The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.
The roll was called with forty senators present.
The President introduced guest chaplain, Pastor Tom Blasco, Great Plains Com-
munity Church, Overland Park, Kansas, who delivered the invocation.
Lord, you have said in your word, ``if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of
God, who gives to all men generously, and it will be given to him'' and that ``if we
acknowledge you, you will make our paths straight.'' We acknowledge you and come
to you today to humbly ask for your wisdom, your council, your insight, your direc-
tion, your leadership and for You to make our paths straight. May our activity today
further goodness, truth, virtue and the betterment for the people of Kansas, of whom
we serve. May you guide our minds, our hearts, our deliberations and our session.
We are reminded of the psalmist who said: ``I will lift up my eyes to the mountains,
from whence does my help come? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven
and earth.'' We lift up our eyes and our hearts to you oh God, and recognize our
need of your help. We thank you for hearing us, Amen.

the following:
(1) Provision for charges, which shall be set by the director, subject to approval by the
authority, at a rate which the director shall fix per 1,000 gallons of water at the point of
withdrawal from the reservoir as provided in K.S.A. 82a-1308a, and amendments thereto;
(2) except as provided in subsection (b), provisions for a minimum annual charge to be
paid in either an annual lump sum or in 12 equal monthly installments, whether or not
water is withdrawn during the calendar year. The minimum annual charge shall be the sum
of 50% of the total amount of water contracted for that year multiplied by the rate fixed
under paragraph (1), plus, the remaining 50% of the water reserved under contract for that
year, an amount as interest computed at a rate per annum equal to the average rate of interest earned the past of the monthly net earnings rates for the pooled money investment portfolio for the preceding calendar year on repurchase agreements of less than 30 days' duration entered into by the pooled money investment board on the net amount of moneys
advanced from state funds for costs incurred and associated with that portion of the state's
conservation water supply capacity. The amount of water contracted for during the term
may be based upon either equal annual amounts or an agreed-upon graduated scale which
would be the best estimate at the time of contracting for the purchaser's water needs during
the term of the contract;
(3) provisions that the director shall review and may adjust the rate provided in para-
graph (1) on July 15 of each year effective January 1 of the following year to reflect any
change in experience by substituting the adjusted rate for the rate then stated in the contract;

provided under paragraph (2) on the sixth anniversary of the execution of the contract and
each annual anniversary thereafter, if the contractor does not begin full payment for the
water under contract and another water user is ready, willing and able to contract for such
water;
(5) provisions that water may be withdrawn in any calendar year up to the quantity used
to compute the minimum annual charge under paragraph (2) without additional charge;
(6) provisions that water may be withdrawn in any calendar year in excess of the quantity
used to compute the minimum annual charge under paragraph (2) but not to exceed the
full amount specified in the contract for each year, upon payment of a charge therefor which
shall be computed at the rate fixed under paragraph (1) for all water actually withdrawn. In
addition, an amount shall be paid, on the unused balance of the water reserved under
contract that calendar year, as interest computed as a rate per annum equal to the average
of interest earned the past calendar year on repurchase agreements of less than 30 days'
duration entered into by the pooled money investment board on the net amount of moneys
advanced from state funds for costs incurred and associated with that portion of the state's
conservation water supply capacity;
(7) provisions that if the total amount of waters contracted for withdrawal from any
reservoir in any year is greater than the supply available from that reservoir, the director,
subject to approval by the authority, will apportion the available waters among the persons
having contracts therefor as may best provide for the health, safety and general welfare of
the people of this state as determined by the authority, and neither the state nor the authority
shall be responsible or have any legal liability for any insufficiency of water or apportionment
thereof;
(8) additional provisions that the director finds reasonable and necessary to protect the
public's interest and to achieve the purpose set forth in article 9 of chapter 82a of Kansas
Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto; and
(9) additional provisions, within the purview of this act, that the director finds reasonable
and necessary to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the people of this state.
(b) Every contract entered into under the authority of K.S.A. 82a-1305, and amend-
ments thereto, may provide, if the parties agree, that the beginning of the payment period
be deferred until water is available and whenever, in order to use such water, bonds are
required to be issued or the construction of transmission or treatment facilities is required
as follows: If water is not available at the time of contracting, for a maximum of three years
from the date the water first becomes available, or until actual use of the water commences,
whichever occurs first. If water is available at the time of contracting, the beginning of the
payment period may be deferred to a date three years from the date of the contract, or until
actual use of the water commences, whichever occurs first.
Sec. 6. K.S.A. 82a-1308a is hereby amended to read as follows: 82a-1308a. (a) On July
15 of each year, effective January 1 of the following year, the director, subject to the approval
of the authority, shall fix the rate provided for in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 82a-1306, and
amendments thereto. The rate fixed shall be equal to the sum of the following components
computed as provided in this section:

advanced from the state general fund for payment of the amortized capital costs incurred
and associated with the state's conservation water supply capacity divided by the greater of:
(A) Fifty percent of the total amount of water under each contract from the state's conser-
vation storage water supply capacity in the preceding year; or (B) the total amount of water
withdrawn under each contract from the state's conservation storage water supply capacity
in the preceding year;

or (B) the total amount of water withdrawn under each contract from the state's conservation
storage water supply capacity in the preceding year; and
(4) the amount necessary to repay the operation, maintenance and repair costs associ-
ated with the state's conservation water supply capacity based on the actual costs of oper-
ation, maintenance and repair of the state's conservation water supply capacity in the pre-
ceding year divided by the greater of: (A) Fifty percent of the total amount of water under
each contract from the state's conservation storage water supply capacity in the preceding
year; or (B) the total amount of water withdrawn under each contract from the state's
conservation storage water supply capacity in the preceding year; and
(5) an amount equal to $.025 as a depreciation reserve cost to be dedicated for the
purposes provided for in K.S.A. 82a-1315b, and amendments thereto.
(b) In computing such rates, the director shall consider the state's conservation water
supply capacity from all sources as though impounded in one single reservoir. No water
supply capacity of a reservoir shall be considered to be in such capacity until the year in
which the state incurs contract obligations for the project. The rate so fixed for each year
shall be the same for each contract under K.S.A. 82a-1305, and amendments thereto, for
withdrawal from every reservoir. The rate so fixed for each twelve-month period from Jan-
uary 1 to December 31 shall be the same for every contract under K.S.A. 82a-1305, and
amendments thereto.
Sec. 7. K.S.A. 82a-1315b is hereby amended to read as follows: 82a-1315b. (a) The

1308a, and amendments thereto; (2) the operation, maintenance and repair costs associated
with the state's conservation water supply capacity; and (3) the costs in administering and
enforcing the provisions of this act, shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of
the state conservation storage water supply fund which is hereby established. The director
shall provide the treasurer with an accounting of the total remittances and shall deposit
money only to the credit of the state conservation storage water supply fund after the full
amount of the costs attributable to the water marketing fund from the preceding calendar
year have been repaid. For purposes of calculating the rate in K.S.A. 82a-1308a, and amend-
ments thereto, effective beginning calendar year 1986, all moneys received pursuant to this
act since 1975 shall be credited for repayment of the components in the following order:
K.S.A. 82a-1308a (1), (4), (3), (2), (5).
(c) The state conservation storage water supply fund shall serve in part as a savings fund
to further the purpose of this act and the fund shall retain all be credited amounts for interest
earned thereon in accordance with subsection (e). The director may accept or receive mon-
eys from any source, governmental or private, for the purposes for which expenditures may

acquisition or development of conservation storage water supply in impoundments deemed
necessary to implement the state water plan, including expenditures related to the issuance
of revenue bonds for such purposes and nonwater supply benefits associated with such
purposes.
(e) On or before the 10th of each month, the director of accounts and reports shall transfer from the state general fund to the conservation storage water supply fund interest earnings based on:

(2) the net earnings rate of the pooled money investment portfolio for the preceding month.'';
