For any proposal for a private project where the city would be the lead agency and for which one or more state agencies have jurisdiction, the responsible official may elect to transfer the lead agency duties to a state agency. The state agency with jurisdiction appearing first on the priority listing in WAC 197-11-936 must be the lead agency and the city will be an agency with jurisdiction. To transfer lead agency duties, the city’s responsible official must transmit a notice of the transfer together with any relevant information available on the proposal to the appropriate state agency with jurisdiction. The responsible official of the city must also give notice of the transfer to the private applicant and any other agencies with jurisdiction over the proposal. (Ord. 3046 § 1 (Att. A), 2019; Ord. 2471 § 1, 1998)
