(b) Elected supervisors of assessments who began a term of office before December 1, 1990 shall be compensated at the rate of their base salary. "Base salary" is the compensation paid for their position before July 1, 1989. (c) Elected supervisors of assessments beginning a term of office on or after December 1, 1990 shall, beginning December 1, 1993, receive their base salary plus at least 12% of base salary.

The salary set by the county board shall be paid in equal monthly installments out of the treasury of the county in which he or she is appointed or elected.

The county board shall provide necessary office space for the officer and pay all necessary expenses of the office out of the county treasury. Each supervisor of assessments may, with the advice and consent of the county board, appoint necessary deputies and clerks, their compensation to be fixed by the county board and paid by the county.
