Ravalli County commissioners approved a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for detention officers covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028 at the June 10 meeting.
County staff confirmed a requested textual correction involving a benefits phrase ("in lieu of" vs. a typographical form) and said Human Resources had corrected the document prior to the vote. A commissioner noted clothing allowance language was not renegotiated because the bargaining unit considered it already ratified.
Why it matters: The multiyear CBA sets terms of pay and benefits for detention staff and establishes compensation and benefit mechanics that affect county operations and budget forecasting.
Board action and vote
A motion to approve the detention officer CBA was moved, seconded and carried; commissioners present recorded affirmative votes.
Ending
Staff noted the corrected language would be reflected in the final signed agreement and that copies would be finalized and distributed.
