AWWD board to hold special meeting on staffing and budget

The Alderwood Water and Wastewater District board has scheduled a Sept. 19 special meeting to discuss full-time staffing and the district budget. 1

What the records say

The Alderwood Water and Wastewater District (AWWD) board has scheduled a special meeting for Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the district's Administration Building Board Room, to discuss staffing and the district budget. 1 The agenda sets aside 180 minutes for a full-time equivalent (FTE) and budget discussion. FTE stands for full-time equivalent, a measure of how many full-time staff positions the district funds; one FTE equals one full-time slot. 1 After a scheduled lunch break, the board is to continue the FTE and budget discussion, then take a 60-minute tour of the M&O North project. 1 The board will also spend 60 minutes discussing the format of its board meetings. 1 The meeting is open to the public, with time set aside for public comments and commissioner comments before adjournment. 1 The agenda lists no specific FTE counts, dollar amounts, or items to be voted on, so this is a discussion and tour rather than a decision meeting on the record. 1

  • A special board meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with 180 minutes set aside for FTE and budget discussion.
  • The agenda continues the FTE and budget discussion for another hour after lunch, then includes a one-hour tour of the M&O North project.
  • The board will also spend one hour discussing the format of its board meetings.
  • The meeting is open to the public, with public comments and commissioner comments scheduled before adjournment.

Why it matters

AWWD is the water and wastewater utility for the area, and how many full-time staff it funds is a core part of its annual budget. 1 Residents and customers depend on the district for water and sewer service; staffing and spending choices affect how reliably that service is delivered and what it costs. Analysis: because labor is usually the largest share of a utility budget, the FTE number under discussion will be a main driver of the total spending figure. The special meeting is open to the public, including a public comments period. 1
