OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM THF CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
FROM: Steven Alexander
DATE: May 3,2016
SUBJECT: Managers Report
Pull items 5, 6, and 9. Item 10???
The FRS and proposed new pension programs will be presented tonight. We
appreciate the Commission allowing us to wait until the actuary has produced
the necessary evaluations of the two programs.
We have been working for a very long time with the PBA and the two
bargaining units to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The PBA has
discussed a draft agreement with their members and made some final revisions,
which I will present, to you at the next meeting for your approval, prior to final
vote and incorporation into a newly revised and updated CBA.
We have a gas leak or vapor issue that has been detected in the Police
Building. County Fire and DERM have been on site conducting sampling and I
have contacted DERM to expedite the results. At DERMs suggestion we hired
EE&G to take samples.
People enjoying the outdoors at Dante Fascell Park can now also use the new
outdoor fitness zone. The fitness zone features six (6) units-accessible chest
press, 2-person back and arms combo, combo lot pull and vertical press, 3-
person static combo and 4-person leg press-and can accommodate up to
fourteen (14) usersat a time.
The budget process has started so please begin thinking of your budget
priorities. I believe that an increase for staff is in order this year and we will be
discussing that with you at a later date.
We have been in good standing with the Tree City USA group for 5 years and
they have sent us a nice display item in recognition of that.
