Letter concerning the partnership between the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Kansas Turnpike Authority. "The bill before the committee today does three main things: First, it allows the work of the partnership to continue without the idea that at some point we might have to undo the good work we have accomplished up to this point. The second thing it does, is allow the KTA to move from a calendar financial year to a fiscal financial year. This helps us to be able to easily contract together to do financial reporting and future forecast modeling using some of the same mechanisms we use at the DOT. The last thing the bill does is a technical change in title since the Chief Executive Officer is handling the operations we felt that the KDOT Secretary would be better suited as just a general Director of the KTA."
