[CABARRUSCOUNTY] <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: Frank Clifton, Jr. <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Blair Bennett <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />February 14, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject: Letter from Yvonne Higgins <br /> <br /> Per your request, I passed along a copy of the letter mailed to Mrs. Carpenter <br />from Yvonne Higgins, to Gene Jordan for his comment. Mr. Jordan informed me that up <br />until the late 80's non-certified employees could receive both the State annual COLA and <br />merit step increases. Sometime after that date the State froze the merits for non-certified <br />employees, and would no longer experience rate them. Approximately three years ago the <br />State did set a minimum hourly rate of $8.00 per hour for bus drivers. Our school system <br />was already above that rate so this had relatively no impact. Action by the State would be <br />required to change or improve this situation. <br /> <br />Finance Department <br /> <br /> <br />
