Music Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry. Greetings, greetings, greetings, everyone. Hello, and thank you all for staying with us or joining us. Before we get started, after I called the meeting to order, But before we get started with the routine agenda, I wanted to mention as a moment of memorial tribute that former Councilman Dave Bunnell died Thursday, April 4th. Many in our community knew Dave well. He served from 1982 to 1993 as a Councilmember. He was a Kentucky Golf Hall of Famer inducted last fall. He was co-founder of the Larry Gilbert Foundation, renamed the Larry Gilbert Dave Bunnell Foundation, and helped establish the first T chapter of Lexington. Both primarily focused on getting youth involved in golf. As a councilman in the 1980s, Dave was instrumental in getting Kearney Hill's Lynx course established, and he is survived by his wife Patsy and sons Todd and Bo and daughter Kate. So we all express our thoughts and sympathy to them and acknowledge Dave Bunnell's service to our community in so many ways. All right. Before public comment, well, I'll go ahead and, Mr. Mundy, Has anybody signed up for public comment on issues on the agenda? All right, sir. Thank you. I'll ask Vice Mayor Gordon for a motion.

And we all want to thank you, each and every one, for serving our community and protecting animals in our community. Thank you all. Okay, now I'm going to, this is the proclamation.

With us today is Sergeant Gibson and one of our animal care and control officers. Or Sergeant Browning, I'm sorry. And as such, we did honor them last year, not nearly as formally as we did. But if everyone recalls, last year Sergeant Browning was in the hospital in intensive care because she'd been attacked. And she couldn't be here last year, but she's here front and center today.

Motion by Council Member Massadi, second by Vice Mayor Gordon. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. just in taking these in total, items A through Y, I guess page 11 and 12 give us the total effect of fund balance, which according to this would be a decrease in the general services of only about $2,000. Okay. I'm just looking out for the fund balance. I'm in good shape. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Vice Mayor Gordon. Thank you, Mayor. I just have a quick question for Mr. O'Meara. About item O, and this is the occupational license fee sharing with the Woodford County Fiscal Court, and I was just curious about what is the purpose of this. Well, state statute requires that we keep occupational tax information confidential, but that we can share with other tax administration if we have a confidentiality agreement. So we have worked with law to come up with a standard so that we can share between governments on occupational tax issues. Then we plan to do it for contiguous counties as well. And the sharing is just pure information so that they're aware of what we're collecting and we're aware of what they're collecting? Well, for instance, if occupational tax is for time spent in a jurisdiction, and if they say that 70% of my time is outside of Fayette County and then they ask for a refund and they say that they're working in Frankfurt. So we can share that application for refund and say, Frankfurt, are you aware that this person spends 70% of their time working in jurisdiction? And vice versa. Okay, that makes perfect sense. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Any further 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. Next on the agenda is continuing business and presentations. Is there a motion first on the NDS? Motion by Council Member Ellinger. Is there a second? Second by Council Member Clark. Is there any discussion on the motion regarding NDS? Okay. Hearing none, then we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. gives us a chance to move on to Environmental Quality Committee Summary. March 5th meeting, Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Mayor. We met on February the 12th. The first item on our agenda was a review of the Environmental Quality Public Education Initiatives. Mark York from the Division of Environmental Quality did a presentation. Mr. York said that there was an outreach targeted to students, businesses, as well as homeowners, as well as targeted bilingual messaging. They had to review a focus group that found citizens wanted more information on specific actions in environmental quality so they could improve water quality overall. There were several questions asked about this. In particular, the annual budget question was asked by Councilman Massati and the amount of $545,000 that is spent on the public outreach, $245,000 which is allocated to Bluegrass Pride for their educational messaging, and an additional $200,000 was spent on advertising, workshops, and flyers. The second item or the third item on our agenda was the Empower Lexington update. Council members, if you remember, we had our first presentation about this a year ago. This was introduced into committee by Council Member Kay. James Bush, once again, providing us an update with how Lexington is moving forward in saving our energy bill that comes from 30,000 streetlights, 122 buildings, 71 pump stations, 7 pools, 62 parks, 5 golf courses, and 3 wastewater treatment facilities in our LFUCG energy service area. The campaign started with an inventory and audit of all the various utility rates for all the LFUCG facilities. He stated that review of the rates were changed to more cost-effective structure savings, over $600,000, and avoided energy costs. And last but not least, the last item on our agenda, or next to last item on our agenda, the hard-to-recycle materials was postponed into our next meeting. And then the last item was our monthly financials. On our monthly financials, Commissioner O'Meara reported the Sanitary Sewer Operating Fund had a beginning fund balance of $4.8 million, year-to-date revenue of $29.5 million, and expenses of $18.5 million for a net difference of $11 million compared to a full budgeted difference of $4 million. Mr. O'Meara also reported that the Sanitary Sure Capital Fund had a beginning reserve of $52.2 million year-to-date, revenue of $69,000, and year-to-date expenses of $3.5 million. Mr. O'Meara also reported on the Landfill Fund had a beginning fund balance of $11.1 million, which is the unrestricted fund balance, with a year-to-date of $3.7 million and year-to-date expenses of $5.8 million. Last but not least, the Water Quality Fund also had a year-end fund balance of $7.2 million, year-to-date revenue of $6.7 million, and year-to-date expenses of $5.1 million. The meeting adjourned at 1.05 p.m. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Stenet. Next on our agenda is a Planning and Public Works Committee summary. March 5th meeting. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. We did meet, well, mine says March 12th, but we'll just go for it. We approved our summary. Then we had a follow-up presentation about right of entry, which has to do with the fact that current laws do not allow staff in the Division of Planning to enter a property. And this has been subject of some commentary back and forth between ourselves and the Planning Commission, and there were no motions on this item at this time, but we have had a subsequent meeting to bring this back to our next Planning and Public Works Committee meeting. Next, we had a Newtown Pike Extension update, and it was a really good update. I think there was subsequent coverage about it, at least in the newspaper for sure. I think the most interesting part of that was in the final phase that goes across South Broadway and over to Gate 1, at least the way it's drawn right now, part of limestone would be permanently closed as that intersection would change. It would be a rather complicated intersection, and as someone who's always an advocate for traffic circles, it looks like there's a great place for one right there. Our next item was number four, the Todd's Road update, which I think the main thing here was to make sure that this wasn't split into two separate projects, but one that would kind of move all the way through the entire length of the roadway. and then last item we took up was our paving update which i know we've seen subsequent emails back and forth and the focus is going to be placed on our our paving outreach that is indeed not just ramping up but ongoing and the fact that we're going to focus on trying to get as much of that done during this paving season as season as possible none of those resulted in any any motions We looked at items in the committee and removed one, and that would be my report at this time, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Farmer. And, Council Member Ford, can you give us a summary of the report of Social Services and Community Development? Thank you, Mayor. The Social Services and Community Development Committee met on March 19th. The meeting was called to order at 11.02 a.m. A motion by Council Member Ellinger and a second by Council Member Beard to approve the summary of the January 22, 2013 meeting. The first item on the agenda was workforce development and training. We welcomed Mr. Darrell Smith, who serves as the chair of the Bluegrass Workforce Investment Board, and he presented the myriad of services that they provide, not only in Fayette County, but in the Bluegrass region. He talked a little bit about the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Mr. Smith also discussed the interlocal agreement that the Bluegrass Workforce Investment Board enters into with the 17 counties. He also mentioned the fact that Fayette County is the one and only county which has not signed that interlocal agreement. That garnered a lot of discussion amongst the committee members present. Councilmember Kaye asked the administration to come back with recommendations as to whether or not our government is in position or interest to sign the agreement. Councilman Stenet echoed that request. CAO Hamilton pledged to address the interlocal agreement at our next meeting. The next item on the agenda was the fiscal year 2014 partner agency review. It was presented by our Commissioner of Social Services, Commissioner Beth Mills. in regards to the partner agency budget review process. She stated that it was for information only and that no action was requested of the committee at that time, just that the council had asked to see the funding recommendations earlier in regards to previous years. Commissioner Mills informed us that the administration had recommended that it increased partner agency funding by $250,000 from fiscal year 2013. She stated that the review process is a competitive process and was carried out by independent third-party reviewers, including representatives of the council. Craig Benz of her staff also did a good job of providing background in regards to the process. CAO Hamilton addressed the committee and brought forth a message from Mayor Gray and the administration that concerns in regards to the process would be taken into consideration by their office. Council Member Ellinger expressed concerns in regards to the point reduction for applications that were considered late, and there was some discrepancy in that regards. Commissioner Mills provided a response in regards to the policy that late applications were to be rejected, but it was an administrative position to, in lieu of rejection, to allow the 20-point deduction. There was great discussion amongst the committee, and there was a reminder that it was the council-initiated process that led to our efforts thus far, and that hopefully the upcoming needs assessment will provide for greater clarity in the future. The only item on the agenda for that data that we were not able to attend to due to time constraints with the adult and tenant services presentation that we hope to hear at our next meeting. The meeting adjourned at 12.57 p.m. Mayor, that concludes my report. Thank you, Council Member Ford. Next on our agenda is a report by Council Member Ellinger on the Budget and Finance Committee. Thank you, Mayor. The Budget and Finance Committee met on March 19th. We had five items on the agenda. The first one, we passed the February 19th Committee meeting summary. The second item was the monthly financial report. Bill O'Meara, the financial commissioner, provided the financial report. He stated that unemployment rate was in a positive position. The general fund revenue is lagging behind the budget revenue by slightly over a million through February. Melissa Luker, acting budget director, discussed revenue and expenditures. She stated that the year to date, the total actual revenue collection is approximately $2.7 million ahead of budget, primarily due to increasing the services ad valorem categories. Net profits category is approximately $2.5 million below budget year to date. Actual expenses are approximately $6.6 million below the budget expenses year to date. primarily due to diligent management and personal accounts. Operating expenses are about 1.8 less than budget year to date. Mr. Mayor discussed the fiscal year 13 projected revenue statement. Due to an anticipated downturn in economic indicators, they are now forecasting general fund revenue at $283 million compared to $289.4 million in the original budget. Net profits category is forecast to be $5 million below budget, and the franchise fee is forecast to be $2.5 million below budget, while employee withholding is forecast to be $600,000 above budget. The next item was the fund balance review. Mr. Mayor stated that the total fiscal year 12 general fund balance was $44.3 million. Of this total, there were several legal reserve, including $1.5 million in non-spendable accounts, $18.5 million in economic contingency account, $4.5 million in the 27th payroll, and $200,000 in energy-efficient reinvestment account, leaving a subtotal fund balance of $19.6 million. Mr. Mayor stated there is also $5 million in contingency liabilities, including the legation reserve, health fund reserve funds, and home match reserve, leaving a subtotal of $14.6 million. He discussed several proposals the administration has for the remaining fund balance, including $5.7 million for capital projects, $1 million for fleet replacement, $2.5 million for streetlight transfer, and $2 million for economic development, job creation reserve, leaving an unassigned fund balance of $3.3 million. He discussed several other immediate needs identified by the administration, including $640,000 in fire overtime, $700,000 in grant match, $750,000 for fire lighter truck, which was approved by Council December 2012, $250,000 for replacement for fire engine number 8, which was involved in an accident and destroyed, and $1.6 million for police radios and a renovation of the second floor at $45,000. There was several questions by Councilmembers on contingency liabilities, fire tower, home match, economic development reserve, and others. The last issue was the temporary suspending fire equipment from services. Councilmember Massadi called on Chief Jackson to present the Division of Fire and Service and personnel adjustment elimination proposal. He stated that no more than three engine companies are taken out of service each day due to staffing shortages. He stated that the engines are taken out on a rotating basis and stated that latter companies and emergency care units, ECUs, are exempt from the plan. He also stated that the key to eliminating Browns is an authorized strength, not in overtime. He stated that the fire needs an authorized strength of 545 staff to meet minimum staffing needs and that the proposed hiring plan increases authorized strength to 557 to provide personnel to ECU 11 and fiscal year 14. He also stated the plan includes a recruit class of 35 in November, another recruit class of 30 to start in July. He stated that the budgetary impact will be $1.1 million for fiscal year 13 and $1.5 million for fiscal year 14. He said this proposal would save $800,000 over fiscal year 13 and 14 compared to eliminating brownouts through the use of overtime. A motion, and I will present this motion to the council. Motion by Council Member Mazzotti, seconded by Scotchville, to allocate $637,000 for overtime expenses to eliminate brownouts, pass unanimously. So moved. Motion by Council Member Ellinger, seconded by Council Member Mazzotti. 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. Thank you, Mayor. And the meeting was adjourned at 3.05. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Ellinger. And next on our agenda is presentation by Christy Stamball from our Division of Department of Social Services on the I Know Expo. Christy, thank you. Thank you. Thanks for having us today. For the past four years, the Commission for Citizens with Disabilities has been hosting the Celebration of Disability Expo. This was a resource fair for people with disabilities. It was a one-day event. And for the past four years, we have just grown. Last year, we had 85 vendors. We had an educational seminar. And it got much bigger than our small commission could handle. And so this year, we're pleased to collaborate and merge our program with ITN Bluegrass and other partners like the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging and AARP to bring the I Know Expo. And I'd like to recognize, I thought that some people from the commission would be here, but our current chair is Jill Barnett, and our current vice chair is Tracy Brewer, and Peggy Henson is on our commission, and we're very thankful. And we have a new commission member, and do you remember? Jillian Beard, thank you for agreeing to be on that commission with us. So it's my pleasure to introduce Gail Reese. She's the current chair of the Senior Services Commission. She's the founder of ITN Bluegrass, and she is the creator of the I Know Expo. So, Gail. Well, thanks. Thank you, Christy. First, let me say to the council, you don't know how appreciative we are as citizens of Fayette County to have a Department of Social Services like you've got. Between Beth Mills and Christy Stambaugh, it is exciting to work with the city. So thank you so much for incorporating their services into our community. Go girls. Let me go straight to the problem. Whoops, I went past the problem. Okay. Over the last 17 years, I've been the primary caregiver for three members of my family. And not until my mother was very ill last spring did I realize how big the problem was. I was in the aging business. I thought, I know how to do this. Well, when it's your own family, it's your own time, it's a different story. So I started doing research on caregivers. AARP says that 29% of the national population is currently caregiving someone who is an elder, has a disability, or a chronic illness. Now, if you take the current Fayette County population of 300,000 people, you will see that in Fayette County, that's 87,000 people. That's a really big number. Of those, 74% are working, as I was during all three of my stints. And of those, 81% out of necessity have to take time during their workday or their lunch hours or take off early to care for their loved ones or their neighbors. So that is the issue. I've got to back up by telling you I'm not here to ask you for money. So that should be a good thing. But to make these numbers a little more personal, we've got some videos to show. And I want to thank everyone who participated in these. These are showing on GTV3. housing, how to stay mobile, sharp, and engaged, how to take care of myself as a caregiver. Sometimes I think they feel that you're taking over and they don't want to give up those They just want you to do what you've been doing very slowly. Working with my mom, it was the fact that my mom had mini strokes. And I used to say to her, and I never could understand, it seems like she would attack me. And then the next day or so, she'd have a mini stroke. So one day I said to her, I said, you know, I can tell when you're going to have a mini stroke. And she said, how is that? I said, because you always treat me bad. And so she turned to me, and with a really big tear in her eye, she said, I don't mean to. And from that day on, I would just laugh it off. Whenever she got angry with me or whenever she did. And then I would go away. And it gets so to you because this is the person that took care of you. And then now you reverse roles, and you're taking care of them, and they strike back at you. One of the things that I think is interesting, my mom used to say all the time, whatever happens to me, I hope I never lose my mind. And she got Alzheimer's. The best thing that any caregiver can do is do the best they can. And then when it's all over, there's nothing for you to be regretful for because you've done it. You've taken care of whomever you need to take care of, but you do it day by day and do the best that you can offer. So I thought I knew what successful aging was, and I thought this is the way people should try to live. Keep active, do things, and it's what we think about today. Eat right and take exercise. So I learned all about Alzheimer's because we studied Alzheimer's and stroke and everything at Sanders Brown, and I was chair of it for four years. So it was ironic, ironic that my husband developed Alzheimer's. That was a slow, gradual process. And I look back on it and see evidences of Alzheimer's that I wouldn't recognize, I didn't recognize at the time. But then it came to be a time when we played bridge with a lot of a group, really about eight couples. It was a big group. And he was in charge of the, he was called the director of the British Club. Well, they all realized he couldn't do it. He just couldn't do the math. He couldn't do everything. So that began, we began to look at it. But I still did, and this was 15 years ago, and Alzheimer's was not as acceptable as it is today. And I was scared if I really realized, and I went to see Dr. Marksberry. I knew he had it, but I didn't want to admit that because I thought everybody would just dismiss him. Because we thought, well, what will you say to somebody who has Alzheimer's? They didn't realize that Alzheimer's people have feelings. It's just the same. They are still people. You just can't do everyday things the way you could, and they forget. and then things happened like he took his car to the to the post office and the people post office called me. Mr. H is here and he can't find his car you know things like that. Had to take away the keys to the car. Had to do a lot of things and he got he walked a little in the neighborhood and got lost so things happened and we I had to accept it. So that's a pretty dramatic two personal examples from our community. And I'm sure each of you has someone either in your immediate family or someone that you know that has a story similar to these. So that's the issue. What I discovered, and let me go ahead and just tell you one second, At ITM Bluegrass, we've been giving rides now for four and a half years, 20,000 rides as a private organization with volunteers using their own time and their own vehicles. What we discovered, though, when we have been giving these rides, is that the family members would call us and they would have other needs. They would say, okay, you're driving my parent. But, you know, I need someone to go pick up their prescriptions, or I need someone, where can I find in-home care? They were asking the transportation people this. And we realized, as we were taking these distraught calls, that there was a gap in centralized information in the community. There are wonderful services with the city. There are wonderful services at UK at Sanders Brown. There are wonderful services in the Area Agency on Aging. And lots of places, private and public, but there's not one place you can go to get information about all of these. That's how we came up with Eureka, the I Know Expo. Let's get everything, everybody together, one place, one time, have a website where people can shop, maybe have some monthly combination of meetings so that we can put everything together. The thing that I liked about the image of I Know Expo is it's positive. Just like Isabel said, people are still people no matter what condition they're in. I and we want to live each day as fully and joyfully as we can. I want to know about the resources that will help make that possible. The I Know Expo is expert answers today's life-changing questions one day in one place. The first information expo in Central Kentucky for seniors, people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, people who care for them. But the important part is for anyone planning about their own future. It's never too early to think about what you're going to do when you need those things. And that's what we have to do so we're not a burden on the rest of the people in our families and our communities. So for information empowers people to say, I know. I can make a decision because I know what the options are. This is truly a public-private partnership. We're free to the public because of ITM Bluegrass, the Transportation Service, AARP, Sanders Brown Center on Aging, and the wonderful Commission for Citizens with Disabilities. Thank you. Then you can see a lot of the other public-private people who are supporting this. GTV3 has put together a fascinating segment on all of these issues thanks to Cynthia Bryant, Chris Edwards, and Gwen Brown. Thank you very much. You'll be able to see them all combined into a 15-minute show very soon, right? Very soon. So how can you help? You can promote it. You can e-blast it. You can be there. You can tell your constituents about it. And to give you an idea of what's going to be there, we're going to have, to this point, 68 exhibitors and 25 speakers. Just a few samplings. We're going to have Esther Holbert, who's a geriatric care manager. Wheeler's Pharmacy, who makes home deliveries and will sort your meds for you. Susan Bochner, who does universal design. She'll help you make your house so that you can stay in it to age in place. Dr. Jika tells you about the difference between, oh, I forgot, and do you really have some kind of problem. Financial and legal help. Jennifer Newton from the Senior Center is going to explain all those crazy things. What's the difference between assisted living and independent living and who pays for what, when, and where? So she's going to explain all of that. Detective Chris Russell is going to talk about a growing concern of elder abuse, both financial and other ways. AARP talking about the Affordable Care Act. And AARP has a wonderful program called Plan to Care, which they can put on in businesses and help a business help their employees so that they don't have to be so stressed and they can be more productive at work. Sherry Culp with a nursing home ombudsman program. And Christy is going to introduce Lexington Care. Do they already know about Lexington Care? It's a dynamite program of four things that are going to help seniors. I'll tell you real fast. I know I'm over. Post office is doing a special registry. So if a mailman notices someone hasn't picked up their mail, am I blowing your cover for it later? No, no, please. It came out yesterday. Okay. The fire department has a vial of life where your important information is in your refrigerator. Smart 911 tells the 911 operator if you've got a special need. And then the emergency management has the special needs directory. All of our seniors and everybody living alone in the community or with needs need to be registered for these things. And Christy is going to work on that at the I Know Expo. So I just want to say thank you for supporting us. And come out on Sunday if you can. And especially tell those that you love or you know who are caregiving and really, really at their wits' end to come and see if we can't give them some help. Thank you. Thanks so much, Gail, Christy, Beth. Thanks, everybody. Thank you all for being with us today. All right. That's all under the continuing business and presentations on our agenda today. And so the floor is now available for council reports. If council members wish to give a report, please sign on. And Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Myers. Council Member Clark. Thank you, Mayor. I would like to bring to the attention of the Council the rather tragic occurrence to one of our citizens, a student at Dunbar High School. You've read about it in the papers. I have an affinity for the Dunbar baseball team since several of my former players in Little League have played at Dunbar and are playing now. So I've watched this process very carefully. And as you know, Travis Gaines was diving into the ocean, has a very serious paralysis, and there are several efforts to raise funds for his recovery. So I'd like to just mention a couple. If folks would like to donate to his recovery fund, You can send a check to the Fifth Third Bank made out to benefit for Travis Gaines. Also, tonight, tomorrow night, and Thursday night, Texas Roadhouse in Beaumont Center is donating 10% of their proceeds to that fund from 4 to 10 p.m. each of those days. and there are flyers available that you simply give to the folks there at the restaurant to indicate that you'd like 10 percent of the proceeds to go to the fund. Those flyers are available on several locations, including schools and I think actually online and at the site. I also believe that there are two Buffalo Wings restaurants donating 50 percent of their proceeds, but I don't have much further information. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Clark. Council Member Lawless. Thank you, Council Member Clark, for bringing that up. Travis is the son of Officer Keith Gaines, who's a retired police officer, Keith Gaines, who was the clear unit person for much of the 3rd District and Peggy's District 2, I believe. So in the U.K., and I knew him even before I was on council, it was very, very tragic. Here's a Facebook page. Let's rally. Let's rally around Travis Gaines, and they have a long haul in front of them. So thank you, and a very well-loved family and young man. I also wanted to let people know that there is an annual meeting of the South Hill Neighborhood Association at 6 p.m. tonight at the studio of Lee Thomas Photography. Lee Thomas is the current president, and that's 427 South Mill Street. And also there is a UK campus master plan public meeting tomorrow, Wednesday at 6 at the King Alumni Building, which is on the corner of Euclid and Rose, 400 Rose Street. and there's parking available behind that, and that's open to the public if you're interested. Thank you. Oh, and Thursday Night Live is back, and the trolleys are running, so check that out. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Lawless. Council Member Stinnett. Thank you, Mayor, and welcome back. It's good to be back after a knife. Two-week break. I just want to get an update. We've had a lot of editorial comments in the local media about the zip lines, And I was just curious, Vice Mayor, can you give us an update on where the ZODA committee is and when they'll report out? Because it seems to be an issue that is getting a lot of attention, and I think some council members are wondering when we're going to hear about that and be able to weigh in and make a decision. The ZODA report will go to the council and the planning commission. And planning specifically in our workings prefers that the planning commission deal with it because then it won't be on a time clock, and there's a lot of work that's going to have to go on. And if we initiate some of the zoning text amendments, they do not feel they'll have enough time to do it. So we're almost ready to report out to both bodies. So the committee is over, done? The committee has finished its work. And when will the report out be? I don't know for sure, but soon. Okay, and then I guess, Mayor, I don't know, maybe Commissioner Mason or someone, where are we at on the enforcement on the current issue? Are we still in an enforcement capacity? I see Commissioner Paulson making his way to podium. I didn't see him in here. Thank you. You were hiding from me. Oh, I don't think so. Discussing a different issue. Not in his DNA to hide. He's too tall. I do like to sit back there. He planned it. We did file a notice of violation. He had until Monday to respond, and on Friday he filed an appeal. So it will go before the Board of Adjustment to hear the notice of violation. And would that be this month in April? It should be the next Board of Adjustment hearing. Very good. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Stanton. Any other council members wish to offer a council report today? No? All right. You had that look, Council Member Peggy Henson? No? All right. All right. Then that concludes Council Reports and allows us to move on to Mayor's Report. Is there a motion? Approval. Motion by Council Member Farmer. Was that Council Member Farmer? Second by Council Member Lane. Thank you. 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. All right. Next on our agenda is public comment for issues not on the agenda. Mr. Mundy? Nobody. After two weeks? Nobody. Okay. So there's no one signed up for issues on the agenda. Is there a that allows us to move to the adjournment unless there is a motion by Councilmember Ellinger to adjourn. Is there a second? Second by Councilmember Harry Clark. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. We are adjourned.
