Public Improvements Advisory Committee (PIAC) Summer Hearings 2025
What is PIAC?
The Public Improvements Advisory Committee (PIAC), in cooperation with the Mayor and City Council, will be holding public hearings across the city. These hearings provide Council and the Committee the opportunity to hear from citizens about the City’s public improvement needs.
Examples of previously funded projects:
- Sidewalk repair/construction
- Playground and park enhancements
- Street resurfacing/reconstruction
- Community center improvements
- And much more!
The PIAC will use information gathered through the application and the public hearings to recommend projects to Council in the following Fiscal Year's budget. Funding for these public improvement projects comes from the one-cent sales tax. See below for a list of dates/times to find a meeting near you!

Consult the Council District Map.
When will I find out if my application is accepted?
You will receive notification of the final result of your application in April 2026. If your project is accepted, the funding will be allocated in May. However, please be aware that you might not see work being accomplished right away, especially if engineer review and design or conceptual design are required first as part of the scope. If funded for construction, projects can take anywhere from 3 months to over 2 years depending on the scope of the project. Reach out to the PIAC Office (816-513-1062) to request a status update on your funded projects at any time.
