Book excerpt: The Hospital and Related Facilities Act, K.S.A. 19-4601 et seq., vests sole authority for determining the compensation for county hospital board members in the board of county commissioners. Therefore, a county hospital board is not authorized to make payments for health insurance and compensation to its members as determined by the hospital board. Any remedies available to a county commission to force reimbursement or cessation of unauthorized payments by a county hospital board depend on the specific facts surrounding the payments and should be determined by the commission in consultation with its legal counsel. Because a county hospital board is not subject to the cash-basis law, a county hospital board may extend the hospital administrator's contract for a period of three years without violating the cash-basis law.
