(b) On the day after a city confirms a resolution of the board of
supervisors pursuant to paragraph (a), the mayor or the city clerk shall
send a written notice of such confirmation to the clerk of the board of
supervisors of the county. He shall also send a copy of such notice to
the county commissioner of social services and the county commissioner
shall thereupon notify the department.
(c) If a city in the county social services district shall confirm
the resolution of the board of supervisors in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (a), the county social services district shall,
on and after the effective date of such confirmation be responsible for
administration of public assistance and care in such city, and
thereafter all provisions of this chapter as to the powers and duties of
a city in a county social services district and of city social services
officers shall be inoperative in such city.
(d) Unless and until a city in the county social services district
shall confirm the resolution of the board of supervisors in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (a), the responsibility of such city
for assistance and care in its territory shall not be affected by such
resolution, and the city shall be governed by the provisions of this
chapter and other laws relating to cities which form part of a county
social services district and to city social services officers; and the
city shall continue to be responsible for the cost of public assistance
and care under the provisions of subdivision two of section sixty-nine,
except as otherwise provided in title three-a of this article. The cost
of any assistance and care given to local charges residing or found in
such city, paid by the county social services district under the
provisions of subdivision three of section sixty-nine, shall be a charge
on the county social services district.
3. The board of supervisors shall make such additional appropriations
and authorize the appointment of such number of deputy commissioners,
other assistants and employees as it may deem necessary to provide

adequate administration of the public assistance and care for which the
county social services district is made responsible under the provisions
of this section.
