Thank you, Mayor. and now I'd like to move to suspend the rules and give second reading to this motion. We'll need to give it first reading. I'm sorry. That's okay. All right. I called it. Forgive me. Meredith, go ahead. This will be ordinance number eight, an ordinance amending section 2252 of the Code of Ordinances, creating one position of administrative officer senior grade 120E in the office of the mayor with the term to expire within 12 months, effective upon passage of counsel. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Now I'm going to call up Council Member Kaye. And Council Member Myers has a question on number six. First, Council Member Kaye. Thank you, Mayor. So I move to suspend the rules and give second reading to the ordinance, which would be number eight, in order to get in process the hiring of this person. So moved. Second. Motion by Council Member Kaye. For a second read on number eight, second by Council Member Lawless. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Ellinger. Thank you, Mayor. What is the necessity of doing it at second read? Because we just had the walk-on and we're getting a second read, and usually we try to give it time in between if we have a walk-on tonight, trying to do it all at one time. Is time of the essence before the next council meeting? Well, time has been of the essence for quite a while. We've been delayed in a variety of ways. We would like to move this as quickly as possible. This is something we discussed briefly at the work session. This is that position. It's based primarily on an $80,000 set of grants that would fund most of it, and we're trying to get this done ideally so this person can get on March 1. And I know it's quick, but as I said, we're trying to get a little bit ahead of the planting and growing season. So that's the rationale. All right. Any further discussion? Council Member Akers, were you signed on for this one or something else? Okay. All right. Council Member Akers. So, Council Member Kaye, how is this different than the one that we discussed at work session, or why isn't it on the docket now? I'm confused a little bit. We could not place it on the docket until the funding mechanism was in place. We could not put it on the docket until the budget was reconciled in the appropriate way. So on Tuesday, we put it on the docket, and we'll approve that, I presume, the acceptance of that grant tonight. So that money is in place. Okay. So Tuesday was to accept the funding to pay for the position, and so now you're walking on the actual position. That's correct. Okay. And just to be kind of perfectly transparent, we've tried to figure out the appropriate way to do this, and there was no way to put this on the docket until the budget issue had been voted on. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Akers. Council Member Clark, you're speaking to this motion. Yes, I am. All right. Council Member Kaye, with the work session, the question that I never got the answer to is, after 12 months, then what? This has been styled as a pilot project, and we wanted to make sure that we had funding for a full year. And our expectation is really twofold. First, that the administration and this council will see the value of that position and be willing to fund more of the position itself going forward. Secondly, that within the next three or six months, we will secure additional grant monies. We know we have some in the pipeline, and we'll have at least a second year, if not a second and a third year funded. We didn't want to make it a two-year project. We wanted to get a little bit of a track record. So that's what we hope will happen. We anticipate that this is the kind of position that other cities have. Louisville actually has a couple people doing this kind of work, and that we can get it embedded as an ongoing part of the economic development efforts in the community. Thank you. I absolutely support the idea, and I'm just concerned that we have this and then we don't have it. And I would be really disappointed if that happened. So just checking it out. I appreciate it, Council Member Clark. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Clark. Nobody else has signed up for discussion, so we can, if there is no further discussion. He's on a different one. If there's no further discussion, then we can take a vote. On the motion to give a second read. All in favor of the motion for a second read, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. No. All right. Motion does carry. So, Madam Clerk, if you'll give a motion to second read, please. Then Councilman Myers has a question about number six. Ordinance number eight for second reading and ordinance amending section 2252 of the Code of Ordinances creating one position of administrative officer senior grade 120E in the office of the mayor with a term to expire within 12 months effective upon passage of counsel. All right. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Is there a motion to approve? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Motion by Council Member Ellinger. And second by Council Member Beard. Is there any discussion? I do have a discussion. You have a discussion on this one. Okay. All right. Council Member Myers. Thank you, Mayor. What happens if, going back to Mr. Carr's question, if this is a grant-funded position and we don't find funding next year, what happens to the position? Or how do we – is it civil service that we're hiring under? Or is it under a contract? Tammy. So it's being established as an unclassified civil service position, and it's set up as having a term of up to 12 months. So if the funding is there, they can renew the position, but if it's not, it'll just expire. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Councilman Myers. Any further discussion on the motion? All right. Hearing none, then Madam Clerk, if you'll call the roll, please. Ms. Henson? Yes. Mr. K? Yes. Mr. Lane? No. Ms. Lawless? Yes. Ms. Massadi is not here. Mr. Myers? Yes. Ms. Scutchfield? Yes. Mr. Stennett? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Akers? Yes. Mr. Beard? Aye. Mr. Clark? Yes. Mr. Ellinger? Yes. And Mr. Ford? Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The vote reflects passage of the motion. And we'll dial back to Councilman Myers as a question or a comment on number six. Thank you, Mayor. C.L. Hamilton, could you come up just for a second? On number six, it looks like we're extending the term of a temporary position for four years. you don't have to answer anything definite tonight but I was just wondering if you could get us some information on this before we get second reading as to kind of an understanding of why it's temporary I think Commissioner Martin can answer this now for you okay, thank you sorry this position operates the scale at the MRF it is a temporary non-civil service position there is an incumbent in there right now they're the ones who is in in charge of making sure that accurate readings are logged so we accurate reading of what is incoming and outgoing at the Murph again non non civil service temporary position who felt like that it was appropriate to move forward with it to maintain the state that stability of that situation while we work on the others okay all All right.

I move to suspend the rules and give second reading to Resolution No. 33 for the design services for Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden in effort to keep that project moving. So moved. Second. Motion by Council Member Ford. Second by Council Member Myers. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. That's on number 33. Council Member Lawless? Yes, I had a comment or discussion for number 20, a question on number 24. Okay. Number 20. Now, the ZODA on the business zones, by and large, I agree with this, and I brought it up, I think, before Christmas when we heard a presentation on this. Some of these, not the core of downtown, but some of the B2A and B2B zones or B2A are back up to neighborhoods, and this would reduce the required parking back to basically nothing. And a perfect example of where this has been a huge problem is on Broadway where the car wash and then JDI went in, and they were required to have very little parking. This would reduce it even more. So now they're parking on Plunkett Street, which is narrow, and you can't get through there. And so it has a ripple effect when some of these zones back up into a neighborhood. So if we could get a map mailed to us, the map that we had before Christmas when the presentation was given was kind of hard to read. But it would be appropriate in many of the areas. But I think we need to take a look at that piece of it. so I would like to request from planning. Did you, Dr. Paulson, Commissioner, Dr. Paulson, do you understand the request? I think if I understand you, you'd just like to have a map of all these zones and where all the text members are going to be. Right, and a map that is large enough for somebody like me to be able to read. We will get everyone a map. Okay. And make it available as well to the public. Yeah. And you're aware of the situation on Broadway where it backs up to Plunkett and what that has created. So I don't want any unintended impact. Thank you very much. All right. Okay. Thank you. So, Madam Clerk, when you're ready, if you can give us a second read on 19, 30, 33, 35, 36, as the ones I've got. Is that correct? We have another one? Okay. Council Member Akers didn't say that. Sorry. That's okay. Thank you, Mayor. I request or move to suspend the rules and request second reading on number 23, please. Second. All right. Motion by Council Member Akers. Second by Council Member Ellinger. Is there any discussion on the motion? Okay. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right.

I want to recognize somebody in the audience here, and I'm going to have him come up if he doesn't mind. His name is Austin Brooks, and he's here working on his merit badge for the Boy Scouts Troop 206. And, Austin, if you would come up to the microphone. He is here getting his merit badge on citizenship, but he actually, when he gets this done, he's going to be working on an Eagle Scout project, and he's actually going to be working with the government on that. And could you just give a very brief explanation of what you're going to be doing? Yes. And give your name, if you would, for everybody. Sorry? Give your name here. Oh, yeah. My name is Austin Brooks. What I'll be doing is I'll be going around my neighborhood with spray paints and templates, spray painting on storm sewers to not litter down them, just to try to prevent litter down the storm sewers. Well, thank you for doing that. Thank you for coming here and getting your, I think it's you're working on your citizenship. Is that what this is tonight? Yes, sir. Well, good. Well, welcome. Thank you, Council Member Elliger. Congratulations, Austin. Council Member Beard. I do have a motion. I move to place into the Planning and Public Works Committee the issue of installation of multi-way stop controls at Glendover Road and Valley Road. All right. Motion by Council Member Beard.

All in favor of the motion, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Council Member Akers. Thanks, Mayor. First, I'd like to thank everyone who came to my first council meet and greet last Thursday. I had representatives from Metathorpe, McConnell's Trace, Townley, and maybe Masterson. But anyway, the next one will be held February 27th. That's again on Thursday at 3.30, from 3.30 to 4.30 at the Gray Goose on Jefferson this time. Secondly, Georgetown Street Neighborhood Association will be meeting on Monday, February 3rd at 6 p.m. at Douglas Park in the Community Center. And the historic Woodward Heights Neighborhood Association will meet on Tuesday at 6 at the Community Action Council building at 321 Marino Street. That's all. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Rekers. That's all the council members who have signed up for announcements. The floor is available for public comment. Has anyone signed up for public comment? Mr. Bernard? Yes, sir. Anybody else? Richard? All right. Mr. McCarthy? For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. I want to point out, first of all, the vast amount of money that you are currently proposing to spend on tearing down parts of the Civic Center complex and replacing them with separated buildings is really wasteful. The building as it exists is structurally sound and still fully usable. And I might add it's younger than me by about 18 years. That in and of itself makes it aggravating that you propose tearing down parts of it. But the vast amount of money that this would cost would be better spent on other things. I'd prefer to see it put into building new streets to untangle our traffic jams. On the other hand, the late Mary Alice Pratt would have probably preferred to see it put into housing for the homeless. And I mention that simply because we don't have her around anymore to bring it up. She died a few years ago about this time of year. Thank you. Thank you, Bernard. That's all who signed up for public comment. Unless there's further business, I'll accept the motion to adjourn by Council Member Ellinger and a second by Council Member Kay. Unless there's objection, we stand adjourned. Thank you. The End Thank you.
