city or the governing body thereof may be liable in like manner as
counties are authorized to pay such loss, damages or expense under the
provisions of K.S.A. 19-3304. For the purposes of maintaining and
operating such flood control works as shall be constructed by the United
States army corps of engineers or other agencies of the United States
government, when the same shall have been completed and turned over to
the city, and for the purpose of maintaining and operating any flood
control works or dikes heretofore or hereafter constructed for the
purpose of protecting such city from floods and to pay 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, the governing body of such
city shall be empowered to make an annual tax levy upon all the taxable
tangible property within said city. It shall be the duty of the
governing body of the city to keep all such flood control works and
dikes in serviceable condition and to make such repairs as may, from
time to time, be necessary. Such cities are authorized to regulate
excavations within their city limits as provided in this section, K.S.A.
19-3301 and K.S.A. 19-3309. Applications for excavation
permits filed with the city shall be first considered by the city
