As we have discussed previously, the City has made a sincere effort to achieve the <br />PBA's stated desire to memorialize the status quo within the Police Department. We believe the <br />attached document accomplishes precisely that exact goal. <br /> <br />Notably, the City's attached proposed agreement makes no changes in the current <br />operational practices or structure of the department. This includes the maintenance of the current <br />vehicle take-home program and associated fees. With regard to compensation, the City is <br />prepared, once the agreement is ratified, to immediately undertake a survey of salary and benefits <br />(as it did in 2008) and make all increases retroactive to the contract ratification date. The City <br />also agrees to conduct additional surveys every two years. <br /> <br />I encourage you to share a copy of this agreement with each voting bargaining unit <br />member. If you wish, we can assist by printing out additional copies. <br /> <br />Acceptance of this offer must be received in writing by the City no later than February <br />27, 2012. Any acceptance received after the aforementioned deadline will be rejected and <br />deemed null and void. Failure to accept within the timeframe will result in the City pursuing <br />remedies available under Chapter 447, Florida Statutes. These remedies include but are not <br />limited to a declaration of impasse. <br /> <br />It has been a pleasure working with you these past several months and I am hopeful that <br />we are close to the end of the process. The City has heard the bargaining unit and has put forth a <br />fair collective bargaining agreement that should establish a solid foundation for this new <br /> <br />MIAMI . FORT LAUDERDALE .
