01:10 AUSSIE TIMES - Editor Contract 

After discussion with the Aussie Times Editor the Aussie Times Committee makes the following recommendation. Kathy Warren

The Aussie Times Committee recommends the Aussie Time Editor's fee be raised from $2100 per issue to $2500 per issue starting with the July/August issue until such time the reports received from the Business Office are submitted in a more workable form. Once the reports start coming in in a workable form the fee per issue will go back down to $2100 per issue.

Board voting:  Approve:  Unanimous. Motion is approved.
