Sec. 3. (a) A savings bank that has accumulated a surplus of at least five percent (5%) upon its deposits may pay board members who render special personal service (beyond the ordinary duty of attending meetings and serving upon committees other than of examination) compensation determined by the board.

     (b) A board member for whom special service compensation is under consideration by the board may not vote upon the question.

     (c) If, after special compensation is paid to a board member under subsection (a), the savings bank’s surplus becomes impaired so as to be less than five percent (5%) of its deposits, the special compensation to the board member shall cease until the surplus is again at least five percent (5%) of deposits.
