The meeting shall be held at a time and place designated by the governing body calling the meeting, not later than 10 days after the canvass of the vote in the entity last canvassed. The secretary of the entity calling the meeting shall give notice of the time and place of the meeting to each member of the governing body of each affected entity.

The board so elected shall immediately meet and organize as provided by the principal Act and shall by resolution declare the districts merged or consolidated and each affected city joined, as the case may be. From the date of adoption of the resolution the merger or consolidation is complete, and the city territory, together with any territory thereafter annexed to the city, is included in the boundaries of the surviving or successor district and shall be subject to all the liabilities of the district in the same manner and to the same extent as other territory included in the district.
