        Rationale: 
All Board members have been made aware of the current state of FLSA.  Freeman prepared for a change that was to take place on December 1, 2016 and now there has been a change to this requirement.  The question becomes does Freeman stay the course as if the change was made or go back to the original negotiated contract with our Business Officer and wait to see what happens with FLSA?
