Feb 23, 2026 Inter-Governmental Affairs Committee

OH, LORD, HELP US ALL. GOOD AFTERNOON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

[ORDINANCES IN COMMITTEE]

[00:00:03]

TODAY I'M JOINED BY LEGISLATOR HUSKEY, AND I'M GOING TO ASK LEGISLATOR SMITH TO JOIN US TODAY, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE. THANK YOU. SIR. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT OF ORDER TODAY.

[A RESOLUTION authorizing the County Executive to execute an Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement with the City of Independence, Missouri, for the use of certain County property for a civic event, at no cost to the County.]

HELLO, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIRMAN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE, BRIAN GADDIE.

PUBLIC WORKS. AS STATED, RESOLUTION, BEFORE YOU REQUEST PERMISSION FOR THE CITY OF INDEPENDENCE TO UTILIZE COUNTY OWNED PARKING LOT LOCATED AT SOUTHEAST CORNER OF KANSAS AND OSAGE FOR THE CITY'S UPCOMING HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE EVENT.

THIS EVENT IS GOING TO OCCUR ON SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH, AND THE LOT IS PROMISED TO BE RETURNED TO ITS PREVIOUS CONDITION.

AFTER THE EVENT IS CONCLUDED, THE CITY IS GOING TO CARRY A COI FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR TO OUR PROPERTY.

THEY WILL MAKE WHOLE, AND THIS IS AN EVENT THAT WE PARTICIPATE WITH THE CITY OF INDEPENDENCE REGULARLY AND ANTICIPATE DOING SO UPON YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU SIR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, MR. GATTI? ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT? SO MOVED.

SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE.

ALL RIGHT. THIS WILL BE SENT TO THE GENERAL BODY FOR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY, WE'LL GO BACK TO ORDINANCE 6059, AN ORDINANCE SUBMITTING TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF JACKSON COUNTY,

[AN ORDINANCE submitting to the qualified voters of Jackson County, Missouri, at the general election to be held on April 7, 2026, a question to amend the Jackson County Charter, with an effective date.]

A QUESTION TO AMEND THE JACKSON COUNTY CHARTER WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN AMENDMENT. YES, FOR THIS WHITNEY MILLER WITH THE COUNTY COUNSEL'S OFFICE.

THERE IS AN AMENDMENT. AND JIMMY, SEE, IS PRINTING THOSE OFF NOW AND CAN BRING THOSE IN.

BUT THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE LANGUAGE CHANGES THE DATE OF APRIL 7TH, 2026 TO AUGUST 4TH, 2026.

SO IN THE SEVERAL AREAS THAT THE ORDINANCE REFERS TO THE APRIL 7TH DATE, IT WOULD BE AMENDED TO SAY APRIL 4TH, 2026. THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL CHANGES. SO THE ONLY CHANGES CHANGE IT TO AUGUST 4TH.

CORRECT 2026. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? WOULD APPRECIATE IF WE COULD CONSIDER GOING AHEAD AND APPROVING THE AMENDMENT.

UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN WE HAVE A FULLY CONSTITUTED COMMITTEE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER MOVING THINGS FURTHER ALONG AND HAVE MORE DISCUSSION AT THAT POINT. BUT THE REASON IT SAYS APRIL 7TH IS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO INTRODUCE IT IN TIME FOR THAT ELECTION.

WE HAD A MEETING CANCELED, SO WE MISSED THAT WINDOW.

AND SO IF WE COULD AMEND THE DATE, THEN THAT WOULD AT LEAST LET US CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF STARTING A NEW ORDINANCE. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE AMENDMENT FOR ORDINANCE 6059? SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE. OKAY. THE AMENDMENT WILL BE ADDED TO CHANGE THE DATE TO AUGUST 4TH, 2026.

AN ORDINANCE 6059. AND WE WILL HOLD THAT ORDINANCE IN COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO COME BEFORE INTERGOVERNMENTAL? AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
