Description

The complaint alleged the Chelan County Republican Central Committee violated RCW 42.17A.235 by failing to timely report contributions and expenditures; RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to completely and accurately report committee officers and RCW 42.17A.425 for allowing non-committee officers to authorize expenditures. 

The CCRCC acknowledged the violation. In addition, the CCRCC made limited expenditures in the form of contributions to candidates during the time frame covered by the complaint and did timely file C-3 and C-4 reports for the final months of 2017, and all of 2018 and 2019.  

The Chelan County Republican Central Committee completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU), paid a $900 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 for failing to timely file the C-3 and C-4 reports listed above. The $900 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the allegations listed in your complaint. 

Based on the above findings and the SOU, staff has determined that, in this instance, this matter does not warrant further investigation. The PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
