OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING,
IN CONCEPT, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE

ARE WAITING FOR THEIR YEARLY UNIFORM
ALLOTMENT, AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO
INVESTIGATE THE COST AND FEASIBILITY OF
IMPLEMENTING SUCH SUGGESTION, AND TO REPORT
HIS FINDINGS TO THE CITY COMMISSION.
WHEREAS, the Employee Suggestion Program (the"Program") is one of the City's
five Reward and Recognition programs implemented on June 16, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Program allows employees to share innovative ideas, which may
enhance productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and/or the quality of local
government services; and
WHEREAS, at the end of each fiscal year, prizes are awarded based on a
recommendation from the Program's Procedure team, including intangible
recommendations; and
WHEREAS, one award of$1,000 is awarded to an employee for the suggestion of
the year resulting in cost savings/revenues for the City, and up to three other awards are
given to the runners-up at $500 each; and
WHEREAS, for Fiscal Year 2019, a suggestion to allow the collection and storage
of uniforms relinquished by inactive employees so that they are available to active
employees for use as they are waiting for their yearly uniform allotment was selected for
an award of$500 and possible implementation; and
WHEREAS, currently, the protocol is that once an employee separates from the
City, the City logo is cut and removed, and the shirt uniform is then discarded; and
WHEREAS, recycling these shirts is a potential benefit, as it may serve as
alternative clothing for current team members who are waiting for their yearly uniform
allowance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby approve, in concept, the recommendation from the Employee
Suggestion Program to allow the collection and storage of uniforms relinquished by
inactive employees to be available to active employees for use as they are waiting for
their yearly uniform allotment, and direct the City Manager to investigate the costs and
feasibility of implementing such suggestion, and to report his findings to the City
Commission.
