NOTE: The cost of the merit pool for CP/M faculty will be an agenda item for the Joint Committee in the coming year.  If agreement is reached on a figure, that new figure will form the basis for calculation of the librarians' merit pool for 2003/04 and 2004/05.  In the absence of agreement, the cost of 2.43% (1999-2002) will be used.
