The boundaries of cities of the first class, except for a city which has in effect a
compact with the county pursuant to KRS 79.310 to 79.330, shall remain as
established by law until changed as provided in this section or KRS 81A.020,
81A.440, or through merger with a contiguous city pursuant to KRS 81.410 to
81.440. Whenever such city of the first class desires to annex any
unincorporated territory or to reduce the boundaries of the city, the city
legislative body may enact an ordinance, defining accurately the boundary of
the territory proposed to be annexed or stricken off. The ordinance shall be
published pursuant to KRS Chapter 424. In not less than thirty (30) days after
the enactment of the ordinance, if the publication has been made and no
petition has been filed in the Circuit Court as provided in KRS 81A.020, the city
legislative body may enact another ordinance annexing to the city or striking
from the city the territory described in the ordinance. Upon the enactment of
this ordinance, the territory shall become part of the city, or be stricken from the
city.
The boundaries of any city of the first class which has in effect a compact with
the county pursuant to KRS 79.310 to 79.330 shall remain as established by
law unless changed pursuant to the procedure set out in KRS 81A.005. Upon
the termination of such compact, boundary changes shall be governed by
subsection (1) of this section.
