To recap, we're asking for Board approval to seek funding for 2 CSJ positions, at $18/ hour to start in late April/early May 2026. I would leave the weekly hours open and allow the hire to choose, but it would be between 30 and 40. Assuming 2 positions at 40 hours per week, the cost would be about $3840.00. I'll submit an application if the Board agrees that this would be useful. Please discuss this at the meeting tomorrow and let me know your decision. | *To recap, we're asking for Board approval to seek funding for 2 CSJ positions, at $18/ hour to start in late April/early May 2026.
