Council approves fourth amendment to interlocal for town law-enforcement services
Summary
San Juan County authorized an extension and CPI-based rate adjustment to the town’s law-enforcement interlocal agreement, applying a 5.8% average rate increase tied to recent CPI years.
San Juan County Council authorized the county manager to execute the fourth amendment to the interlocal agreement providing law-enforcement services to the Town of Friday Harbor, extending the contract term and applying a rate increase based on recent consumer-price changes.
Chief Civil Deputy Kim Ott told the council the amendment extends the contract period and applies an average CPI increase (5.8% based on recent years) to the town’s billing. The sheriff’s office and county manager’s office reviewed the amendment; council approved the change by motion.
Council members noted the CPI-based approach is consistent with prior practice and said the increase aligns with recent wage adjustments negotiated for deputies. The motion passed on a voice vote; the county manager was authorized to sign the amendment.
Ending: The contract amendment will be executed by the county manager and applied to the town’s law-enforcement billing; staff said they reviewed the agreement with town representatives and will continue monitoring costs relative to department budgets.
