<br />Salary Commission September 24, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />So, it was shared with me that they have a meeting coming up on Friday. It sounds as though <br />they’re—they will be submitting it. But maybe their input will say, “We agree, and we <br />support”—maybe it’ll seek further adjustments—up or down—or maybe it’ll say we take no <br />position. So, I’m sharing that information because it was shared with me. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: I think we—I think as a group we’ve decided that we’re going to try go down <br />this path—(inaudible) inversion, we get other information—we can deal with that separately. <br />So, I think that’s still the path to go on. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Yeah. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: And, right, we get more information, we’ll be able to (inaudible) at that time. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: I agree.

NELSON: So, we need to change all the dates, right? So, it should be July 1, 2024—not <br />January 1. And then I think the second sentence— <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: Actually— <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: July was a pay raise, not an inflationary adjustment. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: That’s correct. So, I think technically January 1 was the inflationary adjustment. <br />What we could do, if you want to specify it—so, we’re going back to 2 and 3 above— <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Yeah. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: —or do we cut Number 8—old Number 8, right? Because we don’t—this body <br />chose not to clarify and distinguish the inflationary increase and the pay increase, up above, but <br />here, right—do we want that there as well? Or do we want to cut it or do you—if you want, we <br />could say we haven’t—so, “1” is accurate. We have not—this body has not awarded any <br />Page 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
