Sheriff’s office contracts and grants acknowledged; wellness grant and cost-per-deputy resolution noted
Summary
The Board acknowledged multiple sheriff’s office items on the consent calendar, including a UnitedHealthcare contract for jail services effective June 1, 2026, an amendment to CompassDirect Healthcare increasing compensation by $5,000, Resolution 2026-115 adopting the 2026 cost-per-deputy, and a $49,900 officer wellness grant.
The consent calendar included several items for the Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office. The Board acknowledged a contract with UnitedHealthcare for jail healthcare beginning June 1, 2026 (recorded in the minutes as effective until 'further notice'). The minutes also note Amendment #1 to a CompassDirect Healthcare contract for the Kittitas County Jail with an increase of $5,000.
Resolution No. 2026-115, adopting the Sheriff cost-per-deputy for Budget Year 2026, was listed and included with the consent items. The Board also acknowledged a Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission grant for officer wellness in the amount of $49,900 (listed with an effective date of July 1, 2026 in the minutes). A Cooperative Law Enforcement Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service for $25,000 was also acknowledged on the consent calendar.
Because these items were bundled on the consent calendar, the minutes record their adoption without separate discussion. Financial and administrative follow-up will be handled by the Sheriff’s Office and Budget & Finance.
