Whenever the governing body of any city of the third class shall deem it necessary to regrade, repave, reoil, remacadamize, resurface, repair, or maintain any street or portion of any street which has been graded, paved, oiled, macadamized, surfaced, repaired, or maintained under the provisions of K.S.A. 12-602 or 12-665, and amendments thereto, the governing body may cause such street or portion of a street to be regraded, repaved, reoiled, remacadamized, resurfaced, repaired, or maintained and the same may be ordered by resolution of the governing body of the said city and shall be done at the expense of the city, and the payment of the cost of such regrading, repaving, reoiling, remacadamizing, resurfacing, repairing, and maintenance may be made by the issuance of improvement bonds of the city.
Such bonds shall be made payable at such time as the governing body shall provide by ordinance but none of such bonds shall run longer than ten (10) years nor bear interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest prescribed by K.S.A. 10-1009, and the credit of the city shall be pledged to the payment thereof.

A majority of the votes cast at the special election held for such purpose or a majority of the votes cast on a proposal at any general election when the question is submitted shall be considered sufficient to approve the proceedings under this act. The said election may be called by the governing body of the city at any time when it deems such action advisable. The election shall be held in accordance with the general laws of the state governing elections for a similar purpose.
All bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall be issued, registered, sold, delivered and retired in accordance with the provisions of the general bond law except as herein otherwise specifically provided.
