  1. TOP TEN Questions someone should ask Senior Management

  2. Number 10 • How is EBMUD going to pay for Freeport? • Not filling vacant positions? • Defer Preventative Maintenance? • On the backs of employees? • By charging it?

  3. Number 9 • Why can’t the Walnut Creek Water Treatment Plant provide water to it’s own pressure zone? • Rumor has it that Senior Management changed the clearwell design for esthetic reasons (they lowered it) and now it’s too low.

  4. Number 8 • Maybe 84 years of experience isn’t enough… What did we learn from all of those trips to Australia? • Why would we want to use Yarra Valley as a model?

  5. Number 7 • Are the Micro-Turbines at the NAB working? • What about the Solar power at the Sobrante Water Treatment Plant?

  6. Number 6 • How will the ratepayers feel about EBMUD paying an employee two paychecks for the same job? • Someone who retires from EBMUD should retire, especially when we’ve already appointed a replacement.

  7. Number 5 • What goes better with an orange jumpsuit? Gucci or Prada? (Sorry this is for my Paris Hilton list)

  8. Number 4 • Why was the FY08 budget approved with a 3.0% wage increase when the February 2007 CPI came in at 3.1%?

  9. Number 3 • Why is Senior Management’s negotiation team offering a wage proposal that is not only below CPI, but less than what the General Manager and General Counsel received in January 2007? • Are the employees less valuable then management?

  10. Number 2 • Why isn’t CPI “Good Enough”? • Senior Management has told us that CPI is not sufficient to set rates, why should it be sufficient to set a wage increase? • Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics… • “The CPI frequently is called a cost-of-living index, but it differs in important ways from a complete cost-of-living measure…A cost-of-living index would measure changes over time in the amount that consumers need to spend to reach a certain utility level or standard of living”. CPI falls short of this measurement. • CPI excludes the cost of energy and home prices.

  11. Number 1 • Why would we ratify a contract that only includes takeaways?
