Respondent

Complainant

Roger Lenk

Description

The complaint alleged that Marla Rico, a 2017 candidate for Pasco City Council, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .700, .235, and .240 for failure to accurately and timely file a Candidate Registration (C-1) report, Personal Financial Affairs (F-1) Statement, Monetary Contribution (C-3) reports and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure (C-4) reports, disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. 

If elected, Rico would most likely not have been seated on the Pasco City Council because she no longer resided in Pasco.

Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Marla Rico will receive a formal written warning concerning her failure to timely file required PDC reports. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation Marla Rico timely file all future required reports should she be a future candidate for elective office. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. 

Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
