Alternative to Filing Interlocal Agreements with County Auditor

RCW 39.34.040 requires that an agreement made pursuant to ch. 39.34 be filed with the county auditor.  The law was amended in 2006 to provide an alternive to filing with the auditor.  

Ch 32 Laws of 2006 (HB 2676) ( 8 KB) amends RCW 39.34.040 by providing  an alternative to filing an interlocal agreement with the county auditor, a public agency may list the agreement on its web site or other electronically retrievable public source. Here is a list of jurisdictions known to MRSC that are posting Interlocal agreements.

While there is no penalty for not filing or posting  agreements pursuant to RCW 39.34.040,  the summary of the decision in State v. Plaggemeier, 93 Wn. App. 472 (1999) indicates that an agreement was invalid as it had not been filed with the auditor and secretary of state. A review of the decision itself, though, shows that the only requirement is to file the agreement with the county auditor. The Plaggemeir decision is important, though, as it invalidates an agreement that was not properly filed.
