Who makes the final decision about the future of Capitol Lake?
Ultimately, the Legislature will decide whether to pay for any changes to Capitol Lake. The CLAMP committee will make a recommendation to Linda Bremer, General Administration director, in August 2009. Bremer will consider all of the information and studies that have gone into this effort before taking a recommendation to the State Capitol Committee. This committee must approve the use of all state-owned real estate in Thurston County, which includes Capitol Lake. The State Capitol Committee members are the Commissioner of Public Lands, the Secretary of State, the Lieutenant Governor and the Governor. Director Bremer will work closely with Gov. Chris Gregoire on this issue.
