The duties of official reporters appointed pursuant to Section 69990 shall be performed as elsewhere provided by law. As full compensation for taking notes in criminal cases in the superior court each reporter shall receive a monthly salary of one thousand eighty-one dollars ($1,081), and the fee for reporting testimony and proceedings in civil contested cases is seventy-five dollars ($75) a day, or any fractional part thereof, and for the purposes of retirement, the compensation of each reporter shall be deemed to be the total of all per diem and transcription fees paid by the county to all of the reporters of the superior court for all phonographic reporting services, divided by the number of superior court official reporters, plus his salary. All other fees of such reporters shall be as elsewhere provided by law. In cases where it is necessary to appoint a pro tempore reporter, he shall be allowed the fees elsewhere provided by law.
