The board of county commissioners of any such county may adopt a
resolution stating that, in its opinion, the public safety, service and
welfare will be advanced by the county owning, operating or leasing an
airport and flying field; and that such county may acquire by gift, lease,
purchase or otherwise an airport and flying field or lands for use as an
airport and flying field and for such other purposes not hazardous to
aviation, subject to the approval of the voters at an election held as
hereinafter provided, stating how the question shall appear on the ballot.
If such resolution is adopted, or if a petition favoring the adoption of
such a resolution signed by a number of legal electors of the county equal
to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the total vote cast for the office
of secretary of state in such county at the last preceding general election
is filed with the county clerk, then such resolution shall be adopted and
the same shall be submitted at the next general election to the legal
voters of the county for their approval or rejection in the manner provided
by K.S.A. 25-605. The question shall appear on the ballot in substantially
the same wording as the question is stated in said resolution.
If a majority of those voting on the question shall vote in favor of
such proposition, then the board of county commissioners shall proceed in
