Commissioner Johnson introduced the telecommunicators resolution and invited dispatch staff forward to accept the recognition. Kim Hunter, communication supervisor, and Tanya Turner, lead dispatcher, spoke briefly at the podium. Commissioner Johnson described the demands of dispatcher work—handling high-stress 911 calls, coordinating units and sometimes giving life-saving instructions by phone—and estimated dispatchers handle between roughly 75,000 and 95,000 calls a year in the county, or about 260 calls per day on the upper end.

The commission also observed National Work Zone Awareness Week, read as Resolution 2025-131, and heard a presentation from Tom Degenhardt, road bridge director. Degenhardt reviewed the week’s events (work-zone safety training day, a national kickoff event, a go-orange day and a moment of silence for work-zone fatalities) and urged motorists to “respect the zone.” The administrator cited Missouri Department of Transportation figures for the state: 17 work-zone fatalities and 2,077 work-zone crashes in the referenced year.

Commissioners thanked staff and the public-safety and road-crew workers for their work and urged motorists to exercise patience and caution around work zones. No formal votes on policy or funding followed the ceremonial presentations during the meeting; these were recognition and awareness items.

Ending: The county presented the resolutions and accepted remarks from communications and road-bridge staff. Commissioners used the moment to underscore public appreciation for dispatchers and road crews and to encourage safety while work zones are active.","The Clay County Commission presented an honorary resolution recognizing Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and received a briefing marking National Work Zone Awareness Week, highlighting dispatcher duties and state work-zone crash figures.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6251796,"North Kansas City residents tell Clay County Commission they oppose proposed stadium, ask for local vote",1101,1228000,2329000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193378-9f3fd1bfc1d857878e91966c41839ea5&start=1228&end=2329","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193378-9f3fd1bfc1d857878e91966c41839ea5/thumbnail_1228000.jpg","/articles/6251796/Clay-County/Missouri/North-Kansas-City-residents-tell-Clay-County-Commission-they-oppose-proposed-stadium-ask-for-local-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6251796-f17fb67c1e5fe415b0589f43c172737a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180146&Signature=UswxphyIgmMqS6KotX7R9hqM1O3bTOI~XAFY5b1lQg3vloBW-E58iWDMSal8AGoJEW2m2m1qFvxjdtBPqdE8EfUakAzoiwYZRd5fd3sPRQNJ-yMjs3NKz8O13igq1lcx4sokSg3j8zHnPjdULzQTfA3aUcx-ZpFJ-QEq3yyHnxfCaPXDPtRDl88LK~RdhSwJbUZkxV5woMWCPCzrQWhjCr~YyLyW8tD8ZjX0Z5xfGAcE~xtFGYRb8lP50QMF~F1UW9BSBMg0ROM-e8D9nDGfO5wHbvlbrgkiA0PgZoc-8gcozfW1~VZTRAKkzsitq7TFaYiZOzcqnlNC-FFjB0G2~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents of North Kansas City urged the Clay County Commission during public comment to oppose a proposed stadium and to require a local vote before the county endorses or funds the project. The comments were delivered at the county commission meeting during a public-comment period.

Several residents described potential local impacts they say were not fully addressed. A resident identified in the record as Dave (resident of North Kansas City) said, “Me, personally, I don’t want the stadium,” and asked the commission to help ensure North Kansas City voices are included in any decision-making. Mindy Hart Davis, identified as a North Kansas City resident and former business owner there, said the development could change the “texture of a town” where people bought homes under existing conditions and that residents should be allowed to vote on proposals that would affect their neighborhoods.

Speakers repeatedly raised concerns about noise, traffic, public-safety demands and infrastructure strain. Residents said a stadium placed near homes could increase night-time noise, raise vehicle traffic and require added police and emergency resources. Mindy Hart Davis asked whether liability for upgrades to streets, parking, water and levee/flood protections would fall to local taxpayers. She also warned of the risk of a vacant stadium becoming blight if a major tenant later leaves.

Commissioner Johnson asked whether the speaker opposed the stadium outright or wanted conditions; the resident replied he opposed it. County staff advised residents that written comments may be submitted to the county administrator for distribution to commissioners, and the presiding commissioner invited residents to participate at the city level as well.

The commission did not take any formal action on the stadium during the meeting. Commissioners and staff encouraged continued engagement: Commissioner Carpenter thanked speakers for coming and urged them to also contact North Kansas City city officials and council members, while the presiding commissioner reiterated that written comments submitted to the administrator’s office will be circulated to the commission.

The public commenters said they plan to press city and county officials further and to present their concerns directly to the North Kansas City City Council and other bodies.

Ending: The commission did not schedule a public hearing or vote on the stadium at this session. Administrators invited speakers to submit written comments to the administrator’s office for distribution to commissioners, and residents said they will continue to pursue meetings with city council members and other local officials.","At a Clay County Commission meeting residents of North Kansas City urged commissioners to consider neighborhood impacts and to give local residents a formal vote before endorsing a proposed stadium development.
