In a city of the second class with the commission manager form of government which is governed by K.S.A. 14-1305, a person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of commissioner holds office only until the "next city election," at which time someone shall be elected to fill the unexpired term if any portion of the term remains.

Book Description
The legislature may refuse to appropriate moneys to provide funds for a̲ ̲p̲a̲r̲t̲i̲c̲u̲l̲a̲r̲ lease of office space already entered into by a state agency and may direct that no appropriated moneys shall be used for such purpose. However, the legislature may not prescribe that an agency may not enter into a̲n̲y̲ lease for office space without the prior approval of the State Finance Council or some other legislatively-dominated committee. Such a limitation on prospective action by a state agency violates the doctrine of separation of powers and is unconstitutional. Attorney General Opinion No. 81-83 is reaffirmed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-3708, 75-3711, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 75 -3711c, 75-3725a, L. 1984, ch. 23, section 5, L. 1984, ch. 244, sections 1, 2, 23, L. 1981, ch. 32, section 69.

Book Description
As amended by Laws 1984, Chapter 154, Section 1(g), K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 38-1523(g) establishes a policy that law enforcement officers investigating reports of abuse or neglect on school premises do so in street clothes. However, the statute imposes no absolute requirement and allows safety and practical considerations to be taken into account. Accordingly, a small police force could determine that its officers should not take the additional time needed to change from their uniforms into street clothes, and then back again, in making such investigations. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 38-1523, as amended by L. 1984, ch. 154, section 1(g).

Book Description
In S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲R̲o̲s̲e̲, 234 Kan. 1044 (1984), the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that K.S.A. 8-1749a (amended by L. 1984, ch. 39, section 20, effective January 1, 1985), is n̲o̲t̲ unconstitutionally vague and indefinite under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The court said the term "substantially" means less than totally or the whole, but more than imaginary. The term defines a standard between the extremes of total and complete impairment and slight impairment. Since the conclusion reached in Attorney General Opinion No. 84-92 is contrary to the decision of the court in S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲R̲o̲s̲e̲, s̲u̲p̲r̲a̲, the opinion is withdrawn. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1749a, (amended by L. 1984, ch. 39, section 20, effective January 1, 1985); U.S. Const., 14th Amendment.
