2:00 Recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month and advancing mental health first aid across Kansas City community.
2:16 I know we see what we're going to see right now.
2:42 Council Member Rayo.
2:46 This is a resolution that recognized May as Mental Health Awareness Month in advancing mental health first aid across the city of Kansas City, Missouri.
2:55 Always this month is a great opportunity to remind ourselves about the importance of mental health, treating it, funding it, supporting folks who are going through it.
3:03 But this resolution spoke focuses specifically on mental health first aid, which is an evidence-based public education program that teaches how to recognize signs and symptoms of mental health challenges, provide support, and connect individuals to professional and community resources.
3:17 And I do want to recognize Celia Reese, who uh contacted us about this resolution, but who I had a conversation with uh months ago about trying to make sure that city staff are uh going through the training for mental health first aid and equipped to respond, especially our folks in the parks department and others who who operate with uh the general public.
3:38 So I haven't forgot about that, but I think it's a conversation we need to continue to have.
3:42 Um Plaza Academy has demonstrated leadership and dedication to student mental health and well-being by implementing teen mental health first aid during this 2026-2027 school year, ensuring that students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to support themselves and their peers.
3:55 Um, this initiative has been made possible through the support of key partners, including the Missouri Department of Mental Health, Mental Health First Aid, Missouri, Missouri Institute of Mental Health, and Mental Health First Aid Instructors and Supporters.
4:08 Um the resolution will recognize May as Mental Health Awareness Month and reaffirm our intent and commitment as a council to increase access to mental health education and uh prevention resources throughout the Kansas City, and there are a list of organizations that I do want to recognize.
4:28 They might have been part of the list that I just provided.
4:31 However, we do want to provide special appreciation to Missouri Department of Mental Health.
4:38 Uh, Mental Health First Aid Missouri, Missouri Institute of Mental Health, Mental Health First Aid Instructors, and supporters who collective efforts continue to strengthen mental health awareness.
4:51 Thank you, Councilman Raya.
4:54 Um I just want to say briefly, thank you for bringing this forward.
4:57 Mental health is physical health, and that we the more we talk about it, the more we uh remove the stigma.
5:04 Um, because there shouldn't be a stigma because we all suffer from issues that we need to seek mental health.
5:15 And so I again I want to say thank you.
5:19 Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.

7:48 Correctional officers are trained law enforcement professionals dedicated to maintaining safe correctional environments and ensuring public safety.
7:55 In Kansas City, corrections professionals perform an essential public service, maintaining safety and security within corrections facilities while upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals in custody.

8:19 Correction officers and employees play an important role in guiding individuals toward rehabilitation by offering structure, encouragement, and support in helping them successfully build productive lives beyond incarceration.
8:30 The community recognizes the significant contributions of correctional professionals, especially as we look forward to the future of correction in Kansas City, where their expertise and dedication will be crucial to success in the journey ahead.
8:43 And I say thank you, guys.

25:42 It's my honor to uh present this proclamation recognizing ALS Month as or May as ALS month, and uh actually recognizing Jennifer who brings this to my attention every year, and and uh I want to uplift her and encourage her on her fight in regards to this disease.
26:06 Um ALS uh commonly known as Luke Garrett's disease or amitropic lateral sclerosis, which is a mouth for a full, um, is a progressive neurogenic disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, slowly reducing a person's ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe.
26:30 There are over 30,000 people in the United States living with ALS, and despite being discovered in 1869, there is no known cure for the disease because the exact causes of ALS are unknown.
26:44 Funding for clinical trials are vital for evaluating new treatments and enhancing the quality of life for ALS patients, along with the Jennifer today is the ALS Association, which is the largest philanthropic funder of ALS research globally.
27:01 ALS Awareness month raises public awareness of the disease and the impact it has on ALS patients and their families.
27:09 And so it is my pleasure again to recognize Jennifer, her fight, ALS Association, and their continued endeavors in regards to trying to address this disease.
27:22 And I just want to say thank you, Jennifer.
27:25 Keep up the fight, and my prayers and thoughts are with you always.
27:30 Thank you, Councillor Carros.
27:35 Thank you, Honorable Mayor.
27:38 Jennifer, thank you so much for gracing us with your presence today.

28:50 My name is Jennifer Rob, and I became ill in two thousand twenty-three and diagnosed with ALS in 2024.
28:59 ALS has stolen my ability to walk and speak.
29:03 I have written a few words here for my husband to say.
29:08 ALS is a motor neuron disease that attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
29:14 As the nerve cells die, people living with ALS lose the ability to walk and use their arms, speak, swallow, and breathe.
29:23 The average life expectancy is two to four years after diagnosis.
29:29 Um that's pretty much uh what we have to say.
29:34 Um, it was already uh the rest of this was already kind of spoken beforehand.
29:39 So she just wanted to thank everybody for showing up and giving support to her.
29:45 And she also was very active before having ALS and was an avid hiker.
29:51 And it was just a couple years ago she was hiking in Colorado, so uh it's very cruel and sad disease to have.
30:42 Thank you very much for talking about.
30:45 Okay, can I come over here?
30:48 Thank you for being here.
31:51 I have to buy a space, don't I?
32:02 Just for some slight housekeeping, we will no longer have a um same day action request on the flag resolution and uh we will have I think one amendment on uh final readings debate document but we'll go ahead and proceed with the girls will have the first amendment but we'll just talk about it till he gets here for the final readings debate document yes sir 260286 amending chapter three code of warnings to appealing six and three-six twenty two for bailing wage application to incentive plans and an acting and move the remote new section six twenty-two enacting a new section six twenty-three prevailing wage application for incentive plans for for the purpose of enlarging and establishing applicable value wage policies for certain types of categories of incentive projects.
32:51 Amending chapter three code of warnings is um section four thirty seven waiver of M and WB goals for the purpose of greater alignment with efficiency among incentive agencies, amending chapter 74 code of ordinance is repealing section eleven affordable housing set aside, and an acting move of a new section eleven for the purpose of right sizing the payment in lieu of fee to better reflect the amount of subsidies we excuse me provided per unit of affordable housing directing city manager to issue a request for proposal for the next study to evaluate the affordable offset value and implementation of linkage fees on development within the city for the purpose of funding workforce and affordable housing and to evaluate and develop a development linkage fee program within the city and to report back to the city council within 60 within six months.
33:37 Councilman Boo, what we may do is just hold this one for just a moment until we get councilman curls back on the next item.
33:44 There's a request to hold that item for two weeks.
33:47 That is the 435 and soccer drive.
33:50 There's no objection, that's the 871.
33:57 There's no objection that I'm be held for two weeks.
33:59 We'll go to two six zero three seven seven.
34:04 Approving an amendment to the heart of the city area plan to include the neighborhood plan for the Southtown Realm South Browntop neighborhood, neighborhood committee to pass.
34:12 Thank you, Honorable Mayor.
34:14 Uh the goal of the um this is to establish a um approval for the South Round Top Neighborhood Plan, which is located just north of Central High School in the third district.
34:29 This plan was created through direct engagement with neighborhood residents.
34:32 It seeks to identify neighborhood issues related to city services and provide a to-do list for residents and elected officials to guide public investment and spur revitalization.
34:42 Public engagement took place with the neighborhood over the course of a year and included multiple meetings with staff from city planning development and the city council office.
34:53 The uh CPC recommended approval on April 1st and the neighborhood planning development committee reviewed and recommended to pass.
35:00 Thank you, Mayor Pro Tim.
35:02 Is there any further discussion?
35:02 Councilwoman Patterson has.
35:04 Thank you, Honorable Mayor.
35:05 Uh, just to add some commentary, this neighborhood plan is a part of a broader initiative.
35:10 I started in around 2023 when I found out that a consultant um to to do a neighborhood plan costs 250,000.
35:20 So this is a much more cost-effective way uh to get neighborhood input in terms of what are the actual things that they need in their own neighborhood, and then me as the policymaker is very helpful because I can look at their plan and I can um deploy uh resources and I can look at the larger uh infrastructure planning schedule and fit that in.
35:42 And so as a result of looking at uh South Round type's neighborhood plan, I was able to uh fund one hundred percent of the crosswalks they requested.
35:53 Thank you, thank you, Councilwoman Patterson has and congratulations on that success story.
35:58 Is there any further discussion on the resolution?
36:00 Hearing none of the clerk will call the roll.
36:03 Mark Shaw, aye, boom aye, backing, O'Neal.
36:14 Robinson, Graham, Bunch, aye.
36:20 Resolution is adopted.
36:22 We'll go back to item two six zero two eight six.
36:26 Honorable Mayor, this ordinance um would really was a product of uh several um meetings, both inside and outside City Hall, really to bring the um Port KC and the EDC's policies with respect to prevailing wage as well as MBWBE into alignment.
36:48 Um there were several changes made at uh the committee level, including uh providing for a nexus study addressing as well the our set-aside policy, which would provide for five thousand dollars per unit um uh to as a payment in lieu um adjusting that uh level finance governance and public safety reviewed and recommended to pass.
37:13 I believe that there is a um floor amendment from councilman curls.
37:24 Uh I move that committee substitute for ordinance number two six zero two eight six be amended so that it reads in the documented title committee sub for ordinance number two six zero two eight six as amended, which has been distributed to all council members.
37:40 Moved in second, is there any further discussion, Councilman Curls?
37:45 Uh this amendment will require the director Prio to make a written recommendation to city incentive agencies prior to a city initi uh incentive agency granting any waiver of MBE WBE requirements.
37:59 Thank you, Councilman Curls.
38:00 Is there any further discussion on the motion?
38:02 Mayor Pro Tem actually I don't have I don't have a discussion on the the motion other than just wanted to clarify.
38:12 Does this also include a uh report back to the council in terms of uh waivers?
38:20 Waivers that uh are granted.
38:23 Yes, uh uh thank you, madam mayor pro chem.
38:26 Uh we also include it in this uh of section C which says each city incentive agency shall annually on or before May 1st report in writing to the city manager on a number of waivers the city incentive agency has granted pursuant to subsection B.
38:45 Uh the report shall identify each project for which a waiver has been granted along with the description of the incentive provided to the project.
38:54 Uh and I know that uh a couple of my colleagues is asked me about uh do we want to do it for annual report or do we want to do it like on a quarterly so that we have a better update?
39:07 I'm open to discussion, if not uh uh it'll stand like it is now, and I think that uh we I've done this in concert with the EDC uh director um Tracy Lewis as well as Dan Moy.
39:24 I don't know if you want them to say anything or not, but they are in supportive of this as well.
39:30 Uh and thank you, Mr.
39:32 Lewis, for being here with us today as well.

44:50 Honorable Mayor, I'm going to try to explain this as well as assistant city manager Queen did.
44:56 During the time that we adopted the budget, there had been a request to continue a one-time funding for rebuilding together KC.
45:04 There was some confusion because we have a program called Rebuild KC, and at the time, it was understood that or it was thought that uh funding for rebuilding together KC was included in the budget.
45:17 Um this would put back the funding for $300,000 for rebuilding together KC in our upcoming budget or funded for um through at the level of $300,000.
45:30 At committee, we discussed um putting that into the the um neighborhood empowerment um grant, but allocating it for rebuild KC, rebuilding together KC.
45:50 See, this is how why it gets so confusing because there's uh um named this practically the same thing.
45:57 So anyway, uh finance governance public safety reviewed and recommended advanced and due pass.
46:02 I did not do as well as assistant city manager queen.
46:08 Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.
46:09 Councilman O'Neill.
46:10 I just want to thank everybody.
46:11 This is something that we thought was in there, and then we found out it was misappropriated or whatever.
46:16 Um but this group has done a great job for the last several years on putting this money into Platten Clay County up north and doing a lot of the things that are uh are needed for a lot of our uh our citizens up there.
46:29 So thank you very much.
46:31 Uh is there any further discussion?
46:33 I just want to say misappropriated has a connotation that is not very good.
46:38 It wasn't misappropriated, it was just in confusion.
46:43 Thank you, Uncle Mayor.
46:44 I just want to clarify.
46:47 Did you say that this $300,000 will be added to the neighborhood empowerment grant?
46:54 Yes, yes, yes, that and so then that for this year, then that uh appropriation will move to $700,000, but $300,000 will be specifically for rebuilding together.
47:09 It's it's just gonna go in that account and be administered through that program.
47:15 First, went to some of our our good governance standards, not that this isn't a wonderful organization.
47:20 The hope would be that the organization applies for a neighborhood empowerment grant in future years.
47:26 So rather than going through the process of budget amendment, if they went through the same objective process that the others do, it's just this year it's automatically going to them.
47:37 So we just remind them of that.
