PAYMENTS TO COUNTIES HAVING CERTAIN OPTIONAL FORMS OF ORGANIZATION AND
GOVERNMENT (§ 15.2-1609.8)

The Compensation Board shall, in the manner provided by law, determine the
compensation and expense allowances for the sheriff, and his deputies, of each
county which has adopted or hereafter adopts any form of county organization and
government provided for in Chapter 5 (§ 15.2-500 et seq.), Chapter 6 (§
15.2-600 et seq.) or Chapter 8 (§ 15.2-800 et seq.) of this title, so long as
such county shall continue such form of county organization and government in
effect in such county, as if such county had not adopted any such form of
government, but the salaries and expense allowances shall be paid into the
general fund of the treasury of such county. The actual compensation and expense
allowance to be paid the sheriff, and his deputies, of any such county shall be
fixed as provided in the form of county organization and government adopted by
such county, without regard to the limits provided for in this article, and
shall be paid by such county.
		The provisions of this section shall also be applicable to any county which
adopts and has in effect in such county any other optional form of county
organization and government which may be provided by law, if such form of county
organization and government shall provide that the entire compensation of the
sheriff of such county shall be fixed by authorities of the county and paid by
the county.
