Council chair urges clarity on appointments as reappointment deadline approaches
Summary
At the March 12 meeting, Chair Tom Handy asked staff whether council appointments and reappointments would be completed before a 90-day deadline needed for final adoption actions; Managing Director Dustin Curb said appointments are moving forward and that he will reach out to the governor’s office for an update.
During the March 12 Washington State Building Code Council Legislative Committee meeting, Chair Tom Handy asked Managing Director Dustin Curb whether council appointments and reappointments would be processed in time to meet procedural deadlines.
Handy said it would be ‘‘kind of nice to know’’ whether reappointments would be completed before members make other commitments. He asked directly whether staff thought the appointments would meet the 90-day timeline for filling seats. Curb responded that appointments appear to be moving forward and that it is possible they will be submitted before the 90 days is up; he said he would reach out to the governor’s office for a status update and would send messaging to members who are up for reappointment.
No firm dates or confirmed appointment lists were provided during the meeting. Handy noted that clarity on reappointments matters for members planning other work if they are not reappointed. Curb’s commitment to contact the governor’s office represents the next step the committee identified for obtaining scheduling certainty.
The committee did not take a formal vote on appointments; updates were expected at the council’s full meeting in early April and via follow-up from staff.
