Warm fall weather welcomed us to Kansas City for the annual MML conference. St. Charles set the entertainment standards high last year but KC met the challenge with an evening in the Light and Power District that featured KC barbeque, KC beer, KC music and KC sports mascots.
Conference sessions and speakers covered a variety of topics for municipalities across Missouri. St. Joseph city staff and council members weren't too surprised, though, when we all showed up at an afternoon session entitled "Coping with Financial Distress in Missouri."
This was Bruce Woody's first MML as City Manager. Turns out, he's a night owl like some of the rest of us.
