CEO Guidelines on Reviewing Attorney-Client Documents Requested
by
SAO
The CEO will review requests by the State Auditor's Office to see documents that the Port has
determined to be subject to the Attorney
-
Client privilege. The CEO will use the following
criteria to determine whether or not to allow disclosure:
The CEO will restrict access to privileged documents if it is reasonably foreseeable that the
following might occur:
1.
The disclosure might harm the Port or give rise to a legal risk.
2. Customer or tenant confidential business information might be revealed and such
disclosure could have an adverse impact on the Port.
3.
Personal information might be revealed that is otherwise not subject to public disclosure
under RCW ch. 42.56.
4. The extent of disclosure might allow a third party to argue that the Port has waived the
privilege for other non
-
disclosed documents.
5.
The disclosure reveals the contents of ongoing business negotiations.
6. The disclosure reveals information on appraisals of property the Port is considering
purchasing or selling.
