Book Description
When the legislature has named a day on which an election is to be held, or places bounds within which it must be held, a proclamation naming a day other than that fixed by the statutes is void and the election confers nothing. K.S.A. 19-204, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 38, section 4 provides that an election regarding a change in the number of county commissioners is to be conducted on the day of the general election, following not less than 60 days the presentation of the petition. Because November 3, 1992, falls within that 60-day period, an election regarding a change in the number of county commissioners for Chase county may not be called for November 3, 1992, but rather, must be called for the date of the general election to be conducted in November, 1994. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-204, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 38, section 4; 25-2502; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2; 25-3602, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 3; 77-201; Kan. Const., art. 4, section 2.

Book Description
Documents circulated by electors of the city of Cherryvale seeking to bring about a change in the form of city government and the number of wards in the city constitute two separate petitions. Each petition must be able to stand on its own in meeting the requirements for a sufficient petition. A recital of the circulator must be included in each petition. A question regarding abandonment of the commission form of government is to be submitted to the qualified electors of the city at the next city or state general or primary election following by not less than 60 days the certification of the petition. A petition requesting that the question be submitted at an election held at any other time is a nullity. Division of the city into wards is essentially an administrative function, and is not subject to initiative and referendum. A petition requesting a change in the number of wards of a city is therefore of no legal consequence. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-184; 12-3013; 14-103; 14-1807; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2; 25-3602, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 3.

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
As it appears no compelling governmental interest is served by the durational residence requirement set forth in K.S.A. 76-1908(b), the requirement results in a violation of the equal protection clause and is therefore unconstitutional. Cited herein: K.S.A. 76-1902b; 76-1908; L. 1889, ch. 235, section 11; U.S. Const., art. I, section 8; U.S. Const., art. IV, section 2; U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

Book Description
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.
