(1) The boundaries of cities of the first class, except for a city which has in effect a compact with the county pursuant to KRS 79.310 to 79.330, shall remain as <br>established by law until changed as provided in this section or KRS 81A.020, <br>81A.440, or through merger with a contiguous city pursuant to KRS 81.410 to <br>81.440.
