Jackson County Executive Frank White says he is not in communication with the Kansas City Chiefs or Kansas City Royals.

The Jackson County Legislature met on Monday.

Responding to a question from Jackson County legislator Manny Abarca, White said there are "no new strategies about how to keep them in Jackson County."

He said the county is monitoring reports and statements from the teams, including Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt's comments about a potential new stadium for the Chiefs.

"We're paying attention to the teams, and we're paying attention to the articles we read," White said. "We're responding to that statement this afternoon."

On Monday, a Kansas committee initiated the process of developing a STAR Bond proposal that could entice the Chiefs or Royals to move across state lines, but White said Jackson County would not rush the process.

"We're just waiting for the right opportunity," White said. "It's just been a few weeks, so we just give it a little time. Everyone has to take time to reassess where they are and I don't think that process can be rushed."
