ANNOTATION
Approval of board of county commissioners is discretionary power, not a ministerial duty to rubberstamp a county officer's decision. Tihonovich v. Williams, 196 Colo. 144, 582 P.2d 1051 (1978).
Circumstances to be considered by board in determining reasonableness of salaries include the amount of revenue available, the needs of other county departments and the ability of the county's taxpayers to fund additional requests, as well as the requesting department's need for the expenditures. Tihonovich v. Williams, 196 Colo. 144, 582 P.2d 1051 (1978).
