SECTION 13.05. SALARIES AND BONDS.

   The Council shall fix the salary or compensation of each officer, employee and member of any board or commission of the Municipality. Any such person may be required by the Council, from time to time, to furnish a bond or bonds for the faithful performance of his duties in such amount as it may determine and with such surety as it may approve, and may provide that the premium for any such bond be paid by the Municipality.

   Upon the effective date of passage of this amendment Council shall, by ordinance, determine and fix the salary or compensation for elected and appointed officials under the authority of Article XVIII, Section 3, of the Ohio Constitution.

   For each absence of the Councilman from a regular meeting of Council, unless authorized by the affirmative vote of at least four other members thereof, there shall be deducted a sum equal to two percent (2%) of the annual salary of such Councilman.

   Persons filling vacancies for the unexpired terms of elective officers shall receive the compensation theretofore fixed for such elective office.

   The compensation of officers and employees may be fixed and changed at any time in the discretion of the Council.

   All fees pertaining to any office shall be paid into the municipal treasury with the exception of notary public fees, fees collected by registrar or deputy registrar, fees of the Mayor for solemnizing marriages and authenticating documents other than those of the Municipality.
