Over the last several weeks, Rainbow’s Board President and GM have held a series of meeting with FPUD and LAFCO to see if we could resolve this issue amicably and get back to the business of serving our ratepayers. During these meetings RMWD reiterated our objection to the unfair and illegal at-large voting system proposed by FPUD and offered that we would accept a merger if we could simply let our ratepayers use a fair and legal method of selecting their representatives by divisions. We also offered to restart the JPA so we could start saving your money while we worked out the details. We reminded LAFCO and FPUD that the RMWD delegation to the former NCJPA voted to extend the JPA to save you money but FPUD voted that motion down.
