Happy Spring, The coming of spring, for some of us, will signal the chance to participate in some of the City’s great outdoor events and activities from parades, festivals and concerts to volunteer opportunities. Inside this issue of the City Scope are some of those opportunities. For more news about what’s happening in Lee’s Summit, visit lsparks.net, cityofls.net, and watch lstv.
Spring will also be an opportunity for Lee’s Summit voters to go to the polls on Tuesday, April 2. Our residents will be asked whether or not to approve a no-tax increase bond initiative to fund two questions on the topics of cultural arts and road improvements. Learn the details about the bond issue in a special section on pages 2 and 3 of the City Scope. You can also visit cityofls.net for information about the bond election. The City’s new brand, ‘Yours Truly’ and highlights of the campaign and collateral pieces that began in February are covered in this issue of the newsletter as well. Our, ‘Yours Truly’ campaign isn’t just a slick marketing slogan. It reflects the kind of community we really are. It is a place where a sense of community really does count, a place where we look out for one another and celebrate all those things that bring us together as neighbors.
Yours Truly, Mayor Randy Rhoads
