Speaker 1 reviewed the finance section (page 28), saying director positions have no operating budget increases and that the budgetary changes are salary increases to retain staff. Speaker 1 stated the grant accountant is managing far more grants than expected — “He’s got 58 grants in addition to ARP, and he’s handling a 100,000,000 in grant in grant revenues right now.” Speaker 1 emphasized turnover and the need to keep new staff through pay adjustments.
