The Snohomish County Council on May 28 approved four collective-bargaining agreements covering units in the health department and several facilities and maintenance supervisory units.

Jim Martin, council staff, summarized the package: “These 4 motions approve bargaining agreements with unions representing the health department's allied professional unit, environmental health supervisors unit, environmental health unit, and the airport maintenance fleet services, road maintenance, and solid waste supervisors units. Each agreement contains cost of living increases equal to what was approved in previously authorized bargaining agreements, as well as housekeeping and language changes similar to other agreements.”

Council moved through the four motions individually (motions 25-253, 25-254, 25-255, and 25-256) and approved each by voice vote with no recorded dissents; chair reported each passing 5-0. The motions authorizing the agreements instruct staff to implement the contractual terms; the public excerpt does not provide line-item costs or detailed year ranges for every unit in the record. Motion 25-256 was described in the agenda text as a 2025–2028 agreement with Washington State Council of County and City Employees (AFSCME), Local 109s representing airport maintenance, fleet services, road maintenance and solid waste supervisors; the contract years for the other three agreements were not clearly specified in the public transcript excerpt.
