Board discusses staff raises; no formal increase approved in excerpt
Summary
Participants debated whether to grant raises, the form of raises (percentage vs position), and historical patterns; at least one member opposed a position‑based raise and no formal action was recorded.
Meeting participants discussed potential staff raises and how to structure them. One speaker asked the group if anyone was thinking about giving raises. Participants discussed whether to implement raises now or delay them; one member stated, "Not a percentage. I'm against a raise to the position." Another participant noted historical practice: "We've never went more than 4 years in a row given a raise until now."
The discussion included references to how raises had been handled in past years and whether to apply a flat amount or position‑based changes. No formal motion, vote, or final decision to grant raises appears in the transcript excerpt; the matter remained under discussion and may be revisited at a future meeting.
