Kansas Statutes Chapter 65. Public Health § 65-3306. State appropriation to water pollution control account; encumbering moneys in account; contributions by municipality

The secretary's annual request for appropriations to the water pollution control account shall be based on an estimate of the fiscal needs for the ensuing budget year, less any amounts received by the secretary from any public or private grants or contributions and moneys in such account shall be used solely for the purposes provided for by this act. Moneys allocated to a municipality shall be encumbered as an expenditure of this account upon the formal letting of a contract for the improvement notwithstanding the date when actual payment is made of the state financial assistance. Any municipality may contribute moneys to the state water pollution control account. If there are no uncommitted or unencumbered moneys in the water pollution control account, any municipality applying for any water pollution control project as defined in K.S.A. 65-3302, and amendments thereto, shall as a condition of such application certify in writing to the secretary that a contribution in the amount of 25% of the eligible cost of such project will be made to the water pollution control account by such municipality prior to formal letting of a construction contract. Upon receipt by the secretary, each such contribution shall be retained in a subaccount of the water pollution control account for use solely in the project for which the municipality has made application.
