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
