MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
By And Between The
CITY OF KENT
and
KENT POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
Representing the
POLICE SERGEANTS AND OFFICERS
Regarding
Subsection 4.7.2 Standby for Duty (Detectives)
This Memorandum of Agreement ("MOV) is entered into by and between the City
of Kent ("the City") and the Kent Police Officers Association, representing the Police
Sergeants and Officers' bargaining unit (referred to herein as "KPOV), to revise the
method by which standby duty is compensated.
Background
The City and the Union are parties to a collective bargaining agreement ('CBA")
effective January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2021.
The parties' CBA currently provides at Section 4.7.2 that Detectives shall earn 5.5
compensatory hours for each completed week of standby duty, while Investigations
Sergeants or designees (as assigned by the Chief) shall earn 2.75 compensatory
hours for each completed week of standby duty, each of which is to accrue to
officers' leave banks at time and one-half.
This MOA amends Section 4.7.2.0 of the CBA to change the compensation provided
for standby duty from compensatory hours credited to officers' leave banks, to an
hourly wage that is paid to officers through regular payroll processing to
compensate officers for standby duty performed. In addition, this MOA provides
that all leave existing in officers' standby leave banks on December 1, 2019, will be
cashed out through the December 20, 2019, paycheck.
Agreement
The parties agree as follows:
1. Subsection 4.7.2.0 of the CBA is amended as follows, and the remaining
provisions of Subsection 4.7.2 remain unaffected by this MOA:
Subsection 4.7.2. Standby for Duty (for Detectives)

C. To compensate Detectives for the standby requirement to
respond to call back (per 4.7.2.B.2 above), Detectives shall earn
8.25 hours of standby pay at their fully -loaded hourly rate of
pay
—for each completed week of standby duty. Investigations
Sergeants or designee (as assigned by the Chief) shall earn
4.125 hours of standby pay at their fully loaded hourly rate of
pay
half, for each completed week of standby duty. In addition,
Investigations Sergeants shall not be mandated off on holidays
in accordance with Section 7.2.I. These-heuFs F,'-, " uRd•ef
Any hours remaining in an Employee's Standby Leave Bank as of
December 1, 2019 will cash out automatically on the December
20, 2019 paycheck. Prior to December 1, 2019, Employees may
request a cash -out of all or any portion of their Standby Leave
Bank. Once an Employee notifies his or her timekeeper of the
Employee's desire to cash -out Standby Leave, and if that
notification is provided within two (2) business days prior to the
payroll cut-off date established by Finance, the Employee's cash -
out request will be processed for payment on the next regular
pay date. If the request is received after that date, the cash -out
will be processed for payment on the next following pay date.
Under no circumstances shall Employees be allowed to use
Standby Leave as time off.
All standby hours placed in compensatory time banks as
originally directed by the 2019-2021 CBA shall be cashed out at
the Employee's fully -loaded hourly rate of pax.
2. The change in compensation method from compensatory leave accrual to
payment of an hourly wage as provided for in this MOA shall begin for all
standby duty assignments on Y-Uaad" lI , 2019`. ,

3. All other language of the CBA shall remain in full force and effect and shall
not be altered by this MOA.
4. All acts consistent with the terms of this MOA and prior to its effective date
are ratified and affirmed and the terms of this MOA shall be deemed to have
applied.
5. This MOA was prepared and/or reviewed by both parties. In the event of an
ambiguity in any term of this MOA, it shall be interpreted evenly, and not
against the drafter of the MOA. The principle of contra proferentem shall not
apply.
