New rules for dissolving Kansas cities
In Kansas third-class cities, a petition from a majority of qualified voters requires the city council to hold a dissolution vote. It goes on the next primary or general election ballot at least 60 days after the petition is submitted. Voters choose “For a city” or “Against a city,” and the county certifies the results. The city dissolves if two-thirds of qualified voters casting ballots vote against it. Its land comes under township government, and its records go to the township clerk. If city debts remain unpaid, the township trustee must levy enough property tax within the former city limits to pay them. This must happen at the next annual tax levy. The law takes effect upon publication in the statute book.
