    AN ACT Relating to the community outdoor athletic fields advisory council; and amending RCW 79A.25.810.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

 

    Sec. 1.  RCW 79A.25.810 and 1998 c 264 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) A community outdoor athletic fields advisory council is established within the interagency committee for outdoor recreation.  The advisory council shall consist of nine members, from the public at large, appointed as follows:  (a) Four members appointed by the chairperson of the interagency committee for outdoor recreation; (b) two members appointed by the house of representatives, one each appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives and the minority leader of the house of representatives; (c) two members appointed by the senate, one each appointed by the majority leader of the senate and the minority leader of the senate; and (d) one member appointed by the governor, who shall serve as chairperson of the advisory council.  If a position on the advisory council which is supposed to be filled by an appointment by either the house of representatives or the senate is vacant for more than ninety days because of a failure to make the appointment, the chairperson of the interagency committee may appoint a person to fill the vacancy.  The appointments must reflect an effort to achieve a balance among the appointed members based upon factors of geographic, population density, racial, ethnic, and gender diversity, and with a sense and awareness of community outdoor athletic fields needs, including the complete variety of outdoor athletic activities.

    (2) The community outdoor athletic fields advisory council shall annually advise, provide information to, and make recommendations to the interagency committee for outdoor recreation on how to allocate all of the funds deposited in the youth athletic facility account created in RCW 43.99N.060(4).  These recommendations must include, at a minimum, recommendations concerning the distribution of funds deposited in the youth athletic facility account between the maintenance of existing athletic facilities, the development of new athletic facilities, the improvement of existing athletic facilities, and the award of funds from the youth athletic facility ((grant)) account ((created in RCW 43.99N.060(4),)) to cities, counties, and qualified nonprofit organizations for acquiring, developing, equipping, maintaining, and improving youth or community athletic facilities, including but not limited to community outdoor athletic fields.

    (3) The members shall serve three-year terms.  Of the initial members, two shall be appointed for a one-year term, three shall be appointed for a two-year term, and the remainder shall be appointed for three-year terms.  Thereafter, members shall be appointed for three-year terms.  The member appointed by the governor shall serve as chairperson of the advisory council for the duration of the member's term.

    (4) Members of the advisory council shall serve without compensation, but shall be reimbursed for travel expenses as provided in RCW 43.03.050 and 43.03.060.


    Passed the Senate April 17, 2001.

    Passed the House April 4, 2001.
