Article 6.--HOSPITALS
14-602.Hospital site and building; tax levy, use of proceeds; petition
and election.
The governing body of any city of the second class may levy a tax on
each dollar of assessed valuation of all property in the city, for the
purpose of acquiring a site and building a hospital in the city and paying
a portion of the principal and interest on bonds issued by such city
under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774 and amendments
thereto. Before such tax is levied, a petition fixing the amount of
the levy, the cost of the site, and the cost of the building, signed by
not less than 40% of the electors of such city, as shown by
the official vote cast at the last preceding general election in the
city, shall be presented to such governing body, asking that such a tax
be levied for such purpose. Upon receipt and approval of the petition
by the governing body thereof, the governing body
shall pass a resolution approving such petition, declaring such
hospital to be a public benefit and ordering that the levy of
the tax be made.
The resolution shall be published once each week for two
consecutive weeks in the official newspaper published in the city. If
a petition signed by at least 40% of the electors of the city
and protesting the acquisition of the site, the building
of the hospital and the levying of the
tax is presented to the governing body within 60 days from the date of the passage of
the resolution, the governing body shall submit the proposition to make
such levy, stating the amount of such levy, to a vote of the qualified electors
of the city at an election called for that purpose. The election shall be
held at a date not more than 90 days from the date of the filing of the
protest petition. If a majority of the qualified voters of the
city voting at such election vote in favor of the levying of the tax,
the governing body shall at once proceed to make the levy.
