reviewed the following: current salaries; the status of the current and upcoming
budgets; the status of current and 2004 employee lay offs; the need for a motion and
majority vote of this Commission to continue with current salaries or increase them;
and the process by which salary increases become effective.

Commissioners by $500, to $8,000 and $6,500, respectively. Robert Mitchell
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Mazade called to the members’ attention that the salaries are being set for the
