Council tables Raytown sale ordinance pending broader testimony
Summary
Council voted to table a draft ordinance related to the Raytown sale and asked staff to invite several community and state-level experts to testify at a future work session; the motion passed on roll call and will be rescheduled within the next two work sessions.
A draft ordinance concerning the sale of Raytown was tabled by the council on a motion by a council member who asked that additional local experts and state-level stakeholders be invited to testify before the council renders a decision.
Council members said the issue involves multiple community interests and several individuals with subject-matter expertise requested to speak. The mover said he wanted to hear from about four or five people from the community whose positions and research would inform council deliberations. The motion requested that the item be set for 1 of the next 2 work sessions so the invited witnesses can attend.
The council conducted a roll call vote; the motion carried. Staff will coordinate invitations and return the ordinance for further discussion and potential action at the rescheduled session.
