Highlights to include:
- Swearing in of Ed Bossert, newly elected East side alderman
- Removing of meter fee
- Sewer rate increase
- Paving contract to be awarded
- Possibly a Park Board report
- Farewell to Pat White, outgoing East side alderman
- and much more
What you won't see tonight is an increase in your water bill. The Mayor and BOA inexplicably have decided not to pass along the water rate increase from KCMO, effective May 1. The City is going to eat (maybe drink is better) the increase. Of course, the "City" is you and me. Rather than build equity in the water fund for future improvements and repairs they are choosing to spend down the fund. Oh well.
Mary may introduce her PBTF (Pay By The Flush) concept for calculation of your sewer bill. Seems some snowbirds have been pushing her to change the way sewer bills are calculated, apparently they feel it's not fair to pay sewer while they are vacationing in FL/TX/AZ. Also rumored she is working on a recalculation of property taxes, same issue the snowbirds don't want to have to pay for services they don't use while gone. I assume the levy on the Parks is next, after all, they're not swinging here 365...well, that's the topic of another post.
