The Honorable Kent Thompson, Chairperson
House Committee on Local Government
Statehouse, Room 187-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Thompson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2308 by Representative Helgerson
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2308 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2308 would authorize the consolidation of the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County.
The bill would establish the Consolidation Commission of Wichita, Kansas, and Sedgwick County
to review and recommend a plan for consolidation. The plan would be submitted to the county
electorate for approval. The bill outlines the responsibilities of the Commission and specifies that
all costs incurred by the Commission would be paid for by the City of Wichita and Sedgwick
County.
The Kansas Association of Counties and the League of Kansas Municipalities estimate
enactment of HB 2308 would have a fiscal effect on Sedgwick County and the City of Wichita.
Any local government with a local or regional agreement with Sedgwick County or the City of
Wichita could also be affected; however, the Association and the League do not have enough
information to estimate a fiscal effect.

Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
