Approved March 31, 1956

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That Section 15-237 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 15-237. The county clerk shall be ex officio clerk of the board of
supervisors. It shall be his general duty:

(1) To record in a book to be provided for that purpose all the pro-
ceedings of the board.

(2) To make regular entries of all their resolutions and decisions on
all questions concerning the raising of money; and within five days after
any order for a levy is made, to deliver a copy thereof to each commissioner
of the revenue of his county.

(3) To record the vote of each supervisor on any question submitted
to the board, if required by any member present.

(4) To sign all warrants issued by the board for the payment of
money, and to record, in a book provided for the purpose, the reports of
the county treasurer of his receipts and disbursements.

(5) To preserve and file all accounts acted upon by the board, with
their actions thereon; and he shall perform such special duties as are re-
quired of him by law.

In the county of Augusta the board of supervisors shall have the
power to elect for a term of two years someone other than the county
clerk as clerk of their board and to fix the compensation to be allowed
such clerk.

* The board shall by proper resolution prescribe the duties of such
clerk which shall be in addition to his duties as prescribed by law.

The employment and fixing of the compensation of such clerk in the
county of Augusta is hereby validated, ratified and confirmed.
