Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. In June 2025, a tentative Coalition Labor Agreement ("CLA") was reached. The 2025 CLA further builds upon the efficiencies originally established in the 2018 Master Labor Agreement and the subsequent 2021 CLA by standardizing additional common benefits and practices for employees.
2. Standardization between the 2025 CLA and the King County Code furthers those achievements and supports the county government operating more efficiently and effectively.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Ordinance 12014, Section 19, as amended, and K.C.C. 3.12.190 are each hereby amended to read as follows:
A. Employees eligible for comprehensive leave benefits shall accrue vacation leave benefits as described in and further qualified by this section. Elected officials are not employees and are therefore not entitled to vacation leave benefits.
