Summary

Council approved two annual facility-use agreements allowing the Buckley Fire Department and Police Department to use facilities at the DSHS Rainier School for training.

The Buckley City Council voted to approve two facility-use agreements with the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Rainier School, allowing the city’s fire and police departments to use specified school facilities for training.

Chief Eric Scogans explained the fire-department agreement permits use of identified facilities for training; the council clarified the agreement is a facilities-use arrangement rather than a staffing or employment-sharing contract. The police-department agreement was described as similar (“ditto” in the transcript) and passed on a separate motion.

Both agreements were presented as recurring annual arrangements; council recorded the motions and approved each by voice vote. No detailed financial terms or exact facility lists were read into the record during the council discussion.

Minutes show the council approved the fire department agreement first and then the police department agreement; both passed by voice vote with the transcript recording “All in favor? Aye. Motion carries.”
