(1) The board shall establish the compensation plan for all employees of the department, and such compensation shall be as nearly comparable as practicable with the compensation paid to and received by employees in comparable agencies.
(2) The employees of the department shall be employed and governed in accordance with a merit system. The board shall provide for the recruitment, examination, appointment, promotion, transfer, lay-off, removal, discipline, compensation, and welfare of the department’s employees by establishing a system of personnel administration based on merit principles and scientific methods whereby the rules and regulations of such system shall not be less stringent than those of the merit system of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Such system shall include a personnel board of five (5) members appointed by the board for two (2) year terms. The board shall select as members of the personnel board public-spirited citizens of recognized experience in the improvement of public administration and in the impartial selection of efficient public personnel. The personnel board shall be responsible for establishing rules and regulations for the purpose of governing the administration of the personnel system. The commissioner shall function as appointing authority in and with respect to the personnel matters of the board. The board shall have one (1) year from July 1, 1977, to implement such a system.
(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of KRS § 61.510 to KRS § 61.692 and KRS § 78.510 to

(4) When the board is qualified and organized as provided in KRS § 212.626 to KRS § 212.639, all city-county department of health employees at that time shall be transferred to and continued in the service of the department created under KRS § 212.626 to

Provided, however, that any and all of such employees who at that time are in the classified service of the city-county department of health shall be continued in the classified service of the department with the same status they have had in the classified service of the city-county department of health.
