AI Summary
This bill amends the "Optional County Charter Law" to require county boards to establish the annual salary of certain county officers and employees, such as the county executive, supervisor, manager, board president, county commissioners, and administrative officers and department heads, through an ordinance, which is a formal written law. However, the bill clarifies that an ordinance is not necessary for any compensation that is not included in an officer's or employee's pensionable salary, meaning the portion of their earnings that counts towards their retirement benefits.
