Agenda item #005:<\/p>\n
Discussion-
\n\u201cWhy not hire a professional instead? Problems with how they are going about it. Has anyone discussed this with District 31?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was said at Area, was that the district\u2019s responsibility to find a translator, a professional. District 31 has been talked to about this, they are the ones that brought it to Report & Charter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf district 31 is paying for the translator, why should the Area pay for the hotel\/mileage?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hotel\/mileage would be too big of a burden on the district, so it would be helpful if the Area could uptake some of the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n
