CLIFFORD JANES �� (,�� f��r JUDGE � wy— � � �i� ,i�2'/vG�'-'�� . c/ August 13, 1969 The Honorable Thomas R. Byxne, Mayor and The Atembers of the City Council , City of St. Paul, Aiinnesota Dear Sirs: As Chief Judge of the Municipal CaurL of the Ci�y of St. Paul, I fornally call to your attention the recently enacted and approved amendment to Subdivision 3 of Section 488A. 22 of Minnesota Statutes , relating to compensation of � _ court reporters of this Court. Previously this Court's six reporters were comp�n- sat�d in accordance with las�r as unclassified members of the s�aff of the Clexk of t+iunicipal Court. The new statute makes their comPensation statutory, in that the statute pravides "The city council shall fix and establish the salary of the .- municipal court renort�rs at an aryount not �exceeding thc annual salary of court reporters in the district court of the second judicial district." Currently, the annual salary of court repoxters in the District Court at the Second Judicial District, as established by Chapter 798 of the Laws of I969 , is fixed generally at $12 ,500 per year, exclusive of insurance benefits and severance pay. Cleaxl}�, court rePorters of this court must be paid at the rate of �12,500 a year in order to adequate?y compensat� them for t;�eir servic�s and to ma}:e it ;�fl�si'��e to find a replacement whenever that might became necessary. (It sliould be reco�nized that upon the court reporters af this court receiving the same salary as court reportors in the District Court they still i,�ill not have total compensation equal to that of those in the District Court, as the court reporters in the District Court generally, over ar.d above their salary, rec�ive ` � � , . - � y (� � �- � , � � v �:y,;j � � �,5,,..,,., �, �. . � , - M '.. ti , � fees for many more, and many longer, transcripts . Such tran- scripts are paid for by the litigants , which oftentimes - such as where the State is prosecuting a case or a party is indigent - are paid by public funds in addition to salary) . - While this new law establishes statutory salaries , thus apparently not subject to bud�et Iimitations , I do noint out that Mr. Pau1 Preiner, the Clerk of this Court , has informed me that there are su£ficient funcls in the 1969 budget for his office to fulfill the payment at the salary scale authorized by the legislature 's recent enactr�ent. � My understanc��ng is that it was the intention of the legislature that the salaries of this Court's reporters be set on the basis requested. It wauld be appreciated if the City Council would fix and establish the salary of the hiunicipal caurt reporters at the amount af "the annual salary of the court report�rs in the district court of the second judicial district.
