| Your Chance to Weigh In on Permitting |

 The KCMO City Planning & Development Department is undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of its processes and performance. A consultant, Zucker Systems, has been engaged to assist with this project. This evaluation will include all functions of the Department, and its interaction with development projects of any size -- including planning approval, land development and building permit functions. Of foremost importance is how the department meets the needs and expectations of its customers. Part of this evaluation will include a forum that is open to the public to provide input.
PUBLIC MEETING: Feb. 5th--7pm--City Hall, 26th Floor
