A City That Works In February 2009, the Mayor launched “A City That Works,” an important initiative aimed at focusing the attention of city government leaders on areas identified by Kansas City residents as needing improvement.
Each Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., the Mayor meets with the City Manager, a Department Head, and a member of the City Council to discuss these problem areas, and to identify projects where the investment of small amounts of funding is likely to produce large improvements in basic infrastructure and the delivery of services to City residents.
The Mayor’s plan for the City is to be smart with the money so that residents are more satisfied with city services causing more people to move into the city and fewer to move out. Being smart with the money includes how city government budgets and spends resident’s tax money.
The City That Works meetings are broadcast by Kansas City Channel 2, and can be viewed live, or at any time on Channel 2’s web page. Citizens are encouraged to view these meeting videos and provide feedback and ideas to the Mayor at tellthemayor@kcmo.org.
As part of the A City that Works initiative, citizen satisfaction surveys are conducted quarterly to evaluate progress. Prior to the initiative, surveys were conducted annually. Quarterly surveys allow city staff to know sooner if the changes they are making are having a direct impact on city services. You can find the most recent citizen satisfaction survey at the City Auditor's page.

Mayor Mark Funkhouser attended a town hall session on Aug. 26 at Harmony Vineyard Church in the Northland. Those who attended asked questions about city sidewalks, the Port Authority of Kansas City, the potential recall of the earnings tax and other issues. The statewide election on the earnings tax, which is being financed and pushed by St. Louis billionaire Rex Sinquefield, is scheduled for Nov. 2. "It's designed to just destroy Kansas City," Mayor Funkhouser told the crowd. "I'm opposed to it and will fight with every tool I have." |

Contact with the residents of Kansas City is what keeps me grounded. Real people living in the real world know what they want from their city government. I want to hear how you feel about the issues affecting your neighborhood, your businesses, and your families. Good communication is a two-way street. I hope we can keep all lanes open between my office and the people I serve.
