DESCRIPTION
This legislation allows funding of motor pool operation by the Mas Transportation Trust Fund.
The Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund is for the primary benefit of a public mass transportation system in Kansas City.
Currently, the law limits the amount of sales tax collected to six and one-half percent of the moneys deposited in the fund to motor pool operations. Motor pool operations is a special transportation service provided by a city to certain residents of a city including transporting elderly persons and persons with disabilities. This act eliminates the six and one-half percent limitation motor pool operation funding. The public Mass Transportation Trust Fund is financed by a sales tax imposed on personal property or taxable services.
This act revises the method in which the Commissioners of the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority are appointed. If the current commissioner was appointed from Platte, Cass, or Clay County, the County Commission would submit a panel of three persons to the Kansas City
mayor. The Mayor would appoint one of those persons as a commissioner with the approval of the city council. If the vacancy to be filled is from Jackson County, the County Executive of
Jackson County would appoint a successor who is a resident of any city, town or village, other than Kansas City, that has appropriated funds for the operation of the authority in its current or preceding fiscal year. If the vacancy is from Kansas City, the Mayor would appoint a successor who is a resident of Kansas City.
The term of office for a commissioner is four years. No person shall serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. If the person was appointed to serve an unexpired term of a predecessor who had more than two and one-half years remaining on his or her term, then the person would only serve one additional four-year term.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
