     Let us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God . . .
     We would like to rise very high, Lord, above this chamber, above this
   city, above this world, above time.
     We would like to rise, Lord, to see with Your eyes. Give us the vision
   to see Your Image within those who are most innocent, most helpless, most
   defense less . . . those without voice. Help us to see Your Image in the
   unborn and the aged, the poor and the suffering . . . the lonely.
     We would like to rise, Lord, to hear with Your ears. Give us the ability
   to hear the cries of the down-trodden and confused, the distressed and
   despairing . . . the abused. Help us to offer them hope and consolation,
   dignity and freedom, a certain calm . . . life. Lord, help us to hear with
   Your ears.
     We would like to rise, Lord, to feel with Your heart. Give us the
   courage to feel the torment of those living in fear, those chained by
   addiction, those trapped by ignorance, prejudice . . . pride. Help us to
   endure the trials that await us, as we foster that certain security, that
   liberation from vice, and that education which draws one from the darkness
   of error and propels one toward the light of justice and truth . . .
   freedom. Lord, help us to feel compassion with Your heart.
     We would like to rise, Lord. Transform us. Help to conform our mind and
   our will to Yours, that we might think and act with Your direction. Help
   us to be Your hands and Your feet . . . Your voice. Help us to work for
   ``true justice,'' that all people might know and experience their
   God-given rights of Life and Liberty. Help us to boldly engage our voice .
   . . to profess that these two rights apply to all people. Help us to
   precisely state that no individual's ``choice'' can render these rights
   void.
     We would like to rise, Lord. Transform us to be like You that we might
   experience true happiness and joy.
     We would like to rise very high, Lord, above this chamber, above this
   city, above this world, above time.
     We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

                              EXPLANATIONS OF VOTE
  Mr. Speaker: I vote red against the Feds. Some one, some where,
some how, better use some restraint on ammonia and herbicides. I change to
green reluctantly for atrazine. I vote yes on Sub. HB
2368.--Ted Powers
  Mr. Speaker: I vote no on Sub. HB 2368. Kansas has a national
reputation for having some of the dirtiest surface water in the nation. We are
considering the formation of a $5 million a year state tourism commission. This
is no time to be the first state in the nation to suspend, in whole or in part,
the 1994 surface water quality standards. To do so is not good for the people
of Kansas, the tourism industry or the environment we hope our children will
inherit and enjoy.--Douglas Johnston
  Mr. Speaker: We vote no on substitute for Sub. HB 2368. We support
requiring KDHE to use the expected, rather than the special aquatic life use,
for the mixing zone and low flow provisions to determine perit limits for the
discharge of ammonia and chlorides into Kansas Rivers. We cannot support
suspending water of a maximum of 1 part per billion, and instead use the
drinking water standard of 3 parts per billion. We believe the State of

                                 March 17, 1997                             417

Following adoption of a comprehensive plan, a city planning commission may
adopt and amend regulations governing the subdivision of land. A city planning
commission shall apply subdivision regulations to all land located within the
city and may apply such regulations to land outside of but within three miles
of the nearest point of the city limits provided such land is within the same
county in which the city is located and does not extend more than  1/2 the
distance between such city and another city which has adopted regulations under
this section. A county planning commission may establish subdivision
regulations for all or for parts of the unincorporated areas of the county.
  (b)  Subdivision regulations may include, but not be limited to,
provisions for the: (1) Efficient and orderly location of streets; (2)
reduction of vehicular congestion; (3) reservation or dedication of land for
open spaces; (4) off-site and on-site public improvements; (5) recreational
facilities which may include, but are not limited to, the dedication of land
area for park purposes; (6) flood protection; (7) building lines; (8)
compatibility of design; and   (9) stormwater runoff, including
consideration of historic and anticipated 100-year rain and snowfall
precipitation records and patterns; and (10) any other services, facilities
and improvements deemed appropriate.
  (b) (c)  Subdivision regulations may provide for administrative
changes to land elevations designated on a plat. Such regulations may provide
for plat approval conditional upon conformance with the comprehensive plan.
Such regulations may provide for the payment of a fee in lieu of dedication of
land.  Such regulations may provide that in lieu of the completion of any work
or improvements prior to the final approval of the plat, the governing body may
accept a corporate surety bond, cashier's check, escrow account, letter of
credit or other like security in an amount to be fixed by the governing body
and conditioned upon the actual completion of such work or improvements within
a specified period, in accordance with such regulations, and the governing body
may enforce such bond by all equitable remedies.
  (c) (d)  Before adopting or amending any subdivision regulations,
the planning commis sion shall call and hold a hearing on such regulations or
amendments thereto. Notice of such hearing shall be published at least once in
the official city newspaper in the case of a city or in the official county
newspaper in the case of a county. Such notice shall be published at least 20
days prior to the hearing. Such notice shall fix the time and place for such
hearing and shall describe such proposal in general terms. In the case of a
joint committee on subdivision regulations, such notice shall be published in
the official city and official county newspapers. The hearing may be adjourned
from time to time and at the conclusion of the same, the planning commission
shall prepare its recommendations and by an affirmative vote of a majority of
the entire membership of the commission adopt the same in the form of proposed
subdivision regulations and shall submit the same, together with the written
summary of the hearing thereon, to the governing body. The governing body
either may:   (1) Approve such recommendations by ordinance in a city or
resolution in a county; (2) override the planning commission's recommendations
by a 2/3 majority vote; or (3) may return the same to the planning commission
for further consideration, together with a state ment specifying the basis for
the governing body's failure to approve or disapprove. If the governing body
returns the planning commission's recommendations, the planning com mission,
after considering the same, may resubmit its original recommendations giving
the reasons therefor or submit new and amended recommendations. Upon the
receipt of such recommendations, the governing body, by a simple majority
thereof, may adopt or may

revise or amend and adopt such recommendations by the respective ordinance or
resolution, or it need take no further action thereon. If the planning
commission fails to deliver its recommendations to the governing body following
the planning commission's next regular meeting after receipt of the governing
body's report, the governing body shall consider such course of inaction on the
part of the planning commission as a resubmission of the original
recommendations and proceed accordingly. The proposed subdivision regulations
and any amendments thereto shall become effective upon publication of the
respective adopting ordinance or resolution.  (d)  The provisions of this
section shall become effective on and after January 1, 1992.'';
