On Nov. 2, Raytown voters will be asked to go to the polls and vote “yes” or “no” on a local use tax. This single ballot question will be a game changer. If passed it will generate an estimated $200,000 to $400,000 annually for our general fund. It would generate funds to help pay for such city services like street repairs, street maintenance, and additional police officers. How will this be funded? Simply by doing what Raytown citizens are already doing, shopping online with certain out-of-state vendors. We all know the shift to online shopping reached an all-time high during COVID-19. In fact, nationally, consumers spent $861 billion online with U.S. merchants in 2020, according to Digital Commerce 360 estimates. That is a 44 % increase from the previous year. Consumers are using internet sales as their primary shopping method, and currently the City of Raytown does not receive sales tax on those purchases. That’s 2.5 % on each transaction that the city is not collecting. This small percentage adds up over time and across purchases. Therefore, it is so important for our citizens to carefully consider this ballot question and what it will mean for our city. I say this all the time. Raytown is a great town. Our city is rich in community spirit. We are proud of what our city offers. If we are to maintain our quality of life, we must level the field between local brick and mortar stores and online retailers. Right now, the city is using its reserves to keep up with maintaining basic city services. City property taxes have remained the same since 1978. Most other taxes the city collects are dedicated for specific purposes and cannot be used in the General Fund. So, let’s just think about this. Are you making the same wage from 1978? Of course not. Why should the city be expected to try and meet current day expenses with a 1978 paycheck? Many untruths and misperceptions are being circulated about the use tax. Here are the facts:
In simple terms, an online sales tax, better known as a use tax, simply requires online merchants to charge sales tax, which is then issued to the municipality in which the purchase was made. In Raytown, brick and mortar stores charge a 2.5% local sales tax, which is the exact same amount consumers would pay for online purchases if the use tax passes. You see, it is the responsibility of your local government to offer services that citizens expect, like roads and public safety. In Raytown, those items, among many others, are paid for by sales tax dollars. The longer Raytown goes without a use tax, the harder it will be for the city to support economic development projects. If a city cannot provide support to economic development, then it will be more difficult to attract new businesses and new residents, as well as keeping the longtime residents here. Let me say this. I am not a tax and spend kind of guy, but this city has done all it can with the resources we are given. Expenses keep going up, while the citizens keep expecting more and better services. These services take money to maintain and improve. We all want better roads, police and infrastructure. It takes money. We are losing or leaking tax dollars to internet sales at a rapid rate. It is time to make things fair for the brick-and-mortar stores that have a footprint in this city and must collect taxes on their sales. Please be educated on what this measure truly means for us now and on into the future. It is time to replenish the supply of tax dollars lost to internet shopping so that we may continue to support city services and keep this wonderful city moving forward, not falling behind. This city is a wonderful place to live, work and play. Give your city government the tools to maintain services and move forward with projects to enhance our lives here. I am asking as your Mayor and longtime fellow citizen to please vote yes on this measure on November 2nd, 2021. Thank you for your time and thank you for your vote for our town’s future. God Bless. Sincerely, Reprinted FROM THE Kansas City Star OCTOBER 29, 2021 Raytown Voters do not need to handThe following is a Guest Editorial by Ward 1 Alderman Greg Walters. It was originally published on Ocober 29, 2021. Mr. Walters is serving in his 30th year as a member of the Raytown Board of Aldermen. He also publishes a weekly news/blog named the Raytown Report since 1997. The Raytown Report can be accessed at www.raytownreport.blogspot.com over a blank check in Sales Use Taxes On Tuesday Raytown voters will decide the fate of a new 2.5% Sales Use Tax. This Band-Aid approach of slowly ratcheting up the cost of living with a new sales tax is deeply flawed. Pro tax forces have run a campaign of misinformation to persuade voters to buy into this unfair and regressive tax increase. They complain inflation is costing the city tax dollars, particularly in franchise tax fees. That is nonsense. Franchise taxes in Raytown are paid for by homeowners and businesses when they pay utility bills. These taxes are assessed on how much you pay for electricity, natural gas, telephone service (cell and landline), and cable services. Franchise taxes are tied directly to inflation. If the cost of your service goes up, so does the franchise tax you pay. All sales taxes are tied directly to inflation as well. For instance, the more you spend on groceries, the more the city makes. The pro tax people claim the city has had declining revenues. That is simply not true. In fact, in 2019/2020 (at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic) the city actually had a banner year. Sales tax revenues have remained robust into 2021. Because of inflation, city tax revenues will continue to rise. Real estate and personal property tax revenue is on the rise as well. Want proof? Check out the increase of what homes are selling for in the Raytown area. There is a housing shortage. Demand has driven prices up. Higher values means more real estate tax revenue for the city. Another falsehood being spread by the pro-tax people is that this new Sales Use Tax is a tax on internet retailers. That is extremely misleading. If this Sales Use Tax passes purchases from out of state internet sellers would be charged an additional 2.5%. The vendor does not pay the tax. As with all sales taxes, the vendor acts as an agent for the taxing entity. The retailer remits the sales tax collected to the State of Missouri. The state redistributes the tax collected to local governing entities. An interesting fact about the Sales Use Tax is that less than half the cities in the State of Missouri collect it. There is also a question of what is fair and equitable for Raytown taxpayers. The Use Tax is a regressive tax. It hurts those most who have the least. It is a financial drain on low and fixed income households as compared to those with higher incomes. A seatmate of mine on the Raytown Board of Aldermen, Derek Ward, has suggested the city should look at Municipal Bonds. A Better Way. Municipal Bonds would raise more money, more quickly, than levying a Sales Use Tax on Raytowners. Best of all, it would jump start long overdue improvements to city streets, particularly in our neighborhoods. What Raytown really needs is more accountability from its elected leaders. The proposed 2.5% Sales Use Tax provides none. All the money collected under the proposed Sales Use Tax will go into the general fund. No earmarks for improving our city’s infrastructure. No money set aside for improvements to neighborhoods. A Municipal Bond is different because the money from bonds can only be spent on what the voters are promised. Such bonds are valuable because they are enforced by Bond Covenants that are iron clad. If voters approve the Sales Use Tax there is no guarantee where the money will be spent. Therefore, no accountability. It would be accurate to say you are writing a blank check to City Hall. Those blank checks to City Hall have not worked in the past. Those blank checks will not work now. VOTE NO Sales Use Tax Special Election Tuesday, November 2, 2021 Better yet, Vote No and remind your neighbors, friends and family to do the same. Please note my new email address: greg@serviceprintingandgraphics.com Greg Walters Service Printing & Graphics, Inc. 1146 Harrison Kansas City, MO 64106 greg@serviceprintingandgraphics.com www.serviceprintingandgraphics.com 816-842-9068 office 816-517-6852 cell 816-842-4763 fax The proposed “Use Tax” is a tax on items you order shipped to you. I found it hard to find any information about the specifics, so I did a little research and found a copy in the Board of Aldermen packet for Aug. 17th and will include it in this post. The city does need more income. This may help. I would suggest that more effort also be placed in getting real valuations for many business properties, especially on the 350 highway. I assume that this will mirror Missouri in not taxing prescription medicine, but will tax food. Missouri being one of the few states that does not exclude food from sales tax, but does exempt drugs if they are prescription. CITY OF RAYTOWN Request for Board Action Date: August 12, 2021 Bill No.: 6579-21 To: Mayor and Board of Aldermen Section No.: III-A-9 From: Damon Hodges, City Administrator Department Head Approval: Finance Director Approval: ________________________ (only id funding is requested) City Administrator Approval: Action Requested: Request approval of ordinance to authorize a question regarding a use tax to be placed on the November 2, 2021 ballot. Recommendation: Approve the Ordinance. Analysis: Pursuant to the authority granted by the provision of Sections 144.060 through 144.761 RSMo., the City of Raytown is authorized to ask voters to approve a use tax. A use tax applies to purchases from out-of-state retailers. Currently, someone making local purchases pays the City’s sales tax rate of 2.50% on every purchase (1% General Fund, .50% Transportation Fund, .375% Capital Fund, .50% Public Safety Fund .125% Park Fund). The City currently does not have a voter approved use tax; therefore, any items purchased from a business located outside of Missouri does not require the business to collect and remit the local sales tax. Adoption of a use tax would require that the same tax rate is charged on items purchased locally or online. The City of Raytown took similar steps in August 2016, when voters were asked to consider an initiative dealing with out-of-state motor vehicle sales, trailers, boats, outboard motors and RV’s. Voters approved the continuation of the tax by 72%. The Missouri Municipal League in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Revenue, has completed an extensive analysis regarding the potential revenue being lost across the State in those cities that do not have a use tax. A use tax would generate an estimated $400,000.00 annually, dependent on the City’s gross receipts. Alternatives: Failure to adopt this ordinance would leave the City without the funds.

There are two contested races for a seat on the Raytown Board of Aldermen and two of the candidates stand out as being thoughtful and stable in nature. For Ward I: Ian Scott For Ward II: Loretha Hayden The contrast between Mr. Scott’s performance and that of his opponents in the League of Women Votes forum was sharp and revealing. Ms. Hayden’s work in the community and business experience reflect the experience that would be a valuable addition to the Board of Aldermen. Her opponent’s most recent mailing of “Veterans in support of” with purposely blurred faces is in short just bizzarre. For Raytown School Board: Alonzo Burton’s record of professionalism and energy has been a welcome addition and he has earned another term. Michael N. Downing Hello, I’m Ian Sc
 ott. I’m running for Raytown Alderman in Ward 1 and I’d like to introduce myself a little bit.
I’ve lived in the Kansas City area my whole life. I grew up in Belton and have lived in Raytown for the last 12 years. I’m a member of River Church Family, have an office in the River of Refuge building on Raytown Road, and live right in the heart of Ward 1. My wife, Maria, and I have a busy young family, with five children ages 9 to 4. Two of our kids are homeschooled, two attend Blue Ridge Elementary, and our youngest is not-very-patiently excited to start preschool later this year. When not in school, we love our Monday “adventure day” trips to nearby state parks, nature centers, the Zoo, and Science City. During the school year, we love the Chiefs and Royals, and Saturday “adventure days.” Over the years, I’ve participated in numerous outreach programs and events through my church and River of Refuge including Summer Lunch Program; cleanups at local parks and public spaces; donation drives for school supplies and teachers’ resources; service projects such as mowing lawns, painting houses, and donating and delivering groceries. I’ve greatly enjoyed all these experiences and look forward to many more opportunities to serve my Raytown neighbors. I’m a young man but I’ve held leadership roles throughout my life: youth leadership council of my high school youth group, editor-in-chief of the Longview Community College student newspaper, creative arts pastor, worship leader, retail department manager, head of White River Productions’ digital publishing department. I also currently serve on our church council overseeing the finances of River Church Family. I have some ideas I’d like to see unfold in our city: more local business, communities coming together in friendship, safer streets and neighborhoods through improved infrastructure and crime prevention. More than my own ideas, though, I want to hear from you. I feel like elected leadership’s highest responsibility is to understand the needs of the people you serve and work to address them. So my platform is: Listen to people • Learn their needs and struggles • Solve problems and improve our community ————- Thank you,
Ian Scott

CITIZENS SUMMARY Restricted Monies Disbursements Budgets and Receipting Procedures Sunshine Law Police Department Volunteers The city can improve its monitoring of the use of restricted city sales taxes used to subsidize the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) debt associated with the Raytown Live Redevelopment Area (Raytown Live). The city has not determined and does not monitor the restricted portions of the TIF debt to ensure the non-captured (city) portion of the restricted sales taxes contributed by the city to pay the TIF debt are used only for allowable purposes. The city is not monitoring the outstanding TIF debt related to transportation or stormwater projects and has not determined the outstanding portion of TIF debt related to capital improvements projects. The city provides accounting services for the Highway 350 Transportation Development District (TDD), but since the city is not tracking the balance of the TIF debt, the TDD sales tax could be improperly collected after the transportation portion of the TIF debt is retired. The contributions of the city portion of the Economic Activity Taxes collected within the Raytown Live TIF is not reported transparently in the budgets or financial statements. The city is not properly tracking the expenditures and balance of state motor vehicle related monies. The city has no documentation to justify the allocation of salaries and fringe benefits of several city employees. The city did not solicit bids or proposals for some goods and services purchased in accordance with the city’s purchasing policy. The city made severance payments totaling $70,161 to 9 Police department employees during the year ended October 31, 2017, that were not necessary and reasonable. One of these agreements was not formally approved by the Board of Aldermen (Board). The city rehired 4 of these employees by December 1, 2017. The city did not have affidavits from some vendors certifying no conflicts of interest existed with any city officer or employee, appointed or elected, as required by the city purchasing policy. City budgets do not include all statutorily required elements. City personnel do not account for the numerical sequence of receipt slips issued from the financial accounting system. The city did not ensure compliance with the Sunshine Law for closed meetings held by the Board, the Park Board, or the BMX Advisory Board. The Board and Park Board did not maintain meeting minutes for all closed meetings, and discussed some items in closed meeting that were either not allowed by state law or were not cited as the reason for closing the meeting. The Board cited the same reasons for closing many of its meeting, but either did not discuss, or did not adequately document discussion related to some topics cited as the reason for closing the meeting. Park Board minutes did not contain all information required by state law. The BMX Advisory Board does not hold Board meetings consistently. The city does not have a contract or formal agreement with a local not-for profit (NFP) organization that documents the duties and responsibilities of each party. The Police department did not have a method to ensure all expenses eligible for reimbursement from the NFP were requested as applicable. The department did not follow, or did not properly document, Parks and Recreation Department Policies and Procedures the screening procedures for citizens applying to work in the department’s Volunteer Corp as established by department policy. Receipt slips are not issued for any payments received or amounts transmitted to the Parks and Recreation department and the composition (cash, check, or credit card) of payments received is not compared to the composition of deposits by an independent person. The Park Board has not adopted specific policies and procedures to provide oversight of the BMX Advisory Board.
