Re: 198th District Attorney's
Leg Ass stant salary adjustment

Zhis letter is a request for a pay increase to $500 per month prorated
betrreen the five (5) counties in the 198th District for Janet L. Jones, Legal
Assistant.
Since the request for Mrs. Jones's salary increase in August, 1979, our
office has endeavored to pay for her raises from our State buclgetacxount to
avoid an increase fran the counties but our office has found it necessary to
retain another full time secretary because of the case load in our district
and our State budget cannot handle any additional expenses.
Based on the 1980 census population figures of your county, the Kerr
County percentage is 61.44 which equals an increase in the monthly contri-
bution to the District Attorney's Legal Assistant salary to the amount of
$307.20.
I am attaching a letter received in our office from the Comptroller of
Public Accounts in reference to the question of the amount of salary that
may be contributed by the counties to the District Attorney's staff, dated
Novend~er 9, 1982. This salary request would have been made August 1982 but
inasmuch as the reply to the question was just received, I would appreciate
it very much if the salary increase to Janet L. Jones be effective December
1, 1982.
Thank you for your consideration iri this matter.

Dear Pls. Jones:
This letter is in reference to your question concerning the $400.00
maximum salary to be paid secretaries of a Judicial District. You
also mentioned the fact that it may be an old law.
Our legal staff has researched the statutes and have determined that
Vernons' Annoted Civil Statutes Article 332a rules in that it repeals
all previous law concerning salaries to a prosecutors staff, secretaries,
assistants, etc. The article states, the Prosecutor may set these Sala-
ries and they would require the approval of the Commissioners Court.
We hope this reply will be of some assistance to you. Should we be of
further service, please call toll-free to 1-800-252-5555, ext. 202.
Sincerely
