Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners Ex Rel. Brown v. City of Lee's Summit

ALOK AHUJA, Judge.

The Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners (the “Board” or “Election Board”) appeals the circuit court’s judgment which concluded that the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, had the authority to request that an ordinance be placed on the ballot for voter approval at the November 7, 2006 election. Because we conclude that the issue presented on appeal is moot, and was moot at the time the circuit court issued its declaratory judgment, we remand this matter to the circuit court with directions to vacate its judgment and dismiss this action.
