The Auburn City Council rejected a proposed three-year contract with Auburn Professional Firefighters Local 1446 following a lengthy debate over wages, staffing, and health insurance costs. The vote was 3 to 2, with Mayor Jimmy Giannettino, Craig Diego, and Dr. Rhoda Overstreet-Wilson opposing the agreement. The contract would have run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rejection prevents the city from implementing planned financial adjustments, including lower staffing levels and higher employee health insurance contributions. The proposed deal included 3% annual wage increases for firefighters, which the city sought to offset through staffing reductions and increased employee premium contributions.

City council employees are currently negotiating a contract with a union, which recently rallied at City Hall.
