Attorney General Opinion No. 1987-149
Oct 9, 1987
A letter from a private attorney to a city councilmember in the possession of a public agency is a public record. Such a record, however, is not subject to mandatory disclosure as it fails within one of the exceptions listed in the Kansas Open Records Act, correspondence between a private individual and a public agency. Therefore, the public agency has discretion whether to make the letter available to the public.

The legislative intent for the use of moneys in the family and children trust fund was to benefit local projects which relate to problems of families and children. The provider of the benefit need not be a local agency or organization. Moneys from the fund may be used for projects administered by a statewide agency or organization so long as those projects confer an actual benefit directly to community-based programs.

K.S.A. 82a-619 expressly grants rural water districts the power to acquire real and personal property. A rural water district's power to sell property is implied from this express grant of power to acquire and hold property. No specific procedures exist for the sale of rural water district property. Accordingly, Douglas County Rural Water District No. 1 may sell or dispose of real or personal property as long as general requirements concerning any sale of municipally-owned property are observed.
