Book excerpt: The failure of county voters to approve a proposition to issue general obligation bonds of the county pursuant to subsection (c) of K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 19-15,116 to finance construction of a new county jail does not effect the exercise of the authority granted to the board of county commissioners in subsection (d) of the same statute. Thus, the board of county commissioners may continue to levy a tax authorized by a resolution adopted pursuant to subsection (d) to create a building fund for a new county correctional facility. Similarly, the board of county commissioners may issue general obligation bonds of the county, as authorized by subsection (d), for the same purpose. In subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 19-15,116 the legislature has given Kansas counties two separate authorizations for the issuance of general obligation bonds to finance the construction and improvement of county public buildings. The failure of a prerequisite election under subsection (c) does not prevent the county from issuing duly authorized bonds for the same purpose under subsection (d). In subsection (d) the legislature has given a board of county commissioners due authority to issue general obligation bonds of the county, as limited therein, without submitting the proposition to a vote of the county electorate.

Book excerpt: Kansas is a member state in the Interstate Compact on Mental Health by the terms of K.S.A. 65-3101, which incorporate the compact into Kansas statutes. Part of the compact concerns the escape of dangerous or potentially dangerous patients from institutions in any state party to the compact. Upon the capture and identification of such patients, they are to be detained until they can be returned to the state in which they were committed. In this specific circumstance, the provisions of K.S.A. 59-2901 et seq., relating to orders for protective custody and commitment, do not apply, and the patient may be held without such proceedings prior to return to the state from which he escaped. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 59-2902, K.S.A. 59-2904, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 59-2905, 59-2908, 59-2909, 59-2912, K.S.A. 59-2917, 65-3101.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.

Book excerpt: Under its police power, a state may reimburse itself for the cost of regulating and supervising a business by assessing the necessary expenses to the business which created the necessity for such regulation and supervision. Use of conservation fee fund monies for the prevention and cleanup of pollution from oil and gas activities regulated by the state corporation commission is sufficiently related to the regulatory function to make its use for such purposes a valid exercise of the police power. The conservation fee fund may be used to fund the study and cleanup of oil and gas pollution pursuant to section 37 of 1986 House Bill No. 3078 (K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by 1986, ch. 201, section 37), to the extent that such study and cleanup are reasonably related to those activities of the oil and gas industry which are regulated by the commission. Use of the conservation fee fund by the state corporation commission for those oil and gas activities it does not regulate (as authorized by K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201, section 37, which references subsection (a)(2)(A)-of K.S.A. 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201. section 22), is contrary to the findings of the Kansas Supreme Court in P̲a̲n̲h̲a̲n̲d̲l̲e̲ ̲E̲a̲s̲t̲e̲r̲n̲ ̲P̲i̲p̲e̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲F̲a̲d̲e̲l̲e̲y̲. Such use exacts revenue from the oil and gas industry under the guise of a regulatory fee in violation of article 11, section 1 of the Kansas Constitution, and the commerce clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the United State Constitution. Cited herein: Kans. Const., Art. 11, section 1; U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amendment; K.S.A. 55-131; 55-143; 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 33, section 10(f); L. 1986, ch. 201, sections 1, 2, 10, 17, 22, 28, 37, 39 and 40; and K.A.R. 28-41-1.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(b)(1) provides that if a request for notice of meetings subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) is made by petition, notice is required to be given only to a designated person. We conclude that the request for notice submitted for our opinion constitutes a petition for purposes of the KOMA. Individual notice, therefore, is not required to be given to each person on the list. If individual requests for notice are made, however, notice must be given either in writing or by telephone to each person. We note that, if a public body has regularly scheduled meetings, the notice requirement is met by providing a single notice containing a list of such meetings. Additional notice must be given, however, of any changes or special meetings. Under the open meetings law a distinction is made between the requirements concerning notice and agenda. While notice must be f̲u̲r̲n̲i̲s̲h̲e̲d̲ to the person requesting it, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(b), an agenda must be m̲a̲d̲e̲ ̲a̲v̲a̲i̲l̲a̲b̲l̲e̲ to the requester if one is prepared, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(d). We affirm our previous opinion, No. 79-218, that a public body is not required to mail copies of an agenda if it can be obtained at a public place.

Book excerpt: A search warrant maybe issued by a district magistrate judge upon the sworn oral or written statement of a city attorney. Municipal law enforcement officers may execute such warrant, and property seized pursuant to the warrant may be admissible as evidence in a municipal court. However, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f) precludes the use of a search warrant to obtain a blood sample from a person who has refused to submit to a blood, breath or urine test pursuant to that statute. An ordinance authorizing such procedure would be in conflict with the state statute prohibiting further testing after an informed refusal. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 40, section 2; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1005, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 41, section 1; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1567(m); K.S.A. 12-4504; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 22-2202, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 133, section 1; K.S.A. 22-2502; 22-2503; 22-2507; L. 1986, ch. 40, section 1.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-116a provides for the assignment of a new VIN to vehicles that have been assembled or restored, or upon which the proper identification number is in doubt. The vehicle is checked for stolen parts; if none are found, a new VIN is assigned and the vehicle returned to its owner in accordance with the procedure outlined. If there is evidence of fraud, the vehicle must be seized and disposed of as mandated by K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-116 and K.S.A. 22-2512. However, the forfeiture provisions of K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-116 and K.S.A. 22-2512 do not authorize an e̲x̲ p̲a̲r̲t̲e̲ destruction or sale of private property without some compliance with due process requirements of notice and an opportunity to be heard. For this reason, the disposition of vehicles under K.S.A 1985 Supp. 8-116 must be determined in an in̲ r̲e̲m̲ proceeding filed by the state.

Book excerpt: "K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 19-805(b) authorizes a sheriff, in his or her discretion, to require staff attendance at meetings and seminars which the sheriff determines to be beneficial to the operation of the office, within the limits of the sheriff's budget as approved by the county commissioners. In view of the discretionary nature of the activity, the expenditures authorized under subsection (b) are subject to the general rule that the authority and responsibility for county expenditures is vested in the board of county commissioners. A policy of "shared discretion" could effectively reconcile the interests of the sheriff and the commissioners in regard to this statute, if the commissioners would approve a specific sum in the sheriff's budget each year to be expended for attendance at meetings and seminars. In this way, the sheriff could exercise his or her authority under the statute within the limits of the approved budget without seeking prior approval from the commissioners. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-212; 19-229; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 19-805; 74-5607a."
