BY AND BETWEEN
THE CITY OF KENT (CITY)
AND
WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL OF COUNTY AND CITY EMPLOYEES,
AFSCME, AFL-CIO, LOCAL #2617 (UNION)
As a means of compromise and in light of the extreme staffing difficulties being faced at
the City of Kent Jail, the Union and the City have agreed that Officer McCuistion and Officer
Gnesbach will continue to work some of the uncovered hours at the Jail The most recent
staffing issue is a result of Officer Bradley's medical leave The agreement is reached based on
the very unique eirCLLmstances at the Jail, specifically regarding staffing levels. Specifically, it is
agreed by all parties that this agreement does not set any type of precedent for any future
situations.
During the May-September 2006 cycle, McCuistion and Gnesbach will work a modified
swing shift splitting time between the annex and the Jail. This allows for completion of tasks at
the annex while reducing the amount of mandatory overtime at the Jail.
Wednesday- 1100-1600 annex 1600-2100 Jail (7 Jail staff during overlap)
Thursday- 1100-1600 annex 1600-2100 Jail (5 Jail staff during overlap)
Friday- 1100-1600 annex 1600-2100 Jail (5 jail staff during overlap)
Saturday 1100-1600 annex 1600-2100 Jail (4 Jail staff during overlap)
Staff agree to act in a cooperative manner if overlap staffing and work load issues arise. If
general population staffing falls below three (3) during 1100 through 1600, overlap programs
staff will report to the main facility. Programs staff will be included in mandatory graveyard
overtime if such overtime is annexed to the programs staff s modified work shift however, every
effort w ill be made to have a day shift Corrections Officer report for duty at 0200 hours.

On September 3, 2006, Officers Gnesbach and McCuistion will return to their normal schedules
and days off at the annex. If Officer Bradley returns to duty, or any one hired after the signing of
this M 0 U . assunnes a post prior to September 2, 2006, Officer McCuistion and Officer
Griesbach will return to the annex on the first day of their next workweek If other staffing
issues arise, the parties agree to meet in labor/management to discuss alternatives.
The original MOU signed on February 14, 2006, Officer McCuistion's term as work crew
coordinator was scheduled to end in August 2007and Officer Griesbach's tern as programs
coordinator was scheduled to end in April 2008. Due to the extension of Officer McCuistion and

to extend their work crew coordinator assignments. Officer McCuistion's term as work crew
coordinator w ill end after the 2007 September through December rotation Officer Gnesbach's
