7-2-8. Commissioner districts in consolidated county--First election of commissioners after consolidation. The board of county commissioners of each of such counties shall, after the proclamation of consolidation by the Governor, meet in joint session at the office of the county auditor of the county seat of one of such counties on the first Monday in July succeeding such proclamation and proceed to divide each new county into five commissioner districts, numbering them consecutively, complying as nearly as possible with the provisions of the law regulating the districting of counties into commissioner districts. Such commissioner districts so established and the boundaries so fixed shall remain as established and fixed until the same may be changed as provided by law. At the next general election there shall be elected a commissioner for each district, each of whom shall be so chosen for two or four years as that the regular term of his successor shall thereafter conform to the requirements of law.
