🔥The county at first compromised on the fee.

🔥But the city declined that compromise.

🔥During the first arbitration, the county found inconsistency with the collection and application of the fee. They also found where the city broke the agreement (again) and obtained a bond.

🔥The county simply asked to see the fire ledger.

🔥And when they asked to see those, the manager suggested severing the contract at the last meeting. The Mayor fulfilled the City Manager’s wishes at the next meeting.

✨The district continues to invest in frivolous spending (new logo, marketing, artificial turf, exorbitant executive raises) at the expense of their employees.

✨Support staff and teachers unite together for a common goal: livable wages for everyone.

✨At the state meeting yesterday, Laurie Lawson-Cox told the state that the union sanctioned and distributed a bingo card for its members to use during a negotiation.

-We have confirmed that this statement is inaccurate. The union never sanctioned this activity.

✨Everything else that is colored are the things she said at the state. All of these things are not truthful statements. Here is the truth

-enrollment is down
-Hanna has not offered any raise over what the state has given.
-The union wants to move forward but even on things that would not cost the district money (work from home on teacher planning days) the district has denied.
-the district has not offered anything over the state issued money therefore the union can’t deny a higher offer that hasn’t been proposed

✨The white tiles are all the things that she could have said to the state that would have helped the union and our educators.

✨Listen to our hard-working neighbors.

✨They are showing up every day and they are advocating for livable wages.

✨The district tells them one thing and then tells the state something else.

✨We deserve leadership that treats their employees well and pays them well. Our neighbors pay should be a priority over our superintendent’s pay especially when we are being told how tight finances are.

“It’s not an us vs them”

Was stated last night at the county commission meeting during discussions about the ordinaces. This is so true.

Creating order between the two governments creates a chain of command. The city isn’t submitting to the county because they are less capable of running a government or because they need to be told how to write ordinances. They are submitting the way officers in the military submit. This maintains order.

We need order in our community and we need to know that if there is a disagreement between the two governments on an ordinance, that the county has the final burden of shouldering that decision.

🔥Station 17 Request for Proposal was posted on July 24th and it closed on September 5th when they rescinded the proposal. This was 6 days before it was supposed to close.

🔥 This means that any bids placed would be cancelled.

🔥However, the county attorney pointed out that the city has the bonded money for station 17 sitting in an account to be used.

🔥At the last city meeting, the city executive alluded to being unable to build 17 and expand 15 due to funding.

Update: a neighbor has covered the cost of this request for us and the district has confrmed payment 🫶 Thank you!

⚖️We placed a request through LCS and have been given a request fee of $67.

The request:

“Good day, I would like to request all executed settlement agreements from November 2016-August 2025. Thank you in advance for your assistance,”

⚖️We adjusted the request for 2020-2025 as we were told that going back to 2016 would require more work and a much higher request fee.

⚖️If you are able to support our work toward transparency, we greatly appreciate it. The direct link as well as our Venmo and GiveButter platforms will also be attached in the comments.

✨The IDEA funding request is being worked on currently and when it is fullfilled we will publish it.

🫶Thank YOU to all our neighbors who support us in all the ways you have. We truly are better together
