64.527 Annual computation of consumer price index for determination of rate
of adjustment of compensation of certain elected county officials.
In order to equate the compensation of jailers who do not operate full service jails,
constables in counties having an urban-county form of government, justices of the
peace, county commissioners, and coroners with the purchasing power of the dollar,
the Department for Local Government shall compute by the second Friday in
February of every year the annual increase or decrease in the consumer price index
of the preceding year by using 1949 as the base year in accordance with Section
246 of the Constitution of Kentucky which provides that the above elected officials
shall be paid at a rate no greater than seven thousand two hundred dollars ($7,200)
per annum. The Department for Local Government shall notify the appropriate
governing bodies charged by law to fix the compensation of the above elected
officials of the annual rate of compensation to which the elected officials are entitled
in accordance with the increase or decrease in the consumer price index. Upon
notification from the Department for Local Government, the appropriate governing
body may set the annual compensation of the above elected officials at a rate no
greater than that stipulated by the Department for Local Government.
