10-816. Cancellation of certain city warrants; balances. (a) On and after July 1, 1957, and in every case occurring heretofore or hereafter, in which the governing body of any city shall have issued a warrant against the city treasurer and a period of two (2) years shall have elapsed since the date of signing of such warrant, during which time no person entitled thereto shall have appeared to claim such warrant, or such warrant shall not have been presented to the city treasurer for payment. Such warrant may, at the discretion of the governing body of such city, be canceled and set aside upon the records of the city. Such records shall show the date of cancellation, and shall recite that such warrant is unpaid but canceled by reason of this section. (b) That in case a warrant shall have been presented to the city treasurer for payment within the two (2) years above provided, and shall not have been paid for want of sufficient funds, or shall have been issued pursuant to law as a no-fund warrant, and shall have been registered, recorded and endorsed pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 10-807, and any amendments thereto, the cancellation provided for in subsection (a) of this act shall apply to such warrant when a period of two (2) years has elapsed subsequent to the publication of a call for such warrant made pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 10-808, and any amendments thereto. (c) That all balances accruing from such unpaid canceled warrants shall revert to the city fund upon which such warrants were drawn. History: L. 1957, ch. 81, § 1; June 29.
