The Oracle Speaks About Ward Three

The Oracle of Shawnee is located at Gum Springs Park.  Unfortunately it is not as historically rich as the Oracle at Delphi that the ancient Greeks had.

Well, I visited the Oracle of Shawnee and inquired as to whom the Oracle feels will fill the soon to be vacated council seat of Dawn Kuhn.

The Oracle responded:

From the west of Shawnee
In the Land of Three
From the House of Meyer, a woman, known as Stephanie.

There you have it folks.  The Oracle's prediction.

Tax Incentives for Development. What Does USD 232 Really Think?

At the 8/12/13 council meeting, tax incentives were passed for the development of a townhome complex in western Shawnee.

The president of the USD 232 Board of Education spoke out against it, as a private citizen living in the area.

As the meeting progressed, there apparently was a question about whether the school district supported the plan or not.  Mitch Powers, the BOE president indicated that they didn't, while an attorney for the developer said that they did.

So, what is the truth about this?  Read the article in the Pitch, and the comments that their reporter quotes from the USD spokesperson.  I get the impression that the USD is not thrilled with the tax incentives and their corresponding effect on the district.

Mayor Says "NO" to Public Input

Shawnee Mayor Jeff Meyers has responded to my email from the post immediately below.

When the October 28th Special Council Meeting is called to appoint a successor to Dawn Kuhn there will be NO public input permitted.

Specifically, this was the mayor's response:

*************************************

Ray,

There will not be public input. I believe the Council will have the best and most information with the process to make a decision for the appointment. As you know, residents may always contact their representatives to give comment about individuals who apply.

Jeff
*************************************

 

Since this meeting is just about 8 weeks away, and there are no names posted yet as applying, folks still have plenty of time to inform the mayor and council how they feel about this decision.

Will The Mayor Permit Public Input?

The city has now published the info as to the procedures for filling the soon to be vacated council set of Dawn Kuhn.  See http://www.cityofshawnee.org

As a result of what has happened/not happened at previous meetings related to the appointment of council persons I have written Mayor Jeff Meyers and asked a very simple direct question.  Am curious as to what his response will be.

Here is the letter:


Jeff,

 The following info is from the city’s web site concerning the above subject:

• On October 28, 2013, each applicant will be asked to give a 3 minute statement explaining why they are interested in serving as the Ward III Council Member. Following their statement, applicants will be asked to respond to questions from Governing Body members.
• The order of statements will be determined by random draw.
• Immediately following all the statements, the Governing Body will have any discussion they deem appropriate. The Governing Body may vote on the appointment at this time, or may delay taking action.
• If an appointment is approved, the individual selected will be sworn into office at that time.

At the meeting which appointed Mr. Neighbor to the council, public input was allowed.
At the meeting which appointed Mr. Willoughby to the council, public input was not allowed.
Will public input be allowed at the meeting on October 28^th?

 Ray

Something I Won't Miss When Dawn Kuhn Goes Bye-bye

Many articles about body language say that when a woman constantly flips her hair it means “look at me, I’m great”.  Well, that’s one thing I’m not going to miss when Dawn Kuhn goes bye-bye.

 

 

The city has posted the application process for picking her replacement, so now I'll definitely have to visit the Oracle of Shawnee at Gum Springs Park to see what the Oracle says about Kuhn's replacement.

Awards, A New Hotel (finally) and Kuhn Resigns

Well, let's see what happened last night.  There were many things that came up, but let's hit some of the highlights.

First, congrats to Battalion Chief Ryan Pyle who received recognition for successfully completing FEMA's US Fire Administration's National Fire Academy Executive Fire Officer program (EFO) and has also been designated as a Chief Fire Officer (CFO through the Center for Public Safety Excellence.

Some of you might remember from a previous posting here that while I was on vacation a tossed cigarette started a fire on my balcony.  The crew that responded,was under Chief Pyle's supervision and they were able to contain the fire to the balcony with no structural or interior damage. 

Another item that came up last night was the issuance of industrial revenue bonds for the proposed Holiday Inn Express at Midland Drive and I-435.  This project has been in limbo for about 6 years and it's nice to know that it is finally getting closer to happening.

Then, Councilmember Dan Pflumm did a shout out for my 66th birthday, which was yesterday.  Thanks Dan.

To top it off, I got one of the best birthday presents ever.  Councilmember Dawn "Motormouth" Kuhn announced her resignation last night, effective at the end of the October 14th council meeting.  That should reduce substantially the length of many council and council committee meetings.  She claims that it is because she is passionate about things.  I say it is because she is self absorbed and likes to hear herself talk.  Even though the process for submitting applications hasn't been posted yet, I might just have to go to the Oracle of Shawnee at Gum Springs Park to see if the oracle has any thoughts about who might wind up getting appointed to replace Kuhn.

Jim Neigbor Incapable of a Direct Reply

Please see and read my blog post of 8/12/13 (almost two weeks) at http://shawneeray.blogspot.com/2013/08/public-meeting-policy-review-city.html which is titled Public Meeting Policy Review-City Stonewalls Reply.

This is NOT the first time that Councilmember Neighbor has refused a direct response to a direct question.  And, it probably will not be his last.  It seems that if certain members of the governing body do not want to answer a question they just ignore it. 

They don't like being questioned at council meetings, and then they either dance around or ignore answering questions directly.  In this case, who is pulling Neighbor's strings?

Come next year this might get real interesting.  City Manager Gonzales has gotten approval to spend $70K for a public information officer.  Now will we be paying $70K of taxpayer money to get the run around from that individual?

Neighbor is not the only one who has refused direct answers to direct questions..............the list grows.

New Museum May Close

Back in February the Shawnee Dispatch ran an article about the new Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum located in western Shawnee in the former Harley Davidson dealership.

The article is quite interesting and can be read here http://www.shawneedispatch.com/news/2013/feb/26/new-medical-museum-opens/

It has now come to my attention that the museum may close because of its inability to obtain a tax exemption.  I'm not familiar with this subject, but I thought that museums did get special consideration with regards to taxes.

Anybody want to jump on this and check it out?  You could check with Dr. Bruce Hodges and/or his wife Cathy at the museum, 6801 Hedge Lane Terrace, telephone 913-888-0777.  BTW, that's  near the southwest corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Kansas Highway 7.

Public Meeting Policy Review-City Stonewalls Reply

First, let me apologize up front for the length of this post.  It is lengthy because I want to quote some items completely:

For some background, one might want to read this article in the Shawnee Dispatch http://www.shawneedispatch.com/news/2013/aug/10/kendall-what-shawnees-public-meeting-policy-review/
On Wed, 8/7/13 I emailed Councilmember Neighbor since he is the current council president and as such serves as chairman of the council committee:

From: Ray Erlichman
Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2013 5:30 PM
To: Jim Neighbor
Subject: Public comments at Committee meetings

 

Jim,

 The below is taken from the brochure that is handed out to the public concerning meetings.

 Please reply as to why do you not ask for public comments?  I believe some folks might have had comments last night.

 Going forward it would be nice if you complied with the info in this brochure.

 Ray

 City Council Committees

Much of the actual work of the Governing

Body is done in the Council Committee.
The Council Committee Meetings are
held on the first Tuesday following the first
Monday of the month and begin at 7:00 p.m.
Additional meetings can be called by the

Council Committee.

The Council President serves as chair of the

Council Committee. The Vice Chair of the
Council Committee and Council President are
elected on by the Governing Body annually at
the first City Council Meeting in April.
Agendas for these meetings are generally
available at City Hall from the City Manager’s
office at (913) 742-6014 or on the City website
at www.cityofshawnee.org by 8:00 a.m. on the
Friday preceding the meetings.
Committee meetings are generally less
formal than council meetings and discussion
is generally more comprehensive. The
chairperson of the committee will invite
comments on an agenda item from speakers in
the audience. The committees do not take final
action on a topic they discuss; however, they
forward their recommendations to a regular
City Council meeting for formal action by the
entire Governing Body. The Committee does
not entertain comments from the public on
items that are not on the meeting agenda.

 

I then followed that up with an item of additional information:

 

 

Jim

 Just in case you feel that the info in the brochure is not sufficient, the following is extracted from PS-7

 Order of Business, Point of Order, Obtaining the Floor, Public Comment

 D.        No interested person in attendance shall speak more than twice to any question, nor more than five (5) minutes each time, except where such other limitations may be imposed by action of the Governing Body, or the Council Committee, prior to hearing such questions.

 

Ray

 

This is the reply I received:

 

 

Ray, thanks for your comments. As I mentioned in my opening comments Tuesday night, the PS-7 will be discussed at a future committee meeting.

 

I expect that staff will have a revised draft ready by the October or November Committee meeting.  This will be the opportunity for more committee discussion, and public input before the final version is forwarded to  the Council for approval.

 

Jim Neighbor

 Well, I remember when  Mayor Jeff Meyers once said if I didn't get an answer I liked I'd ask the question again.  Well, it's not an answer I don't like, it's the stonewalling and the non-answers that bother me.  The bovine scatological attempt at not responding to a direct question. 

 My reply yesterday:

Jim,

I noticed that you have failed to reply to my original email, not the “part II” below

I still would like to know why public input was not asked for last Tuesday night, as indicated in the brochure handed out by the city with regards to meetings.  I will again quote from that brochure

“The chairperson of the committee will invite

comments on an agenda item from speakers in the audience.”

Saying that it will be discussed at a future meeting is insufficient.  There were no limitations imposed by the committee.  It seems that your actions were arbitrary and capricious.

 

Again, I asked a specific question, and expect a specific reply, not a dance around.  It was an agenda item and comments were NOT asked for.  Did you ever give any thought to the idea that maybe, just maybe, citizen input might have been helpful towards the staff preparing a draft? And that could actually result in reduced staff time in that preparation?  Or maybe you feel that citizens don’t have the ability to suggest workable solutions to various situations.

Thank you

Ray

Shawnee Government - Open or Closed

On next Tues, 8/6/13 at city hall, the council committee will have their regularly scheduled meeting at 7:00PM.

One of the items on the agenda is:

DISCUSS PS-7, CONDUCT AT A PUBLIC MEETING.

PS-7 covers various items.  Among them how the council president is selected, vise-chairman of the committee, AND how input from the public is handled at council meetings.  I'm curious if certain members of the council are going to try and restrict citizen input.  At a council meeting a few weeks ago Jeff Vaught tried to stop a member of the public from coming back to the podium to address some of Vaught's comments.  Since the mayor didn't interject I had to be rude and mention from the audience that the individual was entitled to a second comment period under PS-7.  Ironically, in the next item on the agenda the mayor reiterated that folks are permitted up to two times of no more than 5 minutes on any one subject.  Guess Vaught thinks he runs the council meetings.  Just like he erroneously thought when he was council president that other members of the council had to go through him to request the city manager put items on the agenda.

It will be interesting to see what changes, if any, the council considers making to this policy statement.

The city inquired of other local governments what their policies and procedures are for meetings and the results of those inquiries are available at

Dawn Kuhn/Cheryl Scott.........Another Debacle???

Is the City of Shawnee looking at another Cheryl Scott debacle?

According to the City of Shawnee web site Ward III Councilmember Dawn Kuhn has listed an address as 5304 Millbrook St as her residence.  Before anyone complains about privacy violations, the residence address of ALL elected officials has to be public information to verify their eligibility for their office.

That address appeared as a change from 5329 Gleason after her divorce.  That makes sense.  But, does she really live there, or is that simply a "mail drop" or "convenience" address?  (Remember when Phill Kline was appointed JoCo DA?  He was living in Topeka as Attorney General, and then when he became JoCo DA he wound up with an apartment in JoCo.  Except his wife/kids still lived in Topeka and he was constantly driving back and forth).

Anyway, back to Kuhn.  Unfortunately, Kansas law, as written, does make it easy for someone to establish residency at one address, even though they actually reside elsewhere.  When someone does that though, are they being fair to their constituents?  Anyway, does Kuhn actually live on Millbrook?

Now, let's move forward a couple of months.  It is my understanding that she has announced her engagement and is getting remarried in January.  Her fiancé owns a home in Ward IV.  Once the nuptials are over is she going to resign her Ward III seat, or, is she going to claim that she still "lives" on Millbrook?

Time will tell.  I might have to consult with the Oracle at Shawnee at Gum Springs Park for a more definitive answer.

Another Visit to the Oracle at Shawnee

On 7/19 I posted about my trip to the Oracle at Shawnee.  At that time I asked the Oracle for information about who might be getting the job of PIO in Shawnee. 

Remember, the ancient Greeks had their Oracle at Delphi, located in the Temple of Apollo. We have our Oracle at Shawnee located in Gum Springs Park.  It is from the slides of the play area that we get our visions into the future.

I recently paid another visit to the Oracle and made another inquiry.

The Oracle was asked:  "Oh great and wise Oracle do you see anything more about who will become the Public Information Officer in Shawnee?

The Oracle responded:  "The answer is in the wind, and one must look to the sky for the Sigma Pi"

Will Shawnee Follow Olathe?

Reference is made to the post below about whether the mayor of Shawnee is planting the seed for a tax increase.

Recently, the City of Olathe made an announcement of what might be happening in their city, because of street repairs/upgrades being back burnered for so long.

I will quote Olathe's comments here, but should someone want to verify that these are the city's comments, and NOT a blogger's opinion, please go here:  http://www.olatheks.org/news/2013/07/10/council-consider-addressing-street-maintenance-funding-shortfall

Posted: July 10, 2013, 01:28:11 PM

Olathe City Manager Michael Wilkes discussed the current Olathe street funding challenge with the City Council on Tuesday and outlined why it should be addressed sooner rather than later.  Wilkes said, “The bottom line is if we don’t begin funding our street maintenance at a significantly greater level, in 10 years or less our taxpayers will be paying at least 10 to 15 times what is needed today for streets.”  “It is our responsibility to make sure we don’t create that major burden for ourselves and future tax payers if we can avoid it,” he said.

According to City staff, an additional $9.26 million per year (average) is needed to adequately fund street maintenance over the next 10 years.  Without which, the cost of repairing streets will increase exponentially and dramatically.  The City currently maintains over 1,200 lane miles valued at over $1 billion.

Wilkes indicated that the City has been investing as much general (operational) fund cash as it responsibly can in street maintenance despite making significant cuts to other operations over the past several years.  However, he cautioned that diverting enough money to cover the street maintenance shortfall would have unacceptable consequences.  Wilkes said, “Today, we are spending nearly 70% of our general fund money on transportation and public safety because that’s where our tax payers have told us they want it invested.”  He continued, “Much of the remainder of the budget goes to programs (IT, Human Resource, Finance, etc.) that serve in critical support roles, yet those are the areas that have seen the vast majority of cuts. The fact is, we simply cannot divert the revenue needed without seeing services impacted in the areas our residents say are most important.”

Wilkes said staff has been evaluating this issue for several years, and ultimately came to the conclusion that asking voters to consider a sun-setting 10-year, 3/8^th cent sales tax was the most responsible approach.   “The Council has the ability to increase the mil rate, but that rate increase only applies to our property owners, not to all the people using our streets including the many thousands who live outside Olathe,” Wilkes said.  In addition, Wilkes said he believes this is consistent with City Council direction.  “A sales tax would require voter approval, and I know the Council believes this decision would rise to the level where Olathe tax payers should have a direct voice.” 

According to Wilkes, the funding shortfall would be adequately addressed by a combination of the sales tax and the City’s continued commitment to increase general fund cash contributions to the program.  He said, “This issue will not be solved by just passing the sales tax but also by increasing City operational fund commitments and continued belt tightening.”

If approved, Olathe would join the majority of other Kansas City area larger cities that have implemented a sales tax to fully or partially fund street maintenance.  The City Council is expected to decide whether or not to bring a sales tax question to voters by August 6.

Is The Mayor Planting Seed for Tax Increases?

The following was sent out in an email to those who have signed up for the city's email notification system and is also posted on the city's web site at http://www.cityofshawnee.org/WEB/ShawneeCMS.nsf/vwNews/2D13837D6D4B627586257BB1007D5448?OpenDocument

At the July 22, 2013, City Council meeting, the Governing Body approved the City’s 2014 Budget with no planned property tax rate increase.

Mayor Jeff Meyers commented, “I am pleased that the 2014 Budget addresses many of the priorities identified by the 2012 Citizen Satisfaction Survey including street and sidewalk repairs, emergency management, and communicating with our residents. While we are making some progress, we must continue to explore ways to adequately fund street maintenance and programs that are most important to our Shawnee citizens. Current funding sources will not be enough for the future.”

Is the mayor laying the groundwork for future tax increases?  Is too much of the funding received from Deffenbaugh being set aside for economic development and not enough for infrastructure?  Is the city too free with TIF, CID and other "incentives" to the future detriment of the community?

Will People Show Up?

Well, tonight, 7/22/13 is when the city council will hold a public hearing on the city's budget and then vote on it. 

The meeting starts at 7:30PM.

I wonder how many folks read the posted agenda items on the city's web site and how many will show up?

The Oracle at Shawnee

The ancient Greeks had their Oracle at Delphi, located in the Temple of Apollo.

We have our Oracle at Shawnee located in Gum Springs Park.  It is from the slides of the play area that we get our visions into the future.

Last night I inquired of the Oracle, "Oh Oracle, with all your wisdom, will the city get a new position added to city staff, that of Public Information Officer?"

And the Oracle responded, "It is an action that will happen.  The Circle of the Octagon has five points that will do the bidding of the tiny one.  The tiny one wields a sword that turns its masters into mere  vassals and makes the vassal the master."

At that I then asked the Oracle, "Oh Oracle, I beseech thee, and who shall be given this new lofty position?"

To this the Oracle then responded, "I see in the mist a man walking towards a chair so inscribed PIO.  A nice man, and one who is familiar.  One who has occupied another chair in the House of Shawnee, but had left it for another Kingdom.  One who has returned to the House of Shawnee, but to occupy a smaller chair, awaiting the loftier one."

Ghost Writers in Shawnee KS

One of the city manager's arguments to create a public information officer position in the city was to have one person write letters and speeches for the mayor.  Right now she and other members of her office do that.  Gee, the mayor is an educator, coach and mayor.  He can't handle his own?

       Speeches/Letters – every day the mayor gets a letter from some person, sometimes a very interesting letter. We want to respond back. Right now we divvy those out – Avy? does some, I do some, Vickie does some, Candy does some, and it would really be nice to have someone who could manage all those and make sure people get responded-to/communicated-with.

o   Yesterday, the Bayer event, I spent 2 hours of my day drafting the Mayor’s comments for that. He was in a meeting on the Nieman rood corridor, Vickie’s in a human resources meeting. It was fine. It’s what I did. It takes my time to do that too.

o   So, again, it would be really nice to have someone who had the skill set, who had great writing skills, who had the message and story of Shawnee to take on those responsibilities.

Stay tuned for "Shawnee Ray's Crystal Ball"  Going on the premise that the city manager will get the PIO position approved, I'm gonna take a shot at guessing who will get the job.
