The board of county commissioners is hereby authorized in its discretion and by proper resolution or ordinance to establish a retirement or pension system for the officials and employees of the county and may likewise so provide for the disability and retirement or pension system to cover permanent, partial or temporary disabilities incurred by such employees. If and when such retirement or pension system shall be established, all such public employees, who may be designated by the board of county commissioners, shall be eligible to its benefits, including those employees who are partially paid by the county and partially paid by one of the municipalities of the county, and such employees may be entitled to the benefits of such retirement or pension system in accordance with the pro-rata part of their compensation which is paid by the county. The benefits of such retirement or pension system shall not, however, be extended to include any officials or employees of the county board of education, a previous insurance system now being in effect as to such county board of education employees.
