Book excerpt: The provisions of K.S.A. 19-1860 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. do not permit the lease of the facilities of a county hospital established and operated thereunder for use as a medical school. However, since said legislative acts are not uniformly applicable to all counties, the county commissioners of any county to which said statutes apply may adopt a charter resolution exempting the county from all or pertinent portions of said statutory provisions and also providing substitute and additional provisions authorizing such lease. In that event, such lease cannot amount to a divestment of all the county's right and title to such property, unless there is compliance with K.S.A. 1978 Supp. 19-211 regarding the sale or disposition of county property. Further, if such lease is to extend beyond the term of the county commissioners executing the same, the validity thereof depends on whether it is a commitment of a sort reasonably necessary to protection of the public property, interests or affairs being administered.
