Council approves $2,691 appropriation to Civil Service Commission
Summary
The Soap Lake City Council unanimously approved a one-time appropriation of $2,691.05 to the Civil Service Commission after the commission presented a formal demand and threatened legal action if funds were not provided by April 7.
The Soap Lake City Council voted unanimously April 2 to appropriate $2,691.05 from the General Fund to the Civil Service Commission after the commission presented a formal demand for funds under RCW 41.12.200.
Commissioner Gravelle, representing the Civil Service Committee, presented the demand and requested the city provide the funding amount before April 7, 2025 or face legal action. The council recorded Mayor Peter Sharp providing the requested dollar amount of $2,691.05. During discussion the presenter asked that funds be appropriated “not to exceed four-tenths of one percent of the total payroll of those included under the jurisdiction and scope of RCW 41.12.200.” City Attorney Norton explained that some commission expenses are already being appropriated from the General Fund.
Councilmember Bryson moved the appropriation; Councilmember Carlson seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The action was recorded as an appropriation for the 2025 budget year; no additional follow-up or schedule for payment was specified in the meeting record.
