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:
SECTION 1. Repealer. Resolution No. 028-07 of the City of Port
Orchard is hereby repealed.
SECTION 2. 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 $55
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.
SECTION 3· Effective Date. The effective date of this resolution shall
be January 1, 2012.
