County Reaches Tentative Agreement
with Deputy Sheriff's Guild
PORT
ORCHARD, WA—Kitsap County and the Kitsap County
Deputy Sheriff's Guild have reached a tentative agreement on a two-year
collective bargaining agreement covering 2006 and 2007. The Guild is
expected to ratify the agreement by vote next week. If approved by the
members of the Guild, the settlement will be submitted to the Board of
County Commissioners for their consideration and approval in mid-July.
Sheriff Steve Boyer said, "I am pleased we were able to reach an agreement
with the Deputy's Guild. These men and women are on the front lines working
hard for our citizens every day in an extremely stressful job. It is
important that they are able to focus on their jobs at hand and work
together as a team."
A copy of the recommended settlement will be available for review after the
Guild has had an opportunity to meet with its members and explain the
settlement.
