Book excerpt: Pursuant to sovereign power and the Bureau of Prisons Act, 18 U.S.C.S. section 4001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., federal authorities maiy locate a federal correctional institution wherever the federal statutes authorize, provided constitutional procedures regarding takings are followed. A countywide election is not a required prerequisite to locating a federal correctional institute in the county, but a board of county commissioners may exercise home rule powers granted by K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-101a and hold an advisory election to determine public sentiment. Pursuant to K.S.A. 12-101 S̲e̲c̲o̲n̲d̲, and K.S.A. 19-101 S̲e̲c̲o̲n̲d̲, county and city officials may purchase real estate for the beneficial use of the city or county if funds used for the purchase were levied for such purpose. Similarly, K.S.A. 12-101 T̲h̲i̲r̲d̲ and K.S.A. 19-101 T̲h̲i̲r̲d̲ allow the governing body of a city or county to convey real property provided the sale or disposal of the property is deemed conducive to the interests of the inhabitants of the city of county. K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-211 as amended limits the board of county commissioners' power to dispose of real property, but the 1985 amendment to this statute makes it non-uniformly applicable and therefore subject to home rule. Pratt city or county officials may make a cash grant to the federal government provided such a grant serves a public purpose which benefits the inhabitants and the funds used for such a grant are not derived from levies or assessments made for other purposes.
