and functions.

(2) The salary of the state engineer shall be fixed, within the authority

compensation adequate to attract and hold in regular employment a person
qualified to carry out the functions, duties, and responsibilities of the office, and
shall be paid out of general funds of the state as the salaries of the executive
officers of the state are paid.
