Kansas City, MO April Ballot Questions
April 2, 2013 Election
The Martin City Community Improvement District is happy to assist in informing the public about the critical ballot issues upcoming in the April 2013 election. If you are an eligible Kansas City voter, please take time to educate yourself and then cast your votes on April 2nd.
Question 1: YES
The City of KCMO is asking voters to APPROVE Question 1 which will renew approximately one-third of Kansas City’s Health Levy that is set to expire next year. The Question requests that renewal of 22 cents of the current tax levy be dedicated to ambulance service, emergency medical services and hospital and public health purposes for a period of 9 years. (2022). It serves the uninsured and the under-insured of Kansas City.
Please note the city’s safety net providers who benefit from this levy:
Truman Medical Center
Northland Health Care Access
Cabot Westside Health Center
Samuel Rogers Health Center
Swope Health Services
KC Clinic
These safety net providers provide more than $130,000,000 in UNCOMPENSATED health care services every year. Also note these organizations provide more than 8500 jobs by employing doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals.
Last year a portion of the levy helped pay for more than 140,000 health care visits in Kansas City. One out of every 10 Kansas Citians benefited from the levy.
If you own a home assessed at $100,000, you will pay less than $4.00 per month to help provide essential health care services in our community.
Question 1 – Vote YES!
Question 2: YES
Kansas City is asking voters to APPROVE Question 2. This Question closes a loophole in Kansas City ordinances that authorizes collection of the city’s hotel/motel tax that is imposed on conventions in Kansas City. This tax is a major source of funding for our Convention facilities and Visitors Association.
This change does increase the tax but eliminates an exemption for certain non-profit groups and would require most conventions with more than 9 guest rooms to the pay the tax.
Kansas City is one of the few cities in the country that has this exemption.
This exemption accounted for $9,943,587 in lost revenue to the city between 2007 and 2011.
Over half the revenue from the room tax is used for operating our Bartle Convention Center
The balance is used to and the Convention & Visitors Association and the Neighborhood Tourism Development Fund –NTDF (which gives money each year to our own Martin City St. Patrick’s Parade). This tax is the ONLY source of funds for NTDF.
The residents of Kansas City are NOT impacted by this change. Only visitors to the City will be asked to pay this tax.
Questions 2 – Vote YES!
Back to Basics Committee
Question 3: NO
The City of Kansas City is asking voters to vote NO on Question 3. This question is the result of a petition submitted by anti-nuclear activists who want to control the spread of global nuclear weapons but in actuality the question blocks the growth of businesses in Kansas City.
This question is opposed by every recognized business & labor organization in Kansas City that has weighed in on this issue including the Greater Kansas City Chamber, the South Kansas City Chamber and the Martin City CID.
Over the past several years, the anti-nuclear activists have attempted to block the completion of new National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) plant in south Kansas City at Hwy. 150 and Botts Road. If their efforts had been successful Kansas City would have lost 2500 high-paying jobs at the facility.
Martin City CID restaurants are currently providing lunch food services to the plant five days a week through April until their cafeteria is open. This is a major opportunity for these small businesses to augment their winter revenues.
The gist of the petition (Question 3) takes an interesting approach. It would prohibit the City of Kansas City from using any type of financial incentive to attract businesses to the city that provide products or services to the NNSA facility or for any future expansion that the NNSA facility itself would need.
If we chase these businesses away you can expect them to locate in Kansas and surrounding communities instead. That would cost our city thousands in new jobs and millions in tax revenues.
The NNSA plant in South Kansas City which is the current focus of the activists attention does NOT produce anything nuclear. If manufactures non-nuclear components used to modernize and improve the safety and security of the nation’s nuclear deterrent, which is being significantly reduced not enlarged.
The activists ultimately want to scrap our nation’s policy of nuclear deterrence and replace it with unilateral U.S. nuclear disarmament regardless of whether North Korea, Iran or Iraq or others follow suit or not.
This question will not help them achieve this goal. This question only hurts the business community in Kansas City by crippling the city’s ability to compete for new businesses and jobs that might provide products or services to the plant.
Question 3 – Vote NO!
