MRSC Library Information Partnership Program Special Request

MRSC strives to provide Washington's local governments with the most comprehensive and current clearinghouse of policies and plans of any state in the nation. Our goal is to give you access to the information you need, when you need it.

To achieve this goal, we need your help. Please review the list of document types attached and send us any current policies and plans on these topics. While we prefer electronic format (send to MRSC), we also gladly accept your paper documents. We do not expect every local government in the state to have or send us documents on every topic. If we receive a few documents from each of you, all of you will have a richer document library from which to choose.

Please keep this list in mind should you develop policies or plans of these types in the future. In addition, we enourage all Washington local governments to send MRSC "non-housekeeping" ordinances on an ongoing basis on all topics ranging from dress codes for baristas to regulating motorized scooters. Housekeeping or "special" ordinances are those that are not of a substantive or general and permanent nature, for example, rezones, easements, vacations, dedications, plat approvals, etc.

Thank you for your cooperation and don't hesitate to contact us whether you are seeking sample documents, advice or both.
