Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the town of Waterford, in the county of Saratoga, a participating employer in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system, which previously elected to offer the optional twenty year retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social security law and the additional pension benefit plan for members of the optional twenty year retirement plan established pursuant to section 384-e of the retirement and social security law, to police officers employed by such town, is hereby authorized to make partic- ipation in such plan available to Craig Fifield, a police officer employed by the town of Waterford with a start date in December 2008, who, for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence, failed to make a timely application to participate in such optional twenty year retire- ment plan. The town of Waterford may so elect by filing with the state comptroller, on or before December 31, 2015, a resolution of its town board together with certification that such police officer did not bar himself from participation in such retirement plan as a result of his own negligence. Thereafter, such police officer may elect to be covered by the provisions of section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage under such section, by filing a request to that effect with the state comptroller on or before June 30, 2016.
