Discussions also centered on part-time employee wages, with officials reiterating that part-time rates would follow a structured matrix based on full-time equivalents. Each department head will be responsible for determining the appropriate pay levels for their part-time staff, ensuring that compensation aligns with the established tiers.

Concerns were raised regarding budget constraints, particularly for departments that may exhaust their allocated funds for part-time positions. Officials clarified that if budgets run out, departments would need to return to the board for additional funding requests.
The meeting concluded with a commitment to provide updated wage matrices to department heads, ensuring transparency and clarity in the implementation of the new pay structure. This proactive approach aims to address compensation issues while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
