"The secret of getting started is breaking
your complex, overwhelming tasks into
small manageable tasks, and then
starting on the first one."
- Mark Twain

 

 

NEXT DISTRICT 1 MEETING IS SEPT 11 FROM 10:00-12:00

(MARK YOUR CALENDARS)  

COUNCIL MEMBER HALLAM AND MYSELF WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD THE DISTRICT ONE MEETINGS.  IT IS THROUGH THESE AND LISTENING TO THE CONSTITUENTS THAT THINGS CONTINUALLY GET ACCOMPLISHED. 

WITHOUT THE PEOPLE TELLING US HOW THEY FEEL, WE CERTAINLY DO NOT KNOW.   THEREFORE I CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE COMING FORWARD WITH QUESTION, OR ISSUES.   WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OR WE ARE NOT EDUCATED IN WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN THE CITY.  I HAVE LEARNED UNLESS YOU HAVE LIVED IN THE AREA, YOU REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUES ARE.

LEES SUMMIT FARMERS MARKET HAS OPENED.  COME OUT AND ENJOY THE FRESH VEGETABLE AND FLOWERS, GROWN BY OUR LOCAL VENDERS.

EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY!

 

                  THANKS FOR TRUSTING ME FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS!

MOST OF MY LIFE I HAVE SPENT FACING THE CHALLENGES THAT HAVE BEEN HANDED TO ME.  I FEEL WE ARE GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW THROUGH EACH ISSUE GOOD OR BAD.  THE CHOICE IS OURS.  ONE MUST EXAMINE EACH, KNOWING ALL DECISIONS WILL NOT PLEASE EVERYONE, MY SELF INCLUDED.  IN THE END, "I" MUST BE ABLE TO LOOK INSIDE AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE DIRECTION I HAVE CHOSEN.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

NOW THAT I HAVE EMBARKED ON THE NEXT 4 YEARS, SERVING YOU AS COUNCILMEMBER, I FIND MYSELF VERY BUSY WITH CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ON THE FIRST 3 THURSDAYS A MONTH @6:15PM.

I ALSO HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE:

*PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE--1st WEDNESDAY @7:00am

*COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE--3rd WEDNESDAY @6:00pm

*CHAIR OF SOLID WASTE COMMITTEE--4th WEDNESDAY @4:00pm

*LIAISON TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY--1st WEDNESDAY@7:00pm

*LIAISON TO L.S. CARES COMMITTEE--3rd MONDAY@11:00am

*LIAISON TO PARK BOARD--4TH WED @7:00pm

AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM GOING TO BE BUSY.  BUT I FEEL BETTER SPENDING MY TIME WORKING FOR YOU THAN SITING BACK WATCHING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE BEING RUN.. I HAVE LEARNED CHAOS CREATES CHANGE, AND WITHOUT CHANGE (AS DIFFICULT AS IT CAN SOMETIMES BE), WE CANNOT HAVE A POSITIVE FUTURE.  WITHOUT FUTURE WE WOULD NOT HAVE A GROWING, THRIVING CITY WITHIN LEE'S SUMMIT.

AS YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, I LOOK AT EACH ISSUE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, THE AREA, AND THE CITY. I HAVE LEARNED THEY MUST WORK HAND IN HAND.  I SEEK TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT IS THE BEST FOR ALL PARTIES.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY LIFE HERE.  I KNOW I DO!!

THANKS FOR TRUSTING ME.

KATHY
