LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Alison Grazzini-Smith of the State Board staff presented that the 2013 regular legislative session
adjourned Sine Die on Sunday, April 28. The Governor has called legislators back to Olympia for a
special session beginning May 13 to finalize operating and capital budgets.
The Board was provided with an overview of the regular legislative session and the post-session
process. As the legislative process winds down, staff has started working on a detailed session
summary report and an internal debrief document. In addition, an interim legislative outreach plan is
being created to maximize opportunities in educating legislators about the community and technical
college system.
PUBLIC HEARING AND REPEAL OF WAC 131-16 SBCTC RETIREMENT PLAN AND APPROVAL
OF STATE BOARD RETIREMENT PLAN(RESOLUTIONS 13-05-23 AND 13-05-24)
John Boesenberg of the State Board staff presented that the State Board governs the State Board
Retirement Plan through adoption of Washington Administrative Codes (WAC) and a Plan Document.
The WACs provide State Board policy. The Plan Document includes those same policies as well as
state law and federal regulation. To eliminate this duplication and avoid potential confusion, staff
proposes repeal of the WACs governing the Plan and adoption of an updated Plan Document. The
updated Plan Document includes one policy change: allowing Plan participants, under limited
circumstances, to access retirement benefits while still employed.
John discussed the outreach process for system stakeholders and indicated no concerns arose.
In accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act, the Board held a public hearing on the proposed
resolution.
MOTION: Moved by Beth Willis and seconded by Wayne Martin that the State Board adopt
Resolution 13-05-23 approving the repeal of WAC 131-16 SBCTC Retirement Plan.
MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION: Moved by Beth Willis and seconded by Jim Bricker that the State Board adopt
Resolution 13-05-24 approving the SBCTC Retirement Plan Document.
MOTION CARRIED.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Denise Graham of the State Board staff presented that the State Board carries out its statutory
powers and duties through various means, including the adoption of policies published in and made
available through the State Board Policy Manual. The Policy Manual contains delegations of authority
from the Board to the executive director. Most of these delegations have not been changed since
1997. At this meeting staff will brief the Board on existing delegations of authority and make
recommendations for changes. At the June meeting, the Board will be asked to adopt a resolution

Board members asked for a report at the next meeting to include other state agency directors’
delegation limits.
