“So I just want to capture the concern that I think the committee had, which was they really don't want us to decide on our own salary increase. And that's something that we are not addressing for what their concerns are. So we should at least put something in there to give them confidence that, like, you know, our salary is dictated by them. I agree.”

“Is there a second? No second. Next item. Hold on. No second. I get it. Let me have a discussion about this shortly. The thing is, we constantly go on without finishing an agenda. Everything gets rolled over month after month. Sometimes discussion items don't get discussed until like three months later.
