ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Kansas City Manager's Office issued only an opinion with no fiscal impact statement.
Oversight assumes cities would realize savings from postage cost in an amount equal to the difference of the cost of regular mail versus the cost of registered or certified mail with a return receipt requested. The amount of savings would be dependent upon the number of owners of real property and licensed businesses located in the proposed Special Business District. Current law requires cities when establishing, enlarging or decreasing area of a Special Business District to notify all property owners of record in the district by registered or certified mail that a hearing will be held concerning the Special Business District. This proposal would allow notification of the hearing to be made by regular mail. Oversight will show fiscal impact as a positive unknown. Oversight expects cost savings for any city to be minimal and less than $ 100,000 in a given year.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This act removes the requirement that notices of hearings on establishing, enlarging or decreasing a Special Business District be mailed by registered or certified mail with
return receipt attached. It allows such notices to be sent by regular mail.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
