    Ms. Brown, the Airport Director, then provided an overview of her employment agreement, highlighting the provisions related to the evaluation process and the most recent revisions to the agreement between the YCAA and the Airport Director.

    Following a thorough discussion of the evaluation results and the revised employment agreement, the Committee reached consensus to recommend that the Board of Directors:
    - Approve a supplementary payment to Ms. Brown in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors.
