19-2766a. Same; enforcement of resolutions;
penalties for violations.
The board of directors of an improvement district organized and established
pursuant to K.S.A. 19-2753 et seq., and amendments thereto, shall have
the power to enforce all resolutions passed pursuant to this act or the act
of which this act is amendatory. Such resolutions may be enforced by
enjoining violations thereof or by prescribing penalties for violations of
such resolutions, either by fine, or by confinement in the county jail, or
by both such fine and confinement. The sheriff or the county law
enforcement agency of the county in which such district is located shall be
responsible for the enforcement of resolutions of such district. Unless
otherwise
provided by the resolution that defines and makes punishable the violation
of such resolution, the penalty imposed shall be in accordance with the
penalties established by law for conviction of a class C misdemeanor. In
no event shall the penalty imposed for the violation of a resolution exceed
the penalties established by law for conviction of a class B misdemeanor.
Prosecution for any such violation shall be commenced in the district court
in the name of the district and shall be conducted in the manner provided
by law for the prosecution of misdemeanor violations of state laws. Writs
and process necessary for the prosecution of such violations shall be in
the form prescribed by the judge or judges of the courts vested with
jurisdiction of such violations by this act, and shall be substantially in the
form of
writs and process issued for the prosecution of misdemeanor violations of
state laws. Each improvement district shall provide all necessary supplies,
forms and
records at its own expense.
