Book Description
K.S.A. 80-410 provides that the treasurer of each Kansas township shall have the duty of publishing or causing to be published a financial statement of the township following the meeting of the township board in December of each year. As the statute requires the issuance of a "full and detailed statement, duly verified, of the receipts, expenditures and liabilities" of the township, a treasurer may not substitute a summary which shows totals for categories of expenditures rather than individual items. Cited heren: K.S.A. 19-228, 80-140, L. 1980, ch. 118, section 1.

Book Description
For purposes of civil proceedings under the Code for Care of Children, the legislature defined types of behavior which would constitute sexual abuse by reference to sex offenses in the criminal code, however, it did not thereby intend to adopt a criminal definition of sexual abuse. Thus, while certain acts described as sex offenses in the criminal statutes may not be punishable crimes if committed with a child age 16 years or older; those same acts may constitute abuse of that child under the definition of that term in the Code for Care of Children. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-3501, 21-3503, 21-3504 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 109; 21-3509, 21-3510, 21-3511, 21-3516, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 38-1502 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 140, 42 U.S.C. sections 5102, 5104, 45 C.F.R. section 1340.2, 1340.14, 48 Fed. Reg. 3698 (January 26, 1983).

Book Description
K.S.A. 82a-1316 provides that any contract for the withdrawal of water held in conservation storage by the state may be amended by written agreement of the parties, provided that such amendment does not affect the rate per unit of water or the minimum charge payable each year. Provisions specifying the point of withdrawal of water, however, may be amended so as to change the reservoir named in the contract. Such an amendment must, in order to have effect, be transmitted to and approved by the legislature in the same manner as water purchase contracts. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-3435, 82a-1301, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-1307, K.S.A. 82a-1316, L. 1976, ch. 441, section 4, L. 1982, ch. 438, section 1.

Book Description
The Kansas Water Office, as the successor to the authority of the Kansas Water Resources Board, may enter into agreements with the federal government by which water may be held in storage by the state in projects constructed by agencies of the federal government. As provided by K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-934, such agreements are binding upon the state to the extent that future appropriations are made in support thereof. While no applicable sections of the Kansas Constitution limit the period of time an appropriation may extend, K.S.A. 46-155 imposes a limit of at most four years for capitol improvement appropriations. As no exception has been made for water storage agreements, the Kansas Water Office is without authority to make agreements which do not contain the limiting language provided by K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-934. However, as this statute does authorize the Water Office to reimburse the federal government for damages resulting from the use of, or a release from, water storage, it may agree to language which states this in a contract. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-3405, 46-155, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 75-4704b, 82a-934, Kan. Const., Art. 2, section 24, Art. 11, sections 6,7,9, 42 U.S.C.A. section 1962d-5b.

Book Description
The filing deadline for all city elections (in the absence of a charter ordinance providing otherwise) is 12:00 o'clock noon of the Tuesday preceding by 10 weeks the first Tuesday in April. Said deadline is mandatory, and the only recourse for a candidate, who was prevented from filing for a city office because of the failure of the city clerk to keep his or her office open until 12:00 o'clock noon on the prescribed date, is to seek relief from a court of law. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-2109, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 157, section 6.

Book Description
A city ordinance which purports to authorize "independent contractors" to exercise the sovereign power of the city is contrary to statewide public policy, and is void. 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. Additionally, the legal and judicial services provided by said individuals constitute "employment," as said term is defined in the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Act, and social security contributions are payable by the city with respect to remuneration paid for such services. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-2301, 40-2302, 40-2305, 60-1205, L. 1983, ch. 157, section 1, Kan. Const., Art. 9, section 5.

Book Description
If one or more cooperative agreements are entered into by those parties specified in 29 U.S.C.A. section 1533(a)(1), then sums available for those purposes specified in section 1533 are to be provided by the Governor to the state education agency responsible for education and training. In Kansas, this agency is the State Board of Education. Thus, if one or more cooperative agreements are made, the federal moneys provided the state under 29 U.S.C.A. section 1533 must be made available to the State Board of Education. Those moneys may not be made available directly to service delivery areas. The State Board, of course, must use the moneys received for the purposes, and subject to the requirements, prescribed in section 1533. Cited herein: 20 U.S.C.A. section 2461; 29 U.S.C.A. sections 1503, 1531, 1533.
