An Ordinance approving Amendment No. 3 to the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, as adopted by Ordinances 10400, 10401, and 10402, by amending the authorized expenditures for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
Key Issues:
-Airport is requesting to add part-time staff time of 0.5 FTE Airport Service Attendant and 1.2 FTE fo Airport Attendant, mainly to provide coverage and service at Hanger 2, increase spend authority $81,274
-Correction of pay rates for the mayor, council members, and municipal judges. Additional spending authority needs to be added to the Administration, $49,306, and Municipal Courts, $26,814, cost centers. The budget for the Finance department will be reduced to cover the increase so there is no increase to the overall general fund budget
-Correction of the FTE allotments per Airport Attendant position to reflect the needed spending authority based on the actual hours being worked by staff, increase spend authority $64,000
-Capital Improvement Plan project budget amendment, closing the Little Blue project and reallocating the funding to a project for a I-470 Study, no increase to the planned FY27 budget for Capital Projects
-To address needed updates to the AV Equipment in the Police department conference rooms, they are requesting to use $156,976 of asset forfeiture money. The money will be transferred from the General Fund to the Public Safety Equipment Replacement fund and the spending authority increased for the PSERP fund
-The Police are requesting to use $7,819 of the Opiate Settlement money to purchase a telehealth system, computer and stand. The money will be transferred from the Grants and Settlements fund to the Public Safety Equipment Replacement fund and the spending authority increased for the PSERP fund
-An increase of $34,477 in spending authority to the Public Safety Sales Tax fund is needed to pay for the repair of the communications equipment on the Scherer water tower. This was originally included in budget amendment No. 4 in the FY26 fiscal year.
