ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Economic Development- Mo. Housing Commission assume no state fiscal impact.
Officials of the Kansas City Manager's Office assume no fiscal impact to City Funds, however, officials stated that the cost of paying the Housing Commissioners $200 per month plus expenses would come from funds of the Kansas City Housing Authority.
Oversight assumes that the cost to the Kansas City Housing Authority would be 7 Commissioners x $2,400 ($200 x 12 months = $2,400) or $16,800 annually plus an unknown amount for expense reimbursement. Fiscal impact for the Kansas City Housing Authority for 10 months of FY 2003 is $14,000 plus an Unknown amount for expense reimbursement. Commissioners would be allowed to adjust the compensation annually to reflect the changes in the Consumer Price Index or could use a similar prudent and object pre-escalator method.

DESCRIPTION
Under current law, all seven members of the Kansas City Housing Authority Commission are appointed by the mayor, with one member from each of the six city council districts and the seventh member a tenant of a housing authority project. All commissioners must have resided in Kansas City for at least one year.
Under this substitute, six commissioners will be nominated by a nominating committee and appointed by the mayor, and one commissioner will be elected by the tenants of the housing authority. All must be residents of Kansas City for at least one year. One of the appointed commissioners must be receiving Section 8 housing assistance and one member must own rental property in Kansas City, but not any property containing public housing. Each commissioner will receive a stipend of $200 per month, plus reimbursement for expenses incurred in the discharge of their duties.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
