Commissioners authorize short extension of courthouse security MOU until Sept. 30
Summary
The board authorized the chair to sign a short extension to the courthouse security MOU while contract negotiations continue; commissioners voted to extend the existing agreement to Sept. 30 and directed staff to continue negotiations.
The Okanogan County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair to sign a short extension to the existing courthouse security memorandum of understanding while the county continues contract negotiations.
At the meeting, a county representative said the MOU for courthouse security — negotiated with Pacific Security and tied to the Okanogan County Sheriff's Employees Association — was set to expire June 30 and that the parties agreed to extend it through Sept. 30 while negotiations continue. A motion to authorize the chair to sign the extension passed by voice vote with no recorded opposing votes.
Why it matters: the extension preserves coverage at the courthouse and avoids an immediate lapse in security services while labor negotiations continue. Staff said the extension is a short, temporary fix so talks can continue.
Formal action: the board moved to authorize the chair to sign the MOU extension; the motion carried with all commissioners voting in favor.
