the following periods between January 1, 2016 — December 31, 2016 and January 1, 2017 —
December 3i, 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-U) Miami/FL Lauderdale area, issued by the U.S. Department of
Labor,Bureau of Labor Statistics.
According to the City Code, the City Commission 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 determines 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 Committee at its May 19, 2017, meeting for indexing the living wage rate.At that
time, representatives ,of the Service Employees inteernational 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. Are any contractor employees at or above any proposed rate and.therefore. not$ilgible for art
Jncrease? 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 the current level of service for any of the contracts to wt
ch
the.Acing wage rate currently applies? Since the City is, in fact, considering reductions in the
Page 501 of 1633
That figure is estimated ai approximateiy$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
Cormiittee's discretion,especially for Option 3.

option consists of Inducing current living wage rates by a 5.62%cumulatively Increase in a°Phase-
1n' 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,approved any annual
adjustment for inflation to the supplemental health care benefits hourly rate,as 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/FL Lauderdale area.
On September 25,2017, after considering the Committee's recorrtnendation during First Reading of
