“Question for you. Perhaps in a side letter, we might ask the... the incoming TPA to review historical documents related to this because it's very important. I mean, this is really the Roth versus IRA issue writ large, and I would hate to see long-term employees wind up double-taxed.”

“Yeah, I'm just saying that, you know, I've seen this issue at least a year and a half where it's, let's say, I'm going to be nice, unclear what the historical, you know, payroll was.

“Yeah, they said they were leaving on December 31st. I'm sure they'd be a professional and healthy. They said they would. Yeah, I'm not worried. That doesn't worry me, but we're looking at it.”

“Yeah, but I'm saying then that we wind up the hiring committee because we look at all of the resumes and stuff and got to try to tease out which of those would be the fifth person. I'd much rather dump that on the council.”

“In the middle of the second page, I believe that it talks about the board size. I think at that meeting we discussed amongst ourselves that the size ought to remain the same, that that was our recommendation to the village council.
