welcomed to their first meeting.
P.J. and Joe reported that the commission’s table at the State of the City event didn’t get a lot
of traffic, but they felt that having representation at the event is an important part of being
transparent and available to the community.
Julie Pierce submitted a funding request for Fairhope West Elementary, for the purpose of
increasing the pay previously approved for 8 part-time instructors. The request is for $10,000 to
come from 3-mill funds carried over from the 2020-2021 school year and for $12,400 to come
from 3-mill funds carried over from the 2021-2022 school year. The request for a total of
$22,400 was approved. (Request attached)
The draft of guidelines for reserve funds and for funds carried over from previous years was
shared by P.J. and Joe. Several points were raised and discussed. It was decided that the
document will be revised to reflect a few minor changes that were suggested, then it will be
brought up for approval by the commission at the next meeting.
