(b)Declare the results of the election on the county seat. If more than 50 percent of the total number of all votes cast within each affected county are in favor of the county seat, such location shall be the county seat until removed in the manner provided by law. Where the proposed county seat is not affirmed by the voters, the board of supervisors of the consolidated county shall designate a temporary county seat until removed in the manner provided by law.
(c)Name the persons receiving the highest number of votes cast for the several offices to be filled at the election and declare those persons duly elected to the respective offices and that they shall enter upon the duties of their offices upon the date which the consolidated county shall be deemed legally established as provided in subdivision (a), and prescribe the amount of the bonds such elected officers shall provide upon taking office.
(d)State the effective date or dates upon which the various service responsibilities and functions for the consolidated county shall be transferred from each affected county to the consolidated county.
