The City of Weatherby Lake faces several specific fiscal and infrastructure shortfalls, primarily related to it’s unique status as a residential-only municipality. The city has a limited tax base which consists entirely of single-family residences with no commercial, industrial, or business property which the city would benefit from sales tax revenues. Having these short falls forces a heavy reliance on residential property taxes and fees. This year the city has two tax levy proposals on the ballot if passed these would sustain our city operations. Another budget area of concern is our public safety enforcement. Like many other small police departments in Missouri, Weatherby Lake suffers staffing gaps to provide 24/7 coverage as it struggles to attract and maintain qualified police officers.
I have an impressive legacy of service to the Weatherby Lake community. Having lived and served here for over three decades, I have witnessed significant changes in our community from the growth of the residential landscape to the evolving safety needs of our community. I possess a dual perspective as both a long-term neighbor and a law enforcement officer which is invaluable to the fabric of our close-knit community.
