Exhibit A <br />employers and unions in developing recommendations. In support of its <br />proposals the Union cited "comps" with Brevard, Martin, Osceola, and St. Lucie <br />County fire department salaries and benefits. It is also noted that the millage rate <br />for FY 2013/14 at Indian River is 203 compared to a range between 250.82 <br />265.98 for the four "comp" counties cited by the Union. The result is Tess <br />comparable revenue underpinning the tax base to support public services. <br />While "comps" remains a statutory benchmark, "ability to pay" has evolved <br />as a compelling consideration in evaluating "impasse" positions in the Special <br />Magistrate process.

Needless to say there are considerable disparities between skill levels, <br />shift schedules, pay practices and their respective missions. <br />Fire departments are quasi -military organizations.
