To at some point to have 3 ambulances FULLY staffed at locations scattered both north and south in Raytown will obviously mean a much improved service call response time for our citizens than waiting for KCFD to be dispatched and then make the drive into Raytown. Also Chief Matt Mace and the Fire Board have actually modified the transistion path to join the Fire Division from the EMS ranks and it is my understanding several EMS personnel are exploring that outstanding opportunity. I say thank you to all concerned who put forth the time, energy, and effort to craft a much improved service plan that will assist our citizen’s in a time where time and experience will be crucial.

So yes, things are going to be reorganized and tough decisions are going to be made. But this is what you advocated for and some tried to prevent. Elections have consequences and you had a hand in it. Worry about Independence please.

This Tuesday night will be a very important night for the city of Raytown. The Board of Alderman will be deciding what they should do about the budget also what to do about the 350 TIF. Those that truly care about Raytown should make this meeting. I know that I am going to do my best to try and make this meeting myself.<br />The last meeting I attended was very disturbing when the Raytown Ambulance Service was formally handed over to the Fire District with out any input from anyone from the Raytown Ambulance Services. These people have worked in our city for many years. Some of them live right here. To watch then all be treated so coldly was shocking to me. I find it hard to believe this will save the people of Raytown money. To top it all off in order for it to all go through the voters must vote on this yet the board just gave them all their walking papers with out the voters blessing. The Kansas City Star said we had financial mismanagement and a lack of accountability. Now we are going to watch them spend one brief meeting talking about the Raytown budget and how they are going to refinance the very worst TIF the state of Mo. has ever seen. Again it looks like it will be another very disturbing meeting. Hope to see a room full of people who care. Thank You!
