6th District Councilmen McManus and Taylor are hosting a series of movie nights this summer at KCPD South Patrol, 9701 Marion Park Drive. We're looking forward to these events and hope to see you there! Movies will be on the lawn of South Patrol (gym, if raining) and there will be free popcorn and water. See below for details on the first movie night, taking place on May 19, and stay tuned for updates on future dates.

KCMO recently introduced Compass KC, a new permitting system that will make it easier to do business with The City of Kansas City, Missouri. Compass KC will link city departments, to provide a one-stop shop for residents and businesses. Compass KC will allow residents to apply for various permits electronically, eliminating the need to visit City Hall to pick up and pay for permits.

Compass KC will provide a number of benefits to the community and make it easier to access and interact with data stored by the city.

Data from the following departments will be available on Compass KC.

Once the system launches, you can watch tutorials on how to register, search for permits, apply for plans/permits and how to use the dashboard. You can also find out how to register in the user guide.

For additional information and to pre-register, visit kcmo.gov/CompassKC

For general questions about the software, email CompassKC@kcmo.org.

In April, residents of Kansas City showed their overwhelming support for The Public Improvements Advisory Committee (PIAC) by reauthorizing a one-cent capital improvements sales tax. Each year this provides approximately $70 million for public infrastructure investments throughout the city, with each council district receiving around $4 million to fund in-district projects submitted through the PIAC process. Any resident can submit an application to request PIAC funding for a particular public improvement project. PIAC, in cooperation with the Mayor and City Council, hold public hearings across the city, where residents can provide comments and testimony on their proposed project or any other project proposed to the committee. Following the completion of all hearings, PIAC will recommend projects for funding to the Council for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.

There are two PIAC hearings scheduled in the 6th Distict (see below), but residents can provide input and testimony at any PIAC hearing.
