Book excerpt: "K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 19-805(b) authorizes a sheriff, in his or her discretion, to require staff attendance at meetings and seminars which the sheriff determines to be beneficial to the operation of the office, within the limits of the sheriff's budget as approved by the county commissioners. In view of the discretionary nature of the activity, the expenditures authorized under subsection (b) are subject to the general rule that the authority and responsibility for county expenditures is vested in the board of county commissioners. A policy of "shared discretion" could effectively reconcile the interests of the sheriff and the commissioners in regard to this statute, if the commissioners would approve a specific sum in the sheriff's budget each year to be expended for attendance at meetings and seminars. In this way, the sheriff could exercise his or her authority under the statute within the limits of the approved budget without seeking prior approval from the commissioners.
