Kansas City’s budget situation is currently holding up despite challenges from COVID-19, but council members are preparing for a scenario that could get worse.
So far, there have been no layoffs or furloughs of city employees and a $1.7-billion budget was passed at the end of March, though the city is experiencing a hiring freeze.
