The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
Dec 7Image via Wikipedia
While some are intent on raising money for monuments, the City is coming up a bit short when it comes to roads. George has identified the need for 39 road "patches" throughout the City, particularly on 76th Terr, 77th, 75th and 75th Terr. Estimate for the repairs? $100,000. The repairs are not part of the much ballyhooed Long Range Street Plan (author, alderman Vic), see attachment #3 http://www.cityofweatherbylake-mo.gov/UltimateEditorInclude/UserFiles/Common/Document/Five_Year_Road_Plan_12-17-2009_111903.pdfRevenue from the road sales tax, according to Jerry, is around $7,000 per month. This would mean wiping out about 15 months of tax revenue. In the meantime, no overlays are planned for 2011 (Check the Road Plan...a disconnect?). Maybe it is a typo, but the Road Plan has Potomac as being paved in 1990. We moved here in July of 99 and Potomac was paved after we arrived. If you look at a road like Potomac, which had cracks sealed (finally) this year, it is hard to imagine the road life being 20 years...as assumed in the Plan. No mention of the road discussion in Mary's meeting notes.

Maybe Jerry is distracted.

I can't believe the AVERAGE hole is $2500 to PATCH??? That just seem a bit high for a hole. Maybe I'm wrong as I obviously know nothing about the cost of cement, filler, etc, whatever goes in there. I do know we replaced our ENTIRE driveway for $5000 and that included digging up and removing the old one and then installing new grates to avoid the flooding garage syndrome
Run for Mayor
Apparently you have a knack to get er done cheaper
And maybe you can get our monuments rebuit for what KCMO gave us .
If not take them to court No body else has the guts
Also why doesnt anyone admit we need to put an end to this misguided entrance initiative that is a foolish blunder
Truly think this whole sign thing is Bos wanting to add class to the lake so the more rich and famous can look good. Majority of lake residents are everyday Joe Blows who were perfectly happy with what we had.
