classifications in the classified service not covered by a bargaining unit. This group is

ANALYSIS
On July 19, 2013, the City Commission ratified a three-year labor agreement with each,
the IAFF and the FOP, covering the period of October 1, 2012 through September 30,
2015. In addition, the Administration will be presenting a separate item before the City
Commission during the September 11, 2013 City Commission meeting, requesting
approval of a resolution to amend the ratified three-year labor agreement between the
City and the FOP for the period of October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015.
Included in both of the IAFF and FOP collective bargaining agreements are two
provisions that require amendments to the Classified Salary Ordinance (Ordinance No.
789).
The first amendment calls for the implementation of a three percent across the board
cost of living adjustment (COLA), effective the first full pay period ending October of
2014, for all bargaining unit employees covered by FOP and IAFF, and providing for an
increase to the minimum and maximum of each pay range correspondingly by three
percent. The three percent (3%) COLA, effective with the first full pay period in October
2014, for members covered by FOP represents an impact of approximately $811,000,
members covered by IAFF represents an impact of approximately $558,000, for a total
estimated impact of $1,369,000 to the City's FY 2014/15 operating budget. The
estimated figures do not take into consideration current turnover rates or vacant
positions; however, the Administration anticipates the impact of such to be minimal.
Any of the aforementioned classified 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.
Pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreements with the FOP and the
IAFF, the City has also agreed, effective April 1, 2015, there shall be one additional pay
step {Step 1), added to the classifications of Police Officer, Sergeant of Police,
Lieutenant of Police and Firefighter I. The newly created pay step (Step 1), effective April
1, 2015, will increase the maximum of the aforementioned classifications by five percent
(5%). The minimum pay range shall remain as is and there shall be no immediate pay
increase for any employees.
For employees whose classification is covered by the FOP whose salary is at the
maximum of the pay range (Step H) as of April 1, 2014, will move into the new step
(Step I) on April 1, 2015, with their anniversary date reflecting April 1, for the sole
purpose of their annual performance review. Thereafter, any employee in the
aforementioned classifications covered by the FOP whose salary is at the maximum step
of the range, (Step H), shall be eligible to proceed to Step I upon reaching his or her next
anniversary date.

The estimated impact for impacted employees covered by the FOP in FY 2014/15 is
$489,882 and the annualized impact for FY 2015/16 is $1,003,162. The implementation
of the additional steps was subject to the FOP agreeing to concessions that would result
in an approximate equivalent, recurring savings in order to offset the estimated
annualized impact $1,003,162. The concessions agreed to by the FOP to offset the
additional pay step added to the maximum of the ranges for the classifications of Police
Officer, Sergeant of Police and Lieutenant of Police include:
• Elimination of State Commission for Florida Law Enforcement (SCFLE)
accreditation pay effective October 1, 2014 for all members. The estimate
savings is ($95,680) in FY 2014/15 and each year thereafter unless the benefit is
renegotiated.
• Reduction of Quality of Life Incentive Pay from $67.00 biweekly to $26.00
biweekly effective October 1, 2014. The estimated annualized savings is
($392,288), in FY 2014/15 and each year thereafter unless the benefit is
renegotiated.
• Reduction of Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies
(CALEA) pay from $40.00 to $20.00 effective September 30, 2015. The
estimated annualized savings is ($191,360) and will be realized in FY 2015/16
and each year thereafter unless the benefit is renegotiated.
• Reduction of Shift Differential Pay by $.25 per hour (Midnight Shift reduced from
$1.00 per hour to $. 75 per hour and Afternoon Shift reduced from $. 75 per hour
to $.50 per hour effective September 30, 2015. The estimated annualized
savings is ($112,994) and will be realized in FY 2015/16 and each year thereafter
unless the benefit is renegotiated.
• Court Time Compensation during an employee's off duty hours reduced from a
four(4) hours minimum to three and one half (3.5) hours minimum effective
September 30, 2015. The estimated annualized savings is ($210,840) and will be
realized in FY 2015/16 and each year thereafter unless the benefit is
renegotiated.
* It is important to note that the above referenced concessions will remain as
status quo upon the expiration of the FOP collective bargaining agreement on
September 30, 2015. Therefore, the City will continue to recognize recurring
savings based on these concessions unless the City and FOP collectively
bargain changes to these concessions in a successor agreement.
Effective April 1, 2015, any Firefighter I whose salary is at the maximum step of the pay
range, (Step H), shall be eligible to proceed to Step I upon reaching his or her
anniversary date following the effective date of this provision. The estimated impact for
the IAFF in FY 2014/15 is $91,000. The annualized impact for FY 2015/16 is
approximately $319,505. The implementation of the additional step was subject to the
IAFF agreeing to recurring concessions that would help to offset the impact of the
additional step. To help offset the increase in the Firefighter I classification salary range,
effective April 1, 2015, holiday pay for all 24-hour personnel shall be reduced from nine
to six hours. The estimated impact for FY 2014/15 will yield a savings of approximately
($62,242), with an estimated annualized savings of ($207,500).
