The City of Kent (City) and Kent Firefighters Local 1747, IAFF (Bargaining Unit)
have met and conferred on the application and administration of prevailing City
policies regarding military leave of absence as it relates to members of the

Bargaining Unit members by the City, and to reconcile this uniqueness against the
prevailing City policy, the parties agree, by their signatures to this Memorandum
of Understanding, to the following language, which is hereby attached to and
included in, the Collective Bargaining Agreement now in force between the City
and the Bargaining unit.
The City Policy on Military Leave of Absence, dated February 1, 1991, shall

The City and Bargaining Unit agree that any employee of the Bargaining Unit who
is a member of the Washington National Guard or of any Federal Military Reserve
unit shall be granted military leave of absence from his or her duties with the
City to perform any and all officially ordered military duties, for a combined
period of time in any calendar year not to exceed the following:
