Book excerpt: A joint (city-school district) district recreation system established under the provisions of L. 1987, ch. 71, section 4(c) is a "new recreation system" and is subject to a one mill levy limitation (for general purposes) in its first year of operation.

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. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-3601; 72-8801; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318.

Book excerpt: Since it is the client's intent which governs the distinction between privileged and non-privileged communications, a determination of whether or not information exchanged between attorney and client is privileged requires a case-by-case consideration. To ensure compliance with the dictates of Canon 4 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and K.S.A. 60-426, when a supervising agency requests that an attorney release particular client information for enumerative or evaluative purposes, the attorney may either obtain the client's consent to do so, or, if the client refuses, compile the requested data in a less intrusive manner. If, however, the agency requests the data for purposes of determining a client's financial eligibility onto satisfy funding requirements, the exception to the privilege under DR-4-101(C)(4) would apply, making the aforementioned precautions unnecessary. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-217; 45-221; 60-426; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 20-3100, Supreme Court Rule No. 225, D.R. 4-101.

Download or read book Attorney General Opinion No 1987 121 written by Robert T. Stephan and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: K.S.A. 20-105 provides that to be qualified to hold the office of justice of the supreme court or judge of the court of appeals, a person must have been regularly admitted to practice law in Kansas and have engaged in the active and continuous practice of law for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of appointment as justice or judge. Though the strict definition of "active practice" would require that the legal activities of the person in question be pursued on a full-time basis and constitute his regular business, the general rule that statutory provisions imposing qualifications for office should be construed in favor of those seeking to hold office would serve to soften this requirement. Thus, a potential nominee need not be a full-time trial attorney to be considered as actively engaged in the practice of law, and is not automatically disqualified merely for holding a position which does not require legal expertise. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-105; 20-3002; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 22-3707.

However, individuals who act as city attorney and municipal judge, under such an ordinance, are d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲ officers of the city, and their acts are valid insofar as they involve the public and third parties.
