City of Olathe v. City of Spring Hill

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court, holding that the 2006 intermunicipal annexation agreement between Olathe and Spring Hill is unenforceable because an elected governing body may not bind its successors to policy decisions. The court also rejected the municipalities' reliance on K.S.A. 12‑2908 and K.S.A. 12‑101, finding the statutes do not override the democratic principle prohibiting such contracts.
