by and between
Jefferson County Washington
and
Teamsters Local Union No. 589 Sheriff's Office Commissioned Deputies
Jefferson County and Teamsters Local 589 are parties to a Collective Bargaining Agreement(CBA)
which covers a Bargaining Unit of Deputy Sheriffs regarding wages, hours and conditions of
employment.
The parties(hereafter referred to as the"County"and the"Union")recognize the unanticipated impact
upon the deputies of the west end of Jefferson County by the signing of the Hoh Tribal Nation contract,
essentially contracting law enforcement services to the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office. The purpose
of this MOU is to outline the terms and conditions related to the appointment of a Lead Deputy on the
West End of Jefferson County,their remuneration,and their responsibilities as the main point of contact
for the Hoh Tribe, encompassing program management and agency coordination.
The County has requested through the Union,and the Deputies through their Union have agreed, to
amend the existing CBA making an adjustment to assist the County in supervision of programs for the
West End of Jefferson County.
Now, therefore it is agreed:
I. The existing CBA for the period of January 2022 through December 2024, Article 32 is
amended by adding items 2 through 5 as follows:
2. Effective August 22,2023 a"Lead Deputy"will be assigned by the Sheriff, considering
seniority, for assignment in the"West End"of Jefferson County. This employee will serve as
the main point of contact for the Hoh Tribe.
3. The parties agree that the"Lead Deputy"rate of pay will be 10%above the employee's regular
rate of hourly pay per the CBA. This assignment is voluntary and can be rescinded by the
employee or employer at their will with thirty(30)days' notice to the other party and Union.
4. Responsibilities: In addition to the regularly assigned responsibilities,the Lead Deputy will be
responsible for the following:
A. Establishing and maintaining effective communication with the Hoh Tribe.
B. Collaborating with the Hoh Tribe to develop and oversee programs and law enforcement that
promote community welfare,cultural preservation,communication,and collaboration between
the Hoh Tribe and the County.
C.The Lead Deputy shall act as a liaison between the Hoh Tribe and County agencies,
specifically the Sheriff's Office, facilitating information sharing,joint programs,and resolving
issues or conflict that may arise.
D. The County and Union acknowledge the importance of a harmonious working relationship in
fulfilling the objectives of this MOU.
E. The Lead Deputy will be directly responsible for the day-to-day supervision of other assigned
West End deputies,and they will assume a vital role in maintaining integrity of operations. The
Lead Deputy will be entrusted with promptly reporting any identified performance concerns,
policy violations, or matters requiring attention to their immediate chain of command.
F. Both parties shall engage in regular consultations to assess the progress of the Lead Deputy's
responsibilities, and address any concerns or modifications needed to optimize law enforcement
services, program management,or agency coordination.
G. The Union and the County agree that this additional pay is not a promotion, but an added
responsibility that is compensated for such. As such,the Lead Deputy position can be
eliminated at will by the County should responsibilities change or personnel change.
5. This MOU shall terminate upon the signing of a new CBA, or termination of the contract
between the County and the Hoh Tribe for law enforcement services whichever first occurs.
All provisions of the CBA not addressed in this MOU are unchanged for the duration of the CBA.
