19,536 pounds of household hazardous waste collected!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Household Hazardous Waste Collection in Belton. Together, residents helped safely dispose of 19,536 pounds of household hazardous materials.

Proper disposal of items like paint, automotive fluids, batteries and household chemicals helps keep these materials out of the waste stream and protects our community and environment.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's collection event a success!

A meaningful moment took place in Belton today as Governor Mike Kehoe signed legislation that includes RJ's Law, named in memory of a young member of the Belton community.

RJ's Law establishes a Purple Alert System in Missouri to help locate missing individuals with developmental disabilities who may be in immediate danger and unable to return to safety without assistance.

Today's signing marks a meaningful step in honoring RJ's memory and helping protect others across Missouri.

As part of our series highlighting dedicated members of Belton’s government, we’re proud to feature Jay Kennedy - one of the faces driving positive change and progress in our community.

What’s your role with the City and how long have you been here?
I am the department head for Eagles Landing Golf Course, and I have been here since 1998. Originally, the City hired a management company to operate the golf course, and I was hired by that company to run the course. In 2004, the management company was purchased by another company, and the City decided to bring golf operations under its own management. I was asked to stay on and continue leading the department and golf course for the City.

What does a typical day look like for you?
Each day brings its own challenges. I handle many of the responsibilities you would expect from a department head, including paperwork, bills, staffing and other administrative tasks. At the same time, we operate a golf course, driving range and snack bar, so I also step in wherever extra support is needed to help keep things running smoothly.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I really enjoy the people I work with, not just in my department, but throughout every area of the City.

What’s one thing people might not know about the work you do?
I can operate every piece of equipment we use to maintain the golf course.

What project or accomplishment are you most proud of?
Being able to pay off the golf course's debt and maintain a positive fund balance is an incredible feeling, much like paying off your home. We have managed our funds incredibly well over the years and now own all of our assets with no debt.

Bulky item pickup occurs during the second full week of each month. Residents may place one bulky item, such as a couch or dresser, at the curb on their regular trash day. Because bulky items are collected by a separate truck, pickup may occur at a different time than regular trash service.
