Wyoming § 5-1-110

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 18: Counties
• Ch. 3: COUNTY OFFICERS
• Art. 1: GENERALLY

Text

(b) The salaries provided in subsection (a) of this
section shall compensate county officers for all of the duties
prescribed by law to be performed by them, and no such officer
shall receive from federal, state or county funds any additional
or separate salary or compensation other than as above
specified. This restriction shall not apply to traveling and
other expenses nor to compensation allowed for office or house
rent when expressly provided by law nor to other benefits
provided to all employees of the respective county.
(c) Each county commissioner will be paid such
compensation as the board of county commissioners determines by
resolution. No county commissioner may receive more than the
lowest compensation paid any elected county officer in the same
county who serves full-time as specified in W.S. 18-3-106.
(d) The board of county commissioners shall meet not later
than June 1, 1978, and on or before the same date each four (4)
years thereafter for the purpose of setting their salaries for
the following four (4) years, commencing January 1. The salary
amount, when determined, cannot be increased during the period
for which established. In addition thereof, each commissioner
shall be paid his actual expenses while away from his home on
official county business and not exceeding the same mileage
allowance as received by state employees for each mile actually
and necessarily traveled other than in a county owned vehicle in
going to and returning from the meetings of the board and in the
discharge of the duties of his office. Only one (1) mileage
allowance shall be allowed per vehicle per trip. No
commissioner's salary or expense for any purpose shall be
charged to any account other than the county commissioner's
account in the county budget. No commissioner shall be allowed
any other salary from the county other than that herein
stipulated.
(e) By and with the consent of the board of county
commissioners of the respective counties, the county assessor,
county clerk, clerk of the district court, county and
prosecuting attorney and county treasurer in each county in the
state may appoint one (1) or more deputies for each of the
above-named offices who shall receive an annual salary of not
less than twenty percent (20%) of the above named officer's
salary to be established by the board of county commissioners
and also appoint such other clerks, stenographers and assistants
as may be necessary to properly administer the affairs of any
county office.
(f) Subject to legislative appropriation, the state will
pay a portion of each county and prosecuting attorney and
assistant county and prosecuting attorney's salary as provided
in this subsection. The state will pay fifty thousand dollars
($50,000.00) or fifty percent (50%) of the salary of the county
and prosecuting attorney, whichever is less, per year to each
qualifying county. The state will pay thirty thousand dollars
($30,000.00) or fifty percent (50%) of the salary of each
assistant to the county and prosecuting attorney, whichever is
less, per year. Payments under this section shall be made
annually on or before June 30. In any fiscal year in which the
legislative appropriation is insufficient to make all payments
authorized by this subsection, the state treasurer shall provide
a reduced payment by multiplying the payment authorized under
this subsection by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal
to the remaining legislative appropriation for the program for
the biennial budget period and the denominator of which is equal
to the total payments to be made under this subsection for the
current fiscal year.
(g) The board of county commissioners of the respective
counties may appoint one (1) or more assistants or staff
positions, whose salary shall be established by the board of
county commissioners, as may be necessary to properly administer
the affairs of the board of county commissioners. Persons
appointed to an assistant or staff position shall not perform
any duties statutorily delegated to any other county elected
official.
