Description

Notice to the City Clerk of the Palestine Community Improvement District’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026.

Summary

The Palestine Community Improvement District’s 2026 annual report to Kansas City documents its governance, services, finances, and planned projects. The CID board includes seven directors; Kansas City resolutions approved officer elections and nominated four directors—Rick Abel, Rhonda Iverson, Arfan Paroya, and Michael Riley—for four-year terms. During the fiscal year, the CID contracted with Metro Public Safety & Investigations for evening and overnight patrols serving district businesses and residents. Revenue totaled $127,978.11, including $56,818.96 in sales/use taxes and a $69,406 Kansas City loan. Expenses totaled $75,978.07, primarily security services, leaving a reported balance of $83,245.16. The FY2027 budget anticipates $784,000 in revenue, including $700,000 in Kansas City PIAC funding, for lighting, sidewalks, street trees, fencing, and related improvements. These records matter because they show how CID taxes, city assistance, and public decisions support safety and neighborhood infrastructure.
