Omak Council Approves Police Contract Changes

🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

Omak City Council approved Resolution 55-2026 on August 17, 2026, to revise an agreement with Teamsters Local No. 760. The change adjusts the workweek definition from Monday to Sunday to Sunday to Saturday to match current practices.

The agreement modification addresses discrepancies in evaluating work weeks. Omak Police Chief Daniel Christensen noted the city had been using Sunday to Saturday while the contract used Monday to Sunday, causing inconsistencies. The change aligns the city's practice with other employee units.

The council also approved Resolution 56-2026 authorizing a professional services agreement with Police Training Solutions for an independent review of a force incident and administrative investigation.
