| Report from Personnel Affairs Committee: The Committee was asked to look into the policy for hiring staff members. The old policy stated that internal candidates be given first consideration for an interview. The current policy states that internal candidates will be considered with the rest of the applicant pool, but most of the time they are given interviews as a courtesy. After some discussion, it was agreed that each Council member would ask several other staff their level of satisfaction with the current policy. The results will be discussed at the next Council meeting.
