SYLLABUS:                                                               2019-001


       1.    A county engineer who has appointed draftsmen of county tax maps
             pursuant to R.C. 5713.10 may not transfer to a county auditor the authority
             to supervise and pay the appointed draftsmen.

       2.    A county auditor may not appoint draftsmen of county tax maps or
              supervise and fix the salaries of such draftsmen.

       3.    The salaries of draftsmen of county tax maps may not be paid from the
             county's real estate assessment fund established under R.C. 325.3 1(A).

       4.    The salaries of draftsmen appointed by a county engineer pursuant to R.C.
              5713.10 shall be paid out of the general county fund, biweekly from the
              county treasury, upon the warrant of the county auditor. The amount of
              the biweekly payment shall be adjusted so that the total amount paid to
              these draftsmen over the course of one year is equal to the amount the
              draftsmen would receive if the draftsmen were paid semimonthly.
