You ready? Okay. All right. Thanks, Chris. Thank you all. All right. Madam Clerk, when you're ready, please call the roll. Mr. Ford? Here. Ms. Gorton? Ms. Henson? Here. Mr. Kay? Here. Mr. Lane? Here. Ms. Lawless? Here. Ms. Mazzotti? Here. Mr. Myers? Here. Ms. Scutchfield? Here. Mr. Stennett, Ms. Akers, Mr. Beard, Mr. Clark, Mr. Ellinger, and Mr. Farmer. Thank you, Madam Clerk. We have no guest clergy with us tonight, so if I'll ask that we all just stand for a moment of silence, please. All right. Thank you. All right. Next on our agenda is a public hearing for the Summit Lexington Tax Increment Financing Development Plan. I will declare the hearing is now open. Does anyone wish to address the Council regarding this issue? I have no one signed up to address the Council regarding this issue. And hearing no comment, then I will declare that the hearing is closed. To move on to ordinances requiring a second reading, Madam Clerk, will you please give us the second reading of ordinances, number one through seven. Oh, first, yeah, Council Member Ford. Thank you, Mayor. Council members, as I mentioned at the work session, the issue regarding the sidewalk right away in the Rand Avenue entry lane vicinity has brought some requested citizen input. As such, I move that item number one under second reading ordinances be removed from tonight's docket and referred to the Council's Planning and Public Works Committee. So moved. Second. There's a motion by Council Member Ford and second by Council Member Lane. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Stennett? Thank you, Mayor. Council Member Ford, thank you for making this motion. I'm just curious, is the intention, did they have a public hearing on this transfer, or are we going to have that during the public works and planning committee? Yes, sir. And I'm trying to see how I made it to second reading on ordinances, and have we had any public input on it? Thanks, Council Member Stennett. Allow me to offer an explanation, and I'll ask staff if they want to chime in. My understanding is that this issue has come before council in years past, and at that time there was a great concern and outcry from the community. The issue has since come back to the council docket, and in the interim of the first read, similar concerns have come back forward. in discussion with council members what I hope in referring this matter to the committee will offer with the sufficient time for opponents and opponents to be able to come to the committee and discuss the merits of what's being proposed and also perhaps for this council to take a look at that right-of-way issue. I visited the site yesterday and speaking only to the infrastructure, It's almost non-existent what we have out there in regards to that sidewalk. So this basically is an attempt to give the council more time to make an appropriate decision. But I know Kevin may be able to chime in, and there may be members from the audience here that wish to speak, Mayor. I don't know if that would be appropriate. Customer Ford, is this the picture you passed down? Is that the issue? That's the area. That is Rand Avenue from Martin Luther King actually is in a U-shape. that is from the perspective of, I believe, Rand Avenue. Put it back there. I'm sorry. That is the perspective from Elm Street Lane looking west towards Rand Avenue. I'm good with it. Thank you for letting me know. I look forward to public discussion on that. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. All right. We've got a motion. A second. Is there any further discussion? All right. Hearing none, then we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Is this Ms. Letter? Yes, that's what I was thinking. Why don't we do this? Laurel, why don't you, if you want to speak to this issue, then you come right ahead. That will work fine. It's very efficient. And Laurel, I have this unpopular role of alerting our guests to a three-minute protocol. And that you've got some handouts, and we appreciate that. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you very much for this time. My name is Lorella Letterer. I live at 138 East 3rd Street. I've lived there for 40 years, very proudly. I wouldn't have said that 40 years ago. In 2005, I started restoring old houses with a house right across the street. My niece has stepped in to help me. We added a house and a house. Currently, we're on house number 35. We stay in a very small area. We're just in between 3rd Street, 6th Street, Johnson Avenue, and Elm Tree Lane. In January 2009, we started on Rand Avenue. We have bought a total of 15 houses in that block. The houses that we buy are vacant. They have been neglected. You're seeing pictures before and after. That's a before picture of 242 Rand Avenue. Can you go back to the orange one? Maybe this? No. There's the after picture, the one before. I guess they didn't get in in order. Anyhow, there's a picture of the sidewalk we're talking about. I had a picture of ten houses before and after. We have tried to reclaim this area for people who want to live in a house and to own it, and we have tried to reclaim houses. The city, unfortunately, has just neglected. They all have many code enforcements. It was a haven for drug dealers and prostitutes and homeless when we moved in, when we started fixing the houses up and restoring them. We sold three of the houses. There's one more for sale. We're hoping to sell them all. The sidewalk that we're talking about is a very big problem. It's not lit. There's a light there, but it hasn't been on for four years. I've never seen it on. There's a picture I guess Chris showed you. Would you go through the sidewalk pictures, please? There's about six of them you can see. This is the sidewalk here. It's a haven for drug deals. They parked their cars on Rand Avenue. I've witnessed many, many of these, and I'd be glad to take any of you with me And you just sit there for an hour and you'll witness quite a few. Broad daylight. I don't go there after dark, but I've been told that it happens to 2, 3 o'clock in the morning. They fight there. The police are there all the time. It's a bad situation. I think that closing it off would benefit the immediate neighborhood and make it a lot safer. Commander Pape of the Central District Police is in agreement. He has called Council Member Ford and told him that, that he thinks it would be a benefit to the community to close it. I just found out about some opposition a day ago by a neighbor, and so quickly I went around, as time permitted, and I have a petition here that's in favor of closing the sidewalk from 16 members. You can see where do they live. They're very close. They're not even a block away. They're right there. They live there. They own the houses. They know what goes on. And these 16 people are in favor of it. There are more, but I couldn't find a mall home. You also have a letter from Percy Thomas, who lives at 533 Elm Tree Lane. He is currently out of town, so he sent this email. I ask for your support to be closed. I have gone through the procedures that I have been told I needed to do. and this is all new to me that it might not happen. So I appreciate your consideration. Thank you very much. Thank you, Lorella, and thanks for sharing all those remarkable projects over the last few years. All right, we have a... Is there any further discussion on the motion? Councilman Ford? Yes, sir. Thank you, Mayor. I want to thank Lorella for coming. She's done a lot of good work in our community. Chris, if you can go back to the picture of the sidewalk. Council members, I do thank you guys, hopefully, for sending this to committee to give us more time to discuss it. But I want to make something really clear and not to belabor it, but to allow us to catch our breaths in the interim. Go back to the one before that, Chris. That right there. I was out on site yesterday. I saw three teenage girls walking through this. They're about my son's age. They were walking through the path. I said, do you cut through here all the time, walk through here? They said yes. I saw another gentleman, and I'm not refuting Larela. I'm just giving my perspective as a council member. I saw another gentleman about 21 years old. He was walking through. He said, I live on rain, and I walk to the store all the time. Lastly, I saw two gentlemen. They were in the sidewalk. and I'm not certain what they were doing. I don't know. I don't want to accuse anything. So there's probably no doubt that some behavior happens in this alley. But that behavior can happen on a sidewalk that's on the frontage of property. The last thing that I want to say to implore us to send this to committee is that that is our public right-of-way. And we're almost encouraging activity. to draw and attract to an area like that if the sidewalk looks like that. That is our public right-of-way. Even more so, Mayor, I think it's appropriate for us to send this to the Planning and Public Works Committee. Thank you, Councilmembers. All right. Councilman McKay, you who speaks of the issue. Yep, Councilman McKay. Thank you, Mayor. Just briefly, I'm familiar with the issue also. It happens to be not very far from where I live, and I understand what the issues are. I would simply support Council Member Ford in putting it in committee so that the people who live in the area can have an opportunity to come forward and speak to the Council about this issue. It may be that we conclude that it needs to be closed. Fair enough. But the way that the, as I understand the procedure, the only people who got notification that it was being closed are the people who abut the property. Is that correct, Kevin? Could you? Yeah, thank you. Yes, that is correct. We typically, with these, it's handled in similar fashion as a street closure or right-of-way transfer, and therefore there was no public hearing, as you mentioned, Council Member Senate. It was basically a review of division directors as we would for, as I said, street closure. We received that information, got the information from the adjoining property owners. They already conducted a survey to where they would divide that right-of-way in half per KRS statute. And to Ms. Lutterer's credit, she worked very hard. This is a process that's been going on since, I believe, 2010, perhaps. So we tried our best to assist in closing that property so that they could lessen the issues that they've had over the course of the few years. Okay. Thank you. So basically the people who live on Rand and Elm Tree Lane did not get, appropriately not, they did not get notification that this was in progress or process and have not had an opportunity to express their interests. And I believe that it's fair to say that that particular right-of-way is used at the moment for both good and ill, that we have some enforcement issues that we need to address right there. but there are some people who believe that that's an asset to the community and not a detriment. I think we need to hear from all the people who live in the neighborhood and make a decision based on that. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member K. All right. There's no one further wishing to speak to the motion. We can take a vote. All in favor of the motion, please indicate by saying aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right. Madam Clerk.

We have a motion to approve. We have a second. Second. By Council Member Myers. Would you take the roll, please? Oh, Council Member Stenet. I'm sorry. Thank you, Chair. Going back to item 16, I'd like to hear from the administration in regards to this item. A neighborhood sent the council a letter. I know we've responded, but I want to make sure on the microphone, on the record, that we've responded to all the concerns the neighborhood had on the temporary location of the salt barn. In addition, we've done without a temporary second site of a salt barn for decades. Why is it so important now when our permanent site will be ready in 18 months? I will be able to break it down in two sessions. I have George to talk about the location. First thing is we had a mild winter for the last couple of years, and we were able to save some money. and the number one priority for the last, even when I was on a council member, that we wanted a salt barn on the east side of town where the last part to get snow removal, especially when that's been the biggest growth, as you all know, Andover, Hartland, Andover, all that area, probably the last area to usually get the snow removal. But the most important thing is we were able to save money. And the good news is we're able to take this facility that we're going to use for temporary, move it to the permanent site in two years where we don't have to raise any more money to pay. The only thing we'll probably have to raise is enough money just to move it. But we'll have most of the costs paid for now. And in two years, I can't promise what the economy is going to be or whatever, but this is the first time we're trying to be proactive. And number one thing is safety. We want to get the snow out as quickly as possible. Location, I'll let George talk about it. This was not our number one choice. Our number one choice was over there where the fire station is where Kevin told us to go to. We went to that location. We liked the location, but the fire department had told us that they're getting ready to put a fire station in a little bit quicker than they're hoping to have within the two years. So there was a $100,000 study that you all voted on this year. That was our number one choice. We then went to look at other locations. One was out there at Athens. There's no way we could get in there because the state tried. It was our original plan about five years ago to put a salt barn out there, but the state wouldn't give us an easement to get to the property. And because it was too close to Blue Sky, they wanted to make it directly across, but we didn't own the property to go directly across from Blue Sky. they wanted an interstation, so they denied it. If we were to use the location now at Athens, we couldn't get the big truck down there where the parks are, and that was going to be a major problem. And then the third, fourth location we looked at, and Council Member of the Senate has been a big help on trying to pick these locations, and I want to commend them and thank them for helping us with that. And also let me go. was over where Winchester Road is at North Elkhorn, I believe. We were looking at that, and that's in the floodplain, and we could not build in the floodplain. And in another region, safety is the number one. And the second reason we keep it where the salt barn is now at the other location on Oak Frankfurt Pike. We could be getting fine with the EPA because the cover was not working well, and there's a creek that goes by there. So this was a win-win-win on all of it. And I know Mr. Stenet's neighborhood and concerns, and you all got the letter that what the location was. I sent you all a letter on all those four answers, and I brought that up at the neighborhood meeting. And I'll let George kind of hit on some other spots. But before you go, Mr. Maloney, again, why the urgency? Why 18 months from now the consent decree says our property, where we want to put it permanently, has to be ready January 3rd of 2015? 18 months. So why would it hurt this city not to spend $36,000 and delay it 18 months? The problem is where we're presently storing the salt is in an open area where we attempt to tarp it. Once we tarp it, once we start using it, it becomes a safety hazard. This was an alternative to that. It also, now that there is a chemical that is added to the salt that is like a blue dye that keeps it from clumping, in the past, if we had runoff and it went into the creek, it was kind of there. Now it turns the creek blue and is very obvious. And so the first inspector who comes by that site, we could get a local fine of it from anywhere, as the commissioner said, for up to $25,000 per day. So you can't put the temporary shelter there? It won't fit on that site. What about the landfill next door, the pavement there? We're leasing it out for driving testing. I mean, this is adjacent to a neighborhood, and they have some legitimate concerns. And I'd like to hear also, CEO Hamilton, is this supported by all the administration? Is this site free of violations and we're getting into a lease agreement on a site that the neighborhood has complained about in terms of violations? And as long as it's free from violations, I'm good to go. And if we can assure the neighborhood that we're doing everything we can to protect that area. A lot of people to answer questions. Sure. I tried to table it earlier to have this discussion. That's all right. But we want to have it publicly. That's good, too. That's all right. Let me just fill in of why I'm going to ask Derek to answer this question. When we received the letter from the neighborhood, we started looking at alternatives because we naturally did not want to do something that disturbed the whole neighborhood. it and we looked at alternatives of things that we could do could we just go back to as you said uh council members senate and and maybe tarp differently uh where we are now with the salt barn for the next for the salt for the next 18 months and we and we can do that um we also then went to look at this site because some of the questions of the site were was the site did the site have problems on it, and meaning code enforcement problems, because the neighborhood felt that how could we as a government lease something with problems on it? And so we went out to take a look at that site, and I'm going to let Derek tell. Derek went himself to tell you what he saw there. I did. I went over yesterday and talked to Council Member Stendon about this. There are some graffiti issues that are on the existing buildings that are still there, as well as some of the surrounding buildings that are not part of this property, as well as a few other issues relating to that could be cleaned up a little bit more. It's not by any means the worst code enforcement violators, but it probably could be cleaned up. I think from a graffiti standpoint, it's probably the biggest issue that I saw while there, although there are a few others. And we can have code enforcement go out and address some of those. But they were not from a typical code enforcement standpoint. There's a lot of other parts of it that are functioning fairly well. Well, I appreciate you tactfully answering that question. I know it's a difficult situation to be in. But at the end of the day, the neighborhood has some legitimate concerns. I'm not convinced personally that time is of the essence, and we can't wait 18 months and build the permanent site out at Blue Sky where we want to go anyway. And I think if any council member in this room had a salt barn being placed in a shopping center in their district essentially or in a major corridor next to a neighborhood, you'd have concerns too, and that neighborhood would have a lot of questions too. I know Mr. Maloney and Mr. Milligan have done excellent work in trying to figure out the best possible location on the site. We've looked at other sites, but I have to side with my neighborhood on this one. And I appreciate the administration standing behind this decision, but unfortunately I can't agree with it. Thank you, Chair. Thank you. Council Member Ford? Thank you, Council Member Ellinger. The one question that I will have, and I agree with a lot of what Council Member Stenner has said, to help me understand the logistics of where do we store salt right now? Where is our barn or wherever? Where is that location right now? Maybe I should know, but I don't know. At the present time, we have a salt dome at Streets and Roads at Old Frankfort Pike and New Circle. The excess salt is stored behind the K-9 facility. And where is that? On Old Frankfort Pike, right past Forbes Road, right behind the Fire Department Training Center. The reason I ask that question, and Kevin, Council Member Stendon has alluded to where our future plans are to take a salt barn. Explain where that is. The future site of it will be what is now the Blue Sky Sewer Treatment Plant in Blue Sky Industrial Park on Winchester Road. Thank you for that clarification. I'm going to side with Council Member Stennett. I'm also sympathetic to the folks in the Eastland Parkway Neighborhood Association. The characteristics of these three sites are not consistent. I understand that under our domain as local government, zoning does not pertain to us. We can site things where we want to site them. But I don't see how we can compare Old Frankfurt Pipe, where a lot of our governmental activity is housed, is similar to the intersection of New Circle and Winchester Road, which is the continental site, which is the front door of a neighborhood in two different directions. And it's definitely not similar to what Blue Sky is going to be. I'm going to vote no. That's just my one vote in support of the folks over in the 6th District. But in closing, I agree with Council Member Stenet. I know we just voted down the motion to table. It's July. I don't see the urgency in us moving forward with this if there are truly concerns. Last thing I'll say to that is Commissioner Maloney did a great job here and his staff in responding to a lot of the questions. But some things you can't respond to. And in summary, the neighborhood spoke of their feelings of being devalued, insulted, not respected by this government action that we're hoping to take forward. I don't know how we could respond to that as a government, but I urge us that we should not discount that. That's their investment. That's where they feel. I'll vote against the motion if it goes forward. Thank you, Council Member Henson. Thank you. Rachel, or whoever wants to answer, but I just want to know what measures you've taken with the Neighborhood Association, what corrective action concerns have you addressed? Well, Council Member Sten invited me to the Neighborhood Association a month ago, I think in May. And we went, and they asked those questions, and I got up to answer most of them, and Council Member Sten followed up with the answers, too. Then last week we got a letter that you all saw, I sent that to the Neighborhood Association again, that were the same similar questions and answers. and to clarify something some of the folks worried we're going to put it right in the middle of we're going to put it up here where we're going to put it at it's going to be right behind Spencer College we met with the president of Spencer College and they were glad to have it behind them and as you can see there's the square at Spencer College right there so it will not be up in the front I just want to make everything clear. So we'll be blocked from Spencer College. On this side, it's a filling station for all the large trucks. The other reason why we wanted it there is where all the trucks get their gas and everything, the diesel, is right next to it. And that was one of the main locations why we wanted to be in this side of town for temporary. And then when we go to CNG, we won't have to worry about that. But right now we are dealing with diesel, and this is the reason why we really wanted to be across the street. The fire department told us that they needed that location. They were getting ready to put the designs. But this was the other option, and there's three things. You're going to be on this side of town for the first time. A lot of people will be getting snow removal that they've never had, because we had to start from Old Friends of Pike and work all the way over to Andover, and then how long it takes to get over there. because Mr. Lane, you've called me a few times wanting to get the streets. So this is an opportunity that we can get the streets. And I understand the neighborhood's concerns, but the apartment complex will probably block the neighborhood's concerns. Right now, these are old apartments right here that are on this side of the road, and there's where the square is. And then, as you can see, we're not going to be up near the interstate. So I just want everybody to know it's not going to be sticking out like a sore thumb. and George can hit on that. When you're using the pointer, you're referring to the red box there. Yeah, there we go. Okay, there we go. Thank you. And what you've got down on this side where it doesn't show is a pilot service station, which is one of our fueling points. The intention will be the fact that the trucks will come in off of Winchester Road, come around this portion of the building and not be on these roads or in the neighborhood for filling? That was going to be my next question is where the trucks will access the property. There is an entrance off of Winchester Road. Kevin, we don't have that on one, do we? I'm familiar with the area. Yeah. It's where there was a, I think, a grocery store or something. I believe you're correct. And with gas pumps or something. The gas pumps are where we currently fuel, it's one of our locations to currently fuel our large dump trucks and garbage trucks. Okay. Thank you. Council Member Akers. One thing, and I have to agree with Mr. Tenet, he has cared about his neighborhood association. I did make one statement at the end. in a year and a half or two years when we leave. I said I guarantee you if we do have a bad snowstorm, they will beg us to say that because they'll be up there seeing it. The first thing will be their street beam. And the only time they'll see those trucks is when it snows. And personally, and I know some councilmen, but I'd like to see that in my neighborhood. And I know, but being in that shopping center, I understand where it's coming from on that. But we are trying to block it as much as possible. and if we need to table it, we will. The only thing that we wanted to prove was trying to save money and be ahead of the curve when we build this new salt plant. We don't have to come back here and ask for an additional million dollars or whatever to put it on the permanent. And this way here we've already got the main cost to pay for and the only part we would have to come back. And that was why we were just taken out of the box. Thank you. Ms. Akers. Thank you, Chair. So can you tell me, Richard, or maybe Clay Mason, this is a question for him. So the fire department is planning to build a fire station when? I thought I heard two years, but this salt barn is only going to be located there for less than two years? It's less than two. Two years is what the anticipated time is to decommission the plant at Blue Sky. Okay. before the new salt barn would even be constructed. That's correct. We've got to remove that site. They have to build a trunk line out there to be constructed to tie that system in. Okay. And, Clay, can you talk about the timeline for this new fire station? This year's budget contains $100,000 to do design and engineering work, preliminary work towards the new Station 2, which is up across New Circle Road. And so it definitely makes it impossible to locate the salt barn there? It would make it difficult in terms of some of the structure that would be set up for it would be incompatible with future use. So some of the money spent wouldn't be reusable, but it would not be impossible. Okay. And I'm also sympathetic to Council Member Stenets' concerns that he raised from the neighborhood, and I appreciate y'all's attempts to sort of hide it, for lack of better words, I guess, screen it in the back portion of the lot. I also think that perhaps by utilizing this space that we might actually cut down on some of the graffiti and less appealing activities on the property. I would like to hear a little bit more from, I'm not sure what your name is, but you mentioned Mr. Milligan. Mr. Miller. Milligan. Milligan. Sorry. about polluting the creek and that we used to just let the pollution run into the creek. And since that is actually my district where the salt is currently stored, I'm interested to hear about that. The way the excess storage was originally set up, attempts were made to control the runoff in the melting salt. There was a tank and a drain system put in that had approximately 10,000 gallons of capacity, and we used that to make our salt brine with that we also use on the streets. In a lot of instances, we made more brine than we could do anything with, and it would cause it to overflow into that creek. That's the Town Branch Creek. That's the Town Branch Creek. That's correct. That's why we quit doing it. With this temporary facility that we're constructing, it is a tension fabric structure. Inside of it, it will have an eight-foot-tall concrete wall built out of what I call Lego blocks. If you've ever seen them on old Frankfort Pike, they are two-foot by two-foot by six-foot concrete blocks that stack and interlock. Those will stop the runoff because we won't have any rain coming down on top of it because it is a structure. And the neighborhood consortium, we believe that there will be less runoff from this facility than what the neighbors get on the streets and when we salt them. Okay. Thank you. Council Member Lawless. Just quickly, it sounds like you all have really done your homework and tried to accommodate everybody and answer the concerns. And I sympathize with the neighborhoods, and I would like more sympathy for a lot of the neighborhoods in my district. However, we're talking about polluting the town branch, and that's unacceptable. Thank you. Thank you. Seeing no more questions, would you take the roll for the second reading of resolutions, please? Yes, sir. Mr. Ford? I'll vote no against number 16 and yes on all the rest. Thank you. Ms. Henson? Yes. Mr. K? Yes. Mr. Lane? Yes. Ms. Lawless? Yes. Ms. Massadi? Yes. Mr. Myers? Yes. Ms. Scutchfield? Yes. Mr. Stennett? No, ma'am. No on all? On all. Ms. Akers? Yes, on all. Mr. Beard? Aye. Mr. Clark? No on 16. Yes, on the rest. Thank you. Mr. Ellinger? Yes. And Mr. Farmer? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Thank you. Those passed. Before you do first reading of resolutions, Councilman Beer would like to talk about number 40, please. Councilman Beer. Well, actually, I would like someone else to talk about it, and he seems to know that I'd like somebody else to talk about it, so here he comes. Commissioner, welcome. Back. What would you like to know, Commissioner Beer? Well, first, just to give a little background, an RFP was sent out back in the spring, and there were two bids that came in that were $2,200,000. Our budget was $1,081,000. Give or take, you know. You rebid it? Correct. and paired a lot off, including the signalization situation with the state and all that. But you're still $590,000 short. About $555,000. Okay. Whatever. How is that going to work? Okay. We did. We rebid it, and the bids came in. The winning bid came in 21% below what it was. This is with the exact same amount of work to be done. We did not cut back any of the actual project to be completed. Sidewalks are still going in the same way they were with the previous bid. The big difference that we made was dealing with a couple different things. Time was the main issue in terms of the – that really was the major cost driver on the first bidding. And we gave them – there was a misperception that you were only allowed to work for just a few hours every day, which is going to basically compromise the amount of time they had to go in to take up and put down every day. So we changed a few things such as that, the liquidated damages, reduced it by about 21%. Where we are now, we do have, and some of our budget has been decreased because of right away, the original budgeting that was done, again, around five or six years ago. Where we plan to make up the difference is on using MAP funds. And we have already made a request to the state for two different things. One of the things that came in, the bid for the signals, the installation of the signals, came in at $410,000, which is $160,000 more than the state has already given us. And again, the signal upgrades were all part of the request from the state. So we have already requested from Frankfurt an additional $160,000, which we would recover somewhere along the line, we hope, in the next few months. and we've also requested some other matching funds from CMAQ funds or others, again from Frankfurt, to help make up that difference that is there. But we are going to move forward with the MAP funds in the meantime, which are there. But we really don't know what we're going to have until all those? Well, we have the MAP funds. The MAP funds can cover it. Even if we do not get any extra money from Frankfurt, we can still go forward with this project without any real problem. But we are trying to see if we can recover some of those costs, particularly along the signals, which is where we feel we have the strongest case, just because the signals were a request from Frankfurt. They gave us $250,000. The big came in at $410,000, so we're going to see if we can get at least that $160,000. But we're also making a request for the additional $395,000 as well. And we've already made that request from Frankfurt today, actually. I was talking with them. By the way, they did cut down the project somewhat. It was initially going to be a six-foot sidewalk, and they cut it back to five foot. That is correct. That was before you were here. That is true. Well, those funds that you have available, if it goes toward this, it can't go toward some other things. That's true. Some of it we have as a carryover from the previous year, and some that we've done some reworking on how we're moving forward with map projects, but will not impact negatively any of the projects we have moving forward in the next few years. It kind of bothers me to see a bid so far over, and we say, oh, well, okay, we'll figure it out. We don't do that with anybody else. Well, I think we have gone to great lengths. I think the staff should be commended for, I mean, I think a 21% drop, $453,000 from a rebidding without changing the scope of work is pretty impressive. And, again, coming from our staff, Keith Lovin led that, really talking with not only those that did bid. We only, again, two companies that bid. We had three that bid on the second one. But talking with those that did not bid and really finding out why did people not bid. What were their concerns? What were their issues? and really trying to work with them, working with the state to try to get a little more time to increase those road closures without negatively impacting traffic, as well as allowing for times on the weekends, as well as reducing some of the liquidated damages that were a concern as well. But again, not having a negative impact on the project. So part of the problem or part of the issue is going to be that, again, this project started. It was first bid. We got the original back in 2008, and one of the issues was that it was never budgeted for right-of-way. And that has already been a cost of $130,000 for right-of-way. We've already had to expend money for engineering. So part of the issues are the original amount that we received from the state was never really enough to go on. And, again, when you add in the five or six years that we've gone through to get to where we are today, it does make it more difficult. But you feel comfortable that you will get the money to do it? We feel comfortable that we, again, we've asked. We're hopeful that we'll be able to get at least $160, but we've asked for more. And we do feel comfortable going forward with the MAP funds that we are using, that it will not negatively impact any of the projects from an engineering standpoint in the road plan in the next five years, which we often use MAP funds to cover those matches. We don't feel it's going to have any impact on those. And, again, we hope to be able to recoup those costs, And that's why we've already talked with the state about doing such that. Is time of the essence on this? Well, considering we've been going along with this for so many years, we would like to try to get it done. And we hope that moving forward. It's been a four-year project, I understand. It is. And we'd like to try to get it going if we can. The reason we'd like to get it going tonight is so that we can get as much of it done with the construction season. Hopefully we can get it. If we can't get it done this year, hopefully we can get a very big, significant portion. And maybe we can work a little bit later into the winter. than we normally can. Okay. Thank you, Derek. Thank you. Council Member Lawless. I'd just like to add again, part of the extra cost in some of the right-of-way and easement was to accommodate neighbor people who owned property that didn't want something moved that they had put on the state right-of-way that wasn't their land and to accommodate their needs. and that pushed up the price as well as has prolonged this project, and I sat in on many of those meetings. Thank you. Rebuttal? Council Member Bill Beard. Nobody knew where the right-of-way was. They had to go back and resurvey all of it. When they put the second and four-lane, that place, they just threw it down and went on with it. It was something in the 70s that we found already is a problem that we were having to go around and fix, hither and yon, sewers and wastewater and all that. But it was not an intentional thing. I'll put it here on their property or whatever. It was just that they didn't know. Oh, I can appreciate they didn't know. I'm not saying the property owners were wrong. It was just they went to great lengths to accommodate them. Oh, I know. Thank you. Could we do first reading of resolutions, please, Meredith? Sure. Thank you.

Thank you. Do I have a motion to approve? We have a motion by Council Member Myers and second by Council Member Akers. Could you take the roll, please? And Susan, why don't you take the roll for us. For people who don't know, this will be Susan's last time as she is retiring. This is her last meeting. So we want to thank her for all her service to this community. Let's hope we can get her through this now. You wanted to make this one hard, didn't you? Yes, we did. Maybe you'll say you're not going to leave now. Trust me, I don't mean to cry during these meetings. That's the least thing I ever want to do. As my last roll call vote, Mr. Ford. Yes. Ms. Henson. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Kay. Yes. Mr. Lane. Yes. Ms. Lawless. Hooray. Yes. Ms. Mazzotti. Yes. Mr. Myers. We thank you for your wonderful service to our community, and yes, ma'am. Thank you. Miss Scutchfield? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Stinnett? Mr. Mrs. Akers? I knew I screwed up. It's just Miss and yes. Thank you. Miss Akers, sorry. Mr. Beard? How many years now? 27 and a half. Yes, sir. Yes. Thank you, sir. Mr. Clark? Yes, we'll miss you. Thank you. Mr. Ellinger? Yes, ma'am. And Mr. Farmer. It has been an honor for all of us to serve with you. Aye. Thank you. Thank you. Those pass. Next item on the agenda is the communications from there, and that's for information only. The next item is announcements. Do we have any announcements, council members? Ms. Mazzotti. Thank you. Chris, do you have those pictures, please? I just wanted to bring this to the attention of the Council. I want to put this in the planning committee. This is the back of a yard of one of my subdivisions. And Mr. Paulson, if you could, Commissioner Paulson, I'm sorry, if you could kind of give us a little background. This is, I guess, a potential greenway that has been in limbo for the past two years. And it's not getting any better. So if you can give us kind of a rundown of what a potential greenway looks like in your backyard. Right. And we have, I don't think for many Council members this is probably not a new issue, the fact that we have not been accepting greenways for a while now. That particular one does have two notes on the plat. One that says it's the intention of LFUCG to construct a multi-use path within the open space greenway. and the second one, that is to be dedicated to LFUCG when requested by the LFUCG. Until then, developer should be responsible for maintenance. These are some of the issues that we have. The reason we're not accepting them largely is the fact that we don't have the money to maintain them or move forward with them as we have planned. Again, this isn't a real new issue, but it is an issue. We are moving forward with the Greenway Manual, which will not, while it will address many issues associated with the greenways, it will still not address the issue of the cost of accepting them. And we do have a greenway master plan which has been in effect for about 10 years, which is probably something that we could stand to look at a little closer and redo. But again, ultimately we do have these issues of when we don't accept them. we need to find a way to make this work that is a very large and real problem in numerous different neighborhoods around and one of the other things we could say is that there's a lot of potential benefits out of these if we were to accept them it's just finding a way to bring them in and use them to the extent that we have planned to use them I think the one thing that we have to be concerned about is liability issues We're awful lucky that at this point no one's gotten hurt yet, but I think the potential is there. So I'd like to refer this to the planning committee, Mr. Farmer, so we can move forward and see if we can make some headway on the grand canyon here. We have a motion to move this into the planning committee. Do we have a second? Second. We have a motion and a second by Council Member Myers. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, we will do that. And one last announcement. I just want to make sure that everyone comes out to the Lions Bluegrass Foot Fair starting this Thursday through the 21st. And no rain but sunshine and lots of good food and entertainment. So we'll see you out there. Thank you. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mr. Elling. I had a question about the greenways that we currently have and how often are they on the schedule for mowing. And that may be Commissioner Reid's question. But anyway, I was just thinking we have another problem with all the rain that we've had, that our greenways are growing in leaps and bounds. That is an issue that is partly going to be addressed by the Greenway Manual to deal with some of those issues, the maintenance of them in the future, but it is one of those that is under general services. So I will let Commissioner Reed discuss. I was told that we mow the greenways twice a year, and in a year like this year, I think we need three, and I know it's very costly. That is the problem, is the cost, and getting these accomplished, we are somewhat behind on mowing. We are attempting to catch up, and will. I don't know the exact cost associated with an additional mowing, but we will try to get to all those areas we haven't to this point. And I think that's something that in this manual that Commissioner Paulson was talking about that definitely needs to be addressed. I think it's mostly Commissioner Paulson's fault. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Senator, could you put the last vote up on the screen for us? The last vote that we had, can you put it up on the screen? I don't know that I can. I've never had this request before. Okay, the reason I was going to ask is because I want everybody to know out there that's watching on TV that part of what Susan's legacy is going to be to our tax-paid citizens is that she fought very hard to get this electronic voting system in place, which allows the vote to be seen on screen so that people don't have to call in or email tomorrow to figure out how people voted. And so we always talk about transparency from this side of the horseshoe, Horseshoe, and what she has done to open up the ability for citizens to see what it is their government does on a real-time basis is phenomenal. And she sort of drug our government, kicking and screaming, into the technology age. And for that, I truly appreciate you and all the other work that you've done for our community. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other announcements for Councilmembers? Mr. Money, do we have any public comments? I do not have a sheet up here. Is there anybody who would like to speak? If you would come up to the mic and if you would give your name and your address. And you have three minutes, please. Looks like we have three people. Okay. My name is Charles Payne. I live at 1528 Bow Harbor Court, Lexington, Kentucky, 40517. So February of 2012, the River Park Neighborhood Association held an organizational meeting. We elected officers and gave an initial breakdown of the area development district to the neighbors. They voted at that meeting to oppose the project that was going on out there, and before the vote, I warned them that it would take a sustained response in order to oppose this thing. So a year and a half later, here we are today. We have an opportunity now. It looks to us that the Area Development District has gone off course. We appreciate the efforts of the City Council as well as many others in order to attempt to write that course. But I will reiterate to you that this will require a sustained response as we move forward from here, the State Auditor's Office and everything getting involved. So I'd like to give each and every council member a heartfelt thanks for your efforts and your votes. And for those that have stepped up, Council Member Ford and Council Member Myers and proposed these series of resolutions. So I thank you very much. Hope you have a good break. And may God continue to bless everything that each and every one of you holds dear. Thank you very much. Next, if you would just come up and give your name, your address, in three minutes, please. And you didn't mind us. David Vinson. I live at 3663 Niagara Drive. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your continued support with your resolutions in regard to the ad. It's been my pleasure to watch you all and the transparency that you conduct your business with is refreshing. I've watched the ad, and there's absolutely no transparency there. And that's very disappointing for me to say. I don't think there will be reform there without the resolutions and the hard work that you all are putting forth. So, again, thank you so much. Thank you. Anybody else want to speak? Welcome. My name is Martin Mudd. I'm 171 Bassett Avenue. I'll be very brief. this is regarding this comment is regarding the ordinance which I'm glad was sent to the committee at this meeting about the sidewalk on Elm Tree I'm a very avid pedestrian and cyclist and basically my message to you is that we don't need to be closing sidewalks we need to be fixing sidewalks that need repair We need to be lighting them so they're safe for pedestrians. And we shouldn't be, with all due respect to the Miss Letterer, we don't need to be assuming that just because somebody's standing next to a car and they're having a conversation, that's not necessarily a drug deal. So I think we need to, if anything, be building more and expanding the sidewalk system so that pedestrians have a safe way to go across town. that's it thank you thank you anyone else good evening and thank you my name is christian torp and i uh am the homeowner of 552 elm tree lane i'm here tonight also on the sidewalk closure as it says i'm in the immediate neighborhood i'm directly across the street and i've spoken to my neighbors upon learning of this just uh yesterday and no one has heard anything of this and they're all in opposition to it. So this seems to have just been dumped on the neighborhood and no one I spoke to had any idea that this was even a possibility. And most of my neighbors are elderly and of limited mobility. I asked them if they could attend tonight and they are not able to even get here. So closing down this access way, I believe, really makes Lexington much less of a walkable city and much more difficult for these people right in this neighborhood on Elm Tree Lane to get around. Thank you very much for your consideration on this matter, and have a blessed evening. Thank you. Anybody else would like to speak? Seeing none, I'll move to the last item on agenda. It is adjourned. I'll entertain an motion to adjourn. Council Member Stinnett with a second by Council Member Scudfield. All those in favor say aye. Aye. I was opposed. We are adjourned. See you August 13th. Thank you.
