Chamber Encourages Voters to Make Educated Votes on Aug. 2 Ballot Issues
YES VOTE
On Tuesday, Aug. 2, Lee’s Summit voters will be presented with two ballot questions. The first is a question regarding the continuation of the Out-of-State Motor Vehicle Sales Tax. The second question is asking voters to consider extending the quarter-cent parks sales tax for 15 years to fund future capital projects and operations.

No Yes
Vehicle Sales Tax: Voters will be asked whether or not to discontinue the collection of the city’s sales tax on motor vehicles, trailers, boats and outboard motors purchased from out-of-state dealers. Voting “no” would allow continued collection of existing sales taxes and also would allow licensed Lee’s Summit car dealers to stay competitive with those located out of the state. More importantly, this does not authorize a new sales tax, simply a continuation. Lee’s Summit Parks Sales Tax: The Lee’s Summit Chamber is asking the voters to vote “yes” on the extension of the quarter-cent parks sales tax for 15 years to fund future capital projects and operations. Revenues raised will go towards park development, additional practice space, park improvements, an outdoor adventure park, splash pad, wave pool, ice rink and so much more. The citizens of Lee’s Summit took the first huge step in passing the first sales tax back in 1996 and with your support, can continue to make Lee’s Summit a great place to live, work, play and raise a family by voting for the extension of the Parks sales tax.
For a detailed explanation of each of the above ballot issues, visit cityofls.net. Be sure to get out and make an educated vote on August 2. If you have questions about either of the ballot issues, contact Matt Baird, director of business and governmental relations, at 816.524.2424 or mbaird@lschamber.com.

Clothing – articles having a taxable value of $100 or less School supplies – not to exceed $50 per purchase Computer software – taxable value of $350 or less Personal computers – not to exceed $1,500 Computer peripheral devices – not to exceed $1,500 Graphing calculators – not to exceed $150

Member Events & News Michelle Uptegrove of LS R-7 Named KC Regional Teacher of the Year Michelle Uptegrove, life skills teacher at Cedar Creek Elementary, was selected as one of six Kansas City Regional Teachers of the Year in July. As a Regional Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Uptegrove will compete for Missouri Teacher of the Year for 2016-17. The Missouri Teacher of the Year will be announced in August. The state’s winner, as well as all regional winners, will be honored at a ceremony in Jefferson City. “The pool of nominees was rich with stories of those making a difference in our schools each day,” said Dr. Teresa Tulipana of the University of Missouri-Kansas City who helps coordinate the regional recognition. “Your nomination, however, rose to the top as an individual who carries a passion for teaching, a dedication to the profession and a drive to ensure all students achieve success.”
Mrs. Uptegrove was named Lee’s Summit R-7 School District Teacher of the Year during April at a community reception hosted by the school district and the Lee’s Summit Chamber. An educator for 23 years, she teaches children with special needs at Cedar Creek Elementary. Mrs. Uptegrove previously taught in the life skills program, worked as a resource teacher for learning disabilities at Prairie View Elementary and worked for three years in the Blue Springs School District. Nomination forms highlighted Uptegrove’s leadership skills, empathy and advocacy for all children. “Michelle’s passion for diversifying and including all students in the public education system goes above and beyond,” said a coworker. “The pure love she has for these kids is admirable.”
