     (2) Each member of the board in all other counties may receive an annual salary equal to the annual salary established in 7-4-2503(1)(a)(ii) for the clerk and recorder or a salary at a per-day rate determined by using the salary established in 7-4-2503(1)(a)(ii) for the clerk and recorder. However, the county commissioners may, for all or the remainder of each fiscal year, in conjunction with setting salaries for other officers as provided in 7-4-2504(1), set their salaries at the prior fiscal year level if that level is lower than the level required by this subsection. The salary determined by the board must apply uniformly to all board members.
     (3) Each member of the board of fourth-class counties may receive a salary at a daily rate determined by using the salary established in subsection (1). If a daily rate is used, then all board members must be paid on that basis.
