In the event the board of supervisors elects to make the provisions of this chapter operative, it may provide for the payment of compensation which it deems proper for the combined offices of auditor-controller in a single amount or in two separate amounts, one for auditor and one for controller as it may deem proper. The board of supervisors may elect to provide such compensation on creation of the office of controller, or at any time thereafter.
