filed by Byron Debban on January 29, 2018. The complaint alleged that Tracy Moore may have violated RCW

Based on our findings, staff has determined that in this instance, misuse of City facilities 
to qualify Shelton Proposition 1 for the ballot, in violation of RCW 42.17 A.555, does not amount 
to, a material violation warranting further investigation.

concerning her misuse of City facilities to qualify Shelton Proposition 1 for the ballot, in 
violation of RCW 42.17 A.555. The formal written warning will include staffs expectation 
that Tracy Moore will cease and desist from future use of public facilities to support or oppose 
any election campaign. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on 
further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.
