No suit shall be maintained in any court to enjoin or in any way contest the validity of any special assessment for the cost of acquiring or improving such parking stations unless the same is instituted and summons served within 30 days from and after the date of the publications of the ordinance levying such assessment. Where a city has improved parking lots under the provisions of this act, such city shall have authority by resolution, which resolution shall be published once in the official city paper, and without the necessity of a petition therefor to improve such parking lots including the construction thereon of additional facilities and shall pay for such improvements by the issuance of revenue bonds. The governing body of the city is hereby authorized to lease such parking facilities or to provide any method of operation for such facilities which in their opinion will be of greatest benefit to the public. No suit shall be maintained in any court to enjoin or in any way contest the validity of the proceedings of the governing body of the city for further improving already improved parking lots under the provisions of this act, unless the proceedings are instituted and summons served within 30 days from and after the date of the publication of the resolution authorizing the improvement.
"Revenue bonds" as used in this act means bonds issued by any municipality in this state, which are paid exclusively from the net revenue derived from the operation of off-street parking stations and from parking meters in the city. Such revenue bonds shall not constitute in any case, a general obligation of such city, and the bonds, if and when issued, shall not be taken into consideration or account as a limitation on the power of such city to issue bonds for any and all other purposes heretofore or hereafter authorized by law, with relation to a limitation upon the bonded indebtedness of the city.

The date of maturity of any of the bonds shall not be fixed for a longer period of time than 30 years after the date of issuance, and the bonds shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate of interest prescribed by K.S.A. 10-1009, and amendments thereto. Such city shall have no right or authority to levy taxes to pay the principal or interest of revenue bonds as defined herein and the provisions of K.S.A. 10-113, and amendments thereto, shall not apply to this act. Parking meters may be placed in off-street parking stations now or hereafter established.
The revenue derived from such off-street parking meters and the revenue derived from any other method of operation of such off-street parking facilities shall be maintained in a revolving operating fund which need not be budgeted except that there shall be shown in the annual published budget the total amount received from all street parking and off-street parking meters and facilities, and the amount spent during each budget year and the purposes, including payments on bonds and interest, for which spent. All sums necessary for the operation of off-street parking meters and facilities and on-street parking meters and facilities shall be a first claim on all revenue received from such parking meters and facilities. The net amount, after the deduction of the necessary operating expenses, may be pledged for the payment of any revenue bonds issued to pay for the improvement of off-street parking meters and facilities on any improved parking lots within such city.

The governing body may exercise the authority herein granted if there is money in the current operating fund relating to highways, streets and alleys or in the parking meter fund which will not be necessary for current operations during any budget year. If there is no money available in such funds, the governing body may issue and sell revenue bonds to pay such aggregate costs or any portion thereof. The resolution shall be published once in the official city paper.

Such revenue bonds shall not contain the recitals set forth in K.S.A. 10-112, and amendments thereto. Such bonds shall recite the authority under which such revenue bonds are issued, and that they are issued in conformity with the provisions, restrictions and limitations thereof, and that such bonds and interest thereon are to be paid from the net revenues received from the operation of off-street parking facilities and from on-street parking meters. The revenue bonds shall recite, also, that the same have been registered in the office of the city clerk, and in the office of the treasurer of the state of Kansas. Registration of the revenue bonds shall import absolute verity, and shall be conclusive as to the recitals, in favor of all persons purchasing such bonds, and that all proceedings and conditions precedent have been had and performed to authorize the issuance of such bonds, and such bonds shall be negotiable.
Whenever revenue bonds are issued under this act to finance the cost of acquiring land and constructing or placing of improvements thereon, such revenue bonds shall be a specific lien on such land and improvements and on all the revenues derived from the operation thereon of off-street parking facilities. The governing body may provide in the ordinance authorizing any such revenue bonds that the additional bonds may be issued payable out of the revenues of the facilities then being acquired under such conditions and restrictions as may be specified in such ordinance.
All revenues derived from the operation of off-street parking facilities shall be placed in a special fund which shall be used for the payment of operational and maintenance costs of such off-street parking facilities, including the cost of installation, maintenance and repair of parking meters therein, for which such cities are hereby expressly empowered to contract, and all revenues over and above those necessary for the above stated purposes shall be used for the retirement of revenue bonds issued hereunder and for the payment of interest thereon. All sums necessary for the operation of off-street parking facilities and on-street parking meters shall have a first claim on all revenues received from such facilities and meters. The net amount, after the deduction of the necessary operating expenses, may be pledged for the payment of any revenue bonds issued for the purposes herein authorized.
