280.3. The chairman of the executive committee, who is a member of the council of a northern village that has not become a party to the pension plan established under the Act respecting the Pension Plan of Elected Municipal Officers (chapter R-9.3) in the chairman’s respect, may at any time give written notice to the northern village of whose council he is a member, to the Regional Government and to the Commission administrative des régimes de retraite et d’assurances to the effect that he intends to participate in the plan.
The chairman of the executive committee may elect in the notice to participate in the plan in respect of the pensionable salary he is receiving both from the northern village of whose council he is a member and from the Regional Government or only in respect of the pensionable salary he is receiving from the Regional Government. If the chairman elects to participate in the pension plan in respect only of the pensionable salary he is receiving from the Regional Government, he may at any time give written notice of the same type as that referred to in the first paragraph, to modify his participation in the plan by electing to also participate therein in respect of the pensionable salary he is receiving from the northern village of whose council he is a member.
Participation in the pension plan and any modification to participation takes effect on the first day of the month following receipt of the notice by the Commission administrative des régimes de retraite et d’assurances. The Act respecting the Pension Plan of Elected Municipal Officers shall then apply, with the necessary modifications, in respect of the chairman of the executive committee as if the Regional Government and, as the case may be, the northern village, of whose council the chairman is a member, had become a party to the pension plan in the chairman’s respect.
