The Leander Fire Fighter Association held a meeting on September 19, 2025, to discuss collective bargaining matters, focusing primarily on the grievance procedure outlined in their contract. The meeting began with a review of the grievance procedure, where a member expressed concerns about the language used in the document.

The discussion centered on whether the grievance procedure was intended solely for contractual grievances or if it also covered disciplinary actions such as discharge or demotion. It was suggested that if the procedure was meant only for contract grievances, specific language regarding discipline should be removed to avoid confusion. The member emphasized the need for clarity, stating that the grievance procedure should not contradict existing civil service appeals processes.

Additionally, there was a proposal to amend the terminology used in the document, specifically changing references from "union" to "association" to ensure consistency throughout the text. The group acknowledged the importance of accurately defining terms related to health and safety as well.

The meeting concluded with a call for further review of the grievance procedure to ensure all necessary changes were made and to confirm that the document aligns with the intended purpose of addressing contractual grievances. No formal resolutions were passed during this session, but the discussions laid the groundwork for future amendments to the grievance procedure.
