INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001
The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
Steven Alexander, City Manager
LaTasha Nickle, Human Resources Director
Agenda Item No.: 19 October I I, 2013
Contract between the City of South Miami and Miami-Dade County Police Benevolent
Association (Officers and Sergeants).
A Resolution Approving and Authorizing The City Manager To
Execute An Amendment to the 20 I 0-20 13 Agreement Between The
Miami-Dade County Police Benevolent Association Collective
Bargaining Union (Officers and Sergeants) And The City of South
Miami.
Background: The previously approved Collective Bargaining Agreement for fiscal years 20 I 0 through
2013 between the Miami-Dade County Police Benevolent Association Officers and
Sergeants contained a re-opener clause. The terms of the re-opener specifically
provided as follows:
"No Merit increases will be provided under this Agreement. However,
on July I, 2012 when the City receives Form DR 420 from the Miami-
Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, if the "current gross taxable
value for operating purposes" is greater than the amount of the
previous year's value, negotiations under this Agreement may be re-
opened solely to discuss the possibility of reinstituting Merit
increases for the following fiscal year." (emphasis added)
During the negotiations of the re-opener, the PBA rejected a proposed two percent pay
raise across the board and retroactive to October I, 2012; rejected a proposed five
percent merit raise and waived further discussion concerning the re-instatement of the
merit increases specifically provided for in the Agreement. Instead, the parties
ultimately negotiated and agreed to a five percent across the board increase for all
bargaining unit members.
Wages:

The monetary benefit provided by the Agreement and the associated costs are set forth

The above stated amount of $147,809 will be carried forward into all future fiscal years
beginning with FY 2014, increasing the Police Department's overall personnel cost.
NOTE: The above calculation is an estimate and can change depending on the timing of
certain events, new actuarial impact projections provided by the pension actuary and
any tax changes which occur at the federal level.
The City Manager recommends approving the amended agreement between the Miami-
Dade County Police Benevolent Association (Officers and Sergeants) Collective
Bargaining Union and the City of South Miami to include the negotiated 5% across the
board salary increase for Fiscal Year 2013.
