Court rules BPA treated fish fairly The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed that the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) pro- vided equitable treatment to fish and wildlife while responding to the power crisis on the West Coast in 2001. The decision marks the second time in recent weeks that the court has affirmed steps BPA took to manage through severe drought and market up- heavals two years ago. Two weeks ago the court upheld agreements be- tween BPA and its indus- trial customers that re- duced the amount of power BPA would sell these cus- tomers during the shortage. In upholding BPA’s actions, Judge J. Clifford Wallace quoted exten- sively from the agency’s 2001 decision document, that demonstrated the scope of the actions taken by BPA to provide equita- ble treatment to fish.

RCC faculty sign contract for three years Rogue Community College (RCC) faculty signed a three-year con- tract recently, agreeing to a one-year salary freeze that will save $350,000. The agreement be- tween the RCC Education Association (RCCEA) and the college also sets the number of contract days in 2003-04 at 177, a reduc- tion of five days. The college had faced a $2.6 million revenue re- duction in state funding over the next two years. An additional $1.2 million in Public Employees Re- tirement System (PERS) expenses also affected the college’s budget. To balance the budget, the college increased tui- tion and fees, reduced pro- grams, personnel and ex- penditures, and obtained greater operating efficien- cies. Managers’ salaries were also frozen in 2003- 04 and the classified em- p l o ye e s ’ a s s o c i a t i o n agreed to a salary freeze. The new contract gives all eligible faculty mem- bers a step increase in January 2004. It sets the top step of the salary schedule in ‘04-05 at the state average, between $61,300-$63,418 with 177 contract days. In ‘05-06, the intent is to continue the top step and number of contract days at the state average. It also provides a new tiered-rate group health insurance plan, with RCC’s premium share capped at six percent.
