— September 30, 2013 ) Agreement Between The Miami -Dade County Police Benevolent

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 9 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 $0.35/ 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 /hour 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.
Article 33 Retirement Benefits
Final average compensation has been revised to mean the participant's annual
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.
Upon ratification of this Agreement, the maximum amount of overtime hours for
pension calculations for anyone fiscal year shall not exceed 300 hours. The day following
the ratification of this Agreement any accumulated time which is eligible for payout upon
separation from employment with the City shall remain eligible for pension calculations
and subject to pension contributions upon payout. Any accumulated time that is eligible

1. In a mutual effort to provide a harmonious working relationship between the parties to
this Agreement, it is agreed and understood that there shall be a procedure for the
resolution of grievances between the parties. For the purpose of their Article, a grievance
is defined as, and limited to, any dispute, difference or controversy involving the
interpretation and application of this Agreement.
2. Every effort will be made by the parties to settle any grievance as expeditiously as
possible.
Should the grieving party fail to observe the time limits as set out in the steps of their
Article, their grievance shall be considered conclusively abandoned. Any grievance not
answered by management within the prescribed time limits shall automatically advance
to the next higher step.
3. Grievances shall be presented in the following manner:
STEP 1: The employee shall first take up their grievance with the Immediate
S n1lerVisor within seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence of the event(s) which gave
rise to the grievance, or within seven (7) calendar days after the employee's return to
work from authorized leave, as the case may be. Their first step (between the employee
and their immediate supervisor) shall be on an informal and oral basis and shall not
involve the Association or any other representative of the employee;
STEP 2: Any grievance which cannot be satisfactorily settled with the Imunediate
Nei-visor shall be reduced to writing by the employee and shall next be taken to the
supervisor above the Immediate Supervisor. Such grievance shall be presented to their
supervisor in writing within seven (7) calendar days of the deadline date for completion
of Step 1. The supervisor shall, within ten (10) calendar days after presentation of the
grievance (or such longer period of time as is mutually agreed upon), render their
decision on the grievance in writing;
STEP 3: Any grievance which cannot be satisfactorily settled with the previous
supervisor shall next be taken up with the Chief of Police, or their designee, either
through a representative of the Association and the employee, or by the employee himself
at the employee's option. The grievance as specified in writing in Step 2 shall be
discussed by and between the employee (or the representative of the Association and the
employee) and the Chief of Police or their designee, within seven (7) calendar days after
the completion of Step 2: The Chief of Police, or their designee, shall within ten (10)
calendar days after their discussion (or such longer period of time as is mutually agreed

working days of the appeal (or some longer period of time as is mutually agreed upon)
render their decision in writing with a copy to the Association.

Chief of Police within ten (10) calendar days of the occurrence of the event(s) which

statement of the grievance to be arbitrated prior to the arbitration hearing, and the
arbitrator, thereafter, shall confine their decision to the particular grievance thus
