I asked Brad Nies of BNIM about this, since he's in the area. The following was his response. That explains why Kansas City shows up on LEEDuser's reference tool (above) but not in the Mizzou spreadsheet.Here's Brad:Wow I thought the USGBC fixed that.  We've told them several times about this.

The issue stems from the fact that the USGBC has a hard time understanding that the USGBC Greater Kansas City Chapter (now Central Plains Chapter) has the Western side of the state of Missouri as part of their territory.

They lumped all of our regional priority credits into the state of Kansas.  Last I dealt with this (over a year ago) we found that if the person searched Kansas they would find the zip codes for Western Missouri.

Having St Louis oversee the green things in Western Missouri would be like having New York City controlling green things in Boston.

Thanks to my friend Brad! I should have started there. I'll follow up with him. USGBC called me today - less than a 24 hour turn around. Evidently they have trouble updating their posted list. I was told that the RP credits indicated on the LEED Online Scorecard are correct. She will confirm in an email along with the threshold requirements.
