The compensation of members of Council, the Mayor and members of all boards and commissions shall not be decreased during the term for which they were elected or appointed except that in the event the Mayor no longer exercises judicial functions, the salary of the Mayor shall be reduced to that of a Councilperson plus an honorarium of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per year. The compensation of all other officers and employees of the Municipality may be increased or decreased at any time by ordinance. The payment of allowances for expenses or the reimbursement of expenses and the granting of fringe benefits, as may be provided by the Council, shall not be considered an increase in compensation that is prohibited by this section.
