Hometown radio reported this week that the Amador Water Agency (AWA) Board approved a $10.9M budget for this year after making some $600,000 in cuts. In an attempt to minimize future rate increases the AWA Board of Directors cut $630,773 in operating costs from the agency’s 2009-10 budget. The final budget of $10.9 million was approved Friday with a 5-0 vote. The approved budget will reduce rate increases that were scheduled to go into effect for two agency systems starting July 1. The $630,773 in cuts effects all agency departments, including; holding off on replacing equipment, delaying some employee trainings, and potential elimination of all cost of living and merit pay raises. Staff layoffs are a possibility if enough other cost reductions can’t be found. AWA General Manager Jim Abercrombie will meet with the Agency’s three employee associations to discuss voluntary retirement and severance programs. AWA Directors plan to revisit the 2009-10 budget again in October.
