We're grateful, Father, for the community in which we live, for the strengths that we enjoy, for the beauty that we have.

We have one presentation tonight to honor and recognize the state champion Lafayette Marching Band. This was at Vice Mayor Gordon's suggestions. I'm going to head down to the podium now. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Tonight we are joined by Lafayette High School's Pride of the Bluegrass Marching Band and commemorating yet another state championship in 2012. In addition to winning its 17th state title year, the band is heading to Pasadena, to Pasadena, California, to march in the Rose Bowl Parade, the Rose Parade on New Year's Day. They will be one of only 15 high school bands in the parade, the only one from Kentucky. So today we are officially commemorating the band's many accomplishments, and I want to welcome band director Chuck Smith and the drum majors who are with us tonight, Weitong Liu, Emily Hutchinson, Jessica Abney, and Chloe McIntosh. So let's give them all a big hand. Thank you. Thank you. as soon as you get there. Okay. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much. We're very, very happy to be here and celebrating our 17th state championship with you. Thank you so much for the invitation. We do appreciate that. We do have our drum majors here representing the band students who are actually just now ending rehearsal back at Lafayette for our Tournament of Roses parade, and so we were able to kind of slip away here a little bit early. But Ms. Hutchinson, Ms. Emily Hutchinson, is one of our senior drum majors, and she would like just to take a few moments to share a few thoughts. So this past season, our band was awarded our 17th title at the KMEA State Championships in Bowling Green, Kentucky. While the journey we faced seemed like a steep climb up a long hill, we brought a show that was exciting and powerful, and during awards, we were shown how our hard work had paid off. It was an amazing moment that we will never forget. In previous years, that night would have been our last for the season, and for some of us, the last ever. However, this year we've been blessed with an outstanding opportunity to participate in the 2013 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. Last year, it was announced to us that we'd be going, and at that time, it honestly seemed like a dream. Nowadays, that dream is becoming much more real as we prepare for the five-and-a-half-mile march down Colorado Boulevard. We're all counting down the days, the hours, and the minutes until we depart to go 2,100 miles across the country for this unique once-in-a-lifetime experience. The community has especially helped us along the way with the tremendous support they've given us, and for that we are truly thankful. Thank you. Yeah, that's it. No, Mary. Thank you. I'm not tall enough. Oh, you're tall, though. You're tall, though. You're tall, though. My gang, you can't wait for the product. It's beautiful now. My God, it's here. One more time. Nice, nice, nice. Nice, nice. How's that game? Mayor says, let's go to the club. So, stay on. Have me another class. All right, so we've got camera uno. Well, that's a look like we're excited.

Motion by Vice Mayor Gordon, second by Councilmember Farmer. next is communications for information only next announcements the floor is open for announcements councilman Martin I want to announce that I'm not coming back no this is my last council meeting and I want to say a few things I really want to thank my council aides Mary Tackett, Allison Webster and Jonathan Hollinger I asked Jonathan to stay tonight so I could say it in front of everybody. They have just really been just terrific folks, exceptionally smart and talented, and it's just really been an honor working with them. I want to thank the employees and the council clerk, Susan Lamb, night granny. Susan drives a motorcycle, rides a motorcycle, So I wanted her to come in and drive around before. So she said she'll do that on her last day of employment, which probably will be your last day if you do that. But really, in a culture where taxes, government, and government employees are criticized and demonized as the cause of all of our problems, I really want to thank this. I'm proud to serve not only in this government, but with these employees. and they really say a lot about what good government can be. And as I said, our holiday lunch, and I'll say it again, but I think it needs to be said, for the rest of my life I'll be proud that I have served on the city council. I'll tell my kids, I'll tell my grandkids that I used to be on the Lexington City Council. And it's because it's a pleasure to serve with this mayor and with this council and with these employees. And it really is, it's a true honor. And so to my colleagues, it's been an honor serving with you all. As the mayor says, it's democracy in action. And I will look back on our service together with fondness and with good memory. So I thank you for the honor of serving with you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Doug. Council Member Crosby. Thank you, Mayor. I can't beat that. I looked over and you've got like three pages of notes over there. I thought, oh my goodness. As always, I'll shoot from the hip. And I too am not coming back. And I just want to say thank you so much to Lexington and to all the employees for the opportunity to serve. God has blessed me in so many ways. And it's just been a tremendous experience to my fellow council members. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. I know sometimes we've had some contentious nights up here, but it is truly an honor to serve with such a fine group of people. I wish you all the best of luck, Mayor Gray, and to your administration. Thank you. I wish you luck in the next two years and maybe some more, as you had a big announcement a few weeks ago. And, again, just thank you all for the opportunity. And, again, I've been blessed. And maybe you all will see me again down here raising a little cane. Who knows? Just kidding. Thank you. God bless. Thank you. Thank you, Casey. Council Member Blues. Well, thank you, Mayor, and thank you all of my colleagues and commissioners and directors present and past over the last six years. It has been a pleasure and an honor and a real privilege to serve with you. I've never enjoyed such an ordeal so much. It has truly been a magnificent experience for me. perhaps less so for others, but it's been great fun, and I have learned an enormous amount. You know, when I came on council, I knew I was completely unqualified for this job because I hadn't gone to law school, I hadn't majored in business, with a double major in accounting and economics. I wasn't an engineer. I hadn't taken any courses in city planning. All I knew was basically how to read and write, and I couldn't even count to eight. So you talk about lifelong learning. I think I've had a sufficiency of it for the past six years. I feel so well educated now that I think I can take on pretty much anything, but maybe a little respite for a while. Thank you again. It has been a wonderful experience. I thank the voters for giving me this privilege. I do want to thank Georgetta Gill, my aide, who has stuck with me for the entire six years. And I wish also my successor well. I think she'll be a great colleague for all of you. Thanks again. It's been wonderful. Thank you. Vice Mayor Gordon. I think actually Casey Crosby wanted to say something. This is why I should have three pages of notes. I forgot to thank my aide, Steve Smith. Thank you. I could not do this without you. Thank you so much, and thanks for hanging out tonight. Sorry. Thanks, Councilman Crosby. Vice Mayor Gordon. Thank you, Mayor. Well, we know Tom can now count to eight, and that's a good thing. When you think about this, it's a very strange situation because I did not, none of you probably knew very many of the people up here before you were elected. And then we come together, and you're expected to get along, to work on issues that are critical to our city, make votes, spend more time with your colleagues than with your family sometimes. And it's unlike anything else. And so I want to thank each of the three of you. As I said the other night, and the mayor has often said, you know, you can't make this stuff up, what happens around this horseshoe. And you really can't. And I want to thank each of you for taking that step to put yourselves in the public realm, to give up your privacy in many ways, and to work for what you feel is the best for the community. I think everybody up here does that, and I know that Councilmember Martin, Councilmember Crosby, and Councilmember Blues all have done what they felt was best for our community. And I know that the citizens all appreciate that. When I think of Councilmember Martin, who served us four years of your life, and I think of a lot of things. I think of your passion for the arts. I think of pensions. I think of trails resurfacing, singing. You brought us some light moments along the way. And when I think of Council Member Crosby, I think of a person who, in your six years, you were very attentive to process, to public safety issues, and to really digging into the problems in your district. And Pennington Place is a huge example of that and the difference that your work has made in your district. And then when I think of Lord Thomas of the Meadowthorpe, oh, I mean Council Member Blues, the mayor and I like to call him Lord Thomas of the Meadowthorpe, I think of all of the task forces and committees you have chaired in six years. The capacity assurance, the design excellence task force, noise, economic, I mean the environmental quality, the list goes on and on. And Tom, you've done yeoman's work in your district as well as take on those bigger issues for the whole community. So I thank each and every one of you, and I know you're going to be reading good books and taking long walks, and you probably won't watch government TV, but we will miss you all. Thank you so much for your service. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Miller. Floor's still open. Yep. Council Member Martin? I just want to say, I forgot to mention that I am going to be down there with Mr. McCarthy. There you go. Giving you my three minutes every chance, so that's right. Well, thanks, Doug. Well, I'll say, you know, we had a good time the other night with a party downstairs and proclamations and so forth. And at a time like this when there's adjustments and changes and learning, I always taxi back to six months after Council Member Kay was elected, and we were standing right out there behind you, Lord Farmer. In the hallway at the elevators. And Steve had been on board for about six months then. And I asked him, I said, so what do you think of it? How do you like it? And he said, you know, in a very modest way, the way Steve K. is, he said, I feel like I've done a few things in my life, but I've learned more in this six months than I've ever learned doing anything else. And the reason I bring that up is I'm sure that, Doug, that you felt that way in those first six months and still feeling that way. Casey, I know we've talked about it the same way. And Tom, you know, what Linda was saying really resonates, that people come together through this remarkable experience of democracy. even here at the local level, and we work through these issues. You know, the public looks at GTV. They see us reading these resolutions. They see the clerk reading these resolutions and ordinances and thinking, and how many times have you all had them ask, what in the world? Aren't you bored to tears down there? And all you have to do is tell them, oh, you just don't know what's really going on. And now, that's why, and now you all know that. And like you said, Doug, you can tell your kids and your grandchildren whenever they watch it what's really going on. Well, you all have contributed so much. I feel like I myself, like Linda was saying, I have learned from each one of you. You've touched our hearts. You've influenced our heads and the way our city is headed. and you've done it with good humor and wisdom. And for that, we are just all really, really thankful. I can't serenade the way Council Member Farmer can, but I hope you hear the music behind my words. Thank you all very, very much. All right. Council Member Lawless. Just briefly, I want to say I've learned something from each of you. I've been surprised about some of the relationships I've made. And in keeping with the theme of TVs and books, I want to say I've learned a lot from you, Grandpa Walton. He lived across the street from me when he was a teenager and I was a young mother. Still haven't gotten over it. and my sister in crime, Nancy Drew, Casey, I will miss you, and Dr. Blues of Two and a Half Men. I'm coordinating a farewell reception for you on Richmond Avenue. Thank you. I've learned a lot, and you have really worked like nobody's business on this council, and I thank you all three. Here, here. All right. Well, I was about to get there. I was looking at the docket. That's it. There is a motion to adjourn. Thank you all very much. And a second. Oh, public comment. I'm sorry. Mr. Mundy says nobody here. So we will take the motion from Council Member Crosby, seconded by Council Member Martin, and thirded by Council Member Blues. Aye. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. The ayes have it. We are adjourned.
