Luckily here in Kansas City we didn't have a really hot summer like we've had in the past... but prepare yourself for next year!
Kansas City Power and Light (KCPL) is seeking to raise electrical usage by 17%. Yes you read right!
We've just experienced an increase from Missouri Gas Energy (MGE) and now KCPL is going to raise their rates!
The rate increase is suppose to take place next summer and they have filed in Missouri and Kansas to raise rates for 800,000 customers.
In 2005 Gladstone voters approved a 39-cent property tax increase. That tax increase will begin showing up in your personal property tax bill this year.
The City Council has voted to set the city's 2008 tax levy at 93 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. So in other words if you buy a new car that cost $25,000 you are going to pay about 32.00 more in personal property taxes beginning this year.
This voter approved raise in taxes gave Gladstone leaders the authority to set the tax levy no higher than 93 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. Up until this year Gladstone council decided to stay at the existing tax rate of 54-cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
The reason for the decision to raise it is unexpected expenses which includes the May 2 tornado which cost the city more than $357,000 in payroll costs and repairs to city-owned facilities. In addition salt for road treatment went up $75,000 and fuel cost for city vehicles went up $71,000 over this past year.

I've lived in Kansas City all my life. It's a wonderful city with great homes and areas to live.
Thirteen Years Experience in Non-Profit
I've dedicated thirteen years to Kansas City's non-profit community.
Community Development Professional
In 1999, I was the recipient of the National Jan Mitchell Community Development Award from the National Friends of Public Broadcasting.
Outreach Professional
I've brought the community together in Kansas City addressing topics such as race, religion, ethics, the digital divide, addiction, sexual orientation and suicide prevention.
Community Action
In response to the 9-11 tragedy, I developed a community action tool Positive Steps in Tragic Times to assist parents in identifying stress and trauma in their children. This tool was disseminated to teachers and educators in the greater Kansas City area.
Community Addiction Task Force
I worked with over 30 area agencies and organizations to bring awareness to addiction in Kansas City, referring individuals to area resources for treatment.
Kansas City Real Estate: You have my commitment to consider your needs just as important as those of my family.
In Kansas City Real Estate I've worked with First Time Buyers as well as individuals who've sold 6 homes. Each transaction is unique and should be treated as such! I can work as a Buyers Agent or Sellers Agent in Missouri and Kansas. My listings have spanned from Mission, Kansas to Liberty to Independence, to Grandview.
Statistics show that over 80% of the buyers currently are First Time Buyers....and what a smart decision they are making in buying a home! I've worked with multiple first time buyers and was there every step of the way!! Allow me to share the buying or selling experience with you!
I don't just service clients, I make life-long relationships!
Fran, we can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you spent
on helping us sell and buy our new home. We will never try to sell
"By Owner" again. You handled our situation professionally and efficiently. You and Ken are truly a blessing! It was fun having a "new best friend"! :o)
___________ L. Holden
Thanks again Fran & Ken for helping us through our first home buying experience! You really made something that could have been scary, a fun and exciting time for us!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
_______ P. & M. Tooley, Kansas City, Missouri
Fran was very attentive to our needs - in fact she found our house for us and delivered our offer at 10:45 PM! That's what I call a hardworking, dedicated agent
