§ 374-b. Traffic prosecutor selection and oversight. (a) The executive director  of the Rochester traffic violations agency, appointed pursuant to subdivision (b) of this section, shall select and may  contract  with or  hire  one  or  more  persons who are attorneys, duly admitted to the practice of law in New York state for the  prosecution  of  any  traffic infraction,  except  those  described  in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e),  (f)  and  (g)  of  subdivision  two-b  of  section  three  hundred seventy-one of this article, to be heard, tried or otherwise disposed of by  the  Rochester  city  court. Such persons shall be known as "traffic prosecutors", as that term is defined in section three hundred seventy-a of this article. Traffic prosecutors shall have  the  same  power  as  a district attorney would otherwise have in the prosecution of any traffic infraction  which  may,  pursuant  to  the  jurisdictional provisions of section three hundred seventy-one of this article, be prosecuted  before the  Rochester  city court if the traffic violation occurred in the city of Rochester. The executive director shall give active consideration  to requiring  that  such  traffic  prosecutors  serve on a full-time basis. Traffic prosecutors are prohibited from appearing in any capacity  other than  as a traffic prosecutor in any part of the Rochester city court on any matter relating to traffic violations.  (b) The mayor of the city of Rochester shall appoint a person to serve as the executive director of the Rochester  traffic  violations  agency. The  executive  director  shall  be  responsible  for  the oversight and administration of the agency. The executive director is prohibited  from appearing in any capacity in any part of the Rochester city court on any matter  relating  to  traffic  violations and is further prohibited from appearing in any capacity in any other court or administrative  tribunal on any matter relating to traffic violations.  (c)  It shall be a misdemeanor for the executive director, any traffic prosecutor or any judicial hearing  officer  assigned  to  hear  traffic violations  cases  pursuant  to  section  sixteen  hundred ninety of the vehicle and traffic law to establish  any  quota  of  traffic  violation convictions which must be obtained by any traffic prosecutor or judicial hearing  officer.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the taking of any job action against a traffic prosecutor or judicial hearing  officer for failure to satisfactorily perform such prosecutor's or officer's job assignment except that the employment productivity of such prosecutor or officer  shall not be measured by the attainment or nonattainment of any conviction quota. For the purposes of this section  a  conviction  quota shall  mean  a  specific  number  of  convictions which must be obtained within a specific time period.  (d) Pursuant to section 3-9 of the charter of the city  of  Rochester, the  city  of  Rochester may appropriate those monies which, in its sole discretion, are necessary for the compensation of those persons selected to serve as executive director and traffic prosecutors and to cover  all other  expenses  associated  with  the  administration  of the Rochester traffic violations agency.
