Representative Town Meeting (Informational Meeting) - 9/22/2026

The FairTV Government held a Representative Town Meeting on September 22, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. A key agenda item was the presentation and review of a new collective bargaining agreement covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029, which includes a 3% annual cost-of-living increase and provisions for minimum staffing aligned with NFPA recommendations. The contract also reflects changes in health insurance plans, transitioning from a self-insured Anthem plan to a fully insured Sigma plan, with a gradual increase in employee cost share from 18% to 20%. The total cost impact of the contract is approximately $3.3 million over its term, with about one-third of that in the final year due to additional staffing. The union ratified the agreement on September 2, 2026, and the RTM has 45 days to act on it. Additionally, the meeting addressed the Tomlinson HVAC project, noting the need for three resolutions to apply for reimbursement following special legislation approval. Other topics included the formation of an ordinance drafting committee for personal electric vehicles and updates on a community signage project, but these were informational and did not involve procurement decisions.
