And this is the first meeting. So the agenda is to elect the chair, and the chair will select the vice chair. So as in the past committees from today, for those of you who have nominees, if you'll go ahead and nominate them, and we'll do our voting. And I see Council Member McCord is logged in. Thank you, Vice Mayor. This, this committee, one of the things that is probably going to get overshadowed is you've got the words public safety in there. And that may comprise 55% of the budget of this government. And obviously, this is an extremely important committee because of that. But equally important is the other side of this committee, which is public works. And with streets and roads being what they are, and all the things that we hear on a daily basis from constituents, I think that piece is as critical, if not more critical sometimes, to the day in, day out life of folks as public safety. So with that said, I want to nominate Doug Martin for this role. And I want to nominate Doug for a couple reasons very specifically. Since Council Member Martin has been on this council, you have championed a couple things very loud. And we know exactly where you stand when it comes to roads and infrastructure and so forth. And you've been a solid champion. That's something that I certainly agree with you on and believe that we need to put as much focus on that as possible. But secondarily, you're one of the only people that recognizes one of the bigger problems that we've got coming, and that is with some of the retirements in public safety. We have a number of folks who are reaching their 20th years of service. That is going to put a new twist on to some of the issues that we've got. Council Member Martin has also been very vocal about the pension funds and the disability issues. And so it's something that I know is very important to him, but something that he is taking a very long, hard look at. And so that's why I nominate Doug Martin for this chairmanship. Is there any discussion about the motion to put him on our ballot? All those in favor of the nomination going on the ballot, say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Council Member Crosby. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I'd like to nominate Ms. Wallace. And I know you're going to let them give a 60-second speech on their qualifications and possibly might make follow-up comments at that time. Thank you. And Council Member Ellinger has seconded. Is there discussion about the motion to put Council Member Lawless on the ballot? If not, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? Okay. Is there any other nominee to be made, nomination to be made? Okay. If not, I'd like for each of the nominees to make a brief statement about why you would like to be chair of the committee. And the voting members are Council Member Ellinger, Council Member Lawless, Council Member Farmer, Crosby, McCord, Martin, and Henson. So, Council Member Martin. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I appreciate the nomination of my colleagues. I think the Public Safety and Public Works Committee will really be one of our most important committees for the long-term solvency of Lexington as we move through this economic crisis. You know, as a lawyer, I've worked on just hundreds of projects. And also through my lifelong involvement with economic development, I understand how important our infrastructure is to the economic prosperity of Lexington. Companies just don't come to towns that have poor infrastructure. And our infrastructure acts as a long-term liability. And what we don't fix today, we have to spend twice as much and twice the effort tomorrow to fix. And so I do understand the importance of that. More recently, I've led the effort to sort of bring attention to the looming crisis with our public safety pension. And I think we have to work with the leadership of the police and fire departments as we work together to solve this sort of runaway pension, and so that we can put together a long-term solution so that our police and fire workers have a dependable and reliable long-term solution for their retirement. So I appreciate the nomination and I appreciate your support. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Council Member Lawless. Thank you very much for the nomination. Public safety and public works both have been of great interest to me. In my 30 years as CEO, executive director of the Blue Grass Rape Crisis Center, while I'm a social worker, many people don't realize that an enormous part of my job over the 30 years was dealing with the divisions of government that have to do with public safety, police, fire, 911, and it's something that's very near and dear to my heart. Also, I've had a great deal of dealings with code enforcement, helped get the ordinance passed that increased the escalating fines on code enforcement, which has done a great deal to stop the demolition by neglect and the people who just ignored code enforcement violations and chalked them up as a cost of doing business because they were so low. So I've worked very hard on that. As far as public works, because of all that has gone on in the third district with the streetscape projects, et cetera, I have also had probably would have at least a Ph.D. in public works at this point after the last two years. I'm very passionate about both public safety and public works and have extensive experience over the last 30 years, plus my time on council with public safety. And I would appreciate your support to chair that committee. Thank you. Is there any other comment? Before we vote. Okay. Council Member Crosby. I didn't say anything during the introduction, like Council Member McCord, on why I was making the nomination because I wanted to hear what both candidates or both people running for chair had to say. And once again, I find myself in a situation where we have two very qualified good council members running for the same position. And as a female council member, I find it interesting so far that we're on our fifth committee and this is the first opportunity we have to elect somebody, a female as a chair. That's, I think, important when we're looking at our committee structure and how it's made up and there aren't as many of us and clearly we're spread pretty thin on these committees. So I appreciate that and also the experience, I believe, that Council Member Lawless brings. This is her second full term and she has had tons of in her private life with her occupation, experience with public safety. She's been very active meeting with all levels of public safety. So when it comes to pension issues that we're facing and hiring situations and things like that, I think she's very well versed. And on the public works side, clearly we've done a lot of streetscape things in her district and she too has been, I think, on the same page as Council Member Martin with some of the paving issues and so I'll just leave it at that, but thank you. Thank you. Is there any other comment? All right. We will vote the way that we voted in the last, the other committees that had more than one person running. So Vicky, thank you for staffing this. And if you will call the names of the voting members and we'll have them say who they're voting for. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were repeating what he said. She's calling your name for your vote. Lawless. Thank you. Council Member Doug Martin. Martin. Martin. Martin. Lawless. So Council Member Lawless is elected chair. Do you have someone you want to ask today to be vice chair? Yes. I had, I didn't know until we came in here that Council Member Martin had any interest in running for this. I had intended to name Council Member Crosby as my vice chair and I made that commitment and so I'd like to keep that commitment. No. Okay. Then I will name Council Member Martin as my vice chair. Would you like that, Council Member Martin? Sure. Okay. So Council Member Lawless is the chair of Public Safety and Public Works and Development and Council Member Crosby is the vice chair. And in your packet for your information is the committee meeting schedule. Thank you. And the list of items referred and there's no other business for today. So do I hear a motion to adjourn? All those in favor say aye. Anyone opposed? Thank you very much. Environmental quality will meet at three o'clock. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
