19-2817. Agreement with department of wildlife and parks.
The board of county commissioners of any county to which this act applies
and the secretary of wildlife and parks are each authorized and empowered
to enter into an agreement to provide for the
building and construction of one or more reservoirs, lakes, dams or
embankments for impounding water on lands in the park and recreational
grounds of any such county and to provide for the use, control and
maintenance of such park and recreational grounds. Nothing in such
agreement shall be construed to prohibit the secretary of wildlife and
parks or the Kansas department of wildlife and parks from the right to
exercise the same functions, rights and authority as though the lands for
such park and recreational grounds had been acquired for the department,
and the agreement between any such county and the secretary shall expressly
provide that, notwithstanding the title to such lands shall be vested in
such county, all rights therein or thereon, waters and water rights, and
for keeping, improving and maintaining them for the use and benefit of
the department shall be unimpaired and shall likewise be public park and
recreational grounds for the use and enjoyment of the public.
