§ 50. County administrator form. A county which shall adopt the county   administrator  form  of  government  shall have a county executive to be   called "county administrator." The board of  supervisors  shall  appoint   the  county  administrator  to serve during the term of office for which   the members of such board then in office were elected. Successors  shall   be appointed for like terms. Vacancies shall be filled by appointment by   the  board  of  supervisors  for the remainder of the term of office for   which the members of such board then in office were elected.  No  member   of  the  board of supervisors, other than the chairman shall, during the   term for which he was elected, be eligible  for  appointment  as  county   administrator.  The board of supervisors may appoint the chairman of the   board of supervisors as county  administrator,  who  shall  perform  the   duties  of  county administrator concurrently with those of chairman but   without additional compensation.  The  county  administrator  may,  when   authorized  by  local  law, serve as the head of one or more departments   not  administered  by  an  elective  official  but  without   additional   compensation.  The  board  of supervisors shall appoint a county auditor   who shall serve during the term of office for which the members of  such   board  then  in  office  were elected. Successors shall be appointed for   like terms. In  any  county  having  an  elective  county  auditor,  the   incumbent  of  the  office  shall  continue  in office, unless a vacancy   otherwise occurs, until the expiration of the term of office  for  which   he  was  elected.  Vacancies  in  the  office of county auditor shall be   filled by appointment by the board of supervisors for the  remainder  of   the  term  of  office for which the members of such board then in office   were elected. The county auditor shall audit all  claims,  accounts  and   demands  which  are made county charges by law and which otherwise would   be audited by the board of supervisors. The county treasurer  shall  pay   the  amounts  audited  and  certified by such auditor as if the same had   been audited by the board of  supervisors.  The  provisions  of  section   three  hundred sixty-nine of the county law shall apply to the audit and   payment of claims against the county. The county administrator,  subject   to  confirmation  by  the  board  of supervisors, shall appoint a county   purchasing agent who shall serve  during  the  term  of  office  of  the   administrator.  Successors  shall be appointed for like terms. Vacancies   in the office of county purchasing agent shall be filled by  appointment   in  like  manner  for  the  remainder of the term. The county purchasing   agent shall have and exercise all functions, powers and duties vested in   or imposed upon the office under article nine of this chapter  or  other   general  law.  The  foregoing  provisions of this section, together with   other applicable provisions of this chapter, including those  provisions   which  may  be  made  applicable,  shall constitute the structure of the   county administrator form of government authorized to be adopted by this   chapter.
