Meeting with Steve Keil

Steve Keil, the Director of Labor Relations, called a meeting to keep us informed of what is happening in the County. He told Logan Pratt, the Vice-President of DPPA, and me about all the layoffs this year, but he was optimistic about next year. He didn’t see growth, but at least he foretold of budgets flattening out and not the steep downward structure that has become too familiar. For this next fiscal year, I told him that DPPA would support one day of furlough per month if it could save positions. He was very grateful about this and said he would figure out who could be saved.
