Council ratifies police and Teamsters contracts, adjusts wage schedule
Summary
Council approved collective‑bargaining agreements for Poulsbo police officers and Teamsters representing administrative and public‑works staff and adopted a salary and wages resolution for 2025, incorporating the negotiated increases and market adjustments.
On Dec. 11 the Poulsbo City Council approved two collective‑bargaining agreements and adopted a 2025 salary and wages resolution that incorporates negotiated increases.
Staff summarized the police agreement (Poulsbo Police Officers Association) covering 2025–2027: a 5% adjustment for 2025, step increases in subsequent years, longevity changes, a short‑ and long‑term disability benefit, a new bilingual incentive, and a temporary detective premium increase. A motion to approve the contract and authorize the mayor to sign carried on unanimous vote.
Staff then presented the Teamsters agreement for administrative and public‑works employees, with 3.5% in 2025 and structured increases in the following years plus several market‑rate reclassifications and small allowances. Council approved that contract and authorized the mayor to execute it.
The council also adopted a resolution updating the 2025 salary and wage schedule to reflect these agreements, a 3.5% increase for management and non‑represented staff where noted, and market adjustments for selected positions. Council discussed reserve impacts and directed staff to publish the final budget packet and the ordinance that will adopt the biennial budget next week.
