WHEREAS, The City does not have a program or policy in place that protects employees who report acts of criminal conduct, malfeasance, misfeasance or neglect committed by elected or appointed officials of the City; and WHEREAS, The City wishes to promote an atmosphere of disclosure, confidentiality and protection for those who report acts of criminal conduct, malfeasance or neglect committed by elected or appointed officials of the City; and WHEREAS, The City Commission desire to adopt an Employee Protection Program for Employees that report activities covered under Section 112.3187 of the Florida Statute. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA,FLORIDA: Section 1. The recitals to the preamble herein are incorporated by reference. Section 2.This Chapter shall be known as the Employee Protection Whistle Blower Act. Section 3. Chapter 23 of the Code of Ordinance for the City of Opa-locka,Florida, is hereby created to read as follows: Sec. 23.1-Legislative findings and purpose. Ordinance No. 16-14 The City Commission for the City of Opa-locka, Florida, finds that it is in the best interests of the City to ensure that employees who have knowledge of unlawful activity, misfeasance or malfeasance by the County or independent contractors report such knowledge to the appropriate authorities for investigation and corrective action. In order to encourage employees to report such information without fear of reprisal, it shall be the policy of the City to prohibit adverse action against an employee for disclosing such information to an appropriate official or agency and to award such employees when the information they disclose leads to the City's recovery of public funds. Recognizing that the State of Florida has adopted its own Whistle-blower's Act, Fla. Stat. Sections 112.3187, et. seq. (1993) and that the State Act provides for the adoption of local procedures for administrative enforcement, the Commission intends that this ordinance be interpreted consistently with the State Act,as it may from time to time be amended. Sec. 23.2-Definitions. As used in this division: (1) City shall include all City of Opa-locka, Florida departments, under the City Commission's legislative authority. (2) Manager shall mean the City Manager (3) Employee shall mean a person who performs services for,and under the control and direction of, the City for wages or other remuneration. (4) Independent contractor shall mean a person, other than a federal,state or local government entity, engaged in any business and who enters into a contract with the City. (5) Adverse personnel action shall mean the discharge, suspension, transfer or demotion of any employee or the withholding_of bonuses, the reduction in salary or benefits, or any other adverse action taken against an employee within the terms and conditions of employment by the City. (6) All other words or terms used in this ordinance shall have the same meaning as such words and terms have under the State Whistle-blower's Act. Sec. 23.3-Actions prohibited. (1) The City shall not dismiss, discipline, or take any other adverse personnel action against an employee for disclosing information pursuant to the provisions of this division. (2) The City shall not take any adverse action that affects the rights or interests of an employee in retaliation for the employee's disclosure of information under this division. (3) The provisions of this division shall not be applicable when an employee discloses information known by the employee to be false. Sec. 23.4-Nature of information disclosed. The information disclosed under this division must include: (1) Any violation or suspected violation of any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation committed by an employee or agent of the City or independent contractor which creates and presents a substantial and specific danger to the public's health,safety or welfare;or Page 2 Ordinance No. 16-14 (2) Any act or suspected act of gross mismanagement, malfeasance, misfeasance, gross waste of public funds, or gross neglect of duty committed by an employee or agent of the City or an independent contractor. Sec.23.5- To Whom the information must be disclosed to: Sa) The information disclosed under this division must be disclosed to the City Manager, the City Mayor or such official or officials as the Mayor may designate to receive such information on his behalf or the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust or the Miami-Dade County Commission on Human Rights under section 11(a) of the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances. 1b) To facilitate the disclosure of information under this division, information may be submitted to the Inspector General: 1. through a telephone hotline established by the Office of the Inspector General; 2. by email; 3. by written and signed correspondence; 4. through a website established by the Inspector General;or 5. in person to the Inspector General or the Inspector General's staff. (c) The Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust or Miami-Dade County Commission on Human Right, shall at its discretion, make a determination whether an investigation is necessary with regards to any information that complies with section 23.4, that is disclosed to the City Manager,City Manager's designee,the City Mayor or such official or officials as the Mayor may designate, or to the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust, or to the Miami- Dade County Commission on Human Rights. Sec. 23.6-Employees and persons protected. (1) This division protects employees who disclose information on their own initiative in a written and signed complaint; who are requested to participate in an investigation, hearing, or other inquiry conducted by the City, any state agency or federal government entity having the authority to investigate, police, manage, or otherwise remedy the violation or act; who refuse to participate in any adverse action prohibited by this division; who disclose information to the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust in accordance with the provisions of section 23.5;or who are otherwise protected by the State Whistle-blower's Act. The provisions of this division may not be used by employees while they are under the care, custody, or control of the state or county correctional system, or after their release from the care, custody or control of the state or county correctional system,with respect to circumstances that occurred during any period of incarceration. (2) No remedy or other protection under this division applies to any person who has committed or intentionally participated in committing a violation or suspected violation for which protection under this division is being sought.

Page 3 Ordinance No. 16-14 14) It shall be an affirmative defense to any complaint brought pursuant to this division that the adverse action was predicated upon grounds other than, and would have been taken absent, the employee's exercise of rights protected by this division. Sec. 23.7-Remedies. (1) Any employee protected by this division who has the right to file an appeal of an adverse personnel action under the City's Human Resources Policy or a controlling collective bargaining agreement shall also have the right to have the hearing examiner appointed under that section, if applicable, consider the issue of whether the adverse action was in violation of this division. The hearing examiner shall include in his findings of fact and conclusions a determination of whether the adverse action was in violation of this section and shall recommend an appropriate remedy. (2) Any employee protected by this division who does not have the right to file an appeal under the City's Human Resources Policy or a controlling collective bargaining agreement, may file a written complaint within sixty (60) days after the action prohibited by this division with the Manager. The Manager shall refer the complaint to a panel of impartial persons from whom a hearing examiner shall be selected.The panel shall be comprised of all persons available to serve as a hearing examiner under the City's Human Resources Policy or a controlling collective bargaining agreement. Such hearing examiners may be paid a fee for their services, but shall not be deemed City officials or employees within the purview of Sections Article 1.5 Section 2-9 through 2-13 or otherwise. The hearing examiner shall conduct a hearing after notice to the complainant and the City department, political subdivision or special district involved. The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, if applicable, to hearings under the City's Human Resources Policy or a controlling collective bargaining agreement , except as may be provided herein. Any interested party may procure the attendance of witnesses and the production of records at such hearing in the manner provided by Chapter 2 Article XI Subdivision 3 Section 2-570.46-47 (a-1). All hearings requested pursuant to this paragraph shall be commenced insofar as is practicable within sixty (60) days of the Manager's receipt of the complaint, except that the City Manager shall have the authority to extend such time for reasonable cause. (3) The hearing examiner shall transmit his findings of facts, conclusions of law and any recommendations together with a transcript of all evidence taken before him and all exhibits received by him to the Manager or Manager's designee for a final decision. The Manager or Manager's designee may sustain, reverse or modify the adverse personnel action. In any case in which the hearing examiner finds that the employee filed a frivolous complaint in bad faith, the hearing examiner may recommend and the Manager or Manager's designee may direct the employee to pay the costs of the hearing, including the employer's attorney's fees. (4) Investigation by Miami Dade Commission on Ethics Commission. In addition to the remedies set forth above: (a) Any employee protected under this division who alleges retaliation may, only after exhausting available administrative remedies (i) under the City's Human Resources Policy or a controlling collective bargaining agreement, (ii) this division, or viii,) an applicable collective bargaining agreement, file a written complaint with the Miami-Dade County Ethics Commission and Public Trust alleging a prohibited personnel action, no later than 60 days after a final written decision regarding an alleged prohibited personnel action has been rendered under the administrative or contractual procedures referenced above. The sole purpose of such complaint is to determine whether, in addition to any findings or determination made in any of the above- Page 4 Ordinance No. 16-14 referenced administrative or contractual proceedings, there has been a violation of this division and not to change, rehear or revisit the determination, findings, actions taken or discipline imposed, if any, pursuant to any of the aforementioned administrative or contractual proceedings. (b) Within ten working days after receiving a complaint under this division, the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust shall acknowledge receipt of the complaint and provide copies of the complaint to the employee accused of retaliation and the Department Director of the department in which such employee is employed. (c) Upon the filing of a complaint with the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust under this division,the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust shall: (i) Conduct a preliminary investigation, to the extent necessary,to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that a prohibited personnel action under this division, has occurred. (ii) Within 90 days after receiving the complaint in compliance with subsection (4)(a) herein, provide the accused employee, the Department Director of the department in which the accused employee is employed and the complainant with a copy of a probable cause memorandum and conduct a probable cause hearing before the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust which shall make a determination as to whether there is probable cause to believe retaliation prohibited by this division has occurred.The probable cause memorandum and the final written decision and findings of the administrative or contractual proceedings referenced in subsection (4)(a) herein shall be presumed admissible in any Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust hearing conducted under this division. (iii) Based on its probable cause determination, recommend to the Manager an appropriate course of action. In response to such a recommendation, the Manager shall thereafter be required to make a written determination of the appropriate remedial action, if any, to be taken in accordance with Section 23.8. (d) The time limits regarding the actions to be taken by the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust set forth in subsections (b) and (c) may be extended by the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust for good cause. (5) Any employee or city official found by the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust to have retaliated against another City employee or city official in violation of this division, shall be considered to have committed a violation of the City's Code of Ethics and shall be subject to the penalties set forth in the City's Code of Ethics set forth in section Article 1.5 Section 2-9 through 2-13 of the Code and disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from City employment or removed from the City Commission. Sec. 23.8-Relief. In any case brought under this division in which the City Manager or City Manager's designee finds that the employee has been discharged, disciplined, or subjected to other adverse personnel action in violation of this division,the City Manager or City Manager's designee may: (a) Reinstate the employee to the same position held before the adverse action was commenced or to an equivalent position,or award reasonable front pay as alternative relief, Page 5 Ordinance No. 16-14 (b) Reinstate the employee's fringe benefits and seniority rights,as appropriate,and (c) Compensate the employee, if appropriate, for lost wages, benefits or other lost remuneration caused by the adverse action. Sec. 23.9-Existing rights. This division shall not be construed to diminish the rights, privileges or remedies of any employee under any other law or rule or under any collective bargaining agreement or employment contract; however, the election of remedies provided by Florida Statute Section 447.401 shall also apply to complaints under this division. Sec. 23.10-Retroactive application. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 23.7, employees who have filed complaints of whistle- blowing in state or federal court as of the date this ordinance is enacted shall have the right to file a complaint and receive a hearing in accordance with the terms of this division. Sec. 23.11-Confidentiality of Individuals Disclosing Information. The City Commission intends for the protections of state law to be afforded to any individual who discloses information in compliance with this division to the local officials set forth in this division. The identity of such individuals shall be confidential and exempt from the provisions of the public records laws to the fullest extent permitted by, and in accordance with the law including, but not limited to, the confidentiality requirements and exemptions set forth in sections 119.0713 and 112.3188 of the Florida Statutes.
