This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by and between the City
of Kent ("City") and the Washington State Council of County and City Employees,
AFSCME, AFL-CIO, Local #2617 ("Union") to memorialize an agreement reached
between the City and the Union regarding both the removal of the Assistant
Building Official position from the Union, and the addition of a Lead Combination
Building Inspector position to the Union.
The parties have agreed as follows:
1. The Assistant Building Official job classification will be removed from
the Union's bargaining unit, and reclassified as a non-represented supervisory job
classification titled, Assistant Building Services Manager. Any reference in the
parties' collective bargaining agreement to the Assistant Building Official job
classification will be null and void.
2. Those combination building inspector duties formerly performed by the
Assistant Building Official will return to the Union and be performed by a Lead
Combination Building Inspector. The Lead Combination Building Inspector is a new
job classification that will be created, and whose work will remain within the Union.
3. The Lead Combination Building Inspector classification will be included
in Appendix A of the contract, and is assigned salary range of AF 37.
4. The Assistant Building Services Manager position will be reclassified to
be non-represented exempt, and set at salary range NRMC41.
5. The City prepared job descriptions for both of the new positions—the
non-represented Assistant Building Services Manager and the Union Lead
Combination Building Inspector job classification—and the Union approved of those
job descriptions and the separation of duties for which they provide.
6. To the extent the terms of this MOU conflict with the parties' collective
bargaining agreement, the terms of this MOU shall control.

be precedent setting in terms of how future similar issues will be resolved.
9. 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.
By signature below, the parties agree that the above represents the parties' full and
entire agreement with regard to the removal of the Assistant Building Official job
classification from the Union; its reclassification to a non-represented supervisory
position titled, Assistant Building Services Manager; and the creation of a new
Union position, entitled Lead Combination Building Inspector.
