minimum and gave everyone else a 5% cost of living raise. The
Trustees all felt this was more reasonable. Two computers were
included in the general fund. She also included the grant
received from the state for the loader. A discussion followed
concerning the amount of work to be done and the number of employees to
do it all. Shirley reviewed the income that would be coming in
the next few months which will help the bank account balances.

another meeting on the 2nd of May to finalize the other accounts.
