INTRODUCED BY Manuel Abarca IV, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC), is seeking constructing a new Healthcare Delivery and Innovation building at a cost of $120,000,000.00 at the corner of 25th & Charlotte in the Kansas City, Missouri, on the Health Sciences District (HSD) Campus; and,
WHEREAS, University Health (UH) is requesting $22,000,000.00 to go toward a building the would house several hundred non-clinical employees who are presently located in office buildings throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area; and,
WHEREAS, University Health desires to build two floors of office space in the new UMKC Healthcare Delivery and Innovation building to allow UH to move its employees back to the HSD campus; and,
WHEREAS, consolidating employees back on campus and selling buildings or exiting leases on these other facilities outside of the HSD creates long-term operational savings for the hospital system and brings density to the growing Health Sciences District, creating substantial operational savings can then be invested back into patient care; and,
WHEREAS, preliminary allocations for the Healthcare Delivery and Innovation building will allow design to commence on necessary construction and allow for a future construction price and contract to be approved for award by the County Legislature at a later date; and,
WHEREAS, an appropriation is necessary to place the funds needed for these items and services in the proper spending accounts; now therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the following appropriation from the undesignated fund balance of the 2023 General Fund be and hereby is made:
