MEMORANDUM
h
To: Village Council
From: Michael Couzzo, Village Manager
Date: December 22, 2000
Subject: Amendment to Collective Barga.ining Agreement with the Communications
Workers of America (CWA) Local 3181
Enclosed for your consideration is a proposed change to the terms of the collective
bargaining agreement with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local
' 3181. The change would increase the pay for our Communications Officers who work in
the Police Dispatch Center. This change is being proposed by the Village as the result of
the Village's eligibility to receive 911 Call-Taker Reimbursement funds from the County.
This funding is available to reimburse the Village for up to 25% of the cost of operating
our Dispatch Center since September 2000. According to the Pa1m Beach County
Division of Public Safety (the agency that administers the funds), the money should be
used "for the recruitment, training, compensation and retention of 911 telecommunicators
...to address the critical shortage of 911 telecommunicators."
The proposed change would increase the base pay for our fulltime Communication
Of�cers by $2.00 per hour retroactive to October l, 2000. It would also provide a
"Retention Bonus" of $500 to each of our fulltime Communication Officers who receive
a"Satisfactory" or above on their last performance evaluation at six-month intervals for
the three-year term of the collective bargaining agreement. Although we do not now
know the amounts, it is anticipated that the reimbursement funds will also be available
next fiscal year and possibly future years as well.
The CWA union membership ratified the change on December 21, 2000.
Staff recommends that the Village Council approve the proposed change to the collective
bargaining agreement with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and
authorize the Mayor to execute same.
Should you have any questions, please advise.
