Apt. 87 Flint Ridge <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina <br /> August 4, 1977 <br /> Mr. R. Wayn Weston, Director <br /> Orange Coun y Recreation and Parks Dept. <br /> 300 West Tr on Street <br /> Hillsboroug , North Carolina <br /> Dear Mr. We ton: <br /> I came to w rk for the Orange County Recreation and Parks <br /> Department n July 7, 1975 for a salary previously quoted <br /> by you to be $9,500. After being in the position for four <br /> weeks before I was placed on the county pay roll, I was <br /> informed by you that my salary would not be $9,500 per year <br /> but $8,700. You also said you felt sure there would be a <br /> merit raise after six months. The six months came and passed <br /> and there wa no mention of a raise. At the beginning of <br /> the fiscal y ar 76/77, my salary was finally raised to the <br /> sum of $9,98 . This was $389.00 more than I had been promised <br /> by you originally in our verbal contract for the previous <br /> fiscal year. <br /> Also during he fiscal year 76/77, I was informed by you that <br /> there was no money in the budget for reimbursement for <br /> travel either inside or outside the county. Consequently, <br /> I drove some 12,500 miles for which I dial not receive <br /> reimbursement. .But, even though you had a county vehicle <br /> for your own travel, you received additional funds for <br /> occasions in which you used your personal automobile. <br /> In January of 1977, Betty McDade Oakley and Jesse Pratt were <br /> brought from the Manpower pay roll to the Orange County pay <br /> roll at the ame rate of pay I was receiving s Assistant <br /> Director. When g en I inquired about this, you stated that the <br /> county was in the process of converting to the State pay <br /> roll scale and that my salary would probably be upgraded in <br /> March. Marc also came and passed and nothing happened. <br />
