City Council legislative sessions

The City Council legislative session is held every Thursday at

Business sessions are at 1:45 p.m. on the 10th floor of City Hall. The public may attend any of these meetings, but public testimony is heard only at committee sessions.

All committee meetings and legislative sessions are aired on the Kansas City Government Channel, KCCG-TV2, via cable, or live online.

Tax dollars at work

The City provides a vast array of services to its citizens. These services are funded by property, sales, earnings, profits and utility taxes; enterprise charges; grants and other revenue sources. The services provided by the City are categorized into six major programmatic groups: economic vitality; environmental and structural preservation; public safety and protection; beautification and recreation; policy management; and health and neighborhood services. More than 75 percent of the City’s expenditures occur in the first three groups.
