Jan Simmerman is on the phone. - Present. - Thank you very much, Jan. - You're so welcome. - And then we have in our packets of the minutes of the last meeting, October the 17th. We also have present with us the auditor's staff, Mr. T.J. Fowler and Miss Wendy Spadoni here today. and Aaron Lowry is not here. I would like to ask the members to review the minutes. If you haven't done so already, I think they were sent to us ahead of time. And do you have any amendments or revisions? If not, I'll entertain a motion to approve the minutes as written. - I salute. - Thank you, Jan. A second? - Second. Second, Mr. May, and any further discussion? If not, I'll ask those of you who are here in person and on the phone, who approve these minutes to please say aye. - Aye. - Aye. - All who oppose or abstain, please indicate. so we have a unanimous approval of the last meeting which was on October 17. We are here today because we made some decisions at that meeting and we, of course, give time for people to make public comments after the salary adjustment resolution is published and you have in your packet the resolution which lays out the actual calculations for all of the officials, elected officials.
