Title
Consultant Services, Compensation Study (B)
This item involves a request for the City Commission to authorize contract negotiations with Milliman, Inc. to perform a comprehensive Compensation Study of all Charter Officer positions and all MAP, CWA, CWA Supervisory, IAFF, IAFF District Chiefs, FOP, PBA and ATU pay plans.
