County to lease downtown parking spaces to State of Missouri; executive estimates $35,000–$40,000 revenue
Summary
Jackson County agreed to lease parking spaces at its 14th & Locust garage to the State of Missouri; the County Executive estimated the arrangement could bring roughly $35,000 to $40,000 in revenue and said the lease would be added under the next contract.
The Legislature reviewed a proposed lease allowing the State of Missouri to use county‑owned parking spaces in the 14th & Locust garage. The County Executive framed the agreement as an opportunity to monetize underused spaces and generate revenue for the county.
"We've got a bunch of unused parking spaces... I believe it comes to the point of about somewhere between 35 to $40,000 we're going to make money on using those spaces," the County Executive said while explaining the administration's interest in bringing the state under contract for parking.
Clerk and legislators moved to discharge the item from committee so the full legislature could consider the lease; after motions and a roll-call vote the item was added to the consent agenda and adopted as part of the consent votes recorded April 29.
The transcript did not specify exact lease terms or a start date; procurement staff will finalize the contract under the county's leasing procedures.
