SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED as
Amended.
RESOLUTION NO. R-83- 3 J45 PASSED
City Attorney Jon Henning read the Resolution by title.
City Manager Laura Stuurmans stated that Council has received copy of
a memorandum dated November 30, 1983 she received from Consulting City
Attorney Alan Ruf, along with a copy of the proposed contract be-
tween the City of Tamarac and the Fraternal Order of Police.
She said Mr. Ruf's memo addresses the salient parts of the con-
tract where negotiations have taken place between the parties.
There is one area that was not mentioned within the recap,
..which iE that within the wage article, provision was made for a
payment of a $5.00 witness standby fee to the officers when they
are -required to remain in a status where they are awaiting a call
from -the State Attorney's Office on cases.
Mr. Ruf said that paragraph was omitted but it should have been
included.
Mrs. Stuurmans said she was approached yesterday by Scott Silverman
who is the President and League Negotiator of the F.O.P. with re-
gard to Article 30 and the League has asked for only a simple
addition of language to further clarify that provision. This
reads, "Effective October 1, 1983, a pay increase amounting to 30"
and they are asking for it to read, "3o of annual salary will be
granted to each unit employee effective April 1, 1984".
V/M Massaro asked for clarification of the wording "annual salary".
She said generally increases are based upon a weekly salary.
City Attorney Henning explained that there is to be a 3% increase
on the annual salary as the salaries paid are annual salaries
under the contract. There is a pay plan that breaks it down
by year, bi-monthly, bi-weekly, and hourly, but the 3% increase
is based on an annual salary.

a year, the increase would be $300.00 per year regardless
of whether he is paid monthly, weekly, etc.
C/M Kravitz MOVED to adopt Temp. Reso. #2946 as amended, adopting the
new Agreement with the F.O.P. at this time. -
SECONDED by V/M Massaro.
C/M Stelzer inquired about the Yom Kippur holidays they wanted
and City Attorney Henning said they were told to use their
personal days for that purpose.
C/M Krantz asked how long this contract was in the making.
Mr. Ruf said negotiations did not begin until the middle of
August. There were intensive negotiations for about one month
and when an agreement could not be reached on seven or eight
articles, there was in impasse and that is what took this length
of time.
