Book Description
Responsibility for the planning, design and construction of buildings for state agencies has been vested by the legislature in the Secretary of Administration, who is advised in the performance of these duties by the state building advisory commission. The existence of this statutory framework evinces a clear intent on the part of the legislature that, as control of such capital improvement projects be kept at the state level, they are therefore not matters of local concern. Accordingly, while deference should be given if possible to city building ordinances, the state is not bound by such local codes in the event of a dispute. However, such pre-emption is not the rule where local zoning and site plan regulations are concerned. There, in the event of a dispute, the district court may balance the interests of the state against those of the municipality, following B̲r̲o̲w̲n̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲K̲a̲n̲s̲a̲s̲ ̲F̲o̲r̲e̲s̲t̲r̲y̲, ̲ ̲F̲i̲s̲h̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲G̲a̲m̲e̲ ̲C̲o̲m̲m̲i̲s̲s̲i̲o̲n̲, 2 Kan.

Book Description
Pursuant to L. 1980, ch. 72, section 3, "personal liability" is imposed upon boards of public utilities and their employees in certain circumstances. Such imposition of "personal liability" does not violate constitutional requirements of equal protection and due process, and is not invalid or unenforceable on the ground of vagueness. Employees of a board of public utilities and board members are not entitled to be indemnified or defended against the personal liability imposed by L. 1980, ch. 72, section 3. Cited herein: K.S.A. 13-1220, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 13-1221, 13-1223, 13-1227, 13-1228, 13-1258, K.S.A. 13-1271, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 75-6101; L. 1980, ch. 72, sections 3, 7, 8, 14, 19, and 22; Kan.

Book Description
Where the legislature has required in K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 13-1221 that a person appointed to fill a vacancy on the Kansas City, Kansas Board of Public Utilities (BPU) "shall serve until the next city or state general election, whichever occurs first, at which time a successor shall be elected to serve the remainder of the unexpired term," there is an apparent legislative intent that any such election be conducted in the manner city elections are conducted, including the requirement that a primary election be held in connection therewith. However, where such election is held at the time of the general election in November, there also is an apparent legislative intent that such election to fill BPU vacancies be subject to the time frames applicable to such general election. Thus, all candidates for each of the BPU positions to be filled at the general election to be held in November 1980 must declare their respective candidacies on or before twelve o'clock noon on June 20, 1980, and if there are more than two candidates for any such position, a primary election shall be held at the time of the primary election to be held on the first Tuesday in August 1980. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 13-1221, 13-1223 (as amended by section 3 of 1980 House Bill No. 2841), K.S.A. 25-203, 25-2101, 25-2107, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 25-2108a.

Book Description
A police officer has express authorization stated in the law to impound a vehicle driven by a defendant arrested under certain circumstances. However, even though such officer is responsible for taking appropriate measures to protect the property of an arrested person, the question of whether the officer's failure to impound such vehicle constitutes a breach of duty, creating an exposure to tort liability, must be resolved by a competent trier of fact in light of all relevant facts and circumstances. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1570, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 75-6103.
