MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Rose reported that the Greater Kansas City Chamber has
notified her of their regional trip to Nashville September 22-24 this
year and have offered a $1,000 dollar grant towards the $3,000
registration. The Board gave general consensus approving the
Mayor Rose to go on the trip. The Northland Chamber's DC Trip
is set for September 9-11 and the two that were attending last
year before the trip was cancelled, may think about trying to go
again this year. We attended the joint luncheon with Platte
County EDC, Clay County EDC and Northland Chamber
Legislative wrap-up. Our own Mike Duffy was the master of
ceremonies and did a great job. It was a good luncheon meeting.
The Home Dock Cities and hiring of the Lobbyist was money
spent that turned out very positive. He is working to get a report
out to the cities that participated along with a strategy for next year
because it is very likely VLTs will be back.
There is a Meet & Greet at Argosy on May 30th and we are
partnering with the Fairfax district as well. This is at the Lucky
Taco at Argosy from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. City Planner Sarah Wagner
said that it is a networking event and all the Board and staff are
invited to attend and meet the business owners.
Summer Kick Off was last weekend. Lori Boji and her team did a
fabulous job. I met many new residents, it was all set up inside,
and was a wonderful event.
June 15th is Loud and Local event by the Riverside Chamber.
I want to point out and bring to the Board's attention that there
were some misrepresentations on social media last week
particularly regarding me. The first topic was about the lack of
wildlife in Indian Hills. I am sure with Palisades being built up
there, that has moved them at least temporarily. The City does not
have anything to do with making the wildlife disappear. The Levee
District discussed something at one time but again, it was not the
City. Another issue that was misrepresented and taken
completely out of context, was that I am in favor of HOAs, I only
mentioned them was in conversation with residents in Indian Hills
and challenges they were facing with some of their neighbors, so I
mentioned they could form one and take some type of control of
some of those concerns. That conversation got turned around
that I was demanding they form an HOA. Here again, the city
does not mandate any HOAs. The third misrepresentation made
was about the Mayor's agenda for incentives and that my agenda
is to give away City money. At the end of the day, the six of you
Board of Aldermen are the voting power here and I have visions
and goals and you all have the vote. I wanted clarify all those
issues.
