Paid staff proposal

Currently, all labor is volunteer-based. As instructed by the leadership committee from last year's meeting, we've prepared a proposal for adding paid staff.

We propose starting with a part-time staff person whose duties are maintaining the day-to-day tech support and maintenance duties of the organization. The staff person would start by answering support and as they develop a knowledge and comfort with the systems we have in place, would additionally:

• Contribute to the documentation of our systems
• Take on major projects (upgrades, new systems, etc.)

We anticipate a starting monthly salary of about $1500

Funding: With the current rise in our expenses mirroring our rise in income, we don't expect to have the money to begin this position until we re-negotiate our next colocation hosting contract with Bandcon.
