Page 322 of 720
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach has the following five (5) classified employee groups that are
represented by bargaining units:
• Group I - Represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees (AFSCME) Local 1554;
• Group II - Represented by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)William Nichols Lodge No. 8;
• Group III - Represented by the International Association of Firefighters (IAF F) Local 1510;
• Group IV - Represented by the Communications Workers of America(CWA) Local 3178; and
• Group V - Represented by the Government Supervisors Association of Florida (GSAF),
OPEIU, Local 100
In addition, the City has one classified 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.
ANALYSIS
The Administration will be presenting a separate item before the City Commission during the
October 31, 2019 City Commission meeting, requesting approval to ratify a three-year labor
agreement between the City of Miami Beach and the Communications Workers of America
(CWA) Local 3178 from the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2021.
The ratified agreement between the City and the CWA mandates the implementation of a one
percent (1%) across the board cost of living adjustment (COLA), effective the first full pay
period ending in October 2018, for all classified employees represented by the CWA, with a
corresponding one percent (1%) increase to the minimum and maximum of each pay range; a
one percent (1%) across the board COLA, effective the first full pay period ending in October
2019, for all classified employees represented by the CWA, with a corresponding one percent
(1%) increase to the minimum and maximum of each pay range; a one percent (1%) across the
board COLA, effective the first full pay period ending in October 2020, for all classified
employees represented by the CWA, with a corresponding one percent (1%) increase to the
minimum and maximum of each pay range; in the event the City's general fund revenues
increase by eleven percent (11%) or more in June 2020, there shall be an across the board
COLA of two percent (2%), effective the first full pay period ending in October 2020, instead of
the one percent (1%) amending Ordinance No. 789, the Classified Employees Salary
Ordinance of the City of Miami Beach, Florida accordingly. The ordinance amendment will
ensure the City has an employee classification and compensation system that is reasonable and
competitive.
Any of the classified employees who separate from employment with the City prior to the date
of implementation of the COLAs,will not be eligible to receive the COLA increases.
The following CWA classifications received an increase in their salary pay grade:
• Lifeguard I from H52 to H54
• Lifeguard I I from H56 to H58
Page 323 of 720
• Lifeguard Lieutenant from H58 to H60
• Parking Enforcement Officer I from H22 to H24
• Parking Dispatchers from H24 to H25
There will be no immediate change in pay for incumbents who will continue to advance through
the range based on merit increases at the time of their normal performance evaluation date.
There will only be a change in their salary ranges
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends amending Ordinance No. 789, the Classified Employees
Salary Ordinance of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, by increasing the salary grade for the
Lifeguard I, Lifeguard II, Lifeguard Lieutenant, Parking Enforcement Officer I, and Parking
Dispatchers classifications effective upon ratification; and approving a one percent COLA,
effective the first full pay period ending in October 2018, October 2019, and October 2020 with
the possibility of a two percent COLA in October 2020, increasing the minimum and maximum
of each CWA bargaining unit classification pay range correspondingly by one percent.
