If upon a canvass of the total votes cast in all the affected counties at the election, it appears that within each affected county more than 50 percent of the total number of all votes cast in the affected county, and more than 50 percent of the total number of all votes cast in the proposed county, are in favor of creation of the proposed county, the board of supervisors of the principal county, by resolution, shall:
(a) Declare the results of the election and that the proposed county shall not be deemed created until the election of its officers at the next statewide primary or general election, as provided in Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 23374.1). At the time that the officers of the county are elected and qualified, the proposed county is deemed created, and it shall be responsible for and discharge all the duties, powers, and functions of a county as required by law, except as provided in this chapter.
(b) State the effective date or dates upon which the various service responsibilities and functions for the proposed county shall be transferred from each affected county to the proposed county. The date or dates shall be established in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the commission and in a manner to provide for the orderly and expeditious transition of responsibilities and functions, but shall in no event exceed two fiscal years from the date on which the proposed county shall be deemed legally created as provided in subdivision (a).
