A coroner in a county with a population of one hundred	1108

provided in division (A) of this section and in section 325.18 of	1119
the Revised Code, for the purpose of concluding the affairs of the	1120

325.11, 325.14, and 325.15 of the Revised Code, when computing a	1164
salary for any elected county officer under any of those sections,	1165
if the population range for the class under which the officer is	1166
to be compensated is not the same as the population range for that	1167
class for any other such elected county office, the class at which	1168
the officer's salary is determined shall be the highest class at	1169
which any officer from that same county is compensated under the	1170

only those months, and any fractions of those months, during which	1332
the person holds the office.	1333

A township fiscal officer may be compensated from the	1334
township general fund or from other township funds based on the	1335
proportion of time the township fiscal officer spends providing	1336
services related to each fund. A township fiscal officer must	1337
document the amount of time the township fiscal officer spends	1338
providing services related to each fund by certification	1339
specifying the percentage of time spent working on matters to be	1340
paid from the township general fund or from other township funds	1341
