Is it? Nope. Now it's working. Alright. Welcome. Everybody was saying this may be the biggest crowd yet, so we are so glad that everyone's here. This is a meeting of the Urban County Council. And first, for those of you who are not familiar with our procedures, the first thing we do is have a roll call. And the roll call is given by our council clerk, Susan Lamb. So, Madam Clerk, please call the roll. If you will give me just one quick second. The changeover from the Planning Commission to here knocked my attendance out, and I've just, in two seconds... We will be very patient. Look at how patient everybody is. Have it ready to go. State champion patience demonstrated. Now we're ready to rock. Okay. Mr. Blues. Here. Ms. Crosby. Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Martin, Mr. McCord, Mr. Myers, Mr. Stenet, and Mr. Beard. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Next on our agenda is the invocation, and tonight's invocation is being offered by Pastor Jonathan Smith. And Pastor Smith has been in Lexington since all of September 22nd. But he comes to Lexington by way of Huntsville, but originally from Chicago. And he and his family, his wife and three kids, have been here now since September 22nd. And he is the pastor at the Lima Drive Seventh-day Adventist Church. Pastor Smith. Shall we pray? Eternal God, I do ask and invite your presence here tonight as this council seeks to do the business of the people of the city of Lexington and Fayette County. I do ask that you will impart your wisdom on this esteemed council and grant them insight and foresight to make decisions that will be beneficial to all of its constituents. I ask that you will lead and guide our Honorable Mayor in this council meeting tonight. And I thank you for hearing and answering this prayer. Amen. Thank you, Pastor Smith. And on the way out, I just want to say to share with the council that when Pastor Smith came to Lexington, he called and asked us if we could meet with him. He met with Glenn Brown and others. He wanted to know how he could reach out and help in the community. And the suggestion was made by Glenn, I believe, to contact Laura Hatfield, and he's already been involved with Laura and Partners for Youth and all the good work going on there. So thank you, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you, sir. All right. Next on our agenda is minutes from previous minutes, from previous meetings, rather. Is there a motion to approve three sets of meetings? Motion by Council Member Ellinger, seconded by Council Member Crosby. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right. Hearing none, then we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. We have two proclamations tonight, and what I'd like to do is invite Council Member George Myers to please join me down at the podium for the first presentation. Thank you. So just two weeks ago, these girls endured a two-hour weather delay in two overtimes and a penalty shootout to beat Lone Oak for the program's first-ever state title. In honor of their outstanding achievement, we are declaring today Tates Creek High School Women's Soccer Day. Yeah, there you go. Now, Councilmember George Myers is a Tates Creek alum, and he is very proud. In fact, he said up there, he said, yeah, I got on the sweatshirt, and he said, I'm nervous about this. He's never nervous, so y'all, this is something. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. It is with great pride and joy and honor that we're here today to represent Taste Creek and to honor you young women for your accomplishment. And what always thrills me is that in order to do what you guys did, it takes effort and dedication on the field but also in the classroom as well, And that's very important. And so it's very cool to note that Coach Bo Langster won about 30 years ago, almost this week. He won a state championship with Catholic and their boys' soccer team. And his dad, Jim, was the coach. And so now he's coaching at Tate's Creek. He has three daughters on the team. So we see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And so he has on the team his three daughters, which are Ari Langster and Aaron and Bailey. Thank you. And so this time we're going to present the proclamation to the team captains, which are Ari Langster, Eileen Simpson, and Abby Von Bussin. All right. All right, girls. Okay. Thank you. captains. Okay, you all have already done that. All right. We present the proclamation, and now Senior Jessica Richardson will tell us a little bit more about this season. Hi. As the Mayor said, I'm Jessica. I'm a senior with the Tate's Creek Girls Soccer Team, and over the last four years, and especially this season beginning in June, we have worked unbelievably hard to accomplish what we have, which is our school's first ever state championship, which is exciting. But we couldn't have done it without such a supportive community, and we really want to thank you all for recognizing all the hard work that we've put in, and we appreciate all that you do. Okay, now finally, head coach, proud father, Bo Langster, is here to introduce the whole team. So what we'll ask is that when you're introduced, if you will walk to the front of the room so we can get a big picture and all the council members will join, convene behind everybody. Okay, coach? First off, before I announce the team members, I would like to thank the council members. I'd also like to thank Council Member Myers, and I'd also like to thank Mayor Gray for this opportunity to recognize our team and the fact that we brought the state championship back to Lexington.

And so I am presenting this proclamation as Nurse Practitioner Week to you, Dr. Marfeld. And would you please, I know you have some remarks, please share them. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Well, I'd first like to thank the Council and Mayor Gray for giving us this opportunity and for acknowledging Nurse Practitioner Week. There are 155,000 nurse practitioners in the United States right now, and in the Lexington area alone there are right around 400. So we are there, we are here, and we are your partners in health. If you need to be examined, if you need to be diagnosed, If you need a prescription or you need to have any kind of health education, we are here for you. We are in our own clinics.

Madam Clerk, excuse me just a minute. We have three citizens who wish to speak to item number 12. I have three signed up. Brandon Dunn, Mr. Brandon Dunn, Corey Dunn, and Patrice Mohammed. Wow, I'll be using Corey's time. So, Corey's time? Okay, Brandon. All right, sir. We can just pass them around if you want to, Brandon. No, that's fine. I'm used to doing so much work. Yeah, you're not going to go to work. Thank you, sir. All right. Brandon, we all, of course, know you, but for the record, you know the procedure. If you'll give your name for the record and address, that'd be great. Thank you, sir. Brennan Dunn, 2709, Red Clover Lane, Lexington, Kentucky, 40511. I'm here today on behalf of community organizers of Lexington and as the founder of that organization and as vice president of our local NAACP, Chapter 3097. I'm here today to make sure that the community development block grant funds Section 108 loan is going to be utilized properly. Section 108 loan states that this loan agreement is for low to moderate low-income families or to aid in the prevention of slums, which, of course, our downtown Lexington, where this project will be taking place, isn't a slum. So I just would like to make sure that our city will utilize these funds properly in order to help low- to moderately low-income families. So with that being said, the $6 million that is going to be used on this project, we'd like to see it have a substantial impact on the quality of life for the people in these areas. So one thing that we'd like to see is we'd like to see 20% minorities on this project, 20% minorities being categorized as people of color with the understanding that white females in Lexington are considered minorities. And this would actually help our city reach its 10% minority business goal that it failed to reach previous. So if we could hire contractors, minority contractors on this project, that would ensure that this project, in fact, is going to have a significant impact on the quality of life. I've also spoken with CTE, the College of Technical Education, who said that they will also help provide us with qualified people to work on this project. and also spoken with Merlin Clark, who would also like to partner up with us on this project once she is also brought up to speed. Also, as far as the 150 jobs that 21C is planning on providing from this project, if it's not going to pay the cost of living wage, it's not going to have a substantial impact on the quality of life. For example, if you have a single-parent mother or father who is receiving governmental assistance and they are not receiving a cost-of-living wage and they're going to receive minimal income, that is going to take away from their governmental assistance and it's also going to raise their co-pays. So it would be better off for someone that is receiving governmental assistance to stay at home and not work more so than get a job receiving minimum income. So one thing that we would like to add, since we are basically, or our city will be the administrators of this project and can dictate what is going on, if they could make sure that an agreement is made that the 150 people or the 150 jobs that this project will create, will pay a cost of living wage to make sure that it will have a substantial impact on the quality of life with the understanding that this is what this money is used for. And using it to renovate a luxury hotel isn't going to have a substantial impact on the quality of life. So if this could actually be put into the application that's going to be filed, you know, we would greatly appreciate it and we would definitely support it. But however, if it's not, you know, we are poised to lead a very aggressive campaign to not support this project. So I would love to work with you to make sure that the HUD funds are being used and utilized properly to have a substantial impact on the quality of life. So I just really would like to let you all know that this is definitely a need because talking about slums and slum areas, our downtown is far from a slum, but there are several pockets of slums surrounding our downtown. So if we could utilize these funds to bring jobs to our city and pay them a cost of living wage, that will have a substantial impact on the quality of life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Dunn. Patrice Muhammad. Okay. Patrice Muhammad, 400 Elm Tree Lane. I want to comment that this is a substantial amendment to the 2012 consolidated plan. In the past, we have tried to ask for an amendment to the consolidated plan for the Community Development Block Grant funds that will be more in line with what the law that established this fund as a part of the Housing and Urban Development Department, that Congress intended for community development block grant funds to directly impact low and moderate income communities through entrepreneurial programs, enterprise zones, so that people in these communities learn how to become entrepreneurs and that they have this type of knowledge that then benefits them economically as well as the cities and the communities in which they live. This type of amendment to the consolidated fund would not develop local entrepreneurs. Also, this amendment will take public funds and give it to a private corporation. You cannot take these public funds that are specifically for a low and moderate income individuals and give it over to the public sector. That's not the role of government to fund the private sector. If a private corporation would like to have $6 million, they should then go to a private investment bank or seek other type of investments. This is very much not intended for a public fund. Also, these jobs are not career jobs. And this places the government on, if 21C corporation defaults on this loan, given the present economic climate and fiscal cliff that we are facing, this could definitely be so. And the government will then jeopardize all future community development block grant funds to then pay for a private corporation that defaulted on its loan. Now that means that any future community development block grant money is then jeopardized. And future monies will not go for the intended purpose of these communities. And so I ask the council to please do not pass this. This is very ill-conceived. And you have an opportunity to help the people of your community by developing an entrepreneurial program. This is the intent. This is the better way to go. Thank you very much. Thank you, Ms. Muhammad. All right. Madam Clerk, you may proceed. Number 12. the Division of Internal Audit to purchase five additional user licenses from Global Compliance Services Incorporated for use in the LFUCG ethics tip line and authorizing the mayor to execute any necessary addendum or agreement with Global Compliance Services Incorporated related to the licenses at a cost not to exceed $1,500.

Is there any discussion on the motion? All right. Hearing none, then we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Mayor. And I move to untable a resolution approving an update of area designation for the Solid Waste Management Plan for Lexington-Fedt County for 2013-2018, pursuant to KRS 224.43-340 and 224.43-345. Motion by Council Member Stannett, seconded by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, hearing none, we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Is there any further discussion on the original motion? All right, hearing none, then... I'm sorry. Chris, do you want to speak now? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'm sorry. Thank you, Mayor. Speaking to Resolution No. 12 in regards to the 21C project, I just, as we move this forward, I want to echo some of the comments that were made by the citizens, and they are some of the things that we've discussed around this horseshoe previously. It is very important that if this application is approved as a Section 108 pilot project, that we continue to monitor its impact to the low to moderate income community. And I have confidence in assets to support the grants office in doing so. Secondly, is that there is a resolution that's not tied to this discussion, but in regards to our minority business involvement. We passed a resolution nearly 20 years ago, and I think opportunities will present itself in the next few months for us to revisit it because we've come short of those goals. So I do just want to speak in regards to that as we move this forward. I'll support the resolution this evening. But, again, I think that the comments that were made, we should take heed to. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Ford. Council Member Martin. Thank you, Mayor. I'm just a little unclear on what the effect of Council Member Stenet's motions are. He made a motion to untable it, but you didn't put it on the docket. It was already on the docket for second reading, and we tabled it to review it, and I just untabled it. So it's on there for second reading again. Wait a minute. Madam Clerk, Susan. It needs to be read again at some point. I need to make sure I read these two before this official vote is taken. unless you want this vote just to reflect the second readings that are on the docket and then make another motion to approve these two separate. Why don't we just let you do the second read and then we'll take the vote. Okay. All right. Do we have any other? Thank you, Council Member Martin. Okay. These will be 24A and 24B because they're added under second readings. 24A, a resolution approving an update of area designation for the Solid Waste Management Plan for Lexington Fayette County for 2013 through 2018 pursuant to KRS 224.43-340 and to 24.43-345 and 24B, a resolution approving and adopting a solid waste management plan for Lexington Fayette County for 2013 through 2018 pursuant to KRS 22.43-340. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. All right. Is there any further discussion? All right. Hearing none, then I'll ask the clerk to please call the roll. Mr. Blues? Yes. Ms. Crosby? Yes. Mr. Ellinger? Yes. Mr. Farmer? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Ford? Yes. Ms. Gorton? Aye. Ms. Henson? Yes. Mr. Kay? Yes. Mr. Lane? Yes. Ms. Lawless? Yes. Mr. Martin? Yes. Mr. McCord? Yes. Mr. Myers? Yes. Mr. Stennett? Yes, ma'am. And Mr. Beard? I'm sorry, I keep calling his name. We okay soon? Okay, all right. All right. All right, thank you. Madam Clerk, the vote reflects passage of the motion.

After the last time that this conversation came up, I didn't think we'd be revisiting this, but since we did this a few years ago and I threw the challenge out and walked away with it, I guess we'll throw it back out again this year. And I think I came in maybe two or three times the hall that anybody else on the council or the mayor came in with. So we'll have to see what you guys want to do this year. Okay? You're going to do it. So. Woo! It's getting rough. Thank you, Council Member Myers. Council Member Ellinger. Thank you, Mayor. I will be ringing the bell between 3 and 5 this Saturday out at the Sears. So regardless of who wins, everybody's a winner in this community. So let's get out and ring that bell. But I still do have that challenge that I am going to work hard to try to beat your record. So I will be working hard to try to get that. But everybody's a winner here helping the Salvation Army. Thank you. We've got a voice from the right over here. Council Member Lawless. I, too, just wanted to comment on whether or not we were going to have a challenge here about who could raise the most money. And I'm still wondering if you ever found now mayor, then Vice Mayor Gray's kettle that went missing when he rang four or five years ago. That was apocryphal. That was entirely, yeah, that was all made up. I can't believe it. We rang one time. We did? No, that's right. Yeah. All right. Well, I think this demonstrates how much enthusiasm, a lot of enthusiasm, Peggy, so thank you for your encouragement, everybody. There's a motion by Council Member Crosby to adjourn, and there's a second by Vice Mayor Gordon. Unless there's an objection, we will stand adjourned. Thank you.
