4. CITY COMMISSION DISCUSSION/ACTION ON ISSUE BEFORE THE
COMMISSION
Mayor Ford asked if a discussion with the Union happened regarding a 5% raise and if this
percentage would be acceptable to give to the Union. He also acknowledge that an offer of this
percentage had not been made. DHR Varian confirmed that this was correct. He inquired about
how the City compared to neighboring cities and requested that DHR Varian explain why the
City is okay with honoring a 4% increase across the board. CA Gabriel opined that DHR Varian
can offer facts with respect to neighboring cities and that the issue of employees being underpaid
is a policy discussion that should be held by elected officials. DHR Varian explained what
neighboring cities were doing regarding raises. She explained that salary wise, the City of AB
is still in the running but also not in the same position that the City was in before October 1. She
shared that the City has increased benefits.
Commissioner Ring inquired about the discussions had regarding pay raises. DHR Varian
expressed that she does not make any representations regarding what the Commission will
provide with respect to pay increases. Commissioner Ring asked what was voted down during
the negotiation session and DHR Varian confirmed that the only vote she was aware of being
voted down was a 4% raise.
Mayor Ford commented on and inquired about what neighboring cities were doing regarding
benefits. DHR Varian explained that she believes Jacksonville Beach offers a competitive
package and is not offering full coverage like Neptune Beach. She explained that the City of AB
does not reimburse employees if they choose to get health insurance elsewhere however, the
City is now offering a Veterans Choice benefit starting October 1. Mayor Ford expressed
concern for being in a position where giving a 4% raise is considered a bad thing. He reminded
everyone of the 24% raises that have been given over the past two years. He expressed that he
finds it difficult to understand why the most recent pay raises are being compared in isolation
with respect to the raises given over the past couple of years. Mr. Burris briefly spoke about
neighboring cities' benefits.
Commissioner Ring inquired about what AB employees receive regarding retirement. Mr. Burris
explained that employees receive what they contribute. DHR Varian clarified that employees
receive a match of up to 6% in a defined contribution plan, with a mandatory 3% and, that after
10 years the maximum contribution is 10%. Commissioner Ring inquired about attrition
regarding the union workers and expressed that their job duties, considering that they are labor
intensive, should be taken into consideration. DHR Varian shared that the longest employee in
such a job is 43 years.
Mr. Burris expressed his opinions on merit raises and explained why he is not a fan of them.
ACTION. Accept request to pay 6%.
Motion: Candace Kelly
Second: Jessica Ring
Special Called Meeting of the City Commission
October 9, 2023
Commissioner Ring asked if the motion needed to be more specific. CM Killingsworth advised
that it would be best if the motion were specific for LIUNA due to the meeting being an impasse
hearing.
No vote taken. 0 to 0.
MOTION: Amended motion: Approve the union's request for 6% and that we extend that to
the other non -unionized personnel.
Motion: Candace Kelly
Motion failed 0 to 0.
CA Gabriel advised making the decision on a percentage and then take a second action on if the
raise will apply to all employees.
MOTION: Approve a 6% (pay increase) for LIUNA only.
Motion: Jessica Ring
Second: Candace Kelly
Mayor Ford expressed that the City has done well in the last 2 years for employees but
acknowledges that cost of living can be a challenge. He requested that the Commission consider
a 4.5% raise. He expressed that whatever is done for the Union, should be done for the rest of
staff.
Commissioner Kelly expressed that there was room in the budget to lower the tax rate and also
money for a project at a park. She expressed that this should not be a budget issue and
acknowledged that those in the Union tend to complete the sweatiest work.
Commissioner Ring opined that the longevity of the work should be considered as well. She
expressed that she believes the raise does not have to be across the board and could be for
LIUNA only.
Commissioner Bole agreed with Commissioner Kelly.
Mayor Ford agreed that this is not a budget issue and that the Commission could decide on pay
raises. He expressed that the last couple of years have been generous. Commissioner Kelly
opined that a lot of the previous raises were to catch up. Mayor Ford expressed that a part of it
was to get the lowest paid employees to minimum wage before the time required by the State.

City of Fernandina Beach Mr. Dale L. Martin
Office of the City Manager
dmartin@fbfl.org
To: Charles George (Community Services Director), Pauline Testagrose (Comptroller), Denise
Matson (Human Resources Director), Jeremiah Glisson (Public Works Operations
Director), Andre Desilet (Public Works Utilities Director), Scott Mikelson (Parks and
Recreation Director)
From: Dale L. Martin, City Manager
Re: Wage Adjustments
i. The pandemic has significantly altered the conditions of the American (if not global) labor
market. Wages have increased markedly (especially at the lower end of wages) and many technical
skills are in greater demand. Despite relatively low unemployment statistics, many employers
have a substantial number of unfilled positions. The City of Fernandina Beach is no different.
2. Many positions have been posted and advertised for weeks, if not months, and yet applications
for those open positions are minimal. Since other employers, especially private sector employers,
are facing the same shortcomings, proposed wages have been increased to attract critical
personnel to those other employers.
3. The City made an initial effort ("Tier 1") to adjust its pay scale for entry level positions, raising
the minimum pay for all City positions to $i5.00, two years before that minimum wage will be
required by State statute. That effort has resulted in attracting several new employees to fill vacant
entry level positions.
4. The next step ("Tier 2") is to recognize that the City has several employees who serve critical
needs to support City operations: maintenance technicians, mechanics, heavy equipment
operators, and water and wastewater plant operators. Without these personnel, City operations
%gill be severely curtailed and to turn to external support, if lost, will be at significantly higher cost.
It is essential to retain these employees.
5. Considering those circumstances, I authorize wage adjustments (effective January 1, 2022) for
these critical employees. The affected employees and the associated wage adjustments are
attached hereto (highlighted). Upon review, the wage adjustments will have minimal impact upon
the City budget (mainly due to reduced labor expenses associated with unfilled positions).
6. As the pandemic continues, it will likely become necessary to implement additional pay
adjustments ("Tier 3") as examined and recommended by senior City staff.
7. The City continues to enjoy a productive and professional relationship with its employees (both
salaried and union -represented personnel). The employees are dedicated and enthusiastic to
continue to provide the levels of service expected and desired by this community.
8. If you have any questions, please contact me.
