The Castroville CSD Board voted to designate General Manager James Derbin as the district’s labor negotiator for all employees under Government Code Section 54957.6.

Vice President Greg MacMillan made the motion and Director Cosme Padilla seconded it. General Manager Derbin had presented the candidates and meeting materials earlier in the agenda; the motion carried by roll call vote (5–0) after Director Glenn Oania joined the meeting.
