      13-2429.   Use of certain lands acquired by waterworks board for parking facilities; return of property, when. Whenever the governing body of any city in which a waterworks board has been established in conformance with K.S.A. 13-2414 to 13-2428, both sections inclusive, shall determine that certain real property purchased by the waterworks board in the name of the city, as authorized by law, is not being used for the purposes acquired, the said city governing body may, by resolution, provide for the use of such property for city or public parking facilities, or both. Before any resolution shall be adopted for such use, the governing body shall hold a hearing thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be given by publication in the official city paper at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing. If after such hearing, the city governing body shall make a determination that the waterworks board (1) is not using the property for the purposes acquired, or has declared the same to be surplus property of the board, and (2) that there is immediate need for the use of such property for parking facilities, then the governing body may adopt a resolution providing for the use of such property by the city, and may thereafter use the property for parking facilities.

      The waterworks board of the city may at any time after the adoption of such a resolution by the city, petition the governing body of the city for the return of the possession of the property used for parking facilities by the city and the city governing body is authorized, after a hearing, to order, by resolution, the return of the possession of such property to the waterworks board. If the city shall at any time cease to use such property for parking facilities, the governing body of the city shall immediately notify the board of such nonuse and the waterworks board shall thereupon resume possession of the property. This section shall be construed as supplemental to and a part of K.S.A. 13-2414 to 13-2428, inclusive.
