SUPERVISOR’S REPORT

Supervisor Parker: Just one particular announcement. We are embarking on the month of June would culminate the Manager’s Annual Evaluation. I would like to set a meeting with the Personnel Committee and make contact with them so that we can begin launching that particular assignment with the Manager’s Evaluation.

CLERK’S REPORT

Clerk Montgomery: We had our Public Accuracy Test on this evening for our upcoming Election and all went well. Just an encouragement to make sure everyone gets out and vote. School Election is just as important as any other Election that we have.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES REPORT

Trustee Orange: I have a question regards to when was the last time we updated our Rules?

Supervisor Parker: It’s been a while and as a matter of fact, I have the current Rules Booklet that states 1999. So certainly, I think that the Rules Committee which I do know that we have an existence should get together to look at how we should revamp the Rules and Regulations and more importantly, get us current.

MANAGER’S REPORT
