Explanation

(This amendment provides $125,000 from the general fund each year to increase the pay rates of current wage employees to a competitive level and increases the entry pay for wage-hour workers hired to fill future vacancies. In 2018, the Museum had a total of 13 wage hour employees in maintenance or interpretation who resigned for better employment opportunities (full time) or to return to school, which is more than half of the wage hour positions the Museum offers.)
