September 2025 Board Meeting

Top 3 Key Takeaways

Union and District Continue Contract Negotiations: The district and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1245, representing 26 employees, are still bargaining; the contract expired in December 2024 after a year of talks. The union says 31 cutbacks are on the table—$10–15k pay cuts for ditch tenders, reduced medical benefits, ending comp time, and below-market cost-of-living raises—which they warn would hurt retention and service. District leaders did not respond to these concerns in the public session, and negotiations continue in closed session.
