POWER <br />ATTORNEY AT LAW <br />FEB 19187 <br />REer--W D <br />8MRD CCUMY <br />COMMISSIONERS <br />Mrs. Carolyn Eggert <br />1840 - 25th Street <br />County Commissioner's Office <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />In Re: Recent Committe meeting <br />Dear Carolyn: <br />BOOK� FSr- <br />DISTRIBUTION LIST f TELEPHONE <br />Commissioners C- ' Ge 305-569-6940 <br />Administrator <br />Attorney - <br />Personnel <br />Public Works <br />Community Dev. <br />Utilities <br />I want to once again express my appreciation for the interest <br />that you have showed in our Law Library situation. A Law Library <br />is a benefit to all the members in the community and I'm sure <br />that you recognize that fact. The purpose of this letter is just <br />to confirm the matters that we discussed which are as follows: <br />1. Law Librarian's salary - Our Law Librarian, Cindy, <br />currently is employed in a dual part-time status. She works from <br />8:30 to 10:00 at the County library, from 10:00 to 4:00 at our <br />Law Library, and from 4:00 to 5:00 back at the County library. <br />She receives two checks and is classified as a part-time <br />employee. Her rate of pay is at $4.50 an hour for her Law <br />Library work and $5.42 an hour for her County library work. I <br />would propose that she be raised to $6.00 an hour and be <br />designated a full-time County employee. <br />We would further request that she work 9:00 to 5:00 in the Law <br />Library so that she can, among other things, try to curb the <br />theft problem that occasionally presents itself and also to <br />assist non -lawyer members of the community that come in to use <br />our Law Library. In the event that we cannot succeed in having <br />her placed on a 40 hour a week status, then the second <br />..alternative would be for her to continue to follow the same <br />approximate schedule that she currently does in regard to the <br />division of her duties. <br />2. The purchase of a typewriter. At this point, the Law <br />Library has no typewriter. On several occasions, I have had to <br />take my typewriter over to Cindy so that she could type the <br />necessary correspondence to book companies and other such <br />business entities. We would request that, as permitted under the <br />County ordinance, the County Commission requisition $200-$300 so <br />that we can purchase a typewriter. In the alternative, we would <br />request that the County Commission determine if there is a <br />typewriter somewhere within the system_that is currently not <br />being used that could be placed in the County Law Library. <br />In closing, let me again state that in the event that the Board <br />wishes for me to appear before them on behalf of our Bar Associa- <br />tion, I will be more than happy to do so. I recollect also that <br />Judge Vocelle stated that he would be happy to appear before the <br />County Commission and answer any questions that they might have. <br />Thank you for your attention in this matter. <br />Si4c ely, <br />80 <br />John Power <br />
