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:

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.
