Book Description
In all counties not operating under the county road unit system, the maintenance of township roads and the purchase of equipment necessary to perform such maintenance, is the duty of the township board. K.S.A. 68-526. For this purpose, the township board consists of the trustee, the treasurer and the clerk. Because these are township board functions, no one officer acting alone may substitute his authority for that reserved to the board. To the extent the language of K.S.A. 68-526 conflicts with the general duties delegated to the trustee pursuant to K.S.A. 80-301, the earlier language of K.S.A. 80-301 must be deemed to be repealed by implication. Cited herein: K.S.A. 68-101; 68-526; 68-530; 80-301; 80-401; 80-501.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Section 7(a)(15) of a 1988 Senate Bill No. 727, amending K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 17-5904 by providing an additional exemption to the corporate farming act, is unconstitutional. It violates Sections 1 and 2 of the Kansas Bill of Rights and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in that it establishes an arbitrary classification that does not bear a rational relationship to the purpose of the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 17-5902; K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 17-5904; 1988 Senate Bill No. 727; Kan. Bill of Rights, sections 1, 2; U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.

Book Description
A search warrant maybe issued by a district magistrate judge upon the sworn oral or written statement of a city attorney. Municipal law enforcement officers may execute such warrant, and property seized pursuant to the warrant may be admissible as evidence in a municipal court. However, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f) precludes the use of a search warrant to obtain a blood sample from a person who has refused to submit to a blood, breath or urine test pursuant to that statute. An ordinance authorizing such procedure would be in conflict with the state statute prohibiting further testing after an informed refusal. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 40, section 2; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1005, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 41, section 1; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1567(m); K.S.A. 12-4504; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 22-2202, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 133, section 1; K.S.A. 22-2502; 22-2503; 22-2507; L. 1986, ch. 40, section 1.
