Notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 12-6a06, whenever a joint storm
water drainage district is created under K.S.A. 12-6,102, the governing
body of the city and the board of county commissioners of the county shall
publish the joint resolution creating the district once each week for two
consecutive weeks in the official newspaper of the county. At the same time
as the joint resolution is published for the last time, the city or county
clerk shall mail to the owners of the property made liable to pay an assessment
at their last known post office address, a notice that a joint resolution
has been adopted to create the joint storm drainage system and a statement
of the cost proposed to be assessed against the land so owned. If, within
sixty (60) days following the last publication of the resolution and the
mailing of the notices to the individual landowners, a petition protesting
the creation of the district signed by not less than five percent (5%) of
the qualified electors of the proposed district is filed with the county
election officer, no district shall be created unless the proposition has
been submitted to and approved by a majority of the qualified electors of
the district voting at an election called and held thereon. Qualified elector
for the purpose of this act shall mean any person eighteen years of age
or over who is a resident of the proposed joint storm drainage district
or who owns land within the proposed district. Such election shall be noticed,
called and held in the manner prescribed for the noticing, calling and holding
of elections under the general bond law.
