contracts, bonds, franchises, and other obligations.
(2)The charter county government shall succeed to all rights and entitlements of these
contracts, bonds, franchises, and other obligations.
(3)All conflicts in the provisions of the contracts, bonds, franchises, and other
obligations shall be resolved in a manner that does not impair the rights of any of
the parties.
(4)Nothing in KRS 67.825 to 67.875 shall be construed to nullify a participating city's
petition pursuant to KRS 345.010 to be included under KRS Chapter 345 for

to bargain collectively with those employees who were covered under a contract
with the county or participating city at the time of the formation of the charter
county government.
