12-646b. City of Halstead authorized to establish a flood control improvements fund.
(a) The governing body of the city of Halstead, Kansas,
may establish, by adoption of an ordinance, a flood control improvements fund.
The ordinance establishing such fund, and any amendments thereto, may
provide for the budgeted transfer of moneys from other city funds lawfully available for
improvement purposes to the flood control improvements fund, including moneys in
the city's federal general revenue sharing fund and general fund. The
governing body of the city is hereby authorized to levy a tax upon all
tangible taxable property within the city to finance any flood control
improvements authorized pursuant to K.S.A. 12-635 to 12-646a, inclusive,
and amendments thereto. Revenue derived from such levy shall be deposited
in the flood control improvements fund. Any
general property tax specifically levied for the use of such fund shall be
authorized by ordinance adopted under the provisions of section 5 of
article 12 of the Kansas constitution.
(b) Moneys in the flood control improvements fund may be used to finance, in
whole or in part, any flood control improvement
authorized pursuant to K.S.A. 12-635 to 12-646a, inclusive, and amendments
thereto, and any other costs or expenses incurred thereunder. The ordinance may provide
that disbursements from such fund may be made for engineering and other
advance flood control improvement plans and studies and that reimbursements may
be made to the fund from bond proceeds, special
assessments or state or federal aid available for the completed project.
(c) Except for such reimbursed expenses, no moneys shall be credited to
such special fund except as may be budgeted annually, or transferred by the
annual budget from
other funds. Such fund shall not thereafter be subject to the
provisions of K.S.A. 79-2925 to 79-2937, inclusive, and amendments thereto.
In making the budget of the city, the amounts credited to, and the
amount on hand in, such special fund and the amount expended therefrom
shall be shown thereon for the information of the taxpayers of the city.
Moneys in such fund may be invested in accordance with the provisions of
K.S.A. 10-131, and amendments thereto, with interest thereon credited to such fund.
(d) If the governing body of the city determines that money which has
been transferred to such special fund or any part thereof is not needed for
the purposes for which so transferred, the governing body, by adoption of
a resolution, may transfer such amount not needed to the general or other
fund from which it was derived and such transfer and expenditure thereof
shall be subject to the budget requirement provisions of K.S.A. 79-2925 to
79-2937, inclusive, and amendments thereto.
