...f the juvenile court judge be set at a certain amount, to be paid by the Consolidated Government. The recipients of the order filed a notice of appeal. See Darden v. Ravan,
232 Ga. 756, 758 (1) (208 SE2d 846) (1974).
The issues are governed by OCGA §
15-11-3, which provides for the creation of circuit-wide juvenile court judgeships and provides a method for compensation of juvenile court judges. The recipients of the order argue that the judges of the superior court cannot fix the salary of the juvenile court judge without the approval of the Columbus Council. They rely upon the following language of OCGA §
15-11-3 (d) (1): “Except as otherwise provided by law, the compensation of the juvenile judge shall be set by the ....
...for which [the juvenile judge] is appointed.”
The superior court judges urge that the above language applies only when circuit-wide juvenile judges have been selected, and until that occurs, the method of compensation of the juvenile court judge is as it was before July 1, 1983. They cite language of OCGA §
15-11-3 (b): “All juvenile court judgeships, their methods of compensation, selection, and operation, established on or before July 1, 1983, shall continue until such time as a circuit-wide juvenile court judge is appointed ....
...nsation of the juvenile court judge was set prior to July 1, 1983. See Ga. L. 1951, pp. 292-293, § 3.
Because no circuit-wide juvenile court judge has been appointed, the method of fixing compensation employed prior to July 1, 1983 continues. OCGA §
15-11-3 (d) (l)’s plain language is that the approval of the governing authority is required only when another method has not been provided by law.2 OCGA §
15-11-3 (b) clearly states that in a county where a circuit-wide judge has not been appointed, such as Muscogee, the method of compensation remains as it was prior to July 1, 1983, and that method did not require approval of the Columbus Council....
