Transportation Committee sets new app process for proviso requests, announces staff coverage changes
Summary
Committee leadership introduced temporary staff coverage for absent staff, named staff assignments and briefed members on a new desktop app for submitting proviso/project requests; members were asked to coordinate with caucus policy staff before submission.
Chair Fye and Mark Mattson, committee staff coordinator, briefed members on temporary staffing adjustments and a new process for submitting proviso and project requests.
Mattson said Michael Hirsch’s portfolio has been divided temporarily while Hirsch is on family leave; staff assignments include Amy Skei for budget questions, Chris Thomas for WSDOT capital portfolio matters, Dave Monnake as committee attorney staffing ferries, and Lily Smith assisting on aviation and vehicle licensing. Mattson said committee staff will share a staff‑assignment sheet with members.
Chair Fye and staff described a new desktop app for members and legislative assistants to submit proviso and project requests. The chair asked members to coordinate requests with caucus policy staff and caucus liaisons so requests can be reviewed in the system; he said caucus staff and committee staff have been trained on the app and that its use should improve efficiency and transparency.
The meeting concluded with logistical reminders about caucus locations and the committee adjourned.
