SUMMARY:SKCA November 2025 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPlease join us to hear directly from KCMO Mayor Quinton Lucas who is speaking about his newest initiatives to stimulate economic growth\, improve public safety and strengthen our neighborhoods and how these initiatives will benefit south Kansas City at our South Kansas City Alliance public meeting at 6 p.m. Monday\, November 10\, in the front building of the South Patrol Police Campus\, 9701 Marion Park Dr. \nMayor Lucas will respond to questions and comments from the audience and will welcome suggestions on how city services can continue to be improved citywide and in our area. \nJackson County Legislature Vice Chair Donna Peyton will speak about the immediate steps Jackson County is taking to transition from an appointed to an elected county assessor to be in charge of the reassessments of county residents’ homes and businesses which have a direct impact on property taxes following the overwhelming voter approval November 4 of an amendment to the county charter to make the county assessor an elected position directly accountable to the voters following a lengthy controversy over steeply rising reassessments of many homes and small businesses. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nVoting members of the SKCA will vote on reelecting volunteer members of the SKCA Board whose two-year terms are expiring.
