PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

LOWER COLUMBIA COLLEGE

[Filed March 31, 2021, 9:56 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 132M-104-010 rule on regular meeting for board of trustees, and 132M-108-020 Brief adjudicative procedure.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28B.50.140.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: WAC 132M-104-010 rule on regular meeting for board of trustees is duplicative and in part inconsistent with the Open Public Meetings Act (RCW 42.30.075).

WAC 132M-108-020 Brief adjudicative procedure, needs minor grammatical and formatting corrections and also needs clarification that this WAC applies to appeals pursuant to any other formal rule adopted by the college which specifically provides for a brief adjudicative procedure.

Process for Developing New Rule: Normal rule making.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Kendra Sprague, 1600 Maple Street, Longview, WA 98632, phone 360-442-2121, fax 360-442-2129, TTY 800-833-6388, email ksprague@lowercolumbia.edu, website https://lowercolumbia.edu/disclosure/rulemaking.php.
