70. The Council may, by by-law, fix the remuneration or indemnity of its members not referred to in the third paragraph. The remuneration or indemnity fixed for the mayor of the municipality of Boischatel may be different from that fixed for the other members of the Council.

The Council may, by the same by-law, fix any additional remuneration or indemnity for the members of the Council, and fix the remuneration or indemnity for the chairman, first vice-chairman or second vice-chairman of the Community, for the chairman, vice-chairman or any other member of a select or special committee, or for the permanent substitute mayor from the city of Québec.

The Council may, by the same by-law, fix the remuneration or indemnity of a substitute mayor who temporarily becomes a member of the Council pursuant to the third paragraph of section 29; such remuneration or indemnity may be different in the case of the substitute mayor from the municipality of Boischatel. The Council may provide that the remuneration or indemnity does not apply in respect of the permanent substitute mayor from the city of Québec. It may also provide that payment of the remuneration or indemnity entails a reduction in the remuneration or indemnity otherwise payable, for the office of member of the Council, to a mayor replaced owing to absence or inability to act.

Any indemnity is paid as reimbursement for the part of the expenses attached to the office which are not reimbursed pursuant to sections 70.4 to 70.8. The indemnity may not exceed one half of the remuneration.

The by-law may have retroactive effect from 1 January of the year in which it comes into force.
