Board approves budget amendment to fund demolition related to police property separation
Summary
The board adopted an administrative ordinance amending the FY2024 budget to fund demolition connected to a planned property separation of the police department building. Staff said an MOU supports the separation and the amendment funds the demolition of the rear half of the property.
The Harrisonville Board of Aldermen voted to amend the city’s FY2024 operating budget to provide funding for demolition tied to a property-separation agreement involving the police department building.
Jeremy described the action as “really to just, solidify the financial portion of the agreement… there’s the MOU in here for the separation or the understanding with the gentleman who wants to purchase the front half of the police department, with the understanding that we are going to do demolition on the rear half and then proceed with the separation of the 2 properties. So we needed a budget amendment to have the money to do that demolition.”
Alderman Turner moved to suspend the rules and move Council Bill 65 to a reading; Alderman Dorhof seconded. The board voted to suspend the rules and then took the reading and a subsequent roll-call vote that recorded unanimous “Aye” votes. The clerk announced Council Bill 65 as adopted and read an ordinance number aloud (announced in the meeting as "Ordinance 3714").
The transcript records the board’s approval but does not include the detailed MOU language or specific demolition contract amounts in the public reading. The action authorizes the city to use budgeted FY2024 funds to proceed with demolition and the property separation steps described by staff.
The board moved on after the ordinance adoption and then proceeded to committee reports and the city administrator’s broader project updates.
