Decisions Made
- We will transition down to 25 to 30 hours/week of custodial time as the busy season winds down.
- FEED Operations Committee will serve as implementation group for the grant, rather than form a new committee, delegating to Marketing group, as needed.
- We will ask for a change in the budget to replace the 20 hour/week business support specialist with a 10 hour/week processing coordination and a 10 hour/week billing (office) assistant
