  • 1. Whenever in this article the board
      of supervisors is authorized by action taken pursuant to  this  section,
      to  alter or abolish the requirements of any section of this article, or
      part thereof, or to make applicable to the county the provisions of  any
      such  section,  or  part  thereof, not otherwise applicable, such action
      shall be by local law adopted in the manner prescribed in the  municipal
      home  rule  law.   Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or any
      general, special or local law, a local  law  adopted  pursuant  to  this
      article shall not be subject to a mandatory or permissive referendum.
        2.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of this chapter or of any general,
      special or local law, and except as expressly permitted by this article,
      no local law or resolution shall be adopted by a  board  of  supervisors
      inconsistent  with  the  mandatory  provision  of  this  article  or the
      optional provisions thereof where made  applicable;  provided,  however,
      that  local  laws  may  be  adopted imposing additional requirements not
      inconsistent with any such provisions.
        3. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or of  any  general,
      special  or  local  law,  a  roll  call  vote  shall  be  taken when any
      resolution expressly authorized or required by  this  article  is  voted
      upon  by  the board of supervisors. Such roll call vote shall be entered
      in the minutes of the board.
        4. Any local law by which an optional provision  of  this  article  is
      made  applicable  to  a  county may be repealed, whereupon such optional
      provision shall cease to be applicable to such county. Any  other  local
      law,  or  resolution, adopted pursuant to this article may be amended or
      repealed, provided that no such local law or resolution shall be amended
      so as to be inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of  this  article
      or  the  optional provisions thereof where made applicable. A resolution
      to amend or repeal  a  resolution  previously  adopted  pursuant  to  an
      express  authorization  or  requirement  of  this article shall be voted
      upon, and the roll call vote thereon shall be recorded,  in  the  manner
      provided in subdivision three of this section.
