Kay criticized the defeat of a resolution that would have streamlined first and second readings, arguing the proposed changes would have saved time and improved operational efficiency. According to Kay, 13 resolutions would have been skipped under the proposed rules. **Council Member Henson** [timestamp: 01:22:53] promoted the I Know Expo, an event being held at the Lexington Center. Henson described the expo as offering services for seniors and caregivers and encouraged attendance. **Council Member Akers** [timestamp: 01:23:35] highlighted two upcoming weekend community events. Akers encouraged participation in Reforest the Bluegrass and the Now What? Lexington Unconference. ## Appointments The following appointments and reappointments were made during this meeting: * **Julian Beard** was appointed to the Commission for Citizens with Disabilities. * **Shevawn Akers** was appointed to the Community Action Council Board. * **Eva C. Trout** was reappointed to the Industrial Revenue Bond Review Committee. ## Contested Items **Resolution 0296-13 – Rules and Procedures** A resolution intended to streamline the first and second readings of ordinances and resolutions became the subject of significant disagreement during the meeting. The proposal aimed to modify procedural rules to make the reading process more efficient. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 5-9, indicating a clear split among council members. The defeat reflects a fundamental disagreement about the balance between procedural efficiency and other governance concerns. Those opposing the resolution raised concerns about transparency and record-keeping, suggesting that streamlining the reading process could compromise the public record or reduce opportunities for public input and deliberation. The debate centered on whether the efficiency gains from modifying the reading procedures would outweigh potential losses in transparency and documentation. The 5-9 vote margin demonstrates that a substantial majority of the council prioritized these transparency and record-keeping concerns over the proposed efficiency improvements. ## Roll Call Council members were called to roll at the beginning of the meeting. Susan Lamb conducted the roll call. All council members were present except for Council Member Lawless, who was absent. ## Invocation Elizabeth Fogus of First Church of Christ Scientist offered the invocation for the meeting [timestamp: 00:01:41].

And I will ask Vice Mayor Gordon to please join me, and we'll head down to the podium. Okay. So our first presentation tonight, we are again welcoming Keep It Real and the Mayor's Alliance on Substance Abuse, which works to keep our young people away from illegal drugs and alcohol. So, first, we are proclaiming April as Alcohol Awareness Month. Now, Vice Mayor Gordon will introduce a special guest. Everybody's a special guest, but this special, special guest, too. Retired Police Captain Howard Rupert, who is a member of the Mayor's Alliance on Substance Abuse. Vice Mayor, will you please introduce Howard? Thank you. the mayor and I have been involved with the Keep It Real now for a number of years and it's such a terrific effort by the high schoolers to get the message out on underage drinking and many of you in the audience have been so dedicated and of course this year was the final year for it But it is my pleasure to introduce a very special man, Captain Howard Rupert. He is a retired LFUCG police officer and is on the Mayor's Alliance on Substance Abuse. You're the treasurer, right? So you have a fund balance since it's changing. Keep it real. It's going away. We've been talking about fund balance today. So come on up and welcome to you, and thanks for all your hard work. Howard, thank you, sir. Vice Mayor, thank you. And I'm going to read this and then present it to Howard, and then he's going to speak. And this is a proclamation which says this among several whereases. Alcohol Awareness Month, April 2013. whereas alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United States, and whereas one in every 12 adults, that's 17.6 million people, suffers from alcohol abuse or dependence, and whereas alcohol is a primary factor in the four leading causes of death for young persons ages 10 to 21, and whereas young people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who begin drinking at 21, now, therefore, on behalf of all Fayette Countians, we hereby proclaim April 2013 as Alcohol Awareness Month in Lexington. Howard, we're presenting this to you for all your support, encouragement, and leadership. for so long. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much for the backing of the council, for the mayor, and this is a very worthy cause, as many causes are. But we have several people tonight that's going to be coming up for a group picture yet, so I'm just representing many of them. But we appreciate the cooperation from everybody and the community, and we're trying to make a difference as we all are. So thank you so much. Thanks, Howard, and don't go too far away. We've got to get a picture here in just a second. But before the pictures, I want to introduce the second member of the Mayor's Alliance, Donna Wiesenhahn. And Donna will tell us about this year's Keep It Real video winners. and show us the videos, right? All right. Come on up here, Donna. It couldn't possibly be April without getting to see your Keep It Real video winners, right? And so that's probably the first thing. It is, like Vice Mayor Gordon said, unfortunately, this is our last year for Keep It Real. This was funded by a federal grant, and those grants have been cut. and this year it turns out was the most incredible contest that we've had. We had over 84 entries, a record, all from high school youth, all creating these fabulous videos that you're getting ready to see, the ones from the people here in Fayette County that had a lot of winning. We had them from Ohio. We had them from Virginia. This program is one that has national interest. So we're sad to see it go. We will not stop what we are doing about underage drinking. We cannot stop what we're doing on underage drinking. And you know we can't because of all of the differences that it's made for these young people as well as for our community. So together in the nine years that Keep It Real has been going on, There's been a million, over a million and a half votes cast online for the winning videos where it's all done. We've affected more than 2,000 kids have been involved in this Keep It Real. And we've had people who now work for Disney. We have people who've gone on making a career in BCTC. This is a really program that has created some nice waves. So we don't want it to stop. We'll probably be coming to you for ideas, actually. But now, how about if we see the videos? This is Henry Clay. This video is for Best Direction. Hey, hey, hey. Want a drink? No, I'm good, thanks. Give a round. Yay! Now we have Dunbar, and this one was for Best Art Direction. Shout out to alcohol, not your dreams. Keep it real. Don't drink underage. Yay! Isn't that wonderful? When alcohol finds you was best comedy. I don't think he can get us from here. You all kind of just throw it away. When alcohol finds you, know what to do. Keep it real, don't remember age. Eastside Technical, this is for, let's see, this is Sermon, Best Cinematography. Man, quit drinking, man. You know, just keep it real. You don't have to drink to follow everybody. Nuh-uh. You can just be you. You can make them follow you, follow your decisions. Don't. Don't follow other people. Be a leader. You don't have to drink underage Just to feel cool You're cool by yourself Amen Amen Just think, don't drink, best editing Keep it real, man If you ain't 21, you shouldn't be drinking, man Real talk You don't want that Keep it real Keep it real, just think Keep it real, don't drink Before you do it, just think I'ma tell you from experience, I've been through it I done seen people that can't walk, that can't talk That think it's true until they puke And then they don't know what to do And this one is Best Original Music. Heart drops, well young you do better, pop and calm drop. What you trying to pull? Drink your life through a bottle, sip of death, won't you swap? All right. Those are all the fabulous winners from Fayette County. And now you get to meet some stars because we have some stars here to show you. From Henry Clay, teacher Matthew Logsdon. He is the one teacher who's been involved in Keep It Real all nine years. Matthew is a real hero. Please stand up. And in his was Augustus Logsdon, who is no relation. Beth McKenzie, did she make it in from Dunbar? Not quite, but some of her, Loggin Hill and Grant Harold? They didn't make it. Jay Salmon, Jay Bishop, or Patrick Marlowe? Okay. Eastside Technical, Michelle is here. Michelle they've entered for two years and in both the years that they've entered they have taken prizes for best in something each time it's amazing we've got Shaman Atkins I don't think we're Tom Johnson didn't make it but Aaron Looch Dan? Yay! And Jacob Bryant. I'm going to let these young people who are here give you something because to let you know that we're not going to stop on our underage drinking, we're having a special underage drinking conference. And we're going to let them give you a paper about it. We hope you will come. It's a dialogue on underage drinking that's going to be held in June. If you'll take those and if each of you will give these, as well as they also work with us on some coaches initiative. The thing that we can say to you, I don't know if any of you have ever tried to create a video. I have. It was awful. Have you tried to create one? Mine was awful. I think one more time, if we could give a huge applause to these incredible young people. And Mayor Gray, we do want to thank the urban county government, Mayor Gray, Vice Mayor Gordon.

They educate, they go out to the elementary and middle schools and speak and educate the students about the harmful effects of alcohol and drugs. And I'm just proud of these students and to work with them. Thank you. Thanks, Paula. And next from Tate's Creek High School is Joe Geddes, also a teacher. I would like to thank you for this honor. I have been a tattoo sponsor at Taysprick High School now for 10 years. And the program does a great job of advocating tobacco-free in our elementary and middle school students. The kids do all of the hard work. I'm just the background. I have one student here, Arlie Langster, who is a student leader in our organization at school. And I also wanted to thank another student. Her name is Natalie Betts. and she who has made the video that's going around on Facebook and other local websites for our Kickbutt Day back in March. So thank you again for this huge honor. Thanks, Joe, Anita, and Paula. Thank you all very much. And now I'm going to ask if our... Anita Coleman. Anita Coleman. Uh-oh. We've got one more. Ah, Anita. Anita Courtney. Oh, well, okay. Before, yes, Anita, I'm so sorry. It's a rough day. And our next public health hero is Anita Courtney with the Tweens Coalition. Anita, now I've got your proclamation right here. And this recognizes Anita Courtney and proclaims April 14, 2013 as Anita Courtney Day in recognition of her commitment to improving the health of all Lexington citizens. Thank you so much for acknowledging the work of the Tweens Nutrition and Fitness Coalition to increase the access of healthy food to children in Lexington. I want to acknowledge that Lexington Parks and Recreation was the first group to partner with us on the Better Bites program. They started in 2011 with only 3% of the foods on their concession menu healthy. This summer is going to be 68%. And I just want to let you know that pioneering work that Parks and Recreation did has opened the door for the Lexington Legends Ballpark to have all healthy food in their kids' zone to the YMCA, after-school programs, school concession stands, camps, and we've just unveiled Better Bites Restaurant Edition, and the 17 state parks have joined in. So that's a new frontier. The final group that's joining us are corner stores that are joining our Good Neighbor Store certification program, And they're going to put Better Bites in front and center so when kids come in before and after school, they'll have the access to this healthier food. So we're trying to get this brand everywhere kids turn. So thank you to Parks. Thank you to the council. Anita, thanks for that enthusiasm. It's contagious, clearly. Okay, now, now I can introduce Dr. Rice Leach, the director of our health department. Dr. Leach. Thank you, Mayor Gray. Just very quickly, I've been reading 110 years' worth of minutes from our Board of Health. And what's going on here tonight is typical of the last many, many years. What's also typical tonight of the last many years is a mayor and a council who've been there when we needed you on many, many things over many years. I'm not going to go into all of that, but it would be not proper to forget to acknowledge government and public health go together. I worked with the Indians for a long time, and one of the things you come away from that experience with is you realize that we're all here as adults. to launch the next generation. We're here to give them roots so they know where they came from and wings to get where they're going. And every one of these groups that has been recognized tonight is in the business of giving them wings to get where they're going. Healthy food, substance abuse avoidance, and no smoking. You read things in the medical literature about how to live a long, healthy life, and there are about seven really key ones. One of them is get seven or eight hours sleep every night, but also don't smoke, drink in moderation, and the best way to do that is leave it in the bottle, as was shown in some of the videos, and eat breakfast every day and regular meals of a moderate and modest intake. I mean, that's what they're doing. And, guys, that's what saves the money over the long haul. And it's also consistent with what we put together as a community, not just the health department but a lot of different people, something called a public health improvement plan. Safe neighborhoods so you can get some exercise. If there's no drinking and no drugging, it's easier to have a safe neighborhood to burn off some calories to get healthy. Obesity. The whole food program is to have you have the kind of body the good Lord had in mind when we were born and not tear it up with the wrong stuff coming in. And then smoking has everything to do with a third piece of leg of that triangle, which is public health ought to be doing things to help people be healthy enough to get a job. Because if you have a job, you have some disposable income. and if you have disposable income, your health status goes up. Thank you for recognizing these wonderful grown-ups that are helping to lead and tomorrow's youth that's going to make it happen. I congratulate all of you and thank you for giving me my couple of minutes. Thanks, Rice. One more set of pictures, okay? Everybody, Anita and Emily and Joe and Paula and the teams, okay? Everybody with the heroes. And Dr. Leach, you can't abandon us now. You guys have got to come up too. Steven? You need to jump in there too, don't you? Yeah. Good. Jump in there. Thank you. All right. I'll try to dress right. About three steps. Everybody looks like. There we go. There we go. Very good. All right. Thank you very much. Yeah, you're fine. All right. Very good. Thank you. Thank you. I did. Thank you, Dr. Leach. Always a prayer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning. All right. Thank you all again. All right.

And we have communications for information only. And I would like to go ahead and ask a question about this, Commissioner Mason. I meant actually to ask it on Tuesday at work session. And I've noticed for the first time in a long time there are quite a few police and firefighters who have resigned. They are recruits for the most part. Okay, they're recruits who dropped out of the class. They are recruits who dropped out of the class. On police, there are three recruits and then one officer who resigned. You're all familiar with that situation. fire two recruits, one resignation for personal reasons, and one resign to relocate to far western Kentucky as well. I've got a job down there. I appreciate that. Council members, do you have any more questions on the communications? Are there any announcements? Council Member Kay. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just want to make a comment on a vote that was taken tonight. And I know that's risky, but I'm going to risk it anyway. So before this particular thing sinks ignobly beneath the waves, I want to let people know that the resolution that got defeated was a resolution about changing the rules of council that would streamline the reading, the first and second readings, of ordinances and resolutions. By my count, there were 22 employees of the urban county government in chambers when the reading began. There are still 19 present. It took 45 minutes. What would have been different, I have the docket from Thursday, March 21st, the last time we were in session before the break. I want to read to you the resolutions that would not have been read at that meeting had these rules been in place. Number 1, number 4, number 5, number 17, number 18. Number 21, number 24, number 25, number 30, number 31, number 32, number 34, number 35, number 36. I can't read as fast as the clip. Number 37. So I understand that there were concerns and legitimate ones about questions of record keeping, loss of counsel prerogative, and other issues of transparency. I saw them differently. But if we leave those aside just in terms of efficiency, I think this was an unfortunate vote. And I hope that within the next year or two, we'll actually be able to bring this particular way in which Council functions to be a little more effective and efficient for our citizens. Thank you, Vice Mayor. You are welcome. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just wanted to remind everyone of the I Know Expo that is Sunday from 12 till 6, I believe, at the Lexington Center. So if you have a senior parent or someone you're caring for, if you're a senior yourself, and you just want to know what services are available, it will be a great opportunity. So thank you, Vice Mayor. You're welcome. Council Member Akers? Thank you, Vice Mayor. There's a couple of events happening this weekend that I wanted to share. One is Reforest the Bluegrass. That's one of my favorite events of the year, and that will be happening, let's see, out in Councilmember Lane's district, out Briar Hill Road, and that begins on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. also this weekend Saturday is the Now What? Lexington Unconference that will be held at the Carnegie Center and that begins at 10 a.m. and so there's a lot going on and I hope everybody finds something to do thank you any other council announcements and I believe there's no one for public comments all those in favor say aye aye anybody opposed we are adjourned have a good weekend Thank you.
