AN ORDINANCE TO DECREASE THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL SALARIES

AND TO ESTABLISH ANNUAL SALARIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA FOR

FISCAL YEAR 2010

WHEREAS, Virginia Code § 15.2-1414.3 authorizes the Board of Supervisors of Augusta County, Virginia (the “Board”), to establish annually, by ordinance, maximum annual salaries for members of the Board, subject to the limitations contained therein.

WHEREAS, the Board previously exercised such authority under Virginia Code § 14.1-46.01:1, predecessor to § 15.2-1414.3, by its enactment on June 28, 1995, of an ordinance which established the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board in the amount of Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($9,000), for fiscal year 1996, and each subsequent fiscal year.

WHEREAS, such exercise was consistent with the limitations contained in Virginia Code § 14.1-46.01:1, inasmuch as the population of Augusta County for fiscal year 1996 was between 50,000 and 79,999.

WHEREAS, such ordinance also enacted § 16-3 of The Code of the County of Augusta, Virginia, as amended, which established the annual salaries of the members of the Board, in the amount of Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($9,000), for fiscal year 1996, and each subsequent fiscal year.

WHEREAS, subsection 2 of § 14.1-46.01:1 permitted, and subsection 2 of § 15.2-1414.3 permits, the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board to be adjusted in any year or years, by ordinance, by an inflation factor not to exceed five percent (5%).

WHEREAS, by ordinance enacted by the Board on May 7, 1997, the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board were increased to Nine Thousand Four Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($9,450.00) for fiscal year 1998, and each subsequent fiscal year, and § 16-3 was amended to establish the annual salaries of the members of the Board in the same amount, for fiscal year 1998, and each subsequent fiscal year.

WHEREAS, by ordinance enacted by the Board on May 6, 1998, the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board were increased to Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Two and 50/100 Dollars ($9,922.50) for fiscal year 1999, and each subsequent fiscal year, and § 16-3 was further amended to establish the annual salaries of the members of the Board in the same amount for fiscal year 1999, and each subsequent fiscal year.

WHEREAS, by ordinance enacted by the Board on June 14, 2000, the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board were increased to Ten Thousand Four Hundred Eighteen and 50/100 Dollars ($10,418.50) for fiscal year 2001, and each subsequent fiscal year, and § 16-3 was further amended to establish the annual salaries of the members of the Board in the same amount for fiscal year 2001, and each subsequent fiscal year.

WHEREAS, by ordinance enacted by the Board on May 2, 2007, the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board were increased to Ten Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Nine and 42/100 Dollars ($10,939.42) for fiscal year 2007, and each subsequent fiscal year, and § 16-3 was further amended to establish the annual salaries of the members of the Board in the same amount for fiscal year 2007, and each subsequent fiscal year.

WHEREAS, due to the present economic conditions, it is now in the best interests of Augusta County to adjust the maximum annual salaries of the members of the Board for fiscal year 20110, by decreasing by a factor of five percent (5%), as provided in subsection 2 of § 15.2-1414.3.

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board to establish the salary of the members of the Board for fiscal year 2010, in accordance with the procedures established by § 15.2-1414.3.

For fiscal year 2010, the maximum annual salaries payable to members of the Board pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1414.3(2) shall be uniformly decreased by a factor of five percent (5%); and, inasmuch as the current population of Augusta County is between 50,000 and 79,000, the maximum salary payable for fiscal year 2010 under § 15.2-1414.3(1) to members of the Board shall, therefore, be Ten Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($10,392.00).

2. The annual salaries of the members of the Board for fiscal year 2010 is hereby established pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1414.3(1) to be Ten Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($10,392.00), except that the annual salary of the Chairman of the Board shall be Twelve Thousand One Hundred Ninety-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($12,192.00) and the annual salary of the Vice-Chairman of the Board shall be Eleven Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($11,592.00), as provided by § 15.2-1414.3(3).

3. Subsection A of § 16-3 of the Code of Augusta County, Virginia, be, and hereby is, amended to read as follows:

The annual salary allowed each member of the board of supervisors shall be Ten Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Nine and 42/100 Dollars ($10,939.42) Ten Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($10,392.00).
