Council approves 202527 police-guild contract; directs staff to prepare donation resolution

Following executive session on June 3, the Lake Stevens City Council authorized the mayor to sign a new collective bargaining agreement covering 202527 and 2027 for limited and noncommissioned police employees and directed staff to prepare a resolution to accept a donated parcel of real property for public purposes.

"I move to approve and authorize Mayor Gailey to sign the 2025-2027 collective bargaining agreement between the City of Lake Stevens and the Lake Stevens Police Guild," a council member said on the record; the motion passed by voice vote.

Nut graf: Council returned from executive session and took two formal actions: approval of the police-guild collective bargaining agreement and direction to prepare a resolution accepting parcel number 45710000420 (described in discussion as 2608 and 100th/Third Avenue SE) as a donation for public use. Staff will prepare the formal resolution to bring back for council adoption.

The motion on the collective bargaining agreement authorized the mayor to execute the contract; the motion carried with no recorded opposition. Later, a council member asked staff to bring forward a resolution to accept the donation of parcel 45710000420 (2608 100th/Third Avenue SE) for public purpose under the city code (Chapter 3.6); the council seconded and approved that direction.

Ending: The contract authorization and direction to draft a donation resolution conclude council action from executive session; staff will return with the formal resolution and any contract documents for public record.
