465.83 State agency approval.
Before scheduling a referendum on the question of combining local government units under section 465.84, the units shall submit the plan adopted under section 465.82 to the board. Metropolitan area units shall also submit the plan to the metropolitan council for review and comment. The board may require any information it deems necessary to evaluate the plan. The board shall disapprove the proposed combination if it finds that the plan is not reasonably likely to enable the combined unit to provide services in a more efficient or less costly manner than the separate units would provide them, or if the plans or plan modification are incomplete. If the combination of local government units is approved by the board under this section, the local units are not required to proceed under chapter 414 to accomplish the combination.
