19-3613.Fire districts in Johnson county;
creation; petition; notice and hearing; territory; protest, when; final
resolution; publication.
Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 19-270, the board of county
commissioners of Johnson
county, hereinafter referred to as the county board, may create a fire
district as provided
herein. Upon the filing with the county board of a petition signed by not
less than 200 qualified electors within the limits of the
fire district sought to be created, the county board shall within 30
days after date of such filing set a time and place for a public
hearing on the petition and give notice of such hearing by publication for
three successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in that
part of the county. Any such fire district may include land or territory
within the boundaries of an incorporated city, but only with the approval
of such city. Such approval shall be evidenced by resolution of the
governing body of the city, a certified copy of which shall be filed with
the county clerk and when once filed evidencing such approval, may not
thereafter be withdrawn. The date of hearing on the petition shall be not
more than 10 days after the date of the last publication.
At the hearing, or within 30 days
thereafter, the county board shall
either approve or reject the petition as filed, or may modify the proposed
district by excluding therefrom certain areas as proposed or by adding
certain areas to it and approve the petition as modified in that way. If
any areas be added to the proposed district, then before action of the
county board shall become final the county board shall notify the owners of
such added land by mailing a notice of the proposed addition to the owner
as the names and addresses of such owners appear in the office of the
county clerk.
If no protest in writing is received from such owners within a period of
10 days after giving of such notice, then the resolution creating
such district shall become final. If any such protest is received, then the
county board may at its discretion set a time and place of further hearing
for those owners only whose land is sought to be added to the district as
originally petitioned for and shall give notice thereof by mail as provided
above. Within a period of 10 days following the conclusion of such
hearing, the county board shall either approve the proposal as to the whole
district, as modified, or reject the proposal for the additional area to be
added and then either reapprove or reject the original petition as to all
or part of the land described in it. The action of the county board shall
be by resolution, which shall be published once in a newspaper of general
circulation in that part of the county in which such district is located.
