ISLAND COUNTY PUBLIC
RECORD PROCEDURES
Island
County government is organized into separate departments and office
of independently elected or appointed officials. Each department
and office is a "local agency" responsible for its own records
under the definition in RCW 42.17.020(1). There is no central
office with access and responsibility to maintain and control
all records. The separate departments and offices are listed on
the organizational chart entitled "Island County Department List"
which is accessible from the home page of Island County website.
You can make any request you have for public records by writing
to the specific departments Public Disclosure Officer, addressed
to PO Box 5000, Coupeville, Wa 98239. The request should identify
the particular record desired with enough specificity so it can
be located. Individual county departments may have specific public
record request forms available.
Copies
of records shall be made at the costs indicated in Resolution
No. C-33-96.
By
Resolution C-01-95, the Board of County Commissioners and the
other independently elected county officials determined that an
index of records would not be required as allowed by RCW 42.17.260(4).
Substantive
and procedural ordinances and resolutions of a permanent nature
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners and Board of Health
are compiled in the official Island County Code available for
inspection in each county department. An on-line version of the
Island County Code is available on the Internet as a hyperlink
from the Island County Government webpage http://www.islandcounty.net
or you may also choose to access the Island County Code by selecting
the following link: http://www.islandcounty.net/code/index.html.
Because the code is only updated once a year you may need to inspect
the records in the following location to insure that the provision
you are looking for is current. All ordinances, resolutions and
other records of documents adopted by the Board of County Commissioners
are available in the Boards record of proceedings available at
the Island County Auditors Office, Courthouse, Coupeville, Wa.
