The

16
This
bill
relates
to
methods
of
determining
compensation
for
17
elected
county
officers.
18
Under
current
law,
each
county
has
a
county
compensation
19
board
that
prepares
a
recommended
compensation
schedule
for
20
elected
county
officers
that
the
county
board
of
supervisors
21
then
reviews.
Current
law
provides
limitations
that
both
the
22
county
compensation
board
and
board
of
supervisors
must
adhere
23
to
in
determining
the
final
compensation
schedule.
24
The
bill
allows
a
board
of
supervisors
to
vote
to
establish
25
a
county
compensation
board.
The
county
compensation
board
26
shall
be
composed
as
provided
under
current
law.
The
board
of
27
supervisors
may
also
vote
to
dissolve
a
county
compensation
28
board.
The
board
of
supervisors
is
responsible
for
preparing
29
a
compensation
schedule
if
the
board
of
supervisors
has
not
30
established
a
county
compensation
board.
The
bill
repeals
31
the
limitations
that
the
county
compensation
board
and
the
32
board
of
supervisors
must
adhere
to
in
determining
the
final
33
compensation
schedule
and
makes
conforming
changes.
