[CSL board] ACTION: senior tech grant / Fl wage

[Dan MacNeil]

We need to hire a senior tech as a condition of the Boomer grant. My 
contract with CS Dept ends Dec 31 and will not be renewed. I'd like us 
to hire me.

After the recent 14% Romney good-bye cut, the boomer grant budget is 
approximately:

	$12,600 	# senior tech
	$2,520		# equipment
	$1,680		# advertising/overhead

As a board member you should read the relatively short grant:

	# cover letter

There is a meeting at the Service Allience on January 05, when we will 
learn the details of the payout. I've (just) emailed a request for 
unofficial word on the payout dates.

If people are generally inclined to hire me, A board member should 
volunteer to prepare a contract for board approval and the signatures of 
me and our El Presidente and I

Past staff contracts are at:

David Siegal's contract is probably the best model. Given that the grant 
explicitly has overhead taken out. $12,600 may be a good number.
	
This weekend, I'll finish the financial reports. I'd be surprised if an 
updated financial picture effects this decision very much.

DAN DAY JOB
For 4 years, Tom Costello and Ken Kleiner have been kind enough to work 
very carefully with University/Union/State rules and paid me on the high 
end of the student worker pay scale.

This is no longer possible. My last day of work for the CS Dept is 12/31/06.

Sometimes the Lawd-Gee-z-ass has good timing.  Assuming board approval, 
6 months of work for the boomer grant will pay slightly more than I will 
have made these past 12 months. (I didn't work full-time over the summer)
