The board voted unanimously, by recorded roll calls, to: (1) authorize the city to execute an agreement with Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc., for engineering services related to Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3 and to authorize payment (ordinance no. 7575); (2) authorize payment to purchase Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations for city use (ordinance no. 7576); and (3) approve the dissolution of certain unused funds that have been closed out and zeroed, as part of routine housekeeping for the city’s chart of accounts (ordinance no. 7577).

Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3: The ordinance authorizes execution of an agreement with Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc., for engineering services and authorizes payment for those services; the transcript states the agreement and payment were authorized but does not specify a contract amount.

Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations: The ordinance authorizes payment for Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations (vendors and product names appeared in the final reading). The transcript does not list a dollar amount.

Dissolution of unused funds: Finance staff explained this item is a routine cleanup of funds that have been closed out, audited and zeroed, and therefore removed from the chart of accounts. The staff explanation noted these are fund closures and not distributions of unspent dollars; the transcript records that any dollars had already been zeroed out.

Resident Daryl McKinney, of 11219 Spring Valley Road in Kansas City, told the board he was stopped after leaving a restaurant and said an officer followed him for nearly two miles before pulling him over. McKinney said he submitted a breath test “twice, 0.7,” which he described as below the legal limit, and that an officer told him, “I’m gonna arrest you,” before citing him for driving through a roundabout and for not maintaining a lane. “I’m 64 year old male, never had a parking ticket, nothing,” McKinney told the board, saying he felt he had been profiled and threatened during the stop.

Business owner Tammy Echols Biggs, who identified herself as owner of “Mr. Biggs’ place,” told the board she has documented multiple incidents she characterizes as harassment by Grandview police. “I have documentation of over 8 people that have been harassed by the police of Grandview,” Echols Biggs said, and added that her husband, who she said ran the business, died Jan. 18 of a heart attack, a death she linked to the stress of running the establishment amid the encounters she described. She said some customers are now afraid to come to her business.

Mayor Jones said the board would record the complaints and that city staff would follow up. “Do sign in, and we’ll have staff get back in touch with you because I think that’s very important for us to do,” Mayor Jones said after McKinney’s comments.

The remarks came during the public-comment period; speakers asked that the city review the incidents they described. The transcript does not include any immediate formal action by the board beyond the mayor’s assurance that staff would contact the speakers. The board did not vote on or direct a specific internal or external investigation during the meeting.","During public comment, two people described encounters they said amounted to profiling or harassment by Grandview police; the mayor said staff will follow up.","actionData","errors"]
