COMMISSIONER'S PROCEEDINGS VOL. 0
JEFFERSON COUNTY WASHINGTON
T_ICJ . MUlltAY Ie. ,...81."
Sherif~ Hansen again talked to Commissioners in regard to mandatory implied
consent law which took e~fect December 5th, 1968, and the breathalizer machine that
he would like purchased jointly by the county and the city of Port Townsend. Each
municipalities share would be $417.00. Commissioner. did not feel they could come
to an immediate decision on the matter at this time until they investigated into it
a little ~urther. Shari~f Hansen, also asked for an immediate $25.00 raise per
person for his personnel. The Commissioners advised Sheri~f Hansen that the current
expense fund did not have the funds at this time, and that salaries can only be
determined when the budgets are pending approval. All county personell was granted
a raise January 1, 1969. Sheriff Hansen pointed out that the city police department
was paying $25.00 more per month per man than his present r~se. Commissioners asked
Sheriff Hansen if he had not con~erred with Chief of Police Phegley when both budgets
were presented. Sherif~ Hansen said yes he had conferred with Phegley and it was his
understanding that both departments would ask for the same raise, which Sheriff Hansen
had presented with his budget and the raises he asked for were approved. Sheriff
Hansen pointed out that the Sheriff's Deputies have a wider territory to cover, more
responsibility and a wider scope of responsibility than the men on the City Police
force and the differential in the pay scale could cost him the staff he has. The
Commissioners expressed their regret but they are bound by the RCW and the Commissioners
have no authority to grant salary raises in between budget periods. Hansen asked if
he could raise his deputies now and then come before the Board in November for an
emergency appropriation. Sheriff Hansen felt he would write to the Atbrney General's
office requesting an opinion on granting such a raise. '
