- **Event Description**: Decisions About Us Must Include Us.About this EventCommunity Forum: What Happened With the J*il Decision and Why Our Voices MatterOn January 23rd, Mayor Quinton Lucas called for an emergency same-day vote to change the location of Kansas City’s planned municipal J*il, a process normally reserved for true emergencies.City Council members were given almost no notice.Despite years of discussion pointing to the I-70 &amp; U.S. 40 site, the Council, with no community engagement, voted to move the J*il to Front Street, located just 3,000 feet from Frontier School.This decision happened without community dialogue, and without transparent public process.Why We’re Gathering on 1/29This forum exists because our communities especially students, parents, and NorthEast Side residents, were left out of the conversation.We will:Break down what happened and why it mattersClarify facts vs. talking pointsHear from impacted community membersDiscuss next steps for advocacy, safety, and accountabilityKey Points You Should KnowSame-day emergency votes are rare and usually reserved for real emergencies — this was not one.Council members Rea, Melissa Robinson, and Eric Bunch voted against the measure, citing lack of transparency.Rea stated:“It was alarming that the mayor chose same-day adoption with no community engagement… This decision was not made in good faith.”Many in the community still do not have basic information about the costs, safety impacts, school proximity, or planning timeline.Even the floodplain cost report that is being used to justify the move is not finished, meaning the public is being asked to accept incomplete information.Mayor Lucas has stated the move was about saving money, but demolishing the tow lot, environmental costs, and other factors remain unclear.The Bigger IssueWhether one agrees with the site or not, the process raises real questions:Why the rush?Why the secrecy?Why were parents, schools, and residents not informed?Why was even the Council bypassed until the last minute?When a project involves schools, youth, and public dollars, the community deserves more than 20 minutes’ notice.This Forum Is for:Frontier familiesNE residentsEducators &amp; youth advocatesCivic leaders &amp; organizersAnyone concerned with transparency, safety, and public processBecause Public Safety Includes Public Voice.
