Kansas Statutes Chapter 24. Drainage and Levees § 24-419. Board to determine work to be done; surveys; estimates; reports

That the board of directors, subject to the limitations contained in the next preceding section, shall have power and it shall be its duty to determine what work is necessary to be done, levees constructed or other improvements made to protect its district from overflow or damage and injury resulting therefrom, and whether the cost thereof shall be defrayed by issuing bonds to be paid by the levy of general taxes or by the levy of special taxes or assessments; but before any bonds shall be issued, special taxes levied or liability of any kind incurred by it, the board of directors shall cause accurate surveys of all work deemed necessary by it to be done, and accurate estimates and calculations to be made by some competent engineer, who shall make a written report thereof, showing the amount, character and kind of work to be done and the location and probable cost thereof, and return and file the same, with all plans and specifications, in the office of its secretary, which report shall at all times be open to public inspection.
