The Board recommended a letter be sent to Town Manager requesting
something be done about the situation.

no longer willing to drive the van for $4/hour. Due to the responsibility
involved, Katherine feels she should be paid at least $5/hour. Board agreed
to pay her $5/hour and give a 52% increase to Instructors. Rheta will
discuss these items with the Town Manager.

Board Member, but couldn't be present tonight, December 8.

and important.

Prep for $100, and $35 each to John Doherty, John McCarthy and David Hoffses.
