Margate Police Department {Google Maps}
The Margate Police Department has received additional funding.
During the September 17 meeting, the commission approved a resolution to accept an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for $6,935. They then approved an agreement with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to fund equipment and operational supplies for speed measurement devices, including accessories, for the Police Department.
The commission approved a resolution for a memorandum of understanding between the city and the Federation of Public Employees, providing for competitive wages for members governed by the collective bargaining agreement until September 30, 2026.
Margate employees who are part of this agreement are part of a step plan, meaning they see pay increases based on their years of service. To determine their fiscal year 2026 step, bargaining unit members will first be slotted into the next highest salary step of the pay study from their current rate of pay, regardless of their actual step placement as of the date of hire.
Effective October 1, 2025, members’ fiscal year 2026 step shall be a three percent (3%) increase from their initial placement in the pay study, according to city information.
