Transcription services for board and commission meetings that the Planning Division supports. Planning currently supports the Planning Board (typically two meetings per month), the Architecture Design Board (one meeting per month), the Historic Preservation Commission (one meeting per month). These services are needed in accordance with the Open Public Meeting Act (RCW 42.30), which governs rules for public meetings in Washington State. It is critical that accurate transcription is provided. Each meeting is recorded using the Zoom cloud platform and links to the meeting are emailed to the transcriber by staff the next day. Transcribed minute drafts must be returned in approximately one week. The draft minutes are reviewed and approved by the board or commission at a subsequent meeting and retained as a permanent record.
