From: Mandel, Jeffrey Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2015 12:21 PM To: Melissa Sandoval; jp111934@aol.com Cc: Joi Gibson; Matthew J. Mierzwa, Jr,; Byers, Angela Subject: RE: Indian River County and Local 2201 Mr. Popular, The start date of the Agreement was not an issue presented to the Special Magistrate for resolution, only the end date was presented for resolution. In this regard, as reflected in Mr. Mierzwa's correspondence, both parties proposed to the Special Magistrate in Article 37 a start date of October 1, 2013. The County objects to the Special Magistrate issuing a recommendation on an issue that was not in dispute. The only areas where an issue existed with respect to the effective dates were the proposed monetary increases and the leave accruals/payouts. The Special Magistrate issued recommendations that resolve those issues, such as recommending that the wage increases be prospective only. The County objects to the Special Magistrate revisiting those recommendations (even though the Special Magistrate recommended against the County on some of them, such as the leave accruals). Regarding the end date of the Agreement, the Union is correct that under the Florida Public Employee Relations Act, a collective bargaining agreement cannot exceed 3 years in duration. As such, the latest end date for the Agreement under Florida law is September 30, 2016 (the end of FY 2015-2016). The County has no objection to the Special Magistrate revising his,recommendation regarding the Agreement's end date, which would also control the fiscal years covered under the wage article (currently the Special Magistrate has a recommendation for the 4th year of the contract - FY 16-17). Thank you for your attention to this matter. Jeff Mandel.
