Charlie Franklin, County Legislator, said this is exciting and this is quite a
project. He wants to be comfortable with the logistics and the finances of
such a move. The Budget Committee will have a public hearing on the
use of these funds from the undesignated fund balance on Monday,
March 21, 2022, at 9:20 a.m. in the Legislative Assembly Area, 415 E.
12th Street, 2nd Floor, Kansas City, MO.
Ronald E. Finley, County Legislator, requested additional information
regarding departmental needs for space as part of this move and the
utilization of the Downtown Courthouse. Frank White, Jr., County
Executive, said they will present all of the required information next
Monday.
Jalen Anderson, County Legislator, asked about the financial roadmap as
they move forward and how the costs will affect the budget.
Crystal Williams, County Legislator, asked why this ordinance was not
assigned to Legislature as a Whole. Charlie Franklin responded because
it deals with the undesignated fund balance. He said he expects there to
be a full discussion with all members having the opportunity to give input.
He does not expect this item to be held up in committee.
