STPUD schedules meetings regarding budget
The South Tahoe Public Utility District board of directors will be having a meeting May 3 from 6-7:30pm about the next fiscal budget.
It will be in the board room at 1275 Meadow Crest Drive, South Lake Tahoe.
The purpose of the meeting is to review the proposed 2018-19 budget, and 10-year financial and capital improvement plan for the district. No action will be taken.
The proposed budget will be voted on by the board on May 17 at 2pm at the district office.
The public will be able to comment at both meetings.
STPUD pays salaries to non-degree holder, labor workers at are above Bay Area salaries. A guy I know was hired from Meeks years ago – had no college education, and started at $35 per hour! He probably makes $50 per hour now – doing what? A job that should pay $20 per hour. The public should really look at what STPUD is paying their employees — it is out of the park! I believe in paying employees a good, living wage — but they are “out of the park”. Budget — this utility service needs to have a customer ombudsman on the payroll!
STPUD will always pay exorbitant salaries because they can, they do and no one does anything about it. And, they just pass on the increased costs to us. Oh they blame the rising costs on new meters and projects, but it all comes dow to salaries. STPUD thinks the public is stpud because we keep letting this happen. And we do. We don’t show up to protest, we don’t elect board members who will take a stand against the employees,, we don’t do anything.
