Uh, Mayor, council colleagues, it is, uh, it is with great honor that I stand before you tonight for this proclamation and, uh, I think that was a fitting transition from our invitation to what we're doing next. But, uh, you know, as I've said so often, this is a year where, uh, Lexington really shines nationally and internationally. And, and, uh, some of that has come from, uh, the success our basketball team is having and, uh, some of those types of things. But we're here to honor, and to give honor, uh, to folks who, uh, for multiple decades have, have, uh, really held a banner very, very high and a standard very high. From 1988 to 1991 I had the good fortune of mi-, part of my college career being the Wildcat mascot at the university of Kentucky. Uh, and to hono- the national championship squad, uh, the 18th National Championship Squad, the University of Kentucky. And to know very personally what that means and the hard work that goes into an accomplishment like that, uh, I just wanna say, Well done. Very well done. Uh, I have a proclamation, uh, by the mayor, uh, that I wanna, wanna read to you. And then, uh, I'm gonna ask the mayor to come and, and, uh, represent this to, uh, T-Lyn Williamson.

Transcription by Rev.com. Page 2/17 ... way! Kentucky. The party don't start 'til I walk in. Kick start on the spot. Go, UK! Go, UK! Go, UK! Take on the old Kentucky home. Go, UK! Go, UK! Go, UK! Take on the old Kentucky home. Go, UK! Go, UK! Go, UK! Give it up for the University of Kentucky Cheerleaders! What you saw was two and a half minutes that took hours and weeks and months to perfect. And y- to win a national championship, you have to be perfect for two and a half minutes. And, uh, and that is an incredible display, uh, of athleticism and, uh, while our basketball cats certainly get a lot of credit for those national championships, this squad, over a number of decades, has won 18 national championships. It is the most decorated program at the University of Kentucky, and I am, I applaud this most recent, uh, group of people that have held that tradition up. Let me read this proclamation, please. Proclamation by Mayor Nim- Jim Newberry, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, to whom, to all whom these presents shall come: Whereas the University of Kentucky Cheerleading Squad, led by legendary coach Jomo Thompson, claimed an unprecedented 18th Universal Cheerleading Association National College Cheerleading Championship in January, and whereas UK cheerleading squads have an unparalleled record of excellence, winning national championships in 1985, '87, '88, '92, '95, '96, '97, '98, '99, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and placing second four times, and whereas the University of Kentucky cheer program is widely recognized as the finest program in America, and whereas members of the UK cheerleading squads are highly trained athletes, many of whom have been actively involved in cheerleading most of their lives, and whereas the cheerleading squads have frequently been featured on national television and in national magazines, and whereas, in addition to managing practice and coursework schedules, UK cheerleaders serve as ambassadors for the university, traveling across the country to represent UK at alumni functions, in local parades and various university-related events. Now, therefore, I, Jim Newberry, Mayor of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, do hereby proclaim February 25th, 2010 as the University of Kentucky Cheerleading Squad National Championship Day, and encourage all citizens to recognize the many accomplishments of the members of the UK cheerleading squad and the cheerleading program. Signed, Mayor Jim Newberry. Uh, if you wouldn't mind, T. Lynn, I would like for you to come up and, uh, and speak, if you would, just about this, uh, about this program, but, uh, would like for you to maybe take a picture with the mayor, uh, receiving this. Honored. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, you know, it's dangerous to give me a microphone. Uh, but I'll be brief. I promise. I, they, they think I can never be brief. You know, um, at the end of last year, I started with that squad. We graduated some significant athletes, and it's always, "Oh my gosh, what are we gonna do next year?" It's like when our basketball team loses several seniors or several people who've only been there a year and don't stay for the next year. You wonder what's gonna happen. And, and you know what happens? Um, the coach challenges those that are there to step up. And that's what happened this year. After we graduated those seniors, then we came back and started a year and, and Jeremy, one of our biggest, strongest guys, uh, uh, tore his ACL and he was out. So it was like, "What are we gonna do?" Uh, but you challenge great athletes to rise to the occasion. And that's what Jomo did. He challenged them to rise to the occasion, and they did. Uh, we do not set our standards to go to nationals to, uh, beat any other squad. We go, we go there, uh, to unquestionably be the national champions. We set our standards for routines that we've done in the past, and always in the past, we set our standards by our, our routine in, in 1997, the squad that Jomo was on. And they did a great routine that year. Uh, but I will tell you, the routine this squad this year was the finest, most perfect routine any Kentucky cheerleading squad has ever done. So we now have a new standard. So next year, it will be, "Beat 2010." We don't try to beat anybody else. We just try to beat ourselves from the previous year. So that will be our goal for next year, is to do better than we did this year. Uh, but they came together as a team, they performed as athletes, and they did a great job, and I'm proud of them, obviously. I have known, um, T. Lynn Williamson since he was an assistant dean in the Dean of Students Offices many, many, many, many years ago. And I don't think either of us thought we would be here tonight. But I am, uh, very, very pleased to share the podium with you. Uh, I think anytime anybody wins a national championship at anything, whether it's tiddlywinks or checkers or- ... uh, cheerleading or, or whatever, it is a remarkable achievement. But to win 18 of them- ... is just unheard of. And, and all of you and your predecessors deserve a lot of credit for establishing the tradition that you have. And so, um, congratulations, and let me just, uh, present a little certificate here to Coach Thompson- ... so that you can, um, put this on the wall in, in an appropriate place. Um, in recognition of outstanding achievement in winning the t- 2010 Universal Cheerleading Association National Cheerleading Championship, presented to the blue squad members coached by Jomo K. Thompson, Ashley Carnes, Courtney Childers, Blair Cobble, Terren DeVoe, Jenna Dorman, Rob Ellery, Trey Forsythe, Daniel Galloway, Lindsay Goderis, Maurice Grant, Allie Greer, Ryan Heinrich, Dan Jacos, Blake Johnson, Jeremy Lumpkin, Sarah Masters, Chelsea Parkey, Parker, Ashley Phillips, Chris Rodonis, Olivia Rink, and Reese White. 25th day of January. Coach, congratulations. Thank you very much, sir. Really appreciate it. Congratulations. I know, right? Thank you very much. Can I stand behind you? Yeah. It appears on the surface they've done this before. And one more time. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Congratulations. Well done. Well done. Take South Carolina. Woo! That's how I spent most of my vacation, and most of my Saturdays. I thought, "He's got all kinds of coordination and muscles." Oh, thank you. Well, as those of you here in the chamber can see, as, uh, our cheerleaders are exiting, we have another group of guests that are joining us this evening, and it is, uh, another, uh, opportunity to, to welcome some folks who've accomplished a good bit in their own right. We have a special opportunity this evening to honor the winners of the Kentucky American Water Science Fair. It's the 26th anniversary this year for the Science Fair. It was held on February 6th. It's coordinated by the Fayette County Public Schools. And this year, I'm pleased to report that more than 620 students from across the county in grays, grades four through 12 competed. And the competition extends to both public and private schools. This year, a total of 142 students received medals and advanced to the Central Kentucky Regional Science and Engineering Fair to be held this Saturday, February 27th, at the University of Kentucky. This is the second year that the fair has recognized our community's unprecedented commitment to environmental quality, particularly to cleaning up our streams by presenting the Mayor's Urban Environmental Award for outstanding projects related to the environment. And with us tonight to represent Kentucky American is Susan Lancho. Susan, I think I saw you in the back there. Internal Communications Manager for Kentucky American. And representing Fayette County Schools are David Helm and Laurie Born- Bowen. There you are. Thank you all for being with us. These are our two district science specialists, and, uh, I'd like for David, Laurie, and, and Susan to stand so that we can, uh, congratulate them with a, a round of applause for their hard work. Thank you so much for all that you do for, uh, kids in, in Fayette County. We have, uh, a large number of winners and proud parents with us tonight, and so we are breaking our groups up into three, uh, our honorees into three groups, elementary, middle, and high school, and I'll call out the names of the schools. We have certificates for everybody. We won't present them tonight due to the large number o- of folks, but, uh, parents and, and the children will be able to retrieve their certificates downstairs in the lobby. Um, we have here in the chamber now the elementary students, and when I call out the name of your school, I'd like for you to raise your hand so, uh, uh, we can associate you with a school. They're on the way. We are so proud of all of you. Thanks for joining us tonight. Great turnout. Now, I know everybody was really sorry you weren't in school today. But I hope this makes... I know all the parents were sorry they, they weren't in school today. But, uh, we are delighted to have you here this evening. So let me call the schools out, and if you would raise your hands when I call your school. Ashland, Athens-Trailsburg, Bluegrass Baptist, Booker T. Washington, Cassidy- Garden Springs, Wendover, Julius Marks, Lexington Christian Academy, Liberty, Mill Creek, Picadome, Rosa Parks. Big crowd. Cong- congratulations. Sandersville. Scapa. Not here. Southern, Veterans Park, and Yates. Let's give them a hand now. You're welcome. All right. As our middle school, or excuse me, as our elementary school students and their parents are filing out, we will be bringing in our middle school students and as we do so, let me say a word of thanks to Fayette County School Superintendent Stu Silverman and Kentucky American Water Company President Nick Roe for their support of the science fair. These, uh, these are the students who are going to provide our city and our country with the ability to compete in the future in science and technology and we are very, very proud of their accomplishments. Let me... All right. We have all the students now? Well, let me say congratulations to all the middle school science fair winners. We are exceptionally proud of you. And students, as I call out the name of your school, I'd like for you to raise your hand so everybody can associate you with the school. Beaumont. Bryan Station Traditional Magnet. Edith J. Hayes. Great. Home School. Good. Jessie M. Clark. Leestown. Lexington Christian Academy. Lexington Traditional Magnet. Lexington Universal. Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary. Morton. Sayre. Scapa. Seton Catholic. Tates Creek. ... the Lexington School, Trinity Christian, and Wimber. Let's give them all a hand and we'll -- Get a photo. Give them space, gentlemen. Now, you sir, must appear here. Step forward and I posh you. There ya go, gentleman. Come along. Next, young lady, come on down. Over here in the front. Up you come. Hey, gotta stand there scrolling. Boop, scroll. Sorry. Get one cold dance. Everybody needs to be where they oughtta be. Alright, Jack, hold that view. Camera, do a couple more real quick. Somebody else taking some shots too. Have a seat, Jim. JIM: Very much. Thank you. Well, we pretty well made it tonight. Don't cha? Look at these folks. See them? Congratulations. Thanks again. Woo-hoo. Nice job. Y'all done smartly there. Here, you're welcome home. Wait till mom and dad come. Of course you might. Say thank-you's anyway. Know what I meant to say? No. Did you enjoy yours? Sure did. Sounds beautiful. Can always tell someone whose father in law. Or mother in laws both dead. Most fun. Always interesting though never boring. Happy holidays everybody. By God, everyone says happy holiday everywhere except Kentucky. Except Tennessee obviously. Oops. Watch the steps kids, watch the step. Be careful walking. Ow! Ouchie! Pretty tough. Do you hear anymore shooting noises? Never heard such excitement since Ted Kennedy became president. Why doesn't Tom Davis ever worry about politics anyways? None of em even vote against eachother nowadays. Headwinds, tail winds, whatever you wanna call it. Gotta love the weatherman. Cold rain makes everything slippery. Specially on blue grass. Looks like somebody poured oil into the fire. Fire isn't that big anywhere near as fast as it spreads however. Only caught early Friday night. First story, firefighters respond between 50 to 60 house fires per minute while non-firefighters, school teachers included, respond to approximately 75% of the calls for assistance within eight minutes. In fact, according to National Fire Protection Association data collected during Christmas Eve of 1998, nearly four million homes across America were inspected and reported upon by agencies involved in firefighting efforts nationwide. More than nine thousand houses burned throughout the country due to negligent activity including smoking fireplace, improper storage of flammable liquid chemicals, electrical shorts, broken gas lines etcetera. While average household income increased from 1956 to 1987, median annual incomes increase roughly 14%. Meanwhile, cost of living rose 39%, putting burdensome financial burden onto families attempting to meet everyday objects such as cooking, heating, cooling dirties, cleaning furniture, refrigerators, televisions, dryers clothesline washrooms, electricity lights, cell phones internetworking computers audio video equipment and toys among others required by children sons daughters grandchildren great-grandchildren nieces nephews. Some parents struggle financially keeping pace with daily expenses without aid given funding opportunities offered by state governments often turned away due to insufficient resources. These individuals are denied basic human rights guaranteed under international conventions. As seen in cases involving domestic violence sexual assault child abuse neglect abandonment gang involvement drug addiction suicide. Unfortunately homeless population cannot afford hotel rooms nor travel by airplane plane tickets boat rentals motels lodges or hotels therefore lacking adequate housing access transportation services leading millions of Americans to live life on the streets in poverty or worse struggling to survive. Many die trying instead of surviving either situationally or directly. Every effort necessary shall be taken toward permanent solution towards lasting peace unless serious action is undertaken immediately to alleviate ongoing crisis situations.

Madam Clerk, if you'll hold for just a moment, Council Member Gordon. Uh, yes, Mayor, thank you. On Tuesday, um, the council voted to move into planning committee the, um, third condition relating to, uh, four-lane streets with the commercial signage. And, um- Since then, I've gotten quite a bit of feedback from planning and law about being certain that when we go forward with this ordinance, it's as complete as we think it should be. And although I understand that the, uh, applicant has withdrawn the four-lane, um, consideration, I, uh, still think it might be worthy of discussing in relationship to the neighborhoods. So with that, I move to table number 18 until after March the 16th when the, um, four-lane will be heard in planning committee. Have a motion and second to table item number 18. It's not debatable. All in favor of tabling item number 18, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. No. Motion fails. Um- Which you called, called for account. Excuse me, Mayor, I'd like to recuse on that matter too. Thank you. We'll note Council Member Lane's recusal on item 18, and we can proceed with a, a vote, electronic vote. Those in favor of tabling item 18, please indicate by saying, by voting aye. Those opposed vote no. The nays have it by a vote of five to nine. Therefore, we're ready to continue with first reading of item number 18. Ordinance number 18, an ordinance amending article 17-318, 17-4D and 17-6C of the zoning ordinance to modify the provisions for commercial real estate signs. Thank you. That concludes the reading of the ordinances entitled a first reading. Are there any motions? Me. Council Member Gordon. Uh, Mayor, since the number 18 is going forward, it might be appropriate if council members don't want to consider the, um, issue of the four-lane, um, neighborhood issue for on Tuesday to remove that from planning committee. Just an idea. On Tuesday, that could be done. All right. If someone made that motion. There's nothing further, we'll proceed. Madam Clerk, we're ready for the resolutions entitled to second reading.

Is there a second? Second. Have a second by Councilmember Lolis. Uh, any discussion? All in favor, please say I. I. Oppose, no. Motion, motion carries.

Um, those... Let's do that- Mayor, I think I might have... It's kind of one and one A, it looks like on that one. That, that, that motion needed to include also the two walk ons. But you, you said two through eight, so if we could- The- ... just clarify for the record. Yeah. Councilmember Gorton's motion included language that they were approved, added to the docket and approved. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. Sorry. All right. Now, uh, Councilmember Ellinger has perhaps suggested we divide number one into two, uh, elements. Is that correct? I think so. I think that'd probably be appropriate. All right. Do I hear a second? Second. Have a motion by Councilmember Ellinger and a second by Councilmember Lane to divide item one into, uh, separate votes on each recommended appointment. Any discussion? All in favor, say I. I. Oppose, no. No. Motion carries. Nevermind. All right. If you could just go a little bit slower, that might help. All right.

Go right ahead, Mr. Lane. Okay. I'd be happy to, since it was your suggestion, to let you handle it. Thanks for giving me the credit. I beg your pardon? Thanks for giving me the credit. Okay. Well, okay, well, I- I think that, uh, Ms. James' suggestion was appropriate. That's why I'm making the motion. We're- We only have two work, uh, two new business items on the docket and we also have up to a six-hour police disciplinary hearing on Monday, which may go into the late evening. So, uh, I'm making, uh, this motion on her behalf. So moved. Second. I have a motion by Councilmember Lane and a second by Councilmember Martin to place the items originally scheduled for consideration on March 2nd to the March 9th work session- Yes, sir.

Um, since our next council meeting is not until the Thursday following the March 9th meeting, um, we'll still be, uh, timely with the items moving forward and, um, and there shouldn't be any problems as far as administration is concerned of moving the presentation items, um, to the next week as well. I've confirmed with Artie on that. So, just for anyone that's concerned about the delay of presentation. Thanks, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Lollis. Uh, I'm not sure everybody knows what we're moving. Okay. The motion by Councilmember Lane is to move all of the business items from the March 2nd work session agenda to the March 9th work session agenda and to cancel the March 2nd work session.

I have one, uh, personal announcement tonight. I have a special guest with me in the back of the chamber tonight. My son, Drew is here with me, so, uh, appreciate his joining us and bearing with us. Other announcements. Councilmember James. Councilmember James. Anything else? No, that was... Uh- All right. ... you can remove me from that. That's fine. Councilmember Henson. Thank you, Mayor. I just had a question about... I noticed on the communications from the mayor, there used to be like resignations or terminations of personnel a lot of times listed there and there haven't been any lately. So I was just curious, are we doing a better job or are they being omitted? I'm not aware of any intention to omit them. Uh, I can't say whether or not that has happened inadvertently or... I can actually answer that. That comes to our office from human resources and we have not received any for the last, um, I believe, two or three, uh, council meetings. So, and I will check on that to see if it's just been an inadvertent- Okay. I appreciate that 'cause- ... cause you're more welcome. ... actually I have been following the resignations from community corrections and had questioned that and I was just think- you know, maybe things are bad. So I appreciate it. Thank you. Anything further on the announcement front? All right. Public comments, uh, this evening. I only have one individual who's indicated they desire to speak and that's... I'm sorry. Councilmember Martin. Council... Uh, unless somebody else has one. I'm sorry. Mike. Mike. I have a short announcement. I thought we... Didn't realize we were to that part, uh, already. Uh, mayors, I've been working with the, uh, the Lex call folks recently and I just wanna announce that they have, uh, at my request instituted a new email address, 311@lexingtonky.gov, in which folks can email potholes to the city. This is pothole season and this is an opportunity for folks with iPhones and BlackBerrys on the weekends, uh, to take a picture and, uh, email it to the city at 311- ... at lexingtonky.gov. And, uh, if you'd include your name, a contact information and, uh, the location and sort of a description of, of the, uh, the issue, uh, that it'll go to LexCall and they'll take care of it just like it was regular business hours. Thanks, Mayor. Very good. Um, you may all be interested to know that a report came across my desk this week that indicated we are now north of 2,400 potholes filled in February. In February. So, um, and I, I strongly imagine that there are others out there that have yet to be filled. So I, I hope folks will continue to call in with an address and we'll try to get those filled as promptly as possible. Any other announcements? The only person I have who has signed up to speak this evening is Robert Dalton. Mr. Dalton, if you'll step to the podium, you'll have three minutes. Thank you, Mayor. Robert Dalton, 520 Douglas Avenue. My daytime job, of course, as many know, I'm working with veterans. I'm coming here tonight because I need some assistance. I've been working with Senator Stein for the last year over a amendment to a current, uh, s- statute that's on the Kentucky, uh, laws. Uh, currently, military veterans who have truck-driving experience within the li- within the last two years of their active av- uh, active recui- or, uh, time that they're in the military, uh, if they want to, when they are discharged, if they request the, within 90 days of discharge, a waiver to the driving portion, skills portion of the driving test, they can be able to go ahead and pay, uh, take the written portion and be able to get their Kentucky CDL, commercial driver's license. The problem is, though, is that only applies under current law to Class B CDLs, which are buses and straight trucks. I've been working with Senator Stein, as I said, for the last year to amend that to where the law will include all classes of CDLs and will extend the deadline from 90 days to one year. Senator Stein has submitted that bill on January 5th into the State Senate. It was then sent to the Transportation Committee. A couple of weeks ago, that bill was withdrawn without any explanation. I haven't been able to find out any information why. This is gonna benefit our veterans who are getting out because to get the CDL license in the state of Kentucky, you have to provide a big truck. That's the skills portion. Uh, either borrowing or having to pay a high bill at a truck-driving school to learn skills that you already know. And so with this, it would be able to help our veterans who already know the skills and be able to, you know, when they get out, be able to get a job and be working in, in the state of Kentucky. And so what I'm asking is this council, as individuals, also our public that's at home watching who are veterans or are a veteran family, to contact the Senate and to the House to let them know we want this bill reactivated and be able to help the veterans that passed this.
