EYE ON JEFFERSON: Board eyes added money for program

The three Jefferson County commissioners are expected to approve an allocation to the Partnerships for Success program at their meeting Monday.

The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.

The additional allocation of $40,441 will supplement the initial $53,921 contract for a total of $94,362 for the program, which supports substance-abuse prevention efforts.

The funds support the program from Oct. 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015.

The item is on the consent agenda, which means there will be no discussion unless it is requested by a member of the public.

Additional items on the consent agenda include:

■ Approval of a collective bargaining agreement for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Uniformed Support Services Employees, Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).

■ An agreement to provide law enforcement services in the amount of $200,000 for the Hoh tribe.

■ The approval of a change order for the Snow Creek Road culvert replacement project in the amount of $687.
