Book Description
Amtrack may sell alcoholic beverages in Kansas only if licensed to do so by the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Any license granted by the Director is subject to continued eligibility, compliance with all relevant statutes and rules and regulations, and any required local authorization. While current law may make it impractical for Amtrack to obtain a license to sell alcoholic beverages in Kansas, the legislature may provide for temporary membership in class B clubs located on railroads such as it has for class B clubs located in hotels or municipal airports. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-2601, as amended by L. 1987, ch. 182, section 60; K.S.A. 41-2702, as amended by L. 1987, ch. 182, section 98; L. 1987, ch. 182, sections 87, 88, 89; Kan. Const., Art. 15, section 10.

Book Description
If a person who is not insolvent transfers to a federal land bank (by voluntary conveyance or foreclosure) oil and gas producing interests after assessment but before the payment of personal property taxes, a lien attaches against the property for the unpaid taxes in accordance with K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-2020. (We note the question presented does not involve assessing personal property taxes against the federal land bank [s̲e̲e̲ Attorney General Opinion No. 86-16]. The question presented involves determining the priority of claims against the personal property transferred.) Under this statute the federal land bank takes subject to the lien, is liable for the tax, and has a civil cause of action against the transferor for the amount paid. However, insolvency of the debtor and subsequent transfer of property by the debtor for the benefit of creditors will make the priority issue a question of federal law triggering 31 U.S.C. section 3713 (formerly 31 U.S.C. section 191), priority of government claims. The procedure for obtaining an exemption from the payment of ad valorem property taxes is found in K.S.A. 1986 Supp 79-213. While a federal land bank is exempt from the assessment of ad valorem taxes, as a property owner requesting an exemption it is not exempt from the procedure of filing for an exemption. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-213; K.S.A. 79-329; 79-2109; 79-2110; 79-2111; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-2020; 31 U.S.C. section 3713, formerly 31 U.S.C. section 191.

Book Description
The mere fact that two members of a five-member city council in a city of the third class are married to each other does not violate the open meetings law or any other Kansas statute.

Book Description
Under the provisions of Article 3, section 5 of the Kansas Constitution, no member of the Supreme Court Nominating Commission shall, while he or she is a member, hold any other "public office" by appointment. The term "public office" refers to the common-law concept of a public office, and except where the office of city attorney has been stripped of all prosecutorial and other sovereign power (through the exercise of home rule powers), a city attorney holds a public office. Cited herein: Kan. Const., Article 3, section 5.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
In 3̲2̲4̲ ̲L̲i̲q̲u̲o̲r̲ ̲C̲o̲r̲p̲.̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲D̲u̲f̲f̲y̲, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the State of New York's statutory scheme for maintenance and control of retail liquor prices was in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The Court also held that New York's pricing system would not be saved under the "state-action exemption" from the antitrust laws (due to the fact that the state did not actively supervise the pricing system) or the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution (because the asserted state interests were not substantiated and did not suffice to afford such immunity). In Kansas, distributors are to file current bottle and case prices with the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is required to establish a minimum markup to be added on to the bottle price on file at the time of retail sale. The Board does not regulate the prices posted by distributors and has not adjusted the markup percentage for distilled spirits for approximately ten years. The pricing system for alcoholic liquor sales in Kansas is so closely aligned with that of New York that it too is in violation of antitrust laws. As a practical matter, prices are set by private industry and the State does not "actively" supervise the pricing system. Additionally, the United States Supreme Court held that unsubstantiated claims that the system promotes temperance and protects small liquor retailers are not sufficient to afford immunity under the Twenty-first Amendment. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-1101; 41-1111; 41-1114; 41-1115; 41-1116; 41-1117; 41-1118; K.A.R. 13-4-2; 15 U.S.C. section 1.

Book Description
Pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 19-3548, a city and a public wholesale water supply district may enter into a water purchase contract for a term of forty years and any such contract may include an agreement for the purchase of water not actually received. Such a contract does not violate the cash-basis law (K.S.A. 10-1101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.), and the obligation of a city thereunder is payable solely from the revenues produced by the city's water system. Cited herein: K.S.A. 10-1101; 10-1116; 10-1116b; 19-3545; 19-3546; 19-3548.

Book Description
Service of process is a condition precedent to an employee's request for the provision of defense counsel by a governmental entity, unless such condition is waived. If, after the employee has been served, the entity lawfully refuses to provide for such defense, and if the request was made in accordance with the statute, then the entity must reimburse the employee for attorney expenses incurred as a result of the retention of private counsel. Absent service of process, timely request for, and proper refusal of providing legal defense counsel, no right is conferred on the employee to retain private counsel at the expense of the governmental entity. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-6103, 75-6108, 75-6109.
