But can we get just a little bit of information about this since it's brand new? Sure. We are getting three individual railroad crossings. And with each of those crossings, there is a license fee and an annual maintenance fee. And so it's $3,500 per crossing for the Loudoun Crossing for the Old Frankfurt Pike. and then it's $1,500 for the existing crossing on Loudoun Avenue. Because of the, and we, the reason is we put these gates and the lights and stuff, and so the railroad company is going to be maintaining them for us, and so we're paying for that maintenance.

And next are communications for information only. and next are announcements. The floor is available for any council announcements. All right. Council Member Farmer. Two things, Mayor. First, I'm sure a lot of people will have a lot of great things to say about Jack Birch. I want to be one of the first ones to do so. He was a great advocate and a really great man, And he was one of the people you always enjoyed seeing in this audience and advocating while he was here. And I had no idea he was sick, and I was very sorry to read his obituary this morning. So I mourn with his family and a loss for Lexington in its greater situation. Sad thing. Happy thing. The vice mayor and I have been asked to play roles in a Lexington Children's Theater production of Alice in Wonderland. Are you going to be the Cheshire cat? I believe in this production, the vice mayor will be the duchess. My wife, Kim, will be the queen of hearts, and I will be the king of hearts. And the presentation is Saturday night at the Children's Theater. I believe there's a gathering about 7 o'clock and a performance about 8.30 and a cast party thereafter, I suspect. But if you all have interest in seeing us in something other than our regular council attire, we would look forward to welcoming you to the Children's Theater on Saturday evening. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Farmer. Council Member Myers. Thank you, Mayor. I, too, just want to give my condolences to Jack Birch's family. He was a fantastic advocate for a whole lot of people in our community and across the state that need somebody to advocate for them. And I enjoyed partnering with him, and I wasn't aware of until just a few minutes ago that he had passed yesterday. So we'll just be in prayer with his family and thank him for the legacy he's left behind in our community. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Myers. Council Member Scotchfield. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to make an announcement regarding Partners for Youth has their Spotlight on Youth event this weekend at the Lyric Theater. Working with Laura Hatfield a lot this last year, doing some things in Woodhill. What she has done for the community with Partners for Youth is phenomenal. So if you want to come out and see some of our youth in Lexington and their talents, please come out to the Lyric 7 o'clock on Saturday. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Scotchfield. Vice Mayor Gordon. Thank you, Mayor. I would also add my voice to the other council members who remember Jack Birch. What a fine person. And I first met Jack when he and PG Peoples and I served on the Fayette County Public Schools Equity Council back in the early 90s for several years. And those were somewhat, I guess I would call it a little bit of a roller coaster with some of the equity issues that came before us from the school system employees. And I grew to respect Jack a great deal because he always was calm. He was always calm. He always thought about what was brought before him. And then he spoke with great wisdom to come to some sort of resolution. And so I just offer my condolences also with the other council members. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Council Member Myers. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to separate my first from the second. Last Tuesday, we had Friends of the Skate Park, and we've had several people from our government. Commissioner Reed was there. John Chee was there. Folks from parks. And we had Dreamland, who was the winner of the contract to build the new skate park, come in town. We had, I'm not sure the numbers, probably 50 to 75 people of all ages come out to give their input to Dreamland into what they want the new skate park to look like and be like. And so Dreamland will take that information. You still have a week. You can call my office or you can call me at 859-351-7381, and I'll direct you to the right person. And you still have a week, or I guess up until this coming Tuesday, to put your input into what you'd like to see in this skate park. And then Dreamland will be back in a few weeks having taken that information and come up with a couple designs to come back and discuss with the community, and then we'll proceed from there. So I just want to appreciate everybody who put up the hard work. Also, we did a video today, a piece of video. The mayor was involved, and many of the council members, I appreciate their help, too. We're going to be doing an Indiegogo campaign, which is similar to Kickstarter, if you've heard of that, except Indiegogo gives more money back to nonprofits, and we'll be trying to raise part of that $500,000 we're shooting for the new skate park. So I just wanted to say that, and thank you very much. Thank you. Council Member Myers. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to chime in also about Jack Birch and the contribution that he made for many, many, many years as a very strong advocate for low-income and moderate-income people. And I was a former board member of Community Action Council, but I send my condolences to his family. And also, he was just such a wonderful man. Now, I think about what Lexington, if there was some way that we could recognize people like Jack that have contributed so much to our community in some way. I always think about the Walk of Fame or something like that. So I just wanted to throw that out there. I don't know. And also, having said that, I wanted to—Council Member Scottsville talked about the Spotlight on Youth and the Bluegrass Youth Ballet has been providing ballet lessons for young women, young girls, three years of age actually up to high school learning the art of ballet and they will be performing the older group will be performing at the Lyric on Saturday so just wanted to pass that along thanks thank you council member Henson council member forward thank you mayor I too want to quickly send my condolences and speak to the memory of Mr. Jack Birch I learned of his passing like most of us late yesterday as I return back into town. I think one thing luckily for Jack's long service over the Community Action Council is that he's left our community a lot to remember him by in regards to his works. You know, they are present, the legacy that he's left over at the Community Action Council. I'm confident that their work will continue on. I think, and I didn't know him personally, but what I knew of him is that I think in our memory of him as a community, he would want us to focus on what was important to him, and those were marginalized folks and folks in our community who need our assistance. Also, Vice Mayor is correct. Jack was always a very calm person, but he never, from my observation, hesitated to speak truth to power, to our predecessors or even us at times. So I just want to keep that in mind. Again, keep his family in our prayers, and I hope that the work that he started will continue on in the community. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Ford. These have been really moving tributes to Jack. I think all of us who've been here for a little while can imagine him sitting right there behind Bernard. And he was truly remarkable and extraordinary. And when we use the language that somebody made a difference, that certainly reflects Jack's life in this community in so many ways. And as Merlene Davis said today, when we often say he will be missed, she said, yeah, he really will be a real treasure and remarkable person. Okay. Bernard, you're on. Public comment. Okay, for the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. First of all, I want to say that I think this business of spending $310 million to redo the Civic Center is a serious mistake. First of all, it would be better to pay off whatever debts are still owed on the existing structure before you go borrowing money to monkey with it. Number two, I like having the whole complex under one roof, and I think that replacing it with separate buildings would be a mistake, apart from the financial implications. And third, I think it's fundamentally unjust to use money taken from ordinary working stiffs like me in taxes and use it to subsidize facilities to entertain the rich. And I mean, let's face it, I'm never going to be able to afford basketball tickets, even if I actually were interested in basketball. I've only managed to go to, I think, two concerts and one play held in Rupp Arena and really can't afford any others. On the other hand, I do every year buy someone a birthday card at the card shop inside the Civic Center. This is a card for someone whose birthday falls on St. Patrick's Day. And while the person I'm sending it to is here in Lexington, I send it from a campground more than 1,000 miles to the south of here. And for that, like I say, I'd kind of prefer to see the Civic Center stay like it is. And I think we definitely need more street capacity in our downtown. do not do anything to tie traffic up worse. All these people who babble about wanting to slow traffic down are nuts. It already moves too slow as it is. We need to speed it up. I think while I have, over the previous month, been some places where the traffic snarls covered a wider area, I can't say that I actually drove through any that moved any slower than some of ours here. Thank you, Bernard, for that point of view. Is there anything else that needs to come before the council tonight? I believe that's all for public comment, right, Mr. McCarthy? Mr. Mundy? Mr. Mundy? Motion by the vice mayor. Second by somebody. Unless there's an objection, we are adjourned. Thank you. I could fall in love with you And I know it's not right
