At the next succeeding general election after consolidation is approved by the voters and redistricting of the new county is accomplished pursuant to the consolidation plan, there must be elected for the new county all county officers provided for by general law or as prescribed in the approved consolidation plan, including members of the board of county commissioners. The terms for these offices begin on the first Monday in January next succeeding their election, or on another date as prescribed in the approved consolidation plan, at which time they replace all elected county officers of the previous counties. All appointive county officers are appointed by the officer or board upon which the power to appoint that officer is conferred.
