Very weak, city government that lacks intelligence and responsibility. Mayor and alderman won’t address problems such as potholes, street repairs, and our ridiculous trash service. Trucks put recycled and regular trash all together. What’s the point of recycling if you’re not going to recycle. City spent millions of our tax money on an enormous building and trash bins they didn’t need. City won’t take responsibility for dumpsters owned by apartment complexes, so we have to look at garbage and litter. Read your ordinance policy. If you’re not going to follow it then write a new one. Make them build fences around them. Do something! They want our city to be neat and tidy but wont take the responsibility to fix what they can. Many homeowners leave the new bins on their porches, by the side of their houses, and some in the front yard. Neat and tidy, I think not. A ex-mayor leaving a 5 star review to boost ratings is a complete joke. If they used their heads, Platte City would be beautiful again with our tax dollars used for more important things instead of being wasted to satisfy their own...
Read moreI had water turned on what was apparently the last day of the billing period, and they are charging me for 1000 gallons of water. I didn't even move in until several days after water was turned on and the water was turned on in the afternoon! So charging for 1000 gallons for zero usage. I emailed the front office woman and explained the situation which led no where. Her response was "I'm sorry but it's city ordinance". Another admin person didn't even respond when I emailed to ask about removing the bogus charge. So regretting moving here from KC.
Avoid Platte City...
