mailing of the credit class schedule. She also commented on alternative methods

and options that have been explored in previous years.

to purchase a hoophouse, but never did because grant funding was not received

for the purchase.

project.

As the Board may recall, Trustee Oilschlager commented that last year she did

not vote to support the Vice Presidents’ contracts and the reason she did not

support them was because of their car allowances. Trustee Oilschlager stated

that she was on record stating that she did not think it was right that Vice

President Agazzi’s car allowance was significantly more than Vice President

Haney’s and more than Vice President Drummond’s. Trustee Oilschlager noted

that it was still that way now, and for the record, she does not think that is right.

If the Board is going to give a car allowance to the Vice Presidents, she stated

that they should all be the same amount.
