Ratification of Labor Agreement
Between the City of Miami and
the Fraternal Order of Police
On Friday, October 30, 1981, the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge
No. 20, held a ratification vote on the above -captioned labor'
agreement.
I have been advised by the official representatives of the
Fratneral Order of Police, Lodge No. 20, that their membership has
formally ratified and approved the labor agreement.
I am respectully requesting you to schedule the City Commission's
agenda to include ratification by the City Commission on or about
its regular meeting on November 12, 1981.
Since some of the conditions of the Contract are predicated upon
the formal ratification of the Contract, it is now incumbent upon
us to initiate ratification by the City Commission so as not to be
dilatory in implementing the Contract.
I have already sent the original Contract to the Law Department for
approval as to form and I should be receiving it back any day now
for distribution to the City Commission.

The bargaining unit consists of all sworn employees hold-
ing positions in the classifications shown in Appendix D or which

person or persons designated in writing to the Employee organi-
zation by the City Manager. The City Manager, or his designated
representative, shall have sole authority to conclude an agree-
ment on behalf of the City subject to ratification by an official
resolution of the City Commission. It is understood that the
designated representatives of the City are the official repre-
sentatives for the purpose of negotiating an agreement. Any ne-
gotiations entered into with persons other than those defined
herein, regardless of their position or association with the
City, shall be deemed unauthorized and shall have no standing or
weight of authority in committing or in any way obligating the
City. It shall be the obligation of the City Manager or his
designated representative to notify the Employee Organization in
writing of any changes in designation of the City's representa-
tive for the purposes of negotiations.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATION OF THE EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATION
The Employee Organization shall be represented by the
President or Chairman of the Employee Organization or by person
or persons designated in writing to the City Manager by the
President or Chairman of the Employee Organization. The identi-
fication of representatives shall be made each year by April 1st.
Such designation shall be accompanied by an affidavit executed by
said President or Chairman that the Employee Organization has
complied with all requirements of State Law in effect at that
time with respect to registration of the Employee Organization.
The President or Chairman of the Employee Organization, or person
or persons designated by said President, shall have full author-
ity to conclude an agreement on behalf of the Employee Organiza-
tion, subject to ratification by a majority vote of those bar-
gaining unit employees voting on the question of ratification.
It is understood that the Employee Organization representative or
representatives are the official representatives of the Employee
-2-
Organization for the purpose of negotiating with the City. Any
negotiations entered into with persons other than those defined
herein, regardless of their position or association with the Em-
ployee Organization, shall be deemed unauthorized and shall have
no standing or weight of authority in committing or in any way
obligating the Employee Organization. The Employee Organization
shall notify the City Manager in writing of any changes in the
designation of the President or Chairman of the Employee Organi-
zation or of any certified representative of the Employee Orga-
nization. Up to three (3) designated representatives of the Em-
ployee Organization shall be permitted to attend the negotiation
sessions on duty with no loss of pay or emoluments.
ARTICLE IV
MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
The Employee Organization agrees that the City has and
will continue to retain, whether exercised or not, the right to
operate and manage its affairs in all respects; and the powers or
authority which the City has not officially abridged, delegated
or modified by the express provisions of this Agreement are re-
tained by the City. The rights of the City, through its manage-
ment officials, shall include, but shall not be limited to, the
right to determine the organization of City Government; to de-
termine the purpose of each of its constituent departments; to
exercise control and discretion over the organization and effi-
ciency of operations of the City; to set standards for service to
be offered to the public; to direct the employees of the City,
including the right to assign work and overtime; to hire, exam-
ine, classify, promote, train, transfer, assign, and schedule
employees in positions with the City; to suspend, demote, dis-
charge, or take other disciplinary action against employees for
proper cause; to increase, reduce, change, modify or alter the
composition and size of the work force, including the right to
relieve employees from duties because of lack of work or funds;
to determine the location, methods, means, and personnel by which
operations are to be conducted, including the right to determine
whether goods or services are to be made or purchased; to estab-
-3-
lish, modify, combine or abolish job pay positions; to change or
i
eliminate existing methods of operation, equipment or facilities;
and to establish, implement and maintain an effective internal
security program.
The City has the sole authority to determine the purpose
and mission of the City, to prepare and submit budgets to be
adopted by the City Commission.
The City shall enforce and comply with the provisions of
the Agreement so as not to violate the City Charter or the Civil
Service Rules and Regulations (Ordinance 6945 as amended).
Those inherent managerial functions, prerogatives and
policymaking rights which the City has not expressly modified or
restricted by a specific provision of this Agreement are not in
any way, directly or indirectly, subject to the Grievance Proce-
dure contained herein.
Delivery of municipal services in the most efficient, ef-
fective and courteous manner is of paramount importance to the
City of Miami. Such achievement is recognized to be a mutual
obligation of both parties within their respective roles and
responsibilities.
ARTICLE V
NO STRIKE -
"Strike" means the concerted failure to report for duty,
the concerted absence of employees from their positions, the
concerted stoppage of work, the concerted submission of resigna-
tions, the concerted abstinence in whole or in part by any group
of employees from the full and faithful performance of their du-
ties of employment with the City, participation in a deliberate
and concerted course of conduct which adversely af::^ts the ser-
vices of the City, picketing or demonstrating in furtherance of a
work stoppage, either during the term of or after the expiration
of a collective bargaining agreement.
Neither the Employee Organization, nor any of its offi-
cers, agents and members, nor any employee organization members,
covered by this Agreement, will instigate, promote, sponsor, en-
gage in, or condone any strike, sympathy strike, slowdown,
-g ►81-937
sick-out, concerted stoppage of work, illegal picketing, or any
other interruption of the operations of the City.
Each employee who holds a position with the Employee Or-
ganization occupies a position of special trust and responsibil-
ity in maintaining and bringing about compliance with this Arti-
cle and the strike prohibition in F.S. 447.505 and the Constitu-
tion of the State of Florida, Article I, Section 6. Accordingly,
the Employee Organization, its officers, stewards and other rep-
resentatives agree that it is their continuing obligation and
responsibility to maintain compliance with this Article and the
law, including their responsibility to abide by the provisions of
this Article and the law by remaining at work during any inter-
ruption which may be initiated by others; and their responsibil-
ity, in event of breach of this Article or the law by other em-
ployees and upon the request of the City, to encourage and direct
employees violating this Article or the law to return to work,
and to disavow the strike publicly.
Any or all employees who violate any provisions of the law
prohibiting strikes or of this Article may be dismissed or
otherwise disciplined by the City, and any such action by the _
City shall not be grievable or arbitrable under the provisions of
Article VI - Grievance Procedure.
ARTICLE VI
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
1. In a mutual effort to provide harmonious working relations
between the parties of this Agreement, it is agreed to and un-
derstood by both parties that there shall be a procedure for the
resolution of grievances or misunderstandings between the parties
arising from the application or interpretation of this Agreen►rnt.
2. A grievance is any dispute, controversy or difference be-
tween (a) the parties, (b), the City and an employee or employees
on any issues with respect to, on account of or concerning the
meaning, interpretation or application of this Agreement or any ,
terms or provisions thereof.
A grievance shall refer to the specific provision or pr�-
visions of this Agreement alleged to have been violated. Any
171
grievance not conforming to the provisions of this paragraph
shall be denied.
3. Nothing in this Article or elsewhere in this Agreement
shall be construed to permit the Employee Organization to process
a grievance (a) in behalf of any employee without his consent, or
(b) with respect to any matter which is the subject of a griev-
ance, appeal, administrative action before a governmental board
or agency, or court proceeding, brought by an individual employee
or group of employees, or by the Employee Organization.
It is further agreed by the Employee Organization that
employees covered by this Agreement shall make an exclusive
election of remedy prior to filing a 2nd step grievance or ini-
tiating action for redress in any other forum. Such choice of
remedy will be made in writing on the form to be supplied by the
City. The election of remedy form will indicate whether the
aggrieved party or parties wish to utilize the Grievance Proce-
dure contained in this Agreement or process the grievance, appeal
or administrative action before a governmental board, agency or
court proceeding. Selection of redress other than through the
Grievance Procedure contained herein shall preclude the aggrieved
party or parties from utilizing said Grievance Procedure for ad-
justment of said grievance.
4. To simplify the Grievance Procedure, the number of
"working days" in presenting a grievance and receiving a reply
from the different levels of supervision shall be based upon a
forty (40) hour, five (5) day work week, Monday through Friday.
Any grievance not processed in accordance with the time
limits provided above or not supplemented by a completed and
signed Election of Remedy form shall be considered conclusively
abandoned. Any grievance not answered by management within the
time limits provided will automatically advance to the next
higher step of the Grievance Procedure.
Where a grievance is general in nature in that it applies
to a number of employees having the same issue to be decided, or
if the grievance is directly between the Fraternal Order of Po-
lice Lodge and the City, it shall be presented directly at Step 4
-6-
81 4 937
of the Grievance Procedure, within the time limits provided for
the submission of a grievance in Step 1, and signed by the
aggrieved employees or the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge rep-
resentative on their behalf. The Election of Remedy form as
provided in Section 3 of this Article must be completed and at-
tached to grievances presented directly at Step 4. All
grievances must be processed within the time limits herein pro-
vided unless extended by mutual agreement in writing.
5. Grievances shall be processed in accordance with the fol-
lowing procedure:
Step 1.
Step 2.
The aggrieved employee shall discuss the grievance with
his immediate supervisor within five (5) working days of
the occurrence which gave rise to the grievance. The Em-
ployee Organization representative may be present to rep-
resent the employee if the employee desires him present.
The immediate supervisor shall attempt to adjust the mat-
ter and/or respond to the employee within five (5) working
days.
If the grievance has not been satisfactorily resolved, the
employee or the Employee Organization representative shall
complete the Election of Remedy form provided for in Sec-
tion three (3) of this Article before initiating the
grievance to the second step of the Grievance Procedure.
If the aggrieved party or parties elect the remedy other
than the Grievance Procedure contained herein, the griev-
ance shall be withdrawn for redress consistent with the
Election of Remedy form.
When the Election of Remedy form indicates the grievance
is to be advanced through the Grievance Procedure, the
employee or the Employee Organization representative shall
reduce the grievance to writing on the standard form pro-
vided for this purpose and present such written grievance
to the Section Head concerned within three (3) working
days from the time the response was given at Step 1. The
-7- ' 81 - 937
i
Section [lead concerned shall meet with the employee and/or
the Employee Organization representative and shall respond
in writing to the employee and the Employee Organization
within five (5) working days from receipt of the written
grievance.
Step 3.
_ If the grievance has not been satisfactorily resolved in
Step 4.
Step 2, the employee or the Employee Organization may
present a written appeal to the Department Head within
seven (7) working days from the time the response was
given at Step 2. The Department Head or his designee
shall meet with the employee and/or the Employee Organi-
zation representative and shall respond in writing to the
employee and the Employee Organization within seven (7)
working days from receipt of the appeal.
If the grievance has not been satisfactorily resolved in
Step 3, the employee or the Employee Organization may
present a written appeal to the City Manager within seven -
(7) working days from the time the response was given at
Step 3. The City Manager and/or his designee shall meet
with the employee and/or the Employee Organization repre-
sentative and he shall respond in writing to the employee
and the Employee Organization within ten (10) working days
from the receipt of appeal. Grievances involving work-
men's compensation shall be excluded from this Grievance
Procedure and shall be processed as stipulated in Article
IX entitled "Line of Duty Injuries."
Step 5.
1. If the grievance is not settled in Step 4, it may upon
written request of either the Employee, Employee Organi-
zation or the City within seven (7) working days after
receipt of reply or answer be referred to arbitration by
the Umpire.
2. The arbitration shall be conducted under the rules set
forth in this Agreement and not under the rules of the
- B -
American Arbitration Association. Subject to the follow-
ing, the Umpire shall have jurisdiction and authority to
decide a grievance as defined in this Agreement. The
Umpire shall have no authority to change, amend, add to,
subtract from, or otherwise alter or supplement this
Agreement or any part thereof or any amendment hereto.
The Umpire shall have no authority to consider or rule
upon any matter which is stated in this Agreement not to
be subject to arbitration or which is not a grievance as
defined in this Agreement, or which is not covered by this
Agreement; nor shall this Collective Bargaining Agreement
be construed by the Umpire to supersede any applicable
laws.
3. It is contemplated that the City and the Employee Organi-
zation or employee shall mutually agree in writing as to
the statement of the matter to be arbitrated prior to a
hearing; and if this is done, the Umpire shall confine his
decision to the particular matter thus specified.
4. Each party shall bear the expense of its own witnesses and
of its own representatives. The parties shall bear
equally the expense of the impartial Umpire, including any
retainer fee of the Umpire. The party desiring a tran-
script of the hearing will bear the cost of same.
5. Copies of the award of the arbitration made in accordance
with the jurisdiction or authority under this Agreement
shall be furnished to both parties within thirty (30) days
of the hearing and shall be final and binding on the
aggrieved employee or e;rloyees, the Employee Organization
and the City.
6. The Umpire shall be selected by agreement of the parties
on or before January 1, 1982. In the event the parties
cannot agree upon an Umpire by that date, the Florida
Public Employee Relations Commission shall be requested to
nominate five (5) persons for such position. Each party
may reject such list in its entirety. If a list is not so
rejected, names shall be stricken alternately by the em-
_ 9 - 9 2 7
ployee or Employee Organization striking a name first,
then the City striking a name, and the remaining person
shall be the Umpire, who shall be subject to reappointment
annually.
ARTICLE VII
RULES OF CONSTRUCTION
It is agreed and understood that this Agreement consti-
tutes the whole Agreement between the parties.
Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Col-
lective Bargaining Agreement, it is expressly agreed that this
Collective Bargaining Contract shall not, in any of its parts, be
construed by any arbitrator or court in any way which supersedes
or pre-empts applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, Civil Service
rules and regulations, or the City of Miami Charter. In any
grievance arising under the Collective Bargaining Agreement the
arbitrator, in rendering his award, shall be bound by and shall
apply the foregoing standard contained in this paragraph.
ARTICLE VIII
DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE
Where an investigation is initiated by the City of Miami
Police Department against an employee where a formal statement
under oath is elicited from the employee, the interrogation shall
be conducted under the following conditions:
(a) The interrogation shall be conducted at a reasonable hour,
preferably while the employee is on duty, unless the se-
riousness of the investigation is of such degree that an
immediate action is required. If the employee is off duty
at the time of the interrogation, the employee shall be
entitled to overtime. However, if he or she is eventually
found guilty of the charges through the applicable Admin-
istrative processes, any overtime gained shall be for-
feited in addition to any penalty imposed for the viola-
tion. If it occurs while on duty, a commanding officer,
or a supervisor of the employee, shall be notified of the
interrogation.
(b) If the interrogation is conducted by or for the Depart-
ment, it shall take place in the Miami Police Department
building. If the interrogation is to be conducted by or
for another investigating agency, it shall be conducted at
either the investigative agency's office or at the Miami
Police Station.
(c) The employee shall be informed of the rank, name and com-
mand of the officer in charge of the investigation, the
interrogating party and all persons present during the
interrogation. All questions directed at the employee
shall be asked by and through one interrogator at any one
time.
(d) The employee shall be informed of the nature of the in-
vestigation prior to any interrogation, anri given the
names of all known complainants.
(e) Interrogations shall be for reasonable periods and shall
be timed to allow for such personal necessities and rest
periods as are reasonably necessary.
(f) The employee shall not be subjected to abusive or offen-
sive language or threatened with transfer, dismissal or
other disciplinary actions. No promise, reward or threat
of action shall be made as an inducement to answering any
question.
(g) The complete interrogation including when recesses are
taken shall be recorded, and there shall be no unrecorded
questions or statements.
(h) The employee shall not be obligated into giving a second
statement concerning the same facts elicited in an origi-
nal interrogation. This will not preclude an investigator
from asking questions at a later time that were not cov-
ered by the first statement.
(i) No mechanical device including, but not limited to, poly-
graph, psychological stress evaluator, et. al., shall be
forced onto an employee nor shall disciplinary action be
taken against an employee who refuses to submit to such
testing.
-11- a I 9 8
41
(j) If the employee is under arrest, or is likely to be
arrested as a result of the interrogation, he shall be
fully informed of his or her legal rights prior to any
interrogation.
(k) At the request of the employee, he or she shall have the
right to be represented by counsel or any other represen-
tative of his or her choice during the entire
interrogation.
(1) Where an attorney or employee representative is requested
but cannot be present within one (1) hour of notification,
the employee shall be required to obtain another employee
representative or counsel. When an employee representa-
tive or counsel is present, he or she may advise the em-
ployee as to the employee's right under applicable _ules,
regulations and the current Labor Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
LINE OF DUTY INJURIES
The City agrees to pay all medical and hospitalization
expenses incurred by an employee covered by this Agreement who is
found to have sustained a compensable line of duty injury as
provided for by the Workmen's Compensation Laws of the State of
Florida.
The City agrees that any employee covered under this con-
tract who is disabled as a result of an accident, injury or ill-
ness incurred in the line of duty shall be granted supplementary
salary of which a part thereof is Workmen's Compensation as pro-
vided by Resolution No. 39802, subject to the following:
If an accident has been declared compensable by the City and
the employee brings litigation without having first discussed
with the personnel of the City of Miami Office of Risk Man-
agement concerning any controversy arising out of the declared
compensable accident, then the supplementary salary, as pro-
vided by Resolution No. 39802, shall cease.
In the event that litigation is filed by an employee fol-
lowing his return to work without having first discussed with
personnel of the City of Miami Office of Risk Management con-
-12- R 87 - 937
cerning any controversy arising out of his declared compensable
accident, it is agreed between the parties that the previously
described supplementary salary shall be recouped from the em-
ployee's current salary by way of payroll deduction, the extent
of subsequent payroll deductions shall not exceed 10% of the
gross pay per pay period. If the Office of Risk Management does
not resolve any controversy arising out of a compensable injury
to the satisfaction of the injured employee, then the supplemen-
tary salary as provided by Resolution No. 39802 shall not be
jeopardized if litigation is subsequently filed by the employee.
In the event an employee desires the presence of an at-
torney to discuss a controversy with representatives of the Of-
fice of Risk Management, the parties agree that the attorney
shall receive a token fee for his presence of $75.00 per hour,
not to exceed $150.00.
In recognition of the Employee organization's cooperation
to eliminate unnecessary litigation as set forth in this Article
and with the expectation of the effective reduction of said
litigation, the parties agree that where a sworn police officer
has been approved by the Civil Service Board to reside outside
the jurisdictional limits of the City of Miami and the said of-
ficer is injured going to or coming from work within a reasonable
period of time from the commencement or termination of his tour
of duty on a reasonably direct route of travel, said accident may
be considered as occurring in the line of duty per Resolution
No. 39802. This provision is not applicable if the officer is
charged with reckless driving and/or driving under the influence
in violation of the provisions of Chapter 316 of the Florida
Statutes entitled "State Uniform Traffic Control."
ARTICLE X
NOTICES
The City agrees to provide in a timely fashion to the Em-
ployee Organization President or designee the following notices
or bulletins: City Commission Agenda, Civil Service Board Agenda,
Retirement Board Agenda, Affirmative Action Notices, Budget
Workshop Materials, or any other material which the City Manager

ganization.

ployee Organization, or may be picked up at the Labor Relations
Office during normal working hours. The Labor Relations Officer
will use the resources of the City to comply with this Article.
ARTICLE XI

zation a bulletin board at each City building in which the Em-
ployee Organization has members working. Such bulletin board
shall be shared by the Employee Organization with other employee
organizations having similar bulletin board privileges pursuant
to an agreement with the City. Any notice or item placed on the
bulletin board shall bear on its face the legible designation of
the person responsible for placing such notice or item on the
bulletin board. Notices placed on a bulletin board shall be
limited to announcement of employee organization meetings, elec-
tions, and social or recreational events.
ARTICLE XII
PERSONNEL PRACTICES COMMI`.rTEE

lice on matters of discipline. Any decisions by the Departmental
Disciplinary Review Board or any policies established by the De-
partmental Disciplinary Review Board are not arbitrable under

plinary Review Board does not possess adjudicatory or quasi-

to the final determination of a monetary fine, forfeiture of time
and/or suspension in excess of one tour of duty, demotion or
dismissal shall, upon written request of the accused, if submit-
ted within ten (10) calendar days, be afforded a review of the
recommended action by a board composed of five (5) members of the

written disciplinary actions that result in loss of time
up to one (1) tour of duty may be reviewed by the Chairman of the
Departmental Disciplinary Review Board if the disciplined em-
ployee requests a review within ten (10) calendar days of the
incident that gave rise to the disciplinary action. 7.1pon receipt
of the Chairman's decision, the disciplined employee upon appeal
within ten (10) calendar days shall be afforded a Departmental
Disciplinary Review Board Hearing.
Since the Departmental Disciplinary Review is at the re-
quest of, and for the benefit of, the employee, no paid overtime
or compensatory time will be given for attendance before the
Board; however, a change of work hours shall be scheduled, if
possible, so that the employee will be working during the hours
that the Board is convened.
It is agreed that the convening of the Departmental Dis-
ciplinary Review Board shall be effectuated as expeditiously as
possible following the written request of the accused employee.
Should the accused employee request to continue a hearing or de-
lay its convening, then it is agreed that the employee waives his
emoluments in exchange for the continuance of the hearing.
Administrative actions taken that result in the employee
being carried "W" or "WW" shall not be subject to the review of
the Department Disciplinary Review Board.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
LODGE SPONSORED INSURANCE PROGRAMS
a This is to confirm our understanding that at the earliest
practical time, the City shall make available to the Lodge mem-
bers a payroll deduction to purchase Lodge sponsored insurance
programs.
Upon receipt of appropriate authorization from employees,
the City will make the designated deductions and forward monies
to the Lodge. The City shall deduct from that remittance an
amount for the cost of these deductions. The amount will be
calculated at two cents for each employee deduction, each payroll
period, and ten cents for each addition, deletion, or modifica-
tion to the individual deduction.
The Lodge shall indemnify and hold the City, its officers,
officials, agents and employees harmless against any claim, Cie-
mand, suit or liability and for all legal costs arising from any
action taken or not taken by the City, its officials, agents and
employees in executing this activity.
The Labor Relations Office will advise the Lodge of the
deduction procedures that will be followed in the implementation
and administration of this activity.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
PENSION PLAN
The parties agree that a Committee of eight (8): two (2)
representatives of the Police Lodge, two (2) representatives of
the Fire Union and four (4) representatives of the City will meet
to review certain areas of the Pension Plan. Since the question
of Pension negotiability is currently under litigation, the par-
ties recognize the Florida Supreme Court may limit or eliminate
negotiation of Pension questions, thereby restricting or elimi-
nating the Committee's recommendations.
In the interim, the Committee will examine the normal re-
tirement age, disability retirements, and survivor benefits. It
is understood by the parties that any improvements to the Plan
j will be funded by increased employee contribution and/or savings
realized by modifications of the Plan.
The Committee will discuss their concepts with the Pension
Plan Board and will request the Board to advance sufficient funds
for actuarial review as the Committee deems necessary.
The Pension Board will subsequently receive from the Com-
mittee a written recommendation for changes, if any, in the Pen-
sion Plan.
