  • A  county  operating  under  an  alternative  form  of  county
      government  may,  after the lapse of three years from the date such form
      becomes effective in the county, abandon  its  then  existing  form  and
      adopt  another  alternative form of county government authorized by this
      chapter, and such change shall become effective at the time provided  in

      county government and adopt the (name of form) of government?"
