COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
An ordinance amending Ordinance No. 789, The Classified Employees Salary Ordinance Of the City of Miami Beach,
increasing the pay range for lifeguards II And lifeguard lieutenants By 11 Percent and providing for a three percent cost of
living adjustment (COLA) for all classifications covered by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 3178, and
adjusting the minimum and maximum of each pay range accordingly.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Attract and maintain a Workforce of Excellence.
Supporting Data(Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc
If approved, this will be only the second COLA extending the minimum and maximum of the salary ranges in the past six
ears.
Item Summa /Recommendation:
Second Reading Public Hearing
After 15 negotiation sessions, the City and CWA reached a tentative three (3) year labor agreement covering the time period
of October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2015. In this agreement, the City agreed to extend the pay ranges for the
Lifeguard II and Lifeguard Lieutenants by 11 percent, effective October 1, 2012. The agreement was based on the fact that
the same had been done for all other CWA bargaining unit classifications through the 2003-2006 contract and was not done
for the Lifeguards covered by the CWA bargaining unit in the 2009-2012 contract when longevity pay was eliminated. The 11
percent increase extends the range to incorporate what would have otherwise been automatic longevity increases.
The City also agreed to a three percent COLA for all CWA bargaining unit employees effective the first pay period ending in
October 2014, adjusting the minimum and maximum of each pay range accordingly.

CWA Classified Salary Ordinance
Page 2 of 3
In addition, the City has one classified service employee group, Group VI, comprising all
other classifications in the classified service not covered by a bargaining unit. This group
is commonly referred to in the City of Miami Beach as "Others". There is a seventh
salary group comprised of at-will employees commonly referred to as Unclassified.
To provide savings for the City, in the 2003-2006 collective bargaining agreement (CBA)
between the City of Miami Beach and the CWA, the parties eliminated the longevity pay
and the step plan system, and implemented the pay for performance system. The pay
for performance system was applicable to all CWA bargaining unit classifications except
incumbents in the Lifeguard I, Lifeguard II and Lifeguard Lieutenant classifications.
These three classifications remained on the step plan system and eligible incumbents
continued to receive longevity pay.
Pursuant to provisions in the 2003-2006 CBA conversion to the pay for performance
salary ranges resulted in an eleven percent increase to the maximum of the range for all
classifications represented by the CWA bargaining unit, (excluding Lifeguard I, Lifeguard
II and Lifeguard Lieutenants) in order to capture wages employees would have
otherwise earned through longevity. Because the Pool Guard II and the Lifeguard I
classifications share a salary code, an unintended consequence of the conversion at that
time resulted in an increase to the Lifeguard I range.
In 2010, the City and CWA reached an agreement to amend the prior three-year (2006-
2009) collective bargaining agreement. The successor three-year agreement was
approved by CWA bargaining unit members and ratified by the City Commission on
October 27, 2010.
In order to attain the Commission's goal of approximately $15 million in savings from
employee concessions from all salary groups, applicable toward fiscal years 2009/10
and 2010/11, the agreement with CWA contained the following provisions as cost
savings components:
• No cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for the first two and one-half (2 %) years of
the agreement;
• Commencing October 1, 2010, no merit increases for CWA bargaining unit
employees;
• Effective September 30, 2012, provisions related to the emergency medical
technician (EMT) certification (a five percent supplement) and longevity steps for the
Lifeguards I and II and Lifeguard Lieutenants ceased.
This last concession, the sun setting of the EMT certification supplement and longevity
steps without a concurrent extension of the salary ranges, resulted in some incumbents
losing as much as 16 percent of their pay.
A three percent across the board COLA for all CWA bargaining employees was
negotiated, effective with the first full pay period ending in April of 2012 (approximately
six months into FY 2011/12). As called for in the CBA, the minimum and maximum of
each CWA-represented classification pay range was adjusted accordingly.

CWA Classified Salary Ordinance

ANALYSIS
On July 17, 2013, the City Commission ratified the terms and conditions of the 2012-
2015 CBA negotiated between the City of Miami Beach and CWA. Those terms and
conditions had been previously ratified by 84 percent of the CWA membership that
voted.
The negotiated terms call for: (1) increasing the maximum of the range for Lifeguards II
and Lifeguard Lieutenants by 11 percent, effective October 1, 2012; (2) a three percent
across the board COLA, effective the first pay period ending October 2014, providing for
an equal increase to the minimum and maximum of each CWA-represented
classification pay range; (3) increasing the base salaries for Lifeguards I and II and
Lifeguard Lieutenants who were receiving the longevity pay supplement; and (3)
reinstituting the EMT pay supplement effective September 29, 2012, for those
employees and only for those employees adversely affected by the earlier sun setting of
the provision. Consequently, Ordinance No. 789, the Classified Employees Salary
Ordinance of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, needs to be amended accordingly.
The amendment will ensure the City has an employee classification and compensation
system that is reasonable and competitive. Increasing the maximum of the range for the
Lifeguards II and Lifeguard Lieutenant classifications will provide parity with all other
classifications within the bargaining unit, which received the eleven percent increase to
the maximum of their respective classification ranges pursuant to the 2003-2006 CBA.
Increasing the base salaries of Lifeguard I and II and Lieutenants who were receiving the
longevity supplement is estimated to have an impact of $137,000 per year, while the
impact of the EMT supplement is $116,000.
The increase to the maximum of the pay range for the Lifeguard II and Lifeguard
Lieutenant classifications by 11 percent effective October 1, 2012, represents an
estimated cost of$7,000 in FY 2013/14; and $13,000 in FY 2014/15.
The three percent COLA, effective October 1, 2014, represents an impact of
approximately $746,000 to the City's FY 2014/15 operating budget. The estimated
figures do not take into consideration current turnover rates or vacant positions;
however, we anticipate the impact of such to be minimal.
CWA bargaining unit employees who separate from employment with the City prior to
the date of implementation of the COLA, effective the first full pay period ending in
October of 2014, will not be eligible to receive the COLA increase.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends amending Ordinance No. 789, the Classified
Employees Salary Ordinance of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, pursuant to the terms
and conditions of employment for City employees covered by the CWA bargaining unit,
ratified by the City Commission, July 17, 2013.
The A inistration ommends that the City Commission approve the ordinance.
