64. Where, on 16 June 1988, the remuneration or the expense allowance of a member of the council of a municipality provided for an office under a provision repealed, struck out or replaced by this Act, exceeds the remuneration or the expense allowance that becomes payable to him under sections 17 to 19, he retains the right to receive, as remuneration or allowance, an amount at least equal to the amount he is receiving at that date, for as long as he remains in office.
He shall not be deemed to have ceased to hold office as a member of the council at the expiry of his term, provided that he is re-elected in the election in progress when the expiry occurs or held thereafter, according as he is a councillor or the mayor, and that he makes the required oath within the prescribed time after his re-election.
