COMMUNICATION NO. 110420
Notice to the Mayor and City Council from the City Clerk
regarding Certificate of Sufficiency for the Initiative Petition regarding
Production of nuclear weapons components prohibited issued on May 24, 2011.
WHEREAS, A mandate for employment of a
minimum of 2,000 people has been provided by the city of Kansas City in selling
municipal bonds for up to $815 million to finance the new Kansas City Plant at
14500 Botts Road. The city’s Planned Industrial Expansion Authority
(PIEA), with members all appointed by the mayor of Kansas City, hold the legal
title to the facility.
Accordingly, the voters determine:
1) Production of new
environmentally sound energy or other environmental technologies which will
benefit the residents of the municipality and surrounding areas is recommended
as the preferred use of this facility, and
2) Production of any
component for nuclear weapons is strictly prohibited at the new facility at
14500 Botts Road, in order to prevent the contamination of ground, employees,
and regional watershed, as documented extensively at the current plant at
Bannister Federal Complex (Bannister & Troost).
