Jalen Anderson, County Legislator, said he notes that in the Jackson County
Health Department report for the week of May 4 through 11, there were no
deaths from COVID-19 reported for the first time in about two and a half
years. This is from the hard work of the Health Department and the efforts of
the Administration to get people vaccinated and tested. He applauded these
positive results.
Second, Mr. Anderson requested that Troy Schulte, County Administrator,
provide an itemized plan explaining the path forward for the County
Improvement Fund for the next five to 10 years.
Third, Mr. Anderson said there was a story yesterday in the Kansas City Star
about a downtown baseball stadium. The article stated that Jackson County
officials, the Kansas City Public School Board and Congressman Cleaver
said they would like to see the downtown stadium located at 18th and Vine.
Mr. Anderson requested that Troy Schulte and the Administration report to
the Legislature regarding who made those statements on behalf of Jackson
County and when this discussion regarding a downtown stadium will come
before the Legislature.
Tony Miller, County Legislator, said he remains steadfast in the need to
move the jail project forward with consensus of the Legislature. He believes
there is still more work to be done to reach an agreement.
Ronald E. Finley, County Legislator, said he appreciates the cooperation on
the adoption of the food assistance resolution. He hopes the request for
proposals will be sent out soon.
Jay Haden, Chief Deputy County Counselor, said he will be out of town next
