Clay County Commission does not pursue Kansas City Area Development Council membership after debate
Summary
After extended debate, the Clay County Commission reached a consensus not to move forward with a $10,000 annual investment in the Kansas City Area Development Council; county economic-development partners had offered to contribute $2,500 toward the cost.
The Clay County Commission discussed whether to become an investor member of the Kansas City Area Development Council (KCADC) and, by consensus, decided not to move forward with the $10,000 annual membership.
At the meeting county staff summarized the KCADC offer and noted the Clay County Economic Development Council (EDC) had offered $2,500 toward the $10,000 membership if the county opted in. Staff said KCADC allocates four public-sector seats on its board (two from Missouri, two from Kansas) and that an investor’s reported $10,000 buy-in would permit county-designated participants to attend full investor meetings.
