(4) the kennel master;

(5) the clerk of scales;

(6) the starter;

(7) the lure operator;

(8) the chartwriter;

(9) the racing secretary;

(10) the general manager; and

(11) any backup to any of these positions.

(b) An individual or a member of an individual's family, as defined in K.S.A. 74-8810(c) and amendments thereto, who owns a greyhound or has a financial interest in a greyhound entered at a race meet, shall not serve as a racetrack official at the meet. A lessee or lessor of a greyhound shall be deemed to have a financial interest in the greyhound.

(c) Each racetrack official shall be strictly responsible to the commission for the performance of that official's duties and shall promptly report to the commission or the racing judges any violation of the regulations of which the official has knowledge. Each racetrack official who fails to perform the official's duties shall be discharged by the racing judges.

(d) Each employee of the racing and mutuel departments at a racetrack facility shall be an employee of the organization licensee and shall be accountable to the board of directors of the organization licensee. An organization licensee or facility manager licensee shall not, either by contract or agreement, diminish the organization licensee's ultimate responsibility to conduct the races and the parimutuel system of wagering. However, any organization licensee may execute a contract or agreement with a facility manager licensee that permits the delegation of day-to-day management of the conduct of races and the parimutuel system of wagering.

(e) Each racetrack official and each backup racetrack official shall be approved by the racing judges and the commission before the official assumes any race meet duties. Each organization licensee shall submit a list identifying each racetrack official and each backup racetrack official to the commission 30 days before the first day of the race meet for which the racetrack officials are to serve.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of K.A.R. 112-3-19(c), if a racetrack official is unavailable or unable to serve at a particular performance, and no backup racetrack official is available to serve, the organization licensee shall appoint a substitute, subject to the approval of the racing judges, to serve for that performance only.
