R5N-GSAF Classified Salary Ordinance -Weithorn-COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
An ordinance amending Ordinance No. 789, the classified employees' salary ordinance of the City of Miami Beach, Florida,
providing the Government Supervisors Association of Florida, OPEIU, Local1 00 (GSAF) bargaining unit members with a three
percent across the board cost-of-living adjustment (COLA); further providing for an increase to the minimum and maximum of
each GSAF pay range correspondingly by three percent.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Attract and maintain a Workforce of Excellence
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.)
In the past six years, there have only been two COLAs extending the minimum and maximum of the salary ranges.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
After seven negotiation sessions, the City and GSAF reached a tentative three year labor agreement covering the time period of
October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2015. Based on the terms negotiated between the City and GSAF for the 2012-2015
collective bargaining agreement, the administration recommends amending Ordinance No. 789, the classified employees' salary
ordinance, by approving a three percent COLA for all GSAF bargaining unit members, effective the first pay period ending October
of 2014; as well as increasing the minimum and maximum of each GSAF bargaining unit classification pay range correspondingly
by three percent. The proposed three percent COLA, effective the first pay period ending October of 2014, does not represent a
cost to the City's FY 2013/14 operating budget.
The ordinance amendment will ensure the City has an employee classification and compensation system that is reasonable and
competitive, both internally and externally. Keeping with the spirit of treating all City of Miami Beach employees equitably, the
proposed COLA is commensurate with that of the FOP, IAFF, CWA and "Others", thereby providing parity between the classified
employee groups.
Based on the foregoing, the Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the proposed ordinance on first reading
and set the ordinance for second reading and public hearing on December 11, 2013.

budget is approximately $114,261 per year, for a total five year cost, starting in FY 2013/14, of $457,044. The estimated figures
do not take into consideration current turnover rates or vacant positions; however, we anticipate the impact of such to be minimal.

GSAF Classified Salary Ordinance First Reading
Page 2 of 3
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 referred to as Unclassified.
In 2010, the City and GSAF reached an agreement to amend the prior three-year (2006-
2009) collective bargaining agreement. The successor three-year agreement was
approved by GSAF bargaining unit members and ratified by the City Commission on July
14, 2010.
In order to attain the Commission's goal of approximately $15 million in savings from
employee concessions from all salary groups applicable toward FY 2009/10 and FY
2010/11, the agreement with GSAF contained no cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs} for
the first two and one-half years of the agreement, as well as substantial pension
changes.
An across the board COLA of three percent for all GSAF bargaining unit employees was
negotiated, effective with the first pay period ending in April of 2012 {approximately six
months into FY 2011/12). Accordingly, as stipulated in the collective bargaining
agreement, the minimum and maximum of each corresponding GSAF pay range was
raised concurrently.
ANALYSIS
Based on the terms negotiated between the City and GSAF for the 2012-2015 collective
bargaining agreement, the Administration recommends implementing a three percent
across-the-board COLA, effective the first pay period ending October of 2014, for all
GSAF bargaining unit employees, providing for an increase to the minimum and
maximum of each GSAF pay range correspondingly by three percent; thereby 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.
The proposed three percent COLA, effective the first pay period ending October of 2014,
does not represent a cost to the City's FY 2013/14 operating budget. The cost to the FY
2014/15 operating budget and thereafter per year is approximately $114,261. The
estimated figures do not take into consideration current turnover rates or vacant
positions; however, we anticipate the impact of such to be minimal.
GSAF bargaining unit 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.
With this recommended COLA, over the six years from FY 2009/10 through FY 2014/15,
there will be two COLAs extending the minimum and maximum of the salary ranges.
