Book Description
The cash basis and budget laws apply only to subdivisions of the state authorized by law to raise money by taxation. A board of directors of a city library established pursuant to K.S.A. 12-1219 et seq. has no authority to raise money by tax; therefore, the fiscal affairs of such board are not subject to either the cash basis or budget laws. Cited herein: K.S.A. 10-1101; 10-1102; 10-1103; 10-1113; 12-1219; 12-1220; 12-1225; 79-2925.

Book Description
The Kansas open records act (KORA) requires public records to be disclosed upon request unless a law permits or requires closure of a specific public record. A settlement agreement entered into by a city meets the definition of a public record, and is subject to the KORA. There is no exemption provision allowing the settlement agreement to be confidential under the KORA. It is our opinion that a contractual term attempting to close the conditions of the settlement is void as against public policy. The Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) declares as the policy of this state that meetings for the conduct of governmental affairs and the transaction of governmental business be open to the public. Based on this policy, no binding action shall be taken during closed executive sessions. A city may not take binding action on a settlement agreement during executive session. Cited herein: K.S.A.45-215; 45-216; K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 45-217; 45-221; K.S.A. 75-4317; K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 75-4319.

Book Description
Any information maintained and kept by a public agency is considered part of the public record, irrespective of the original source of the information or the purposes of record keeping. Insurance information in the possession of the division of vehicles is part of a public record. The division of vehicles is required by statute to charge a fee for disclosing information concerning the insurance coverage of any licensed driver. However, a data processor, under contract, is not seeking to inspect or to obtain copies of public records; its sole purpose is to manipulate the database and develop new programs for easier access. Therefore, such an entity is not a requester of public records within the meaning of the KORA and the department of revenue is not required to charge the entity pursuant to the KORA or other statutes listed herein. Citedherein: K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 45-217; K.S.A. 45-219; 74-2012; 74-9301; 74-9302; 74-9304.
