and the territory of the consolidated city includes:
(1) all the territory that comprised the first class city before it
became a consolidated city; and
(2) all other territory in the county except territory of an excluded

However, certain departments and special taxing districts of the
consolidated city may have jurisdiction as provided by law over more
or less territory than that inside the boundaries of the consolidated city.
(b) The consolidated city is known as "City of ______," with the
name of the first class city inserted in the blank.

government prescribed by section 3 of this chapter continue in office
as officers of the consolidated city until an executive and a legislative
body of the consolidated city are elected and qualified.
