CONTRACTS BY CITIES (§ 17.1-290)

Subject to the approval of the Compensation Board, the council of any city may

allowed in § 17.1-287 and for the city&#8217;s pro rata part of the expense of
the office approved by the State Compensation Board, in lieu of fees and
commissions prescribed by law for services performed for the city and such
contracts may relieve the officer from collecting such fees and commissions. In
the event such contract is entered into and approved by the Compensation Board,
the officer and the city shall not be liable to the Commonwealth for the failure
of such officer to collect fees and commissions prescribed by law for services
