MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BY AND BETWEEN THE
CITY OF KENT
AND
WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL OF COUNTY AND CITY EMPLOYEES
AFSCME, AFL-CIO, LOCAL #2617
REGARDING
LIMITED-TERM POSITIONS IN ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
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 three (3) approved 1.0 FTE limited-term
positions (#10959, #10960, #10961) assigned to the Economic and Community
Development Department ("Department").
The City and the Union are parties to a collective bargaining agreement, effective
January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2019 (hereinafter "CBA"), which provides in
Section 1.4 that limited-term positions are those that are grant funded or project
based and do not exceed three years in duration. A limited term position is
considered a regular position that is entitled to recognition by the bargaining unit
and all aspects of the CBA. Once created, the CBA requires that limited-term
positions be filled under the provisions of Section 3.7 of the CBA, and that the
recruitment clearly state the expected duration of the position.
The City Council has approved three (3) limited term positions, each to be filled as
a 1.0 FTE, to assist with the backlog the Department is currently experiencing in
plan review and permit inspections. In addition, an additional Plans Examiner, a
regular 1.0 FTE position, was awarded to the Department through the budget and
the City is currently recruiting for that position. The City and the Union have
agreed that the following provisions will apply to these three new limited-term
positions (#10959, #10960, #10961) throughout the duration of their term:
1. Each limited-term position is currently expected to last for the entire three
(3) year term, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties in
accordance with Section 1.4 of the CBA. Currently, the limited-term positions
are expected to end on or before April 1, 2021.
2. The limited-term positions will be established as one (1) Combo Building
Inspector, with a salary range of AF35, and two (2) Plans Examiners, with a
salary range of AF37.
3. Any new FTE position that Council may award to the Department after
incumbents are placed in their limited term positions will be filled in
accordance with Section 3.7 of the CBA. The incumbents in the limited term
positions shall have the same opportunity to apply for the new FTE position
as any other Union member. If, however, the new FTE position converts the
