(b) For the following duties performed by a supplemental court commissioner held in the county courthouse or other court facilities provided by law, reasonable compensation as fixed by the court but not more than the hourly equivalent of the salary of a judge of the court:

1. Every attendance upon the hearing of any motion for an order which a supplemental court commissioner is authorized to grant and for attendance upon any motion or an official act to be done by the supplemental court commissioner.

2. Conducting a hearing and deciding on the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus, certiorari, ne exeat and alternate writs of mandamus.

3. Attendance upon the taking of testimony or examination of witnesses in any matter held outside the county courthouse or other court facilities provided by law, whether acting as a referee or otherwise.

For attendance upon an examination under ch. 816, a supplemental court commissioner shall collect a fee of $15 to be paid upon the issuance of the order under s. 816.03(1). The fee shall be returned in any case where it appears by affidavit filed that the order was not served upon the judgment debtor. This fee is the only fee a supplemental court commissioner is entitled to for proceedings under ch. 816.
