Training: 2009 Legislation Affecting Washington State Public Works Contracting

Along with John Carpita, Public Works Consultant with the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC), I will be providing training this month on legislation affecting public works contracting that was passed by the Washington State Legislature in their 2009 session.

The training will be held in four locations around Washington State:

• Renton (June 10, 2009 - class filled)
• Camas (June 17, 2009)
• Everett (June 18, 2009)
• Yakima (June 24, 2009)
