WAC 30-08-030   Board meetings.  (1) General schedule. The board meets at least four times each fiscal year and at such other times as determined to be necessary. All meetings of the board are "regular" or "special" meetings as those designations are applied in chapter 42.30 RCW. Meetings may be called, subject to the notice requirements of chapter 42.30 RCW, at any time and place by the chair or by a majority of the commissioners.

     (2) Notice. Twenty calendar days notice of all meetings shall be given by posting on the commission's web site notification of the date, time and location of the meeting, and by mailing or e-mailing the same to each commissioner and to any person who has made a written request to the commission to receive meeting notices.

     (3) Special meetings. The twenty-day notice may be waived for special meetings upon consent of the chair. In such cases, the provisions of RCW 42.30.080 govern due notification of the time, place, and business to be transacted.
