It's the time of the season for another exercise in public relations as Kansas City continues to go broke.
The second annual Citywide Business Plan serves as the overall road map for funding the City’s priorities during the next five fiscal years ending April 30, 2015-2020.
This invite gives residents a chance to weigh in, one AWESOME TKC TIPSTER tells us . . . "The only place they need to go is home."
Take a look:
Tell the City Council where to go… over the next five years
Residents are asked to participate in work session
Here's the problem: The City of Kansas City, Missouri, has a limited amount of money to spend.
Want to be part of the solution? For the first time, City Council members and the City's budget staff are inviting residents to provide input on a new five-year business plan. The input will also help shape the next annual budget.
Residents are invited to participate in an innovative Citizen Work Session. They will hear a presentation on budget information and data from citizen satisfaction surveys about resident priorities. Then they'll move to breakout groups for discussion. Participants are asked to commit to the entire two hour work session.
"It just makes sense to create a long-term business plan that can then help guide the annual City budget," Councilwoman Jan Marcason said, "We are seeking resident input on high level prioritizing, not line item debates."
The input gathered will be used to finalize the five-year Citywide Business Plan, which must be adopted by Nov. 1.
Two identical citizen work sessions are scheduled:
Wednesday, Oct. 1, 6-8 p.m.
Park Hill School District Administration Building
7703 N.W. Barry Rd., Room 230
Saturday Oct. 11, 9-11 a.m.
Southeast Community Center
4201 E.63 St.
Reservations are required to reserve a seat (54 seats available) at a citizen work session table. Please respond to susan.borge@kcmo.org or 816-513-6517 by Sept. 29. Additional space will be available for those who wish to attend as observers.
To read the Citywide Business Plan which was submitted for council debate, visit the kcmo.gov home page.
Residents also may provide input at www.kcmomentum.com, the city's virtual town hall website, starting October 1.

The best bet for business is to move out of Kansas City until the e-tax is repealed.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Then we could have higher overall taxes like Kansas and use most of it subsidizing bazillionaires and strip mall developments in cornfields!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
We need to get the magical mystical streetcar up and running. Then there'll be manna from heaven. Just ask Mensa boy.
ReplyDeleteKeep trying, kid.
DeleteYou still owe the voters an imaginary free bus plan that goes everywhere.
Nobody has forgotten. Pay Touhey lied to you.
Grown ups are talking, son, you need to go back to the basement and check your youporn channels for updates.
Tell the City Council where to go…
ReplyDeleteI say tell them to go to hell and take Sly with them.
2016 e- tax gone
ReplyDeleteI'm a KCMO employee and I hope you ignorant folks keep voting for new taxes.
ReplyDeleteE tax passed by 78%-22% you fucking dipshit. It's the most popular tax ever.
ReplyDeleteBecause it woks.
In the end for the next five years KC will underfund pensions, neglect the infrastructure, dole out huge tax breaks to business, increase traffic fines for suburban drivers and trot out a few more huge ideas doomed to failure. There, no need for the meeting, its all been taken care of.
ReplyDeleteSince moving to the burbs I just don't see a need for Kansas City proper. Shopping is a pain in the ass, entertainment is even worse, going to a game lands you with a quick 300.00 tab and checking in like it was an airport. I sometimes have to drive through a part of KC to get to Johnson County where I spend some of my money. The only trick is getting through KC without having your pockets picked by the local hustlers or the city. KC is not getting better,. It is much worse than it was when I came here decades ago. Just shut the damn mess down and lets admit KC just isn't that significant.
