WASHINGTON, ADDING NEW SECTIONS TO SPOKANE VALLEY CITY CODE TITLE 2

INCLUSIVE INDEX OF EVERY PUBLIC RECORD, REQUIRED BY RCW 42.17, TO BE
UNDULY BURDENSOME; AND DIRECTING THAT ALL INDEXES MAINTAINED FOR
INTERNAL CITY USE BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION AND COPYING;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The introductory paragraphs state that while RCW 42.17 requires all cities to maintain and make available
a current index of public records, if doing so would be unduly burdensome, a city must issue and publish
a formal order specifying the reasons why compliance would be unduly burdensome.
Section 1 creates new section 2.75.120 and 2.75.130 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code
Section 2.75.120 states findings concerning public records indexes
Section 2.75.130 states the order that to maintain an all-inclusive index of public records would
be unduly burdensome and such a list nearly impossible to create and/or maintain.
Section 2 provides for a severability clause.
Section 3 states this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect five (5) days after publication of the
Ordinance Summary.
The full text of Ordinance No. 04-040 is available at the City of Spokane Valley City offices as identified
