COMMITTEE REPORTS
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE — APPROVED UNDER CONSENT AGENDA
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Wednesday January 28, 2015 at 9:00
a.m, at the Frederick County Public Safety Building, 1080 Coverstone Drive, Winchester, VA.
Committee members present were: Committee Chairman Gary Lofton, Ron Wilkins, Chuck
Torpy, and Gene Fisher. Member Chris Collins was absent. Also in attendance were County
Administrator John R. Riley, Fire & Rescue Association President Dan Cunningham, County
Attorney Rod Williams, Fire & Rescue Chief Denny Linaburg, Major Lou VanMeter,
Communications Director LeeAnna Pyles, Human Resources Director Paula Nofsinger, Sheriff
Robert Williamson, Assistant County Administrator Kris Tierney, Gainesboro Supervisor Robert
Hess, and Deputy Fire Chief Jay Bauserman. The following items were discussed:
** *Information Only * **
1. Discussion of discontinuin2 private alarm monitoring by Communications
Department:
Public Safety Communications Director LeeAnna Pyles addressed the Committee regarding the
department's intent to discontinue providing private alarm monitoring services for businesses and
schools, She noted the department has monitored 53 County owned buildings and schools for a
number of years; however, the existing equipment and software is now obsolete and out of date.
Replacement of these items would cost in excess of $30,000. Director Pyles reported that she
had contacted a number of surrounding jurisdictions regarding their monitoring practices and
found that most have stopped providing this service or only monitor 1 or 2 buildings. She noted
the schools are installing panic alarms in all the classrooms, which will dramatically increase.
Director Pyles advised that staff would recommend this monitoring service be outsourced to an
outside company with the affected entities paying a third party vendor. It was noted that a
vendor could provide more detailed alarm monitoring to include the nature or type of alarm and
zone or location (i.e. broken window on eastside of building as opposed to our current general
burglary alarm) of the incident. The alarm company would then contact Dispatch, if necessary,
to send appropriate personnel. There would be no additional cost to the county. Mr. Fisher
stated that this was reasonable request of the Communications Department.
Chairman Lofton requested that Director Pyles check with the Finance Department on
procurement policies, contact the affected departments to see if a budget increase would needed
and bring her findings back to the next Public Safety Committee meeting. The Committee
concurred.
2. Fire & Rescue Service PIan:
Chief Linaburg distributed a draft of the Fire & Rescue Department's Service Plan for
information only. This is an all- encompassing comprehensive document which outlines all
levels of service, apparatus, staffing, volunteer system, etc. showing how it all works as a
cohesive department. Chief Linaburg asked the committee to review the document and provide
any feedback and comments.
Chairman Lofton requested that the Committee review the draft document and bring any
comments and questions to the next meeting.
3. Proposed FY 16 budgets for Public Safety Departments:
The Sheriff, Communications Director, and Fire Chief presented their proposed FYI 6 budgets.
Each department highlighted needs for increased funding of key line items and staffing requests.
Sheriff Williamson noted his he was seeking 17 additional cars (including 10 patrol, 2 4x4s, 4
unmarked, 1 ACO vehicle) as the existing fleet needs to be replaced due to high mileage and
maintenance cost. He was also seeking 17 additional sworn deputies including 6 patrol deputies,
7 civil deputies (to staff the different courts per the new State ordinance), 2 SRO's (fulltime at
the 2 schools currently not manned fulltime), 1 ACO and 1 fingerprint examiner.
Communications Director Pyles noted she was seeking $6,000 (fixed asset) to replace the current
a/c unit at the North Mountain tower site, which is over 20 years old with no vendors able to
replace parts that are out dated. She noted in the next few years, the department will need to
upgrade the current radio system at a cost estimate of approximately $1.5 million. She concluded
by saying she and Chief Linaburg would be requesting funding for a full -time radio technician
position to manage the care and maintenance of the radio system.
Chief Linaburg noted he was seeking a number of new positions to help alleviate overtime
expenses and to have adequate staffing for the fire stations. He cited the need to replace current
aging fleet and equipment. Among the department's other budget requests were a scanner to be
used with the Laserfiche system the County has in place. This would allow the department to
scan all of the building specs and information into a tablet which during an incident or inspection
they would be able to pull up the specific plans and see building layouts and such. Fire &
Rescue's FYI budget proposal is reflective of increases and items needed for the department to
function safely and to continue to provide excellent service to the citizens with emphasis on the
need for additional staffing.

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED DRUG COURT
Mr. Tim Coyne appeared before the committee to discuss the possible creation of a drug
treatment court. He noted that he did not have a formal job description, but he would like the

court. He stated that between 70 %-80% of all NRADC inmates suffer from some form of
addiction. He advised there were currently 37 drug courts in Virginia. He stated that he fully
supported the funding and creation of this position.
Winchester Police Chief Kevin Sanzenbacher believed the position could be employed for
$60,000 per year with a second position coming on board in January 2016. He stated if Valley
Health would absorb the positions then the costs to the localities would be somewhere between
$60,000 and $70,000.
Mr. Coyne stated the first position would help plan the court.
Chairman Shickle asked who would serve as fiscal agent for these positions.
Judge Kellas stated the position would be under Valley Health,
Administrator Riley asked if this position would be through Valley Health and, once the costs
were known, would the localities pay Valley Health?
Mr. Coyne responded it could work that way.
Chris Rucker, Valley Health, stated there would be a committee to supervise the position, but
Valley Health would be responsible for personnel oversight, etc.

12
part-time position. It was anticipated this position would work 25 hours per week with the cost
being shared equally by the county and city.
City Manager Freeman noted funding this position would mean the localities would be doing
something different because this would become a city /county position/employee.

CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Shickle called the work session to order.
The board and committee reviewed the memo regarding FY 2016 committed costs and
the breakdown of possible funding for public safety positions.
Finance Director Shiffler stated that staff needed to know what to advertise as part of the
budget public hearing ad, particularly whether to include $73 million in fund balance funding or
only $4.3 million.
Vice - Chairman DeHaven stated he could go either way regarding the $3 million,
Chairman Shickle stated he did not know if the extra $3 million gives the board a lot.
Mr. Ewing stated that in order to eliminate confusion, he suggested going ahead and
including the $3 million.
Supervisor Fisher stated he could go either way, but agreed with Mr. Ewing.
Supervisor Lofton stated there were advantages to having the extra $3 million.
Chairman Shickle stated there was consensus of the body to include the $3 million as part
of the budget advertisement.
The next question had to do with how the allocation of the additional funds would be
split. Would it remain the same 57 % -43% schools and general fund?
Vice - Chairman DeHaven responded yes.
Supervisor Fisher advised with the state providing additional funds for a pay increase for
schools we needed to do likewise for our staff. He noted there were needs, especially public
safety, that needed to be addressed; therefore, the split should be different this year, possibly
75 % -25% general fund and schools.
Finance Director Shiffler stated funds have not currently been identified for salary
increases. She noted staff would try to identify them through savings.
Dr. Sovine stated the school administration recognizes the county's recently completed
salary survey; however, there exist gaps between school and county employees in comparable
positions.
2
Mrs. McCann- Slaughter suggested taking $400,000 out of the $3 million for a salary
increase for county employees, before doing the split with the school system.
Dr. Sovine stated the schools have used the salary survey to compare like positions (i.e.
custodians, maintenance, secretaries, etc.); however, they are trying to close the gaps in those
areas. He noted the school board was looking at a one step increase, which would equate to
about $2.5 million in order to close that gap.
Commissioner Murphy stated she favored a salary increase for county staff because of
the need to keep experienced people.
Mr. Ewing stated he thought there was some rationale for a different split of the reserve
versus the normal distribution.
Vice - Chairman DeHaven stated he wanted to try to accomplish that, but he would prefer
to stick with the normal split. He suggested continuing to look for a way to address the situation.
Supervisor Hess echoed Vice - Chairman DeHaven's comments. He went on to say the
increase needed to be on a more comprehensive basis.
Supervisor Wells agreed with Supervisor Hess and Vice - Chairman DeHaven,
Treasurer Orndoff noted the budget would hit approximately 75% of the schools'
requests, based on need. He noted that when the economy declined the County laid off people,
but funded buy -outs for the schools. He concluded by saying the salary survey that was
undertaken touched only half of the County's employees.
Supervisor Lofton noted the County had taken steps forward with the salary survey, but
he did not want to slip. He went on to say he would like to see some type of salary adjustment
that would be comparable to Frederick County Public Schools. He concluded by saying he had
no preferred method on how to get there.
3
Dr. Sovine noted that last year the schools did a 2.5% salary adjustment while the County
got a 3 %. He went on to say there were significant gaps in identical positions between the
schools and the County. He concluded by saying the proposed salary initiative would not close
that gap.
Supervisor Hess stated that he would like to examine fund balance and how it is handled.
He went on to say that it appears to currently be handled on an ad hoc basis; therefore, we need
to look at the Board's goals and objectives for fund balance.
Supervisor Fisher reiterated there were currently two departments that were important to
the County's operations and if we do not do something with staff, we are kidding ourselves by
continuing down this path. He believed the spilt should be reversed, but he would go along with
the Board's and committee's decision.
Chief Linaburg advised that his department had slowed down employee loss. He went
onto say that anything we could do to give employees encouragement that there is something on
the horizon would be good.
Chairman Shickle polled the board and committee regarding their desire to maintain the
57 % -43% split between schools and general fund.
Vice - Chairman DeHaven — Yes
Supervisor Fisher — No
Supervisor Lofton — No
Supervisor Wells — No
Supervisor Hess — Yes
Mr. Ewing — No
Mrs. McCann - Slaughter -- No
4
Mrs. Rudolph —No
Commissioner Murphy — No
Treasurer Orndoff — No
Chairman Shickle stated he would poll the board and committee to see if anyone wanted
to see the distribution reversed so the split would be 57% general fund and 43% schools.
Vice - Chairman DeHaven advised the he supported doing something for staff, but did not
think this was the right way to do it.
Mrs. McCann - Slaughter recognized there were some morale issues for county staff
regarding an increase.
Supervisor Wells suggested staying with the current distribution but then trying to come
up with a plan to provide a 2% increase for county employees.
Finance Director Shiffler stated, if board and committee did not want to change the split
then staff would advertise the budget to reflect the current split. She went on to say that staff
would review revenues and expenditures at the end of April to see how things were and to see if
the county would be able to provide an increase. Staff would then come back to this group in
May with a strategy.
Supervisor Fisher stated he would go along with that proposal. He reminded the board
and committee that there were major challenges in the areas of public safety and public works.
Finance Director Shiffler advised that the proposed increase would be a merit increase.
Supervisor Lofton advised that he struggles with the issue if the county can have a salary
adjustment based on a competitive market, but the schools cannot do that then that was a
problem.
5
Supervisor Ewing asked what would happen if the money was not available. Where
would we go to ensure the proposed pay increase?
Chairman Shickle stated he would challenge the HR Committee to prepare an update to
the compensation study to include what was done, where we are going, and what we would like
to do. He suggested the results and a recommendation be presented to the Board. He urged the
HR Committee to pay attention to comparables within Frederick County Public Schools, where
applicable.
Finance Director Shiffler summarized what would be included in the budget
advertisement and actions going forward:
- $7.3 million in Fund Balance funding would be part of the advertisement. The
additional $3 million would be split in the normal 57% schools and 43% general
fund.
- Staff would prepare the budget presentation to include no tax increase.
- Staff would review General Fund numbers and come back to the Finance Committee
in May regarding a salary increase.
- The public safety positions would be taken through the HR Committee.
There being no further business, the work session adjourned at 8:55 a.m.

PUBLIC FACILITIES AND AUTHORIZING THE LEASING OF
CERTAIN PROPERTY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A PRIME LEASE AND A LOCAL
LEASE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT AND FINANCING LEASE, AND
OTHER RELATED ACTIONS
WHEREAS, on April 19, 2006, the Economic Development Authority of the County of
Frederick, Virginia (formerly known as the Industrial Development Authority of the County of
Frederick, Virginia) (the "EDA ") issued its $21,410,000 Lease Revenue Bonds (Frederick
County, Virginia Public Safety Capital Projects) Series 2006 (the "2006 EDA Bonds ") in order
to provide funds for the construction and equipping of new public safety facilities, an animal
control facility and other public safety facility projects (the "2006 Project ");
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the "Board ") of the County of Frederick, Virginia
(the "County ") intends to refinance the costs of the 2006 Project (the "2015 Project ") by
refunding all or a portion of the 2006 EDA Bonds;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to enter
into a lease arrangement in order to obtain funds to finance the 2015 Project;
WHEREAS, the Board is authorized, pursuant to Section 15.2 -1800 of the Code of
Virginia of 1950, as amended, to lease any improved or unimproved real estate held by the
County;
WHEREAS, Virginia Resources Authority ( "VRA ") intends to issue its Infrastructure
and State Moral Obligation Revenue Bonds (Virginia Pooled Financing Program), Series 2015A
or such other series of bonds as VRA and the County may determined (the "VRA Bonds ") and,
subject to VRA credit approval, to provide a portion of the proceeds to the County to finance the
2015 Project pursuant to the terms of a Local Lease Acquisition Agreement and Financing Lease
(the "Financing Lease "), between the County and VRA;
WHEREAS, the County will enter into a Prime Lease (the "Prime Lease ") with VRA
whereby the County will lease all or a portion of the 2006 Project and the real estate on which
such leased portion is located (the "Real Estate ") to VRA;
WHEREAS, the County will enter into the Financing Lease with VRA pursuant to which
VRA will lease back to the County the portions of the 2006 Project and the Real Estate leased by
the County pursuant to the Prime Lease (collectively, the "Leased Premises "), and the County
will make rental payments corresponding in amount and timing to the debt service on the portion
of the VRA Bonds issued to finance the 2015 Project (the "Rental Payments ");
WHEREAS, the County intends to pay the Rental Payments out of appropriations from
the County's General Fund;
WHEREAS, the Financing Lease shall indicate that the County requests an amount
sufficient to refund the 2006 EDA Bonds selected for refunding plus an amount sufficient to pay
local costs of issuance (or such other amount as requested by the County and approved by VRA
prior to the pricing of the VRA Bonds) is the amount of proceeds requested (the "Proceeds
Requested ") from VRA;
WHEREAS, VRA has advised the County that VRA's objective is to pay the County an
amount which, in VRA's judgment, reflects the market value of the Rental Payments under the
Financing Lease (the "VRA Purchase Price Objective "), taking into consideration the Proceeds
Requested and such factors as the purchase price to be received by VRA for the VRA Bonds, the
issuance costs of the VRA Bonds (consisting of the underwriters' discount and other costs
incurred by VRA (collectively, the "VRA Costs ")) and other market conditions relating to the
sale of the VRA Bonds;
WHEREAS, such factors may result in the County receiving an amount other than the
par amount of the aggregate principal components of the Rental Payments under the Financing
Lease and consequently (i) the aggregate principal components of the Rental Payments under the
Financing Lease may be greater than the Proceeds Requested in order to receive an amount of
proceeds that is substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested, or (ii) if the maximum authorized
aggregate amount of the principal components of the Rental Payments under the Financing Lease
does not equal or exceed the sum of the Proceeds Requested plus the amount of the VRA Costs
and any original issue discount, the amount to be paid to the County, given the VRA Purchase
Price Objective and market conditions, will be less than the Proceeds Requested; and
WHEREAS, the Prime Lease and the Financing Lease are referred to herein as the
"Documents." Copies of the Documents are on file with the County Administrator.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
THE COUNTY OF FREDERICK, VIRGINIA:
1. Approval of Lease - Leaseback Arrangement The lease - leaseback arrangement
with VRA to accomplish the financing of the 2015 Project is hereby approved. The leasing of
Leased Premises by the County, as lessor, to VRA, as lessee, pursuant to the terms of the Prime
Lease is hereby approved. The leasing of the Leased Premises by VRA, as lessor, to the County,
as lessee, pursuant to the terms of the Financing Lease is hereby approved. If the County elects
to finance other projects with VRA at the same time as the 2015 Project, the County is hereby
authorized to combine the financing of such projects into one lease - leaseback financing.
2. Approval of the Terms of the Rental Payments The Rental Payments set forth
in the Financing Lease shall be composed of principal and interest components reflecting an
original aggregate principal amount not to exceed $19,000,000 and a true interest cost not to
exceed 6.0% per annum (exclusive of "Supplemental Interest" as provided in the Financing
Lease and taking into account any original issue discount or premium); and the final maturity
shall be not later than 25 years from the date of the first Rental Payment under the Financing
Lease. It is determined to be in the best interest of the County to enter into the Financing Lease
with VRA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Resolution. Given the VRA
Purchase Price Objective and market conditions, it may become necessary to enter into the
Financing Lease with aggregate principal components of the Rental Payments greater than the
Proceeds Requested. If the limitation on the maximum aggregate principal components of
-2-
Rental Payments on the Financing Lease set forth in this paragraph 2 restricts VRA's ability to
generate the Proceeds Requested, taking into account the VRA Costs, the VRA Purchase Price
Objective and market conditions, the County Administrator is authorized to accept a purchase
price at an amount less than the Proceeds Requested. The County Administrator is authorized to
accept the interest component of Rental Payments based on the interest rate or rates established
by VRA. The actions of the County Administrator in accepting the final terms of the Financing
Lease, including its purchase price and the Rental Payments shall be conclusive, and no further
action shall be necessary on the part of the Board.
3. Other Payments under Financing Lease Subject to paragraphs 7 and 8 below,
the County agrees to pay all amounts required by the Financing Lease in addition to Rental
Payments, including the "Supplemental Interest," as provided in the Financing Lease.
4. Execution and Recordation of Documents The Chairman and the County
Administrator, either of whom may act, are authorized and directed to execute the Documents
and deliver them to the other parties thereto. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and any
Deputy Clerk, any of whom may act, are authorized to affix the seal of the County to the
Documents, if required, and to attest such seal. The Chairman and the County Administrator,
either of whom may act, are further authorized to cause the Prime Lease and the Financing
Lease, to be recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Frederick County.
5. Form of Documents The Documents shall be in substantially the forms on file
with the County Administrator, which Documents are hereby approved with such completions,
omissions, insertions and changes as may be approved by the Chairman and the County
Administrator, either of whom may act. The execution and delivery of the Documents by the
Chairman and the County Administrator, or either of them, will constitute conclusive evidence of
the approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions, and changes, including acceptance
of the final terms of the Financing Lease.
6. Essentiality of the Proiect and Real Estate The 2006 Project and the Real
Estate are hereby declared to be essential to the efficient operation of the County, and the County
anticipates that each will continue to be essential to the operation of the County during the term
of the Financing Lease.
7. Annual Budget While recognizing that it is not empowered to make any binding
commitment to make Rental Payments and any other payments required under the Financing
Lease beyond the current fiscal year, the Board hereby states its intent to make annual
appropriations for future fiscal years in amounts sufficient to make all such payments and hereby
recommends that future Boards do likewise during the term of the Financing Lease. The Board
directs the County Administrator, or such other officer who may be charged with the
responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to include in the budget request for each
fiscal year during the term of the Financing Lease an amount sufficient to pay the Rental
Payments and all other payments coming due under the Financing Lease during such fiscal year.
If at any time during any fiscal year of the County throughout the term of the Financing Lease,
the amount appropriated in the County's annual budget in any such fiscal year is insufficient to
pay when due the Rental Payments and any other payments required under the Financing Lease,
the Board directs the County Administrator, or such other officer who may be charged with the
-3-
responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to submit to the Board at the next
scheduled meeting, or as promptly as practicable but in any event within 45 days, a request for a
supplemental appropriation sufficient to cover the deficit.
8. Rental Payments Subiect to Appropriation The County's obligation to make
the Rental Payments and all other payments pursuant to the Financing Lease is hereby
specifically stated to be subject to annual appropriation therefor by the Board, and nothing in this
Resolution or the Documents shall constitute a pledge of the full faith and credit or taxing power
of the County or compel the Board to make any such appropriation.
9. Disclosure Documents The County authorizes and consents to the inclusion of
information with respect to the County in VRA's Preliminary Official Statement and VRA's
Official Statement in final form, both to be prepared in connection with the sale of the VRA
Bonds. If appropriate, such disclosure documents shall be distributed in such manner and at such
times as VRA shall determine. The County Administrator is authorized and directed to take
whatever actions are necessary or appropriate to aid VRA in ensuring compliance with Securities
and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2 -12.
10. Tax Documents The County Administrator and the County's Director of
Finance, either of whom may act, are hereby authorized to execute a Nonarbitrage Certificate
and Tax Compliance Agreement or any related document (the "Tax Documents ") setting forth
the expected use and investment of the proceeds of the VRA Bonds to be received pursuant to
the Documents and containing such covenants as may be necessary in order for the County and
VRA to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax
Code "), with respect to the VRA Bonds and the Documents including the provisions of Section
148 of the Tax Code and applicable regulations relating to "arbitrage bonds." The County
covenants that the proceeds of the VRA Bonds to be received pursuant to the Documents will be
invested and expended as set forth in the Tax Documents, to be delivered simultaneously with
the issuance and delivery of the Financing Lease and that the County shall comply with the other
covenants and representations contained therein.
11. Other Actions All other actions of the officers of the County in conformity with
the purpose and intent of this Resolution are hereby approved and confirmed. The officers of the
County are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver all certificates and instruments
and to take all such further action as may be considered necessary or desirable in connection with
the actions contemplated by this Resolution or the execution and delivery of the Documents,
including with limitation the execution and delivery of an escrow agreement or similar
arrangement related to the refunding of all or a portion of the 2006 EDA Bonds.

reviewed the Information Statement (the "Information Statement ") describing the State Non -
Arbitrage Program of the Commonwealth of Virginia ( "SNAP ") and the Contract Creating the
State Non - Arbitrage Program Pool I (the "Contract "), and the County has determined to
authorize the County Administrator and the Treasurer, or either of them, to utilize SNAP in
connection with the investment of any portion of the proceeds of the lease - leaseback transaction
if the County Administrator and the Treasurer determine that the utilization of SNAP is in the
best interest of the County. The Board acknowledges that the Treasury Board of the
Commonwealth of Virginia is not, and shall not be, in any way liable to the County in
connection with SNAP, except as otherwise provided in the contract creating the investment
program pool.

SUBJECT: Human Resources Committee Report
The HR Committee met in the First Floor Conference Room at 107 North Kent Street
on Friday, March 13 2015, at 8:00a.m. All members were present.
* ** Items Requiring Action`
1. The Committee recommends approval of the Employee of the Month award for March
and April. (See attachment).
2_ The Committee recommends approval to create the Research Manager
position within the Economic Development Authority.
The EDA Director requested a Research Manager position with his FY2016
budget request. It was determined that this is a newly developed position and
therefore, needs approval from the Board of Supervisors to be created and
established as a part of the County's list of approved positions. The funding for
this position has been included within the budget discussions and is separate
from this recommendation.
** *Items Not Requiring Action * **
1. The Committee met inclosed session pursuant to §2.2- 3711(A)(1) of the Code of
Virginia, 1950, as amended, for discussion and consideration of a personnel matter
involving a specific individual.
2. In the Committee's discussion on the proposed positions that were included in the
FY2106 budget cycle, the Committee supports the proposed use of fund balance for
the seventeen (17) Public Safety positions as outlined in the Assistant County
Administrator's memo dated March 2, 2015; memo attached.
3. Additionally, the Committee discussed their desire to play an active role in subsequent
year's budget cycle in regards to proposed positions. It was suggested that at the
beginning of next year's budget cycle, Department Heads have the opportunity to
present to the Committee their requests for new positions.
107 North Kent Street, Winchester, VA 22601
4. At the request of the Committee, Ms. Becky Hogan, our Clerk of Courts, presented an
overview of the objectives and responsibilities of the Clerk's Office. The presentation
also provided the Committee an understanding of her department's role, authority,
projects, and topics of importance within her department; handout attached.
5. In the Committee's discussion of the completed Salary Survey study, the Committee
will discuss at its next meeting the County's Compensation philosophy and future
policy on addressing employees' whose salary has reached the maximum of their
salary range.
6. The HR Director was asked to present an outline of a proposed Total Compensation
Study project for the Committee's next meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
The next HR Committee meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 10 2015.
