Good afternoon.

The meeting will come to order.

Our guest chaplain will be our six districts at large, Councilwoman, Count uh Councilwoman Bullet.

Merciful God.

We thank you for the opportunity to come together again and discuss the things that come before the city to gather together and as one to not pass judgment to but to do the things that we are called to do.

To grant those things that our citizens need and to do the will of the people.

We thank you for this opportunity that we have and to guide our minds and our actions.

In your name, we pray.

Will the clerk call the Oh yeah, we were done with that, correct?

Will the clerk call special actions?

Yes, ma'am.

250707.

Recognizing Hair for the Cure.

This round group changed.

Wrong group?

Oh, they moved.

Who is this?

What do we change it?

Well, no, that this is the it's the wrong group.

There's two groups.

There's two.

Sorry about that.

But I think this one's recognizing Head for the Cure for their 23rd annual 5K raise and awareness for brain cancer research.

Matt Anthony and others are present to receive the special action.

Councilman O'Neill.

Yes.

This is one of those things where you get to honor somebody that's done so much and uh and you call them a friend on the set at the same time.

Um I've known Matt since the early 80s when we both worked in uh PR together, and uh uh I went on to be a city councilman.

He went on to be the CEO of the biggest advertising agency in the world at uh what was it YR YRB something?

A lot of a lot of uh acronyms there.

Um but uh his brother passed in the early 2000s from brain cancer, and Matt started Head for the Cure uh because of that, and for all these years he's raised money to support this organization through uh so many causes.

And I just want to read you a little bit about Head for the Cure.

To not profit, founded in 2003 by Matt in memory of his brother, Chris Anthony, who died from I'm not gonna be able to say that.

Gleobestoma.

Glioblastoma.

Uh their mission is simple to inspire hope, raise funds for brain cancer research, and support patients, care partners, and families.

It starts with a single 5K in Kansas City, which has grown into a national movement, more than 350 5K events operating in 25 cities across the U.S.

engaging over 300,000 participants and raising more than 30 million for research awareness and patient programs.

Kansas City remains our most significant community with the Metro KC5K alone, raising over seven million and welcoming more than eight eighty thousand participants over the past 22 years.

Meeting families where they are with compassion and practical help, collaborating with clinicians, hospital systems, and civic leaders, funding research and innovations that provide survival, quality of life, and hope.

Those are the core values of Head for the Cure.

I can't, I'd be remiss if I didn't introduce the two people with him.

Maggie Haynes is the executive director.

And uh what's your name again?

Gracie Wattwile Rottweiler is also my niece and uh has been uh uh with him now for over two years.

Seems like that.

But I I think it's a great place to work, it's a great place to learn, but it's also a great thing you do for the community, and I just I want to thank you for everything you do and know that I think this city owes you a debt of gratitude for all the work that you do.

Thank you.

And I'll just add to that uh just with my uh work in hospice care, uh, just uh a thank you uh because this especially uh the glioblastoma uh is very tough, uh not just on the patient but on the family as well.

Just want to thank you all for the work that you do every day uh and for your commitment to raise dollars for research and awareness.

And uh with that, if uh there's no further discussion, uh oh, go ahead.

Um I would like to be added as a co-sponsor.

Okay, thank you.

Uh if there's no further discussion, uh all in favor, say aye.

Aye, you're opposed.

Okay, that motion passes.

Thank you.

Sure.

I well, thank you so much.

Thank you, Kevin, Councilmember O'Neill.

So I have many stories actually, but uh we do go back a long way.

And it's uh it's always you know, when you stitch a life together and you you share things for over the years, Kevin or I we we would meet for breakfast for overdue a little bit uh and just compare careers and families and and our our path forward, and and uh so it's an honor for sure.

And just uh a couple words head for the cure.

It it did start as most things that have uh fine purpose in the world start with an unexpected, unimagined, even tragic situation, and that happened with me and my brother Chris, who 34, he was a runner.

Uh glioblastoma is uh is a deadly disease.

Some famous Kansas Citians, uh Dick Hauser passed of a brain tumor about a year after 85 World Series championship.

Some years later, Dan Quisenberry, other Hall of Famer, some years later, Ken Brett, George Brett's brother.

So it's uh but but it is uh the the roughest parts of brain cancer are still incurable.

Uh stage four glioblastoma.

We support everyone who faces brain tumor disease, and nearly a million people are living with brain tumors, and we do it through these celebratory events, and uh Sunday, our events in Overland Park, so it's a metro-wide event.

Uh our office is District 3, 32nd in Gillam.

I live in uh 53rd and locust.

Uh Maggie lives at 4349th in Paseo.

Uh my office of DML is at the Charlie Wheeler Airport, so we're Kansas Cities.

And we Maggie reminded me that while we are our anchor event is Kansas City, and by the way, August 24th, Sunday, the Head for the Cure 5K is the largest and longest running charitable 5K in the Metro.

We'll have almost 6,000 people out, we'll raise close to 700,000 from that one event.

Uh and it's been continuous, so we're very proud of that.

But beyond that, one last bit, we we do these across the country with the energy of Maggie and Grace, and by the way, Grace is taking charge of our event.

She manages those 25 events in the team that does them around the country, pretty remarkable.

Um, but while in the football world, the Chiefs have put us on the map.

You may not know this, but this small nonprofit is recognized around the country from Cedar Sinai in LA to uh Henry Ford Clinic in Detroit to uh Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Philadelphia as the organization that dedicates its energy to helping people finding brain tumors.

We we do it better than anyone right here in Kansas City, and we're always we're very proud of our home and and it's uh it's the central place where we're doing work that's simply designed.

We're not saving lives, but we're bringing hope to people.

Uh we partner with the doctors that are working to save lives and extend life.

So uh so this is an honor.

Kevin, thank you so much.

Thanks to the mayor and the city council for uh for recognizing this amazing team and what we do.

Thank you.

Yep, right out here.

Thanks, Maggie.

Thanks, buddy.

Appreciate it, man.

Thank you.

Thanks for being here.

Okay, so um throughout your distinguished career, uh, you have become one of the most respected and recognizable referees in professional boxing, ranking number one in the top 15 boxing records referees of our time, representing excellence, sportsmanship, and the highest standards of athletic officiated.

Congratulations on your story career, and thank you again for being in Kansas City.

Thank you, Councilman Patterson has the other others who want to speak to the uh resolution, Councilman Ray.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um I just want to say that Mr.

Weeks, it is an honor to have you in Kansas City as someone who lives and breathes boxing, grew up watching boxing with my dad.

Uh and my sons are gonna grow up watching boxing with me.

Uh grew up down the street from uh community center, Kansas City called the Whatsoever Community Center that is well known for its boxing program, and you know, went there from time to time.

Uh we are a big sports town, and although we don't have big names that have uh you know one went off and been unified champions in sport of boxing.

Um I actually got to see you in action uh because I think you were the referee of Canelo Jacobs in 2019 in Las Vegas.

Uh I was there for my bachelor party and had about 12 friends with me.

And it all centered around what was a big fight week uh in Las Vegas, and of course you did a great job and did a classy job as you always do.

Um I've gotten used to watching you on TV um Saturday nights when you are refereeing fights.

And so I was just telling Councilman Bunch, who's not a big boxing fan, but recognized a bunch of the names that were being listed off, and he said, Hey, those are some big fights.

And I was like, Tony Weeks is a big deal.

You understand, Tony Weeks is a big deal.

Uh in the sport of boxing.

So I appreciate you coming to Kansas City and just know that you've got fans here that uh appreciate everything you've done for the sport.

You know what the sport means to Mexican fight fans and your contributions have you know only made the sport better.

So thank you.

That's awesome.

Councilman O'Neill's gotta tell you, boxing meant a lot to me because my boxing coach and I think I was 12 years old suggested I play football.

It was a big part of my we're we're thrilled to have you here.

And uh I mean you've got great representation around you with the Teamsters and others and Marquita, I mean, my God, you got it all here.

But so thank you for being here for it.

You are there any others who wish to speak to the resolution.

Hearing none of the resolution is now before council, all in favor indicate by saying aye.

Aye.

All opposed, resolution is adopted.

Sir.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor, thank you, distinguished counsel.

Um I want to first of all thank uh Love and Move for bringing me here.

Yeah, uh, yes, it's an honor.

Uh actually um uh this is uh my uh I don't want to say coming home, but uh I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and the first college I went to was Fort Scott Community College.

So this was the first, this was the first state I uh I came to coming out of the city in in Brooklyn, New York, you know.

So it was kind of a shock, but it was cool.

But anyway, uh yeah, uh boxing, I I've been totally blessed to do what I do.

I've traveled the world, uh met all kinds of celebrities, distinguished people, even got to meet my idol Mohammed Ali.

Uh and uh of course, you know, uh to uh referee some of the biggest fights in boxing history.

Now, what you have to understand when you there's only three people in that ring.

And when you these guys, you know, who are who are disciplined fighters, but it's still a fight.

And and you have to keep control of these guys, and you have to uh uh uh uh you know be conscious of uh the health in there.

And because a lot of times when we stop a fight, people boo us, or you you know, you get all these stuff on social media and everything, you know, which is cool.

Uh but yeah, the main thing is you you want these guys to go home to the to the families and whatnot and stuff.

But you know, uh as I said, my uh first job that I had, I worked 25 years in the Maximum Security Penitentiary.

We had some of the biggest fights in there.

They don't stop because you say whoa.

You know, but that's what gave birth to boxing.

Uh I was an athletic director there, and we had a uh an inmate up there who was a boxer, a former boxer, and I made arrangements for uh one of the trainers that I knew on the outside to come up and and visit.

Uh and I was always the type of person, see, when you're in recreation as opposed to a regular guard, you know, you have a lot of leeway.

I was always the type that think outside the box.

So I I brought the trainer up, and you know, I said, you know what?

Why don't we bring some fighters up and we we put the uh set the ring up there in the record and and you know put on the boxing exhibition.

Now I understand this is in the federal system.

This has never been done in the federal system, it hasn't been done since.

Uh in the states, some of the states have boxing programs and stuff.

But anyway, so we brought some fighters up, but I took it another step further.

I said, you know, I got permission for the fighter, um, for the uh inmate himself to box.

So I kind of made him the main event.

So I'm doing all the announcing, like um, you know, Jimmy Lennon and uh you know Michael Buffer and stuff, and the guys got up there and they started boxing.

And it dawned at me, I said, whoa, I didn't get a referee.

We've got to keep control of this thing.

So more so out of curiosity and uh keeping control of this thing, uh, I asked from the trainer, said you mind if we get up there and do it.

Um, I asked from the trainer, said you mind if we get up there and do it.

He says, No.

And I got up there and I started uh fishing and a fight and instantly I fell in love with it.

And I was like, wow, you know, I like it, because I you know I grew up doing the Ali era, and so I knew about boxing.

I knew about the refereeing with Richard Steele, Mills, Lanez, those guys.

And I was like, make a long story short.

At the end of the show, the trainer asked me if I ever done that before.

I said, no.

He said, Well, I think you should look into it because you have good natural movements.

And actually, he took it a step further and called the uh athletic commission and say, hey, we need to give this guy a shot.

And at the time, I didn't know how influential this guy was.

Uh his name was Bertha Martinez, he passed away some years back, but uh they gave me a shot.

Uh the usual procedures, you start out with the amateur ranks and you work your way up.

What they did with me, they they gave me an interview with uh the tough man contest.

And anybody didn't know anything about the tough man contest, you're not dealing with disciplined fighters, you know.

So, but everything went well, and uh uh the rest is history.

And it was like, wow, you know, uh if somebody told me growing up in Brooklyn I'll be doing what I'm doing today, I mean you're crazy.

You know, you never even fant them the idea of that where you where you might be today.

Now, I said to myself, hey, I'm in Phoenix, Arizona.

What's next door to Phoenix?

Las Vegas.

I want to get to Las Vegas.

You know, I'm like, I want to referee the big fights in Las Vegas.

How can I get to Las Vegas?

Well, working in the federal system, they have institutions throughout the United States, and they had a prison camp uh on Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas.

Now, uh, and uh uh opening came up in in recreation, and uh, you know, of course, I'm gonna put in for it.

But it's a camp, and it's like that's I had like three years in, so I'm like a rookie, and then and that's for the higher up guys that's going to uh you know starting to retire and want to, you know, want to get out the game.

But I'm gonna put myself in for it.

I'm not gonna tell myself no.

Okay.

So what happened was my former warden who was at that boxing exhibition I put on in the prison, was now in charge of the whole western region.

Okay.

He happened to come to uh Phoenix, and out of all the barber shops in Phoenix, he happened to go to where I get my hair cut.

Okay?

Now there's like four barbers in there.

He happened to go to the barber that cuts my hair.

Now, if you ever walk into the barbershop, you know, they have uh all the sports pictures of you know, Phoenix Sons and and all football and everything.

They had a picture of me when I did my first world title fight, and I'm raising the fighter's hand.

Now, the barber don't know who he is, so he's sitting in the I'm sorry.

Okay, so he's sitting in the chair, and uh uh uh he said he looks up, he says, Is that Tony Weeks?

He said, Yeah, yeah.

Barbara said, Matter of fact, yeah, I cut his hair.

Oh, really?

Barbara said he's trying to get to Las Vegas.

That's the blessing.

Yes, the young man.

Thanks, man.

The uh resolution is adopted.

250623.

Accept an approving recommendation of the TIP Commission of Kansas City, Missouri as to the termination of Winchester TIF plan and the termination of the designational redevelopment project areas one through 14.

Acknowledging the 23-year period for the redirection of payments and rule of taxes and economic activity taxes has expired for each redevelopment area.

Declaring surplus those funds within the special allocation funds, establishing connection with such redevelopment project areas, dissolved into special allocation funds, establish a connection with such redevelopment project areas.

Directing city clerk is any copies of the orders to Jackson County.

Yes.

Thank you, Councilman Boo.

Honorable mayor.

This is an ordinance that we discussed last week and held it terminates a Winchester Center TIF plan.

I believe Councilman Curls has an amendment on this ordinance.

What does this do though?

What is what's this ordinance?

It just terminates the TIP plan.

It was originally approved in 1991 and would surplus all the TIFF revenue.

Well, let me correct that.

It was surplus revenue, but there was actually prior ordinances that would surplus the city funds for flight remediation in the fifth district.

And the amendments that Councilman Curls is going to discuss with just end uh some of the whereas clause reference those prior ordinances just to make it clear about the city's surplus.

All right, Councilman Curls.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor, and thank you, Chairwoman Boo.

Uh I move that ordinance number two five zero six two three be amended so that it reads as the documented title of ordinance number two five zero six two three as amended, which has been distributed to all council members.

Second, it's been moved and seconded.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Councilman Curls.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

This uh amendment has a whereas clause to describe the council's past actions regarding the surplus funds, and I don't know if some of you recall or not, but we had talked about uh allocating uh I think roughly about 127,000 dollars left over out of this TIFF in regards to uh assisting with the fifth district in regards to blight removal.

So that's what this uh amendment does and includes that whereas clause in order to get that uh uh identified in this uh amendment or in this uh ordinance to make sure that that money doesn't go into the general fund or is used in any other capacity.

Thank you, Councilman Curls.

Is there any further discussion on the motion to amend hearing none of the clerk will call the role?

Raya Bunch, aye Parkshaw, aye boo, aye, Duncan, aye, aye will it branch Rogers, aye Hasley, aye Robinson, aye Lucas, aye eleven ayes, ordinance passes uh pardon me motion passes.

Ordinance is amended is now before council.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance is amended?

Hearing now the clerk will call the room Rhea Aye Bunch Pearls Parkshaw Boo, aye Duncan, aye.

I'm sorry, Duncan O'Neill Willett, aye France Rogers, aye Patterson Hasley, aye Robinson, aye Lucas, aye twelve eyes.

Ordinance passes 250604, authorized the director of public works to execute amendment number one to the 2025-26 cooperative room of Victor KC and M of 218,000 dollars.

Total contract amount of 632,960 dollars, transportation committee to pass.

Council uh councilwoman uh Robins.

Um thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, this ordinance will authorize director of public works to enter into an amendment to a current agreement with our bike share KC for the installation management and maintenance of our public bike sharing stations.

Um the bicycles uh current scope is 247 bike shares bicycles.

Um these this amendment as matching funds of 218,000 dollars, and the purpose of the funds are to purchase a hundred new bicycles, the fund and operate those bikes for six months.

Um and Mr.

Mayor, there is a committee substitute.

Thank you.

And you go ahead with your amendment.

Yes, sir.

Um the amendment essentially, or let me make the motion.

I move the committee substitute for ordinance number two five zero six oh four be amended so that it reads as the document and title committee substitute for number ordinance number two five zero six zero four as amendment did, which has been distributed to all council members.

Second, so we moved and seconded.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Councilman Robinson.

Um, Mr.

Mayor and colleagues, this amendment essentially we had a lot of discussion in our um council in our committee meeting about this, and after further discussion with staff, uh really think that it's critical that we have a definition of equity.

Um, equity is a consideration of the um when they decide where to put the bike share um where the bicycles are, and in addition to that, there was uh significant discussion around our trail system, specifically up north, um, where we don't have a lot of bike share facilities.

Um so the amendment uh will ask the manager to come back to the council with the 90 within 90 days for a funding plan um to address um again looking at expanding the system alongside the trail system as well as including areas that have a greater dependency on public transit, um, such as uh the third district and fifth district and other places.

So that's the amendment.

Thank you, Councilwoman Robinson.

Is there further discussion on the motion?

Councilwoman Patterson has them.

I just want to say that I did raise this issue with uh bike lump Casey about the racks.

Um Addy and I went bike riding, and um the closest rack to us is our 18th and vine, but I quickly realized that we really couldn't leave or else we'd run out of juice on the bike and be stranded.

Um so I think that we do need to look at where they're placed, so that if people are actually trying to use the system, you know, they don't have to necessarily be in the fourth district near the streetcar line to have that kind of access.

So that's it.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh thank you, Councilman Robinson, for this amendment.

Um, during committee uh bike chair uh discussed that they wanted to provide um more opportunities for for bike share racks and bike share hubs in the first and the second district up north, um, but that there wasn't currently a funding plan, so this will provide us with a strategy and um hopefully a better better road map or bike map um to get us uh better connected.

So thank you for this.

Councilman Curls.

I I just have a question.

I was looking at the map that was given by someone about this, and it showed uh all of these locations, and there was nothing past 87th Street.

So I'm just curious as to is there going to be some discussion about some a possibility of some inclusion past 87th Street.

That's my question.

Um, yes, we did have significant discussion uh regarding the concentration of all of the bike share systems.

Um that uh our colleague um talked about a lot of the criteria to use this mark money, the money comes from ARC.

It's really looking at um current transit infrastructure, uh, and then one of the pieces in their contract with the uh the ride share program is that you get more there's more weight if there's already a station that's there.

So inherently, there's some challenges with expanding it.

Um we, as you all know, we're 318 square miles, and we need to share the love across 318 square miles.

Uh, and so your point is well taken.

It was much discussed, and um our goal is to make sure that although that this money may be coming from another source and we're merely providing a match, we have to do what's right for our entire city, and that may require us to spend our monies to do that, and the funding plan is the start of that discussion.

So and the other piece I'll quickly say is uh councilwoman Patterson Hasley talked about it's important to have a network.

You can't just have like one or two stations because when you're taking that uh bicycle, you have to have somewhere to put it up, right?

Uh and get back and forth.

So we have to make sure that we're creating networks of systems and not just like doing the one the one in two uh bike racks.

Councilman Curls.

Under understood, but just for the record, once again, South Kansas City, the fifth district is left out of any decision that's been made in regards to anything that takes place concerning some opportunities for us.

And so I just want to make sure that if there is an opportunity for expansion, because you said there is no they're looking at a there's and where the opportunities already exist, then I would think that if we want to consider ourselves as one city, once again, then we don't leave out portions of this city south of 87th Street.

I may just say this.

I see the councilwoman's resolution uh amendment as helping to address that.

I think that the additional study and potential funding for it allows us to do this.

But I may be um I'm gonna try to be realistic too, though.

I I think and I think part of the challenge is it affects the third district, is that a lot of our bike share stuff.

I don't think it's because they like one district more than another.

It's it's where density exists.

And the real challenge I find with kind of the fourth district versus the third district map is that frankly you have a similar grid, you have also dense neighborhoods, but you don't see the same amount of bike share.

So I would hope as they build out the system, they're very cognizant of you know Linwood is frankly largely similar, whether you're at Lynwood and Broadway or Lynwood and Prospect.

And and frankly, bike share should be able to connect you to the two.

I think that's that's one equity challenge.

Um I I don't think it's worth beefing because I think we'll get this out in their further study.

I mean, I I'm big on the equity point on trails.

I may not be, and I'll just make this example.

The Indian Creek Trail, for example, so 103rd Street, state line area, all of that.

The type of rider on that trail, maybe there are a few, but may not be a person who is using it for daily commuting, some of the other stuff that we see.

You see more recreational riders, at least on that one, and it connects you into Johnson County and all of that.

I would find, and I don't know how they pick their bike share spots, I find it less important there, even though to your point, south of 87th Street, maybe there's more we should do.

But I would think that in our with our finite dollars, which we still have, we should make sure Linwood, 18th, 63rd, 75th, 95th, right?

103rd, actually, some of those in our Northland Street, same east-west discussion, are actually serving a purpose as opposed to just us, and I appreciated your comment.

I don't think staff will do it right if they just put a trail on that new trail by the airport and say, well, yeah, I got one by Tiffany Springs Parkway, not 29, and we did our thing.

I hope they really do study from that equitable perspective where might we be having those riders, where can the connection help and all of that?

And I think that exists in all of our districts.

It'll just show itself in different ways.

But I'm but I know it's gonna come up later, but I've welcome more if I councilman O'Neill.

Yeah, I just want to parlay on to what Councilman Curls is talking about.

It it I think we need different looks in the city on how this program works for each district.

And I know for the fourth district it works very well in specific areas there, but I think we need a study that shows us how the best way to use this system in the Northland and the Southland and other areas that aren't as dense.

Um but I really appreciate the fact that I learned more about the bike share during this during this committee meeting than I had in the five years I've been here.

So it's it's really sometimes it's just getting it out there, finding out there are some there's some, you know, they're not we're not showing an urgency to them, so they're really not they don't have an urgency to do that.

So I think it's important that we push that urgency throughout.

That's right.

Councilman Willard.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, I agree with a lot of comments made.

I think challenges because you're like right, the Northland is not very dense, especially different corridors.

I think the uh parks make sense to maybe plant it in somewhere, but it's not a commuting uh device, it's more recreational, but looking at like a hodgepark, putting something in there where the user is going to be doing that for leisure around there and for exercise, and then you know you're stopping it right where you you get the the bike from, but it's hard because once you start like on one of our connector trails, you know, that it's too much, you're gonna talk about millions of dollars um you know for one district, and so that's the challenge, like you said there.

You're gonna talk about millions of dollars you know for one district, and so that's the challenge, like you said there.

So I would just want to encourage exploring something like a swap park or or Hodge Park, putting something where you can go in there.

Um, you know, maybe there's six to twelve bikes that users can grant throughout the day and have the same hub be there.

So um it's it's where the user is going to use it for the whole entire uh process.

But I agree with Councilman Pearls, but uh just know that uh there's there's other areas too.

But I do want to uh say one thing, uh appreciate uh bike walk KC.

I don't know if they're the same group that does this or not, but they helped out a student who did not have a bike who is taking uh the bus to practice and it cut down their commute from an hour and a half to 45 minutes.

And thank you, Laura Fox and uh the bikework team for helping the student get all the equipment, including a helmet.

Uh, appreciate the work that you do.

Councilman Bunch.

Thank you.

And uh this is a great discussion.

This is music.

My air is hearing all this talk about bicycles uh in a program that I was uh part of years ago.

Um, and just uh I I think that everyone has some really excellent points, and I just wanted to highlight the fact that a user of this type of system is gonna is it's gonna be a different type of use.

Uh and if it's on a trail up in the Northland or Swap Park or Indian Creek Trail, and I would say that there are there are examples of of that kind of trail usage in other cities, and even in this region where Johnson County is puts put bikes out in Shawnee Mission Park and other Johnson County parks, and of course the usage looks different.

Um, and and not one is necessarily more valid than the other.

One of them is much easier to fund with federal transportation dollars, which is the commuter types and the the utility type of of writing, but all are valid, all of those types of riders are are uh have bring bring value because it gets people out and using our trails, gets people's eyes on the trails, it gets people using them for commuting if it's closer in.

So um, but the other good thing is that in the grand scheme of things, this is pretty cheap to add some really high quality recreation transportation out on the street, and um you know it's it's a pretty good bang for your buck, just to um say so.

I I think this conversation absolutely should continue, and I think Councilman Robinson's uh amendment really helps us discuss a broader plan and an expansion and what that looks like.

Um, in this case, 80% of the funding is coming in from the federal government and other and other sources, and so we're just helping support that expansion.

Um I'm happy to be a part of that conversation and happy to have a conversation with anyone who wants to talk.

I'm always willing to talk about bike stuff.

Um so please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you all.

Accepting the recommendation of the Housing Trust Fund Board, reducing an existing appropriation by $6,980,346 and appropriating that amount from an appropriate previously appropriate fund balance on the Housing Trust Fund.

Authorizing manager of procurement services, various funding agreements in accordance with the ordinance, authorizing director of housing community development department to expend that amount from funds appropriating housing trust fund neighborhood committees to pass.

Mayor Pro Tim, before we go, I'll know that there's a request for a hold on this item.

I'd ask a little more context from the city manager.

As I understand it, there's been some discussion about funds that have been awarded to projects in the past, projects that may not necessarily be preceding and potential to discuss some clawback to appropriate to other projects as part of it.

Don't know the full universe of it, but I guess the time for a hold would give opportunity for staff to study that, or what's the what would be the idea?

Well, uh, Mr.

Mayor, with respect to the entire uh program and beginning from you know the first um uh rounds of funding.

I think we do need to evaluate the status of all projects that have been awarded and make sure they're progressing as they were originally anticipated.

Specific to this ordinance, um, I I think that the two will merits a little bit of evaluation to see if all the projects are in included in it are in indeed ready to proceed.

Uh I think the review will take them more than two weeks, so we should be able to consider this back in uh when we're back we're back in session in two weeks.

Uh how about we'll do it this way.

Is there a thank you?

I assume is there an objection to just holding it without a motion.

I just have a question.

Let just so I I do the procedure better and we're faster.

Is that an objection to a hold?

Yeah.

Okay, great.

So now we'll need a motion to hold the item.

Is there a motion?

I'll move to hold the item.

All right, so there's second, second, second been moved and seconded.

We'll discuss the motion to hold.

Councilwoman Patterson has yeah, I just was gonna say thank you.

I just was gonna say um if you need to re-review reviewed projects, then that strikes me as a larger discussion that probably should be had in terms of the review process and how we're green lighting projects.

So I'd like to see a broader discussion about uh do we have the necessary personnel to review projects because I think we all want to see them go forward um and and vote on them and have them uh be voted out, and then they're not ready to go forward, just presents a larger problem for us as a city.

So councilwoman Robinson.

Um thank you.

I also have a question um for the city manager because uh when I asked to see the applications, we were unable to see the full applications.

And I feel like I was ready to vote no because if I can't read the full applications uh and learn that the housing trust fund commissioners also don't have access to the full applications through the submittal form.

And so my question to the manager is will we be given access to see the full applications?

We cannot be expected to vote on things where we don't have access to all of the information.

That's not to say that the staff didn't do a really great job of putting together a thorough presentation, but we can't abdicate our responsibility, and as council people we should have access to those.

And so, Mr.

Manager, can you please make those available to us um as you do your review as well?

I will uh consult with staff on on the procedure.

Typically uh on all proposals um that I've worked on.

Scoring is presented to the committees and and to the recommended bodies and and the decision-making bodies, but the backup information is always provided, so I'm I'm curious to see why this information is not made available.

I'll I'll review this address.

Um, and I know that this position is new for you, Mr.

Manager, but um, in being here for six years in this seat, I've never had a situation in which I've asked to see a proposal then not being given to us.

Yes, we see have we have scoring sheets and we have information from staff, but when we ask to be a part of bonfire, they give us access to all of those applications.

And so we need to be assured is not a consult with staff, is we need to have access to that.

And I hope I'm not the only council person who feels who feels strongly about us being council members and not having access to information.

I will know, Councilwoman Robinson.

I I think my experience is somewhat similar to yours.

The only other issue in my decade here where we didn't have access to the proposals related to the airport issues, where ultimately through twists and turns of legislation, we got access to the proposals.

I I mean I respect the city manager's answer that you'll consult the why, but I hope ultimately that gets us an answer as to our ability to understand.

If I may, just briefly, because I do care about this topic too, to Councilwoman Patterson Hasley's point.

Um we are dealing with an issue right now with one of our school districts and uh building surplus issues and projects that um have not proceeded that sit in the fifth district, the third, the fourth, uh, and have for years.

And I want to make sure that our institution is an example of having steps to ensure that the spending is being done well.

So I thank both of you for raising the issues.

Councilman Ray.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um and I want to second Councilwoman Robinson's concerns and uh especially to the extent that it would contribute to the argument in favor of a hold.

Um, you know, I do have concerns that we have projects on the list that are um further away from being shovel ready than maybe some others that are not on the list, and that signals to me that maybe we have a cash flow management issue similar to what we confronted with some of our geobond CIP projects, where we have projects that are ready to go, weren't taking money away from any other project, we were just moving those up that were ready to go while we more efficiently manage the the cash flow issue, and um you know these are a lot of these are really good projects.

I think it's unfair for under the current structure if a project does not make the list but it's close to being uh uh shovel ready and and otherwise would meet most of the requirements, they've got to wait six months to go back and start the whole process over and go to the back of the line.

Uh, and I think giving ourselves a couple weeks gives us an opportunity to address some of those things.

And what I don't want is where we're trying to pull one project and put another project on that gets messy, um, but I would like a better understanding if there are projects that are not quite ready to use up that money, it would be a shame for it to just sit in the fund unused while we need to build affordable housing.

There are projects that are ready to go sooner.

Absolutely.

Co-signed councilman Curls.

I I just want to support Councilwoman Robinson because I do believe the same thing.

I mean, we ought to be able to see documents and information as a councilperson so that we can make informed decisions, and if we don't have that access, I have a problem with that as well.

Um and I'm almost surprised.

So not just our own access, but and maybe there are things I miss in the housing space, but this isn't kind of about a secret batch of concrete that you don't want your competitors to see.

I would think this is you're looking to build housing.

There's a pro forma with it, all of that that I'm not sure if it is should even be hidden from the public, frankly.

But um I won't go all the way extreme, but I might go there too.

Um if we're putting public money in the housing, I think it's worthwhile for folks to know.

Okay.

Uh any further discussion on the motion to hold hearing none.

This ordinance, as as was stated, just allows uh authorizes the city manager to enter to into a contract with uh Swope Health for the Swope Health Village Development.

And uh the funds were previously appropriated from the uh health levy fund, so this just really authorizes uh him to move forward with the contract.

Uh the waiver that is um established just allows for uh longer time frame for them to be able to complete the project in that uh the uh the wanting we're wanting to include all of the phases of development in this project, and so that just allows um rather than putting that restriction of time, allows additional time for that uh completion of until the completion of the total development.

While the consent decree has caused us a bit of pain and discomfort, uh there is also uh with this ordinance uh shed some light on um an amazing opportunity where the city of Kansas City is best in class uh in the country.

There are only two systems, um, like the one that we will be building in the entire world uh here and I can't remember the where the other one was.

Maybe Councilman Bunch could remember.

I think it was Germany, but I can't remember.

But the purpose of this project is to put over 300 sensors to detect our uh our existing sewer system overflow to collect data um to make sure that there's a remote sensor monitoring, um, that we have a reliable uh sewer overflow program and we are also going to create a digital twin.

This is very, very exciting.

Go ready.

Um let's start with 5888.

Okay.

5888.

Uh Mr.

Mayor requests that the clerk receive document reading orders prepare too late to be on today's docket.

Receive the ordinance to sign a number and read the title.

Yes, sir.

That number is going to be 2507 12, estimating $5,520,000 in a capital improvements grant fund, appropriating that amount to the North of the Traffic Wave Reconstruction 40 northeast 42nd Street and North of 46 East 46th Street project.

Mr.

It's been moved and seconded.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Councilman Raya.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

So uh this ordinance uh is in regard to funding for the North Oak Street reconstruction project from 42nd to 46th Street.

Uh I think this is the first time I've requested a same day adoption.

I don't like same day adoptions, but the reason I'm requesting one for this ordinance is because of the timeline that we're on.

Um I was contacted by public works staff on Tuesday, uh concerned that uh because of our council schedule and the fact that we are taking the next two weeks off that it could delay the project.

We are hoping to break ground on September 15th.

Uh and as you all know, with these types of projects, as we when we start them in the fall, we are up against winter weather.

In this case, we are also up against the World Cup, and uh staff are ready to go on this project, and so all this does is uh appropriate the funding that we've previously appropriated specifically for this project.

It's about a seven million dollar project, two million coming from geo bonds, uh five million came from an STP federal grant through the Mid-America Regional Council.

All that money has been put into the reference fund, which is the Capital Improvements Grant Fund, and this is just appropriating the money for the project that has already been set aside for I'll remind you that uh same-day adoption requires nine votes, and I would appreciate all your support.

Thank you, Councilman Raya.

Is there any further yeah, Councilman Willet?

Say thank you, and I'd like to be added as a co-sponsor.

Okay, all right.

Thank you, Mr.

This request from one of our colleagues.

Um about a car wash um up in the northland.

As a member who voted with the prevailing side, I moved under council rule 311 3.11 for a reconsideration of ordinance number three or two five zero uh five six zero, which passed at the last council meeting.

Second.

It is there any discussion?

Can I just ask?

Is this still a car wash?

Yeah, we just would like it to hold it after we re bring it back to reconsider and hold it.

Man, this car wash been around.

Uh all right.

Um is there any further discussion on this motion and the motion for reconsideration, just to remember this would this brings this back to us currently for discussion.

Right.

It brings it just brings back the item alive for any procedural motion or an up and down.

Understood.

All right.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

The clerk will call the roll.

Raya.

Aye.

Bunch.

Aye.

Curls.

Aye.

Parkshaw.

Aye.

Boo.

Aye.

Duncan.

Aye.

O'Neal.

Sorry.

Aye.

Will it?

Aye.

Franch.

Rogers.

Aye.

Patterson Hasley.

Aye.

Robinson?

Aye.

Lucas.

Aye.

Twelve ayes.

Motion passes the ordinance is again before council for considerations.

Ordinance 250560.

Councilman Willett.

Mr.

Mayor, can we please hold it?

Thank you.

Hang on a second.

We're looking to amend it now.

So I think I've got a motion, right?

Yep.

On behalf of Councilman French.

I've well I've got two here.

I've got one to pull up an ordinance now on the docket.

Do we do we need that?

Okay.

So do I need that one first?

We're so she's okay.

We're just looking to hold 250560 off docket now.

No, I think his motion was to hold it on our docket so we consider it next week.

Understood.

And you can we can amend it in the or we can just amend it today.

We can just do the amendment today since it's I've got her script for an amendment here.

Yeah, go ahead.

Can I do that now?

Yep.

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

Second.

It's been moved and seconded.

I was just gonna say it.

All right.

Uh is there any discussion on the motion?

The amendment will remove the development plan from the ordinance and only approve the rezoning of the property.

I don't know the propriety of that, but it's this is a car wash.

So I know I know a little bit about it.

And and Councilman French taught this last week and she realized that we're only supposed to pass half of this.

We passed old things now.

We're bringing it back.

We're gonna pass half of it, half of it stays where it is, and that's the plan.

I mean, I guess if we're just trying to like handicap good governance, this now does less than what we passed last week.

So we're not making anything worse.

No, we'll screw it.

Um get to your logic how you can.

All right, is there any discussion on the motion?

Councilman Bunch.

Um what is the motion at this point?

The motion is to amend the ordinance that is now back before council, and this would where we previously had approved a development plan and rezoning.

This would now change the ordinance to just approving rezoning of a property that relates to a car wash.

I would I would uh like to uh suggest a further amendment to reflect councilman will its pronunciation of wash to add the R.

Um need that in writing.

And I suggest a capital F.

It's actually Councilman Reyes' idea to do it a capital R, so thanks.

He pronounces it like a St.

Louis and just like Governor Keyhoe.

So uh WARSH and all that.

I party far.

All right.

Councilwoman Boo.

I I would just say um that this would be rezoning the property and it will allow additional uses on this property that probably are not currently permitted.

I mean, I it could, and it's rezoning without a plan.

So if the car wash goes away, the car wash or wars.

Well said, boot heel.

Thank you.

Councilman will it's good.

I I'm I'm understood.

It can it can do harm, you're saying.

Right, we're allowing rezoning without more.

Yes.

I I agree with the former neighborhood planning development chairwoman.

Um that we should probably just hold it in here, and then we can amend it later on.

Um sorry for causing so much controversy.

I want you to know this was our on a on the border uh Mexican restaurant that went out of business, and that was where all the first year Park Hill teachers would go to.

So this is actually a very sad thing that this is now being turned into something else.

So there's just a request to hold the item that's now on our I just want to send it back to NPD, so y'all fix it there and uh that uh actually we'll we'll just we'll just send it all the way back so we can figure out what this plan is and car wash project lives to die another day.

Councilman O'Neill.

I was at at the initial meeting, and I think what uh Councilwoman French's objective there is to let the process keep going but not give them full control over the uh over the zoning at this point.

I don't know if that helps any, but it wasn't.

She gave too much on the first one.

There was too much in it.

We we wanted to hold we wanted just the portion of it that led them, let them go on with the process while they're waiting for the zoning for the zoning.

So I'm not sure if that helps, but we'll refer the item to the neighborhood planning and development committee.

Is there uh any fur and then I know there's a motion on the floor, but do we need to say I think it's fine if you rep you're recognizing you're his consent relative to the pending motion on the floor that would take precedent and you could send it back to committee.

I believe though that councilwoman French has the development plan aspect of this.

So if this goes back to committee for a committee substitute removing the development plan out of this item, you'd want the companion piece that he suggested introducing that would have the development plan.

You're suggesting then to standing.

I was gonna read that's why I'm standing.

Okay, yeah, go ahead.

Honorable mayor, uh, and this is on behalf of councilwoman Fritz.

I'll request the clerk receive document read an ordinance prepare too late to be on today's document.

Clerk will uh receive the ordinance, assign a number and read the title.

Yes, so that number is 250714, approving a development plan on about two acres in District B 33, located southeast corner of Northambury Road, intersection 29, to allow for the creation of a car wash.

Okay.

Refer to the neighborhood planning and development committee, this car wash item, and then we'll refer the other item to the neighborhood plan and development.

It's better be a nice waterway or something.

Um or whatever it is.

Okay.

Is there any further business to come before council?

I think the royals are still winning.

Um we missed a dead game.

Aye.
