Section  1.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of law, Michael P.

 an  officer  with  the  city  of  Ithaca police department, and who is a
 member of the New York  state  and  local  police  and  fire  retirement
 system,  and  who,  for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence did
 not receive service credit toward his optional 20 year  retirement  plan
 for such period, shall be entitled to receive service credit toward such
 plan for such period if, within one year from the effective date of this
 act,  he  files  a  written  request to that effect with the state comp

 act shall be borne by the village of Watkins Glen.
