 public  library in September, 1984, and shall be granted Tier IV status,
 provided that an application is filed with the  head  of  the  New  York
 state  and  local  employees' retirement system within one year from the
 effective date of this  act.  Upon  the  granting  of  such  retroactive
 membership,  Christine  Fernandez  shall  not be granted a refund of any

 employees' retirement system.
   § 2. All past service costs associated with the implementation of this
 act shall be borne by the Voorheesville public library.
