Kittitas County approves MOUs to align PTO accrual language for three bargaining units
Summary
The Board approved memoranda of understanding adjusting PTO accrual language in three collective bargaining agreements (Appraisers, Courthouse, Road) so final-month accrual matches county practice; all three motions passed unanimously 3–0.
Kittitas County commissioners on June 9 approved three memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to align vacation/paid time off accrual language in existing collective bargaining agreements with current county practice. HR Director Jeanne Killgore presented the proposed MOU changes for the Appraisers unit, the Courthouse unit and the Road unit.
For the Appraisers unit, Killgore asked the board to modify Article 14.1(B) — PTO accrual — to make the last month of employment consistent with county practice. Commissioner Brett Wachsmith moved to approve the MOU and Commissioner Cory Wright seconded; the motion passed 3–0. Killgore made the same presentation and the board approved identical language for the Courthouse unit (Local 792CH) to modify Article 14.1(B) and for the Road unit (Local 792) to modify Article 12.1(B), each motion passing 3–0.
The changes were described in the meeting as administrative alignment with existing county practice for accrual in an employee’s final month; the transcript does not list specific effective dates or show amended contract text in the record. The board recorded unanimous recorded votes on each motion. The approvals were part of the regular consent/discussion items handled during the June 9 meeting.
