19-2822. 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 by 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.
