Guide for Accommodating Utilities within Right-of-Way for Counties & Small Cities in Kansas New! This guide examines current issues and practices in Kansas and provide general recommendations that cities and counties can use to manage their right-of-way in the best interest of the traveling public, public agencies and the utilities. It was developed primarily for counties and small cities that do not have regulations in place, or that need to updatte their regulations and procedures. The guide attempts to concentrate on major issues and minimize additional paperwork for both the utilities and the local agencies. conditions differ in each city and county, and some modification of the recommendations may be needed to fit local conditions. Review by the city or county attorney working with the public works staff and local utilities is essential to develop the optimum balance between regulations and reasonability.
