CERTAIN COSTS AND EXPENSES TO BE APPORTIONED BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY (§
15.2-3830)

After a town becomes a city under this chapter, the costs and expenses of the
circuit court for the county, including jury costs, and the salaries of the
judge and clerk of the circuit court and the clerk, attorney for the
Commonwealth and sheriff of the county shall be borne by the city and county in
the proportion that the population of each bears to the aggregate population of
the city and county.
		Such expenses and costs shall include stationery, furniture, books, office
supplies and equipment for the court and clerk&#8217;s office; supplies, repairs
and alterations on the buildings used jointly by the city and county; and
insurance, fuel, water, lights, etc., used in and about the buildings and the
grounds thereto. The cost of any new building erected for the joint use of the
city and county shall be provided for in like manner. However, in the case of
buildings used jointly by the City of Covington and Alleghany County, no repairs
or alterations shall be made to any such building, and no new building shall be
erected without the approval of the governing body of both the city and the
county. If such governing bodies cannot agree, relevant controversies shall be
resolved in the manner provided by § 15.2-3829.
