Along with Governor Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” Proclamation, he has waived certain requirements for local governments relating to both the Open Public Meeting Act (OPMA) as well as the Public Records Act (PRA). The Attorney General’s Office has issued a summary of Governor Inslee’s Proclamation 20-28 along with general guidance an overview and some suggestions related to the Proclamation. Other sources may become available and we will include them here.

MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
Local governments have taken advantage of more collaborative approaches to addressing emergency scenarios by entering into Mutual Aid Interlocal Agreements.
