We have a quorum present. The first item on the agenda is a first reading of ordinances and Madam Clerk, if you'd give first reading to the ordinance on today's agenda. And I'm just going to operate manually because of the fluctuation between the two meetings, so if that's okay. Ordinance number one, an ordinance appropriating the revenues, expenditures, expenses, and inter-fund transfers for the General Services District Fund, the Tenant Relocation Fund, the General Services District Fund, the Police Confiscated Federal Fund, the Police Confiscated State Fund, the Public Safety Fund, the Spay and Neuter Fund, the Municipal and Program Fund, the County Road Aid Fund, the Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund, the Sanitary Sewer Revenue and Operating Fund, the Sanitary Sewer Construction Fund, the Water Quality Management Fund, the Landfill Fund, the Right-of-Way Program Fund, the City Employees Pension Fund, the Policemen's and Firefighters Retirement Fund of the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government, the Extended School Program Fund, the Prisoner's Account Fund, the Enhanced 911 Fund, the LexVan Program Fund, the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Public Facilities Corporation General Fund, the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Public Facilities Corporation Parks Projects Fund, the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Public Parking Corporation Fund, the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Public Library Corporation Fund, the Medical Insurance Fund, the Property and Casualty Claims Fund, and the FY2011 Bond Projects Fund on a divisional level by four control levels for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 for the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, approving and adopting the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal years FY2011 through FY2016 as a portion of the fiscal year 2011 Annual Capital Improvements Budget, approving funding for the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Tourist and Convention Commission from the transient room tax, set funding to equal 99.5% of the revenue from the tax, and suspending the Economic Contingency Ordinance No. 78-2006 to not require deposits and to allow for withdrawals. Thank you. That concludes the ordinances entitled to first reading. Council Member Lane. Thank you, Mayor. I move to place on the docket an ordinance amending certain of the budgets to reflect transfer of $5,830 from Neighborhood Development Funds to the Division of Parks and Recreation for replacement of playground equipment at Veterans Park. Second. I have a motion and second by Council Member Lane. Any discussion? Is this today's docket? Right. You put that is for today's docket, correct? Any discussion? This is a regular Council meeting today. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, those in favor of adding that item to the docket, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Mayor. Council Member Gordon. Mayor, I had not intended to make my motion except that now that the June 15th, if I understand the June 15th Neighborhood Development Funds just got added to today's docket. Is that correct? Yes. I am sorry, Council Member. What we are doing is transferring this money over to the Parks Department. So this NDF fund will be approved at our meeting. This is just transferring it from one line item to another, essentially so they can use that money to replace the equipment that is broken. So, Mayor, I have on the June 15th Neighborhood Development Funds, I have an amendment, so I need to know if I should make that motion now since it has been brought up. I was going to wait until later because I thought it was going on Thursday's docket. Well, my understanding is if Council Member Lane's motion is approved. Okay. I may be able to explain. Council Member Lane's NDF request had a budget amendment that went with it. So in order to get two readings this fiscal year, it had to be walked on today. The rest of your NDFs don't have that same requirement. So they could be given two readings on Thursday night. I appreciate your clarification. No problem. All right. Before you get away, Ms. McGee, if you would come back, I think there is another question. Council Member Crosby. Council Member Lawless had some changes to hers. So would those need to be made at this point, too? We can make those changes at work session because those items aren't on the docket for this Council meeting. Okay. I just wanted to clarify. Thank you. All right. I think the motion on the floor now is to amend the docket by adding the item described by Council Member Lane. If there's no further discussion, those in favor of placing on the docket the ordinance transferring the funds from NDF to Parks and Recreation, please indicate by saying aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. So, Madam Clerk. Ordinance number two, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for funds in the amount of $5,330 from Neighborhood Development Funds and the Division of Parks and Recreation for replacement of playground equipment at Veterans Park and appropriating and reappropriating funds, schedule number 151. If there are no motions, we'll move on to announcements. Any announcements? Oh, Council Member Crosby. I move to place on the docket under first reading of ordinances an ordinance of budget amendments to provide funds for streets, roads and forestry, community corrections, finance and code enforcement. It is necessary to walk on these items to get two readings during FY2010. Second. Hold on. Any discussion on Council Member Crosby's motion? Seeing none, let's vote. Those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Those opposed, no. Motion carries. Madam Clerk. OK. And also, I think Mr. Lane is going to have an amendment to what we just walked on, number two, because of an incorrect figure that was in the resolution heading, or the ordinance heading that I just read. All right. Well, let's go ahead and give first reading to Council Member Crosby. First reading of ordinance number three is an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriating and reappropriating funds, schedule number 152. Thank you. Now, Council Member Lane, do you have a motion to amend? Yes, sir. The correct amount should be $5,830. And it was incorrect on the ordinance as it was prepared. I did say $5,830, but the clerk referred to the original written document and read $5,330. So we need to amend it to $5,830. So move. Second. I have a motion and second to amend ordinance number two. Any discussion? All in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Madam Clerk. Ordinance number two as amended, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for funds in the amount of $5,830 from Neighborhood Development Funds and the Division of Parks and Recreation for replacement of playground equipment at Veterans Park and appropriating and reappropriating funds, schedule number 151. Any further motions? Any announcements? Any public comment? Seeing none, a motion to adjourn would be in order. I move to adjourn. Second. I have a motion by Councilmember Stennett and second by Councilmember Ellinger to adjourn the council meeting. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. All opposed, no. Motion carries.
