The Leawood City Council unanimously adopted a resolution approving a right‑of‑way maintenance agreement between the city and the Hazelwood Homeowners Association to support placement of a neighborhood license‑plate reader.

Councilmember Kane introduced the item as the second HOA partnership for the city’s neighborhood LPR program; Hallbrook was the first. She thanked Police Chief Robbins and staff for developing the program and said Hazelwood would be the second participating association.

Chief Robbins said Hazelwood is a non‑gated community and that the Hallbrook installation has provided leads to identify suspect vehicles, though he did not describe a specific case solved by the device. Councilmembers asked whether other neighborhoods had expressed interest; Robbins said another neighborhood had made inquiries but had not yet requested an agreement.

Kane moved to approve the agreement; Mr. Stunkle seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

The measure authorizes the mayor to execute the right‑of‑way maintenance agreement with the Hazelwood Homeowners Association; the resolution does not authorize additional city funding beyond the terms of the agreement and does not change city policy beyond the existing LPR pilot program.
