Kansas Statutes Chapter 27. Federal Jurisdiction § 27-316. Same; purpose; creation of separate authority authorized

It is hereby declared to be the policy of the state that to promote the public interest, economy, health, safety, education and general welfare of the cities to which the provisions of this act may be applicable and of the residents and property owners therein that the people be empowered to acquire, own, maintain, operate, improve and dispose of surplus real or personal properties of the United States, the state of Kansas, any political subdivision thereof or any municipality therein, within or without the cities to which the provisions of this act may be applicable, including, but not limited to, property which may be essential, suitable or desirable for the development, improvement, operation or maintenance of a public airport. Because of the unique problems which exist relative thereto, the creation of an authority separate and distinct from such cities and the counties in which such cities are located is necessary.
