City Manager: animal shelter to shift hours; Red Rally set for Civic Center Park
Summary
The City Manager announced the animal shelter will change hours to 1:00 p.m.–5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, likely effective the week of Aug. 18, and previewed the Red Rally event at Civic Center Park with scheduled performances and Chiefs-related activities.
The City Manager reported two operational items to the council. First, the animal shelter will transition to new public hours — 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday — a change intended to increase weekend accessibility and improve volunteer and staff availability. The manager said the change will be announced by press release and implementation is likely the week of Aug. 18.
Second, the manager previewed the annual Red Rally celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp in St. Joseph. The event is scheduled for Saturday at Civic Center Park, with food and entertainment vendors arriving at noon and main-stage events beginning at 1:00 p.m. Performers listed in the announcement include local artist Haley Hatley and Blaine Howard; a feature called "Sparks Fly — the Taylor Swift Experience" was slated to conclude before the Chiefs portion of the rally at 5:20 p.m. The Chiefs portion of the event will be emceed by former Kansas City Chief Sean Barber and will include appearances by Casey Wolfe and the Chiefs' rumble drumline.
No substantive council questions or public comments about these items were recorded in the transcript.
