Policy

As Mayor, Mark Funkhouser relies on a lot of data to make his decisions. As a former auditor, Mayor Funkhouser is driven mostly by facts and numbers.

Mayor Funkhouser has a knowledgeable policy team in place to provide him with the information he needs. The policy team responds to requests from the Mayor for more information on everything from the city’s budget to economic development to reviewing city policies.

The Mayor also relies heavily on the policy team for his initiatives. The policy team manages the A City That Works initiative and helped guide the New Tools Task Force.

Where feasible we will post the policy team’s work product so that residents can see the quality of work they produce.

Mayor's Town Hall Aug. 26, 2010

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."

Communicate with Mayor Mark Funkhouser

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.
