any two or more political or taxing subdivisions of this state, shall be
filed with the governing body of such subdivision or subdivisions
requesting that a proposition for the consolidation of specified
operations, procedures and functions of designated offices or agencies of
such subdivision or subdivisions be submitted to the electors thereof, such
governing body or governing bodies shall submit such proposition at an
election called and held for such purpose in the manner provided by the
