As usual, TKC IS FIRST to report this ACCELERATED (EMERGENCY) ORDINANCE sending quite a bit of cash toward the airport with very few people paying attention to the big bucks upgrade underway . . .
Checkit:
160537: Authorizing a $6,383,562.00 contract with Julius Kaaz Construction Co., Inc., for the Facilities Shop Complex at KCI Airport; authorizing a maximum expenditure of $7,021,918.00; appropriating $7,021,918.00 from the Unappropriated Fund Balance of the Kansas City Airports Fund; and recognizing this ordinance as having an accelerated effective date.
160538 Authorizing a $1,044,711 Amendment No. 3 with Burns & McDonnell, Inc., for the Facilities Shop Complex at KCI Airport; authorizing a maximum expenditure of $1,149,182; appropriating $1,149,182 from the Unappropriated Fund Balance of the Kansas City Airports Fund; and recognizing this ordinance as having an accelerated effective date.
The very best KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY INSIDERS tell us to keep an eye on these contracts as the start of continued power plays around the airport and a sign that debate about the future of this local institution is far from settled.
Developing . . .
They going to put in Pokemon Go and Portland Style Buritto and T-Shirt dispensers?
ReplyDeleteThis NEW airport will eventually be forced down our throats, just like they did with the empty downtown stadium, the fake light rail, the insane Power & Light District deal with Cordish, 'riverboat' casino gambling, and the jazz district, and countless other corporate giveaways.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get away from it is to physically move away from here.
As predicted. The plan moves forward right under your noses.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Missouri douchebags who don't vote deserve to pay and pay!
ReplyDeleteI have traveled the world extensively and KCI is the easiest airport to get in and out of by miles.
