20-626. Additional courtrooms in counties over
300,000; no-fund
warrants; tax levies.
The board of county commissioners of any county in this state having a
population of more than 300,000
is hereby authorized to issue no-fund warrants for the purpose of paying all
costs incurred in providing additional quarters in any available space of the
courthouse for the holding of court and jury and retiring rooms, except
that before such warrants shall be issued the board
of county commissioners shall have received from all of the judges of the
appropriate court a resolution certifying to necessity of additional quarters.
Such no-fund warrants shall be issued in the manner and form, bear interest and
be redeemed as prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2940, and amendments thereto,
except that they may be issued without the approval of the state
court of tax appeals, and without the notation required by said section.
The board of county commissioners shall make a tax levy at the first tax
levying period after such warrants are issued, sufficient to pay such warrants
and the
interest thereon, except that in lieu of making only
one tax levy, the county commissioners may, if it deems it advisable, make a
tax levy each
year for not to exceed five years in approximately equal
installments for the purpose of paying said warrants and the interest
thereon. All such tax levies shall be in addition to all other levies
authorized or limited by law and shall not be subject to or within the
aggregate tax levy limitation prescribed by article 19 of chapter 79 of the
Kansas Statutes Annotated and acts amendatory thereof. None of the provisions
of the state budget law shall apply to any expenditure which has been
provided for by the issuance of warrants under this act.
