and the International Association of Firefighters Local 613
The following Memorandum of Agreement is made this 1,,_),Litay of � u,ro, , 2016, between the
City of Bozeman (the "Employer") and the International Association of Firefighters Local 613 (the
"Union").
In the spirit of mutual cooperation and the fulfillment of common interests, the Employer and Union
desire to enter into this MOA to provide modified terms and conditions for the Engineer promotional
process to be conducted in June 2016, to ensure we have at least two (2) qualified candidates to compete
for the vacant Engineer position.
An e-mail was sent on April 11, 2016 to all BFD personnel who met the service time requirements for the
position of Engineer as outlined in Article 16 of the current collective bargaining agreement (2016-2018)
to gauge interest in the position. One (1) out of five (5) potential candidates responded with interest in the
position, the other four (4) candidates declined. The Employer and Union feel that a promotional process
should include at least two (2) qualified candidates in order to ensure a healthy and competitive process.
In order to increase the potential candidate pool for the Engineer position the parties hereby agree as
follows:
1. This MOA will supplement and amend the existing collective bargaining agreement between the
City of Bozeman and the IAFF Local 613 Bozeman Firefighters' (2016 — 2018) but shall only apply
for the current promotional process to the position of Engineer in June 2016. Future promotional
processes shall follow the existing collective bargaining agreement and can be changed only by an
additional MOA or open contract negotiations.
2. The "Years completed with BFD" for the position of Engineer shall be changed from 6 years to 4
years (Firefighter V Class) for the June 2016 promotional process to fill the vacant Engineer
position.
3. The Employer and Union agree that all other requirements for the position, including the
completion of the IFSTA work tasks sheets outlined in the BFD driver training program, shall
remain in place for this promotional process.
In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have set their hands this;eday of O ti r A , , 2016.
