Book Description
K.S.A. 72-5428(b) specifically empowers a factfinding board to hold such hearings on the issues upon which impasse exists, as the fact-finding board may deem appropriate. Nothing in K.S.A. 72-5428 prohibits a fact-finding hearing from being open to the public. K.S.A. 72-5423(b) does not require fact-find hearings either to be open or closed to the public. Thus, the determination of a fact-finding board to conduct a hearing under K.S.A. 72-5428, which is open to the public, does not violate the law. Since K.S.A. 72-5430(b)(7) and (c)(4) declare it to be a prohibited practice willfully to refuse to participate in good faith in fact-finding efforts as provided in K.S.A. 72-5428, a refusal, by either party, to participate in good faith in a fact-finding hearing, which is open to the public, might be determined to be a prohibited practice. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-5423, 72-5428, 72-5430.

Book Description
Through the imposition of fines for unlawful conduct, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(d) imposes criminal liability. In addition, subsection (a) of that statute does not appear to violate the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, although it only imposes liability upon a limited class of persons. Moreover, that subsection appears to convey a sufficiently definite warning as to the conduct proscribed therein, so as to avoid being unconstitutionally vague and uncertain. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901, 8-1909, K.S.A. 8-2116, 8-2204, 21-3105, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 21-4503, U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

Book Description
L. 1981, Ch. 156 section 2(g) does not require that an inmate convicted of a class A, B or C felony by reason of aiding, Abetting, advising or counseling another to commit a crime, or by reason of the principle provided for in subsection (2) of K.S.A. 21-3205, serve one-half of the minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the court. Rather, the law requires that the inmate serve one-half of the term of imprisonment which would be required had not the aiding, abetting, etc. come into play. Thus, on a class A felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after seven and one-half years of confinement and on a class B or C felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after service of one-half of the minimum sentence imposed less good time credits available. Cited herein: L. 1981, Ch. 156.

Book Description
Pursuant to the provisions of certain statutes whereby cities may undertake work on private property and assess the cost thereof against the property, a city may assess only actual costs incurred by the city. A city may not, under said statutes, assess a purely arbitrary amount which purports to represent administrative and publication costs incurred by the city. However, where a city may demonstrably measure the administrative costs and publication costs attributable to a specific work project, said costs may be assessed against the property. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-1617e, 12-1617f, 12-1755, 17-4759; L. 1981, Ch. 173, section 54.

Book Description
Employment by a county creates no vested right or property interest, and in the absence of any civil service system which requires that termination be for cause and only after a hearing, an employee may be discharged at any time. Accordingly, the passage by a county commission of an anti-nepotism resolution may affect existing employees as well as those hired subsequent to the date of the resolution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 13-2903, 14-537, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-101a, K.S.A. 19-235, 19-302, 19-503, 19-706b, 19-805, 19-1202, 28-706, 74-605, L. 1921, Ch. 171, section 1.
