Kentucky Revised Statutes Title IX. Counties, Cities, and Other Local Units § 66.537.Employment of staff by board; administrative expenses

(1) The fiscal court of a county having a board may annually appropriate to the board funds for the board's administrative expenses; such an appropriation shall be distinct from appropriations to the board in accordance with its plan.

(2) Subject to funds made available under subsection (1), the board may employ a staff. Board members may be paid not more than five hundred dollars ($500) per year as salary. In addition, they may be allowed expenses they incur incident to the board's business.

(3) Any income received by the board from investments, any revenue received by the board from the operation of facilities or improvements, any appropriations for operations, any grants and subventions, and any other property or money received by the board from its operations under its plan shall be used strictly in furtherance of the plan rather than for the board's administrative expense.
