The meeting will the meeting will come to order.

Our guest chaplain is Pastor Dale Schwartzler of Day Spring Pentecostal Church.

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

Good afternoon.

Father God, we thank you for this day for our families, our friends, and the freedoms that we enjoy in this nation.

We thank you for these representatives that are here today serving with willingness.

Bless their families and each of them individually.

Help us to recognize your blessings in our lives and this great council.

We pray, Lord, that you would give them wisdom and discernment to make decisions that are pleasing to you.

Knowledge and clarity in matters that they will consider this day.

The courage govern with justice and humility.

Protection from deception and corruption.

Guide their steps, give them hearts inclined towards righteousness, enable them to settle the business of governing on the sure foundation, and let their conversations be fruitful.

May your blessing and your peace be upon this place and all that are here.

We invoke the name of Jesus and thank you for your blessing.

Amen.

Officer Jason Cooley of the uh Kansas City, Missouri Police Department, after 32 years, is retiring from KCPD this Friday.

Officer Cooley often has the opportunity to serve as our deputy chaplain, I'd like to say.

He works with the chaplains at KCPD and has had for several years.

In addition to other duties, he was on the mayor's detail.

He was the third district citizen of the year in 2017.

But I think most importantly, he is someone who the community, particularly in the east side of Kansas City, but all around, have had the good fortune of knowing.

Officer Cooley, we thank you for your many years of service.

We know there's been a coolie on KCPD for some time.

So we'll make sure we get that picked up again.

But thank you for your years of public service, and we just wanted to give you an applause for them.

All right.

Now to show all of you, young people the opposite side of your career arc.

Officer Cooley, we're going with a much younger group.

If the clerk could read the first special action.

What's that?

It's on.

Yeah, it's just, yeah.

I'll try to shout it out, but uh this degree.

Yep.

Ready?

Hello?

So 606.

I think it's kind of recognizing, congratulating Faith Christian Academy Ms.

Baseball team for an outstanding 2025-26 season.

Maybe we'll just add a fall.

All right.

Oh, now we're back.

Yeah, I think, oh, there we go.

Is this better?

All right.

We're getting there.

All right.

Councilman Willett, do you want to uh give it a try to you come on over?

Yeah.

Uh oh.

Uh-oh, Willet for Mayor.

We all know that couldn't happen.

Um, I'm gonna do you this song.

That's all right.

I'm here to make sure we hold you accountable now.

Um, first of all, this has been a really exciting baseball season, not for the Kansas City Royals, but for the two private school, Christian schools up in uh the Northland, uh Faith Christian Academy, and also uh Northland Christian, uh winning both class two and class one.

I have the privilege, even though I'm district one, I'll talk about the class two champ, and then I'll let Wes Rogers, the councilman from District Two, talk about the Class One champ.

Um, but first off, we have Faith Christian Academy, uh, the Knights, and they demonstrated exceptional talent, teamwork, sportsmanship throughout the baseball season.

Uh, the head coach, Luke Casis, dedicated coaching staff of Ben McMillan, Ben Blanton, Jimmy Stantella, and the team represented Faith Christian Academy and the community with distinction and pride.

The team achieved a remarkable season record of 30 and 5 by winning district championship, the sectional uh district championship 12-0, sectional championship nine to four, quarter final four to two, and semifinal 6-0.

And they went on to avenge their former uh loss at the Ozark Mountain Sports Complex on June 1st by defeating uh Portageville 5-4 to become class two champions uh and represent Kansas City uh very well.

Faith Christian Academy starting players include Rhett Lear, uh Max McMillan, uh Jet York, Sam Atkins, uh Jack McMillan, Chase Newton, Parker Blant Blanton, uh Even Chip, Shemp, uh Cade Gibler, and Justice Strandler, and I'm gonna butcher that name again one more time.

Uh, these student athletes have shown dedication not only on the field but also in their academics and service to the community.

Faith Christian Academy is located in the city of Kansas City, and this Faith Christian Academy's first state championship title in any sport, and with only their second year in MISHA.

So that is remarkable as a full member school.

It is my honor to recognize their triumph and continued success and growth, not only sports, academics, uh, but their growth within Kansas City and in their um their mission in Christian education.

Uh let's give it a round of applause for our champions, class two, Faith Christian Academy.

Thank you.

Thanks, sir.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

I will just add this.

So on this city council, you have a set of state champions.

You may not know Mayor Pro Tim, Raina Park Shaw has all these records, was a state track star champion, Councilman Eric Bunch, Councilman Crispin Rea were great runners through school.

Others did other such things.

Uh that's me saying the rest of y'all right.

But I think oh yes, and then you won.

Well, you're you were giving me a face.

Did you win a state title and something too?

I did not win a state title.

Got it.

I came in last in state in case you wonder.

But nonetheless, we are we are proud of how you balance your scholastic success with your sporting success.

And we want to encourage you that we are proud not just of what you've done on the field, but also certainly all that you do off in the classroom and your community, and we encourage you to stay engaged as so many folks that I've had the honor of serving with, but so many people in our community do.

Uh I love this arc that the councilman gave us as well.

You're able to avenge past losses.

You're able to continue to do good work.

So keep up that effort and that ambition as you go on long term.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

Very none.

The resolution is now before council.

All in favor, indicate by saying aye.

All opposed.

Resolution is adopted.

You'll move just a few steps, and whoever will speak, come on up.

Come on over, gentlemen.

My name is James Stanley, and I'm the athletic director uh at Faith Christian Academy, as well as an assistant coach for these uh young men who stand before you who uh dedicated themselves and really excelled in excellence.

Uh we actually felt like the 2014-2015 Kansas City Royals a little bit because uh we lost in the class one state championship last year, uh, and then we were able to climb the mountain all the way back up and come out victorious uh this year.

So it was uh it was quite a sweet, sweet moment.

Uh we're thankful for these young men.

Uh we've got several seniors up here.

Uh Max McMillan, class one or class two player of the year, uh, who's gonna be going off to college at Cedarville in in Ohio.

Uh Chase Newton, class two, uh all state, um, and then starters, Jack McMillan and Evan Schmidt.

And so um the rest of our team couldn't be here today because of family plans and vacations and all of those things.

But again, on behalf of Faith Christian Academy, we'd just like to thank the city council and the Mayor uh for this honor and for allowing us to be here.

Thank you again.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, college, here in Burma.

We'll give you all the stuff.

Great job.

Next section.

260, uh 623.

Recognize and congratulating Northland Christian School men's baseball team for an outstanding 2025-26 season.

Actually, I'm just shaking it.

Alright, we're doing this again, and let's put this in perspective.

There are only six state champs statewide, right?

There's six classes, and we've got two of them here from the Northland today.

And I'll throw out Excelsior Springs, one class four.

So half the state champs came from Gladden Clay Counties this year.

That's extraordinary.

And I knew going into today that Northland Christian had won the state title.

I did not entirely understand the fashion in which they did it.

So first of all, congrats to you, Coach Aaron Holst.

Um, got other coaches here, Taylor Earl and Kevin Morasco and the players.

We've got the catcher, Jack May, infielder, outfielder, Cooper McFarland, pitcher-infielder, Lyndon Bishop, pitcher outfielder Joshua Joe uh Joshua Wolf, outfielder Kyler Langan, Mason Hall, an infielder, Aiden Dunigan, an infielder, Jones Montgomery, a pitcher, John Franklin Swain, an outfielder, pitcher Caleb Cook, outfielder Ashramarosco, outfielder Harrison Deaker, catcher Jack Wharton, and pitchers and outfielder Bob Body Lehman, Cole Esser, pitcher infielder, and Chris Hotchkiss.

And okay.

So here's the part I'm excited about.

Districts.

They won their first game against Kingsville, 13 to nothing.

District title against Wellington Napoleon 6-0.

So then they go to the state championship bracket in the round of 16.

They won 13-3 against Meadville, 2-0 against Rockport in the state semis, they beat Dadeville 12-1, and the state title game, they won 10-0.

So that is a combined score in their six playoff games of 56-4.

That is absolute domination.

I can't think of anybody better to deserve a state title.

So to that guys, I say congratulations.

Yeah, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Similar comments about Faith Christian Academy applied to Northland Christian.

Excited to see your continued growth.

Not only um in your academics and also your works, but your student population is continuing to grow and exciting to see all the additions and uh future expansions on, and uh, we're here to proud to represent you all as well.

Thank you.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

I won't be redundant.

I'll just say we are blessed to have all of you young people, your coaches, your teachers, and your families.

I thank them as well.

And we look forward to your ongoing success, both in baseball, and it sounds like it may continue for a little while with performance like that, but certainly in the classroom and in the community.

If there are no others wish to speak the resolution, the resolution is now before council.

All in favor indicate by saying aye.

All opposed, the resolution is adopted.

Same thing.

Come on up.

First of all, thank you to Councilman Rogers, Councilman Willett, Mayor, and all City Council, uh, phenomenal honor.

Uh, want to be first to say congratulations to uh Faith Christian.

Uh they were responsible for giving us two of our few losses this year and tight games.

It's a shame that we played each other back on March 24th, but uh in talking with their coaches that night um without putting cart in front of the horse.

We both coaching staffs were like we might be looking at two teams tonight that uh with the cleanliness of baseball that they're playing that may make deep runs this year, and it was uh pretty prophetic how that how that turned out.

So, congratulations to them.

Um phenomenal.

Um I said this many times this year, what a God thing for me retiring, and I'm glad you mentioned Excelser Springs.

I was there for 31 years as the head coach.

My son, oldest son, uh was re part of the co-head coaching staff this year with them.

So uh what a week for me.

Um family week of two titles in four days.

Um, but getting to come into this situation, um supportive parents, supportive administration, kids that were just unbelievable.

Um, again, in the classroom and on the field with what we did this season, we uh were fortunate enough to put nine nine young men on the all-state team without any pushback from other coaches, uh taking out the St.

Elizabeth squad that had won four of the last six state titles and dispatched to them in pretty clean order.

So um starting from the end there, we they've been mentioned before Jack May, Joshua Wolf, who was uh responsible for uh three of those shutouts in the six postseason games, Cooper McFarland, Aiden Dunegan, Mason Hall, and Jackson Orton, along with Coach Earl.

Um just again, appreciate being able to be here and you take some time out of your busy days to cap off uh an incredible 2026 for us.

Thank you.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Awesome jar.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Congratulations.

Nice banks.

Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, free oscillation.

Congratulations to help.

Thank you for your speech.

So 60625 honoring Aubrey Anderson for completing the Clay County America 250 Citizen Challenge.

Councilwoman French.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, as part of our uh nation's 250th um anniversary, Clay County has created a citizens program, and today I am honored to recognize Aubrey Anderson for successfully completing that program.

And I have my insurance here, Grace Adams, and the honor of bestowing this resolution.

Yeah.

As part of our nation's 250th anniversary, this program encourages residents to actively engage in the responsibilities of citizenship by learning about our nation's founding documents, participating in civic life, serving their communities, and connecting with local government.

Aubrey has demonstrated a genuine commitment to civic engagement by completing the challenge and earning the Clay County 250 Citizen Challenge coin.

Her accomplishment reflects the values of informed citizenship, public service, and community involvement that strengthened both our city and our democracy.

This recognition is not only about celebrating Aubrey's achievement, but also about encouraging others to become apt active participants in their communities.

Civic engagement begins with learning, volunteering, voting, and showing up.

And Aubrey has set an excellent example for others to follow.

On behalf of the Mayor and City Council, I congratulate Aubrey Anderson on this well deserved recognition and thank her for her commitment to be an engaged citizen.

I want to extend again my gratitude for you being here and your your involvement and civic and with Grace being here as my intern, then maybe someday you would want to come and intern for city council at some point.

Thank you so much, Councilwoman French.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

Well, I have been told I have some special work to do.

So Aubrey, if you'll join me right here, and I'll try to stay on the mic.

And Mayor Pro Tem Emeritus.

Come join me in the picture.

I got a guy.

I think that again.

But uh I'll try to speak for helping on uh Clay County and then the Clay County commissioners.

I thought it was important in terms of recognizing.

We also make sure that good people are on the special recognition for the county.

Yeah, really, not just for the city council, Councilwoman French, all of us in the city of Kansas City.

Congratulations, is your coin, and thank you for all you're doing for our community.

Thank you.

Don't take one quick minute.

I got ahead of myself.

Everybody in favor, anyway, saying I.

Now you get to say whatever you want.

Awesome.

Well, hello, everyone.

I am also a Northlander, and my family's history runs deep in Missouri.

We were actually members and are currently members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Irish Saints.

So we were some of the original pioneers who settled Jackson in Clay County.

And if you know your history, we got chased out.

So it's an honor here to be here in this city, in this county, in this country, representing my family roots.

And I love to be out in the community.

And I don't mean to brag, but I am a level eight on Google Maps because I write so many reviews about our local tourist spots.

So different historical sites.

I was a docent for the Jesse James House in Carney, and I spend my time volunteering in our community for our community.

And one thing I do know Mayor Lucas is through the giving machines.

I've volunteered with them from the inception of that.

And if you're not familiar with those, hit me up and I'll tell you.

So I just want to say thank you for this honor, and I'm grateful to be a Missourian.

And thank you for my treasure.

I'm a collector, so it's gonna be buried with me.

So thank you very much.

Thank you, Mayor First.

Congratulations, and thank you.

I love your necklace.

I just think we're gonna be right back.

All right.

So councilwoman Robinson.

Thank you.

Um Mr.

Mayor, under Council Rule 6.02, I move that the provision contained in Council Rule 4.01 that the city clerk shall dock in no more than three special actions at each regular meeting of the city of the council be temporarily suspended.

Second.

The moved and second.

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Hearing none, the clerk call the role.

Hi.

Oh, Neil.

Would it?

French.

Roger.

Hi.

Patterson has.

Hi.

Ray.

Bunch.

Aye.

Lucas.

Aye.

You have an eyes.

Motion passes.

Mr.

Mayor, I request that the clerk receive documentary read an additional special action to be included on today's docking.

Clerk will receive the resolution.

Assign a number and read the title.

That number is going to be 260631, declaring July 12th, 2026, as Procity Frogs Day in Kansas City.

Councilwoman Robinson.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

This has been such a refreshing day today to see all of our young people being recognized for their hard work in Kansas City.

And so we have one to round it out with Frosty Frog Day, that is this weekend that will be opening up on the historic 12th Street corridor.

And I have with me Chase Minton, one of my interns this year, who will present this special action.

And she did all of the research and came up with an amazing group of young ladies that she wants to recognize.

So, Miss Minton.

Good afternoon.

My name is Chase Minton, and I'm an upcoming senior at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy.

I am honored to present this special action on behalf of the third district to recognize these individuals who have shown loyalty and commitment to their community.

We recognize Joy, Abigail, and Bailey Thomas, founders of Frosty Frogs.

Frosty Frog's Water Ice offers non-dairy, fat-free, and vegan water ice desserts that come in a plethora of different flavors.

They started as a pop-up shop in 2021 when Joy was 10, Abigail was six, and Bailey was four.

They then became a storefront inside the Independence Mall in 2022 and are now opening their own storefront this Sunday, July 12th.

All three girls were born and raised in Kansas City and found pleasure in engaging the community to provide an enjoyable environment for all.

They find delight in having ownership while learning about business and entrepreneurship as at a young such a young age and want to create generational wealth for their family.

Family is a big pillar for them.

They believe that family is all anyone has.

So creating a sense of legacy through business is one of their top priorities.

As they are growing up within the third district, they begin to recognize the strengths and the challenges within their community.

Those experiences inspired them to give back, create opportunities for others, and help build a strong future for the place that shaped them.

They believe in leaving a place better than they have founded, which is just a testament to their commitment to serving and uplifting their community.

In many areas, decades of disinvestment have left gaps in essential services, which small businesses help fill.

When interning with Councilwoman Robinson, I've learned the importance of community, particularly advocating for issues within your own community to benefit others around you.

While analyzing statistics of disadvantages in black and Hispanic communities, it was very important to me to highlight a business that supports the community in many different avenues.

Research shows that black and brown entrepreneurs often lack the startup capital they need to launch a business.

With Kansas City hosting the World Cup, commentary has exploded surrounding our unity and individuality and culture, entertainment, and food.

This discourse is not a result of our chain restaurants or giant entertainment spaces, but of our small businesses that create spaces for complex ideas.

This just shows how small businesses foster the creativity that Kansas City is becoming known for.

As a result of their work to develop a creative idea that excites the community, particularly in the third district.

I'm ecstatic to present this special action, recognizing the new steps the Thomases are taking in the legacy that they are building.

The opening of their storefront is this Sunday, July 12th from 3 p.m.

to 8 p.m., located at 1219 Brooklyn Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri, 64127.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Madam Intern.

Wonderful Lincoln College Prep student.

And thank you for that and thank you for the acknowledgement here.

Are there others who wish to speak to the special action?

Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

Wow.

I'm telling you, our future is bright.

I was so amazed.

Excellent job.

Thank you, Councilwoman Robinson, for bringing this forward.

And I just have to ask one question.

Why didn't you bring Frosty Frogs today?

So we can try it.

I love Frosty Frogs.

Exactly.

You should have brought a little teaser for us.

But I have just been amazed.

I've seen you all uh different events throughout the community and so inspired uh by you these young entrepreneurs who are paving the way uh for others in the community.

And so I want to uh commend all of you for the work that you're done that you have done so far.

Thank you also for giving back to the community because as she stated in her statement, um, you all are uplifting others in the community as you rise, and I congratulate you.

Thank you for that, and I'll see you Sunday.

Thank you.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

Hearing none, I'll I'll just add this briefly.

I I eat at 12th in Brooklyn a lot, and y'all are giving us a good additional, very healthy option.

Uh and we can be not healthy if we want, but we got all the choices that we have, and I really appreciate you doing this in the community, investing in our community, and opening up another great business in Kansas City, particularly with so many young people involved that is the difference maker and how we make our community better.

So I'm gonna be there too and look forward to it greatly.

If there are no others wish to speak to the resolution, the resolution is now before council.

All in favor indicate by saying aye.

All opposed, resolution is adopted.

There's a request to hold that item till our August 13th meeting.

Is there any objection?

Hearing none, the item be held till August 13th.

Next item.

Yes, sir.

260510.

I'm in a chapter two code of ordinances administration by enacting a new article 20 open meetings and records to codify the city's policy with respect to open records and meetings.

Modernize the policy and act and act governance changes that provide that the city attorney will coordinate and have oversight of the request fulfillment process and repeal ordinance to that's 115 of the city code.

Finance committee was due pass.

Councilwoman Boo.

And then it is a council's desire to make a modernizes existing provisions related to the open records and meetings and establish the law.

This amendment will finance governance and public safety review.

Thank you, Councilwoman Boo.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance?

Boo.

Duncan.

Patterson Hasley.

13.

Ordinance passes.

260572.

Authorizing city manager attends to an agreement with restar for the purpose of providing increased housing option for families and homelessness.

Estimating revenue and amount of 562,250 dollars and appropriating like transfer to the general fund.

Appropriating that amount for an unappropriate fund balance of the general fund for the purpose of agreement, recognize this one, is having accelerated effective date.

Councilwoman Boo.

So I'm wondering how we find that.

But I don't know if we can probably pass on the to me, it's almost um a technical question, which sometimes I think can be resolved still with passing it.

Because as I understand it, we're and tell me if I'm wrong, ACM, but we're estimating the appropriation.

But it doesn't mean that we necessarily um transfer funds urgently.

And so by approving the ordinance, all we do is line up the issues.

Now I guess the challenge is if we don't approve the housing trust fund ordinance, then you find yourself in a slightly more troubling place, but one that can be fixed in the housing trust fund ordinance too.

So my hunch is that there's no material concern with getting out of sequence somewhat.

Okay.

Councilman Ray.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, so what I would suggest is we take this up and we pass it out so that we can get moving with support or restart with the expectation, just so everyone's aware and I'll notice that if for whatever reason the balance of the funding is not approved in the housing trust fund, I will come back with a similar ordinance with a different dollar amount to reach the full 1.4 million that we dedicated to restart.

Yep.

Is there any further discussion on the ordinance, Mayor Pro Tim?

Thank you.

Um I was trying to pull it up quickly, but what if we just add a statement in there uh that is you know contingent upon the other ordinance that's coming through or contingent upon that appropriation?

I think it included that when we pass it out of committee.

It seems uh um seems like it might be just surplusage.

Uh as in you, I don't know if you need it.

Um I mean, in the world that the housing trust fund ordinance isn't passed, but this exists, and then the appropriation isn't there, then the second ordinance would in some ways I think abrogate the effect of the first, and so what you would lack then is an appropriation for the other, so it's so it's contingent regardless, and then we would still need to councilman Raya's point, then a separate ordinance to backfill what the funding source would be.

I think okay, yeah, maybe allowed to pretty sure the right people will come in now.

I don'll get the signal, that's the other side.

That's it, sir.

Understood.

So any further discussion on the previous one.

Harry Nunn, the clerk will be call the room.

I move for immediate adoption.

Thank you.

Just discussion on the motion.

I um only question I have, and I'm just reading only in section one.

You direct the city manager to halt negotiations.

I would suggest now.

Um do we know how many are impacted in that?

No, we don't, okay, and the reason we don't know is because of a lack of transparency since November of when I brought the issue forward, and so we need to stop and we need to figure out what the process is, who is engaged in the process, so that the city council can be notified of transactions that are taking place, and this is really um a result of just you know not getting information that that has been requested for several months, and what about there may be no negotiations going on as far as I know, I don't know.

Understood.

What about if there has already been, and this is where I'm trying to think I didn't get to write it with you, and that's all good, but if you have the opportunity, fair enough.

I'm just too slow.

Um let's say because right now it suggests that any negotiation anywhere should be frozen uh until there's a fair and transparent process.

Uh if there's already been a process, I mean I guess we could just read it that this ordinance isn't impacted.

So let's say, for example, we're we're doing something with I don't know, Bartle Hall that we've already negotiated, right?

Um, so these are specific to foreclosed projects, uh projects that are at risk of foreclosure.

Well, I hear you.

They're not any negotiation ever, it's just and actually there are only Germain of seven projects.

Six of them are in the third district, one is in the fourth, and so it's not every project in the world.

It's these ones that are at risk of default that how that I've been made aware of.

I would and maybe the city attorney can enlighten me and with regard to respect to the drafters.

I see section one is a bit broader than that, and maybe that wasn't the intention, but as I read section one and maybe the use of any and all of those, so be any property involving a city backed loan, loan guarantee.

Risk of default, what's that?

Maybe we insert at risk of default because those are the properties that I'm interested in.

Yeah, I might I might ask even the lawyers or the manager if we're looking to um draft something that speaks to like these seven properties.

Is there a narrower way we can do that?

And I'm looking the city attorney's behind you, so I'm not just staring at you.

Oh no.

Uh yeah, if there are, and and I'm reading too.

If there are identified properties, if there are identified transactions that uh we could say uh, you know, to to uh stall or to halt until until some report is given on the status of them.

Sure, we could shrink this to something like that.

I agree with you.

I think it is very broad.

Um and I don't read it contextually with the recitals.

I think section one stands on its own.

Uh so if there is if there is a particular goal, I'm happy to help with some language.

I just don't know.

I think your offer and city manager next year offer is an interesting one, just if we took the language from the first recital at risk of default or at immediate risk of default.

Yeah, uh, that kind of that's the goal.

So it should not it should not be broad.

So, we're trying to cure, yeah, some something's about to default, and we just give it or give it to some development team or something like that to avoid it going into default.

This isn't the goal isn't, I don't know, do something different on Bartle Hall tomorrow or something like that.

And now Bartle Hall was at risk of default.

Now, well, that's why it would put risk of default in.

But it is city backed.

We agree, we agree.

At risk of default, absolutely, uh the city managers gonna in likeness.

I would have one concern if uh, you know, with respect to an impairment of the contract where there's a transaction between the city uh and the borrower might require a consent from the city to an assignment of a loan uh without you know unreasonable delay, that would be the concern that I would have that we would be unable to fulfill that that condition of that of that contract.

Well, you wouldn't be able to not fulfill the conditions because I mean I don't read it that way.

What would for example if that is a part of the process that just needs to be made known to the council?

Ultimately, what is the process?

Um how do we deal with such transactions when they arise?

How do we maintain the afford because all of these are affordable housing projects that were back 20 years ago or so?

And so now that we know that there's a critical mass of projects that are being impacted, we need a set of and maybe we've just never had this happen because this is 20 years ago.

Um so we just need to be made aware, you know, in the case of a consent that he just described.

Uh we just need to be made aware that that is the process, so that you know, council is notified of transactions that are taking place.

Yeah, I mean, I I mean I think I think that's fair, and and I would just want that to be uh somewhere available for city council.

I mean, whether that's a quote closed session or not.

I think you know, every every transaction is governed by the contracts that are written with them involved in every transaction is different, but that's just the nature of real estate and finance.

Um I guess updates to uh regarding several properties uh and their current financial condition.

Um that's what we're trying to do, try to put together a comprehensive summary of where some some of these properties are.

And council member, I did uh sent to you a status report yesterday on several transactions that are pending.

Not they're not they're not pending, but several properties that are at risk of default.

At risk, and so how we address each one of them is gonna be different given the nature of each each property.

There is gonna be practically difficult to develop a standard policy for each because they're all each one of them is so different, and whether I had some some have not started construction, some are been operating and then can pay the bills, some are falling apart and and need to be completely restored, and and the value of the loans on them are significantly higher than the you know the than uh uh than this um appraised out of the property.

So it does take um professional judgment to figure out exactly how many how to handle each one of them.

So there should be professional judgment on how to each how to handle each one of them, yes.

And there also should be some guiding policy that gives you parameters without removing complete flexibility, but there should be policy that sets forth um, for example, if you're go if if there's an opportunity with there is a loan that needs to either be foreclosed or forgiven or transferred, just the broad decision points, uh, what is the policy for how that is made, how that decision is made.

And I am of the mind that real estate is too important for it to be fluid, right?

So I mean just to go examples, but not to go with one that's uh forward looking parade park, right, at different times.

And actually, this is in some ways the process done right, even though there were people who critique us on it, right?

They had a federal loan, a HUD loan, and even though there were people who are interested in buying the property, you still had to go through a process, and the current builder was selected persuaded to at least some process with what existed.

And that's because the federal government has a process for when you're defaulting on their loans.

And what I've discovered is we don't really have such a process, and so that's that's what I'm trying to establish.

I've asked politely for several months, firmly yet politely, and so um I found myself in the situation where I need to just do it in public to get it done.

And so that's that's the uh spirit of the ordinance.

I mean, in on resolution, and honestly, it shouldn't be that difficult to do because I've been asking for it since November.

Some ways it's just I'm just giving advice, although anybody can do anything, right?

It's like expanding chapter three as well.

You could actually just make certain procurement steps that already exist in other parts of city operations part of this too with some hundred percent.

And so one of the one of the sections, uh, does say codify it.

Got it.

And so now, you know, in the code, it usually does it doesn't prevent you from being flexible, you know, and doing what you need to do, but it does give you a set out process so that the public is made aware that this is how it happens.

And if you like with Parade Park is a great example, because there are very few people that could afford to redevelop right, but you still made the redevelopment opportunity known in the public sphere, and so that's what we need to do with these properties.

Um, you know, primarily there are in my district where you might buy them pennies on the dollar, and so that needs to be made a known to the general public so that it's fair and transparent.

That's the goal.

All right, you'll uh take the friendly amendment immediate risk in section one.

I think the city attorney was tracking.

So it would kind of take the first recital, um, integrate that into section one relating to a sale to the sale transfer disposition of any property.

Of any property involved or evolving immediate risk of default of the loan.

Councilman Robinson.

Um, thank you.

I just wonder uh why this was is so urgent for us to do it today versus sending it to committee.

Um my only caution would be around any um legal issues that we might encounter because these are these are connected to contracts.

So I would like to get um some legal advice as to any exposure to the city and to know more about um why we couldn't hash this out in committee, but I do support my only issue was with section one, so all the other issues that are here I fully support because it does um really talk about a process and transparency and we need that, and I don't think that that needs to be delayed, but I am concerned about um the legal ramifications of of stopping negotiations that we might be contractically obligated to do.

Um I would be um I would be surprised if the con if the city is in the process of any negotiations in actuality, so um I guess I would entertain striking the the halting of negotiations, because if negotiations are underway, that's even more problematic.

Um so we can just strike one.

Yeah, we can strike it.

One of the things you also might could do is just to also say to notify the council immediately of any and all negotiations so that you are aware, but we're not we are striking, yeah.

Okay, fair.

I like that.

So I'm hearing the strike section one.

You almost add a new section that you can do.

No, I don't think we need to strike it.

She just said notify notify of negotiations.

So take the halting out.

So not halt.

Right.

Don't halt, notify the country.

The council of negotiations related to the sale transfer of at risk.

Relating the immediate, yeah, the immediate risk.

Yeah.

Okay.

So understanding where we are.

Yeah, that's she good.

Um, that's why she was elected.

For years now.

Alright, so uh new so section one would suggest the city manager is directed to notify rather than halt.

City council negotiations related to the list relating to the um things at risk of immediate default.

Yes.

Uh necessarily that would delete most likely the clause until a fair and transparent process.

Just because you're doing a new action now.

But so that would delete that last clause.

Then in the subsequent parts, section two is just saying create a process that's codified with a recommendation that that codified process include public notification.

Section three is a policy establishing the mechanisms, which relates kind of to section two, and then section four is developing a codified process requiring approval to the commencement of negotiations, execution of agreements, sale of transfer, and others.

So just looking for code work.

Section four was somewhat cumulative of that last sentence in one.

So I think I would have recommended striking one to begin with because it's duplicative than four.

So I think you're yeah, all right, we'll take what you said.

Yeah.

It's been moved and properly seconded.

Sorry, not trying to do that.

Yes, I will I will rule that it has, yes.

All right, so the all right, Mayor Pro Tim.

Thank you, Uncle Mayor.

I actually just would have a question for the city manager or whoever has the answer.

Are there any that are uh at risk of uh default?

I would think in the event the answer is any affirmative, immediate, yeah.

Maybe that are maybe the recommendation is yes or no.

I don't even like this to councilman Robinson point, Robinson's point does get kind of closed sessioning.

Um, it's a predicate step relative to litigation potentially, so I would advise as much.

Anything other than yes or no, right?

I mean it's only 340.

We could we could go to the is what's the answer?

Yes or no?

Yes, okay.

Then I'll move for a closed session pursuant to 16.021 subsection one for legal for legal advice.

One.

We moved to seconds.

Well, has it been seconded?

I'm sure second.

All right, the clerk.

Well, is there any discussion on the motion?

Do we need to go to closed session?

The clerk will call the roll.

Girls.

Closed session.

Closed session.

Yeah, butn't there a motion on the floor already?

Yeah, you can you could the now the closed session motion is the motion at debate.

I don't think a closed session is necessary because everybody everybody has been sent the list.

No.

Not yet.

No.

I have not said the list yet.

Well, the it exists.

And so that that question can be answered.

I don't necessarily think it needs to be done today.

That's my personal opinion.

Understood.

Well, but you want it passed today.

I just said it's a committee if it's not that critical.

All right.

So on the floor is there, there's a question.

Uh motion for closed session.

Let's go ahead and call the roll on the motion.

Curros.

Mark show.

Boo.

No.

Duncan.

No.

O'Neal.

Willie.

No.

French.

Rogers.

Patterson Hasley.

No.

Robinson.

Raya.

Bunch.

Lucas.

Aye.

Four eyes, eight nays.

Okay.

The motion uh fails.

So let me say one last thing.

Yes, sure.

I just want to clarify.

It is a resolution directing a policy be created and codified.

And of course, we will not create policy or codes that are unlawful.

We won't we won't do that.

Matt won't let us.

So we'll create policy and codes that are allowed to.

I'll do my best.

It has been done before.

I mean, I don't want to be too.

I'm gonna go back to the mayor pro tem's question.

Part of why I supported the motion.

I I I best I saw an email today.

I don't I I was not in any way able to get into any depth.

I at its core don't know what we're talking about.

And I do think to the mayor pro tem's point, and I found it to be a reasoned one.

It's worthwhile to know what we're talking about.

So I mean I guess we want to do it publicly, you know.

But there's somebody at risk of default is the concern that there's an individual party that's at risk of default, and that the city in some way has some sort of role with direction as to whom would be the entity to take over the property.

Is that that's like a city manager?

Yeah, let me clarify that.

I mean, there we uh we are a party to several um agreements with various properties, some which are at risk of default, we are have not entertained the the idea of foreclosing, and private parties are negotiating against you know amongst each other on transfers.

The decision for us is to consent to the transfer.

But that hasn't been that hasn't been brought to us, those negotiations are happening privately.

So are we engaged in the transaction?

Yes.

Are we do we have a role in in transaction?

Not until somebody comes and requests for for an assignment of a loan document.

At which point there are some policy decisions that we will enforce.

So for example, this loan was granted to this individual to provide affordable housing.

Is the assuming party going to continue to provide affordable housing?

If the answer is yes, then you know that is a positive dorsal transaction.

So it isn't, it isn't these things are not automatic because the conditions of the original loan and the board will probably continue to continue to enforce.

Um but these are not things that we're initiating, they are being initiated between private parties because they don't want to go through the foreclosure themselves, they'd rather have this they'd rather have somebody else take over the property.

We're not forcing that situation.

Okay, councilman curls, thank you.

Okay, thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

So maybe the best path forward is to send it to committee for further conversation, seeing how there seems to be a lot of uncertainty as to what exactly is trying to uh take place, and I mean that would still provide the public form for it to be discussed.

Uh, and I don't know if there is a sense of urgency and what that sense of urgency would be, and if there is, maybe that could be explained.

It would seem to me, to your point, Councilman Curls, and I don't know what everybody thinks.

This all started from us not wanting from the sponsor not wanting the city to do something, right?

And so, really, could the city, when the city is represented by the city manager, I mean, can't the city just abstain from uh doing the thing that we were initially trying to proscribe, at least for some term.

No.

It's not complicated, please.

It's it's really not.

It is not that, it's not a want or don't want.

You know, is it's not about a decision about what to do with a property.

That's not it.

It is what is the process that staff are using to make decisions about properties, and what is the policy that is guiding those decisions, and that doesn't exist, and so this resolution calls upon the manager to complete it, to create it.

That's all it does.

It doesn't make decisions about the properties themselves.

No properties are mentioned.

And to the council member's point, you know, she's absolutely correct.

Um these transactions, this financial transactions and policy about how to uh how to consent to an assignment, you know, when to consent to an assignment, those those are not there's nothing written down other than what's in the contract.

And if the contract says shall not unreasonable withhold, then that is what what the policy for that specific situation is.

If the contract says we shall evaluate XYZ factors, and that becomes the policy for that particular transaction.

I do agree that we want to have probably a guiding, you know, or some basic framework for saying like we're not gonna do these things, but one thing I don't want to do is create a number of conditions that are mandated by city council that might uh you know prevent or make people not want to be partners with us on difficult transactions because of the various barriers that that get get that get imposed.

So, but you know, so baseline for me, do we need a policy and transactions?

Absolutely, because we don't have one.

Um but beyond that, I think I want the policy to be you know as flexible as possible.

Okay.

Which which would be reflected in the recommendation you would make, which I already just not.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

We we want to hear your wisdom.

Well, I mean, I'm okay.

Never trying to complicate just always any time a contract is some I'm just trained to worry about whenever we mention the word contract in any legislation.

So I mean, at its core, just to make sure because the fifth district made some points I'm I'm sympathetic to just to make sure we're we're good, which is we're striking sec well, we're not striking section one.

We're now we've changed the verb uh and it was directed to um to what with negotiation.

Yeah, let me uh the section has been rewritten to read the city manager is directed to notify the council of negotiations related to the sale, transfer, or disposition of any property involving immediate risk of default of a city bank loan, loan guarantee, or bond obligation stop.

Got it.

Section two is just develop a process to present to council a codified process.

Really that at its core is all there's more to it, but yeah, develop a process.

Section three is a policy establishing mechanisms through which the city and the public ensuring the financial success of the sale or redevelopment.

All right, that would relate to section two, which is the process, and then section four, there was some discussion on that develop a codified process, requiring approval prior to the commencement of certain negotiations, execution of agreements, et cetera.

And then to the extent that there's a concern, this is the only answer to councilman Raya's point, um.

Um, I mean, I guess although there's a direction to the manager in section four that says developer process that provides for some sort of pre-approval, uh, pre-contract approval.

Um, um he or staff could always come back and say we are concerned with pre-contract approval.

And just say while section four suggested this, we actually think it's not in the best interest of the city to do pre-contract approval.

You could do all that.

Right.

And then how our results understood.

We'll just come back.

All right.

Things in our imagination that aren't reasonable.

You just write it in the class to the resolution.

The only nib I would say is maybe directed to develop a codify a codified uh codification for council consideration.

He can't codify.

Okay.

That's fair.

That's fair.

And then, yeah, and I think I think to the extent that the manager comes back and says, hey, the bankruptcy code is gonna be an impediment to these things.

Contract law is going to tell us these things, even if the council passes something separate.

These are the things they're gonna guide, hopefully, you know, merits of contract law, which change over time as courts adjudicate them.

Yep.

Uh you know, we won't want a stale policy relative to that, but I think you would have this rights under the charter and even this resolution to give his honest recommendation, even if it conflicts with some of the stated presumptions that would be in here.

That it will do X, Y, and Z.

Yep.

To not overcomplicate it, simply looking for policy recommendations on the disposition of property that's city-backed in private hands.

All right.

Now, I believe we have we've gotten actually this will be an up or down vote on the immediate adoption of the ordinance.

If it fails, it goes to committee.

Understood.

All right.

Yes, approves this ordinance is friendly amended.

Uh no, uh, would get it to committee.

Clerk call the roll.

Girls.

Boo.

Duncan.

O'Neal.

Willie.

French.

Aye.

Rogers.

Patterson has Robinson.

Roya.

Bunch.

Lucas.

Aye.

Twelve eyes, one day.

The ordinance passes.

Uh, I will have this relates to the housing trust fund item.

An earlier discussion, uh, we talked about how that ordinance hasn't been introduced.

I will always ask this for staff.

I understand the housing trust fund board voted and approved on recommendations last Monday.

Um, we are about 10 days on.

We may just need to see an ordinance a little faster.

So that's the only reason we bring this today in connection with it.

So I would either ask someone else or uh this is well, this is just a request that the clerk read, receive, and dock it and an item too late to be on today's docket.

Yes, sir.

That number is gonna be two six zero through uh six three four, except a recommendation of the housing trust fund board reducing existing appropriation by sixteen million four hundred and seventy thousand, eight hundred and seventy-six dollars and appropriating the same for previously appropriate fund balance and the housing trust fund, authorizing manager procurement service to execute various funding agreements in accordance with the ordinance and authorizing director of housing community development department to expend up to that amount from funds appropriating housing trust funds refer to the neighborhood planning and development committee.

Uh I have uh uh one item for extra business.

This weekend we play our last World Cup match, and after the World Cup concludes, we will hear lots of great things about the region.

I'm gonna talk about everything that Kansas City, Missouri did.

Not everything, but a lot.

There was one jurisdiction that guaranteed this entire thing.

When others were talking about who knows what, will it happen, all of that?

It wasn't in a state capital, it wasn't in another city council chamber, it wasn't at a county legislative office anywhere.

So when people do talk about regionalism, that's great.

Love everybody's support.

We stuck our necks out on the line every step of this process.

I commend uh this city for that.

I want to commend the city manager, the city attorney, their predecessors, and everyone who's worked on it with a particular shout out to a few, including Nelson Munoz, uh, who has done outstanding work for this since the 20 teens, in connection with negotiating with a very challenging party, uh, with the greatest respect, uh, and many others in connection with it.

So I want to give them that credit.

I will also note in connection with being the guarantors, we were the first money in.

And so a whole bunch of other stuff came on, and all of that at times when we had, as we've talked about, Councilman Robinson and Boo and Bunch and all of us who've been together for a while, very difficult trade-offs to make at difficult times.

And we were the jurisdiction that said we think this is worthwhile and have built something I think that the relief region will remember for some time, and usually take all the flak relating to it as well.

So thank you to City Council and the people of Kansas City, Missouri.

I hope we all get a chance to enjoy it this weekend, and we get to move on to the next exciting thing.

That's my soapbox.

Councilman Willis is going to agree with me.

I'm going to get that cut.

Never mind, break that.

I'm uh well, I'll sit down.

Um, I want to honor um uh Kennedy legend who passed away.

He was a Bishop Spencer resident, Larry McMullen.

Um, he has been a great mentor of mine, and also to our former mayor uh Sly James and a great guy who's led some of the biggest campaigns here regionally.

He helped get that um St.

Luke's Healthcare Center that was passed on uh Southwest Boulevard.

He is an absolute legend, um, great great Missourian, great Kansas City, and uh he's someone that um I know is watching over us and is rooting for us.

Thank you so much for that.

Real quick, because you reminded me, Pastor Henderson Bell recently passed away, Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church.

Uh, exceptional pastor, community, key to a lot of our improvements on 22nd Street throughout the third district, great community mentor for many.

So, thank you uh for reminding us.

Everybody, enjoy your weekend.
