tax levy, use of proceeds; issuance of bonds; election required;
designation of infirmary or county home as home for the aged.
Any county may establish a "home for the aged," the same to be used as a
home for aged persons, and such other persons as the board of county
commissioners of the county shall direct, under such rules and
regulations as the board of county commissioners shall prescribe. Homes
for the aged shall also be construed, for the purposes of this act, to
mean personal care homes, boarding homes, and nursing homes. Such homes
for the aged as defined above shall be established in the following
manner:
(a) The board of county commissioners of any county is hereby
authorized to make an annual tax levy of not to exceed two mills upon
the taxable tangible property of the county, or to issue and sell
general obligation bonds of such county, for the purpose of creating and
providing a special fund to be used in acquiring a site for, and the
building, equipping, repairing, remodeling and furnishing of a home for
the aged or for any one or more of such purposes. Said tax levy shall
also be made to pay a portion of the principal and interest on bonds
issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments
thereto, by cities located in the county. Said tax levy may be made
annually for a period not to exceed two years until sufficient funds
have been created for said purpose or purposes. The board of county
commissioners shall determine the total amount necessary to be raised
for such purposes by the tax levy, but such amount shall not exceed
four-tenths (4/10) of the one percent (1%) of the assessed tangible
valuation of the county, and the aggregate of any such bonds issued and
sold shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the assessed valuation of said
county and the amount so determined shall be included in the resolution
hereinafter provided for. The interest and principal of such fund may be
used for the purposes as in this act provided. No tax levies or bond
issue shall be made under the provisions of this section until a
resolution authorizing the making of such tax levies to create such
special fund or authorization to issue bonds be passed by the board of
county commissioners nor until the question has been submitted to the
voters at an election called for such purpose or at the next general
election.
(b) If the board of county commissioners adopts a resolution as
provided in subsection (a) then such board of county commissioners shall
submit the question to the qualified electors of the county at the next
general election to be held in the county, or if no general election
shall be held within six months then at a special election called for
that purpose. The tax herein authorized in subsection (a) is in addition
to all other tax levies authorized by law, and shall not be subject to
the limitations prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1947 and amendments
thereto. Bonds issued under this act by any county shall not be subject
to nor counted in determining the application of any other law limiting
the amount of indebtedness of such county.
(c) The board of county commissioners may, by resolution designate a
present existing county infirmary or county home to be a home for the
aged, and after such resolution, the provisions of this act shall be
applicable to such infirmary or home.
(d) The said county is hereby authorized, pending the actual
collection and receipt of such proceeds authorized in subsections (a)
and (b) to issue warrants of said county in an amount not exceeding the
amount to be realized by such tax levy and not exceeding the amount
necessary for such improvements. Such warrants shall be paid through the
proceeds of the special levy hereinbefore authorized.
