12-6,102. City-county storm drainage system; resolution; method of assessment.
The governing body of any city and the board of county commissioners of
the county in which such city is located may provide for a system of storm
drainage in any natural drainage area located within the corporate
limits of the city and the adjacent unincorporated area of the county.
The governing body of the city and the board of county commissioners of
the county may by joint resolution create a joint storm drainage district
and provide for the construction of, and maintenance of main and lateral
storm water drains therein. Such joint resolution shall provide for the
method of assessment to be utilized in assessing the cost of improvements
against the property within the district and the portion, if any, of the
cost to be borne by the city at large. Final engineering plans for any
proposed improvement shall be approved by both the governing body of the
city and the board of county commissioners of the county. Improvement projects
within such district, including that portion lying outside the city, shall
be administered by the city and shall be initiated, authorized, and financed
by the issuance of bonds and the levying of special assessments in the manner
provided for the initiation, authorization and financing of improvements
under the provisions of article 6a of chapter 12 of the Kansas Statutes
Annotated and amendments thereto and on the basis of any reasonable assessment
plan which considers land use and which will result in imposing substantially
equal burdens upon property similarly benefited, and in accordance with
the provisions of the joint resolution. Moneys received from special assessments
levied against property located outside the corporate limits of the city
shall be paid to the city for the retirement of bonds issued by the city
for payment of the cost of improvements within such district for which such
assessments were levied.
