The signature forms will be ready early next week...I will let you know as soon as they are ready to roll.  Per the meeting minutes on Sept. 12, 2011, all the councilmembers were present, though Councilmember David White arrived 20 minutes after the meeting started (so he may or may not have been there during this particular item).  Here are the meeting minutes:  http://apps.opkansas.org/City-Government/Agendas-and-Minutes/City-C...  And here is the link to the other material available:  http://apps.opkansas.org/City-Government/Agendas-and-Minutes/#Sep2011

AFA also mentioned that there were relating documents from the Community Development Committee Meetings on July 6 and September 7, 2011.

Phillip Cosby of AFA and I have a meeting scheduled with Mayor Gerlach early next week.  I am going to ask to be allowed to present the petition to the Council (along with the supporters).  I will let you know how it goes.

Joanne.....I pretty well surmised this would be the outcome....remember, "Go away".....?  

But, good for you, you're not just doing that.....

I'd be curious to your follow up on what happened with Mayor Gerlach....am assuming that he simply is included (hiding behind?) with the City denying you the right....

However, do think you need to finish your prior story on him here, though.....this is a vetting and venting opportunity to let the people who come in here to Chips to know their 'leaders'......and, then, hopefully, pass it on to those in their Overland Park communities....

So, where do you have the form(s) for the Johnson County signatures to be signed?

Can we put "Weirdo" in front of or behind our signed names to validate Dana Wright on KMBZ?   ha.
