(1) To enter into a merger plan, each city council of any two or more contiguous and adjacent cities shall adopt an initial joint concurrent resolution of intent to pursue such plan.

Terms Used In Nebraska Statutes 16-1104

  • Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.

(2) If a resolution is adopted pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, the city councils of each city involved may hold an advisory vote at any general, primary, or special election if the advisory vote is presented to voters of all cities involved on the same day. Notice of the advisory vote to be voted on at a special election shall be given in the manner of notice for special elections in accordance with the Election Act. The result of the vote cast on a question submitted under this subsection shall not be binding upon such city councils.
