December 15, 2021- Board Meeting

Happy Holidays. The OMWD’s December Board of Directors meeting included the Board's approval of new agreements with OMWD’s employee associations. Those agreements were negotiated over many months and, for the first time, require OMWD employees to pay into their medical plans, which is something I had brought up shortly after my Board appointment. The agreement also allows certain employees a limited ability to work remotely from home, as long as doing so does not impact customer service. Also, caps were placed on the future cost of living adjustments tied to inflation. The Board meeting also set a time and place for a special workshop to discuss progress on OMWD’s San Dieguito Valley Brackish Groundwater Desalination Project. If economically and technically feasible (which remains an open question), the project will contribute some local water to OMWD’s water supply. The workshop is set for March 30, 2022.
