By And Between
THE CITY OF KENT
And
WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL OF COUNTY AND CITY EMPLOYEES,
AFSCME, AFL-CIO, Local #2617
This Memorandum of Understanding (hereafter referred to as the "Agreement")
memorializes the agreement between the City of Kent ("City") and Washington
State Council of County and City Employees, AFSCME Local #2617 ("Union"). This
Agreement was ratified by the union membership on December 30, 2008 and
approved by the City Council on January 6, 2009. This MOU shall supplement the
current 2006-2008 collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") and become part of the
CBA by this reference. The parties agree to the following with regard to
extension of the current CBA for 2009:
1. CBA Extension: Extend the current CBA and all Memoranda of
Understanding ("MOU's") in effect except for the items listed below, which
shall supersede the current CBA and MOU's. The current CBA and MOU's will
therefore be extended and will expire on December 31, 2009.
2. Successor CBA: The parties agree to continue to negotiate for a successor
CBA, and to carry forth any tentative agreements between the parties not
included herein toward the 2010 successor CBA.
3. Wages: Effective January 1, 2009, members of the bargaining unit will
receive 2.8% for Cost of Living Adjustment ("COLA"). Effective July 1, 2009,
members of the bargaining unit will receive an amount equivalent to the
remainder of 5.6% (approximately 2.72%) for COLA for 2009 in addition to
the 2.8% previously received on January 1, 2009.
4. Day Off with Pay: For the 2009 calendar year, regular full time employees
of the bargaining unit shall receive one (1) eight-hour day off with pay.
Regular part-time employees of the bargaining unit shall receive the
equivalent one (1) day off with pay that is pro-rated based on the employee's
budgeted percentage of a full time position. This day off with pay shall be
separate from the vacation, sick leave, or holiday leave currently contained
In the CBA. This day off with pay shall have no cash value and must be used
within the 2009 calendar year. Scheduling of this day off shall be subject to
management approval to ensure that there will be no increase in overtime,
no additional cost to the City, and no significant impact to the work unit's
level of service. Vacation leave request and approval procedures shall apply
to the request and use of this day off. There shall be no carry over of the
unused day off or any portion thereof unless management denies the use of
such based on unforeseeable events or the inability to maintain adequate
staffing. If an employee is denied the use of said day off, carry over
exceptions shall be reviewed and approved by the Employee Services
