WHEREAS, by Resolution 17410, dated November 8, 2010, the Legislature did authorize the acquisition from the City of Independence, property located at 315 N. Main St., Independence, MO, for use as program space for an anti-drug program for at-risk youths; and,
WHEREAS, the Prosecuting Attorney, who formerly managed the eastern Jackson County MyArts program at this location, has advised that she no longer intends to continue this program; and,
