14-6,109. Same; city authorized to issue bonds to supplement county
funds, when; notice; protest petition; election.
Whenever the board of trustees of a county hospital, such as described
in K.S.A. 14-6,108, shall adopt and file with the city clerk of any such
city a resolution stating that the amount of money derived from the sale of
the bonds described in K.S.A. 14-6,108 is insufficient to properly and
adequately construct such enlargement and addition to the county hospital
and to properly and adequately equip and furnish the same, the governing
body of such city is hereby authorized to issue the bonds of such city in
an amount not exceeding seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000), the
proceeds thereof to be used to supplement the funds derived by the issuance
of bonds by the county for the construction of such enlargement and
addition to the county hospital and for the equipping and furnishing the
same: Provided, That before the issuance of any such bonds, the
governing body of the city shall cause to be published for two (2)
consecutive weeks in the official city paper a notice of its intention to
issue such bonds and unless there is filed in the office of the city clerk
within thirty (30) days after the first publication of said notice a
petition signed by not less than ten percent (10%) of the qualified
electors of said city, determined on the basis of the total vote for the
office of mayor at the last preceding general city election, protesting the
issuance of such bonds, the governing body may proceed to issue and sell
such bonds. If within said thirty (30) days a sufficient protest petition
is filed with the city clerk, the governing body shall submit the question
of issuing such bonds at a regular city election or a special election
called for such purpose.
If a majority of those voting on such proposition shall vote in the
affirmative, the governing body of the city shall proceed to issue and sell
said bonds in accordance with the provisions of the general bond law, and
none of the debt limitations provided by law shall apply to bonds issued
under this act. The proceeds from the sale of such bonds shall be paid by
the city to the board of trustees of such county hospital and shall be
used, together with the amount previously provided by the county, for the
construction of such enlargement and addition to the county hospital and
for the equipping and furnishing the same.
