City Council Meeting 09/28/2026

The City of Raymore held a City Council meeting on September 28, 2026, where key procurement and economic development matters were discussed. The council approved a contract with QK Inc. for on-call engineering services, selected through a competitive RFQ process, to support various city infrastructure needs including transportation and stormwater projects. Additionally, the council approved the issuance of taxable industrial revenue bonds totaling $77.55 million for the construction of Building 6 at the Raymore Commerce Center South, a large speculative industrial warehouse project by VanTrust Real Estate. The bond issuance supports infrastructure and development costs but does not constitute city debt, with payments made by the developer. The council discussed the economic impact, tax abatement terms, and anticipated job creation associated with the project. Other agenda items included consent approvals for stormwater culvert acceptance, reappointments to city commissions, and updates on city projects and events. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for litigation matters.
