A coroner in a county with a population of one hundred	1224
seventy-five thousand one or more shall elect to engage or not to	1225
engage in the private practice of medicine before the commencement	1226
of each new term of office, and a coroner in such a county who	1227
engages in the private practice of medicine but who intends not to	1228
engage in the private practice of medicine during the coroner's	1229
next term of office shall so notify the board of county	1230
commissioners as specified in this division. For a period of six	1231
months after taking office, a coroner who elects not to engage in	1232
the private practice of medicine may engage in the private	1233
practice of medicine, without any reduction of the salary as	1234
provided in division (A) of this section and in section 325.18 of	1235
the Revised Code, for the purpose of concluding the affairs of the	1236

to the nearest one-tenth of one per cent.	1278

~~(D)~~(C) Notwithstanding this section and sections 325.06,	1279
325.11, 325.14, and 325.15 of the Revised Code, when computing a	1280
salary for any elected county officer under any of those sections,	1281
if the population range for the class under which the officer is	1282
to be compensated is not the same as the population range for that	1283
class for any other such elected county office, the class at which	1284
the officer's salary is determined shall be the highest class at	1285
which any officer from that same county is compensated under the	1286

As used in division (B) of this section, "consumer price	1357

Code.	1359

(C) Whenever members of a board of township trustees are	1360
compensated per diem and not by annual salary, the board shall	1361
establish, by resolution, a method by which each member of the	1362
board shall periodically notify the township fiscal officer of the	1363
number of days spent in the service of the township and the kinds	1364
of services rendered on those days. The per diem compensation	1365
shall be paid from the township general fund or from other	1366
township funds in such proportions as the kinds of services	1367
performed may require. The notice shall be filed with the township	1368
fiscal officer and preserved for inspection by any persons	1369
interested.	1370

By unanimous vote, a board of township trustees may adopt a	1371
method of compensation consisting of an annual salary to be paid	1372
in equal monthly payments. If the office of trustee is held by	1373
more than one person during any calendar year, each person holding	1374
the office shall receive payments for only those months, and any	1375
fractions of those months, during which the person holds the	1376
office. The amount of the annual salary approved by the board	1377
shall be no more than the maximum amount that could be received	1378
annually by a trustee if the trustee were paid on a per diem basis	1379
as specified in this division, and shall be paid from the township	1380
general fund or from other township funds in such proportions as	1381
the board may specify by resolution. Each trustee shall certify	1382
the percentage of time spent working on matters to be paid from	1383
the township general fund and from other township funds in such	1384
proportions as the kinds of services performed. A board of	1385
township trustees that has adopted a salary method of compensation	1386
may return to a method of compensation on a per diem basis as	1387
specified in this division by a majority vote. Any change in the	1388
method of compensation shall be effective on the first day of	1389
January of the year following the year during which the board has	1390
voted to change the method of compensation.	1391

Sec. 507.09. (A) ~~Except as otherwise provided in division~~	1392
~~(D) of this section~~In calendar year 2015, the township fiscal	1393
