Commissioner Terry Sievers followed with he is big on evaluations and would like to reward long term with more vacation time.
He would rather see pay raises based on evaluations per individual but didn't have a number early in the meeting.
Kemnitz presented a quote through ANCO to climb the NET television tower and confirm any issues that have been recently acting up on the antennas pertaining to the fire repeater and public service/mutual aid repeater.
