The meeting will come to order.

Our guest chaplain is Pastor David McDaniel of Holmeswood Church.

Would all who are able to please stand for the invocation and remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.

I am no matter what your faith tradition is.

Well, if you don't have a particular faith tradition, I invite you to recognize the sacredness of this moment and this time and join me in time of meditation and prayer.

Let's pray.

Creator, I look before you, this council, these leaders of Kansas City.

I'll let them up to you not as titles or as offices, but as human beings often carrying more weight than what is seen.

In the moments in which their roles feel isolated than empowering, be near them.

Break through the loneliness that can surround them, especially those times when every conversation seems to ask something from them, and people always want something from them.

Gently remind them that they are more than what they provide.

Draw close with steady presence.

Surround them with a few trusted companions, people who see them clearly, who speak truth with care, and offer rest for their souls.

Give them the courage to ask hard questions.

Not loud courage, but a grounded, steady one that leans towards justice, compassion, and good for the whole city.

And when the path is unclear, guide them with a clarity and kindness.

And when the work feels heavy, hold them.

And for the sake of Kansas City, do not let them carry this work alone.

For each of us have work to do.

May all of us err on the side of embrace.

May we always recognize there's more than our perspective.

And may we always relate to each and every person through love.

And I pray all of this.

Amen.

Thank you, guys.

26030, recognizing Financial Literacy Month in Kansas City and honoring Pathway Education Financial Education for its commitment to providing accessible financial education and advancing financial literacy in community.

Latasha, Jacobs, and others are present to receive special action.

Hey, please.

Councilwoman Boo.

Um, Honorable Mayor, a few weeks ago in Finance Committee, we were um taking up somewhat of a routine matter.

And um after that, I said this would be a great opportunity to do a special action to recognize Financial Literacy Month in Kansas City and honoring Pathway Financial Education for their commitment to providing accessible financial education and advancing financial literacy in the community.

Financial Literacy Month has been observed annually since April 2004, with various organizations and institutions offering financial education resources and events to help individuals improve their financial literacy skills.

The National Financial Education Educators Council defines financial literacy as possessing the skills and knowledge on financial matters to come confidently take effective action that best fulfills an individual's personal family and global community goals.

Pathway Financial Education is a local organization with a mission of providing individuals and families and under-resourced communities with equity and access to highly credentialed professionals, having expertise in financial planning, tax, law, business management, and business management.

Founded in 2020, Pathway Financial Education has grown from a grassroots program to a trusted community-based organization delivering financial education and training to thousands of individuals, empowering high school students, adults, and small business owners with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make informed financial decisions.

Pathway Financial Education is committed to scaling its impact by expanding partnerships with schools, financial institutions, and community organizations while developing innovative programming that closes the gap, closes the wealth gap, and builds generational wealth in Kansas City and beyond.

Year to date, Pathway Financial Education has supported nearly 900 participants through curriculum delivered in schools, workshops with partner organizations, and through individual engagement, supporting the goals of the communities they serve.

So it's my pleasure to recognize you and Financial Literacy Month in Kansas City.

Thank you.

Councilman O'Neill.

I just want to say I I this doesn't surprise me, but Vince and I served on a board for several years, and I learned quickly that he knew a little bit more about finances than I did.

And the board was uh he had he taught me how to ask questions at some of these board meetings, and it was uh it was an education itself, so I I applaud you for the work all of you do, but knowing how uh smart you are in the financial fields, thank you for giving back.

Councilwoman Robinson, thank you, thank you, Miss Jacobs.

It's so nice to see you.

You know that I'm so glad that you are here and that we are recognizing uh Pathway Financial.

Um Creative Planning after the racial reckoning in Kansas City and after the murder of George Floyd, they made a commitment like a many other corporations to make a change to make a difference.

And they started Pathway Financial at 18th and Vine, and they're one of the only corporations that have kept that commitment.

Um, so I want to say thank you.

It's important to recognize that.

Um, this is critical infrastructure at 18th and Vine to make sure that we have wellness, financial wellness, health wellness, educational wellness.

It's all bends on economic development, and it all bends on education and information.

So thank you.

I remember being in many meetings, and people were like, this is a great space for a restaurant or retail, and you know, you're gonna put a pathway for no.

Yes, we are going to put pathway financial there.

You all have been such a great addition to 18th and fine, serving the whole city, and I want to say thank you.

Thank you.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

Hearing on the resolution is now before council.

All in favor, indicate by saying aye.

All opposed resolutions are adopted.

Ma'am.

Good afternoon.

On behalf of Pathway Financial Educational, we are deeply honored to stand before you all today and acknowledge or excuse me, and receive this acknowledgement.

Um to represent all of Kansas City residents who dare to have believed in their financial future, could be much brighter than what it is today.

We are not only here to celebrate financial literacy month, we are also here to celebrate our five-year anniversary of operations.

Um Pathway was founded by Peter Malouk and Vince Clark, who stands behind us today and servers on our board, under the conviction that access to financial education and industry experts is not a privilege for some, but a right for all.

Every business owner who dares to step out on faith, for every student who dares to dream beyond their zip code, and every household who is planning their financial legacy.

We uh excuse me, I will also like to acknowledge uh Angelique and Neil.

We are a very small but mighty team of three.

Um, and we show up every single day, whether it's hosting workshops, whether it's conducting 101s, or whether it's goal uh engaging in community outreach in front of churches, we're in the jails every month, and we even meet people in their homes.

Wherever the city is, wherever the people need us, that's where we show up.

Councilwoman Boo, your acknowledgement today represents what happens when the city of Kansas City invests in people and the organizations who also invest in those people.

Thank you again for your acknowledgement.

Thank you all for the honor today, and uh we hope to continue our legacy.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, sir.

Great to stand by the thing.

Congratulations, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for thank you.

Thank you.

Appreciate what you do.

Thank you, Mr.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Bank.

Next action.

Yes, sir.

060331.

Declaring the week of April 13th through the 2020 twenty six as Dark Sky Week.

Raising awareness and protecting the night sky and the use of responsible outdoor lighting across Kansas City and directing city manager to turn off external city hall lights from sunset to sunrise.

Tessa Pullman and others are present to receive special action.

Councilman Duncan.

Honorable mayor, thank you.

This resolution, as uh Madam Clerk eloquently stated, uh, is going to declare the week of April 13th as International Dark Sky Week.

Uh we did this last year.

Uh it's raising awareness to protect our skies, to protect migratory boards, and also protect our environment and our energy conservation by informing folks about exactly what it means to turn off external lights, uh to provide dimmers, and to ensure that the that the light that we're producing at night uh does not create a hazard uh for our wildlife.

Um I think it's important to note that Kansas City ranks in the top ten deadliest U.S.

cities for bird migration.

Um so that fog that creates that you see when you look and you can't see up in the in the in the sky because there's that light fog that also disorients birds.

Um the sky, it's called sky glow.

The fog or artificial light over our cities affects migrating birds, causes disorientation and exhaustion.

Um, and we actually are in the middle of a couple major migratory bird paths.

Um this will uh turn off the lights at City Hall at night.

Um, and I also want to recognize uh the Missouri River Bird Observatory as well as Dark Skies Missouri and our Office of Environmental Management who will be here to accept this.

So thank you so much for all the work that you do.

Thank you, Councilman Duncan.

And Councilman Rogers uh aunt wasn't able to be here D to accept it this week.

Uh-huh.

Councilman Rogers.

So my aunt couldn't be here, who's Councilman Duncan's constituent and a big believer in the Dark Skies week.

Uh she's actually in western Kansas right now observing prairie chickens, I believe.

Uh but I will tell you, so my aunt's not here, and if you're watching on TV, if her mom, my grandma's watching on TV, should be very proud of the really good work on this.

I'm gonna add another personal story here.

So Tessa Coleman is also doing incredibly great work with migratory birds.

It was my next door neighbor when I was a big kid and she's a little kid, but um, she was my neighbor when I was growing up, but I'm not surprised that she's gone on to do wonderful things.

And if your mom is watching, I say hi and to your entire family too.

So thank you for your work here, and thank you for spending time with my aunt too.

And tell my mom I said hi.

Thank you, Councilman Rogers.

Councilman Bunch, you I you could sense that I this is obviously something that I'm a big fan of.

Um just quickly thanks for the work uh everyone's doing on this matter, and uh it's important to uh I mean Councilman Duncan really laid out everything, but uh as a casual birder myself, I really appreciate the efforts being made uh on this particular topic, but also as a as a uh astronomy nerd too.

I think it's a really important thing for us to think about.

I uh a few years ago um on the solstice to the winter solstice, the the uh Saturn and Jupiter were in transit or something like that, and we actually sought out the darkest place in Missouri uh that's close enough to here to go and watch that.

And it's actually pretty difficult to find a place with a decent amount of dark sky.

Um so it's important for us to keep in mind, especially us as lawmakers, uh, to really think about what policy decisions we make and how they affect uh things that often are outside of our purview, like like migratory bird paths, like like stargazing and and uh just making our city uh more livable place because we know that bright lights also disrupt our sleep.

Um, and so it's another kind of unsaid, untold uh part of this whole story.

So thanks for the work everyone's doing and uh appreciate this opportunity to talk about dark skies.

One more thing, if I may, Mr.

Mayor, is uh to Councilman Bunch's point.

Um, our uh community health assessment has identified areas in the city where uh the life expectancy is lower.

This has direct correlation with traffic noise, um, our uh uh small particulate matter, but also as Councilman Bunch pointed out, sleep, right?

So um, if you don't get enough sleep, uh you don't live as long, period.

And light pollution has uh a contributive factor in that.

So um this is not just about birds.

Uh I think uh birds are are beautiful.

I also don't want to get close to a bird, they kind of freak me out.

Uh but this also has uh a direct correlation to our own personal health as well.

Thank you so much, Councilman Duncan.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

The resolution is now before council.

All in favor indicate by saying aye.

Aye all opposed, resolution is a good question.

Good afternoon, Mayor Lucas, Mayor Pro Tem Kirk Shaw, and members of the City Council.

Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to making Kansas City a healthier, more sustainable place for both people and wildlife.

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to Councilman Duncan, the City Council, and the Office of Environmental Quality for bringing forward this piece this special action recognizing International Dark Sky Week.

Your leadership on this issue reflects a forward-thinking approach to environmental stewardship in our city.

I also want to thank the many many community members and partners who have supported this effort.

Deanne Gregory, who couldn't be here with us today, and Dark Sky Missouri, the Sierra Club, Thomas Hurt Benton chapter, Missouri Master Naturalists Osage Trails Chapter, Burroughs Audubon Society of Greater Kansas City, and so many others.

This recognition is especially meaningful because Kansas City sits within one of North America's major migratory flyways.

Each spring and fall, millions of birds pass through our region relying on natural darkness to navigate safely.

Artificial light at night can disorient these birds, drawing them into urban areas where they face increased risk of exhaustion, collision, and mortality.

This special action is also an important step towards Kansas City's efforts to be recognized as an urban bird treaty city, demonstrating our shared commitment to protecting birds through meaningful community-driven action.

While birds are often most visible, they are not alone in depending on the night.

Bats, which provide critical insect control, rely on darkness to forage effectively.

Insects themselves, who are essential to our ecosystems and food webs are highly sensitive to artificial light, which can disrupt their life cycles and reduce their populations.

Protecting the night helps sustain these interconnected systems that ultimately support both wildlife and people.

By supporting dark sky initiatives, Kansas City is taking an important step to reduce these threats.

Smarter lighting, such as lighting that is shielded, targeted, and used only when needed, and not only benefits wildlife, but also improves human health, saves energy, and allows us all to reconnect with the night sky.

Darkness is not the absence of light.

It is a vital natural resource.

Just as daylight sustains life, so too does darkness.

Protecting it ensures that future generations can experience the wonder of a star-filled sky in the rhythms of the natural world.

My hope is that Kansas City continues to lead in creating a city where both people and wildlife can thrive and where actions reflect an understanding that we are part of a larger ecosystem.

Thank you again for your leadership and for recognizing the importance of this work.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Well said.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

All right.

Um we will proceed with the final readings consent doc.

Ordinances passed.

Final readings, debate document.

260520.

Sections 216 and 336 for the purpose of designating certain geographic geographic areas.

Excuse me, within the city, experiencing acute detrimental public safety and public health impacts from the retail package sale of alcohol as retail alcohol impact areas and placing certain conditions on retail packages and license within such designated areas.

Councilwoman Boo.

Honorable Mayor, this ordinance designates certain geographic areas as recall retail alcohol impact areas and proposes to restrict the retail sale of certain distilled spirits packaged in individual containers of 200 meters or milliliters or less and with an alcohol content of 35% by volume or more, included but not limited to half pints, miniatures, nips, shooters, and airplane bottles.

It would additionally restrict the retail sell of malt any malt beverage packaged in individual containers of 40 ounces or less within these areas.

Grocery stores are not included in the proposed restrictions.

Finance governance and public safety recommended or reviewed and recommended no without recommendation.

Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

Councilman Raya.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Since we are about to vote on this, it sounds like I will just state the reasoning behind my position, which is consistent with what I say and said in committee, and that I think the best way to accomplish what the ordinance is attempting to accomplish is to impose impose the prohibition on some of these alcoholic beverages citywide, and then we create a pathway using regulated industries to determine how someone store finds themselves losing the ability to sell those types of ordinance.

I just I don't like the carve-outs, I don't like the carve-ins.

This business is included, this is not, this part of town is included, this is not.

But I wanted to share my position on that.

I would be willing to vote for something along the lines of uh what I described if anyone was interested in working on that.

Thank you, Councilman Raya.

Councilwoman Boog.

Honorable mayor, I too um have since Friday offered numerous suggestions.

As it is, this uh ordinance uh retains the five different uh retail impact areas, and I will be voting against it, although I have uh offered several suggestions, and some of which um I think moving forward, I would be uh willing to introduce as separate standalone ordinances.

Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.

Councilman O'Neill, um, I'll be voting against this ordinance.

Um I did I did have some earlier conversations that I thought were very productive, and I would like to see, if possible, to hold this uh so that more of those discussions could take place.

I know this has been a um been held a lot, but uh some of the ordinances, including Councilman Rea's ideas, I think have been overlooked, and I think those should be brought back into play.

So I would I would request uh a hold.

Councilman Willett.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh, I agree with some of the proposals that Councilwoman Boo was putting forth.

Uh I do a question is beer still um single served beer, is that still restricted in the current form of this ordinance?

Councilwoman Boo?

It is yeah.

So what I've seen just at my time and um and and uh just understanding how different prohibitions of alcohol over time at the universities when they went from banning beer in fraternity houses, more folks went into harder alcohol, and we had an uptick in accidents.

I think that uh beer has been something that's not necessarily harmful.

I just think that you're gonna have negative extra uh negative consequences associated with this.

You're gonna have people going towards more potent um pints or fifths, and I actually think that this will backfire in terms of public safety for our community.

I do believe that people can be made responsible for decisions from themselves and hearing testimony from many folks previously there who have actually you know changed certain parts of the community, stepped up and and and worked alongside folks.

Uh that's the work that I'd like to support in here.

I don't think this does anything.

I think this just window dresses it, and I would support uh the business owners who are changing their communities.

Councilwoman Robinson.

Um thank you, Mr.

Mayor, and uh first I want to thank you for your leadership um in this effort.

Um firstly, um, this was an ordinance that was brought to us by city staff.

Um many of you all know Joe Williams Williamson, who's sitting here in the audience.

Uh, we call on him uh time and time again when there's nuisances, when there's issues.

He's the first one on scene.

He's working with these businesses to address these issues, but the code provides some um some barriers.

And the staff came up with a way, one solution, it's not going to solve everything, but one solution to help him to do his job to be more responsive to our calls and to show up for our community in which they're asking for us.

Uh I want to be really clear.

The convenience stores are not the enemy here.

Um, for those of us who have to travel 10 to 15 minutes to retail stores, we have to travel miles and miles away.

We live in food deserts.

We rely on these convenience stores to for our basic daily needs.

They they're not the enemy.

The issue is this body passed the violence prevention and healthy communities plan.

In that plan, under what the government is responsible for, the local government, it clearly states increased liquor regulations.

It clearly talks about this type of legislation that we're responsible for.

So if you voted yes on the plan, then why aren't you voting yes on the action, the ordinance that aligns with the plan?

This is an economic development issue.

Those of you, especially are at-large members, go down to Independence Avenue.

Go along prospect.

Would you live there?

Would you allow your children to play and to go to the library and walk to school and get on the bus?

You wouldn't.

I know you wouldn't.

But we're forced to.

And those of you who are voting no on this, you're saying it's okay for us to continue to live in these conditions.

It's a contribution to blight.

Someone talked about that they didn't like the carve outs.

We don't like carve outs either.

Carve outs of being blighted.

The carve-outs of making sure that we don't get city investments.

The third district in the fifth district, we're carved out all the time.

And so why is it now when we're trying to reverse decades and decades of disinvestment?

And we're trying to reverse blighted conditions.

And so what that says is do we really want a solution?

Or are we just looking for some excuse to vote?

No.

So I encourage my colleagues, please help to support us.

We talk about pulling our your your yourself up by your bootstraps, but we need some straps.

And this ordinance provides and helps us to do that.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councilwoman Robinson.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

Aaron none, the clerk will call the roll.

Councilman O'Neill.

Are we is this what are we voting on?

This is just a yes vote, passes the ordinance, a no vote with no.

Are you no further discussion?

Direction City Manager established an ex by permanent approval timelines and a waive waiver structure for the qualifying affordable housing projects as defined by Section Code 88 ATN 058 and designate an affordable housing permit navigator to assist qualifying applicants and a report to the public on additional housing production strategies, including pre-approved housing plans, development timeline, transparency, density zoning, and complemental housing stock initiative.

Finance can neighborhood committees do pass.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

This resolution, committee substitute for resolution, addresses many items that were established in our prior legislation that was passed back with in 2024 resolution 240997 comprehensive anti-displacement plan as well as the 250600 establishing improvement, which was further refined in the anti-displacement plan, establishing improvement of the development processes as a critical strategy to create more affordable housing and uh reducing uh permit delays and streamlining processes.

Uh the uh discussion was pretty focused in terms of um uh lots lots of discussion about opportunities to uh streamline and uh improve uh transparency in the Ada dashboard that we are collecting uh and the neighborhood planning development committee review recommended due pass.

Uh thank you.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

Councilman uh Willard.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

I appreciate my colleagues during council committee to make a couple um changes within this.

I think it's important that when we look at housing in our city, we don't just prioritize you know what we some say as affordable but necessarily attainable middle class housing.

And there's a lot of folks who would like to be moving into my council district and good um starter homes and good public schools, good safe areas that are struggling to get permits on their homes, and we've got to make sure that those folks are not left out too in this in terms of prioritization.

So I appreciate the changes within uh the committee substitute, but look forward to if if the resources are needed for our for our planning and permitting department to expedite things, we should be doing that because every single uh new build in our city uh that adds to to the base that we need here, and I think that numbers of Scott Wagner said we need about 700,000 Kansas Citians to make sure that this we have the resources to be able to function as a city.

We need to make sure that we are competitive with attainable housing um in the region.

Thank you, Councilman Willett.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

I forgot to ask uh the uh clerk to add me as a co-sponsor on this, please.

260322.

Director of the city manager identified property and financing suitable for the development of urban youth sports facility capable of hosting hockey, figure skating, volleyball, position-specific training for baseball, soccer, track and golf, including tournament regulation facilities or a reasonable combination thereof.

Prioritizing access for students from the Kansas City Public Schools and Havre Mill Schools to report back to the council within the record with the recommendations within 90 days.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

Uh, this was brought to us by our colleague, Councilwoman Patterson Hasley.

This was brought to us by our colleague, Councilwoman Patterson Hasley.

It seeks to provide youth competitive, uh, it's a resolution directing city manager to identify uh property and uh has a 90-day report back to the council.

Uh but the identify uh youth competitive sporting opportunities that will not only prepare them for college scholarships and further competition, but also conflict resolution, leadership skills, citizenship, and drive community building.

Uh there currently exists no indoor sporting facility within Kansas City, currently capable of hosting youth tournaments across multiple disciplines and providing space for high quality position specific athletic training.

The lack of adequate youth sporting facilities places an undue cost burden on families wishing to participate in youth sports, often making it unattainable for many residents.

Cities in the Kansas City region across the unit United States invest in such facilities not only for local youth enrichment but as an economic driver as tournament travel travelers stay at local hotels and participate in other tourism activities such as food and beverage.

Uh the neighborhood planning development committee reviewed and recommended do pass.

Okay.

All right, Councilman Willett and Rogers.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

I think that it's not necessarily always, you know, city government making some of these facilities, but finding folks who want to invest in our area.

As you notice on the Kansas side, we've had a lot of youth facilities.

A lot of our constituents go over there and practice rather than being on the Missouri side.

So we need to be competitive in here.

Youth sports are very important.

I do want to talk about one story from a student at Oak Park High School who used the training facility, uh, teach shots in the Northland to be able to develop a good cough screen and make it all the way to state.

And that just shows you that students, no matter where they are, part of our city, when they have access to some of the sports that traditionally they are not able to be able to get field time on, they can succeed as well.

So it's important that we prep the next generation, no matter where they are in our city, to have access to those types of sports, such as ice hockey and golf.

Because we want some ice hockey Olympians from Kansas City, not just from uh St.

Louis area.

Amen.

Councilman Rogers.

So, and I know there are other people in this council in the same boat as me.

I've got three kids who play youth sports, which means we're constantly driving till lathe and overland park and compass minerals out by the legends, and the idea of being able to instead of spend that money in a different state to go down to the third district and spend the money there and to go to the restaurants there and uh have a 10-minute drive instead of a 45-minute drive, will all sound really nice.

And I think it's worth pointing out, especially today, uh, that we need to do whatever we can to drive foot traffic to our city from the region.

And when you read economic studies on things such as this, the substitution effect comes up quite a bit.

So every dollar not spent in our neighboring states, and then it's been in our city is good for our entire community.

So thank you for bringing this forward.

Thank you.

Is there any further discussion on the rest of the councilman Patterson asked?

Thank you.

Um, and thank you, colleagues, for um the supportive words about this.

Um in addition to the things that you said about the youth sports and the potential to be an economic driver.

This is also about the vision to change the development pattern in the third district.

For too long, we are experiencing an over-representation of social services and things that the city needs to subsidize.

We need to start building projects that are economic drivers that bring tourists that also are places for families to gather and do healthy activities so kids are not getting on the wrong track.

So it's one thing to talk about what we don't want teenagers to do and where we don't want them to be, but we have to make a commitment to financially invest in places where they can be, and that is appropriate for them.

So I am looking forward to what the manager comes back with.

Um, I know that we have the the expertise on staff to figure this out, and we also have places within the third district that can accommodate such a facility.

So I will be asking for your support to move forward with investment and not just a plan that sits on the shelf.

So thank you.

Councilman Curls.

Thank you.

Um, Mr.

Mayor, I would uh I'm in support of this as well, but I I see that you've got the Hickman Mill School District students included in that.

So I would hope that the city manager and whoever does this research looks at some comparable place in the third or closer to the fifth, so that the Hickman Mills district and their students aren't traveling across the city in order to get to this facility.

So I'm hoping that we can come up with some type of uh medium uh area or location for this as well, so that you know the Hickman Mill students can participate in it as opposed to trying to catch the bus on the other side of the city or something like that.

That's all I ask.

Section 88420 parking and loading.

And in acting allude their own new section of light number and subject matter for the purpose of updating parking and loading standards to support more walkable development and reduce on-site parking requirements.

Directing city manager report back to the council within a year of the passage of this ordinance.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Oh, thank you, Honorable Mayor.

This ordinance modifies Chapter 88 to right size the amount of parking required for new development based on demand and making uh the parking code more user-friendly.

Uh formerly 18 sections, which are now seven sections.

Related on street parking management strategies such as residential parking permits or parking benefit districts will be developed and reviewed by the public works department to best respond to different neighborhood parking needs outside of the zoning codes.

From March to December 2025, staff had over a dozen meetings with various stakeholder groups, provided information about the proposed amendments online on the speakeasy.

Uh in addition to the fact that uh we you know this has been in our committee for quite some time, and I want to take a moment to commend uh ACM Binkley and all of the staff that worked over the last week to do additional public engagement with uh many of the neighborhoods.

Um I've just applied them.

Uh uh, and as I said in committee, I was surprised that they actually got all of those meetings done within the the last week.

Uh the neighborhood planning development committee reviewed uh thoroughly, and we passed this out without a recommendation.

Thank you, Council.

Mayor Pro Tim, is there any further discussion?

Councilman Willett.

Yes, Mr.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, advance and do pass, but it was that was the other one that we advance.

Oh, uh are you sorry?

Advance without recommendation.

Right.

Okay.

No.

No, this one was due passed.

This one was advanced and passed.

It was the the KCU project that was yeah, I'm sorry.

Okay, that's on your that's right.

My my thoughts.

In the same place.

All right, brother Willett.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, I'll say this.

I know this is one that staff has worked on that's actually, I believe a council member really wanted it to be done, but there's been several of um staff initiated policy changes that I don't think council members have really requested.

So this is one at least one of the council members has been pushing for for several years.

Not for this, but I've just wanted to make that statement.

So better than what the other ones are.

Okay.

I just can all good.

I'm with you, but if there's no further discussion, the clerk will call the roll.

260283 results in area about 0.16 acres, generally located on the north side of Independence Boulevard, just west of the intersectional Highland Avenue from District MPD and ICO to District MPD, ICO, and HO in order to designate Leonard Smith Hall at 1700 Independent Boulevard, the local landmark in Kansas City Register Historic Places.

Neighborhood committees to pass.

Mayor Pro Tim.

The MPD adopted in 2017 calls for the rehabilitation or demolition of Smith Hall.

The Pendleton Heights neighborhood and the Kansas City Bungalow Club are applicants for the designation.

And this was passed out of recommend out of the committee without a recommendation.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem.

Councilman Bunch.

Yeah, not on the topic of the actual ordinance, but I know that in the past our docus used to say what the committee recommendation was, if I recall correctly.

Yes.

Which might and I don't see that here, so that just is a bit of feedback, it might help us remember because sometimes we have multiple ordinances and get confused and it's easy to lose track.

So for whatever it's worth, that was really helpful in the past if that's something we could bring back.

Okay.

Councilwoman Boo.

Mayor just what just for clarification.

Um the applicant is not the property owner, and the property owner is against this.

So a yes vote would be to designate it, and a no vote would be to not designate it, right?

That's correct.

Right.

Okay.

All right.

Councilman Bunch.

And on the topic of this was a this was a very tough uh the and tough project, a tough uh ordinance to get through.

Um very compelling case made by the the applicant and and many of many of whom were neighbors, residential neighbors, um, highlighted some challenges uh that that the that they've seen from the KCU, but then also at the same time understanding that um you know this is a building that could be put the space could be put to bigger and better use.

Um ultimately I I felt on the the no side on the on the designation, and we were split, and so we wanted this to get out, which is why we ended up with no recommendation.

So um I will be voting.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

I did also need to inform the body that uh there is a formal protest petition that has been filed, and so uh this would take nine votes to pass.

All right.

So just for clarity's sake, by the way, well, go ahead.

Yeah.

Well, you go.

You go.

I get to recognize you.

Go ahead.

Uh before before uh the mayor starts uh directing traffic.

Um I I will uh I'll be joining Councilman Bunch um in voting no on this, not because I don't believe that the historical building should but should be saved, but that I think by designating it for three years, after three years they're gonna wait us out.

Um and so in uh rather than delay the inevitable and essentially keep a building um that's not going to be occupied or developed.

Um I'm going to vote no on this to move things along.

All right.

I will just substantively say um I'm voting no as well.

I view the investment from KCU to have been transformative in this part of the city.

I find the collaboration that they have done with nearby communities to have also been transformative.

When I was city councilman third district at large, we spent a lot of time thinking about how we can improve that area.

Part of that was coming up with a plan that contemplated this very thing.

And so this is part of work that has lasted for more than a decade.

This also relates to our choice neighborhood grant and millions of dollars in housing that we see in this important part of the city.

In many ways, this is redevelopment at its best with a long-term incumbent in the area.

This is not somebody new trying to move and do something different.

This is something that is a true Kansas City institution, and so I encourage you all to vote no, although it seems odd to say that.

Councilwoman Robins.

Um thank you.

I would like to uh underline and echo some of the same sentiments.

I think it is important for us too when we look to developers, um, especially those who are uh training the next health care leaders and doing a great public good, um, especially for the third district, because I just spoke about you know all of the issues that we have with Blight, we need developers and we need to signal to them that we're going to follow our processes, that if you go through a master development plan, um we're going to honor that that that vote um and I just wanted to thank KCU for their economic impact in the area along Independence Avenue.

It's a half a billion dollars.

Um, and so um I would encourage my colleagues to um also vote um no on this.

Thank you.

Councilor Willard.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, knowing that the folks in the council district are a little bit split on this, this is the mindset I have.

Sounds like there's the votes obviously not to go forward with this, but I think it's important that we respect the neighborhoods um coming forward, and this is as you know, as something that's landlocked in institution like case um Kansas State University.

This is not just gonna be the only time a discussion like this happens, it's happened before and will happen again in the future.

And I want the uh people in the neighborhood to know that I have their backs on on stuff like this.

I've seen this happen similarly when I was at the University of Missouri down in Columbia on on certain buildings like this, and it's really really difficult decisions with landmarked university institutions, but you've got to be res uh respectful of the neighborhood around it.

Um I will be voting yes.

Thank you.

Councilwoman Robinson Um Thank you.

Um I would just have my colleague note that um I attended a meeting um till eight o'clock, it was six to eight p.m.

on uh in the Northeast community on Monday.

Um and we talked about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of fires and incidents.

Um and we found that the root cause of this is vacancy in the area, and so the community is calling for development um in the area, and if we have to signal that we need more development to address some of the root issues, um, and so I too have the residents back.

I too am listening to them, but I too understand that when we ask a developer to follow a process and the council votes for a master development plan, and the in that plan it says that this building will either be rehabbed or demoed, and they spent seven years to determine if uh rehab was possible, that we have to honor that plan.

Um and we have to be a if we're going to be a city that says we welcome development, we want it to be easy to develop, we want uh you to trust our processes, we want the you know it to be dependable, reliable, all of that, then we can't renege on that promise when um I think it was 2017, Mr.

Mayor.

We when we uh voted on that master development plan, and so we have to see this this through in a vote note will allow us to do that.

All right, no vote, you understand yes vote.

I assume you understand.

No vote allows the project to proceed.

Yes, vote uh agrees with the applicant's request for the historical designation.

Clerk will call the roll.

Councilman O'Neill.

Mr.

Mayor, due to the failure of quarry road park or park road in Lee Summit, access to some nearby properties has been disrupted.

And the City of Lee Summit is making roadway improvements to Valley Garden Drive and Northwest Quarry Road.

Portions of this project extend into Kansas City, Missouri, and will require limited acquisition of right-of-way and temporary construction easements to complete the work.

I might add that uh the home, the house that is owns this property that we are condemning.

It's a very small portion, and it's probably about two thousand feet away from this road.

Um so we're not really putting anybody uh in in jeopardy here.
