Staff proposal (salary change):
-tabled at last meeting. Lots of discussion. Some said a big raise. Reasoning: other radio stations, different sizes. Other non-for-profits – compared: all making at least that much.
We can keep office open on mondays. By shrinking hours, no one is there in the AM anyways. “Will stuff still get done?” - often board responsibilities fall on staff. Hiring a funding drive coordinator. Biggest overtime during funding drive. A failure last year. Budgeting: for a contract. NOT STAFF.
