(2) The agents and employees of the board shall be employed and governed, as provided in this subsection, in accordance with the merit system. For the purpose of <br>governing the employment, appointment, suspension, layoff, and dismissal of <br>employees by the board, and personnel matters relating thereto, any law or laws, or <br>amendments thereof, and any rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto, <br>authorizing, creating, and governing any city board or commission empowered to <br>administer and enforce civil service laws, rules, and regulations in and for such city <br>are hereby made applicable to the personnel and personnel matters of the board to <br>the extent of and with respect to corresponding and comparable offices, positions, <br>and places of employment of and under the board.
