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
