(b) Health benefits; eligibility period. For a covered employer or the city to comply with the
living wage requirements of this division by choosing to pay the lower wage scale
available when a covered employer also provides health care benefits, such health
care benefits shall consist of payment of at least$1,69$4,72 220 per hour toward the
provision of a health care benefits plan for covered employees and their dependents
effective January 1, 2018, and thereafter, as provided in subsections 2408(a)(1)-(3).
If the health care benefits plan of a covered employer requires an initial period of
employment for a new employee to be eligible for health care benefits (eligibility
period) the living wage requirements of this division shall be deemed to have been
complied with during the eligibility period, provided the covered employer commences
to pay the applicable living wage rate without health care benefits, effective as of the
date of hire of the covered employee.
Upon completion of the eligibility period, and provided the new employee will be
provided health care benefits, a covered employer may commence to pay the
applicable living wage rate with health care benefits.
Proof of the provision of health care benefits must be submitted to the city's
procurement director to qualify for the wage rate for employees with health care
benefits.
(c) Annual open enrollment/election of benefits. If a covered employee is being paid the
hourly living wage rate with health care benefits and elects, during such period of time
(but no less than once during the covered employer's fiscal year) on which the covered
employer permits its employees an opportunity to change their health benefits plan
coverage (hereinafter such election period shall be referred to as the "annual open
enrollment period") to no longer continue receiving coverage under the employees
health benefits plan, then notwithstanding the covered employer's continuing to offer a
health benefits plan to employees - the covered employee (electing out of coverage
during the annual enrollment period) shall, by the next pay period, be paid the
applicable hourly living wage rate without health care benefits. The covered employer
may, in its reasonable judgment and discretion, determine the length of time for the
annual open enrollment period; may require employees to complete and return a
benefits election form; and, in the event that a covered employee does not complete
and return such election form to the covered employee during the prescribed time of
the annual open enrollment period, then the covered employer may treat the covered
employee as having elected to continue with the health plan benefits coverage (then in
effect) and, accordingly, may continue to pay the covered employee the applicable
hourly living wage rate with health benefits.
(d) Indexing. The living wage rate may, by resolution of the
city commission, be indexed annually for inflation using the Miami PMSA Consumer
Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, issued by the U.S.
Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Commencing iv c'ssi `rs^r ''"Ig
on January 1 242], the supplemental health care benefits rate (the per hour rate
towards health benefits) may. by resolution of the city commission, be separately
indexed annually for inflation using the Miami PMSA Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Consumers (CPI-U)for the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. for medical care only. as
issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Notwithstanding
the preceding, no annual index shall exceed three percent; nor shall an annual
increase exceed the corresponding annual compensation increase (if any) provided to
unrepresented (i.e., unclassified) city employees. The city commission may also, by
resolution, elect not to index the living wage rate in any particular year, if it determines
it would not be fiscally sound to implement same (in a particular year). The
determination to index (or not index) the living wage rate shall be considered annually
during the city commission's review and approval of the city's annual operating budget.
In the event that the city commission has determined, in any particular fiscal year (or
years), to not index the living wage rate, and thereafter determines that making up all
or any part of the prior year's (or years') unindexed percentage would not have an
adverse fiscal impact upon the city, then the city commission shall also have the right,
but not the obligation, to cumulatively index the living wage rate to "make-up" for any
deficiencies in the prior year (or years) where there was (were) no increase(s) (the
"catch up" election). The "catch-up" election must be approved by resolution, and may
only be considered during the city commission's review and approval of the city's
annual operating budget.

ANALYSIS
In the current fiscal year, the minimum hourly ("Living Wage") rate paid to covered employees of
applicable City service contractors is $11.62 per hour, with health benefits of at least$1.69 per hour,
or$13.31 per hour without health benefits. These rates were last indexed by the City Cormission
on September 30, 2014 with an effective date of January 1, 2015. No increases were approved for
Page 500 of 1633
the following periods between January 1, 2016 — December 31, 2016 and January 1, 2017 —
December 31, 2017.
Pursuant to Section 2-408(d) of the City of Miami Beach Code, the living wage rate may, by
resolution of the City Commission, be indexed annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index
for all Urban Consumers (CPI-1J) Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, issued by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
According to the City Code, the City Car-mission may: 1) index the Living Wage rate annually; 2)
index the Living Wage rate cumulatively to "catch up" for any prior year(s)where there was/were no
increase(s); or 3) may elect to forego any increases if it deterrrines it would not be fiscally sound to
do so.
At its April 26, 2017 meeting, the City Commission, pursuant to Agenda Item C4-G, approved a
referral to the Finance and City-Wide Projects Committee (the "Committee") for a discussion on
whether or not to change the current Living Wage hourly rate. The discussion item was originally
presented to the Cormittee at its May 19, 2017, meeting for indexing the living wage rate. At that
time, representatives of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) also presented
recommendations to the Committee that it proposes for both the living wage rates and amendments
to the language and requirements of the Living Wage Ordinance (the "Ordinance"). Following
the discussion of the information presented by both the Administration and SEIU, the Committee
deferred the discussion to its June 30, 2017, meeting and requested staff to meet with the
representatives of SEIU to determine the fiscal impacts of the different rates proposed and to provide
an analysis of the amendments to the City's living wage ordinance proposed by SEIU.
At its June 30, 2017, meeting, the Committee considered the information requested, which included
the proposed living wage rates, each rate's potential fiscal impact as noted in the table below.

On June 30, 2017, the Committee directed staff to consider any circumstances that may reduce the
fiscal impact of the living wage rate options noted above. In carrying out the direction of the
Committee, staff considered two scenarios that may reduce the fiscal impact of any increase:
1. Ne any contractor employees at or above any or000sed rate and. therefore, not eligible for an
increase? In this scenario, only the fiscal impact from reimbursing contractors for those
employees that would actually receive the increase is considered in the Revised Potential
Fiscal Impact.
2. Is the City considering reductions in thesurrent level of service focanv of the contracts to which
the living wage rate currently applies? Since the City is, in fact, considering reductions in the
Page 501 of 1633
current level of service for the contracts noted below in 2a-2c, the fiscal impact of the living
wage rate increase may be reduced by the corresponding reduction in the level of service. The
portion of Revised Potential Fiscal Impact indicated in the table below has been adjusted for
the estimated reduction in the level of service in the following contracts:
a . Security Guards. The Emergency Management Department is currently working
on a plan to reduce a percentage of security guards deployed city wide.
b . Temporary Labor Services. The Sanitation Division of the Public Works
Department has been and is planning to continue to reduce the number of temporary
workers it utilizes because it plans to continue filling the full-time positions already
allocated in its budget.
c . Tennis Management. Pursuant to Resolution 2017-29897 approved by the City
Commission on June 7, 2017, the Parks and Recreation Department is irrplenlenting a
reduction in the level of service for the tennis management contract.
d. Other areas. The impact of any increase can be further mitigated by the reduction
of service in other contracts that may be currently being considered. For example, the
deployment of the gated revenue control system in the City parking garages may result
in a reduction in the number of parking garage attendants required. The same is the
case for the nunter of temporary office personnel contracted through one of the City's
temporary services (clerical and para-professional) contracts. However, the potential
reduction in these areas is not yet known and the Revised Potential Fiscal Impact
indicated in the table below has not been adjusted for any potential future reduction.
Based on the foregoing, the table below provides Revised Potential Fiscal Impacts for the options
being considered by the Committee on July 10, 2017.

employee hourly rates are below the rate in Option 3. These figures do not include any adjustments
that may be required in the hourly rates of employees currently below the rate stipulated in Option 3.
Page 502 of 1633
That figure is estimated at approAmately$150,000.
On June 30, 2017, the Committee also requested options for staggering the implementation of rate
increases to mitigate the impact on any given year. One approach for doing so is a phased-in option
over three (3) years. The tables below shows some potential options for phasing in the rate
increases for Options 2 and 3. A longer phase-in period (e.g., five years) is also an option at the
Committee's discretion, especially for Option 3.

After considering all options, the Committee recommended approval of the Option 2 Phase-in. This
option consists of indebng current living wage rates by a 5.62% cumulatively increase in a "Phase-
In" approach to catch up with inflation from previous years when no living wage increases took
place; and further to require that commencing on fiscal year 2019 and thereafter, any annual
adjustment for inflation to the supplemental health care benefits hourly rate, as approved by the City
Commission, be calculated using the Miami Consumer Price Index exclusively for"medical care" for
all Urban consumers (CPI-U)in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area.
