C. Deliberative process exemption RCW 42.17.310(1)(i)/42.56.210(1)(i) exempts “Preliminary drafts, notes, recommendations, and intra-agency memorandums in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended” except if the record is cited by the city.
In order to rely on this exemption, the city must show that the records contain predecisional opinions or recommendations of subordinates expressed as part of a deliberative process; that disclosure would be injurious to the deliberative or consultative function of the process; that disclosure would inhibit the flow of recommendations, observations, and opinions; and finally, that the materials covered by the exemption reflect policy recommendations and opinions and not the raw factual data on which a decision is based. Courts have held that this exemption is “severely limited” by its purpose, which is to protect the free flow of opinions by policy makers. It applies only to those portions of a record containing recommendations, opinions, and proposed policies; it does not apply to factual data contained in the record. The exemption does not apply to records or portions of records concerning the implementation of policy or the factual basis for the policy. The exemption does not apply merely because a record is called a “draft” or stamped “draft.” Recommendations that are actually implemented lose their protection form disclosure after they have been adopted by the agency.
D. Employment and licensing information as set forth in RCW 42.56.250.
E. Library records as set forth in RCW 42.56.310.
F. Personnel information as set forth in RCW 42.56.230. (Ord. 1570-07 § 5, 2007)
A. Costs for Paper Copies. There is no fee for inspecting public records. A requestor may obtain standard black and white photocopies for fifteen cents per standard page and large format copying costs as provided on the public records request form. In the event of amendment to RCW 42.56, this fee shall automatically adjust to the maximum allowable charge under RCW 42.56. In the event the city treasurer determines the actual cost of providing copies, the actual cost shall be charged.
Before beginning to make the
copies, the public records officer or designee may require a deposit of up to
ten percent of the estimated costs of copying all the records selected by the
requestor. The public records officer or designee may also require the payment
of the remainder of the copying costs before providing all the records, or the
payment of the costs of copying an installment before providing that installment.

The petition shall include a copy of or reasonably identify the written statement by the public records officer or designee denying the request.
