The Town Council shall provide by ordinance for the salary of the Municipal Judge. Such salary shall be a fixed annual compensation and payable on a monthly or other periodic basis. Payment of any fees or other compensation based directly on the number of individual cases handled or heard by the Municipal Judge is prohibited. If an assistant or associate municipal judge acts in the absence of the Municipal Judge, his salary may be adjusted so as to compensate the Assistant or Associate Municipal Judge. (Ord. 440 §1, 2001; Amended Ord. 757 §2, 2019)
