It's Good

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
August 2nd

Jerry gave an update on the Entrance Advisory Group Committee.  Drawings are being finished.  Once they are complete the full Committee and "big donors" will meet and give the "it's good" go ahead to send recommendation to the BOA.

The Rest of the Story
An email with the draft minutes of the "Infrastructure Committee Meeting" held 13 July is making its way around the net.  Interesting reading, attendees included, Jim Miller, Ray Stockwell, Vic DeJong, Ron Surma, George Lowman, Jerry Bos, Lyle Phillips, Marge Stockwell, Kristopher Dabner, Kristy Lawrence.

Total Cash Collected:
$58, 545.34 ($50,000 from KCMO)

Total Expenses:
$16,903

Total Signed Pledges:
$272,995.34

Some excerpts from the email:

  • "we may be able to obtain as much as $185,700 to begin the project"
  • "Jim felt that this may be enough to fund two entrances, Eastside/City Hall and Hillside Drive
  • "Funds received from Kansas City, Missouri to replace our Barry Road monuments will be applied to the now completed Hillside entrance."
More to follow.

You have got to be kidding me, Hillside? What a joke.

Does this mean there will be one on both Hillside and Potomac? If so then we can expect one on both Forest and Eastside, correct? Last time I looked on the city website info was very old in this regard.

Hillside is not even mentioned on the city website. Eastside at Barry isn't either. WTF?
