In counties containing a population of over 250,000, excluding urban-county
governments or consolidated local governments, for the performance of the duties
of his office, each constable shall be exclusively compensated by a salary of nine
thousand six hundred dollars ($9,600) per annum to be paid in equal monthly
installments out of the county treasury.
Each constable and deputy constable, if deputy constables have been authorized
under KRS 70.320, shall daily deliver or cause to be delivered to the recorder for
the justice's district in which he holds office all moneys received or collected by
him by virtue of his office, or the recorder may receive such moneys for the officer,
and in either event the recorder shall daily issue to each officer a receipt for moneys
received from or for him. Each recorder shall keep such records of each daily
transaction, in such manner and form, and showing such information, as the fiscal
court of the county requires.
All moneys received or collected on account of or resulting from the performance
of the duties or the exercise of the powers incident to the offices of constable and
deputy constable, if deputy constables have been authorized under KRS 70.320,
shall be paid into the county treasury.
Before the tenth day of each calendar month the recorder for each justice's district
shall prepare a sworn statement showing the correct amounts of money received or
collected during the next preceding calendar month from the administration of the
offices of constable and deputy constable, if deputy constables have been
authorized under KRS 70.320. The statement shall be in the form and shall disclose
the information required by the fiscal court. Each monthly statement, and as many
copies thereof as the fiscal court may require, shall be subscribed and sworn to by
the recorder. On or before the tenth day of each calendar month each recorder shall
deliver one (1) or more copies of the monthly statement to the fiscal court, or such
person as the fiscal court designates, and at the same time deliver by certified
check, payable to the order of the county treasurer, the total sum of money received
by the recorder under the provisions of this section during the next preceding
calendar month. During the interims between such monthly statements each
recorder shall safely preserve the funds coming into his hands by virtue of this
section in a bank designated by the justice of the peace, which bank shall duly
execute a depository bond in a sufficient amount to cover monthly balances.
