Agreement between the City of Kent and the
Kent Police Officers Association
This Agreement is entered by and between the City of Kent ("City") and the Kent
Police Officers Association representing the Police Sergeants and Officers bargaining
unit and the Police Assistant Chiefs and Commanders bargaining unit (also
collectively referred to herein as "KPOV) regarding continuing medical, dental and
vision benefits for police officer eligible dependents when a police officer's death
occurs while on duty.
The City agrees that when the death of a police officer occurs while on duty, the
City will provide medical, dental and vision benefits to the eligible dependents of
the police officer. The following limitations shall apply:
• The benefits provided by this Agreement shall be provided for three (3)
calendar months following the month in which the death occurs.
• Only eligible dependents of the police officer who are covered on the City's
medical, dental and vision plans at the time of the police officer's death are
eligible for the benefits provided herein; provided, that a child born to or
adopted by the spouse of a police officer after the death of the officer but
prior to the expiration of the period in which the benefits are provided
pursuant to this Agreement shall be eligible for the benefits provided for
herein.
• In the event medical, dental and vision benefits are available at no cost to
the dependents by operation of federal law, state law, separate contract
provision, or through an established KPOA program, the benefits set forth in
this Agreement shall not be available.
• In lieu of providing the medical, dental and vision benefits required herein,
the City may, at its discretion, provide funds in an amount equivalent to the
cost of coverage through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(COBRA) for the three (3) month period.
This Agreement shall be retroactive in application to July 1, 2018, and shall expire
upon the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement between the City and

entire Agreement with regard to these matters.
