Kansas City, Missouri, City Council kicks can down the road on $12 million Water Services Department contract

Civic-minded Kansas City residents with an interest in how their tax dollars are spent by City Hall should mark August 15 on their calendars. That’s when the Kansas City, Missouri, City Council will hold a business session to discuss a $12 million no-bid contract with a Chicago company to help the beleaguered Water Services Department with its customer-service problems.
The ordinance was up for a vote before the Kansas City Finance, Governance and Ethics Committee on Wednesday, but committee chairwoman Jan Marcason delayed the vote and the discussion about it.
