a bill for her work; she has completed ten inventory forms and six more are nearly
complete. The bill was for $350.29. It was voted and approved to pay Ms. Pyne
$299. now, which is the remainder of the Commission's current budget, and to pay the
remainder on completion. David Loving, who had left the meeting prior to this vote,
returned to the meeting at this point. He suggested that we pay the remainder of
Ms. Pyne's bill now, using money left to the Commission as a gift. After a long
debate, this was motioned and passed. Ms. Pyne will be paid the entire sum of her
bill now, using the Commission's remaining budget and the Commission's gift.
