Any city of the state of Kansas that has operated for four years or more
under the provisions of this act, may abandon such form of organization
as is herein provided for and accept either the provisions of the
commission form of government law or the mayor and council form of
government law, then applicable to cities of its population. Before such
abandonment, a proposition to abandon such form of organization and accept
the provisions, either of the mayor and commissioner form of government
law, or the provisions of the mayor and council form of government law,
must first be submitted to a vote of the qualified electors of such city in
the manner provided by K.S.A. 12-184. Whenever the proposition to abandon
such form of organization shall have been defeated at any election, another
election to vote on such proposition shall not be called until after the
expiration of four years from such first election.
Any petition requesting the submission of a proposition hereunder shall
specify the form of government which the petitioners desire the city to
adopt, in case a majority of the votes cast upon the proposition at such
election are in favor of abandoning the city-manager form, and whether the
city shall accept the provisions of the mayor and commissioner form of
government law or the provisions of the mayor and council form of
government law.
The form of the ballots used at any election held hereunder shall be as
follows:
"The city of (naming the city) shall abandon its organization under
article 10 of chapter 12 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated and any acts
amendatory thereto and become a city under the general law governing cities
of like population under (state the form of government, whether the mayor
and commissioner or mayor and council form of government)."

If a majority of the votes cast upon such proposition, at such election,
shall be in favor of abandoning the city-manager plan of government, the
city shall become a city under the general law governing cities of like
population and according to the form designated in the proposition
submitted to the voters at such election. The officers constituting the
governing board of such city, at such time, shall continue to hold their
offices, and the city shall continue to be governed by them as mayor and
commissioners until the next general city election, and, upon the
qualification of the newly elected city officers elected at such city
election, the term of office of the governing board and their powers shall
cease.
The votes cast at any election hereunder shall be counted, canvassed and
declared as required under the laws of the state which are then applicable
to the submission of questions at either special or general elections.
