Prev Article 33. - WATER POLLUTION CONTROLNext


65-3306.Same; state appropriation to account; encumbering moneys in account; contributions by municipality; exception to requirements of ad valorem tax reduction fund; exception to requirements of aggregate levy limitation. 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 on which 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 shall as a condition of such application certify in writing to the secretary that a contribution in the amount of twenty-five percent (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.

Notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 79-2960 and 79-2961, any municipality applying for such a water pollution control project may make such contribution from all or such part of its share of the local ad valorem tax reduction fund as may be necessary for such purpose, and to the extent such fund is pledged and used for such purpose the municipality shall not be required to make the tax levy reductions otherwise required by K.S.A. 79-2960 and 79-2961. Taxes levied by any municipality by reason of its failure to make such reduction in its levies shall not be subject to or be considered in computing the aggregate limitation upon the levy of taxes by such municipality under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-5003.
