consolidate a city of the first class and its county, shall remain incorporated unless
dissolved in accordance with KRS 81.094 and shall continue to exercise all powers
and perform the functions permitted by the Constitution and general laws of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky applicable to the cities of the class to which they have
been assigned. (2) Upon the adoption of a consolidated local government in a county containing a city of the first class, there shall be no further incorporations of cities within the county.

annexation proposal shall be deemed to be approved by the consolidated legislative
council. (4) The adoption of a consolidated local government in a county containing a city of the first class shall not prevent the merger or dissolution of any existing cities as
