Sa ' el Kiss ger Villa anager RE: Pay Plan Adjustments November 29, 2000 Village Council directed staff to look into the pay disparity issue that was brought to your attention by the Village Firefighters at the October 24, 2000 meeting and discussed by the Council on November 14, 2000. After a comparison of the surrounding fire depai tiiients' pay plans, I recommend that three additional steps be added to the current pay plan. This projected salary adjustment has a limited impact on the FY 2001 budget. All employees with eight and nine years of service receive a raise this fiscal year (2001) which will cost $60,000. I recommend that those 22 senior employees receive a retro-active increase based on the actual date that they acquired their eight years of service. Otherwise, that group of senior employees would lose salary and benefits if Council were to grant this proposed salary step plan to all employees and not to make it retro- active for this small group. The employees acquiring 8, 9 and 10 years of service are in the following offices/departments: continued on page 2 85 West McIntyre Street • Key Biscayne, Florida 33149 • (305) 365-5514 • Fax (305) 365-8936 MISSION STATEMENT: "TO PROVIDE A SAFE, QUALITY COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL ISLANDERS THROUGH RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT" VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council Page 2 The retro-active Step 8 employees would receive their step increase in their 8th year with this plan. Steps 9 and 10 would be received in the employees 9th and 10th year of service. I am recommending that the current 4% "10 year seniority payment" become a 5% longetivity pay at 15 years of service, and a final 5% longetivity pay at 20 years of service be added to the pay plan. Statistically, this would have a limited financial impact on our operating budget. Our experience on Key Biscayne demonstrates only one in five of our employees will reach 8 years of service. This proposed step increase plan would raise our firefighters, police, and general employees salaries to a level comparable to other local governments. These pay and benefit adjustments and planned new facilities should help to retain valued and highly trained senior employees. Unfortunately, we have lost personnel who have left our employment to take higher paying jobs with better benefits and working conditions in other communities. The cost -of -living adjustment shall be considered annually and need be approved accordingly by the Village Council. The above adjustments do not include the Village Clerk or the Village Manager. An alternative to this annual approval would be to adopt a formula which would automatically determine the cost -of -living adjustment. Please see proposed resolution if the Council wants to consider this method of approving the cost -of -living adjustment. Thank you. continued on page 3 MISSION STATEMENT "TO PROVIDE A SAFE, QUALITY COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL ISLANDERS THROUGH RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT."
