Notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 12-6a06, whenever a joint storm water drainage district is created under K.S.A. 12-6,102, the governing body of the city and the board of county commissioners of the county shall publish the joint resolution creating the district once each week for two consecutive weeks in the official newspaper of the county.
