Subject: COVID-19 March 25, 2020 Update
The information listed below has come-up since yesterday's message was sent. It will be shared with the WACTC Commissions. Additional information/details may be accessed through our Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PnHhItWpvNhUhhxrCq5LSzxjenmVS5nw
* General Information:
* Governor Inslee issued Governor's Proclamation 20-28<https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/proclamations/20-28%20-%20COVID-19%20Open%20Govt%20Laws%20Waivers%20%28tmp%29.pdf> (Open Public Meetings Act and Public Records Act) yesterday, March 24, 2020. It's designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 through limiting personal contact currently required in the Open Meetings and Public Records acts..
? Summary. Proclamation 20-28 temporarily prohibits in-person contacts with the public that are required by the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) (RCW 42.30) and the Public Records Act (PRA) (RCW 42.56), suspending some statutory language that would require such contacts. It also temporarily suspends the PRA's requirements for agencies to respond to PRA requests for public records within 5 business days from receipt, and to maintain business hours for public inspection and copying of records for a minimum of 30 hours per week. It is effective from March 24, 2020 until midnight, April 23, 2020, unless extended beyond that date. Details are available within the proclamation.
? Suggestions to Implement Proclamation 20-28. The AG's Office suggests several non-binding options to implement this proclamation. They have been posted to the Google Drive in the "General guidance and resources" folder (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FAS-3AX_qNvzaLX7HA1liqGXymJ8FtQH). More than one option may be applicable at a particular institution or in a given circumstance, or there may be other options. In addition, as events unfold, there may be future legal developments that may affect some options. There's recognition that events are developing quickly, particularly as they involve the impacts of actions taken to limit virus transmissions.
? General Guidance. This general guidance is as of March 24, 2020. This is not legal advice or a legal opinion, and concerns only some parts of the OPMA and PRA. If agencies need legal advice or a legal opinion on these matters, want guidance on other laws or other issues, want to consider other options, or there are other legal developments in the future with respect to COVID-19 disease outbreak, they should consult with their attorneys. State agencies should consult with their assigned Assistant Attorney General.
? HRMC and BAC have scheduled weekly meetings to discuss and share information related to COVID-19 impacts to their respective areas. (IC and WSSC began meeting last week.)
* Capital and Operating Budget
? Capital Construction. DES has determined that continued construction is "essential" under the definitions provided in Governor Inslee's proclamation. However, at least one contractor on a major project has provided notice of potential impact on availability of labor and material due to COVID-19. This is the first step in a change order. Invoking the Force Majeure clause allow for time extensions but not a monetary change in the contract amount. Contractors have been known to combine Force Majeure with other claims to support monetary claims. DES has said contractors are currently expected to work unless the college prohibits the work. Denying the contractor access to the job site may be cause for increasing contract time and amount.
? College project managers may be working from home and not able or willing to coordinate the minor work on campus.
? Colleges may consider starting sooner and accelerating minor projects previously scheduled to occur during summer break.
? Colleges are encouraged to make every effort to get as much work capital done while campuses are closed to gatherings. Do not assume the minor capital funds will be re-appropriated. If projects are delayed or can't be completed due to COVID-19, impacts will be assessed later.
o College business offices will be asked to submit costs and revenue losses to the State Board for consolidation prior to submittal to the Military Department and OFM. The Tracking spreadsheet and guidance were provided March 14 and we will be aiming to provide our system's data by or near the end of March. The State Board will establish a regular reporting cycle, likely weekly, after this first submittal. Details and timeline for this first submittal will be provided through the BAC and BAR listservs.
* Employment
o DOC has confirmed contracted education faculty/staff are designated as "essential staff," and are expected to continue to report to work within the established protocols. We are continuing to implement "social Distancing" and "Total Lockdown" facility educational service plans.
* Issues being worked:
o State Board will connect with Hospital Association to get their thinking on the need for our allied health programs to continue producing graduates, while working within Governor Inslee's orders.
o Placement Tests. State Board staff will work with Instruction Commission to identify and resolve issues related to accessing placement tests.
o State Board is confirming dates included in the Stay Home Stay Healthy proclamation. The order is effective today March 25 at midnight. The end date is less clear, as both April 6 and April 8 are mentioned in the proclamation.
