Setting the rates for traffic rate maintenance tax, parks and boulevard maintenance tax in the boulevard and parkway front foot assessment is zero dollars, which was year two thousand twenty-six-27 and according to section 6852 of the code of ordinances.

Finance committee records do pass.

Councilman Boom.

Well, Mayor, this is the first of several of our budget ordinances you mentioned.

In 2012, the voters of Kansas City, Missouri approved a park sales tax of one half cents for the purpose of maintaining an operations of local parks, parkways, boulevards, and community centers.

In approving this sales tax, the voters directed the city to cease billing and collecting of a traffic way maintenance tax, the parkway or the park and boulevard maintenance tax, and the boulevards and parkways front foot assessment by setting each assessment at zero.

Each year the parks, uh the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners pass a resolution recommending to the city council that this assessment be set at zero for the following fiscal year.

So I fully expect unanimous vote on this um ordinance because we're setting the levy at zero dollars.

Finance governance and public safety reviewed and recommended advance and do or do pass.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Mr.

This amendment would transfer $5 million from the police department to the bus service.

And let me tell you why.

The mayor budgeted.

And for everyone watching.

Oh, thank you.

This amendment would transfer $5 million from the police department to the bus service.

And let me tell you why for everyone watching here and at home.

The way the budget process works is that the mayor provides us with a budget first, and then the council gets to debate and amend as necessary.

The mayor's budgeted amount for bus service was $77,892,519.

And he knew full well that this was underfunding transit and that it would lead to bus cuts.

Our transit authority warned us, it warned Transportation Operations and Infrastructure Committee that in order to prevent bus cuts, they would need 100 million 367,014.

And my sincere thanks to Councilman Bunch for his leadership for transferring $6 million to our transportation services from the public mass transportation fund, but that still leaves us with a deficit and underfunding our bus service by $16,474,495.

This budget gap is a policy choice that will lead to route cuts, layoffs for our bus operators, and will leave many of our residents without access to jobs, education, health care, healthy food, and vital services.

It is a policy choice to fund KCPD 20 million over the state mandate to the tune of 365 million dollars while we cut bus service and leave people stranded when we know robust public transit reduces crime.

We have the violence prevention document right here that illustrates that a robust public transit system is a violence prevention tactic for every dollar that we reduce in public transit.

We incre increase the likelihood of criminal activity, we increase increase the likelihood of crime, we decrease the the ability for people to access jobs and economic prosperity, which is a crime prevention tactic.

It is a policy choice for us to reduce bus service.

It is a policy choice.

It was the mayor's choice to underfund transit by some 2021 million dollars, but it is our decision right now whether we accept that and whether we move forward with bus cuts.

When we reduce bus service, we know crime will increase.

So why do we continue to fund an already bloated police budget on the backs of our people?

Again, the mayor made a policy choice to only allocate $77 million to bus service, knowing full well that $100 million was what we needed to properly fund bus service.

We have an opportunity to increase that funding.

I'm asking you to pass this amendment.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councilman Duncan.

Councilman Willett.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, I do not believe we should be pinning uh bus system up against police.

The police need to be funded.

And I'm not normally one to give compliments to you publicly right now, but uh you know what else is 16 million under what they're requested with the police, and that's very similar to this.

I understand it's not the percentage, same percentage of the overall budget, but the buses are about to have fares reinstated, which is something that's gonna actually make our buses safer safer, and it's also gonna make it safer for the bus drivers themselves, less people taken off of work and protect the working people who are actually making people safe going around our city.

I don't think that this is something that is even worth the paper that it is it is considered on.

Um I hope all my colleagues join me in voting no on this and protecting the police budget as much as possible.

All right, I'll just say very simply uh I'll be a no vote, although I understand and respect uh the uh the spirit of of the ordinance and always appreciate further discussion.

Finance committee had the opportunity to have a fairly robust debate.

Almost all every council member was there after roughly four and a half hours of debate and discussion.

We came to the document that's before us now that recognizes that there were changes made to almost every departmental budget, and this is the product that we get that we believed could get us to the best delivery of all services for the city.

Is there any further discussion on the uh or on the amendment?

Motion to amend.

Hearing none, the clerk will call the roll on the motion to amend.

Motion fails.

The ordinance is before council in its original form.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

I will be voting yes on this budget.

I believe that we obviously need to fund our city.

There are a lot of great things in here.

I don't agree with 100% of the budget.

Obviously, but I will be voting yes on it.

Thank you.

Councilman Rogers.

So I said this on Tuesday too, but it's worth repeating again.

I I actually agree with Councilman Ducan that it's a pity that we're not funding our buses more.

I agree with Councilman Will.

We're not funding the police more.

And so every decision we make between this budget and next budget, let's think about the fiscal impact on our city.

Let's make choices that generate tax revenue.

Let's be a city that's open for business, and maybe we won't have to make such hard choices in the future.

Thank you.

Councilwoman Robinson.

Um thank you so much.

And um, I too wanted to encourage us to look at what we do between now and when we pass the next budget.

Um I will continue to say that um from a policy decision that we're making a policy decision to take away the local use tax for our park system, for our PMT tax, from our bus system, from our CCED, and when someone purchased something online and you voted for more police or more public safety, or you voted to um address our park system or to make sure we have a robust uh bus system.

We take a hundred percent of your money when you pay for something online, and we do whatever we want to do with it through the general fund, and that is fundamentally wrong.

Is it legal?

Yes.

Is it right?

No.

And so our bus system, while we're talking about taking money away from the police to pay for buses, 26 million dollars is devoted, diverted from our local use tax back to our general fund that was supposed to be used for our bus system.

When we ask people to vote for taxes for special things, the fire department, their phone, they have to go down to Jeff's city, and now we can no longer Jeff City has told us you can't use their money for local use taxes and put it in the general fund.

That has to go to the fire department, just as the voters approved it to.

So I also believe that we have an opportunity to get this right, and it's the opportunity to do the right thing by the people who entrust their tax dollars with us, and when they say we're vote we're spending something, we're choosing not a brick and mortar store, we're choosing to buy something online.

That's not them saying, Oh, we we want all of those dollars to to go at the will of the the council, those dollars need to be put back where the voters voted on them to be for those reasons that the voters voted on them to be used.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Councilman Raya.

I want to thank our finance chair, Councilwoman Boo, for getting this through another budget season, probably the most difficult we've had this term, and I want to thank my colleagues for getting our budget amendments in on time and for not stacking last-minute budget amendments this time around.

This feels so much smoother and calm.

And uh thank you for your leadership.

Councilman Bunch, yes.

I I echo that uh councilwoman boo has been an incredible uh leader on this matter and continuing to to make sure that we do the right thing.

Um but I also want to to thank the staff, um uh the finance department and the budget office have been sorry, it's so loud.

I don't know.

I guess we've got some dehumidifiers up there.

Um, but but thank you all so much.

You sat through so many public meetings, and I know that you see that as part of your job, but it's a part of your job that is hard, uh sometimes frustrating, and you have to deal with all of our nonsense on this com on this council.

Um and so thank you for for doing that with us and for us.

Um we we certainly benefit from having incredible, incredible finance staff, so thank you so much.

Thank you, Councilman Bunch.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

26028 ordinance passes 260287.

Yes, sir.

Whether limitation is established by the fund balance and reserve policy in section 2-1954 of the code of ordinances for the use of unappropriated fund balance, appropriating $2 million from unappropriate fund balance of the general fund and transfer to the general fund and transferring the same to the police department for overtime and patrol investigations.

Directed acknowledging transferred from the public safety sales tax to the general fund in that amount and submitted budget for 2627 and recognizes for us to have a selling effective date.

Finance committee do pass.

Councilwoman Boo.

Well, Mayor, uh, during business session on February 5th, the police department presented an estimated three point million 3.0 million budget shortfall in the current fiscal year.

Uh the police department reports a revised estimate, estimated fiscal year 2026 shortfall of $2 million.

This ordinance acts as a reimbursement of the general fund through a transfer from the public safety sales tax in the fiscal year 2027.

Finance governance and public safety reviewed and recommended advance and due pass.

Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.

Is there any further discussion?

Hearing none, the clerk will call the roll.

Mr.

Mayor, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Councilman Duncan.

Is there any further discussion?

Councilman.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh, I just want to point out that although this states that this is for police overtime, we're we're funding police lawsuits.

That's that's why they need two million more dollars.

And I'd also just like to point out that the amount of money that we allocated to future lawsuits will be exhausted in May.

So we got when we think about what we're going to do throughout the year to encourage better fiscal responsibility.

We have we have we have to do something differently.

We have we have to do something differently.

We have to think differently about how we're funding this department and think differently about what we're asking in regards to accountability because this is not sustainable.

This is not sustainable.

What are we going to continue to defund while we fund police lawsuits?

Because that's what this is funding.

Councilwoman Robinson.

Um thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

I wanted to um say something about this ordinance because it does also connect to another ordinance that we're going to look at that the special committee on legal review uh regarding uh police settlements.

Um I believe that this ordinance is the appropriate way for us to provide additional scrutiny on the police department uh when the funds aren't able to the funds that we allocate are not uh don't go far enough, and we could look at all the drivers of those costs, whether they're lawsuits or whatever the drivers of those costs over time through an ordinance.

Um and this is I so while I support this ordinance, it is directly connected to another ordinance putting a separate fund together for the police and not going through the ordinance process.

I think it's problematic.

So I'll be voting no there, but I wanted to note that this is the way and the the vehicle that we should use to be more thoughtful, more inquisitive, and um provide more oversight and governance when their funds do not um reach to the end of the year and they need additional revenue.

Uh we should be providing that scrutiny here in these forums.

Thank you.

Ordinance passes.

We'll go to two six zero zero six five.

Yes, sir.

Direct and city manager to sign costs incurred by the Department of Board of Police Commissioners beyond the 25% annual budget threshold from Missouri revised statute 84730 to the new fund entitled KCPD overage fund.

And establish the sale fund in the books and records of the city.

Director and City Manager negotiate with the Board of Collections Commissioners to process the council.

Nope.

Process for the council, the approval of costs related to the board of the police and commissioners, and establish settlement agreements, including settlements and costs structured over the budget cycle.

And directing city manager to include an appropriation of $5 million,000 in fiscal year 27, 2026 and 27 submitted budget for KCBD overage fund for legal sediments and subjecting such payments to the council ordinance process.

Genesis of this fund actually was already adopted in the budget item of two ordinances ago.

There's 5.9 million dollars currently appropriated for the legal expense fund that would go to address police litigation costs.

This permits a renaming of set fund.

It also directs the city attorney to continue discussions with the Board of Police Commissioners and their council in connection with the handling of settlement costs prospectively to the councilwoman's point for future budget years.

They could review recommended advance and do pass.

Councilman Willard.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

A couple things that I think need to be changed on this, and I probably still won't even vote for it.

Um first of all, the aiming of KCP the overage fund.

I don't believe that this is an overage fund.

We should be funding the police at the percentage that we need for a city or size.

And roughly that has been traditionally before even the state mandate 25% has been as high as 28%, 26%.

It's always been roughly above 25%.

And so I think this sets up the political discussions from here on out, even when we are no longer here in the city council chamber, everyone's gonna view anything over 25% as KCPD overage.

And I think that's the wrong way of looking at it, and I do not like that uh name first and foremost, and so I will be voting no.

But I if anyone's willing to amend the name of it, I'd happy to do that before I vote no.

Uh Councilman Robinson then Duncan.

Um, thank you.

You got to this ordinance quicker than what I thought you would.

Um, but yes, um, so this ordinance um I will be voting no on this.

I think from the very beginning, like if we don't, we should at least have an MOU with the Board of Police Commissioners first before we do this at all, because it's directing them to do an MOU, and we've got into this before, and even now with the additional two million dollars, is like okay, we're funding outside of the um the uh outside of our budget cycle, and while this is coming at during the same time, um, I think that it is going to provide us with some um lot some exposure legally, um, and then we don't know if the board of police commissioners is amenable to this, and I think that that should have come before uh we um even a take before we even took this up.

Um, and then in addition to that, um, in doing research, even if we have this MOU in place, they still have the authority, they're a state-run organization, they still have the authority to make whatever settlements they want to make, they still have the authority to continue to do what they've been doing as it relates to um making settlements and making agreements.

Um, we don't have to be at the table.

Our um liaison, our person, our voice is the mayor by being on the board of police commissioners board.

Um, and we have to face the funky facts that they're a state-run organization, and they have that responsibility to address um their legal liabilities, and I don't think that that's something that we should be taking on.

Um, the 5.9 million dollars, as our colleague said, um, his research says that they'll be out of that by by May.

Um, and then where are we going to find those monies if we're already stated setting up a structure in which we're going to take on all of those liabilities?

At least the reason the way that they're doing it now, they at least have to um try to live within their means, and then if they can't, they need to come to us through an ordinance in which they did today for the two million dollars.

And so I'm um encourage us to stay in our lanes, not take on this additional liability and vote no.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councilman Robinson.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh, I asked for clarification on this ordinance because I I understand it differently, Councilman Rom Councilwoman Robinson, and I asked ACM Queen in particular that if we create this overage fund, would it also require additional council action before distribution and uh appropriation is the word I'm looking for.

And she said yes.

Is that consistent?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

So I guess I I understand it differently that they wouldn't that we wouldn't need additional council action and over and I would I I have been told not to use the word oversight, uh, but additional uh trans, there would be still need to be additional transparency and council action before those monies could be appropriated, which is why I support and my point was more so at the board of police commissioners' table, they have to invite us into that process, whether we have this or not.

Um, and so that's why I'm saying that yes, those settlements, according to this, would come, you know, we would have visibility if we're paying for them, but in doing further research, and we have lawyers that are around in this body, is that we're not going to be at the settlement table.

It's essentially a report saying, hey, we're going, this is the settlement, but the complaint is against the Board of Police Commissioners.

And so they're the ones who are ultimately responsible.

Um in addition to that, your question about sustainability is a huge question if we're just going to have an overage fund for whatever comes our way, and we have some level of awareness about what's happening.

We're approving additional dollars, but it's still they're the client.

And I feel like that that's overreach.

Councilman Duncan.

Heard on all respects, Councilwoman.

I I think for me, you know, we're already funding them at 27% over the 25% mandate.

And the way I understand it fiscally moving forward, that that 2% would be in this overage fund.

And and right now we don't know what the what the lawsuits are.

And I think you know, when we look at like this ordinance that we passed earlier of two million dollars extra to the police department for overtime, we know differently.

And I think it's important that we understand exactly what is what are the debits that are coming out of the police department's budget that are requiring us to reduce our general fund by additional two million or whatever that is, so that we can explain to the American American to the Kansas City people exactly what what it is why we're defunding our bus service and and what and what are the lawsuits associated with that, because I'd like to have a better understanding of what those lawsuits are personally, and so that's why I would support this.

Councilman O'Neill.

Um yeah, I I have an issue with this.

I probably will vote no on this because it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I I guess and I've said this before, I think I would love to see a joint uh committee between the police department and the council so that when these uh considerations for settling lawsuits and all that, that we have somebody at the table that can actually understand what the process is because right now I don't think any of us understand the process, and they come to us after they've already settled it.

And I would I would like to have more of an active role in understanding why they're settling, why they're not settling, how much they're settling for.

I I think at some point we have to take ownership of some of these issues as well.

So I'll be voting no against this, but I do applaud the idea of finding monies to put towards lawsuits, but actually understanding why we're doing it.

Yeah, no, I agree.

What I might say just as a recommendation, by virtue of the budget passage, we have effectuated a number of the points within the ordinance already.

Separate from that fact, we will need separate council action for the appropriation related to the 5.9 million.

And so as a result of that, we will get another ordinance to Councilman Robinson's point.

That ordinance uh comes from some discussion with the Board of Police Commissioners itself.

So I don't know if we actually need to resolve this item today.

I might volunteer a holding it on the floor, which then permits us the opportunity and the chat litigation in essence the volley goes back to the Board of Police Commissioners.

There is funding available, there will be some sort of council action person there too.

It's been approved in the city budget, and so how we promulgate that will be something that comes from separate ordinance ordinance action relating to us.

Councilman O'Neill.

Yeah, I just want to clarify.

I I think uh Councilwoman Robinson had a good point.

I want to you kind of remind uh when we were first going through all the processes with the uh FIFA World Cup, we were always coming together and not having enough information to digest what we were being asked to do.

I guess my point on this the idea of a joint committee is that when somebody's on that committee and like like councilwoman Robinson comes in and tells us, you know, we hear rumors, we hear this, but she comes in and says, okay, this is what they're doing this for, etc.

That's what I'd like to have for lawsuits that we face in uh with the police department.

So I um I'll stick with my idea of a moment ago.

I will just give this one proviso for everyone.

The the attorney client privilege creates some interesting issues as it relates to the ability to fully debate all of the litigation issues.

And so, even to the point you've raised both today and on Tuesday, I don't think it's appropriate for a board member, even the mayor on the board of police commissioners necessarily to be in a lawsuit discussion and then to come to the next space and say this is everything that was discussed and vetted without some level of a memorandum of understanding uh cooperative defense agreement, something of that sort.

And so that's what I think we are looking from from the Board of Police Commissioners to help us get to that point.

And that can happen without legislation, by the way, too.

Councilman Curls has been waiting in Councilman O'Neill.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Beauty before age.

I I just want to point a clarification on this ordinance.

Um this is establishing a uh a fund.

Is it for the lawsuits?

Because I know that this is a very hot topic.

And is that what this ordinances for to establish a fund dedicated for money going to lawsuits?

Is uh so people like yes or no questions?

Uh this would be more expensive than lawsuits.

Ordinance operates in three different ways.

The section, so because it was drafted before the budget.

There is five point nine, there are five point nine million dollars for lawsuits that have just been approved in the budget.

Those funds are currently in the legal expense fund of the city.

Full stuff.

So it's funded that would address lawsuits from the city's side.

Earlier section of the ordinance as to future budget years would speak to overages.

Um, and that would create the fund that Councilman Willett has described.

And that would be a fund, I believe, in the ordinance.

Um that actually could is just overages broadly, not curtailed to litigation.

And then there's a separate section in the ordinance that directs the negotiation.

And that it it that overage, or based upon what you just said, then some of that money could be utilized for other things as opposed to just lawsuits or settlements.

Theoretically, it could be used for anything that council determines.

Council determines not the police department.

That would be correct.

Okay.

So I think I heard you say that you would be willing or can contemplating holding this.

Yes.

I think that that would probably be the best path forward.

And I would suggest this that uh we will probably get, I would assume, to spend the 5.9 million dollars, we will probably get another ordinance, and that would be the time at which we probably bring them back together.

Because the police department, the board of police commissioners will need funding as relates to the legal settlements that issue.

So the recommendation would probably be since there is no ordinance today relating to that, a hold of two weeks on this item.

Is there any objection?

Hearing none, we'll hold the item for two weeks.

We will go back to the final readings debate docket.

26024, New York City City Manager develop a funding plan for violence and prevention fund fund number two, thousand for fiscal year 28 and 29.

Councilman Bunch.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

This is a resolution brought to you by our colleague Councilman.

Will it?

Essentially, this is a kind of a look back at our existing code regarding illegally placed advertising signs and for example campaign signs that may be put in the public right-of-way or in people's yards past the election.

We've all seen them.

This is an attempt to provide better clarity and better options for volunteers to clean them up.

We already have a program for it, but uh councilman will it uh wanted may add some more detail to it, but neighborhood planning development committee recommended advancing pass.

Councilman Willett.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

This comes from the North Lane Community Cleanup Group.

Some of the volunteers asked to have better understanding of what the city can and can't do when it comes to regulation and enforcement of folks who uh habitually put signs in certain spots and having to force people to remove them.

I think it's a problem all across the city.

Just I know that there's been efforts in the past to do sweeps, and there's uh you know, and actually enforcement from different eras.

Um just seeing what we are able to do and if there's any resources needed to bring back some of those um enforcement.

Thank you.

Councilman Bunch.

Thank you, Mr.

This uh this is a uh amendment to our uh chapter 88 regarding outdoor signage.

Uh this would allow for during large events, and obviously the big one coming up is the one that prompted this, but it would be applicable to any large event, uh assuming it goes through the proper process.

Um this allows for the projection of like animated signs and uh signage onto the sites of buildings just for a temporary purpose.

Um and again, there is an approval process to go through this.

The the neighbor planning and development committee actually heard this uh uh or a version of this several weeks ago and asked for it to go back to ensure that we do this that with a a bit more robust of a public engagement process because it does involve uh signage, outdoor signage and advertising that has long been discussed and uh has been thoughtfully uh uh amended over the years.

So this uh so they did take this back through and they brought it back to us uh with some special considerations and as a result the neighborhood and development committee recommended advance and do pass.

Councilman O'Neill.

Mr.

Mayor, before I go on to this, I do want to thank, since this is the last of our uh ordinance on the schedule.

I do want to thank the finance department for all the work you did on our budget.

You did a great job.

I want to thank Councilwoman Boo for the excellent way she handled this year's uh budget uh budget.

Um I just thank you guys very much appreciate everything you do.

Uh this amendment oh, and the city manager who showed up a couple times I think the meetings the amendment allows Crawford Murphy and Tilly to move forward with the completion of 90% roadway plans for the reconstruction of the thirty-first street and Fran Brunt Boulevard intersection.

This includes the completion of landscaping and sustainability design, environmental analysis, floodplain permitting, utility coordination, and public outreach.

I would remiss if I didn't allow my colleague in the third district to speak on this.

This is a pet project of hers that she's been working on for a while.

So you're not a pet project.

But yes, this is a great project for the it is a great project for the third district and everyone who travels 40 highway through the city to get to the stadium and all the other wonderful things that are in the third district on the east side.

But certainly that intersection needs a lot of work.

Um we are happy that we can redesign it and construct something that is more safe for for all of our road users.

Thank you.
