Mayor Demings gave an update on the Collective Bargaining Agreement for the pay increase for

the firefighters. He is confident that the Board gave staff direction and that they will be going back

to have a meeting with the IAFF. This item will come back on at the May 19, 2026 Board of

County Commissioner's meeting. The Fire Chief and staff are optimistic that they will end up with

a ratification by both the Board and the IAFF Local 2057. The item needs to come back because

matters of legality needed to be reviewed, there was some language that needed to be

specifically written and they needed to create the organized entities in order to do what was being

recommended. Board discussion ensued.

√ The notated public hearing is quasi-judicial in nature. As such, any verbal or written

communication with a member of the Board of County Commissioners prior to today’s

quasi-judicial hearing should be disclosed on the record or made a part of the record

during the public hearing by or on behalf of the party who communicated with the Board

member to allow any interested party an opportunity to inquire about or respond to such

communication. Failure to disclose any such communication may place the party who

ultimately prevails at the quasi-judicial hearing at risk of having the Board’s decision

overturned in a court of law due to prejudice against the party who was not privy to the

ex parte communication.

member of the Board and an outside party may be obtained at
