MORGANTOWN – The City of Morgantown and members of its fire department have agreed to a proportional increase in base pay that will result in no change of pay.
Last week, the city and 47 members of International Association of Firefighters Local 313 announced they had mutually resolved the firefighters claim that they were entitled to shift differential pay under the city s personnel rules, pending approval by City Council.

Dam good announcement in federal budget
Eurobodalla Council is celebrating the announcement of $51.2 million funding for the shire’s new southern water storage in last night’s federal budget.
The Council now has three quarters of the funding for the $105 million project, after the NSW Government also allocated $25.6 million last year. Council will fund the remainder.
The 3,000 megalitre storage will be built west of Bodalla, pumping water from the Tuross River in times of high flow to an off-stream storage and water treatment plant.
It will complement Council’s Deep Creek Dam and water treatment plant in Batemans Bay, providing drought security and bushfire resilience, and increasing capacity for peak holiday water demand and predicted population growth.
The entrances to the station in the CBD will be built on the corner of Hunter and George streets, as well as Bligh and O’Connell. An underground connection will also be built to link Barangaroo to Martin Place.
Commuters would be able to travel between the CBD and Pyrmont stations in two minutes, Mr Constance said, adding that 11 properties would be acquired in the city and two in Pyrmont.
