Atlantic County will have two-third of the PIC board and be granted recipient of federal, state-administered funds But Cape May County will be a grant subrecipient and continue to operate an office in the pounty. John Bettis, director of the merged PIC, said it’s been estimated that Atlantic County will receive $1.6 million. Cape May County $850,000, for a 12-month . fiscal year. The formula used Ur determine funding is based on local unemployed and the number of economically disadvantaged. A Cape May County PIC news release said its programs “will be planned and administered by the Cape May County PIC under the direction of the chief elected official (Freeholder Director Anthony Catanoso).” •‘THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE going to have some problems," said Bettis.

with Mr. (Charles) Wor thington (the Atlantic County executive). "We’re going to work together," said Bettis, "but we’re not going to debate everything.” Cape May County PIC member Marie Britton was elected vice chairman of the new, joint PIC at a meeting Sept. 14. William S. Cowart Jr. of Atlantic County was elected chairman. The 33-member PIC has 22 from Atlantic County, 11 from Cape May County. Cape May County planning director Elwood Jarmer; George Plewa, executive director of the Jersey Cape Diagnostic

Training and Opportunity Center; and Alfred Cade, senior vice president of Caesars Boardwalk Regeftcy Hotel Casino, were named to a bylaws committee. Jarmer told the Herald and Lantern that the committee agreed to .set a quorum at 70 percent of the members and will recommend a seven-member executive committee. PIC’s first meeting was held at the Atlantic County Community College. Subsequent meetings may be rotated between counties, Bettis said. The state intends to offer a training course for PIC members in the next week to 10 days, sources said.

At Last — Pay Hike For Courts Workers

By EJ. DUFFY COURT HOUSE - Sixtytwo union employes in the county Superior Court system will pick up fatter pay envelopes now that the county freeholders have ratified a new two-year contract. Members of Local 1983, Civil and Public Employes of Cape May County, had been working without a contract since their last agreement expired in December. The freeholders considered but tabled action on a pending contract late last month because it included a clause which designated the Superior Court assignment judge as the workers’ employer. Siding with the county constitutional officers (sheriff, surrogate and clerk), the freeholders decided to sit on the contract. But that decision left the employes without a pay hike and nobody was happy. Since the constitutional officers have taken the dispute to court, the freeholders decided last week to ratify the contract "without prejudice" to the county officials legal position — “so that the court employes can get paid," in the words of Freeholder Gerald Thornton. "RIGHTFULLY, what we should do is enter that suit,” Sam Kelly, union business manager, told Thornton, "but if I do I’ll just bog it down in the courts." Local 1983 ratified the

contract before Kelly signed the pact with the freeholders at their regular meeting. He said he agrees with the constitutional officers’ coo ten ti on that they, not Superior Court Assignment Judge Philip A. Gruccio, are the union workers' employers. According to Kelly, the workers can expect retroactive pay from January through August. Workers on the top rungs of their employment ladder will see at least five percent pay hikes, Kelly added, while those on the lower rungs will see as much as 21Y4 percent increases.
