Kan. Stat. § 12-1680b
No bonds shall be issued under the provisions of this act until the governing body of such city or county shall have adopted a resolution finding that the acquisition of such system is necessary. Such resolution shall describe, in general terms, equipment to be acquired and the estimated cost thereof. Such resolution shall also provide that the city or county proposes to issue general obligation bonds in an amount which shall be stated in said resolution unless, within sixty (60) days following final publication of the resolution, a petition protesting the acquisition of such system and the issuance of such bonds, signed by not less than five percent (5%) of the qualified electors of such city or county, is filed with the county election officer. Such resolution shall be published once each week for two (2) consecutive weeks in the official city or county newspaper. If no sufficient protest is filed with the prescribed time period, such city or county may acquire the equipment necessary for such system and issue and sell said general obligation bonds pursuant to the provisions of article 1 of chapter 10 of Kansas Statutes Annotated.
