SECTION 69990-69991

69990. In each county with a population of more than 70,000 and
less than 100,000, as determined by the 1940 federal census, to
assist the court in the transaction of its judicial business, a
majority of the judges of the superior court for such county may
appoint as many regular official phonographic reporters as necessary
to report the proceedings in the court. The number of reporters so
appointed shall not exceed at any one time the number of offices of
judge provided by law for the court. The reporters shall hold office
during the pleasure of a majority of the judges of said court.

69991. The duties of official reporters appointed pursuant to
Section 69990 shall be performed as elsewhere provided by law. As
full compensation for taking notes in criminal cases in the superior
court each reporter shall receive a monthly salary of one thousand
eighty-one dollars ($1,081), and the fee for reporting testimony and
proceedings in civil contested cases is seventy-five dollars ($75) a
day, or any fractional part thereof, and for the purposes of
retirement, the compensation of each reporter shall be deemed to be
the total of all per diem and transcription fees paid by the county
to all of the reporters of the superior court for all phonographic
reporting services, divided by the number of superior court official
reporters, plus his salary. All other fees of such reporters shall be
as elsewhere provided by law. In cases where it is necessary to
appoint a pro tempore reporter, he shall be allowed the fees
elsewhere provided by law.
