Just in case you have lost track, when did this whole monument thing begin?
BOA minutes
November 5, 2008
"Mayor Communication to the Board
Barry Rd update-Meetings are on going at this time. KCMO will allocate
$50,000.00 for monument replacement"
January 6th, 2009
Blog notes
."Alderman DeJong predicts Entrance Monument construction could start as early as October."
Since then it has been the BOA approving bill payments, usually without discussion for EAGC expenditures. Alderman Finn has been the only one, on occasion, to ask questions. The 19 member super committee appointed by Jerry and confirmed by the BOA has met infrequently. The power group has been the "Infrastructure Sub-Committee", driven mainly by Bos, Alderman DeJong, and Jim Miller. Their meetings/discussions have been mainly out of the public eye and EAGC for that matter.
Three years later? Another round of failed RFPs and half of the money KCMO gave to the City gone. No monument at Eastside and Barry and no definitive plans to do so. Where is all the money promised and pledged? How confident would you be for this crew to manage your "donation"?
Tomorrow, the folly continues. The bid results, read em and weep.
