City Hall: ordinances being heard Jan7th

There are two ordinances being heard tomorrow. CCO organizers will be present, however we would like for you to be there, especially ordinance 081277 being heard at 3:00pm.


True Vine Missionary Baptist Church had an action on December 11th and requested lender licensing be supported and Councilwoman Cindy Circo and City Staff rep David Parks both agreed to support an ordinance that would Stop the Blight. We requested that elected officials should require in the early process of foreclosures that Lenders register their property. We believe this will give the consumer time to modify their loan and it notifies the city of information needed to ensure the property is maintained while owned by the lender. Lender registration is needed just like landlord registration is needed.


The other ordinance being heard Jan.7th at 8:15am will be designating approximately $75,000.00 to hire community organizers and $75,000.00 to hire a consultant to look at economic development in Kansas City ’s most distressed areas.
