ALL RIGHT.WELCOME TO THE 23RD REGULAR MEETING OF THE JACKSON COUNTY LEGISLATURE.
IT'S WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24TH, 2026 AT 9:00 AM AND WE ARE IN THE JACKSON COUNTY COURTHOUSE, KC LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY AREA.
MADAM CLERK, IF YOU'LL PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
I WILL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND FOLKS THAT, UH, WE'RE SINGING TO THE CHOIR HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL PRESENT, THAT ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE END OF OUR TERM, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO APPEAR BEFORE EVERY MEETING, UM, TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE REPRESENTING TAXPAYERS THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
IT'S THE END OF SOME LEGISLATORS TERMS. NO, I'M KIDDING.
'CAUSE IT IS THE END OF THIS TERM FOR ALL IT, IT'S THE END OF THIS TERM.
I'M JUST MAKING SURE THE WORDS WE PUT OUT THERE AND THE RE THE REALITY OF THOSE WHO ARE MISSING IS NOT A, UM, ANOMALY.
SO, UM, WE WILL MARK THESE ALL AS UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.
IF THINGS HAVE CHANGED, WE'LL COME BACK AS A REMINDER.
AFTER FOUR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES, THE REMAINDER OF THE BODY CAN TAKE ACTION UPON THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
SO I'LL BE ISSUING A NEW POLICY ABOUT WHO CAN MISS FOR WHAT REASON AND WHY.
AND WE'LL ALSO BE CHANGING THE POLICY AS IT PERTAINS TO WHO CAN SHOW UP AND LEAVE.
AND WHETHER THAT'S GONNA BE COUNTED AS AN EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED ABSENCE.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE STAY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE AGENDA.
SO WITH THAT SAID, I GUESS WE'LL ADJOURN.
