SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Yakima Communications Center provides fire dispatching and communications services for
numerous agencies in Yakima County. Each year we readdress these contracts taking into account
service levels and cost of living adjustments. For 2003 we have included a minimum of three
percent (3%) increase in the cost of living adjustment to these contracts. Being that the CPI used in
the computation is at 1.4% this year we will see that 3% applied. These contracts have been
presented to and agreed upon by the participating agencies and are now awaiting the Council's
decision.
