Seconded by Mr. Ramsey and motion
Mr. Stephens moved that the Board deviate from the printed Agenda and take up the
,matter of discussion for which the city employees had come in order that they
would not have to sit through the routine agenda. Seconded by Mr. Ramsey. Motion
carried.
Chairman Falzone called on Mary Drew, President of the Employees' Association. She
read a letter from the Employee's Association expressing dissatisfaction with the
recent 4% cost of living increase, stating Borne employees received as high as 17%
increase and others only 4%. Another objection was the ~25.00 monthly adjustment
for Police Officers being counted against the 5.5% maximum permissible 'general wage
standard. In this letter they also asked for a salary survey to be done by an
au ts ide firm.
WeSley Brettel, Chairman of the Civil Service Committee of the Employees' Association
read a cost analysis he had done and stat~d that the Employees' Association does
not feel that the Consumer Price Index reflects a fair cost of living increase for
the Clearwater area.
Director explained to the delegation that the increases up to 17% given to certain
classifications merely brought them up to a minimum wage of $2.20 per hour and that
in some other classifications it was necessary to give substantial increases to be
competitive in recruiting employees.'
Miss Drew stated that she had called Jacksonville IRS office and they stated that
the monthly adjustment for Police Officers could have been excluded from the
allowable 5.5% had a letter of request for exception been written to IRS. Director
stated he and Mr. Weimer had just returned from washington where they attended a
Workshop on the Economic Stabilization Program and they were told that the $25.00
, state mandated amount could not be excluded from the 5.5% general wage standard.
"
Mr. Ramsey moved that the Board:
1~ Request management to have a job survey made by an outside firm on all positions
in the City's Pay Plan and a copy of the job survey sent to the Civil Service
Board for their study and recommendation.
