12-2814. Tax levies; validation of election and proceedings prior to
January 1, 1974; purpose of levy.
(a) The metropolitan transit authority shall not have power to levy
taxes for any purpose.
(b) In any city in which the proposition to authorize such city to
levy a tax not to exceed one mill to carry out the purposes of the
metropolitan transit authority act has been submitted to and approved by
a majority of the electors of such city voting on the proposition at an
election held prior to January 1, 1974, the levy of such tax by the
city and all proceedings in connection therewith are hereby validated
and confirmed, notwithstanding the absence of authority by such city to
adopt the ordinance authorizing the levy upon submission to and
approval thereof by the electors. Any such city may levy an annual tax
not to exceed one mill upon the taxable tangible property within
such city. The moneys derived from such tax levy shall be for the
benefit of the metropolitan transit authority established in such city
for the purpose of providing funds for the operation of the authority
and for guaranteeing payment of any revenue bonds issued by such
authority pursuant to K.S.A. 12-2808 and to pay a portion of the principal
and interest on bonds issued by cities under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774,
and amendments thereto.
