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. Effective: July 15, 2010
