necessary, the basic work period may be changed, provided the employees are
given at least seven (7) calendar days notice prior to the change.
17.2 Whenever the Chief of Police or the City Manager permits an employee (at the

not specifically assigned, the employee shall have no right to receive any
compensation or compensatory time for the hours spent traveling to or from or

hearing on a pending criminal, civil, or traffic case or as a witness in a pending
departmental disciplinary action, where the employee is or was involved in his
official police capacity, and such appearance occurs when the employee is

possible there should be a minimum of twelve hours between the completion of
the employee's prior work shift and the beginning of the next work shift. This
section does not apply in overtime circumstances.

Subject: RE: Bargaining Proposals
John - In a nutshell, here is the basis of our proposal:
- All members of the ABPD pension plan would see the member - contribution portion of the
defined benefit plan move to 8$ as of 10/1/12.
- All current members of the ABPD bargaining unit would see a one -time pay adjustment of
the difference between the current contribution rate (approximately 4.8 %, as I recall) and
the 896 rate. This would be independent of the step plan, would not raise minimum pay for
the various classifications and would not be granted to hires who begin employment after
10/1/12.
This will, over a period of years, eventually see everyone in the bargaining unit pay the
8% contribution. rate without forcing the current employees to take a pay cut. It will also
prevent the F.S. 185 money from being risked. The members recognize there could be other
alterations made to the plan and remain willing to discuss those as well. Since the
contribution rate seemed to be one of the highest priorities, however, we make this offer
to get the ball rolling on this important issue.

Mike, perhaps you could just outline in bullet points your pension ideas and as long as
you are clear enough we can review and respond on our end. John

John - Apologies for the delay in this. Part of the confusion was on how to proceed on the
pension language, given that it is not in the contract. I was waiting to hear from Vince,
who was out of town last week. I have attached our proposal on the leave issue we
discussed at the table. As to the pension, bearing in mind the crux of our proposal was to
craft language /agreement so that new hires would be the ones most affected, my question to
you is this: would you like to add an article to the contract or were you thinking of some
sort of memorandum that each party would sign.? We can put something in writing; I am just
not sure of how you envision this coming forth. Please advise.

We have no imniediate counter on longevity, except to say that we do not wish to see it go away.
Would you like to schedule another date to meet?
