§ 1475-e. Contract for employees. 1. The authority is hereby
authorized to enter into a contract under which the contractor would
provide employees to the authority for the purpose of operation and
maintenance of the projects of the authority. The authority shall not
begin operation of any project until such a contract shall be in force.
Such contract shall provide that all employees engaged in the operation
and maintenance of any authority project shall be employees of the
contractor and not employees of the authority, and such employees shall
receive their total compensation and employee benefits directly from the
contractor. Except for titles that would be determined to be management
or confidential pursuant to title fourteen of the civil service law, the
authority shall have no employees other than the employees of the
contractor pursuant to the contract referred to in this section.

2. Every contract entered into under subdivision one of this section
shall require that the wages to be paid to any employees engaged in the
operation and maintenance of any authority project shall be not less
than wages that are comparable to those paid to employees doing similar
work in the city of Syracuse.
