Memorandum

To:	All Clerk's Office Personnel
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Private Use of Long Distance Calls
Date:	March 12, 1998

Please review the attached memo and telephone bill which was sent to me by the Fiscal Office. If after you reviewed the bill you think that an appropriate response should be given to Kaye, please do so.

As I mentioned at the staff meeting on Wednesday, we need to be cognizant of using GIST only when we are actually making long distance calls. If you are not sure if the call is long distance, try the 404 or 770 area code first. Also, please use the telephone book, the Bar Directory or contact the State Bar before using Directory Assistance. I, am sure everyone is aware that GIST should not be used for personal calls. If you absolutely positively have to use GIST for a personal call, please do a memorandum to the Fiscal Office immediately after the call giving the date of the call, the number of the call and asking the fiscal office to flag that call so that you may reimburse the Court for the charges.

I hope you do not take offense at this memorandum, either mine or Kaye's. This is for informational purposes and, of course, we want to make sure that we are in compliance with the Court's policies and the State's policies on the private use of long distance calls. After you have reviewed this bill, please put a check mark by your initials and pass it on. After everyone in the Clerk's Office has had an opportunity to review it, please return it to me so that I may review as well.
