§ 99-e. 1. Operation, improvement and maintenance of parks.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or local law, or
of any charter, ordinance, rule or regulation, any county, except a
county wholly included within a city and except a county operating under
an alternative form of county government or under a county charter, may
undertake to operate, maintain and improve public parks and recreational
facilities theretofore established by a municipal corporation within its
boundaries on land owned by such municipal corporation. Such county and
any municipal corporation located therein may, when authorized by
majority vote of the whole number of the members of its governing body,
enter into an agreement for the aforesaid purpose for a term not to
exceed thirty years, upon such other terms and conditions as such bodies
shall determine. Such operation, maintenance and improvement shall be
county purposes and the board of supervisors of such county may
appropriate and expend county funds for such purposes.

2. After such an agreement has been executed, employees of the
municipal corporation so contracting with the county, who at the time of
the execution of such agreement were employed in the operation and
maintenance of the parks and recreational facilities covered by any such
agreement, shall be transferred to the employ of the county in the
manner set forth in section seventy of the civil service law.
