as president and Teri Peterson as president-elect.
o Discussion took place on salary matrixes which helps figuring out raises.
Some of the issues raised:
ƒ There is only so much in the pool to work with and it has to come
from somewhere to try and make it equitable.
ƒ Hard to get/find data to use.
ƒ Payroll slips – some departments have an explanation for the
breakdowns on their raises while others do not receive anything.
ƒ Salary policy this year encouraged reallocation and was not
dependent on funding sources (ex: grants).

last month. Doug showed them a sample form from another school which had a
place on the form where officers could write comments.
