The additional clerk time was $2 , 340 . 00 for 10 hours per week at $4 . 50 per hour . Judge Eaton ' s Court in Cortlandville is an active court and he is familiar with this court and . also with Jean Ryan . He felt that anyone with her years of experience which is 14 years in the Justice system should get between $14-, 000 - and $15 , 000 a year . The Town of .Lansing started their nera court_ clerk in. 1984 at $12 , 000 a year and in 1985 her salary is to be $13 , 000 . 00 . With that experience he feels that Mrs Ryan should get $ 5 . 80 per hour or $12 , 000 . 00 a year . The additional clerk time is consolidated- in th"e budget . ' 'Judge Sweetland would like to- suggest or request is that Mrs: Ryan be considered at $ 5 . 80 per hour and the additional Clerk time be cut to 150 hours for the year at his discretion . According to the budget it is 10 hours per week and there are sometimes that he does not need the 10 hours per week and at other times he could use 30 hours per week additional depending on what is going on . He has no latitude if he is reading this right in the budget . Supv_ Cotterill - we put somuch in the budget as long as you . don ' t go over that amount we will not say anything . Judge- Sweetland - if he could have- 150 hours additional time at $ 4 .. 50 per hour he would have enough so that Mrs Ryan would 'get her vacation , which she is ,entitiled to . 3 weeks , and he would have some extra and still get the work done . Jean and I: can ' can • do the trork' :if he can have the money that has been allocated for both the clerk and the additional time distributed differently . The amount of money has not been changed at all . The distribution been changed slightly and he would give Jean a raise which he feels that she is entitled to . There was some discussion . Clm Evans wondered about the statue of Snyder Hill Water Dist . Supv Cotterill - . said he would check with Atty Perkins. . . There was some discussion about Veterans exemption and Supv Cotterill said that he would check on it .
