Council places Sunnyside jail interlocal renewal on consent after minor edits to agreement
Summary
The council reviewed a standard annual renewal of the Sunnyside jail interlocal agreement; staff reported minor fee increases and edits recommended by the city attorney and placed the item on consent.
The Orting Police Department presented an annual interlocal agreement renewal with Sunnyside Jail on Feb. 19. Chief Gabrelick said Sunnyside remains a lower-cost option for housing inmates for longer commitments and that the renewal included minor fee increases.
City attorneys reviewed and recommended small changes to contract language, including striking an arbitration clause and editing renewal terms; staff described the edits as routine. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions about automatic renewal mechanics and the chief said successive renewals are conditioned on mutual agreement.
Councilmembers indicated support and moved the renewal to the consent agenda for formal approval at a regular meeting.
What happens next: staff will place the renewed interlocal agreement on the consent agenda for council approval.
