Upon the establishment of the tourism district by resolution of the authority pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of P.L.2011, c. 18 (C.5:12-219), or upon the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph 2 of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, the authority shall assume all functions, powers, and duties of Atlantic City, and of any agency or instrumentality thereof, with respect to the Atlantic City Special Improvement District, and the City of Atlantic City shall repeal the ordinance or ordinances establishing that special improvement district; provided, however, that the functions, organizational structure, and operations of the Atlantic City Special Improvement District shall be continued as a division existing within the authority. The Atlantic City Special Improvement District, continued as a division within the authority, shall continue to assess and collect assessments payable to the special improvement district as of the effective date of the establishment of the tourism district by resolution of the authority pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of P.L.2011, c. 18 (C.5:12-219). Officers and employees of the special improvement district shall be transferred to the authority and shall become employees of the authority and the authority shall retain those employees transferred to the authority pursuant to this section as employees of the special improvement district division; provided, however, that any employee transferred to the authority pursuant to this section may be dismissed for cause, and any such employee may be dismissed if the authority determines that the transfer of the special improvement district to the authority has resulted in the duplication of responsibility of the position held by such employee, but such an employee shall be given a right of first refusal offer of similar employment if such employment shall become available as determined by the authority.
