Two for the show: The Bainbridge Island City Council will talk tonight about sending two police officers to help provide security at the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in June.

At its meeting Tuesday May 5, the council will get a look at a memorandum of understanding with Pierce County that would send two officers to golf’s premier event, which is coming to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in the U.S. Open’s history next month.

If city officials approve, the overtime pay for the two Bainbridge officers will be reimbursed by Pierce County.

The sold-out event is June 15-22.

According to the eight-page proposed agreement, Pierce County will cover overtime pay up to a maximum of $72 per hour. Officers may be assigned to course security or traffic control, and police will work day, swing or graveyard shifts of eight to 10 hours a day, beginning Sunday, June 14 and ending Monday, June 22.

Officers who live outside Pierce County are also eligible for temporary housing and a lunch meal for each shift.

Island police — and those from other outside agencies — who are helping with security may also be asked to undergo a one-day training session before the U.S. Open.

If the training is needed, Bainbridge will cover the expense of the training (except housing costs) for its two officers.

All officers assisting with security will also have to abide by U.S. Open rules, which state that any spectator conduct that is not criminal in nature but violates United States Golf Association rules will be handled not by police but by private security workers and event volunteers.

Officers who work at the event are being reminded that their actions can be lawfully videotaped by the news media and private citizens.

Police are also being advised to not shop while on duty, to not use cell phones near golfers, walk across any putting green in non-emergency situations, ask for autographs, or take photographs of players, their families, caddies or any other golfing action or security operations. Officers are also being told to not enter the clubhouse, locker rooms, corporate tents or player hospitality areas unless they are acting in an official capacity.

The Bainbridge council meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 5 at city hall.

If the council decides to approve the agreement with Pierce County, it will be placed on the May 12 consent agenda for a final vote.
