(d) (1) In Baltimore City, the Sheriff shall receive a
salary of [$25,000] $40,000 $37,500. He shall appoint an
undersheriff and chief deputy sheriff, three supervisory
deputy sheriffs, one deputy sheriff writ clerk and four
assistant deputy sheriff writ clerks, one stenographer and
docket clerk, two clerks and he may appoint a total of 61
deputy sheriffs. In addition to any other compensation
received, each sheriff shall receive an expense allowance of
$100 annually for: (i) ammunition for practice sessions at
the range; (ii) clothing allowance to defray the cost of dry
cleaning and maintaining the clothing worn while on duty;
and (iii) the purchase and maintenance of other items
necessary to fulfill their duties that currently are not
furnished by the Baltimore City Sheriff's department.
Salaries for these employees shall be set by the Secretary
of Personnel. A deputy sheriff who uses his personal
automobile is entitled to a monthly automobile allowance at
the same rate paid to other State employees. Any sheriff
who is assigned a city-owned automobile may not receive the
monthly automobile expense allowance. They shall also have
assistants at the compensation provided for in the annual
ordinance of estimates of Baltimore City. Provision shall
also be made in the ordinance for the expenses of the office
of the Sheriff, including the purchase and maintenance of
motor vehicles. The Mayor and City Council has the same
power with respect to the salaries of the office of the
Sheriff as it has under the city charter with respect to the
salaries of all municipal departments. Employees of the
Sheriff's office, except the Sheriff, shall be selected
according to the provisions of § 9E of Article 64A of the
Code.
