� Contract Ratification � Charlie Shaffer distributed copies of a “Memorandum of Understanding” for the committee’s approval. The memo, a copy of which is attached to the paper minutes, basically states that the CHSD and CHSSA agree to an objective assessment of all secretarial positions “ . . . to align jobs and pay categories/lanes so that like work, function, skills, education and responsibility are paid under the same salary column (State, Local, or both).” After lengthy discussion, Walt moved to approve the memo. Peggy seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
