More BOA

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the Board of Aldermen

Mayor meets with KCMO...continuing discussions regarding the Cooperative Agreement which have been ongoing for the past year and a half. (This should be some indication of what it in store for the BRB...between bureaucrats and lawyers little progress has been made).

Discussion regarding a Nuisance Ordinance. The Mayor and BOA are looking for your feedback on nuisances in the city...hmm, having a hard time keeping a straight face. A few Boards ago grass height was the topic for this discussion. City Hall is looking for volunteers to weigh in on nuisances...this is your chance to get involved...just don't be a nuisance.

Apparently there is a "groundswell of interest" in constructing new entrance monuments to the City. The Mayor said the prospective project is "bigger than a breadbasket" and will be "expensive" How expensive? No figures mentioned, but numbers bouncing around rumor control certainly seem pricey. Will be interesting to see how the groundswell handles this one. A City bank account is being opened to support the project. More to follow.

Mayor Bos is "turning up the heat" on Sonoma Ridge a "stern letter" will be/has been sent. Added to the collection of previous stern letters sent, I am sure the cc file at City Hall is impressive. A number of ordinances are in place to hammer the paper holder...wonder why we just don't smack them rather than fry them?

Alderman Finn(fondly called the Trash Lady by insiders) reported on delays to the delivery of the recycling rolloffs. Patience, soon we'll be off in running. In the meantime, crush those cans and containers so when the day arrives we have more room in the bin.

One more item for this post. The Eleemenosynary Society submitted their annual request for free use of the Community Center. (Background...for a number of years they have been granted free access to the CC by the BOA) It was pointed out during last year's request the group was granted one last free pass and henceforth would have to pay a fee, according to the soon to be posted updated CC fee schedule. Guess they (the Society) forgot. As readers of the blog know, the days of free use are over at the CC. A motion to support their request was not made.
