Section 1. Ordinance 2754 as amended, and Chapter 2.74 of the Port Angeles Municipal
Code are hereby amended by adding new subsections 2.74.030(B)(24) and 2.74.030(B)(25) and
�ming the existing subsection 2.74.030(B) 24 to (B) 26 as follows:

t

J 2.74.030 - Procedures for requests and response to requests.
t
,2.74.030(8)(24) Timely Action on Requests
The Act requires an agency to take the "most timely possible action on requests" and make records
At available." RCW 42.56.100 and 42.56.080. However, treating requestors similarly does
not mean that agencies must process requests strictly in the order received because this might not
�be providing the "most timely possible action" for all requests. A relatively simple request need not
wait for a long period of time while a much larger or more complex request is beim; fulfilled.
Agencies are encouraged to be flexible and process as many requests as possible even if they are
out of order. WAC 44.14.04003. Recognizing this,the Public Records Officer is hereby authorized
to process requests in the order, as deemed by the Public Records Officer,to allow the most requests
to be processed in the most efficient manner.
2.74.030(8)(25) Multiple Requests by Same Party
When the same requester simultaneously submits multiple, separate requests or makes one or more
additional requests when previous requests are open, staff may queue the requests in the order in
which they were received. Staff is not required to work on an additional request until the initial
requests are completed and closed. Requesters are responsible for informing the Public Records
Officer if they want to reprioritize the fulfillment of their requests.
