212564P.pdf 08/15/2022 Mark One Electric Company v. City of Kansas City, Missouri
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-2564
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Kansas City restricts participation in its
Minority Business Enterprise and Women's Business Enterprise Program to
entities whose owner satisfies a personal net worth limitation; plaintiff,
a woman-owned business whose owner's personal net worth exceeded the
limit, challenged the program as unconstitutional. The program's net worth
limitation is a valid narrow tailoring measure, which is rational and
race- and gender neutral; the district court did not err in entering
judgment for the City.
