K.S.A. 14-605, the board of hospital trustees shall, on or before the tenth
day of July of each year, file with the governing body of the city a budget
for the ensuing budget year, which shall be the ensuing calendar year, and
shall accompany such budget with a condensed budget to be published as a
part of the regular city budget. At the hearing on the regular city budget
there shall be a hearing on the hospital budget, and all persons within the
hospital territory may appear at the hearing and be heard. The budget may
be modified and reduced but not increased before final adoption and the
budget may be adopted by the hospital board immediately after the hearing
or afterward. A copy of the adopted budget shall be certified by the
chairman and secretary to the governing body of the city.
The governing body of the city shall make a tax levy not exceeding
one-half mill, according to the requirements of the budget, for hospital
purposes, and such levy shall be extended by the county clerk over the
entire hospital territory within the county and such levy shall not be
included within the total aggregate tax levy limit of the city. Where the
added territory extends into an adjacent county the city clerk shall
certify the hospital levy to the county clerk of the adjacent county and he
or she shall extend the levy on all the tangible taxable property of such
territory in his or her county. Upon the receipt of the revenue provided by
such levy from the county treasurer or treasurers the city treasurer shall
turn the money over to the treasurer of the board of hospital trustees,
taking his or her receipt therefor.
