When a city-county is incorporated, it shall:

Subject to whatever debt distribution plan the city-county charter prescribes, become liable for all the obligations of the consolidating cities and county.

(2)

The officers of the consolidating cities and county shall forthwith deliver to the city-county officers the assets and records of the consolidating cities and county. Uncollected taxes theretofore levied by the consolidating cities and county shall become the property of the city-county upon collection.

(3)

Immediately after the effective date of the county boundary changes effected under ORS 199.760, the officers of the city-county and of adjoining counties that the boundary changes affect shall transfer public records, buildings and property in accordance with ORS chapter 202.
