Summary

After clarification, the board approved a motion that the additional winter stipend for the Sexton is authorized only for the specified fiscal winter (clarified during discussion as fiscal-year 2026 winter), following questions about whether the stipend was recurring.

Board members questioned an increase in the wages section of the FY2027 budget tied to an additional winter stipend for the Sexton role. The stipend—discussed on the record as $2,400—had been approved previously for a winter program to have the Sexton work with students.

Committee member (speaker 3) moved to clarify that the additional stipend applies only to the winter in question (the board later clarified it as the winter occurring in fiscal-year 2026). The motion was seconded, and the board approved the amendment by voice vote. Members clarified they understood the stipend as a one-time, seasonal payment rather than an ongoing increase to base wages.

The board asked staff to record the clarification in the minutes so budget documents reflect that the additional stipend is limited to the specified winter.
