We encourage every KCBer to Ask Your Commissioners to answer questions like these. Click here to email the commissioners and city clerk:

  • For the commission: How dare you throw out our referendum petitions?
  • For the administrator: Marathon wants to raise our Fire/EMS contract 30% or more. Why are the city administrator's undisclosed "Plans A, B, and C" apparently not working?
  • For the treasurer: According to the financial statements, KCB should have more than $5 million in reserve. Where is it?
  • For the treasurer: Sewer fees have to reflect the actual cost of service. The city decreed the sewer fee increases in Ordinance 2023-486 without any justification other than "it hasn't been raised for a long time.". How about some cost analysis?
  • For the city attorney: How much has KCB spent to disenfranchise city voters over the referendum petition?

Questions the Commission should be asking that aren't on the agenda

People are asking why the work environment is so toxic that every "before-Turner" employee has left the city?

Commissioner Foster's and Commissioner Raspe's evaluations of the city administrator took him to task for turnover, management style, and working conditions. Resignations have increased since that evaluation. The Gang of 3 ignored the facts and gave him a raise.

Sunshine:

Commissioners get a "packet" which is typically about 100 pages of paperwork that supports all the agenda items. The agenda and the packet were both created September 15. The commissioners have their packets (both the PDFs and the paper copies) for the September 21 meeting but despite citizen requests, the packet still wasn't on the city website as of Tuesday, September 19. Why did it take so long to be posted ... again?

The Government in the Sunshine manual makes clear that the packet should be published to the public at the same time it is produced for the commissioners. People are asking why it was not.
