executive of other local governments immediately following each regular
election for these offices, for approval and adoption by the local chief

KRS Chapters 39A to 39F.
In the event of a conflict between a city emergency operations plan and a
county emergency operations plan and decisions made thereunder:
(a) The decision made pursuant to the county plan shall prevail if the
incident, its consequences, or the threat thereof, extend beyond the
boundaries of the city;
(b) The decision made pursuant to the city plan shall prevail if the incident, its
consequences, or the threat of the incident, do not extend beyond the
boundaries of the city; and

counties.
The joint plan established by counties acting jointly pursuant to KRS 39B.010
