WHEREAS, by Resolution 20816, dated November 16, 2021, the Legislature did authorize the execution of a five-year lease agreement with EL, LLC, of Blue Springs, MO, to lease office space for use by the Jackson County Drug Task Force; and,
WHEREAS, the Jackson County Drug Task Force has searched for a property with the same characteristics as the current site and has not found one that fulfills the necessary requirements for its use; and,
