Hi Morgan No we are not Proud of Mayor Lucas. Repealing NEW ORDINANCE TO CODE BOOKS ORDINANCE NO. 230401 Amending Chapter 3, Code of Ordinances, by repealing Section 3-431, “Setting Goals for Individual Contracts” and enacting in lieu thereof a new section of like number and subject matter regulating the application of numeric MBE/WBE goals on certain projects leased for development or receiving economic development incentives or tax abatement. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY: 2. Ignoring the letter from The Kcmo Fairness Board Chairman & Fairness Committee regarding Civil Rights violations ? Harrasment of minority contractors ? inadequate reporting from Kcmo CREO department ? No Disparity report for 9 years and more ? 2016 Disparity Report below: Department of I think 1.2 minority [participation] and 2.5 WBE [participation], when there was adequate availability of minority and women contractors to meet the City’s standard kind of goal of 15 [percent] and 7 [percent]. They’re diluting the opportunity for minority and women contractors when it comes through the statutory business development organizations, all of whom have different sets of rules..… There ought to be a uniform code that is incorporated in all the development agreements which people in our community never see.… There’s a disconnect. And I realize they’re trying to change some of that now but the insulting part of it was there was more money spent through statutory agencies last year for contracting activities than there were through City departments.… It’s obviously developer driven. By the time we see it the development agreement has already been executed. Caused lack of capital for Jackson County schools and libraries. Mayor Lucas and Insult to African Americans everywhere?
Grateful to Quinton Lucas for the opportunity to serve my community and for the strong trust we’ve placed in each other since day one. We’ve accomplished a lot the past five years, and I hope we’ve made Kansas City proud. Under the mayor’s leadership, I know our City government will remain bold, caring and creative. How special it’s been to be part of it all. Reid Day, you’re up next! We’re all rooting for you.

Empowering the healing of a Warrior Mindset through the transformative power of a Love Mindset. Our coaching integrates self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness to help you live the happiest life. Love ❤️
Warrior to Love: Show-Up I recently had an inspiring meeting with Councilman Michael Boylan from Jacksonville City Council District 6. It reminded me of the power of community engagement and the importance of taking action to drive change. Years ago, I considered a political career, but my wife and I decided it wasn't the right path for us. Instead, I focused on connecting with our local representatives, believing that true change starts with us. During our conversation, we discussed the book "A Quiet Revolution," which explores the history of Jacksonville's consolidation. Jacksonville Historical Society Both Councilman Boylan and I share a passion for history and a vision for progress in our city. We reflected on the challenges and the numerous failed attempts to unite and advance Jacksonville over the years. One of the biggest questions remains: how do you unite a community divided in the largest city by land mass in the USA? While I am still working on the answer, I know that getting involved and building relationships is a significant step forward. As a private citizen, I've had the privilege of connecting with some of the best professionals and actively participating in our community. My passion lies in solving problems and fostering resilience in relationships. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. It takes everyone to participate in creating and sustaining livable communities. Everything starts with you! Let's take action, show up, and work together to make City of Jacksonville the best place to live on earth. #CommunityEngagement #LocalLeadership #Jacksonville #WarriorToLove #ShowUp #Inspiration #TakeAction

“You’ve got a person with an idea, and a person bringing people together: combining these two is the key to creating successful communities.” Today, Lenz talks about the often overlooked role played by Community Builders - those that bring people and ideas together to foster thriving, impactful communities. He explains how the community fabric is made up of threads, and how the more they’re interwoven, the stronger the fabric is, and the stronger the fabric, the more can grow out of it. And the weaver at the heart of it all? That’s the community builder! Check it out! #CommunityBuilding #LeadershipDevelopment

We are stronger together. That’s is why Promise Neighborhoods across CA came together a few years ago to form the CA Promise Neighborhoods Network(CPNN) to share and learn best practices from each other, to advocate for all of our communities across CA together, and to strategize how to sustain and scale our work. We have accomplished many of our initial goals but have so much more work to do to ensure all of our communities have equitable opportunities to thrive. We meet on a quarterly basis and take turns hosting each other. This time it was Klamath Promise Neighborhood’s, our newest promise neighborhoods grantee in CA, turn to host us. We learned SO much about how they have leveraged promise neighborhoods funding to increase math and English scores in just one year, how they are supporting CTE pathways, how they are centering culture and traditions to connect with, and help youth and their families, have more opportunities for economic mobility. Additionally, we were reminded of the importance of, and our connection to, Mother Earth. We are still processing all of our learnings but are hopeful for the work ahead. Next up, our CPNN colleagues will be visiting us in Hayward! We cannot wait to return all the hospitality, love, care, and nourishment that we were provided these last few days. #commUNITY #PromiseNeighborhoods #CAPromiseNeighborhoods #CPNN #cradletocareer #C2Ccoalition #CradletoCareerCA #STRONGkids #STRONGfamilies #STRONGcommunities #collectiveimpact #healing #relationshipbuilding #MissionPromise #KlamathPromise #CorningPromise #SanDiegoPromise #ChulaVistaPromise #HaywardPromise https://lnkd.in/gh_RJTy6

DON'T PAT YOURSELVES ON THE BACK JUST YET! THE HISTORY AND PRESENT STATE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN AMERICA CAN BE SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD: BROKEN #HOMELESSNESS IS THE RESULT OF DECADES OF THE FAILURE TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL. DON'T BE FOOLED BY SLICK PROMOTIONAL POSTS THAT MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOUR LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS ARE SOLVING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS. WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE PUBLIC AND TAXPAYERS MUST ASK: AT WHAT COST TO THE TAXPAYERS AND HOW LONG IS THE AFFORDABILITY PERIOD? EVERY TAXPAYER SHOULD BE ASKING THEIR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, density bonus increase, waivers of impact fees, or other government benefit or incentive did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project and, if the affordability period is not in perpetuity or permanent, WHY NOT? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants in the affordable housing units will not be displaced after an "affordability period expires? Any LOCAL, STATE or FEDERAL official that does not MANDATE "permanent" affordability periods or affordability "IN PERPETUITY" for any project receiving some government benefit is commiting MALFEASANCE and should quit, be removed from office or be terminated. IN MOST CASES WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, the public and taxpayer are being fooled into thinking their elected and appointed officials are solving problems, when in fact, all hey have done is "KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD" to burden a future generation with the same problem or crisis!
We're proud to see Enterprisers from across the country supporting houses of worship through our Faith-Based Development Initiative (FBDI) convene earlier this month in Washington D.C. for a retreat focused on strategy and relationship-building. Since its inception in 2006, we have seen a significant expansion of FBDI’s reach and impact, with cohorts launching in D.C., Baltimore, Prince George’s County, NYC, Atlanta, South Florida, and Seattle. We couldn’t do this work without our incredible team dedicated to bridging the gap between faith organizations and the development industry. #FaithBasedDevelopment #AffordableHomes #TeamStrategy
