salary to be established by the board of county commissioners
and also appoint such other clerks, stenographers and assistants
as may be necessary to properly administer the affairs of any
county office.

     (f) Subject to legislative appropriation, the state will

legislative appropriation is insufficient to make all payments
authorized by this subsection, the state treasurer shall provide
a reduced payment by multiplying the payment authorized under
this subsection by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal
to the remaining legislative appropriation for the program for
the biennial budget period and the denominator of which is equal
to the total payments to be made under this subsection for the
current fiscal year.

counties may appoint one (1) or more assistants or staff
positions, whose salary shall be established by the board of

any duties statutorily delegated to any other county elected
official.
