How can I become a member?

The governing body of the agency, subdivision, or taxing entity signs an Interlocal Agreement and Member Profile with KCDA. The Interlocal Agreement and Member Profile are then mailed to KCDA for approval by the Board of Directors and the signature of the Executive Director. Once approved, a copy will be returned to you for your records. Interim membership is available with a faxed copy, with confirmed membership beginning with the receipt of the original Interlocal Agreement.
