Avoid city in Kansas (5)
I believe the answer is:
dodge
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'avoid' is the first definition.
(I know that avoid can be written as dodge)
'city in kansas' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Evasion" , "Duck, move to avoid" , "Ploy" , "A quick evasive movement" , "Step sideways to evade" .)
