Enumclaw council approves 2025–27 police officers contract with modest wage and benefit changes
Summary
Enumclaw City Council approved Resolution 1829 on Jan. 27 authorizing a collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Enumclaw Police Officers Association covering 2025–2027, City Administrator Chris Searcy said.
Enumclaw City Council approved Resolution 1829 on Jan. 27 authorizing a collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Enumclaw Police Officers Association covering Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2027, City Administrator Chris Searcy said.
The city and the officers’ bargaining unit reached tentative agreement Jan. 16, and the unit’s membership has ratified the contract, Searcy told the council. Major contract changes for 2025 include a 2.5% market-based wage adjustment, an increase in the school resource officer premium from 2% to 5%, an increase in the annual uniform allowance from $1,000 to $1,300 and a change to the callback minimum from 2.5 hours to 3 hours.
Searcy said the estimated cost impact to the general fund in 2025 is slightly over $59,000 and that the package remains within the council-approved operating surplus for the general fund. He thanked Sergeant Rich Tyson and Officer Eric Vance for participating in bargaining on behalf of the association.
Councilmember Gruner moved to approve Resolution 1829; the motion was seconded (second not specified in the transcript). The council voted by voice; those in favor said "aye," and the clerk announced the resolution approved.
The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute the agreement and directs staff to implement the contract terms in the city’s payroll and budgeting processes.
