Pub Talks with Mayor Kate

Understanding City Revenue: How Independence Is Funded

Before we begin the next city budget cycle, Mayor Kate is inviting residents to better understand how the city of Independence receives funding — and to share thoughtful ideas about future revenue opportunities.

This public meeting will:

• Break down where city dollars come from

• Explain restricted vs. flexible funds

• Clarify common misconceptions

• Invite community ideas for responsible revenue generation


This is not a debate about past decisions — it’s an opportunity to build shared understanding and explore creative, community-aligned solutions.

Everyone is welcome.
