Outcome

The court of appeals reversed the trial court's summary judgment and ruled that Community Transit's bylaw provision prohibiting a nonvoting board member from attending executive sessions discussing personnel matters conflicts with and is void under RCW 36.57A.050, which grants the board chair discretion to permit such attendance.
