Kansas City Museum audit delayed again, split with Union Station on its way
A long-awaited audit discussion regarding Union Station’s management of the Kansas City Museum was supposed to happen Wednesday before the Kansas City Finance, Ethics and Governance Committee. But members of that committee agreed to postpone it until at least after Labor Day. One thing seemed clear from Wednesday’s meeting: The Kansas City Museum won’t be under the auspices of Union Station for much longer.
Committee chairwoman Jan Marcason said discussions have been under way to see about ending the complicated relationship that the Kansas City Museum has with Union Station, which operates the museum at the northeast’s Corinthian Hall. That relationship proved itself to be a tumultuous one when on-site director Christopher Leitch was abruptly fired early in July, a decision made by Union Station president and CEO George Guastello.
