Frank Clifton said Durham Tech is the primary component in industrial business <br /> recruitment from a training perspective. He said Durham Tech has worked closely with <br /> Economic Development Director Steve Brantley in reference to industrial business recruitment. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin made reference to the last page of the handout in the packet <br /> about funding needs and the last bullet point regarding a 2% increase for salary for security <br /> and maintenance. He asked if the positions funded by the County were being paid sufficiently <br /> and if the 2% increase should be given regardless of whether the State funding happens or <br /> not. <br /> Dr. Ingram said the employees are Durham Tech employees regardless of the source <br /> of funding. He said they try not to draw distinction among them as it relates to the funding of <br /> salaries. He said most of the employees funded by county funds are <br /> technical/paraprofessional in nature. He said they need to have funds to pay for the inequities <br /> that arise and they are mindful of these situations. <br /> 2.
