On or before November 20, 1924, the district attorney, who shall have been elected
and whose term begins January 1, 1925, shall prepare and file with the Board of Commissioner[s]
of Fulton County a detailed statement of the number and nature of assistants and clerks
and other employees needed and the amount necessary to be expended for such assistants,
clerks and other employees of said office for the year 1925, other than the assistant
district attorneys provided in section 10-114, and on or before November 20 thereafter shall file a like statement showing in detail
the requirements of said office for the year beginning January 1 thereafter. The board
of commissioners of said county shall, not later than the first Monday in December,
after the filing of said statement, take up and consider with the district attorney
the same and shall fix an aggregate sum to be expended for the period covered by said
statement as compensation for such assistants, clerks and other employees of said
office, having regard to the amount of labor necessary to be performed by those to
receive the same, the salary of such clerks and other employees to be paid monthly
at the same time as the salary of the district attorney is paid, the funds therefor
to be provided in the same manner as the other operating expenses of said court. The
district attorney shall have full power and authority to appoint and employ, to fix
the compensation of, and to discharge such assistants, clerks, and other employees
as above provided for, and the said compensation shall not exceed the sum allowed
by the said commissioners for said purpose. If at any time during the period for which
said salaries are fixed the commissioners should decide, after conference with the
district attorney, that the salaries of any of them are inadequate or excessive the
same may at any time during the year be readjusted to take effect during the succeeding
month after said adjustment.
