SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO RATIFY A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE, LODGE #8,
AND TH. INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION or FIREFIOHTERS, LOCAL
1510, AND THE EMERGENCY PASSAGE AND ADOPTION OF THE
ORDINANCES GRANTING THE WAGE INCREASES AS PROVIDED IN THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution to ratify the Settlement Agreement between the
city of Miami Beach, the Fraternal Order of Police, (FOP) Lodge #8,
and the International Association of Firefighters, (IAFF) Local
1510. Further, the Administration recommends emergency adoption of
the ordinances to grant the wage increases to the FOP and IAFF
membership, as provided in the Settlement Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Administration has been negotiating for approximately 18 months
with the FOP and the IAFF regarding a wage increase re-opener that
was due in October 1990, under the current labor agreements for
these two bargaining units.
At a culmination meeting held on May 26, 1996, the decision by the
FOP and IAFF Presidents was to take the Settlement Agreement
proposed by the City to their membership for a vote. The
membership of the FOP and the IAFF rejected the proposed Settlement
Agreement. The attached is a revised Settlement Agreement reached
after continued, intense negotiations.
ANALYSIS:
The revised Settlement Agreement provides for active full-time
bargaining unit employees, a 1.5% lump sum payment, calculated on
base wages earned for the period of 10/01/90 to 09/30/91. For the
lump sum payment, there will be no fringe benefit add-ons.
Further, active, full-time bargaining unit employees will receive
a retroactive 1% across-the-board increase effective as of 10/1/90,
which shall be considered to be an increase to these units t
employees for purposes of base benefit calculations.

FOP/IAFF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
The revised Settlement Agreement also provides bargaining units'
retirees, who retired between 10/1/90 and the ratification of the
Agreement, a one-time, lump sum, non-pensionable, payment of 1.5t
on annual salary only, excluding overtime, etc. for fiscal year
1990/91.
JULY 22, 1992
Also, effective 10/1/90, retired officers will be provided with a
retroactive 1% across-the-board increase in their base pay for all
purposes. These payments shall be pro-rated for the days actually
worked during fiscal years 1990/91 and 1991/92.
Pursuant to the direction of the city Commission, upon ratification
'of the attached Settlement Agreement, the FOP and the IAFF will
commence negotiation. for fi.cal year. 1992/93, 1993/94, and
1994/95.
As reported to you in the Letter to commission No. 140-92, dated
May 28, 1992, the cost and the method of funding for this
Settlement Agreement would be as follows:
The cost estimate for the proposed wage settlement with the FOP and
the IAFF bargaining units is $700,000. This amount includes the
$200,000 cost for the current year, as well as the $500,000 cost
for the prior year. The direction of the city Commission vas to
offset the costs with savings during the current year.
Based on the direction of the city Commission, the Fire Department
will pay its share, $280,000.00, from existing salary savings due
to leaving positions vacant. The Police Department's share,
$420,000.00, has been achieved through reductions in overtime
utilization recently reviewed by the Finance Committee, and keeping
vacant certain management, sworn, and civilian positions, as well
as restrictions on discretionary operating expenditures. These
actions will result in savings this year of approximately $400,000.
The only difference between the previously proposed Settlement
Agreement and the revised Settlement Agreement that was accepted by
the FOP and the IAFF is that the 1% increase to the base rate is
pensionable. Because of the way that the pension is funded, there
is no pension cost this year for the 1%. The Pension Board's
actuary has revised the one-time assumptions for the future, based
on approximately five years experience, which results in a wash for
future years.
CONCLUSION:
The approval of this Settlement Agreement is recommended. It is
the opinion of the city Administration that a negotiated settlement
is preferable over an imposed settlement, which would be the
outcome of the Special Master process.
