§  57. Terms of elective county officials not to be abridged. The term  of office of an elective county official shall not be abridged by reason  of the approval of any question providing for the adoption in the  first  instance  of  an  alternative form of county government or modification,  change or abandonment, of  any  such  form  previously  adopted.  If  an  elective  official of the county is continued in office after his office  is abolished, he shall perform such related duties for the remainder  of  his  term, unless a vacancy otherwise occurs, as may be assigned to him:  (1) in case of the modification or change of an existing form of  county  government,  by  the county executive; or (2) in case of the abandonment  of an existing form, by the board of supervisors of the county. He shall  be paid a compensation to be fixed by the board of supervisors and  paid  by the county.
