ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Ordinance on second reading and public hearing for the Commission meeting of January 12, 2005. ANALYSIS Pursuant to a referred request by Commissioner Luis R. Garcia Jr., to establish a leave donation program to benefit dependents of deceased employees, a variety of alternatives were discussed at the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee of September 15, 2004. At the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting of September 15, 2004, the Committee requested the Administration to work with Commissioner Luis R. Garcia, Jr. in developing a method by which employees could donate annual leave/sick time to the dependant beneficiary of an employee that had died. The committee requested that any donation made by an employee be deducted from their leave balance available to be paid when they leave employment with the City. Additionally, the following are some of the stipulations that were added as a result of the Administrations meeting with Commissioner Luis R. Garcia, Jr.: . Donating employees must have at least 5 years of service with the City of Miami Beach; . The donating employee must maintain a balance of at least 260 combined hours of leave; . The donated time will be computed at the donors current rate of pay in effect at the time of the donation; . The donating employee will be required to sign an agreement that this donated time will reduce the number of hours available for payment of their final leave settlement. The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee approved the amended language at their meeting of November 23, 2004 and asked that the Ordinance be brought to the Commission for approval. CONCLUSION The City Administration recommends that the Commission adopt the Unclassi~d Leave Ordinance amendments stated above.
