provisions of section seventy of the civil service law or any other

general, special or local law, rule or regulation, in any county, not

wholly contained in a city, where the police agencies in such county

will be consolidated, the local legislative body of such county, if the

new or existing agency is a county police agency, or the local

legislative body of the new agency if it be other than a county police
