The next item on our agenda is our invocation. And I am very pleased to welcome my friend, Reverend James Thurman from Shiloh Baptist Church, who will offer our invocation for this evening. Let everyone hear a bow. Father in heaven, we ask your blessings upon these proceedings and this council. we ask that you imbue them and endow them with heavenly wisdom from on high, humility of heart, and with a servant attitude as they govern this city. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. And now we have several presentations, so I will move to the podium. and council members will be taking a photo after each one. And before we start with our first recognition, I wanted to say that in our audience, we have several Boy Scouts. Where are they? Do you want to stand up, please? There we are. These are scouts from Troop 473 out of Southland Christian Church. And this serves scouts from Fayette and Jessamine County, and they are working on their Citizen in the Community Merit Badge. and we really welcome you tonight and encourage you in your work. Thanks for being here. Good to see you. All right, our first presentation tonight is in recognition of Debbie Tyler. Debbie, could you come up and stand with me, please? Hi. How are you? I'm good. Good. Ms. Tyler was the assistant general manager at the Fairfield Inn that was destroyed by a gas explosion in Beaumont Center this past September. Ms. Tyler went through the building, knocking on all the doors, evacuating the motel just before the explosion. For her quick thinking, hard work, and heroism, Mayor Jim Gray and I are very proud to name her a Henry Clay Ambassador. And this, Debbie, this comes with a plaque. And it says, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, hereby names Debbie Tyler a 2014 Henry Clay Ambassador in celebration of her heroism, evacuating guests at Fairfield Inn and Suites just before a devastating explosion on September 7, 2014. This is for you. Thank you so much. Thank you. It's okay. All right. And before Debbie speaks, I'd like to recognize that we have with us some of our firefighter teams in the back, guys. You know. Debbie. Well, I really wasn't prepared to speak except to say that, you know, I was born and raised Lexingtonian and I've been gone for 18 years I came back to take care of my father till he graduates to heaven And I was blessed with this job at the Fairfield Inn Well, God put me back here to take care of my dad and obviously do this for other people and to be an example and certainly my life has changed since September 7th and I know I'm here for a reason and I hope to continue on and be an impression maker. Thank you. So, Council Members, we'll take a picture now if Debbie will join us. Thank you. more Now, would Anne Wood and Helen Dancer join me at the podium? Thank you. Come on, we'll scoop together. So our next presentation is in recognition of those with Native American heritage. In August, there was a Native American educational conference here in Lexington. The conference featured examples of Native American dance, storytelling, games, music, crafts, shelters, and children's activities. Tonight, we are joining in a national recognition of Native American heritage. And with that, we have a proclamation by the mayor. Whereas the history and culture of our great nation have been significantly influenced by American Indians and indigenous peoples, and whereas the contributions of American Indians enhance the freedom, prosperity, and greatness of America today, And whereas Native American Awareness Week began in 1976 and recognition was expanded by Congress and approved by President George Bush in August 1990, designating the month of November as Native American Indian Heritage Month, Now, therefore, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, on behalf of all Fayette Countians, declares November 2014 as National American Indian Heritage Month. Congratulations. Do you want to say it here? Yes. On behalf of all of the American Indians living in the great state Commonwealth of Kentucky, I would like to thank Mayor Gray and Vice Mayor and the City Council for this recognition. And in Indian country, we do not go into another person's house without bringing a gift. And so, Vice Mayor, on behalf of the American Indians residing in the state of Kentucky, we present this token of our esteem for this council and our appreciation for what you have recognized here, and we would be honored if you would accept this and keep it in a designated place that you would find suitable. Thank you so much. Thank you. Do you want to sit here? I am here representing Centenary United Methodist Church, And on their behalf, I want to thank the community of Lexington for being open and cooperative as we have sought to bring to attention the needs and the presence of Native Americans in this area. And the church has acted as a bridge between the two communities. And it's very gratifying to receive this. And thank you very much. Thank you. Now we'll take a picture. And Helen tells me that in the gift are the traditional sacred herbs that the American Indian community uses. So now we'll have a picture. Thank you. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. It is so good to see you. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. I am especially pleased to be able to present this next recognition. If I could ask Reverend James Thurman to come back to the podium. I tried to think when we first met, come up right here, we, I think, were Lafayette band parents together, were we not? I thought it was, yes. Which is a long time ago, but we knew each other before that, so this is especially wonderful. This presentation is in recognition of Reverend Thurman. Recently, Reverend Thurman was named Kentucky Male Veteran of the Year. He was a member of the Army and attended college on the GI Bill. Reverend Thurman has been an active member of the community, serving with several ministries and working with veterans, youth, businesses, and corrections. And so we have a proclamation by Jim Gray, the mayor. Jim Gray, mayor of Lexington, in celebration of the extraordinary life of Dr. James Thurman, Kentucky's 2014 Veteran of the Year, who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, and who has been a dedicated volunteer and faith leader working with young people in summer education programs, helping homeless veterans find jobs, and serving as a chaplain in Lexington's detention center. Hereby proclaims November James Thurman Month in Lexington. Congratulations. I think Charlie, I think Charlie may be first. He may be honored. Do you want to start a few words? Thank you, Lord. Thank you. You're in dangerous territory when you give a Baptist preacher a microphone and an audience. I just want to say I'm deeply honored. I know there were, when I was in Louisville, accepting a congressional citation from a representative of Arlington and the mayor of Louisville and several other places, I got to thinking about all of those that did not come back home. I was so blessed to not only have served, you know, as a teenager, I was an impressionable young man. And I heard John F. Kennedy stand up and say, ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country. And when my time came up in the draft, I went without hesitation. And because I was able to return and do other things in the community where some of my comrades did not, I feel deeply humbled and grateful to have received this this evening. Thank you, and God bless you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, if I could have Bob Babbage come forward. So our next presentation is on diabetes awareness. Diabetes is a disease that impacts an estimated 500,000 Kentuckians. This is a disease that can impact children, young adults, and pregnant mothers. These are all serious conditions. There is no such thing as mild diabetes. And so I have a proclamation and then would like to ask Bob to say a few words. Whereas an estimated 370,000 Kentuckians have diabetes and another 137,000 are undiagnosed but have diabetes, and whereas the incidence of diabetes in Kentucky has tripled since 1995 to the point that one in five Kentuckians has diabetes or prediabetes, and whereas diabetes is controllable and the serious complications of the disease do not have to occur or can be significantly reduced if the disease is diagnosed early and managed well by a health care team and the patient. Therefore, Jim Gray, mayor of Lexington, commemorates November 2014 as Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14, 2014, as World Diabetes Day in Lexington. Signed, Jim Gray. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Having been in this building as a kid and then in parts of four other decades, I have many memories and this is certainly a special one. I'm personally grateful to each of you and respect each of you for the tremendous job you do for our community. Diabetes comes at a cost to society, to families, to people we know and love. It certainly comes at a cost to health plans and health care and those issues that you wrestle with constantly. So tomorrow being World Diabetes Day, celebrated around the planet with many different things, I would call to your attention that Lexington has been at the epicenter of this, and Kentucky particularly, not just because we rank highly in diabetes, but because we've had so many great leaders come out of this state. And by doing this tonight, Vice Mayor and members of the council, you certainly joined that group of leaders. I'm personally very grateful. We have representatives tonight of the YMCA, the American Diabetes Association with which I get to work, Novo Nordisk, a great biotech that works around the world to solve this problem. Again, our deepest appreciation. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody's gone. Okay. We're certainly not under the category of last but not least. We are, this is also, it may be last, but it's a very important presentation. The final presentation is in recognition of Lexington being the host for the 26th annual Kentucky Paralegal Conference. And so I would like to invite Therese Warwick to come stand with me while I read the rest of this. Our government couldn't do as much as it does without the work of the paralegals in the law department. I know that paralegals are an important part of the law practice, and we are proud that the Kentucky Paralegal Association has chosen Lexington as their host city. With that, Jim Gray, mayor of Lexington, in celebration of the paralegal profession and the important work they perform, and in recognition of the 26th Annual Kentucky Paralegal Association's Conference, does hereby declare November 14, 2014, Paralegal Day in Lexington. Thank you. Thank you. Do you want to invite? Yes. And Therese will introduce her friends. Good evening. This is Melissa and Leslie from the Kentucky Paralegal Association. So on behalf of the Kentucky Paralegal Association and the greater Lexington Paralegal Association, we're very honored that we are being recognized. And we're also grateful that the Kentucky Paralegal Association has chosen Lexington as the host city for this conference tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. I'll ask the clerk to go ahead and do second reading of ordinances. And I don't know if there are folks here to speak before item number three or not. we can pause when we get there and see. Ordinance number one, an ordinance amending article 217A of the zoning ordinance to allow as a minor amendment the reduction of surplus parking spaces depicted on the original development plan, Urban County Planning Commission. Number two, an ordinance amending section 2224 of the code of ordinances to provide that all full-time non-sworn unclassified civil service employees and deputies in the office of the coroner meeting the criteria set forth in section 2127H of the code of ordinances shall receive a hazardous duty salary supplement effective upon date of passage. Okay, now I will just ask if I had heard there may be some folks here who wanted to speak before number three is read. This is our e-cigarette ordinance. Does anyone wish to speak at all? Okay. Welcome, Dr. Hahn. Our rules say name and address in three minutes. My name is Ellen Hahn. I live at 1844 Blairmore Court in the great 5th District, Councilman Farmer. And I'm a professor in the College of Nursing, and I direct the Kentucky Center for Smoke-Free Policy. And it was 12 years ago, believe it or not, since this courageous body took up the issue of improving air quality in our great city, making our indoor public places smoke-free. And as a result, you know, in April 2004, we've really seen fewer heart attacks, and I'm happy to report fewer asthma attacks. Those with emphysema go to the hospital less, and fewer adults smoke in Lexington, and our air is cleaner. And for that, we thank you. Electronic cigarettes, however, were not on the scene at that time. And in fact, e-cigarettes came to this country from China in 2007, only seven years ago. So tonight, Lexington will be the eighth Kentucky community to include electronic cigarettes in our smoke-free law. So I'm only here on behalf of the Kentucky Center for Smoke-Free Policy and everyone who breathes in Lexington, that's all of us, to thank you for updating our smoke-free ordinance to include electronic cigarettes so that we can all continue to breathe air free of toxic gases and tiny particles that are known to cause disease and premature death. And so I thank you very much. Thank you so much, Dr. Hahn. And then we have one other person who'd like to speak to this, and that's Scott White. Hello, Mayor, how are you? Scott White, a member of the greater 10th District of the Council. I'm here in my capacity as the chairperson of the Fayette County Board of Health, and obviously we're speaking strongly in favor of this ordinance, as your office knows, and I think the council knows, certainly Councilman Ford knows, the Board of Health has passed a resolution, which I think in some ways, in addition with your office, triggered this. And so we are just very hopeful that the entire council, we can get a unanimous vote of support tonight. So that's all I have unless you have any questions. Commissioner Leach, since his regards, he's actually at an anti-smoking kickoff thing over at the Marriott. Okay, very good. Thank you so much. All right, is there anyone else who wanted to speak to this? If not, I'll ask the clerk to go ahead and continue reading. Ordinance number three, an ordinance amending section 1497-6 of the code of ordinances related to smoking indoors to amend the definition of smoke or smoking to include electronic smoking devices including but not limited to e-cigarettes or e-cigs creating section 1497-8 of the code of ordinances related to smoking indoors to define electronic smoking device.

There's actually two towing contracts. This is for the towing of our vehicles, like a police officer's car breaks down. All right. At Newstoke Road, they go and tow that. This is not the same contract where they're picking up cars that have been in accidents throughout town. I'm relieved. That's the more controversial. Thank you very much. All right.
