Anderl, Lisa (2): Alleged Violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the 2019 and 2021 campaigns for the Mercer Island City Council (EY'21; Sept'21)

Case

#98212

Respondent

Lisa Anderl

Complainant

Richard Erwin Jr

Description

The complaints alleged Lisa Anderl, who holds the office of Mercer Island City Council Position 6 and is a candidate for the same position, violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures on Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Full Summary Contributions and Expenditures (C-4) reports. 

Based on staff findings and the fact Lisa Anderl took prompt action to comply, PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation.

However, Anderl will receive a formal written warning pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d) concerning the failure to timely report contributions and expenditures. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation Anderl will, in the future, timely and accurately file PDC reports and disclose contributions and expenditures as required by law.

The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on future 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).
