City and County service shall mean service rendered as an employee of the City and County for compensation. For the purposes of the retirement system a member shall be considered as being in the City and County service only while he is receiving compensation from the City and County for such service; provided, however, that any person heretofore appointed to the position of Fire Marshall, who, at the time of his appointment, was a member of the uniform rank of the Fire Department and was at the same time entitled to the benefits of the Fireman's Relief Fund, as provided for in Chapter VII of Article IX of the Charter which has been superseded by the present Charter; and who did not avail himself of the privileges permitted by Subsection (f) of Section of the present Charter, shall as long as he occupies the position of Fire Marshal be deemed to be in the City and County service and shall continue to be a member of the retirement system as provided in Section of the present Charter and to enjoy the same rights, privileges and benefits from such system as he would have enjoyed had he not been appointed to the position of Fire Marshal and had continued to serve in the position in the department which he was legally occupying at the time of his appointment to the position of Fire Marshal. His dependents shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and privileges provided for in Section of the present Charter. The amount of the benefit which such person or his dependents shall be entitled to shall be in accordance with the compensation attached to the position which he occupied in the Fire Department at the time of the appointment to the position of Fire Marshal.
