A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City Of South Miami, Florida,
Approving and Authorizing The City Manager To Execute A Three Year (October I, 2010
— September 30, 2013 ) Agreement Between The Miami -Dade County Police Benevolent
Association Collective Bargaining Union (Police Officers And Sergeants) And The City Of
South Miami; providing for an effective date.
Request: To approve a three year agreement between the Miami -Dade County Police Benevolent
Association (Police Officers and Sergeants) Collective Bargaining Union and the City of
South Miami.
Background:This agreement covers the Police Officers and Sergeants of the City of South Miami. A
total of (37) officers and (4) sergeants make up the composition of the membership. The
negotiation sessions were very productive and the parties were able to reach an
Agreement on the terms and conditions of a three -year Collective Bargaining Agreement;
effective October I, 2010 through September 30, 2013. The major highlights of the CBA
are set forth below:
Article 8 Shifts:
Clarifications were made to the determination of seniority within rank and
seniority within specialized units. Seniority continues to be a primary factor in the semi-
annual bidding process for shift assignments and days off, among other issues within the
Police Department.
Article 4 Vehicles and Safety Equipment
The City and the Association agreed that Take Home Vehicle usage and
assignment will be governed by the Take Home Vehicle Policy. Each officer assigned a
take home vehicle will be responsible for the cost of scheduled oil changes for the
assigned vehicle as set forth in the Policy.
Article 12 Grievance and Arbitration Procedure
In instances where an employee grievance progresses to the Arbitration stage, the
City and the Association agree that the parties will first attempt to select an arbitrator
from qualified individuals known to the parties. In the event that the parties are unable to
agree, the parties will request a qualified panel from the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service (FMCS). The final selection shall be made by rank ordering the panel
until the arbitrator is decided.
Article 13 Holidays
Employees covered by the Agreement will earn an additional Floating Holiday (For
a total of 2) after the first full year of service. Additionally, covered employees who are
required to work on the City's recognized holidays shall receive an additional eight (8)
hours of pay or compensatory time at time and one -half their straight time rate of pay.
Article 18 Extra Duty Police Employment
All extra -duty assignments shall be governed by the Extra Duty Policy established
by the Chief of Police. Extra Duty compensation is non - pensionable and is not subject to
pension contribution deductions.
Article 20 Hours of Work and Overtime
The parties agree that only hours actually worked shall be counted toward the
number of hours for purposes of calculating overtime. Officers will continue to be
credited with three hours of actual work for call backs or off -duty court appearances.
However, in the event that an officer is required to hold over for any reason within one
hour of his regular shift, he or she shall be compensated for the actual number of hours
worked.
The maximum number of Compensatory Leave a covered employee may accrue is
increased to 240 hours.
Article 28 Compensation
Employees covered by this Agreement shall receive a one (1) time bonus equivalent
to 2% of their base salary in FY 2011 which will not be subject to pension final average
calculation and/or contributions.
Special risk pay is increased to $50 per hour.
Covered employees shall be entitled to shift differential pay as follows: police
officers $0:351 hour (afternoon shift) or $0.50/ hour (midnight shift); sergeants assigned to
uniform patrol $0.45 (afternoon shift) or $0.60 (midnight shift). The shift differential pay
is not tied to base for overtime and pension calculations.
Covered employees shall receive $0.50 1hour incentive pay for assignment to the
following specialized units: Motors, G.I.U., S.I.U., and K -9. This pay is not included in base
pay for pension and overtime calculations.

compensation, average over the last best five (5) years of the participant's career with the
best 5 -years as defined as best 5 -- 26 consecutive pay periods within a participant's career
and such consecutive year periods shall not overlap one another, opposed to the current
language which uses the participants final three years.

grievance (or such longer period of time as is mutually agreed upon), render their
