Mike Burke, Attorney, representing the Home Builders Association of Kansas City. He said there is a great deal of interest for the ordinance. He gave a summary of concerns by the Home Builders Association regarding power lines. Slides were shown to show the difference of underground wiring.

Craig Porter, 404 Lakeview, Smithville, Missouri, representing Auburn Hills Development, spoke in support of the ordinance. Mike Rump, Kansas City Power & Light, 1201 Walnut, says he's not opposing the underground wiring, but the cost of doing this will be substantially more and would be willing to work with the City and developers for underground work. Councilman Ford asked how much it would cost per mile. Councilman Rowland expressed concerns regarding the maintenance/repair cost. Tim Crystal, Park Board Commissioner spoke in support of the resolution. Several home owners spoke in support of the underground power lines. Chuck Weber, supported the resolution and gave reasons why underground wiring would be more efficient. He went on to say in doing this there will be money savings and trimming trees would be accessible. Councilman Ford said that a committee (similar to a citizen's commission) would be appointed to study the issue further in which the committee would make a recommendation to the Council.
