CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor and - JAN 4 1999 TO : DATE: FILE Members of the City Commission SUBJECT: GESE Pension Ordinance Amendments FROM: tooTd �H. Warshaw REFERENCES: City Manager ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached emergency ordinance amending Article IV of Chapter 40, entitled "Pension and Retirement Plans, Division 3. City of Miami General Employees' and Sanitation Employees' Retirement Trust." BACKGROUND The emergency ordinance incorporates into the City's Pension Ordinance the terms and conditions set forth in the December 28, 1998, Second Amended Final Judgment granted by Judge Steve Levine in the case styled Gates, et al. v. City of Miami and certain changes negotiated by and between the City of Miami and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 1907 and the City Independent Group Union (CIGU). The City Commission has previously ratified the provisions of the emergency ordinance in separate resolutions. As the basis of the Second Amended Final Judgment, the City Commission ratified the May 17, 1998, Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Miami and the AFSCME and the CIGU on June 9, 1998, as Resolution 98-563. The City Commission also ratified both the AFSCME and CIGU labor agreements containing relevant pension -related articles on June 9, 1998, as Resolutions 98-564 and 98-565 respectively. An amending ordinance is now necessary to immediately effect the pension -related provisions of both the Second Amended Final Judgment and the labor contracts. The immediate impact to the City from provisions of the Second Amended Final Judgment is the elimination of a $144.7 million dollar liability and a savings of $12.7 million dollars in the City's FY '99 pension costs. In addition, eligible retirees will receive an increase in their cost -of -living (COLA) benefits. NATURE OF EMERGENCY The emergency ordinance is now necessary to immediately reduce the City's pension liabilities and costs, to immediately effect the benefit provisions for those general and sanitation employees desirous of immediate retirement, and to immediately increase cost - of -living benefits for retirees.
