In other school news, it looks like core curriculum courses for summer school will survive cuts for grades 9 to 12. K through 8th grade are still at risk and dependent on state funding decisions by the legislature.

Raytown seems to get ignored in the media, unless there is a major crime commited here. It is nice to see a fairly in depth article about the parks sales tax renewal.

Fourth Ward Alderman Pat Ertz term as Mayor Pro Tem ended with the election of Joe Creamer to the annually rotating position. Mayor Bower read a proclamation honoring Alderman Ertz for his service.
The Board of Aldermen amended the Park Sales Tax bill to include a sunset provision. The vote was close, 6 to 4. The Mayor made it clear that he would vote in favor of the amendment if he had to break a tie vote. The pro-amendment side argued that this would leave control in the hands of the voters. Those against the amendment argued that oversight should be by the Board every year and that renewal already has cost about $100,000 in Election Board fees.
The amendment passing had the effect of delaying final passage to the next BOA meeting. At that time the BOA will vote on putting the revised version of the bill on the August Primary ballot. Joe Creamer was elected Mayor Pro Tem by his fellow Aldermen. This will be Alderman Creamer’s first term in this role.

Recently I brought to the Board of Alderman the idea of requiring registration of vacant and abandoned structures in the City of Raytown. It was my intent that someone could drive down any street and not be able to tell the difference between a residence that is lived in and one that is owned by a bank. The ordinance allows us to have contact information with banks, realators, ect, in the event there is a code violation the city has contact information that will enable us to resolve violations in a quicker manner.
I just had conversation with Beth Linn this morning and the ordinance is in full swing, as of now we have about 50 properties that have been registered with contact information.If you know of any homes in your neighborhood that need to be registered you can contact community development at 737-6014 and they will send a codes officer out to check for signs of vacancy and begin the process.
It is my hope that this will help to streamline the process with some of the properties in our community and will help to make Raytown a quality place to live.
Alderman Joe Creamer

It was a fun game with plenty of turnovers on both sides and some flashy shooting. Both teams had some very good players, but South faculty had a couple more stars to call on and that was the deciding factor.
