If, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 37 of Title 11 of the Oklahoma Statutes or of any statute supplemental thereto or of any charter provision of the city, a retirement system is established for the employees of the city, the employees of the city-county library system may be included in that retirement system on the same basis applicable to employees of the city, if the commission so recommends and the board of county commissioners and the governing body of the city approve. Nothing otherwise provided by law shall operate to prohibit the appropriation of county funds for the payment of the county's pro rata share of the contribution to be made to the retirement fund on behalf of the employees of the city-county library system. In the event funds become available for library purposes pursuant to the provisions of Section 10A of Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution, the entire contribution on behalf of the employees of the city-county library system may be paid from such funds.
