Attorney Vitunac advised that the contract was just typed in <br />formal format this morning. There are some minor typos that need <br />to be corrected and a few minor changes made in the wording under <br />grievances and some other issues, and it will have to be retyped. <br />The negotiating team is all here and we are recommending the <br />execution of this contract. It entails all the issues talked <br />about during the caucuses, but mainly, the pact will give <br />firefighters 4.5, 6 and 5 percent salary raises over the next <br />three years; a longevity step in the third year; an increase in <br />the incentive pay for EMTs from $38.50 to $42.00; and an increase <br />in holidays from 9 to 10, the same number as County employees. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commended both the County's <br />negotiating team as well as the union and their representatives <br />because he believed everyone negotiated in great faith to <br />accomplish all of this before the new budget year. With this in <br />place, it gives us the stability of a 3 -year contract so that we <br />can move ahead and direct our efforts in a positive way to bring <br />county -wide professional paid service uniformly to every resident <br />in the county. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved <br />with the corrections as noted by Attorney Vitunac, the <br />Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Vero <br />Beach Firefighters Association, Local 2201, I.A.F.F. <br />and the South Indian River County Fire District for <br />October 1, 1990 to.September 30, 1993, and authorized <br />the Chairman's signature. <br />Bill Tripp, President of Local 2201, commented that it's <br />been fun and they will be back in 3 years. <br />AGREEMENT IS ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE <br />CLERK TO <br />THE <br />BOARD <br />OCT 2 199 <br />48 <br />
