A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON,
ESTABLISHING REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR ENHANCED POLICE
SECURITY EXPENSES.
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard has a municipal work force with
specific skills and responsibilities, and
WHEREAS, the City is prohibited from donating time, materials and
money for private purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City seeks to enhance public safety for specific
community events, without undue expense from those events being placed on the City;
now, therefore;
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
THAT: Community events or private activities, which have not been
previously exempted from reimbursement under prior City ordinance or resolution, and
which require enhanced police security shall pay a flat rate of $40 per hour to the City
for each commissioned officer and police reserve. The use of commissioned officers and
police reserves shall be at the sole discretion of the Chief of Police. The presence of
additional uniformed police within the City is deemed to be a public benefit, and thus
the full cost of the officer, if greater than the above hourly rate, shall be an authorized
City expense.
