The meeting will come to order.

Our guest chaplain is Pastor David McDaniel of Holmeswood Church.

Would all who can please rise and stand for the invocation and remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.

No matter what your faith tradition is, I invite you to join a time of prayer and meditation.

We stand in this moment that asks something real of each of us.

To see beyond ourselves, beyond our own interests and assumptions, and to choose a greater good that holds us all.

For these leaders of Kansas City.

We pray not just for clarity, but for a wisdom that is willing to be changed.

Changed by listening and learning and encountering lives different from their own.

Give each of them the courage that rises above the familiar patterns of politics.

Call them into ways shaped by courageous purpose, where the common good is pursued with urgency, and justice is carried forward with integrity and care.

And remind them that the decisions made especially today will echo into generations to come to come.

So bend every choice toward a future that is wider, a future that is more inclusive, a future that is richer with belonging, especially for those not yet at the table.

And for each of us in the space today.

Stir within us a shared responsibility to choose curiosity over fear, to practice embrace across every line that divides, and to help shape a city where diversity is not a problem to be solved, but is a gift that is still unfolding.

May each of us leave this place more committed to one another than when we first arrived.

And I pray all of this.

Amen.

And to the republic.

One nation.

Under God.

260344 honoring Victoria Brady for our outstanding achievements in girls' black football and national representation of the NFL FLAG competitions.

Victoria and her parents are present to receive special action.

Councilwoman French.

Thank you, Madam Mayor Purchan.

Today we are proud to honor Victoria Brady, an exceptional athlete, leader, and trailblazer in girls' flag football.

Just four years ago, when girls' flag football was first introduced into the North Kansas City School District and partner with the Kansas City of Chiefs, Victoria was one of only 12 players on the Staley High School's inaugural team.

Today that program has grown to more than 60 athletes.

A reflection of the sport's rapid rise and the foundation built by pioneers like Victoria.

Beyond her school, Victoria has completed competed nationally with the KC Shockers, representing both Indianapolis Colts at the 2024 NFL Flag Championships and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025.

Individually, she has earned an elite recognition, including selection to the NFL flag raising Stars All-Star Game, and being named just one of 32 athletes nationwide to compete for the NFL Pro Bowl High School Showcase.

It's huge.

Through these experiences, she has not only excelled on the field, but also helped elevate the visibility of girls' flag football across our region.

What makes Victoria especially remarkable is her ability to balance it all.

She's a dancer, a student council leader, a four-year varsity soccer player, and maintains an outstanding 4.1 GPA.

A true example of dedication and excellence.

Victoria Brady represents the very best of Kansas City.

Today we honor her achievements, her leadership, and the path she is helping create for others.

Congratulations and all the best wishes and all your success.

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

Or I'm sorry.

All in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Okay, and this special action passes.

Go ahead, Victoria.

First off, I want to say thank you to the council for recognizing me today.

I also want to say thank you to my friends, my family, my coaches, and friends back at home for supporting me in everything that I do.

I also want to say it was an honor to represent Kansas City at a national level and to shine more light on women's flag football.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for saying that.

Congratulations.

Thank you, thanks.

She's fantastic.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's awesome.

260345.

Recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Kansas City.

Councilman Rea.

Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem.

This week we celebrate, or I should say we recognize National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

We proudly recognize the emergency communications personnel of the Kansas City Fire Department, the Kansas City Police Department, Jackson County's 911 emergency services as the unseen first responders of our community, essentially the first responders of the first responders.

These dedicated telecommunicators are the first voice heard in times of crisis and the steady presence behind every emergency response.

They answer 911 calls, provide life-saving pre-arrival instructions, coordinate fire and emergency medical police services, and relay critical information to field units and hospitals while managing complex and high-risk incidents in real time.

I listened to a lot of those calls and uh overwhelmingly you all did such amazing work helping folks navigate those situations, helping the first responders get there with the information they needed.

One more thing I want to point out is on Christmas Eve evening, uh about 11:30.

I went by uh KCPD headquarters and dropped off some Italian cookies uh before I rushed home to be there and put the present under the tree.

And there was a large group of call takers there taking calls away from their families.

Um it was a pretty busy night from what it sounded like, unfortunately.

Uh, but that left a lasting impression on me seeing the folks there away from their families on what is you know probably one of the most family-oriented evenings for for most folks.

And um I'll never forget seeing you all there working hard and making sure people are safe.

And so thank you, thank you, thank you for all the work that you do.

Um, you are exposed to a lot of things that most folks in the community are never have to be exposed to, and you are exposed to it so that they don't have to.

So thank you for your service and thank you for your sacrifice.

And I will just um add the the fact that I think it is very fitting that in just the last week, last Thursday, in fact, that this council uh fully supported the six million dollars for uh to fully fund the TriShare Childcare pilots, which will ensure that our first responders have access to child care because we recognize um in Kansas City in this region uh there we have really been struggling with making sure that we can answer the calls timely.

And I will just um add the the fact that I think it is very fitting that in just the last week, last Thursday, in fact, that this council uh fully supported a six million dollars for uh to fully fund the Tri-Share Child Care Pilot, which will ensure that our first responders have access to child care because we recognize um in Kansas City in this region, uh there we have really been struggling with making sure that we can answer the calls timely, and upon learning that uh I really began to look at how we can address that because I know you all are giving of your time 247 uh many times, sacrificing times with your families, and understanding that one of the primary concerns or primary issues with us being able to really to recruit and retain those positions was child care, because many of you have families, and so I want to say on behalf of this body who fully supported the six million dollars in partnership with the state of Missouri of establishing that tri share pilot.

Thank you so much that you have a council that is is standing behind you just like you stand behind our city.

We appreciate all the work that you do for us.

And thank you.

And if there's no further discussion, all in favor, please say aye.

Aye, aye.

Any opposed?

This special action passes.

Ladies and gentlemen of the city council, my name is Constant Myrick, Assistant Fire Chief for the Kansas City Fire Department, and I just want to say thank you for the recognition of our telecommunicators.

These men and women do not just answer calls, they provide pertinent information, they gather pertinent information, and they deploy valuable resources to our community for the protection of our community.

These individuals are often the first contact that the public has with our organization, and their role in the link in the chain of survival is crucial and is essential.

Today we salute our communication specialists, our communication officers, division chiefs, and managers who work tirelessly to keep the residents and visitors of our great city safe and healthy.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Mayor and Council.

My name is Craig Buckley.

I'm honored to wear this uniform and be the fire chief for the city of Kansas City.

I'd like to echo a lot of the comments that have already been made, but when I think of these people, uh they are tirelessly working extended hours, working evenings, working holidays, and when I was actually uh looking to come to Kansas City, I listened to them.

You can listen to uh the dispatchers and the responders on the broadcastify app.

And I remember telling my wife how impressed I was uh with the dispatchers, and again, they're not only the people that are taking the calls, but they're the people that are determining what kind of resources get sent to a particular emergency.

They are providing communications with that on-scene incident commander, a unified command.

They're determining locations for water supplies.

There's so many things that these people do, and I know they're here for multiple jurisdictions, and I'm a huge fan of regionalization and partnership.

So uh representing our organization and representing a lot of the people that couldn't be here today.

We're extremely proud of them.

We're honored to have them as part of our team, and we'll continue to support them for working behind the scenes for our agency.

So, congratulations to all of you and the people that may be watching online.

We appreciate you being part of the team, and we're gonna continue uh to provide an environment where you can excel and you can uh raise through the ranks and become supervisors and all the things that it probably strive to do.

So thanks for everybody for being here today.

Thank you for the resolution, and again, thank you to uh the dispatchers and telecommunicators that are here.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for listening.

Appreciate what you do.

Thank you.

Appreciate what you did.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Matt.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

We're gonna have the police good action here today.

Thank you, Chief.

Thank you.

Hey, nice to see you again.

I like this.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Just got canceled.

That's not my change.

You got his ears.

Next act.

260346.

Recognize your April 2026 because Second Chance Month in Kansas City.

Johnny Waller and others are present to receive the special action.

All right, so this is the mayor's special action.

So I'll fill in.

Approximately 1.8 million people in Missouri have a criminal record.

And individuals with criminal records face more than 44,000 documented collateral consequences nationwide, including barriers to employment, housing, education, license licensing, and civic participation.

Second chance month, observed every April across the United States, raises awareness of the challenges faced by justice-impacted individuals and promotes policies, programs, and practices that support successful re-entry and reintegration.

Providing second chances strengthens families, improves public safety, reduces recidivism, and contributes to a stronger and more inclusive local economy.

Clear Tomorrow KC recently launched the Jordan L.

Waller Second Chance Scholarship Fund, providing educational opportunities and financial support to individuals seeking to rebuild their lives.

Recognizing Second Chance Month affirms Kansas City's commitment to dignity, redemption, and opportunity for all individuals.

So I want to also just add uh my thanks as well.

I had the opportunity in my first term uh to experience what it was like to be a returning citizen through uh an event that was uh put on by one of the organizations, and I just can't imagine the challenges that they have to face, which were listed already in what I just read.

Uh, but I I really believe that uh you know, for those individuals who have paid their debt to society, they deserve a second chance to be able to be law-abiding citizens, and I'm so grateful for organizations like this to really put forth not only the effort, but even money, dollars, finances to help individuals return successfully to the Kansas City economy.

Councilman Rogers so I think most everybody knows I'm a small business owner, and we regularly hire citizens on a second chance, and I will tell you we don't get a lot of benefit when you're competing against big companies.

Normally the big companies have the advantage over the little companies.

A lot of the big companies make decisions that are not consistent with reality on this and choose to pass over hires that they should probably take, and that allows us to hire really good people that we couldn't otherwise hire.

So I hope that changes.

I hope that's not a competitive advantage for us for forever, but it is right now, and I'm I'm always grateful for any given time two or three people working for us who got a second chance.

It's a win for them, but it's a big time win for us too.

So thank you for all the work you do for our entire community.

Thank you.

And if there's no further discussion, all in favor, please say aye.

Aye, aye, aye.

Any opposed?

Okay, that motion carries.

Good afternoon, Mayor, Council members, and community members.

Uh I want to thank the mayor, uh, the council, and Lace Klein, wherever she is, if she's in here.

Uh, my name is Johnny Waller Jr.

and I'm the CEO of Clear Tomorrow KC.

I want to start by saying thank you, not just for this resolution, but what it represents because today is more than recognition, it's about responsibility.

Across the country, there are more than 44,000 collateral consequences of having a criminal record, barriers to employment, housing, education, and opportunity that follow people long after they've paid their debt to society.

And here in Missouri, we see the impact every day.

Too many people are trying to move forward, but the system makes it harder than it should be.

That's why Second Chance Month matters because second chances are not just about individuals, they are about families.

They are about community, and they're about the future of Kansas City.

I stand here today, not just as a leader, but someone who understands the work personally.

Second chance has changed my life.

And now through Clear Tomorrow, we're working to make every day a second chance for someone else.

Whether it's helping someone clear their record, connecting them to mental health support through our Clear Mind Therapy Fund or creating access to education through the Jordan L.

Waller Second Chance Scholarship Fund.

We are building pathways forward.

But I want to be clear, this work doesn't happen alone.

It happens because of partnerships.

So today I want to take a moment to recognize the leaders that walk alongside of us, our partners at the municipal court who are willing to rethink the system and how it serves people and not just process them and journey to new life for the work you do every single day helping individuals return home and find stability, purpose, and support in the Kansas City Municipal Community Court Coalition for bringing together voices across sectors to break down barriers and build something better together.

And to the individuals in this room who have been directly impacted by the justice system, I want to speak to you for a moment.

We see you, we value you, and at this moment, this is for you.

You are not defined by your past, you are designed defined by your resilience, your growth in your future.

This resolution is a step and it's also a promise.

A promise that Kansas City is moving toward a system that creates opportunities instead of barriers, a promise that your story still matters, and a promise that second chances are not just something that we talk about, but something that we are committed to building.

Today, Kansas City is making a statement, a statement that we believe in redemption, a statement that we believe in people, and a statement that we are committed to a safer, stronger, and more just city for everyone.

So thank you again for this recognition, and thank you for standing alongside of us for these second chances.

Thanks for being here.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Being here.

Thank you for being here.

Hi, good to see you too.

260361.

I'm sorry.

Recognizing April 11th through the 17, 2026 as Black Maternal Health Week.

I want to thank Councilman Curls for uh pinch hitting for me there, pitch hitting for me there as we just made the adjustment.

This actually is my special action.

Um those of you uh who know that I I read I do this every year because I want to make sure that we remember that our black mamas and babies are dying.

And we need to do something about it.

That is not okay.

Despite having one of the most advanced health systems in the world, the United States continues to experience the highest pregnancy related death among developed nations.

Black women are nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy related complications than white women, and the majority of the death deaths are preventable.

In Kansas City, these disparities are reflected in maternal and infant health outcomes, with black mothers and babies facing disproportionately higher risk, underscoring the urgent need for first focused community-driven solutions.

Established in 2018, Black Maternal Health Week is a national week of awareness, advocacy, and community engagement dedicated to amplifying the voices of black mothers, advancing black-led maternal health initiatives, and strengthening the conversation around improving outcomes for black families.

The City of Kansas City recognizes that inequities in health care, access, social determinants of health, and systemic barriers contribute to these disparities and affirms the importance of addressing these challenges through policy, partnership, and investment.

As we partnered in our first term to establish the city's doula program, uh which was just recently uh expanded and renewed.

And so, you know, we are doing we are taking steps.

We know that we have have a long way to go, but we are taking steps, and I want to commend these organizations and people behind me for the work that they continue to do to save and to improve these outcomes for our black mamas and babies.

If there's no further discussion, all in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Okay, this motion carries.

We have Shalise Clay with Uzazi Village, who's gonna speak.

Good day, everyone.

Um while I stand here, this proclamation and receiving another one for Black Maternal Health Week.

I am reminded that after 14 years of service, this work is still desperately needed.

Council mayor, pro tem.

We are at an urgent and critical moment.

Black women and families are still failing, failed by the system rooted in systemic racism, and the community organizations like Uzadi Village and K-Ben continue to carry the weight that fills those gaps.

Gaps that we did not create.

And let it be clear, we need real investment.

We need real money to continue the work and sustain and care for our community and give them the care that they deserve.

We also acknowledge that investment in city improvement should not take priority over people and poverty.

But we cannot do this alone.

Today, this is not just a celebration, but I'm calling on all of you as a call to action.

We need partnership, we need accountability, we need you to stand with organizations like Uzagi Village and K-Ben, and closest to the community to do the work that we are still doing every single day.

Because this is not just awareness, this is about survival.

Thank you.

Appreciate you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for being here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Nice to see you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Director of the City Manager evaluate potential relocation sites for the Korean War Memorial within Kansas City with an emphasis on high public visibility and sending value and reaffirming the city's commitment to honoring those who serve in the Korean War.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Joined today by my good friend Bill Prost, who is uh veteran uh VFW's past uh chair for um commander for district three.

This resolution um allows the city to show its commitment to the Korean War Memorial, whatever decision is made with the stadium.

We need to make sure that we continue to honor our veterans and find a space that is as good, if not even better, um, for them as well.

Um, this council resolution reaffirms its deep respect and gratitude to all who've served in the Korean war and recognize the importance of preserving their legacy through meaningful and visible uh commemoration.

And this will also involve relevant stakeholders in deciding where um the next place for this to be.

And uh, I know my good friends from local uh iron workers, local 10, Kevin, Kirk, and Daniel who made it last time around, they're actually sitting up in the front row next to Bill.

Um they'll be on that already, ready to assist.

So uh we just want to make sure that we are proactive on this as we are evaluating the stadium proposal.

We want to make sure that the items that are currently there are not forgotten, and we continue to honor our veterans.

Thank you, Councilman Willett.

Councilman Duncan, Mr.

Mayor, thank you.

Uh I would like to thank uh Councilman Willett for his leadership on this.

Um I'd like to be added as a co-sponsor as the uh as as known as the forgotten war.

Uh our veterans who served in that war, why I think it was a senseless war, uh, should not be forgotten.

So thank you for this.

Recognizes forness having cellary effective day.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

We would ask if you're standing up to sit down, though, because there are people behind you.

Just uh just to be respectful of them.

Okay, thank you so much.

Uh Councilwoman Boo.

Honorable Mayor.

Um the Kansas City Royals have been a cornerstone of Kansas City's identity for over five decades, having played in the city since 1969 and bringing two World Series championships to the region in 1985 and 2015.

Brings educational and charitable programs and contributes significantly to the region's tourism, hospitality, and entertainment sectors.

The state of Missouri has passed the Missouri uh the Show Me Sports Investment Act, which provides state funding of up to 50% of the total project costs for stadium project uh for stadium projects that cost at least 50 million dollars in connection with Major League uh baseball and uh National Football League teams.

The development of a new stadium and associated stadium district could provide significant economic development opportunities for the city and can expect to receive significant funding from the state of Missouri.

The downtown baseball district would increase tax revenue for the city and state of Missouri, draw tourism to the city and state, encourage recreation and educational opportunities for children in Missouri, enhance the Kansas City Parks and Boulevard system, and contribute to a vibrant, dense, walkable urban atmosphere.

The City Council remains committed to retaining the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City and is committed to continuing good faith negotiations with the Royals as previously stated in resolution 23 230656 and ordinance number 2600.

Washington Square Park Crown Center area has been identified by the Royals as the location for the development of the uh downtown baseball district, and the city desires to establish terms of uh comprehensive lease and a comprehensive development agreement for the project.

It is in the best interest of the city to authorize negotiations for a lease and a comprehensive development agreement while maintaining city council oversight and final approval authority.

Um the city council wishes to provide clear instructions to the city manager as to the terms to be included in the lease and development agreement, which shall then be presented to the city council for final approval.

Finance governance and public safety reviewed, um, made a few changes to the ordinance in committee and recommended advance and do pass.

Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.

I understand there's amendment.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

I move that committee substitute for ordinance number two six zero three three nine be amended so that it reads as in the document entitled committee substitute for ordinance number two six zero three three nine as amended, which has been distributed to all council members.

Second.

So we've moved in second.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

Uh a few minor changes.

Uh this would ensure that any additional agreements to include the development agreement comes back to council uh for review and approval, in addition to any community benefits agreements.

Uh so sections uh sections three second and sections four the only sections that have amendments in them.

Thank you, Councilman Duncan, go to ordinance and amendment, and I'll plan to be in support as well.

Is there any further discussion on the motion to amend?

Yeah, I just wanted to express my support and thank you to Councilman Duncan for making this, I believe, a stronger ordinance.

Um the city council really I think needs to be in the driver's seat here, and uh and while everything councilwork boo said about this is still true.

Um we still need to ensure that we have the uh create a uh uh enough stops along the way that we can review and make sure that this is the best product at the end of the day, and that um and that the that the voters of Kansas City, Missouri can be rest assured that this is the right decision.

Thank you, Councilman O'Neill.

Just curiosity, uh, we haven't really talked much about the community benefits agreement.

And I what what I have heard is that it's going through the parks uh department is going to have that uh responsibility.

So I'm just trying to get a handle of how we are treating this in a in a council way versus uh parks way.

If I may, I think fundamentally it would have to be so we'll use the airport as an example.

That all becomes part of a development agreement, right?

The development agreement will be something that's authorized by city council itself.

And so the nature of the transactions as to the distributions and others will be so still be something that's vested in the development agreement that's authorized ultimately by us.

Okay.

Councilman uh sorry, councilman Duncan?

Sure.

Just just to reiterate, Councilman O'Neill, I spoke directly with ECM Queen.

Um, and I wanted to get a bunch of better understanding since I wasn't here about how the community benefits agreement was decided and where it was decided within the agreement for the airport.

Um, and she said it was during the development agreement, uh, which is why I thought it important um that this come back to council.

Thank you.

Councilman Rogers, you've looked quizzical but haven't stood up all the way yet.

Uh well, I was trying to process it all, and it's and it's going quickly.

So Councilman Duncan did call me earlier today.

We talked about what what you wanted to do.

Would you summarize it one more time just so I'm clear?

Yes.

So this would amend uh this would not amend section two for the term sheet.

The the city manager would have the ability to negotiate and execute the term sheet.

It would amend section three to ensure that the development agreement does come back to city council.

It also provides an amendment in section four, which tar talks about ancillary agreements to include the community benefits agreement to ensure that has subject to approval of city council.

So ultimately you've got those two pieces that will now be coming back to city council for another look.

100%.

And it's debatable that they might have come back anyway, right?

I think this is just good clarification as to that point.

Yep, thank you.

Councilman Bunch.

Yeah, and and just the further clarify that there were already quite a few points along the way that this would come back, but this ensures that a couple more, including the CBA, which I think is perhaps one of the most important things, I think why so many people are here today, is gotta have trust in the community and trust from the community.

Um and and the CBA is going to be an important component of that.

And and for one example, I just want to point out is that um you know we've there's a there's a whole host of uh funding sources that we're talking about here.

Um one of them being um that there's potentially property tax uh changes.

Um and so I want to make sure that we are fighting for a taxing jurisdictions.

Um so um just want to make sure that that is something that continues to be front and center, and I think that councilman uh Duncan's uh amendment here ensures that that happens.

Now we would see those things to the mayor's point, we would see those things anyway, most likely, because we've got a development plan review process that has to come through city council and NPD.

Um we've got a TIFF commission that has to review potentially uh a financing part.

We have a bond vote as well.

Those are all points along the way that we will have uh more opportunity to get clarification on what this development actually looks like.

Um this I think adds a couple elements there and and ensures that we are continuing to be um uh at the helm here.

So again, thanks, and I'm gonna be voting yes for the amendment.

Thank you.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

Hearing Councilman Bunch.

We're now discussing the actual ordinance as amended, correct?

Um, yeah, I just want to uh, you know, I my name's on this, um, obviously supportive.

Um and I want to say that the that one of the things that I think is most exciting is is actually the location.

Um this is a process that uh it didn't go very well um uh a while back, and and a big part of that was the location.

Um here we have quite a few stakeholders uh out actually putting uh putting letters of support together who had been quiet before.

Um we have we have institutions like Union Station, the Chamber of Commerce, uh the Cross Rust Community Association, Crossroads Community Association, by the way, was was very opposed to the last um the last location that uh voters struck down.

Um here we have one that has been vetted, perhaps not with the official um process, but one that has been in the media quite a bit, and I um I think that it is a win-win to see reactivation of a of a park in the honestly a surface parking lot that's subterranean that is providing min minimal value to the fourth district.

And so for those reasons, um a big reason why I'm supportive of this is that we have uh location that I think is is uh it's a good one that a lot of people have gotten behind that we did not see that support uh two years ago.

So thank you.

I'll be voting yes.

Thank you, Councilman Bunch.

As we discussed before, we'll now hear item 260 340 at the end of the docket with the other funding item.

We have the other one.

It's it's it's it were going to be consistent on them.

And if we have other things to do after this, I get that it happens, but that's just all right.

So we're gonna go 26034.

Yes, sir.

Approving contracts in the amount of 2 million 30,048 dollars for previously appropriate funds and neighborhood tourists development fund for various nonprofit organizations elects as part of fiscal year 2026-27 annual application cycle for the purpose of promoting neighborhoods through tourism, cultural, social, ethnic, historic, educational, and recreational activities, neighborhood communities who pass.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

Uh the neighborhood services department received 293 eligible applications with supported activities occurring between May 1st, 2026 through April 30th, 2027.

The um I want to just commend the neighborhood tourism tourist development committee or uh board that reviewed these, and I believe they said they had like a hundred and seventy or 166 interviews that they conducted.

Uh all of our all of our representatives worked very hard for our city.

Uh, but 166 interviews that they held uh is is huge.

I want to make sure that we just commend them.

Of those, they recommended uh 246 awards for total funding of 2 million and 48 dollars.

2,030,048 dollars.

Uh due to the high amount requested of uh 9.4 million versus the available funds, the committee did not award 47 particular events.

Uh the this allowed them to focus on two of three event applications for many organizations rather than eliminating entire organizations because we have that something different occurred this year where many organizations applied up to three times.

The neighborhood planning development committee reviewed and recommended to pass.

And I also want to give a huge shout out to our attorney general uh for what she's done going after uh the 70H industry as well.

Maybe committees who pass.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

This applicant applicant seeks to D-annex or detach approximately four and a half acres from the corporate limits of the city of Kansas City to permit subsequent annexation by the City of Liberty.

The subject parcel straddles the municipal boundaries of the cities of Kansas City and Liberty.

The existing church building, parking lot, and all accessory uses and structures are located within the City of Liberty.

However, the property is addressed in the City of Liberty where utilities fire and EMT services are provided.

In 2003, when the education wing was added to the sanctuary, the addition encroached into Kansas City's limits.

And at the time, the building addition was reviewed by both municipalities, and the church purchased the property from the neighbor to cure the building encroachment.

Now they are seeking to uh DNX so that they their property can be located all in one municipality.

The neighborhood planning development committee reviewed and recommended advanced and do pass.

Thank you.

Mayor Pro Tim.

Councilman Willett.

Yeah, thank you.

For all my uh constituents who want to DNX from Kansas City, here's a little taste of that.

Um this is a church, so you're not gonna lose out on any tax dollars.

Um but the 104th Street, I do want to talk about that.

Is an area where we come together with the City of Liberty to make the full street improvements on the way to Liberty North High School, so we have safe routes, and that uh cross country team is very excited to have that full uh sidewalk, and we have a funding agreement within this, and this actually increases the portion that Liberty is responsible for maintaining in terms of public infrastructure.

We'll bring back for consideration item 260065.

Right after that, we'll bring 260340.

The clerk has read both.

260065.

Um that will both items.

So I guess you need to read it again.

For clarity.

I'm not sure she read the second.

You didn't read it.

That's right.

So we'll do the go ahead and do 260065.

Yes, sir.

Directed city manager assigned cost incurred by the Board of Police Commissioners beyond the 25% annual budget threshold for revised Missouri Statute 84th of 730 to the new fund entitled KCB over staff fund in the books and records of the city directing city manager negotiate with the Board of Police Commissioners a process for council approval of costs related to the Board of Police Commissioners established settlement agreements, including settlements with cost structure over future budget cycles.

Direct and city measure include an appropriation of 5.9 million dollars in fiscal year 26-27 submitted budget for the KCPD overage fund for legal sediments and such subjecting such payments to the council ordinance process.

Legal review committers to pass.9 million dollars in funding uh for KCPD legal settlements, those are structured settlements largely that have uh that thus are being paid out over a series of years.

This ordinance adds also the other ordinance 260340 does that exclusively.

This ordinance adds two additional sections.

I'm getting a little foggy, but I know someone will remind me.

One section speaks to uh the creation of a fund, currently named the overage fund that speaks to spending over the 25 percent statutory threshold being available for the spending uh towards lawsuits, uh, however, requiring a an essence negotiation or discussion process between the city uh and the Board of Police Commissioners as to the expenditure of such funds.

That is that ordinance.

260340 appropriates the funds for this year, and that's largely the conclusion of it.

Um the reason this comes before us now is because the I believe the liabilities that have been occurred incurred are due by uh April 30 of 2026, i.e.

the end of our fiscal year.

And so uh either has to be resolved this week or next week, although I would never tell the city council it has to do anything, but nonetheless, that's where we would sit.

So these are the ordinances before us.

Councilman Willard.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

I prefer the 260340.

Um I think this is unnecessary to classify as overage on 25 percent.

Traditionally, Kansas City has funded our police well over 25 percent.

I don't believe that we should even classify anything as overage to continue to play uh political games.

I believe our uh chief of police put together a very good comprehensive budget, and I believe that we should be fully funding our police, not doing it in this way where we come back and having to play games to get additional money above that.

Um but what what percentage um city manager are we currently at for the police budget for this for this next fiscal year?

I believe uh 27.2.

27.2.

And this is something I don't want us to go and play political games into the future, and so that's why I think it's important.

Yes, is it accomplished the same thing for this one year?

Maybe, but you're gonna set up the continued fight, and I don't think that's a good thing for us as a city long term.

Let's fund our police and let's let them the men and ladies of our city um do their job.

And our our our chief has done an excellent job on communicating with us.

She'd been grilled for over two hours here a couple weeks ago, and uh she's done acceptable exceptional job.

Okay, councilman Rob Councilwoman Robinson.

Um thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

So as I understand this five point nine million dollars is because they do not have the funds in their current budget to pay this.

And the only way they're not gonna money's not gonna grow on trees.

They have to come back to the trough, which is the city to cover their deficit.

Um, I want to know if we're going to pass five point nine million dollars to cover um the lawsuits.

Um is this and I just want to make sure that this five point nine million is related to the lawsuits that needed to that needs to be addressed in a timely fashion.

That is the amount that was provided to the city in terms of the lawsuits that are within the structured side.

So given that, um, we should go into closed session.

I make a motion to go in a closed session so that we can understand thank you for the second, and so that we can understand the nature of the over this, the five point nine million and the loss of theory.

Uh, six ten oh two one one, I believe is your motion.

Okay, what is the what is that?

Pursuant to six ten oh two one of the revised statutes of Missouri.

Six two oh one one six ten point oh two one point one of the revised statute of Missouri.

I believe is your motion.

Yes, that is the motion.

Sir Second.

Second, second sorry, sorry.

It's been moved in second.

Is there any discussion on ordinance 260-250 as amended?

Councilwoman Boo.

Um Honorable Mayor, this amendment would reduce the number of retail impact areas from five to three and establish a delayed effective date among other changes.

In committee, I gave uh several reasons why I think that there was not ample evidence of a nexus between the single service, uh single serve um liquor bottles and certain of the um alcohol impact areas.

One of the um alcohol impact areas that I'm seeking to remove lies in the 6th district.

I have had conversations with um members of the 6th district, and I'm standing up today to remove this because I keep my word, and that is why I'm doing that.

Um I am not going to be bullied into not doing it.

So I um offer this amendment.

Um I'm open to suggestions on ways to change it.

Um, but I'm doing it because I keep my word.

I I'll speak real quick.

Councilwoman Boo, I would just ask if you're amenable because there are a few changes that that um I have I I don't actually understand fully the logic, one of which will be in section 10-336 a 1-2.

That moves any malt beverage package at individual containers of 40 ounces or less down to 16 ounces or less.

Um that was in the the um the amendment that I got last week from councilwoman Robinson.

So I don't have it went from 40 to 16.

I just use that as a basis.

So if if if that's not wasn't intended by that recommendation, I'm happy to leave it at four.

Okay.

And then um I I see the tastings amendment, and then the final subsection E.

Having a year-long delay on the effective date just seems um.

And I would I'd be happy to speak to that.

I think some of the issue is um from a due process standpoint, and that that was actually suggested by the law department.

I thought it was uh a good recommendation so that those who currently have a um uh license, um, this would allow that this go into effect um or on the renewal, um that they would be aware of that.

Um happy to entertain, go back to the way it was, but I thought it was a good recommendation from the law department.

I would I would propose striking the effective date back to what was initially contemplated, which I believe was a 60-day period from the uh in from the passage of the ordinance, and then I would also recommend a 40-ounce uh limit just given what many of us would run into in the core legislation, given that these restrictions would still apply to the areas that exist within the ordinance.

I don't have a problem.

Councilman O'Neill.

I mean, I think the I understood the year to be something that allowed whoever had uh inventory or something gives them an opportunity to get rid of inventory and then when they is that part of that or I I think the year had to do with allowing an a time for which all of the licenses that are currently pending could be renewed.

So what the if they currently had a license, and and Matt may be able to explain this better, um, there might be some um right attached to that, and so once they have to renew their license that it would be done with under the auspice of the fact that this ordinance is in effect and there would not be any um right to continue to serve or uh single serve.

Councilman Rogers.

Uh thank you for bringing forth this amendment.

Uh my question is specifically about beer and the 16 ounce number, and I will say before I get into it, it's already illegal to sell a 40-ounce can of beer in the city of Kansas City.

So that's that's already the law under I I believe that's my understanding, so correct me if I'm wrong.

But I my whether it's on the amendment to the amendment or later as an amendment.

I do want to have a conversation about reducing that number from 16 ounces to 12 ounces.

It's my opinion that we're trying, and I appreciate what we're trying to do.

I'm sympathetic to it.

I think the most direct way to do that is by the mini liquor bottles, and I I think beer is a pretty different conversation.

You don't see the beer bottles in the streets, you don't see people throwing beer cans out the window, uh, but you see those those little liquor bottles everywhere.

Um so anyway, I can I can either offer the amendment now as an amendment to the amendment or wait, but I would like to have a conversation about reducing that.

I would love to get rid of beer altogether.

I don't think we've got the support to do that, but I would like to have a conversation about reducing the number 16 down to 12.

I think that would resolve some issues without creating any of the public safety issues we're trying to address.

Um to understand the motion practice a little more fully, uh, and I imagine if you accept a friendly amendment, we don't have to necessarily go through the full motion practice with the uh standing rule that requires all types of stuff as well.

I mean, you are amenable to a 40 ounce number and going back to the 60 day period.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Effectuated a friendly amendment.

As far as I'm concerned, it's subject to a point of order.

So you're okay.

Great.

So we'll read the ordinance to be back at the 40 ounce number and with an effective date 60 days from the from the passage of this plus 10 days, or but nonetheless, we'll have that.

All right.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure I understand that amendment.

We were talking about 12 ounces, and now we're back to 40.

He talked about 12 ounces.

I was on 40.

Uh, but I it's just gonna negate the uh amendment that's uh that has been drafted within this one.

My understanding is procedurally after we vote on this, I'll get another cracked offering amendment, right?

Before procedural, I'll get another opportunity to ask for an amendment.

You sure can.

Okay.

Councilman Curls.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh, my question is is why was uh the first uh area stricken, the Blue Ridge corridor.

Um because that was in the draft that I got last week from Councilwoman Robinson, and I started from that draft.

Let me just ask clarifying then I'll make but do the fifth district members want to keep the blue ridge corridor with somebody talk to us about it.

Exactly.

I I might as another friendly I'm gonna just go which so um that amendment was based off of what I thought was good faith negotiation with councilwoman boo.

I did not come up with that committee sub by myself.

That was a compromise.

And so I do take issue on the personal attacks because there's facts and then there's lies.

No one was bullied in this process.

No one was bullied in this process.

And I know you weren't talking about me.

What I'm saying is that we went through a good faith, what I felt was a good faith negotiation.

And I wanted to compromise.

And so that's how that happened.

Is that in our area of compromise, those areas were stricken.

And the point I was making is I started with the compromise that you gave me, and so that's the point I was making.

I because I I'm not I'm not wedded to the changes, those specific changes.

Um, but I am because last week you did suggest that I was not being serious with my negotiations.

And so and councilman curls.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Well, I would think that in any negotiation that included the fifth district, the fifth district would have been included in those negotiations.

I don't know where this came from from being stricken when the ordinance was originally drafted and talked about.

I was the one who suggested that this uh area be included in it.

And if it was going to be stricken due to any type of compromise or negotiations, I would have thought that I would have been consulted at that particular time.

I was not, and here we are now.

I'm just now seeing that it's being stricken from it without even having even further negotiations with this new amendment that is now before us.

So I don't think that there's been any real good faith negotiations taking place if the fifth district is not included in a negotiation that included a portion of the fifth district.

I would I would ask very simply.

I mean, I haven't gotten to talk to the fifth district members about this to even further amend, right?

The portion that would be within the fifth district.

I know they voted in favor of the ordinance last week.

Uh I believe that should they wish to have that still included, then it would be worthwhile to continue to have that as well.

Yeah.

I don't care.

Mayor Pro Tim.

I agree with my colleague.

I will not support an amendment that uh removes the fifth district portion of the fifth district.

All right.

So at present, then we restore section one.

Uh the only section that will be stricken, and I'll ask the people in that district would be the midtown corridor, which means geographical area bound by it includes mainly the fourth and sixth, 27th Street on the North, 47th, the Manual Cleaver, Second Boulevard on the South, City Limits of Kansas City, so State Line on the West and Truest Avenue on the East.

You're fine with the amended language.

I mean, I've been clear of my position on the beginning, and it hasn't changed that.

I just don't like the chopping and screwing the carving this part of town out, carving this part of town and this business out, this business in, and so I I see this as the same, so I'm intending to vote no on an amendment that does that and then remind ordinance.

I still think the best way to do this is to make it a punishment citywide and build a process for how businesses become eligible for that punishment, but that's my opinion.

And I will just reiterate that I don't disagree.

Um my point here is trying to ensure that we are having a sound ordinance that can do the good that we intend to do.

That has been my purpose all along, and every ordinance that we do, that's what I try to do.

And so to um I don't like carving it up.

I I tried to contact everyone this morning early on to let them know what I was doing.

Um the sponsors know even before that, and so you know it just trying to do my best here.

Councilman Red.

Please don't take that as a criticism, Councilwoman.

I am not yeah, okay.

I appreciate your effort uh trying to reach a compromise.

I I would just argue on behalf of the sponsors.

I think we also um I mean if everybody supports citywide application, then I guess we can just have that chat.

But you know, we asked and tasked staff after visiting with ABAG, after visiting with a number of different folks, how we can have as targeted and narrow an impact as possible.

So I mean I have heard the discussion too on we don't like dividing up the city.

We didn't ask to divide up the city.

We see a problem that we see in substantial parts of we all care about all of our districts, but in parts of our city.

Um I frankly see this problem in other districts of the city too, and so I would recommend either a future ordinance or anything of that sort if anyone wants to make this citywide, I'd probably be supportive of it.

Councilman Bunch.

So if the issue is largely uh I mean, everything I keep hearing is that it's the small high concentration liquor bottles, it's the biggest issue.

Um can somebody I I'm not in finance, I get to be on the two other committees at Sandwich Finance.

Um what was the objection to doing a citywide ban simply on small liquor bottles?

I mean, it was never my objection, uh, and I guess if we want an amendment citywide, we can handle it.

I would think though that the objection that came from the public was frankly, in the industry would be broader application citywide.

If you are an industry actor who has a concern foundationally with this, then you would, as I've heard, right want a narrower application of the rule, and that I think there was strong narrow tailoring on the part of our staff that did look and base this on crime reports, little reports, neighborhood concerns through 311, and that's how you get to um the discussion.

I look to the chair because they are broadly crime reports, not crime reports just with an alcohol nexus.

There's debate as to how easily you could get to that, but nonetheless, that's how we you get to what is laid out before you.

What a okay.

Um another another objection potentially here is um well I'll I'll I'll say that actually, but so you're suggesting that a narrower focused geographically speaking is the is the reason.

Yeah, I mean if you we'll just think about it from the policy perspective.

Uh if you are going to ban an activity citywide, then those who are in the regulated group will say we have qualms with your broad-based regulation as some uh accommodation to them.

We suggested that well, we will tailor it to areas where we are seeing more acute issues, not excluding the fact that there are actually issues in other areas of the city.

Indeed, they can pop up almost anywhere in the city in the same way.

But that's where you got the narrow tailoring, and frankly, it it's kind of the foundational step of crime prevention through environmental design, some of the other standards, risk terrain modeling that we've used in a number of other areas.

Okay.

Councilman Raymond.

I'm sorry, Councilman O'Neill, you go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Um I I'm sorry, I I wasn't in finance, so I didn't hear all of the arguments.

But I know a couple weeks ago we talked about uh in the mayor's office, we talked about a a new licensing pro where these small bottles would be licensed separately, and those those licenses would be able you could you could be able to pull the licenses when people weren't following the rules.

We talked about a a new licensing where these small bottles would be licensed separately, and those those licenses would be able, you could you could be able to pull the licenses when people weren't following the rules.

And instead of having to ban everything, I thought that made the most sense to me where we actually gain revenue on a new a new revenue stream from resources from this new license, plus we had the we had the ability to pull out people that were doing it poorly or wrong.

And I just don't know why that wasn't uh didn't carry more water to the uh to the discussion because it seemed like of all the final decisions that seemed to me the most practical to me.

So councilwoman Robinson Um Thank you so much.

Um we can always perfect things and make things better and bring back additional ordinances to make things better.

Um that's why I had an issue with the reconsiderate considering this ordinance because we do have a process to address these issues as it relates to the comments regarding uh good faith in the fifth district, it was the discussion in the testimony of the fifth district representative in committee that the ordinance was of not of value at all.

So when we go back and we talk about how to make how to make a compromise over and over and over again.

I did the committee sub based off of the conversations that I've had.

Now, should I have maybe next time I will encourage that council member to do their own work and bring us back what they want so it won't be like I'm giving them it's mines because it wasn't the ownership was not on me.

The ownership that what I did was to try to make a compromise.

And so I feel like we need to move forward on this.

Um and if there's areas that we need to be better about to the comment about punishment, we tried that.

We wouldn't be here if regulated industries were doing the punishment necessary.

I didn't see many of us on the corner of 35th in prospects, where all the mayhem is.

And so we do a lot to support the issues that are happening in everyone's district.

And so if the fifth district wants their area included, then include it.

But what I'm asking is to help us in the third district address the root causes of what we're challenged with, and especially to those who are at large.

Thank you, Councilman Robinson.

Councilman Duncan.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

Um hate to be a Pollyanna in a situation like this, but uh I do think a lot of great work was put into this.

Um again, I want to I want to recognize ACM uh Klein for her for her due diligence and research on this.

Um I understand it's a difficult situation uh regarding um how do we balance this, how do we ensure that uh the folks in the third district um past reach in the third district, even though I'm a sixth end district councilman because I understand that area needs help, right?

And that when we help other areas of our city that might the sixth district is also safer, right?

So it's why I support this ordinance.

The reconsideration is to find a better compromise.

Um I think we think we found it.

So I think we need to move it forward.

Yeah, um, and I encourage folks to vote for it.

All right, so we have the amendment before council.

As a reminder, the amendment that exists currently, and this is just the amendment.

We'll see a subsequent ordinance.

We'll have a chance to vote on the ordinance.

The amendment is what's reflected before you with the following changes.

2-216, section A1 is restored in the Blue Ridge Corridor.

Section 2-10-336 ball malt beverages are at 40 ounces.

And then at the end, subsection E on the effective date would be 60 days from passage of this ordinance.

We then get to come back and vote on the ordinance, perhaps make more amendments as well.

There's no further discussion on the amendment.

The clerk will call the roll.

Yes.

Aye.

Boo.

Aye.

O'Neill.

Ranch.

No.

Rogers.

Aye.

Robinson.

Aye.

Raya?

No.

Bunch.

Aye.

Lucas.

Aye.

Ten ayes, two nays.

Uh amendment passes.

Now the ordinance is amended is before council.

Ordinance is amended is before council.

Councilman Rogers.

Thank you.

I would like you to make an amendment specifically on the beer section.

So and I I Googled it.

Thank you.

It's already privileged to sell chill 40 ounce beers.

So you can sell warm beer, but not cold beer.

All of the conversation we've had is about the mini airplane bottles, and I think that's what we need to focus on.

I think we're looking at a significant revenue loss for something that's not directly related to what we're talking about.

We already excluded wine, too, I think is really important piece of this conversation.

So, you know, and like Councilman Robinson said, we can come back.

So you know, we're trying to address a very specific, very real problem in our city, and I get that.

So let's target what we're trying to address.

Let's we already took wine out, let's take beer out, and let's see if the single serve mini bottles does the trick.

So if it was me, I would do the same thing with wine that I do with beer, I would get rid of all of it.

I understand that we don't have the votes for that.

So with that being said, I I'm proposing an amendment that reduces, you know, we'll keep it's already illegal to sell chilled 40 ounce beers.

Um and my amendment would just simply change the number 16 ounces down to 12.

Second.

Second.

We moved it and seconded implicit within that is a waiver of the writing requirement and the standing rules.

Um the motion is to change it, what would be 40 ounces down to 12 ounces?

Correct.

You say the baseline is 40 at this point.

Yes.

But again, I want to reiterate it's already illegal to sell chilled 40 ounce beers.

It's not warm beers.

I would just say for discussion, isn't the standard though, that we're at a different point.

40 ounces is the ceiling, right?

And even though it's illegal to sell the 40 ounce, it is legal, and I don't know where the legality starts, but and maybe that's a fair question for someone who knows it, and I won't can you just um educate me on when you say 40 ounces, does that mean any you can't sell anything up to 40 ounces or just 40 ounces?

It would be you can sell 16, 12, and it would mean you can't sell 16 to 40, and right?

No, so I'm saying it would be 12, we couldn't sell 12 and less.

You could sell 16.

Um you still can't sell chilled 40 ounce beers because that's already against the law.

But all I'm doing is literally changing the number 16 to the number 12 in this amended ordinance.

Other than that, it would be 40 to 12.

Sorry, it keeps I'm sorry, I see where the confusion is.

Forget about the 16.

Yes, changing the number 40 to the number 12.

That's my amendment.

And I hate to do this.

Uh lace.

Can you explain?

This is on the 40 ounce, 16 ounce, 12 ounce question.

Yes, come on up, and then that microphone right there.

Your first time doing this.

Um right now, so as as drafted, it was at 40 ounces initially, right?

Yes, it would be 40 ounce um mop beverages, 40 ounces or less.

So that would include 8 ounces, 12 ounces, 16 ounces, 19.2 ounces.

I believe that there's a 32 and then a 40 ounce for malt beverages and beer that are sold within the city.

Okay.

And then you're looking to do 12.

40 to 12.

And I will say I think that we're looking at a significant revenue loss for the city without addressing the issues we're here to address.

That's that's my record.

Right.

Got you kind of.

I don't follow it entirely.

I'm just gonna follow how staff initially drafted it.

That's why I'll stick with 40 and be a no on on it.

But councilman bunch.

Um you good, thank you.

I know that we have a motion on the floor for amendment, but I want to point out something else that one of the one of the probably best selling small liquor bottles is fireball.

Um it's 33 percent, so it actually falls below the 35 percent.

Um point that out for the record.

So all right, but now it's second for move 40.

Is there any further discussion on the just one more clarification?

I'm old.

I think so.

By taking the 40 out and putting 12 in.

Um by taking the 40 out and putting 12 in, it means you cannot sell anything above 12 ounces single as a single serving, correct?

Yes.

Say that real quick, so when we move it to 12, we move it to the point where you can't sell 16, 30, 16.

You can't sell eight ounce.

You can't sell eight ounces or twelve ounce beers under my amendment.

Can't you?

So when we say 40 ounces, anything below that is out of play.

No, you can't sell eight ounce beers, you can't sell twelve ounce beers, you already can't sell 40 ounce chilled beers.

So the the goal is single serve, and a single serve is in my opinion, 12 ounces or less of beer.

So we're addressing those needs with this amendment for the single serve for 12 ounce beer.

12 ounces in.

12 ounces, you can't sell 12 ounces under my amendment.

You still can't sell a 12-ounce beer.

You can sell a 40.

You already can't sell a chilled 40 ounce before.

But that's my sell a 32.

Right.

I mean, yeah, but but I and this is just on a policy discussion.

My my concern with your ordinance is why are we uh maybe I'll yeah, just get to this as uh the comment.

So like why are we trying to sell in the 12 to 40 category?

What's additive to that?

So my preference would be to just address the single serve mini bottles.

That's that's sure my preference.

So if I had my dream world, we'd we already pulled wine out, we would pull beer out, and we would see if the single serve airplane shots address our issues.

That's that's not the the world that we live in, so I'm trying to come up with a compromise.

The goal is the smallest size bottles of booze, which are airplane bottles, eight ounce beers, and twelve ounce beers.

We're going to lose a significant amount of tax revenue, and we're not gonna address the concerns we're trying to address unless we accept this amendment.

And then my concern is I hear you on the 40, but I'm just gonna stick with the 40 because at least this is this ordinance, the one I'm looking at, it would allow us to then have 40 ounces.

No, it just the current version of the ordinance is meant.

Everybody are we are we creating a floor or a ceiling?

I get this is by the way to do this definitely you can sell you cannot sell under under my amendment.

You cannot sell eight-ounce beers, you cannot sell twelve ounce beers, you can sell sixteen ounce beers and bigger beers.

Under this version, my proposal that's that's what I'm proposing.

Is we're like this is a single serve ban, right?

So I'm proposing we do the smaller servings, which is what we're doing with with liquor, and not with wine again.

We're not touching wine, we're not touching fire ball, we're not touching a lot of other stuff.

Okay, as I appreciate what you guys are trying to do, and I really mostly agree with it.

I'm just saying we're gonna lose a significant amount of tax revenue, and we're not gonna address the issues with beer, we're gonna address the issues in other ways.

Councilman Robinson.

So for us again, I can only speak for the third district.

Our issues are with the tall boys, and so with the larger, it's a larger amount of alcohol.

So if you were to say, okay, we want to um exclude, and I don't know the the not the the numbers, but eight ounce, twelve ounce, okay, we could do that, it's exclude that.

And that was I believe that was in the committee sub that we had talked about last week.

But once you get to the 16 ounce and the larger ones, that's where we have it because people are ingesting more of it, even though the alcohol content is is lower.

Um it's more of it.

And so we're wanting to exclude that.

I you're yeah, and I would just say it's it's a lot harder to drink a giant beer than it is a shot of of whiskey or whatever.

But I I mean I get what you're saying.

So yeah, so I think I can clarify that that councilman Robinson I are in different places here.

I'm saying stop at 12 ounces, she's saying go all the way up to 40 ounces, and so I'm my amendment is in contrast to what we're we're just in different places here.

Okay, councilman bunch, but uh just want to clarify.

I under the way that it's prior to Councilman Rogers amendment.

I just tried to understand here.

You the what's before us, assuming we don't have the amendment, what we just voted on would would prohibit the sale of a two-ounce can of beer or a or a sixteen ounce bottle of beer, a can of beer, but would we still be able to purchase like a pint of 98% grain alcohol?

Right.

Everclear?

I would assume so.

That's okay.

Right.

I gotta get back to my English standard system.

Yeah, the pint would still be I mean, I just don't know 14.75 ounces.

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

There's a motion before the uh before the council.

I've I would just defer to what staff came up with at the beginning, and that's why I'm gonna be a no vote, but I I hear the different thoughts.

The clerk will call the roll on the motion.

Curls.

Is this on the amendment?
