Sedro-Woolley council approves new collective bargaining agreement with Public Safety Guild for commissioned employees

After a short closed session, staff summarized a new collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Sedro‑Woolley Public Safety Guild covering commissioned employees for the 2025–2027 period. City Administrator Charlie and staff noted the financial impacts of the contract are included in the city budget for 2025 through 2027. Council moved to approve the agreement; the motion passed on the recorded voice vote.

Staff did not provide line‑by‑line contract language during the open session; council accepted staff’s summary and directed administration to proceed with implementation per terms agreed in bargaining. The agreement will be implemented consistent with budget appropriations already reflected in the packet.
