Charlie Franklin, chair of the Jackson County Budget Committee, introduced agenda item 21971 to authorize the county executive to execute an intergovernmental cooperative agreement with the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, for event parking accommodations at no cost to the county.

Diane Kimsey of Parks Plus Rec explained the agreement covers use of the City of Lee’s Summit parking lot for the Trip the Lights Fantastic bike ride, scheduled for Nov. 23. "Average attendance for this event is 3,000, so we really need to be able to use this parking lot to accommodate all of the patrons who come to the event," Kimsey said.

The committee voted by voice to recommend adoption of the agreement; the transcript does not include the name of the mover or a roll-call tally. The recommendation advances the proposed intergovernmental agreement but the transcript does not record the final execution or any insurance, liability, or traffic-management details.
