BRIEN RUIZ: We have a quorum. Before we get into the agenda, I’d like everybody to the welcome Chief Marty and Chief Yates. They are going to be our two new members added to the board once the Senate approves everybody. They’ve got to reapprove all of us, too, at the same time. But we are sitting members so that's why we can conduct business today, but all of us are all up for reappointment, too. So we all will hopefully all get our letters around the same time. If not, the board will continue to do business until we all get our reappointment letters and I will notify Candy when that will be in effect. So we are planning on trying to have a meeting in April at our legislative conference which is the 14th, 15th and 16th of April. I talked to Candy and I talked with Chad, and it's going to happen, but we just don't know what date yet that it’s going to be finalized.

OLD BUSINESS:
Candy Diez informed the board that Joe Williams is currently on supplemental payroll, and he was paid
$7,200 on June 30, 2023 to cover FY2023.
Candy asked the board to define the two‐year back pay limit agreed upon at the previous meeting. Is the
limit applied based on the eligibility effective date or the fiscal year?
The board confirmed that the two‐year back pay is based on the eligibility date.
In reference to a two‐year back payment rule, Ronnie Schillace asked for the attorney’s opinion on the
statute that states that payments cannot exceed of $10,000 at any one time. Attorney Marlon C. Battley
will look into it.
No action is required in Joe Williams’ case. His Act 110 had previously been denied by the board.
