§ 2047-g. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of the county under civil service, selected by the agency may, with the

consent of the county executive, be transferred to the agency and shall

be eligible for such transfer and appointment, without examination, to

applicable offices, positions and employment under the agency. The

salary or compensation of any such officer or employee, after such

transfer, shall be paid by the agency. Any such officers or employees so

transferred to the agency pursuant to this section, who are members of

or benefit under any existing pension or retirement fund or system,

shall continue to have all rights, privileges, obligations and status

with respect to such fund or system as are now prescribed by law, but

during the period of their employment by the agency, all contributions

to such funds or system to be paid by the employer on account of such

officers or employees shall be paid by the agency. All such officers or

employees so transferred to the agency who have been appointed to

positions under the rules and classifications of the personnel officer

of the county shall have the same status with respect thereto after

transfer to the agency as they had under their original appointment.
