Council - Regular Meeting

The meeting will come to order. Our guest chaplain is pastor David McDaniel with Holmeswood Church. Would all who are able please stand for the invocation and remain standing for the pledge of allegiance?

It's been a true pleasure this month being with you. Leaders, let me very quickly say that you are loved just the way you are, Not because of your title, not because of your work, but because you are you. And today is bring your daughter and son to work today, which means the generations are watching each and every one of us. Uh-huh. So into this space, let me invite you into prayer and meditation.

Creator, today as young eyes watch, we give thanks for the reminder of what is possible. So stir in each of us a sense of holy imagination, one that refuses to settle for what is and dares to shape what ought to be. For the members of this council, give them a courage that reaches beyond today but opens doors for generations coming after us. And let the decisions made in this room lean toward a future where every young person, regardless of skin tone, financial status, orientation, or culture, is welcomed, protected, and given space to flourish, not just someday, but beginning today. And may hope rise here, not as an idea, but as an action.

So the generations watching today will one day say, this was a place where love took shape in public life. I pray all of this. Amen.

Amen. Pledge allegiance to the flag of

The United States Of America

and to the republic for which it stands, a nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The clerk will call the rolls.

Good to see you.

Yes, ma'am. Perls? Present.

Park Shaw? Present. Boo?

Thank you so much for being here.

Duncan? Yeah. O'Neil? Everybody. Willett? French. Here. Rogers. Here. Harrison Hasley. Present. Robinson. Present. Raya. Present. Bunch. Here. Lucas. 10 members present.

Thank you. Well, today is an awesome day. So the clerk will start with the special actions.

Yes, ma'am. 260364 declaring 04/23/2026 as take your kid to work day. Now Moose and others are present to receive the special action.

Come on in.

Why don't someone start coming on this side? Come on this side. And then let's have some more fun this way.

We had fun today?

Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah?

Did they feed you anything?

Yeah. Yeah.

Alright.

Alright. I'm gonna go ahead and get started. What a special day today is. Today, obviously, is take your kid to work day, which is held on the fourth Thursday of every year in the month of April. The Miss Foundation for Women founded Take Our Daughters to Work in 1993, and in April 2003, decided to broaden the discussion about the competing challenges of work and family, understanding for girls to achieve their full potential, whether it is in the home, workplace, or community.

Boys also must be encouraged to reach their potential by participating fully in work, family, and community, which launched the take your daughters and sons to workday, also known today as take your kid to workday. Children want and envision a future where they can be involved in all aspects. In a study conducted by the Family and Work Institute, ninety percent of students who said they plan to have a job also plan to have children, and that eighty one percent of those girls and sixty percent of the boys said they will reduce their work hours when they have children. By creating an opportunity for children to share their expect expectations for the future in the context of seeing new opportunities, we will begin a conversation about the changes children hope for and encourage them to think about their dreams, both for work and their family lives. So the big question that I have today is did you all have fun today?

Yes. Yes. Yes. So I want to just take a moment to acknowledge not only all of the youth here today, but all of your parents because your parents give and sacrifice every day on behalf of the residents of Kansas City. And I know that you all are gonna be extra nice to your parents, and make sure you give them big hugs and thank them for letting you come and hang out with us today.

So this was presented on behalf of mayor Lucas. Obviously, I'm filling in for him today, but it is such an honor to welcome you all to City Hall, and I love the T shirts that you guys have today. Council members, these are our future leaders. Let's celebrate them. Did anyone else anyone else wanna say anything? Okay. Alright. If there's no further discussion, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Aye. Okay. Alright. This special action passes. We will now hear from the moose. Oh, are you speaking? Are you just moving out the way? Okay. Speaking.

Before I speak, this is

Heather to everybody. She's a ninth grader. She's gonna be speaking on behalf of all the kids who came

to visit today.

Yeah. Okay. Alright.

Hello. My name is Evan Jones Barnes, and I'm a freshman at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy. Thank you so much, mayor and council, for having us today. It's pretty cool to see what our parents do behind the scenes, and it gives us a new perspective about our city. Before today, I think a lot of us saw the outside of what our parents do. We hear about their jobs and but we don't fully understand the impact that they make. Being here has shown me the most that much hard work, planning, and dedication goes into keeping the city running. For me, this experience is especially meaningful because my dad, Anthony Barnes, has been working with the city for over twenty years. That's over two decades of showing up, putting up, and being the best possible version of himself. I am so glad to see you this perspective.

For all the amazing careers I got to hear about today, my biggest takeaway is that there's a place for everyone. No matter your skills or interests, everyone has something that they contribute to our community. So thank you give so thank you again for giving us kids the opportunity. This house shows the value of hard work and the importance of of community. And another thing, when my dad says he's busy at work, I now know he's busy. See you next year.

Because we got a job waiting

here for

Thanks for coming today.

Thanks for coming today. You. Thanks Thanks for coming. Thanks for coming today. Thank you.

Thanks for coming today, ma'am.

Thank you.

You. Next action.

So I've had the opportunity to work with these folks the last two and a half years, and I've been very proud to represent this neighborhood on the city council and all the work that they've done.

And because of its central location, has been catalytic to the growth and development of the entire bi state region, which I think is important to note that the West Bottoms covers neighborhood both on the Kansas side of the state line and the Missouri side of the state line, which we often don't think of. I don't know that there's any other neighborhood association or organization that does that in Kansas City and covering both sides. The Historic West Bottoms Association has partnered with many organizations and business for do to to

We have an incredible lineup this month, including our first Friday weekend, the fifth annual Taste of AAPI on May 2, the ride and roll bicycle event on May 9, and the Stockyards Legends dinner on May 20 where we will honor Pat O'Neil. The West Bottoms is a living campus where Kansas City's history and future intersect. We invite each of you to join us this May to experience that momentum firsthand.

The clerk will receive the resolution to sign a number and read the title.

That number is gonna be 260405. Honoring artists involved with the Weaving Nets art installation commemorating Kansas City hosting the FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six matches.

Councilman Bunch.

Thank you, madam mayor pro tem. So today, we are celebrating Maddie Rhodes. Many so many contributions to the local community and the way of arts and honoring a specific art installation that will be here during FIFA World Cup. It is called it's Weaving Nets. It is actually incorporating a soccer bowl net into the community and in partnership with the Mexican consulate.

So thank you for the contributions there. But the artist, Bezape Romero, is an internationally renowned Mexican artist who will be helping with this installation. And under the direction of Jenny Mendez, the cultural arts director for the Maddie Rhodes Cultural Center, the organization has joined Romero in this creation of a metaphorical net, binding together diverse voices and fostering a sense of unity among the participants. The public is invited to experience this installation through July 30 on the South Lawn of the Kansas City Convention Center. Councilman Ray and I are really proud to be a part of that and proud to bring that to our community to add a bit of cultural flair to the World Cup.

And with that is 16 local artists. I'm not going to read all their names, but I believe some of them are here today. And we're really excited to celebrate your work here and your contributing contributions to the local community and really celebrating and honoring Maddie Rowe's continuous contributions to the local community. So thank you so much for everything you do, and we're really excited to see this installation happen. And again, Councilman Ray and I are very proud to be a part of that. So thank you so

for the opportunity to celebrate the wonderful work that you all put together. And I want to also take a moment to thank general counsel okay. You moved on me. You so much for being here, general counsel of Mexico. Thank you. If there's no further discussion, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? K. This special action passes. Okay. And who's speaking?

My name is John Fierro. I'm the president and CEO of Matty Road Center.

Great to

be here. You know, for more than fifty years, Matty Road Center has celebrated art, has worked About thirty years ago, we opened up Kansas City's first gallery that provided a venue for local, regional, national, and at times, international Hispanic artists. And about thirty years ago, under Jenny Mendez, our Cultural Arts Center's director's leadership, started a three decade long celebration that continues for Day of the Dead. And many of you have been there to celebrate with us. So we really feel that one of our roles here in our city is to honor our artists, preserve the Hispanic culture, and today celebrates just another accomplishment.

And really, we can't do any of this without the artist behind me. The names of all of those involved with this particular project are listed in the resolution, and I know councilman Ray Bunch presented that. We've had the honor to work with Bezebel Romero, Mexican artist, who has designed several soccer goals that you will see in most, if not all, of the World Cup cities. Here in The United States, that's Atlanta, Seattle, Los Angeles. Kansas City has the distinction of having the first set of goals placed and opened and have an opening ceremony this Saturday.

So we're very fortunate to be number one, as it pertains to The United States, and you'll also be able to see her work in Guadalajara, Monterrey, or other cities. And they're pretty unique. Each of the nets are handwoven, very colorful. There's still plate images with different silhouettes. And I've shared this with many people, the artist responding to Jenny Mendez's call.

I remember being there a couple of evenings and just being there long enough to realize this is not a ten minute, two hour type one evening event. They were there over several weeks, several hours reviewing the video that Betzebed had produced instructing communities on how to put these soccer artistic goals together. And I would just conclude my comments by saying that, one, I really want to say thank you to the Kansas City Convention Center, Kamiko Gilmore, Matthew Cunningham, others. They have been a big part of this, in that they will help to build some platforms, anchor the goals that the community and the general public can go and observe and not necessarily play on the goals. I also wanna acknowledge our fourth district council members, Bunch and Raya, who were very critical in supporting us with this, and also, the the consul general from Mexico, Sole Padilla, Meyer, who is to my right.

You know, having this opportunity to really extend our network internationally is certainly a great benefit to our artists. And I would just ask you all to thank, as you all know me very well, we will be back. I think what this project has an opportunity to do is to create a sister art relationship. I would very much love to have opportunities for these artists to be able to go to those various cities here in The United States and in Mexico and vice versa and to work on several other projects. So thank you.

Thank you. Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, honorable mayor pro tem.

Let me

try this again. Thank you all, honorable mayor pro tem. Mhmm. Request that the clerk receive docket and read an additional special action to be included on today's docket?

The clerk will receive the resolution to sign a number and read the title.

That number is gonna be 260406, recognizing 04/29/2026 as National Dental Day and honoring the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Violence Against Women Sexual Violence Against Women for their Work and Affinity.

Council McDuffin.

Thank you, all the mayor pro tem. As the clerk read, we're declaring April 29 as National Denim Day in honoring the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence or MOXA for their work in our community. You know, we've done this a number of years, and and mayor pro tem has asked me to read this today, and I feel very honored. I'm not gonna read the entire resolution. What I will say is that we know that sexual violence continues to be a pervasive issue in our city.

We also know, and it doesn't say it in here, that it is incumbent upon us, right, to teach our young men not to be perpetuate perpetuators of violence rather than teaching our young women that they that they should be better victims. I think that what this resolution does is remind folks that it doesn't matter what you wear, it doesn't matter who you are, you don't deserve to be a victim of violence. And it's about teaching folks not to be violent, not blaming victims for what they had on that day. So I wanna thank, Moksa for your continued and very tough work. I can't even imagine.

As a man myself, we have privilege. It's it's it's incumbent upon us, right, to to teach and to to to be the better example. So thank you.

Yes. Councilman Rogers.

Yeah. Oh, thank you for bringing this forward. And, you know, MOX is one of those organizations that I gotta work with as a prosecutor when you guys are doing such incredible work for victims of violent crimes. Saw your advocacy when I was in the state legislature and then also in this building. And of course, my mom worked there for a long time too, and so I've got a soft spot for you all anyway. But, yeah, I've seen it from a thousand different perspectives. It's always amazing, and we're sure thankful you're

you're you're if not sure

if you're

today who this is your first time, national denim day, yes, people like to wear jeans, but the significance that the significance of it was established back in 1998 when a court ruling found a perpetrator who had sexually assaulted a young girl who was getting her taking her driver's test, and he assaulted her while she was taking the test. And the court ruled that he was innocent because she was wearing tight jeans, and there was no way that he was he would have been able to get those jeans off if if, you know, she didn't want that to happen. And that spark that is what really is the impetus behind this denim day. And so for all of the victims there out out that maybe who are carrying this that maybe have been assaulted, I wanna say, please tell someone we believe you. And that and I wanna empower someone today to make sure that they come forward.

And I also want to thank all of those behind me. So and I'm gonna try to read this because I it's actually well, definitely, I thank Moxa. We also have members, obviously, from KCPD. We have members from Saint Luke's clinical forensic team as well as I think there's another team. That is that's it? Okay. Thought I had another email there. Alright. But thank you all so much for the work that you do every day, really saving saving victims' lives because I know this is a harsh burden to bear. With that, if there's oh, councilman Willie.

Cosponsor, please.

Yes. And and and me as well, please, as a cosponsor. All

of you.

If there's no further discussion, I'll let the record reflect councilman councilman French as a cosponsor. How about we just add everybody? Okay. Please add everybody as cosponsors. Let the all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. This special action passes. Good

afternoon, and thank you all. My name is Julie Donnellan, and I'm the president and CEO at the Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault. We wanna thank mayor pro tem and council members for your your unanimous support of this resolution. I think this really shows it's very this is a very important issue to Kansas City, so thank you. With us today are our partners, Saint Luke's and also the Kansas City Police Department.

It takes all of us working together to make sure that survivors are met with care, compassion, and support when they report sexual violence. So we're very grateful for the long term support of organizations behind us. Denim Day is a time when we can show through small visible actions, visible signs that can help dispel myths about sexual violence, like mayor Pro Tem had described earlier, and also let survivors know that they are not alone and to support them. So thank you very much for your support of survivors and for MOXA. We appreciate all that the city does for MOXA and for survivors.

Thank you.

Direction city manager engaged with Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City, other relevant incentive agencies, as well as city staff and the civil rights equal opportunity employment department to develop standard operating procedures to be used consistently across all state agencies for the purpose of waiving minority and women business enterprise participation goals pursuant to section three four thirty seven as amended by committee substitute for notice number 260286 and report back to the city council within thirty days for their findings and a proposed codified version of SIS standard operating procedures for city council consideration. I was gonna say, councilman Curles, you're the lead sponsor.

Well, okay. Thank you, madam mayor pro tem. This resolution is kind of self explanatory, but it's basically emanated out of the discussion that we had in finance committee in regards to prevailing wage and MBEWBE waivers, and this basically directs the city manager to look at the possibility of a collaboration between the EDC and the other entities that were discussed in regards to this ordinance, to making sure that, we as a council are covered as well as if there's any, issues or concerns that we need to discuss as we go forward with this ordinance, which will be held which will be which will be heard in a couple more weeks. This gives us an opportunity, although the thirty days is a little longer out, but we're also looking at a commit a committee sub also. And I've spoken with some of my colleagues in regards to this.

So we all kinda wanted to try to make sure that we are doing the right thing as a council when it comes to this ordinance and the waivers that have been in the, headlines and and out front in regarding this ordinance.

Councilwoman Boole.

Thank you, honorable mayor pro tem. As I'll speak on as my role of chair of the EDC board chair. I would support this ordinance and ask others to as well. Today, we have the LCR a board member meeting. Dan Moy, as the Executive Director, discussed the ordinance that was pending, and we talked somewhat about this.

And so I think there is support for this even at the committee meeting on Tuesday. Mr. Moye testified that he would be in support of having some discussion and consistent procedures for this. I just wanted to stand and offer my support as well. Thanks.

Thank you. Colleagues, I

will offer my support for

this as well, and I would like to be added as a cosponsor on this. If there's no further discussion,

the clerk will call the

roll. Carls? Aye.

Lucas? 10 ayes, one a. Resolution is

is adopted. Please proceed with the, final ratings debate docket. Yes, ma'am.

Two six zero three four zero, reducing appropriations in the amount of $5,900,000 in the legal expense fund appropriating that amount for an unappropriated fund balance of the legal expense fund as a transfer to the Kansas City Police Department for legal settlement expenses. Designate requisition authority, establish an effective date. Finance committee, you pass. And

go ahead.

Do it. Okay. Honorable mayor pro temps, this ordinance authorizes the transfer of 5,900,000 of previously appropriated funds within the City's legal expense fund to support the Kansas City Police Department's anticipated legal settlement obligations. The ordinance also designates the appropriate repositioning authorities for both the City and the Police Department to ensure proper oversight and administration of the funds. The transfer and associated appropriations are structured to take effect on 05/01/2026, aligning fund availability with projected legal expense needs.

I would note for the the body that there is a I don't know if I'd call it a companion ordinance, but another ordinance that also addresses this the $5,900,000 that came out of legal review that is later on the docket. So I don't know if you

wanna take that up at

the same time or just note that for consideration.

Go ahead, councilman Duncan.

I want a clarification. The 260,065, the other companion or related ordinance, also appropriates the 5.9. So if we were to vote this down and vote the other one, we would still appropriate the funds,

correct? You

have it mostly right. February already assumes the appropriation So it's been previously appropriate by the city's budget. It sits in the legal expense fund as it's currently as we're going towards May 1.

What does

that The reappropriation only would occur in March.

No.

Council's already taken steps commensurate with its budget to give effect to 06/05.

Everybody on that?

Clear. Go ahead, councilman Rogers. What?

Madam madam, it might be make sense to just read both ordinances. Maybe read the second or Sure. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. 260065. Direct your city manager assigned cost incurred by the board of police commissioners beyond the 25% annual budget threshold for Missouri by statute eighty four seven thirty to the new fund entitled k c d b overjet fund. Establishing the said fund in the books and records of the city, director and city manager negotiate with the board of police commissioners to process to the city council approval and cost related to the board of police commissioners established settlement agreements, including settlements with cost structured over future budget cycles and director and city manager to include an appropriation of point of $5,900,000 in fiscal year twenty six twenty seven submitted budget from the KCPD Overage Fund for legal settlements and subjecting such payments to the council ordering its process. Legal review recommends you pass.

I think I'm the only member of legal review present in the chamber, so I will I

will read from the docket memo. Oh, I have it here. Oh.

Thank you. Kansas City was required to provide no more than one fourth of the general revenue to the Kansas City Police Department pursuant to eighty four seven thirty of the Missouri revised statutes. The Kansas City Police Department is governed by the Board of Police Commissioners appointed by the Governor of Missouri pursuant to chapter eighty four three fifty of the Missouri revised statutes. While the Board of Police Commissioner has exclusive operational control over the Kansas City Police Department, City Council has a responsibility to appropriate funds and provide fiscal oversight on behalf of Kansas City taxpayers. The City Council has the responsibility to approve the annual budget, including the yearly funding appropriation for the Board of Police Commissioners.

Pursuant to Missouri revised statutes 80 four-seven 30, City Council is not required to appropriate amounts exceeding one fourth of the general revenue fund in any fiscal year to the Board of Commissioners. The Board periodically makes funding requests above and beyond the required one fourth funding allocation, including requests for settlements and judgments from litigation involving the Department. The board in its twenty six-twenty seven requested budget seeks funding beyond the required one fourth funding allocation mandated by state law. The board of police commissioners in its twenty six-twenty seven requested budget seeks funding beyond the required I just said that. Mandated by address costs for legal settlements previously approved by the Board of Police Commissioners for fiscal impact in future years and budget cycles.

City Council has received no information on the nature, size or scope of structured legal settlements impacting this in future years and budget cycles seeking appropriations in excess of state statutory mandate. The city has established procedures for review of costs arising from legal settlements and has responsibility for properly anticipating and budgeting future costs to the city, including 7 and 8 figure legal settlements approved by the Board of Police Commissioners. The city desires to reduce the detrimental effect of structured legal settlements I can find it. Mhmm. One would address the 5.9, but I believe because this was introduced prior to when it adopted the budget, as our city attorney said, it does not this would direct the appropriation.

Section one would assign cost over the 25% annual budget threshold to a new fund, which is established on the books of the city of Kansas City. And Section two would direct the city manager to negotiate with Board of Police Commissioners a process for council approval of costs related to Board of Police Commissioners. Approved settlement agreements, including settlements with cost structure over future budget cycles. So I think that if we were to pass 02/60065, there would be the need for some type of floor amendment. I think this is purely my opinion.

There is a path forward where we could approve the the first ordinance two six zero three four zero, to address the $5,900,000 for the upcoming fiscal year 2627. And to the extent there is information in two six zero zero six five that members would like to address, either send that back

to

committee, the mayor is gonna love this, hold it on council for further amendment, hold it off the docket, introduce new language that it would address the the the concept that's included here, but in the nature of us now having already passed the budget. Because this ordinance was introduced prior to the time in which we have adopted the budget which speaks to us adopting a budget and instructing certain things to occur in the upcoming budgets. So, that is my and I would welcome anyone from our esteemed departments to add anything to that that they would like.

Go ahead, Councilman Raya.

Thank you, madam madam mayor pro tem. So why are there two ordinances? And the mayor's filed both of them.

So not that I was speaking, I was not with the mayor, but I

Well, before you go there, it just kinda creates some confusion. I think he should be here for that, so maybe we just hold it until he's here.

So I think here's the problem

I had to get the police

that I'm gonna speak for myself and think I'm going to try to explain the issue. The $5,900,000 is what the the police department is required to pay out in structured settlements that are due on May 1. We do not meet again until after May 1. So this is an amount that we need to address and be able to pay over to the the police department for obligations that come due on May 1.

Existing obligations.

Existing obligations. And obligations on the term of bonds, but Right. Those obligations.

Yes. Legal obligations.

Legal obligations.

The ordinance two six zero zero six five was introduced some time ago as a way to address not only this $5,900,000 in the in the 2627 budget, but a way to address a process for moving forward. I think that came to the council. There was it came out of legal review. There were some questions about it. It came to the floor of the council.

There were some questions about it. It was held. And in an effort to address the $5,900,000 that we knew was going to become due on May 1, the mayor introduced a separate ordinance so that we can address the $5,900,000 and not address the other issues that were contained in two six zero zero six five. Because two six zero zero six five includes not only a process, but the setting aside of anything over the 25% statutory requirement and

that

I'm gonna guess on for some people that is positive, for other people not so positive. So in a way to move forward the $5,900,000, the alternative Okay. I do not think it was anticipated that both ordinances would be adopted in the exact form that they are before the council. So it it's going to be necessary to either to not adopt both, adopt one and amend the other, adopt one, not adopt the other.

Gotcha. I see.

Actually, councilman Willett was next.

Thank you, mayor pro tem. Thank you, chairwoman Boo, for explaining that. I would my preference is to adopt the first one that was read and send the the second one to committee, and I actually would prefer to go to the committee that the chairwoman chairs to have more representation of the council on it. You have you would then have Northland representatives and more variety of of folks across the city rather than the special legal committee that doesn't meet on a regular basis. So I'd prefer to adopt the first one and make sure that we're able to do our commitment.

And then the second one, send it to committee. I'd prefer to go. I think you'd chair a committee better than the mayor does. So, no. Just so thank you.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, honorable mayor pro tem. Just some traffic here. While I appreciate counsel one Boo's, point that this could be sent back to committee, I don't believe that's necessary. I understand that the 5,900,000 is due, on May 1. I would say that if if this body would like to ensure that the police can the police department can ensure that they can pay their legal expenses by May 1, that, two six zero three four zero is passed.

And if we're looking to also provide, I think, what is necessary transparency and of what's going on with with those legal expenses in the future, that two sixty thousand and sixty five is passed but amended to strike section three. I don't think that needs to go back to committee to do that. So the payments get made. We also get the establishment of an of a fund that provides us with transparency that we've all said that we want.

Councilman O'Neill. I

would, my only issue here is I don't believe this ordinance captures the true problem here. I think we we're just expanding a problem because I I think that if we hold this money, if the 25% or above is held, then we we're they will come back to it and tell us if they don't get it, they're gonna cancel this, this, and this, and we can't afford that as well. I just think this is poorly prepared at this point. I think it needs to go back for fine tuning so that and I I do tend to agree with my colleague's advice of putting this into finance so that there is more representation on the on the debate that goes forward with. So that would be my

Go ahead, councilman Kurose, and then we'll come.

I was gonna say you went to councilman O'Neill before me. I know

What did he say?

Age before beauty. Thank you, madam mayor pro tem. I just wanna say that, I I know that there is some concern about, ARNUS 260065. I thought that we had talked about possibly having a closed session, but seeing how the mayor's not here. And I agree with councilman Raya that seeing how he sponsored this ordinance, he should probably be involved in the conversation so that we can kinda hear from him before we move forward on this and make sure that there's a clear understanding as to, what this ordinance is actually gonna do and then have further discussion for those of us who have concerns or questions that may need to be answered, that can't be answered at this particular time.

So I would suggest that we possibly go ahead and proceed with approving, two six zero three four zero and and maybe hold the other one on docket or send it back to committee. I'm open for either way, but not advance or vote on two six zero zero six five this time.

Okay. Councilman Rogers was next.

So I'm gonna concur with my Northland colleagues here. This this ordinance ending in three four zero, this is an immediate need, and we need to make sure that this And the we're we're at me. I concur that the finance United is the right place for that to go. So I'm imploring this body to make sure that we get that 5.9 done today because as Chairwoman Bueh mentioned, we need that done by May 1. So I concur with Councilman O'Neill.

Councilman councilwoman Robinson I'm sorry. Councilman Boo.

First of

all, I just

want the record to reflect that all of our chairs of the committee are wonderful chairs, and they cheer them equally. Even councilman O'Neill. I'm giving you props. I really forgot why I was standing up.

You just wanted to cut me down.

No. I was giving I was saying how great of you are. Oh, I do think that to councilman Kroll's point, it whether it's sent back to committee or held, it would give us an opportunity to the extent anyone wants to go into closed session. We could do that. We could do that any time, frankly. I I did get a message from the mayor staff that they're fine with it going to any committee despite what council will it may have said, and that either way

is is fine. So right. Any other discussion? Is there a motion?

Well, so yeah.

Got two.

We have two on the

yeah. So yes.

Have to vote on two separate.

Right.

Well, which madam presiding officer, I would suggest which ordinance you if if there's a if there's a motion to re refer is what you might be calling for on either item. You might be calling for a vote on one item or another, but then you'd wanna declare which one you're calling to

vote

for. So it looks like I have an amendment to two six zero three four zero.

Okay. Oh.

I move that ordinance number two six zero three four zero, which is the first ordinance, be amended so that reads as in the document entitled ordinance number two six zero three four zero as amended, which has been distributed to all council members.

Is there a second?

The scope of the amendment adds an accelerated effective date so we can make sure this is taken care zero second.

Three four zero. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded that ordinance number two six zero three four zero as amended be amended. Is there any discussion on the motion?

This amendment will change section six by recognizing the ordinance as having an accelerated effective date.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, honorable mayor pro tem. While I understand there's an immediate need to provide this money, I think it's irresponsible if we kick the can down the road to to provide additional transparency that how these funds are being settled, what the type what what are we settling. Right? It's it's it's our budget that's being affected. We've been put into a financial bind not because of fault of ours, of a fault of a department that we don't have direct control over. And so I think it's important that we have transparency moving forward. I I cannot vote to to allocate funds if we're not going to also look forward and say, yes, we want better transparency so that we understand exactly what we're paying for in the future.

And I believe duly noted, don't disagree. At the committee, we had that that discussion. This, I think I can say because it's been said, is the nature of the $5,900,000 is structured settlements that have already been settled. And so I think that there is and will be time for discussion about the policies and the procedures that are addressed in 03/04 and how we continue to address future legal settlements because it's my understanding, and I think I think it's okay. I've already said it once.

Can I say it again? Yes. That these are settlements that have already occurred in the past, and they are structured. And this is not may not necessarily be the first year, and they are due on May 1. So I think it's absolutely Great. To your point, you know, the city is not gonna have zero settlements starting with our May 1 fiscal year, and I suspect that the police department department is gonna not have zero settlements. That's what's sort of a double negative. So I think that there is time to have the discussion with respect to what process moving forward. So

or whatever. That's right. Go ahead, councilman Duncan.

Thank you, held by mayor for a tip. I would just hope that, you know, we're not looking to delay future transparency and and future information coming to this body regarding settlements, whether it be structured or otherwise. It's it's incumbent upon this body as executive of this corporation, city of Kansas City, to understand exactly what is impacting our budget. I I believe that 06/05 provides us with an opportunity to do that. So I I and I fully believe that we have the ability this body has the ability to have that robust discussion either if it's if it's appropriate for closed, we can do it in closed. If it's appropriate for in the open, let's do it in the open. But I don't I don't believe we need to kick this back to committee when it's already gone through a committee once before.

Councilman Curles.

Thank you, madam mayor pro tem. I I just want and and maybe our law department can kinda give us the what would be the consequences if we do not pass three four zero at this particular time?

I I can only give you what's been represented to me is that they the police department has contractual responsibilities to pay, defendants or other beneficiaries out of structured settlements, out of agreements they've already negotiated that comes due on May 1. The failure to do so, the I I don't know what action the board would take. I'm not their lawyer. I would probably have any number of of ideas that I would give them, but they would, risk potentially contractual noncompliance, or they would have to engage in some sort of statutory process by which they make themselves whole here and then come back later and ask for additional funding, which has been the practice, when they have to make a change in classification or character of the funds. But it's pure speculation on my part.

Just that's what I would think, how I would answer the question.

All right. If there's no further discussion, the clerk will call the roll on the motion to amend. Kearls?

Aye. Archer? Aye. Boo? Aye. Duncan?

Aye. O'Neill? Aye. Willett?

Aye. Branch? Aye. Rogers? Aye. Patterson Hasley? Aye. Robinson? Raya?

Aye. Blanche?

Aye.

Lucas? 11 ayes.

Motion passes. Alright. So now we will

The items before you

The the items before you

As amended.

On the amended two six zero three four zero. There's no further discussion on corporal Kolorow.

I'm sorry, mayor. But two six zero three four o, we are voting on

Now you're voting on approving the 5.9 appropriation. As amended. As amended.

Okay. Okay.

And this is the one that goes

Which is the one that will have the accelerated effective date to ensure that it's paid by May 1.

Gotcha. Thank you. K. Just wanna make sure.

Alright. If there's no further discussion, the clerk will call the roll.

Perles? Aye.

Parkshall? Aye. Hoove?

Aye. Wilkin? Aye.

O'Neill? Aye. Willett? Aye.

French? Aye. Rogers? Aye. Patterson Hansen? Aye. Robinson? Raya?

Aye. French? Aye.

Lucas? 11 ayes.

Alright. Ordinance passes. Alright. So now let's hear I think it's better. 260065. 065. Councilman Duncan.

Madam mayor pro tem, thank you. I move that we hold this item on docket.

On docket.

You don't have to move. There's no objection. There's no objection.

Off docket or on?

On. So Okay. Great. Is there a second?

Or Can

I have objection?

Point of order here. Objection.

Alright. Okay. Hold on. Okay.

We debate that. I don't know what he's I don't know

what the debate asking to hold it on the floor so so when we come back, it'll it'll stay here rather than referring it back to the committee.

I I'm I'm I object, so I would like a vote.

Well, actually, there's no

Well, yeah, there's no objection to that.

Yeah. Okay.

He's he's all to make

Go ahead. Go ahead, councilman Duncan.

Thank I would move to hold the item on docket.

Alright. Is there a sec alright. So the everybody looks confused. So there's a motion on the floor to hold the 260065 on the on the docket to

hold it on the docket.

Second. Uh-oh.

Okay. Alright. It's been moved and seconded. Is there any further discussion? Councilwoman yeah.

So clarifying question. It seems like the options are holding on docket versus sending back to committee. Right? I mean, that that's not the option before us, but those options we've discussed. Councilman Duncan got his motion in before anyone else got their motion to send it back to committee. That's where we are. Is that correct? Practical difference between keeping it on docket and going back to committee, we can still all do our due diligence and have the conversations we need to have. Mhmm. Right?

I mean, I I I would think that there

Okay.

Actually yeah.

Go ahead. Sorry. Go ahead, councilwoman. I I think he was actually asking you a question. So

I was asking anyone a question.

Okay. He was just looking at me probably because

of I was

looking at something.

Oh. Oh, him? Oh.

Either one of you.

I so I I think let me explain my reasoning. I I I believe that this body is fully capable of I think this is a minor amendment. We're gonna make an amendment at all on this on this item. If we're gonna have additional robust discussions, I think it's appropriate for this body to have that discussion here rather than open this up to public comment and and have additional a parade potentially, where this has already gone through committee.

He likes the parade, though.

What did you say?

I said he likes the parade.

Oh, I think you said you like it.

Crispin, can you use your mic?

Alright. So and I I think the other, potential benefit for those of us who are not on the finance committee or legal review committee is that, if there's a closed session, you know, there's an opportunity really for us to weigh in and put to

and have a vote on the floor

as well. So, any further discussion on the motion to hold this item on the floor?

Did they get a did they get a second?

Yes. There was a second. I forgot who, though, but there was a second. Councilman Ray was the second. Bunch. Bunch. I apologize. Bunch was the second. So Go ahead. So the thank you,

madam mayor pro tem. So the last thing that was said was hold it on the floor for the benefit of the full council, being in front of the item. And if there's a closed session, we're all present rather than if it were in committee, some people may not be in finance to participate in a closed. And so, I mean, for that reason, I'm fine with holding it on the floor now. Wasn't at first, but I'll I'm fine with holding it here so we can all participate in the closed if if that were to arise because schedules.

Schedules. And at the risk of having us here all night, we could actually go into close right now, but the mayor is not here. And I know it's been said several times since he was the sponsor of this that we'd we'd like to hear from him. So councilwoman Boo was next.

I think the I think the only reason I was thinking it would be best to go back to committee would be to be able to work through the amendment. But I think if as long as someone will take leadership and working on an amendment, And we can get that somehow get that done before we go into close or during what we go you know, going to close early so that the the timing all works. I think having everyone present would be a better option for the closed session unless y'all just all wanna come to finance again. I've enjoyed having all y'all there. So

You know, I'll be there.

I always welcome. I think you just volunteered, councilwoman. Councilman O'Neill.

I was looking at you.

I mean, there's some strong arguments on both ways. I guess my only, thought on this is off doc or in committee, the the the various nuances of this. I think it's a very I think it needs a lot of work, and I think a committee is better at getting those those that work together and and putting more more effort into it and then coming back to us with a full docket that we don't have to think of right at that. We we will have a very short period of time to debate that. We will have a long period of time, but it's gonna be given to us the day of, and then we'll have to do it you know, we'll we'll debate it on on the floor, try to come up with some compromises or whatever, and then we have to have it written, and then we're in a very quick method of turning this around right during legislative session.

And that's the only reason I would think that there would be need for a better version of this would be done in in commit.

Councilman Duncan.

Since it I was voluntold to to I will work with the mayor's office to get an amendment to you all next week.

Okay.

So you can have a look at it way in advance. Councilman Rogers.

Even if there isn't them presented next week, would it still be better to have a conversation about it in committee? So nothing stops you from doing that, and then we can still send it back to committee and have a full conversation about it. So I'll be voting no to hold it. I'll follow-up with a motion to send it back to finance.

Councilman Bullitt.

Yeah. Thank you, mayor pro tem. I kinda expressed some of my, feelings on on the definition of calling it an overage fund to begin with, and so the whole creation of this, I understand where different people are coming from on this, but the fact that we're calling it an overage fund is put in and sent it to a committee that doesn't have any Northland representation on it, I think it's pretty insensitive given certain history. But I trust with mayor or excuse me, with the chairwoman's committee, with Darrell Kearl's expertise coming through before we'll get all our questions answered, maybe there's other amendments. The one thing is I know there might be public comment, which I think is good on this, especially at a time where people are normally show up finance.

Legal review is not a time that people normally anticipate on showing up for legal review with the amazing chair that they have. People like to make a point to come. But also, think does that limit our ability for police to or KCPD to comment on it once we go into, like, a closed session here during counsel versus a conversation during a counsel committee? No.

So I don't know how to respond to the I'm gonna ask the attorney to respond.

I was gonna don't I don't know that you have a response or necessarily you've got a pending motion. I don't know if there's any further discussion on mister Duncan's motion.

Councilman Curles.

Thank you, madam mayor pro tem. Been a spent considerable amount of time on this.

We sure have.

I I just want point of clarification, make sure that everybody understands what their vote means when they vote on this. So the motion, as I understand it, and and clarification for myself as well, is that if we hold this on docket, councilman Duncan is going to prepare an amendment that we will all have an opportunity to look at prior to us voting on this ordinance in two weeks. Is that

accurate? Yes.

Yes. I will.

Okay. And if we vote and that that would mean a yes vote. If we voted yes, that's what that would do.

Well, just to be fair, what a yes vote will just hold it here. You guys will move on to your next business. Mister Duncan is represented. He's going to file and has amended.

Yes. And a no vote would mean that that motion fails, and then we're back to the original ordinance as presented right now.

Correct.

That's correct.

For any motion practice or adoption or consideration other consideration.

Okay. Thank you. I just wanna make sure my understanding is how to vote or what their vote is.

You know

what mean?

I guess I I just think there's some ideological differences on this, and I don't think saying councilman Duncan just gives his input into a new ordinance, but that's what we're talking about. We're talking about one person creating a new amendment to the ordinance. And, frankly, I just think there's there's more conversation that needs to be. That's why I wanna send it back to committee.

Yeah. Okay. That's fine. Yeah. That's fine. Councilman Raya. And just

to be clear. Sorry. Councilman Duncan has volunteered. Anyone else can also volunteer.

My thoughts exactly. Alright.

In committee.

So can I also do

that? So yeah.

We've spent about thirty minutes on holding this or not. Okay. Alright. So the clerk will call the roll. And just to confirm, it is, on a motion to hold the item on the floor or not. So yes vote will hold it on the floor. A no vote will will not hold it on the floor. Madam clerk, please call the

roll. Kearls? No.

Hartshall? Aye. Boo? Aye. Duncan?

Aye.

O'Neil? No. Bullet?

No. French?

No. Rogers? No. Patterson Hansen? No. Robinson? Rhea?

Aye.

Bunch?

Aye. Lucas? Five ayes and six nays. Sorry.

Okay. The motion fails. Alright. Councilman Rogers.

I make a motion to send it back to the finance committee.

Say Oh, hold on. Actually, is there an objection to send this back to the finance committee? If there's no objection, we will move to the next ordinance.

Alright. Alright.

Thank you. Let's move to the next one.

Yes, ma'am. 260362. Direct and city manager implement a pilot program for the purpose of securing finance through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development section one zero eight own guaranteed program. For the eligible economic development and community development projects for the perp express purpose of removing chronic and long term slum and blight that complement adopted policies such as the vacant land activation initiative, authorizing the pledge of some future community development block grant funds as security and recommend requirements as a process to the city council.

Councilman Blanche? To pass.

Thank you, madam board pro tem. This is a resolution brought to us by our colleague, councilwoman Patchen Hasley, to explore the section one to explore the Section 108 loan guarantee program from HUD. This has potential for creating a financing mechanism to help clear blight and fill in some of our vacant properties. It would utilize some of our CDBG funds to put up as security for future over the next several years. And I want to thank our colleague, Councilwoman Patterson Hasley, for bringing this to our attention.

I think that's a creative way to potentially help create some infill projects and deal with some of our blighted and vacant property. So thank you so much. Neighborhood Planning and Development Committee recommended advance to be passed.

Madam mayor pro tem, this was this is a a renovation and it's an addition of some new residential residential units, primarily senior affordable housing in the vicinity of Linwood and Paseo. This is so it's all essentially one property, and there's one parcel that is zoned R1.5. The rest is R0.5. The 0.5 just zoning change just makes all of the property the same.

Thank you, madam mayor pro tem. This is a major amendment to an adopted the the seeing space before, but it will now be an event venue for available for rental.

Ordinance passed. 02/1996. Amendment chapter 76 code of order ordinances, vehicle expired by repealing and replacing section six two two sixty six prohibited acts for the purpose of permitting medi petty cab operations in an area commonly known as the Country Plaza. Terrorist Place Committee passed. Councilman O'Neill.

This, this petty cabs offer a convenient and a sustainable means of short range transportation, and increasing transportation means that the country called Piazza can help support economic development in the community. I might add, I think they were taken out basically because of the horse drawn carriages they had down there for years. And now that they don't have horse drawn carriages, the horses aren't scared when the petticaps drive by and get up and do all sorts of bad things. So this is a Transportation, Infrastructure and Operations Committee recommends advance and do pass.

Councilman Willett?

Yeah. Question. Is the horses only for certain periods of time? No. Okay. So the horse we're not getting rid of the horses are still there.
