Watch 36 second March 14, 2013 video while County Commission Chair Eilert and County Commissioner Peterson are joined with County Commissioner Allen laughing about transparency in government. They are laughing at the Kansas Legislature considering changes to existing State law via Senate Bill 10. http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2013_14/measures/documents/sb10_00_0000.pdf
Immediately after taking control of The Commission in January 2011 Mr. Eilert mandated in a nearly secret, unrecorded or transcripted meeting held off site of County property that County staff would no longer produce written transcripts of County meetings as historically done. The justification was $25,000 per year in out-sourcing this written document. We learned of this only because of our investigation regarding nearly secret meetings http://nolathe.net/2011/02/26/our-clear-and-present-danger/ .
.
Written transcripts of all County business ended in February 2011. At the beginning of the March 3, 2011 Board of County Commissioners’ Meeting we made this presentation.
.
At the beginning of the following March 10, 2011 Commissioners’ Meeting the County accepts “Transparency Award”.
.
NOlathe presentation followed.
.
The County continued to receive the “Sunshine Award” for “Transparency” in 2012 and 2013 explaining the laughter.
.
Next posting will examine this-

Yep, you read that right. We were wrong recently when accusing Chairman Eilert of funny math. The then known funding by Johnson County to the Enterprise Center was $150,000 annually. The numbers and justification used by Chairman Eilert did not add up or make cents. But in his rush to earn this apology, we learn what the real numbers are. Not visible in this video clip, a question by Commissioner Toplikar is asked to the County Manager and expanded on by Chairman Eilert.
Now the math works. But we also learn that tax payers of Johnson County are funding the Enterprise Center an annual sum of $450,000 and have done so for the last ten years. That’s $4,500,000 over ten years to create an unsubstantiated 743 jobs. Incubating new companies is not the job of government. Johnson County Government is not a venture capital business. The sole purpose of Johnson County Government is to provide the current tax payers with necessary and essential services as required and that does not include picking the next Solyndra.
A well-intentioned Staff member is the only speaker during the Public Comments period, albeit not “closed”.
The vote went as predicted and no surprise. The repeating justification “we already own the building.” As instructed, the pictorials presented by Staff already show significant square footage obligated to the Enterprise Center eliminating the need for annual requests thus funding it in perpetuity.
How many jobs does a closed library create?

Johnson County, Kansas Celebrates Global Warming “SNOW DAYS”
Posted in Agenda 21, Commissioner Eilert, JoCo Board of Commissioners, Kansas, Overland Park, tagged Agenda 21, Ed Eilert, Ed Peterson, George Soros, ICLEI, jason osterhaus, Jim Allen, JoCo BOCC, Johnson County, kansas, Overland Park, Suburbia Museum on February 25, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
The Johnson County Board of County Commissioners were scheduled to vote February 21, 2013 on substantial funding to replace a roof on a building destined “National Museum of Suburbia“. The purchase of and funding for these repairs were approved by the previous Commission in 2011. With one existing Commissioner consistently voting “NO” and with two newly elected Commissioners which ran through the election process opposed to this boondoggle, the anticipated vote was 4 in favor 3 opposed.
The evening of February 20, 2013 local media broadcasts non stop on area severe Winter weather conditions, road closures, warnings “stay at home” and school districts through the region announced closure. In what should have been a victory speech for Global Warming “our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas were witnessed today by declaring County business as usual closed due to inclement weather and significant snow accumulation.”
In what should have been a high tide moment on Global Warming, we observed a “pier review” during low tide. Chair Eilert tip-toed and danced his way to avoid a two-two vote blocking this funding.
Just 4 days later, a similar but just slightly less severe storm threatens the area. With school districts closed and no scheduled Commission Meeting for tomorrow, this was displayed on the County site before 3:45 PM today.
Admittedly I have to take some responsibility for this. Two years ago Chair Eilert eliminated written transcripts for all official Commission Meetings. When presenting to the Commission on Global Warming I have often referred to “peer review” science. I never believed he would wait to see who showed up as “pier review”.
All joking aside, it appears that County employees showed up for work just so tu-tu Eilert would allow them to go home following a non-vote cooling event. These same “Need to work forty hours a week, left their kids at home and risked their lives to go to watch a ballerina folks”. For all the graduates of “Speech Crafters” and “Toast Masters” that were taught to think of your audience as being naked……….. Think Eilert in a tu-tu.
Looking forward to February 28, 2013.

For the next 3 days through February 20, 2013 this posting will be updated daily to build some suspense and speculation as to the outcome and conclusions. For NOlathe subscribers, visit frequently as after this initial Part I of the King Louie Eddie Building culminates into our presentation to the Johnson County Board of Commissioners on February 21, 2013.
2/17/2013
On June 17, 2009 the Johnson County Board of Commissioners had this budgetary discussion Econ Center developing the 2010 County Budget. Item #5 records the discussion and this http://lims.jocogov.org/sirepub/mtgviewer.aspx?meetid=510&doctype=AGENDA accesses the video regarding the Enterprise Center funding of $150,000. Thankfully this meeting occurred before written documentation of meetings was eliminated so in this case we are able to display both the document and the video of the Commissioners’ discussion. Briefly……
Then District Commissioner and retired Overland Park Mayor Eilert questions whether this City of Lenexa located project should be funded at all and insists if funded only one year at a time.
Then District Commissioner and retired Overland Park Mayor Eilert asks that this City of Lenexa located project request be marked for identification to be rejected if necessary.
What about Enterprise Center annual budget?
Video (summation 2 min) of this June 17, 2009 Committee of the Whole discussion.
Updated and continued February 18, 2013
So Mr. Wiggins, how many jobs has Enterprise Center created in the last 10 years?
So with an annual budget of $1,200,000
Admittedly we do not know if that is a good, bad or indifferent number to create 743 jobs. Unfortunately neither did the County Commissioners because no one asked. Nor did they ask what kind of jobs? What were the median annual salaries and contribution (if any) to The County? What was the life expectancy of these jobs? Were they still functioning 1 year, 2 years or 5 years later? Was this ONE job created 743 times?
Now we fast forward to 2013. Since November 17, 2011 The County Commissioners have unmercifully been beaten up by their constituents following closure of libraries for lack of funds and simultaneously purchasing a dilapidated, asbestos filled building on the verge of repossession and/or condemnation. Justification……relocate the County Museum.
As a result of the November 2012 Elections, the two most outspoken proponents of this purchase no longer sit on The Commission. Was this an election issue? You betcha!
On February 14, 2013 the stars aligned and both the Enterprise Center and the King Louie Eddie Building entered the same conversation. That day we learned just how much sculptors have in common with politicians, taking a ball of clay and creating something completely different while arguing it’s still that ball of clay.
In between chastising the two new Commissioners for questioning the logic behind the King Louie Eddie Building purchase, Artiste Eilert (now County Commission Chair and retired Overland Park Mayor) puts on display his newest ball of clay.
Unfortunately I can not refer to and copy transcripts because that was the first administrative policy Chairman Eilert enacted. But paraphrasing he stated that 60% to 70% of this City of Lenexa project funds provided by The County are spent on rent. Moving it to Overland Park would pay for the building’s initial purchase in just 8 years. Commission Chair and retired Overland Park Mayor did not mention that the $3,650,000 transaction in February 2012 was only to make the building weather proof, but let’s go with his number. Keep in mind that beyond Eilert’s part-time career as a politician, he also has been a part-time stock broker for a National firm and a part-time Director for a large area Bank.
In total it’s obvious why Mr. Eilert has been unsuccessful in securing full-time employment. Let’s get back to Enterprise Center for a few more moments.
Information on Enterprise Center is somewhat limited to http://www.ecjc.com/s/656/start.aspx . The intended purpose is to incubate new business developement and entrepeneurism. Notable cause but not one for government. On a National level we witness the failure of governments picking winners and losers. This is the currently listed Board
Although we can not attest to the accuracy of this list as being current, it is the one posted. Paying attention to the two highlights we can begin to understand why Commission Chair and retired Overland Park Mayor Eilert now promotes moving the current City of Lenexa project to Overland Park. Ben Craig (now retired) was also the Chairman of an Overland Park bank that Mr. Eilert worked part-time as a Director. Mary Birch is the former Executive Director of Overland Park Chamber of Commerce, currently Legislative contact at an Overland Park law firm, a political wanna-be and the person Mr. Eilert uses most to introduce him at major events. One might question why there are some insurance and real estate brokerage companies directing job creation but that’s for another day.
From the November 2011 through December 2012 discussions held in public view and recorded, Enterprise Center is not mentioned once. In 2009 District Commissioner and retired Overland Park Mayor Eilert insisted the City of Lenexa located project if funded at all, would be year by year. In 2013 Commission Chair and retired Overland Park Mayor Eilert wants to give this project a “permanent home” in Overland Park. Can only speculate as to who contacted whom and when, this appears to be yet another and more desperate attempt to camouflage and deflect what was from the onset an unethical and possibly criminal act.
Updated and continued February 19, 2013
-
NOlathe desires to expand beyond current Henpecked Acres facilities.
-
By providing us with a permanent home would improve the time efficiencies of processing KORA (Kansas Open Record Act) requests. Delivering requests by hand, just down the hall would reduce response time from 9 days down to the statutory 3 days.
-
County would provide FREE property insurance and utilities.
- Would need a key to the front door though cuz may need access at unusual hours.
How many non-government employees currently work in a County owned facility? Have the ‘legal eagles’ scrutinized this and what are the consequences of this precedent? Can I pick which office space desired?
During Chair Eilert’s St. Valentines Day beat down of questioning Commissioners, he stated this subject has been fully vetted and debated in full public view. He stated the problem is not what The Commission has done but how various media has reported it. I assume he was including The Wall Street Journal http://nolathe.net/2012/10/10/faux-board-of-johnson-county-commissioners-kansas/. So let’s look at what we know…….
- Following the closure of the King Louie Building in 2009 The City of Overland Park failed to vigorously enforce building codes even though rapid and continued deterioration was obvious from the street. http://nolathe.net/2012/11/11/king-louie-overland-park-and-dysfunctional-enforcement/
- During 2010 and 2011 asbestos was allowed to escape the building and critters to habitate in the building.
- In 2010 both an engineering and environmental analysis was contracted by the owners. These reports clearly identified the need of approximately $1,500,000 in immediate restoration just to make the building sound and sellable. http://nolathe.net/2012/10/17/who-did-what-and-when-why/
- During late Summer 2011 then District Commissioner Lindstrom personally contacts the Museum Committee to inform them that friends of his are reducing the price on the King Louie Building currently brokered by his former employer. http://nolathe.net/2012/02/15/joco-museum-of-40000000-pigs-in-a-poke/
- September 2011 Museum Committee produces a substantial proposal specifically planning for Suburbia Museum beginning in 2013. http://nolathe.net/2012/02/15/joco-museum-of-40000000-pigs-in-a-poke/
- November 10, 2011 Staff make presentation to The Commission requesting funds to purchase the King Louie Building, funds to “button up” the building, relocating the current County Museum and details of expanding in to the Suburbia Museum. Two issues identified urgency: 1) Building owners required this sale be completed before year-end. 2) Building conditions required immediate attention. http://nolathe.net/2012/03/11/ya-right-like-steve-howe-would-do-anything-about-this/
- November 17, 2011 without knowing how they would pay for it, Commissioners voted 6-1 approving the $2,000,000 property purchase Real Estate Purchase Contract and $1,600,000 for immediate repairs. http://nolathe.net/2012/10/17/who-did-what-and-when-why/ http://nolathe.net/2012/03/11/ya-right-like-steve-howe-would-do-anything-about-this/
- December 15, 2011 owners pay off existing mortgage on property. http://nolathe.net/2012/12/07/museums-record-timing-which-is-everything-in-suburbia-johnson-county
- Late December 2011 Johnson County pays $2,000,000 cash from Reserves to complete purchase.
- February 9, 2012 Johnson County leases property to bank for $3,650,000. Item_108788Metcalfleaseagreement
- February 9, 2012 Johnson County leases back the property from the same bank on a lease/purchase agreement with quarterly payments.
- February 9, 2012 Johnson County repays $2,000,000 to Reserves.
- February 9, 2012 Johnson County creates bank specified accounts as required. 8788MetcalfDebtServiceAug2012 8788MetcalfProjectSpending 8788MetcalfProjectSpending
- March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November 2012 the only activity is The County making payments to the bank.
- December 13, 2012 Commission approves $915,000 for the immediate repairs identified in November 2011 (13 months earlier). NOlathe assumes that the CIP (Capital Improvement Project) requirements delayed activities. http://nolathe.net/2012/12/19/damn-the-facts-expensive-king-louie-ahead/ There are other possible reasons The Commission conscientiously waited nearly a year to spend this borrowed money, or was it just plain incompetence?
- February 14, 2013 Commission includes agenda item for February 21, 2013 to approve $415,836 for partial roof replacement.
As previously stated, two of the more vocal Commissioners supporting this boon-doggle no longer sit as Commissioners. So listen to one of the new guys questioning the purchase and Chair Eilert’s response:
So just how could the media have got this whole thing so wrong? http://joco913.com/news/critics-question-johnson-countys-king-louie-purchase/
Final update February 20, 2013
The future of this “Cash Cow” may very well depend on “would you like mustard on that?”
Jack is a young lad living with his widowed mother. Their only means of income is a Cash Cow. But when this Cash Cow had been milked dry, Jack is sent to the market to sell it. On the way to the market he meets a crazy old guy who offers to give him “magic” beans in exchange for the cow.

Below is transcribed word for word the United Nations plan to secure food controlled and distributed through global governance. Within the total plan (Agenda 21) the farming families will be relocated to urban concentrations and their land used to feed the global populations for “food security”. Here is my favorite line “USA- Publications to help inform peasants and women of other countries access to land and strengthen weaknesses.” (aka what they learn here will be used elsewhere, you know the peasants) In the “partners” section you will find Soros money everywhere!
By limiting ownership and/or use of rural lands/property, three major controls are established:
- High density populations are easier to control versus “sprawl”
- Property/land rights equals access and control of water.
- Communal farming controls the what, when, for who and value of production and farming methods.
Kansas took the lead in condemning Agenda 21 on a National basis. Just farmers with pitchforks huh?

Additional Background Information
Around the globe and at community level, securing access to agricultural land has been identified as a crucial factor in addressing the issue of food insecurity facing over 800m people in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. The Distribution of agricultural land in some communities in these countries is highly skewed from communal ownership to a more economic and profit oriented at the expense of food production by social and economic factors, thereby keeps many rural people locked in poverty. This situation is resulting in land disputes and profiteering, allowing the affluent to have more opportunity and privilege to own and control land affairs than the less advantage people in the community, usually women.
Damn the facts, expensive King Louie ahead.

Museums record timing which is everything in suburbia Johnson County

Some months ago we visited the ‘Register of Deeds Office’ located on the first floor of the Johnson County Office Building and asked for documents associated with 8788 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park. Although this cost NOlathe staff nearly 15 minutes and $4.25 copying fees here is some of what we found.
On June 27, 2003 and years before going out of business, a Mortgage was filed on the property located at 8788 Metcalf Ave aka King Louie Building. The entire June 27, 2003 Mortgage may be viewed here.
Page 1- Property required to remain in tenantable condition.
Page 3- Pay mortgage due or forfeit property if condemned.
By now some of you may think “Ken has lost it. Too much hospital and too many meds have done him in. What does a 2003 mortgage have to do with the county purchasing an asbestos laden building in 2011?”
Well, let’s look at another document we found filed with the mortgage. December 15, 2011 Satisfaction of Mortgage
Do you remember on November 10 and 17 of 2011 the Commissioners were told that this had to be completed before year-end or the deal was off?
Do you remember the Real Estate Purchase Contract signed on November 17, 2011? Did you know the property had an existing mortgage that apparantly the Mitchell’s could not pay off and subject to loss?
Did you know that the referenced contract is considered a “Bankable Note” which means it could be used to borrow funds sufficient enough to pay off the mortgage on December 15, 2011 prior to year-end?
And then there is the previously posted lack of failed Public Safety inspections by The City of Overland Park. Well actually that is the recorded and saved failed Public Safety inspections by The City of Overland Park. Did you know The City of Overland Park has a Public Safety Committee that controls this file? Do you know who was the Chairperson in 2011?
WOW!! It gets even better before this year-end. And The Commissioners remain silent. What a shame.

Saving Johnson County for our children (in a museum).

In November 2011 we witnessed 6 of the 7 Johnson County Board of County Commissioners tripping over each other to support an unfunded $3.6 million purchase of an asbestos laden building (with gross conflicts of interests) that just had to be completed NOW (at the sellers’ request).
Then we watched how Chairman Eilert justified this unfunded expense as an investment and a great deal.
When The Wall Street Journal drew national attention to this unfunded project, Chairman Eilert stated that neither he nor any of the Commissioners were supportive, he was misquoted and the numbers had been exaggerated.
Now that Chairman Eilert’s (and the remaining fewer Commissioners’) Socialist In Chief Hussein Obama has been re-elected, we finally find the truth (or at least for now, momentary and readily available to further changes depending on several future outcomes that have yet to be shared or known because of tidal changes, moon phases, earthquakes, interest rates, taxable income, global warming, ELK Club Membership, Rotarian Luncheon dues, KU vs. KSU basketball odds to win what ever Conference they may or may not belong to in 2020, etc.) for 2013 or until Chairman Eilert is asked again: king-louie-purchase

Let’s start by taking a look at Overland Park’s code enforcement http://www.opkansas.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/726-property-maintenance.pdf with selected highlights below.
Next, look at the County’s assessment of King Louie at time of purchase and how $1,600,000 needs to be spent immediately. Button Up
Here is partial presentation supplied to the Commissioners 11/17/2011.
Under Kansas laws the definition of “reasonable person” appears several times. So as a “reasonable person” I submitted a lawful KORA (Kansas Open Records Act) request to The City of Overland Park for violations of the above ordinance filed to 8788 Metcalf aka King Louie. Expecting $100′s of dollars in expense for copying charges to me, I awaited a massive file. Here is what I received 8788metcalf with the two most recent reports highlighted below:
Documents show that according to Overland Park with their extensive safety ordinance in place and functioning, a total of $1,450 was required to prevent condemnation or severe violation compliance from 2008 through year end 2011 of this same King Louie debacle The County will spend $1,600,000 just to plan on how much more to commit, for public safety. This without the asbestos removal estimate? Oh ya, Kansas law requires the asbestos removal BEFORE the $1,600,000 renovations can occur!! Just being “reasonable” here.
We recently gave notice to the Commissioners to fix this, and soon. There has been no public effort to do so and with the elections now passed, we will do so for them with the courts’ help. Some really good stuff between Veterans’ Day 2012 and year end. In the court 2013.
DYSFUNCTIONAL OR SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT?
Might this be under the dysfunctional DA Howe’s Office of jurisdiction? Hate to be in his position. In violation of “Home Rule Charter” who all endorsed him for re-election again?
