In the event the board of supervisors elects to make the provisions of this chapter operative, it may provide for the payment to the county director of emergency services of such compensation as it may deem proper. The board of supervisors may elect to provide such compensation upon consolidation of such offices or at any time thereafter. Such compensation may be increased or reduced by action of the board of supervisors and is in addition to any other compensation provided by law.
