CHAIRPERSON’SREPORT………………………………ERIC MCCLURE, BOARD CHAIR
Chair Eric McClure began by discussing previous board votes to approve raises that for the staff but were unable to be implemented and as such they’ve remained flat. Now with the money in the budget he wanted the board to vote on raises that would make up for those past years and the raise would amount to a 20%(or what is allowed by the budget) raises for the office staff (Mike Racioppo, Liza Santiago). Alec Schierenbeck made a motion to approve and Jerry Armer seconded it. The motion to approve the raises passed unanimously by a vote of 31 to 0.
