It's now up to Missouri Governor Mike Parson to sign a deal that could permanently kill a proposed landfill in south Kansas City.Last week, the City of Raymore approved a $3.7 million settlement with landfill developer Jenny Monheiser, owner of KC Recycle and Waste Solutions.The Missouri House of Representatives approved the deal on Tuesday. It also expands a current half-mile buffer zone between any future Missouri landfill and a large-populated area, to one mile.Monheiser spoke to KMBC 9 Investigates on Thursday about why she came to the table to negotiate with the City of Raymore."I feel like it was the right thing to do to listen to what people were saying," she said. "At the end of the day, that's what we've always said that we will do."Landfill opponents say the project would have affected tens of thousands of people in the southern part of the Kansas City metro for decades. Monheiser believed the landfill would have been safe.But fierce grassroots efforts, city government intervention, and a political action committee's opposition frustrated her plans.KMBC asked if Monheiser felt she owed anyone in the community an apology."I feel like I am incredibly sad that people were scared," she said. "I think that fear was based off of information that wasn't fully accurate, and for that I'm sorry that that's what they went through."If Governor Parson signs off on House Bill 1751, Monheiser will receive $3.7 million from the City of Raymore. She gets to keep some land while dropping her bid for a landfill.Community members have asked how much she stands to profit.Monheiser said she is not profiting or being made whole and is still calculating whether she will lose money."I don't know exactly where we're going to land," she said. "But, close."Landfill opponents, meanwhile, are grateful the threat is almost over."For me, more so, it was our health," said Hanah Ammon who lives near the proposed landfill and worked as a board member with the Kill the Fill political action committee to stop the landfill threat."We're thrilled," said Stop the Landfill Coalition president Rick Meyers on Tuesday.Meyers, Ammon, and thousands of others fought from day one for kids in the area, the environment, and the future of residents."Why did that ever cross anybody's mind that this was an ok site to do this?" Meyers said. Meyers and Ammon also wanted to thank City ofRaymore leaders for stepping in to end the project for good.Ammon said she was grateful Monheiser came to the table."I think that's what we were hoping for was to find a resolution in all this," she said.Monheiser, meanwhile, believes Kansas City needs a landfill. She has plans to continue working on a proposal. She has not revealed where it may go or when it may happen."We're going to find something that will work for the region, and move forward from there," she said.KMBC 9 Investigates asked what she would do differently in the future."I definitely think we will move forward with more community engagement prior to getting to this step in the process."To see our full coverage on this issue, check out KMBC's Chronicle: Dirty Kansas City.
