Planning Commission adds RCW 35A citation to rules of procedure, motion passes
Summary
Commissioners voted unanimously to add RCW 35A to their rules of procedure after a motion was made and seconded during the March 26 meeting.
The Anacortes Planning Commission voted March 26 to add a citation to RCW 35A in its rules of procedure after a motion from Commissioner McCombs and a second from Commissioner Stoneman.
The vote matters because RCW 35A concerns powers and procedures for optional municipal code structures; the commission discussed whether to include the citation in its procedural materials after the mayor referenced the statute in his state-of-the-city remarks. Commissioner McCombs moved to add the RCW 35A reference to the commission bylaws, and Commissioner Stoneman seconded the motion.
Miss Gleichman conducted a roll call for the vote. The commission voted in favor as follows: Commissioner Mills: yes; Commissioner McCombs: yes; Commissioner Martin: yes; Commissioner Stoneman: yes; Commissioner Turesky (listed as Duretsky in transcript): yes; Commissioner Currier: yes. The chair announced "motion passes" after the roll call.
The commissioners did not record any abstentions or "no" votes during the roll call. The vote was taken during the meeting's business for agenda item 7; staff confirmed the city attorney had reviewed the potential change and indicated adding the citation was permissible but not required.
The commission moved on to a planning department update after the motion passed. Quotes in this article are taken from the March 26, 2025 Anacortes Planning Commission meeting transcript.
