MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between the
CITY OF KENT
and
TEAMSTERS LOCAL UNION NO. #117
Affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
regarding
Maintenance Worker II (Positions #10870, #10889, #10890, and #10891)
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") memorializes the agreement between the City
of Kent ("City") and Teamsters Local Union #117 ("Union"), This MOU pertains to the
Maintenance Worker II positions, #10870, #10889, #10890, and #10891, within the
Operations Division of the City's Parks Department, which will be assigned 75% of the year
to the Operations Division of the Parks Department, and 25% of the year to the Operations
Division of the Public Works Department.
Background
The City and the Union are parties to a Collective Bargaining Agreement effective January 1,
2014, through December 31, 2016 ("CBA").
The CBA between the parties does not specifically reference or address the unique aspects
of the Position and its divided responsibilities between two separate departments, or how
matters pertaining to seniority, planned leave, and evaluation of performance will be
addressed.
Purpose
Because of the unique situation posed by the Position, to which four (4) employees are
currently assigned, the parties wish to memorialize the following as their understanding of
how matters concerning seniority, planned leave, and performance evaluations will be
resolved:
1. Seniority: Generally, the Position's seniority shall accrue entirely to the
Operations Division of the Parks Department. As such, for purposes of longevity pay, leave
accruals, layoff, and recall, the Position's seniority shall be defined as provided for within
Section 3.1(A) and 3.1(B) of the CBA. For purposes only of bidding/mandating overtime,
the Position's seniority shall be determined and based entirely on the seniority held by the
incumbent within the Operations Division of the Parks Department, not any time the
incumbent may have spent working within the Operations Division of the Public Works
Department. As such, when the incumbent's Position is assigned to the Public Works
Department for 25% of the year, for purposes of bidding/mandating overtime in the Public
Works Department, the incumbent will always occupy the least senior position. While the
incumbent is assigned to the Parks Department, the incumbent's seniority for purposes of
bidding/mandating overtime shall be defined as provided for in Section 3.1(C) of the CBA
and Appendix C. All other seniority provisions of Article 3 and Appendix C to the CBA, as
applied to the Position, remain unchanged by this MOU.
2. Planned Leave: If the Position's incumbent requests planned leave that will
overlap with his or her assignment between departments, the parties agree that the
assigned supervisor will be responsible for communicating with the other supervisor to
determine if the leave can be approved.
3. Performance Evaluation: The Parks Department is responsible for conducting
annual evaluations on all incumbents assigned to the Position. The assigned supervisor of
the Position, while that Position is assigned to Public Works, will provide feedback to the
MOU Regarding Maintenance Worker II (Positions #10870, #10889, #10890, and #10891)

Parks Department's assigned supervisor for inclusion in the evaluation to account for the
work performed in Public Works.
4. Miscellaneous Provisions:
4.1 To the extent the terms of this MOU conflict with the CBA, the terms of
this MOU shall control.
4.2 Any dispute regarding the interpretation or application of this MOU
shall be handled in accordance with the grievance procedures set forth in the CBA.
4.3 This MOU was prepared and/or reviewed by both parties. In the event
of an ambiguity in any term of this MOU, it shall be interpreted evenly, and not
against the drafter of the MOU. The principle of contra proferentem shall not apply.
4.4 The parties agree that this agreement is non-precedent setting and
shall not limit, restrict, prevent, or require the City or the Union to agree to similar
agreements in the future.
By signing below the parties agree that the above represents the parties' full and entire
agreement with respect to the subject matter of this MOU.
