Memorandum

To:	Kaye Carter

Fiscal Officer
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Merit Pay Raises
Date:	September 10, 1997

I am going to authorize merit pay increases for the following individuals for the percentages indicated.

Gail Arceneaux	4 percent

Sheila Collins	4 percent

John Daniels	0 percent

Dana Hamilton	*

Pam Norwood	4 percent

Lorraine Sapp	4 percent

Mary Jo Stephens	4 percent

Marti Terry	4 percent

If you have any questions about this matter, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.

*	I have recommended an 8 percent raise for Dana Hamilton effective October 1. I have not heard from the Court if they intend to approve that pay increase. Judge Johnson will return on Thursday and I will inquire about the pay increase at that time. It may be that the Court intends to take up that matter at the September Banc meeting. If the Court does not authorize the recommended raise, I will certainly give Dana a 4% raise.
