Exhibit D Mike Hogan, Chairman January 26, 2015 Page 4 state that the Special Magistrate was apparently making recommendations covering four fiscal years which would violate Chapter 447, Part 11, Florida Statutes; are probably illegal insofar as the Special Magistrate recommending "me -too" provisions; the Special Magistrate provided no justification whatsoever; and the Special Magistrate ignored substantial evidence with respect to comparisons, peculiarities of employment, and availability of funds. 13. Article 37 - Duration and Renewal: Local 2201 rejects the Special Magistrate's "recommendation" with respect to duration. First. initially, the Special Magistrate made a recommendation which would cover four fiscal years. When that was brought to his attention, he responded by stating that the contract he recommended had an effective date of January 2015 through September 2017, which meant that there was no recommendation with respect to the first year subject to negotiations (October 2013 through September 2014). Second, it is apparent that the Special Magistrate did not even know what was the first fiscal year subject to negotiations and/or did not know that Florida law prohibits a four-year agreement. On the issue of duration, the Special Magistrate did not issue a competent recommendation. By: MJM:jg Respectfully submitted, Matthew J. Mierzwa, Jr. MIERZWA & ASSOCIATES, P.A.
