Good evening. Let's go ahead and call the room. Mr. Stinget. Mr. Beard. Present. Mr. Blevins. Here. Mr. Brews. Here. Ms. Crosby. Mr. DeKamp. Here. Mr. Ellinger. Here. Ms. Gorton. Here. Mr. Gray. Here. Ms. James. Here. Mr. Lane. Here. Mr. McCord. Here. Mr. Maloney. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Myers. Here. And Dr. Stevens. Present. We have a quorum, so we're ready to proceed. If you would, join me in welcoming Kid Frank, the Care Associate Minister from Southland Christian Church, to the podium. And if you'll allow us, please, for the invocation. Thank you. Father, it is truly an honor to be able just to start off this meeting in prayer. And Father, we're just asking that tonight that you bless every person that's represented in this room tonight. Father, we thank you that we could all gather, Father, just to better the city. And Father, just to lead people, Father, who are looking to be directed. And so we just thank you again for just this opportunity. And Father, you said to lift up our leaders. And so, Father, I just bless everyone that's here and ask just for wisdom for each and every one of them for the issues that are discussed tonight. And Father, just even for our state as a whole, Father, over the next couple weeks, just with, Father, just the elections coming up, and just ask that you would just continue to guide and direct. And Father, bless the state of Kentucky and bless Lexington. And Father, again, we just thank you for your goodness in our lives each and every day. We thank you, Father, that you are here and helping. And again, just be glorified in all that's said and done. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you very much. I think the minutes of our last meeting on September 27, or the September 27 meeting, have been circulated. Is there a motion? Move approval. I have a motion by Council Member Gordon and a second by Council Member Beard to approve the minutes. Any discussion? Those in favor, please indicate by voting aye electronically. Those opposed, no. Mayor, actually, we were wanting, I was requesting a motion to remove those because they were not complete. Sorry. If you'll look at the suggested action on your screen, please, sir. I don't see it on the screen, but nonetheless. Sorry. Well, I'll move to remove the minutes until November 15th Council meeting. Thank you. We'll take that as a substitute motion and a substitute second. Any discussion? Those in favor, please indicate by voting aye electronically. Those opposed, vote nay. Motion carries. Thank you very much. We now, I believe, have some representatives here from the southeast. Lexington Baseball? Not yet. Okay. If they come in a little later, we'll roll on. Well, that enables me to have the opportunity to recognize some very, very special guests this evening. And I think the best way for us to proceed might be for me to ask John Margarillo, who's the conductor of the U.K. Symphony Orchestra, to step to the podium, if you would, and tell us a little bit about what's going on this week and Thanksgiving weekend with the U.K. Symphony and introduce our guests. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And thank you all for having us here. I've got a couple of students from the orchestra and our assistant conductor, a graduate student. I think these are all actually graduate students and principal players from the orchestra. Could you guys stand and brought them down. And also, all right, now you can sit down again. We, tomorrow evening, we're playing a concert at the Singletary Center, the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra. And our special guest for the concert is the legendary folk singer Arlo Guthrie, who's also joining us here. Arlo? We are thrilled to be part of the civic life of the city of Lexington. And we've been very pleased to have, you know, to be able to play for lots of people, both at our concerts and out of Keeneland and through the recordings we've made. And so this is very exciting for us and it's exciting for us to be here. Later in November, we're going to take the program that we're presenting tomorrow night up to New York at the invitation of Arlo. And we're going to join him on the stage at Carnegie Hall in New York on Thanksgiving weekend to play again there. So thank you Arlo for inviting us. John, I want to tell you how enormously proud we all are of what I consider to be an extraordinary accomplishment for the UK Symphony Orchestra. And thanks to all of you for the hard work you've put in to merit this very special recognition for Lexington and Kentucky and the University of Kentucky. I think it is absolutely fabulous and you're all to be commended. I don't know if everybody in the orchestra appreciates it, but this is an extraordinary moment in all of your lives. And I hope you have a great time in New York a little later on this month during Thanksgiving weekend, which is a prime time to be in New York City incidentally. And I wish you the best of luck tomorrow evening with your performance. Council Member Linda Gordon and I have a proclamation which I want to present to Mr. Nardolillo here in just a moment. Let me read it for the benefit of everyone who's here and those who may be watching. Whereas the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, comprised of the finest string, wind, and percussion instrumentalists from both graduate and undergraduate programs, has been an integral part of the cultural life of UK and the Lexington community. And whereas the orchestra's conductor, John Nardolillo, has conducted at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and is the founder and music director of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. And whereas with the strength of the talented student musicians at the University of Kentucky, the UK Symphony Orchestra has become one of only a few college orchestras in the nation, even the world, to have been signed to a recording contract with Maxis, the world's largest classical label. And whereas the orchestra has made two recordings, Music of the Horse, 2006, in collaboration with Keeneland, and in times like these, featuring Arlo Guthrie and his music, and whereas student musicians will perform with Arlo Guthrie in Carnegie Hall November 24th, now therefore I, Jim Newberry, Mayor of the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government, do hereby proclaim November 2007 as UK Symphony Orchestra Month. Congratulations. And now, Mr. Guthrie, if you'll come forward. I have surveyed the council and found out that your biggest fan, not only fan, but biggest fan, is not other than Council Member Gordon. And so together, we wanted to present you with a key to the city here, in the hopes that you'll come back often and visit with us when you can. That is really great. Thank you so much. I do appreciate it. Let me just say something. I don't know how many of you are familiar with the orchestra, but John Nardolillo and I have worked together for about eight years trying to, and we've worked with 40 of the great American orchestras over the last eight years. We've tried to record this project for a number of years. We've actually recorded at Carnegie Hall. We've recorded at the Kennedy Center in Washington and some other great halls. The only time that it actually worked was when we were here last year and we just happened to hit one of those great nights when the orchestra played on a professional level beyond what we were able to get with other great orchestras and other great venues and produced a record that is going to stand the test of time, I think, for a long time. It's not one of these pop records. You're not going to see it in charts or things like that. But for people who love great music, it's going to be a valued treasure in their lives. So I want to take the opportunity to thank John, to thank the orchestra, and to thank you for recognizing them. I think it just says a hell of a lot about who you are here. I'm happy to take them to New York City and Carnegie Hall. It looks like we may be about three CDs short, and so I want the hardware back until we get to it. We'll find you. We'll find you. Thank you all very, very much for coming. We'll be delighted to have you stay as long as you care to, but if you need to leave, we'll certainly understand. Unless someone has further business at this point, we will go ahead, Madam Clerk, and proceed with the ordinances for second reading.

We have a number of items and the communications from the Mayor in the For Information only department. I believe the building inspection report has previously been circulated, and we have other any announcements? Councilmember Maloney. Mayor, I'd like to announce that today we voted on a zone change finalized on Ingleside, and there's been a lot of concerns about the folks who live in Ingleside having a place to live or being displaced, and I assume if they do start moving with this that we sure have some folks in there where they can be contacted, you guys, or because I've got to fill out. I've not been allowed to say anything about the zone change, but I do have some concerns about the families that have been living in these trailers and that we have a place for them because I've got a feeling the phone's going to be ringing off the hook now. If you can help us on that. Or maybe you already have a plan. If you can help detail that, that would be great. We have met with the developers of the property. It is my understanding that since the property is in private hands, this is not something that the city has condemned. Our role would be primarily to provide information and assistance and support, help individuals to make the connection. As of today, we have had only one family, really, to contact us directly. We set up three appointments for that family to come in and talk with us, and we also offered to meet them wherever they wanted us to meet them. They canceled all three of the appointments. So we do stand ready to provide assistance. We've made contact with the Lexington Housing Authority. We've notified our partner agencies of the pending changes, but we're simply sitting on standby. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any further announcements? The last item on the agenda this evening is public comment, and the only person who's indicated a willingness or an interest in speaking is Bernard McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, if you would come to the podium and give us your address. Your Honor and members of the counsel, I don't know why East Maxwell Street is currently closed just east of Rose, but it's definitely turning traffic into a worse mess than usual. I realize that sometimes streets have to be dug up to fix underground utilities, but I think that letting anyone dig up or close the full width of an arterial street during rush hour is a mistake and should be avoided unless there is imminent danger of either a gas leak causing an explosion or the street caving in from a water leak having hollowed out the ground underneath or something. But it ought to be possible to do whatever it needs repairing below ground without having to close the full width of the street when you've got two moving lanes and two parking lanes. I would think that they could do things part width and let one lane stay open for moving traffic. The mess tonight was horrible. Thank you very much, Mr. McCarthy. Does anyone else wish to comment? Mr. Dalton, if you'll step to the podium, you'll have three minutes. Thank you, Mayor. Robert Dalton, 520 Douglas Avenue. I'm the veterans representative for the Office of Employment and Training. I work in Winchester and Richmond, but I'm also a resident here of Lexington. That's why I'm coming here tonight to talk to you. All day long, I deal with veterans that come into our office, both disabled, those who are just recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, and also those who have been back for quite a long time. Some of the people I've talked to, it's been very difficult for them to be able to talk about the issues and the problems that they've dealt with in the war zone. I know I had read an article a couple days ago in the Herald-Leader about some of the problems with our veterans, how middle-class veterans, those who are low-income, can't afford health care. With the low income, they can't pay for private insurance, and those who make more money, those who are middle-income, make too much money, though, to be able to get free medical care. I'm coming here today because I'm hoping and asking that we all remember the veterans as Veterans Day comes up in about ten days. We need to honor and respect the sacrifices that these veterans have given to us, not only them themselves, but also their families and the hardships that they have put through as the veterans are out there putting their lives and even their body parts on the line for us, keeping us safe. I hope that this community, this government, and the communities across the Commonwealth will remember them in those ten days from now. For those who don't know, this is the 30th anniversary of the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program. It was signed into law three years ago by President Carter. I was in high school back then, so it's been quite a while. But I hope we can all remember them, all the veterans. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Dalton. Any further comment for the council? Seeing none, we will entertain a motion to adjourn. I have a motion and a second. Those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Those opposed, motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
