[Board-2018] PYC Salaries

[Jeremy Small]

I agree with Scott, just like with the new Steward we are looking to
negotiate for the position.  Given it is so close to the season we may need
to go higher than we want but there should be a clear understanding that if
we need to go to the top end $20 is maxed out and there is no raise coming
in the future.  In my opinion, Mike has not risen to the exceptional status
as a dockmaster, given the discussion around children of members using the
club and the dinghies issue, these are situations that should have been
handled by either the Dockmaster and Steward.
