Text

Whenever an agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 15-914 and for the purposes stated therein, the governing body of the participating county shall issue and sell its general obligation bonds in an amount necessary to pay the cost of construction and improvement of a swimming pool and related facilities under the provisions of this act. Such bonds shall be issued, registered, sold, delivered and retired in accordance with the provisions of the general bond law. Any such governing body proposing to issue and sell such bonds shall adopt a resolution stating the amount and purpose thereof and shall give notice thereof. Such notice shall be published once each week for two (2) consecutive weeks in the official county newspaper. If, within sixty (60) days next following the last publication of such notice, a petition protesting such bond issue signed by not less than five percent (5%) of the qualified electors of such county is presented to the county election officer, no such issuance and sale of bonds shall be made unless the proposition to issue and sell such bonds has been submitted to and approved by a majority of the qualified electors of the county voting at an election called and held thereon. Such election shall be noticed, called and held in the manner prescribed for the noticing, calling and holding of elections under the general bond law. Tax levies levied by any participating county for the purpose of paying the principal and interest upon any bonds issued under the provisions of this act may be reduced by an amount equal to the contributions made by participating cities and school districts for such purpose under the provisions of K.S.A. 15-914.
