And we can go ahead and begin. The purpose of this resolution and this presentation is a resolution to rename the community building at the Whitney Young Park, which is located in the St. Martin's Village neighborhood. I want to acknowledge I share that representation of that great neighborhood with Councilwoman Siobhan Akers, and we're glad to be here on their behalf. I also want to thank our Parks Director Jerry Hancock and the members of the Parks Advisory Board who play a vital role in the renaming process. I stand on behalf of the St. Martin's Village Neighborhood Association and its residents as they have sponsored the renaming in honor of the late Charles H. Quillens. Most of us in the community know Mr. Quillens as an accomplished musician and a teacher. But Mr. Quillens was also well known throughout Lexington, the state of Kentucky, and parts far beyond. He served as the band director of the old Dunbar High School beginning in 1947. But this may be of news and interest to most folks, as it was to me. Close to home, Mr. Quillens was known as a good neighbor and a community leader, who volunteered many hours to the betterment of the St. Martin's Village neighborhood. In particular, his efforts and leadership were instrumental in the development and maintenance of DeWittney Young Park. For over 30 years, he worked as a neighborhood supervisor in the park and led the construction management of the community's building expansion. At this time, I would like to bring forward Councilman Robert Jefferson to give us a few remarks on behalf of the Neighborhood Association and to reflect on Mr. Quillen's as a neighbor. Mr. Jefferson. Thank you, Mr. Ford. He said be here at 6.15, so I was early. As president of the St. Marges Village Neighborhood Association, it's an honor to be here and recognize Mr. Quillings. he served many years as was indicated not only as the business manager and operator of the shelter he dedicated himself to the park itself in other words we always considered him as an employee of the city because he spent more time there than people in parks and recreation and anything that was negative toward the park or the shelter, he adamantly was directed attention to the members of the park and recreation staff. The Neighborhood Association decided that they would not come as a group but ask me to represent them because they want to follow up with a dedication at the shelter itself, asking that the mayor and other council members, specifically the 1st and 2nd Council District and any other council members who wish to attend, to dedicate the facility at that time. His daughter indicated, who lives in Atlanta, that she wanted to be here for that dedication. so the date that we set we will notify her and the members of the council and the mayor of that particular date and if you wish to come and attend we will have some food and drinks and etc. and we hope that the neighborhood association will react in full as they indicated at our last meeting So again, I'd like to thank the Parks and Recreation and Advisory Board for naming the facility in honor of Mr. Quillings and hope that your vote for the second reading will make that a possibility. And in closing, sometimes it's sort of difficult to say that a person has to die before you give them recognition. They can't receive that recognition while they're still living. But when we decided to do this, it was in the process that the ordinance was drafted and being presented. But Mr. Quillings, as we told him before he passed that we were going to pursue this, He said, I will be there in spirit. And we recognize, we'll recognize him in spirit along with his daughter at the dedication.

And what that does, so moved. Motion by Council Member Myers, second by Council Member Beard. Is there any discussion? Council Member Myers. Thank you, Mayor. What that does is, since we had that odd number, every year one of the standing committees that meets at 11 will not alternate and we'll just leave that to the council administrator to determine while he or she is putting together the calendar, and then the next year that one will rotate. Thank you, Mayor. Seeing further discussion. Councilman Farmer, are you on for this? I am on for this. This is, I'm not really in favor. In the pantheon of superfluous legislation, this group of things takes the cake in my estimation. Spending a lot of time on our calendar and our internal workings that we should be able to work out among ourselves and not have to codify and I think potentially sets up some members of the core staff for failure because some of the things that are asked to be done here cannot, I don't think can be performed on time or to the way that this is prescribed. So I'm obviously against the change and against the legislation. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Councilman Farmers. Anyone else wish to speak to the motion? All right. Hearing none, we can take a vote.

Council Member Lawless and Council Member Henson. Thank you, Honorable Mayor. There's a third district, and I'm sure it's not the only one, but there's been a great deal of utility work going on in the third district in various areas. So they, and I want to applaud Streets and Roads and all those folks for doing very good coordination with the utility companies so that they're not paving and then getting torn up. So they put signs out when they're going to pave saying no parking for paving, because it's impossible to know exactly when they're going to get there due to temperature, weather, what they might find. And the signs go up, and it may be a couple of days or three days before they get there. So if you have a sign that says no parking in preparation for paving, please don't park there because you will get a ticket. And it's necessary to, it is an inconvenience for people, but it's necessary for them to be able to get this done as rapidly as possible before we get into cold weather. And I also want to say that that is also why the Woodland Triangle intersection has not been redone, is because of utility work that was coming. So it was scheduled to be done as soon as school let out last summer, but because of the utility work, it had to wait. The money's there, and it will get done. And so thank you all for your patience, and that's all. Thank you, Council Member Wallace. Council Member Hanson and Council Member Scotchfield. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to announce real quickly that the Piccadome Neighborhood Association is having a stream cleanup on Sunday from 1 to 4, and they will be meeting at Luffea Parkway in South Bend. So it will be a very nice event if anyone cares to join us and I think they're going to have a little party and food after the cleanup. So thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Henson. Council Member Scotchfield and then Council Member Myers. Thank you, Mayor. I'm just going to make a quick announcement. An organization that I'm very involved with is having their walk this Sunday. So I want to invite people out. The 2013 Walk to End Alzheimer's is this Sunday at 1 o'clock, starting at 1 o'clock at the 5th Third Pavilion downtown. You can still create teams and get involved. Come on out. It will be a good time. Thank you, Council Member Scotchville. Council Member Myers. Thank you, Mayor. We're going to put an overhead up here in just a second. Just want to remind everybody that Second Sunday is coming up out on the Legacy Trail. It's going to be October 13, 2013, from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock p.m. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Myers. All right. That's all. Council Members who have signed up to speak, which allows us then to move on to public comments. So I'll open the floor for public comment. Rachel Childress. Rachel is signed up. Rachel, I suspect you know the protocol, right? Yes. Name and address in three minutes. Rachel Smith Childress, 704 Pinnacle Court, Lexington, Kentucky, 40515. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I want to speak in my capacity as the CEO of Lexington Habitat for Humanity. Lexington Habitat has enjoyed a consistent and faithful partnership with the urban county government for 25 years. Indeed, 25 years ago this month, we dedicated our first home on Willard Street. We served that family because the urban county government gave us the land on which to build that house. This week, today, we started construction on a new home on Willard Street. And in this 25-year history we have, 380 families have been served with affordable home ownership. We have done that in great part because of our partnership with the urban county government. And I'd just like to express my gratitude for the continued partnership, the many ways you've supported us with funds and advocacy and land. And particularly, I'd like to express our gratitude for the designation of the mortgage settlement money to us. It means a tremendous amount so that we can continue to serve these hardworking families and expand our vision to do some cleanup and repair and community revitalization and stabilization work in this community. So thank you very much. Thank you, Rachel, and happy birthday. It's also okay. Happy birthday to Council Member Massadi. All right. that's all signed up to speak tonight Mr. Mundy somebody else? Oh alright sir my name is Joe Sullivan I live here in Lexington I came here tonight with real concern about public safety for Fayette County three weeks ago my son had an automobile accident on Larkin Road it was at 11 o'clock at night He struck a parked car. Thankfully, he was not hurt and neither was anybody else. This is what I learned that night. Although this truck was blocking half the road and most of the streetlights were going off and on, making it very dangerous. This happened at 11 o'clock at night. My son called police then. Us, my wife, and I live on the north end of town. We got dressed, headed to Larkin Road, which is the south side of town. From that point, we still waited on the side of the road for two hours and 25 minutes for the police to show up. When they did, they did a very well job. They were very, very respectful. They explained why they were late and held up. What concerned me is the officer explained that there were only 36 officers on duty that night. Seven of them were on a shooting scene. That means we have 29 officers taking care of all of Fayette County, your 15 districts. I have a real concern with that. We have a very big town here nowadays. Just look at our local government, how it's grown, how many buildings we've had to fill. We have not enlarged our police department. What I looked at that night was two overworked police officers, underpaid. We have an understaffed police force, and they work their tails off. They don't get the benefits they should. And I understand why they have the job they do, because they actually enjoy what they do. But they also ought to be manned to be able to take control of what the city needs. That's the heroin problem. the other drug problems. Because if you cannot, it's just like you, Mayor, when you take on one of your jobs. If you can't man it, there's no sense in bidding it, is it? So we have a police force that we can't man, but we're taking on a city that we can't control. And to me, we're all living in an unsafe area. And I think that as you as city council members need to look at that. and we need to take a big look at all this money we're spending at beautifying our city and we need to start taking care of our people that live in the public because they're the ones that put you in office. Thank you. Thank you. We do appreciate the point of view that's always expressed by those who come to the council chambers. I think it's worthwhile for the public to know that public safety is clearly the first priority of our city. In the last 10 years, as a percentage of our general fund, public safety has gone from 39 percent to 61 percent of our general fund. So I think that does represent the importance and the value and the investment that our city and our citizens are making today in public safety. I think it's important that when a citizen does come, and we encourage that, we appreciate your coming, and we certainly will examine the condition that you described to us tonight. We've got the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer here. The Chief Administrative Officer, Commander Kurt Singer, is here as well. And I'm sure that they will take a look at and examine the particular condition that you shared with us tonight. Thanks a lot. I want to look at everybody's condition that has to wait for two hours. All right. Thank you very much. Does anyone else wish to? I don't have anybody else signed up for public comment, so I'll accept a motion to adjourn by Council Member Ellinger and second by Council Member Myers. Unless there's objection, we are adjourned.
