During the Jan. 8 meeting the Policy Committee approved a motion to confirm listed appointments, with salaries prorated from each hire’s start date. The motion specified that confirmations were contingent upon receipt of required clearances and physicals as required by law.

The motion was moved, seconded, and passed on a voice vote; the committee chair announced the motion passed. The transcript records three ayes on the voice vote. The committee offered no further discussion on the personnel confirmations before proceeding to policy items.
