MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
WHEREAS, Meridian Fire Station NO.3 is being constructed; and
WHEREAS, the Department does not currently have enough personnel already
qualified for six (6) Driver positions; and
WHEREAS, It is imperative that the positions of Driver be filled in order to make
Station NO.3 operational; and
WHEREAS, both Management and the Union agree that these circumstances are
not covered under the terms of the current collective bargaining agreement between the
parties.
Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Eligibility for promotion to the position of "Driver" shall be possession of
Idaho State Firefighter III certification, and passage of a promotional examination to be
given by Management, which shall consist of a practical skills test, and a written test.
2. The following firefighters will be entitled to fill the open positions of driver if
they pass the promotional examination, consisting of the practical skills and written test
and hold a State of Idaho Firefighter III certification. Those firefighters are:
1. Drew Young
2. Ken Welborn
3. Jason Rae
4. Howard Miller
5. Tim Kelley
6. Mike Gould
3. Management and Union agree to waive the "time in grade" requirements that
exist in the current collective bargaining agreement as those requirements relate to
eligibility to fill the driver positions that will be open as a result of Fire Station NO.3. It
is the intent of this memorandum of understanding to allow the above listed six
individuals to be eligible to fill the driver positions that will be open when Station NO.3
becomes ready for operation if those individuals have: 1) passed the written and
practical skills examination, and 2) attained the required Idaho State Firefighter III
certification notwithstanding that anyone of them may not have spent the required
"time in grade" provisions of the collective bargaining agreement as a Firefighter III,
Firefighter II, or Firefighter 1.
