Book Description
A popular election, held pursuant to K.S.A. 12-2001, at which the voters disapprove a city ordinance renewing a franchise with a natural gas company renders the ordinance in question void and without effect. The company in question, however, may continue to provide services and the city may continue to accept services according to the terms of the expired franchise under a theory of implied contract. Popular disapproval of an ordinance granting a franchise to a company does not prevent a city governing body from approving a new ordinance which grants a somewhat different franchise to the same company. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-801, 12-2001, 12-2002.

Where a public officer is convicted of perjury during a prior term, arising out of a matter unrelated to the performance of his official duties or to the affairs of the municipality which he serves, the offense was widely disclosed to and known to the electorate prior to and at the time of his reelection, and there is no basis for deeming any actionable conduct to have extended into his present term, his return to office by the electorate for a succeeding term prohibits an ouster proceeding based upon the conviction occurring during the preceding term.
