I want to meet with the City Manager and have Spencer and his oversight team in the meeting
The city manager has an assistant that lied in a public hearing.
There is an undeniable discrepancy between the August 2025 application you provided (1.90% requested) and what the City Manager's office, Braxton Copley, the resolution, and the council ultimately acted on (1.5% presented as "as requested in the Petition").
Under the Kansas Community Improvement District Act (K.S.A. 12-6a26 et seq.), the owners' petition controls the rate. The city cannot unilaterally lower it without an amended petition from the applicant. The most plausible explanation is that California Crossing LLC (or their counsel) quietly revised the petition between the August filing and the November "application received" date Copley referenced, dropping it to 1.5% before Resolution 9745 was drafted. No public notice, amendment document, or explanation of that change appears in the resolution, meeting packet, or news coverage.
