08/14/06 Finance Committee Meeting

Meeting called to order at 4:45 pm.

Reviewed Payroll Register for July 2006: (Net Pay)
Jon Evenson: $489.45
June Siegler: $359.40

Attached to Evenson’s payroll statement was a copy of his cell phone bill of $81.37. Spyros Heniadis raised the question as to how they determined reimbursement for Evenson’s cell phone usage. They were not sure, and noted to ask about it at full board meeting.

EDIT: I realize the above statement about Evenson's cell phone bill was misleading. The cell phone bill attached was his personal cell phone bill, and his earning statement listed the previous two months of reimbursement for cell phone usage at $50 each month. His entire cell phone bill is not being paid by the Village of Biron. As noted in the 8/14/06 Village Board Meeting Post, under finance committee, his cell phone bill is reimbursed based upon his subjective request based on his knowledge of his cell phone usage.
