(a) When a first class city becomes a
consolidated city, the officers who become the executive and legislative
body of the consolidated city under section 4(c) of this chapter also
become the executive and legislative body of the county.
(b) The members of the board of commissioners of the county are
entitled to remain in office until their terms expire, although the board
is no longer the executive of the county. As their terms expire or their
positions become vacant, they shall be replaced by the following
officers in the following order:
(1) The county treasurer.
(2) The county auditor.
(3) The county assessor.
These three (3) officers then serve ex officio as commissioners under
