Supervisors Delay County Salary Payments in Yuma
The Yuma county board deferred salaries of county officials due to legal uncertainty. An opinion from the county attorney advised salaries be based on the 1901 statute, tied to a Mohave case, but allow formal actions to set pay. The county attorney later received guidance from the state attorney general urging the board to fix salaries until a definite action is taken. Deputy salaries were paid while the matter remained unresolved.
