Ordinance No. 6, an ordinance creating... Mayor. Council Member Lamb. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. I move to remove Item No. 6 under Ordinance's second reading from the docket. Second. It's a motion by Council Member Lamb and second by Council Member Maloney. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right. Hearing none, then we can vote. Okay. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. I was just curious why it's being removed. There has been discussion behind the information about the sprinkler review fees, and so we have decided the administration and the council, We have had a discussion about having further review of it and it coming back at a later time. Thank you, ma'am. All right. Is there any further discussion on the motion? To clarify. Council Member Massadi. I'm sorry. Well, maybe just to clarify, based on the discussion that was at the previous meeting, because there hasn't been discussion since, the full council hasn't discussed it since. since that meeting. So I was just clarifying the discussion. Maybe we can, is someone from the administration able to speak to this? I think, yeah, Commissioner Bastin. For the full history on it, is that what we're looking for? No, I don't believe, because there was discussion last meeting, but Councilmember Lamb had just said there had been discussion after that by the council so I wanted to clarify at least that's how I understood it so I wanted to clarify that there hadn't been discussion and I think there has been some engagement among council members and Commissioner Baston so would it be worthwhile for Commissioner Baston to speak to it bring us up to date I'm not sure I'm aware of the full history of the issue, but in talking with Keith Jackson, he felt like it was moving just a little bit faster than he had anticipated and wanted some additional time to go back and have a better plan for projected revenues and those kinds of things so that when he brings the plan back, you have full information on it. Councilmember Soddy. Thank you, Mayor. I just wondered, are we putting this into committee or what do we intend to do with this? How are we going to go forward with it? I guess Councilman Lamb, do you have a thought on that? In talking with Keith today, it was his preference to remove it from the docket so that he can get that plan formulated and then bring it back at a later time. You can bring it back to us. I just wondered how we were going to discuss it. That was just my concern. Right. I mean, I spoke with Mr. Bastin, and he said that it was their preference to just remove it at this time. Would be. Oh, I understand that. I'm just wondering how we're going to, as far as our further deliverance on it, are we going to put it in committee, or what are we going to do with it? I didn't hear anybody say that that's decided yet, or it's been a recommendation yet. Okay. I'm hearing that Chief Jackson wants to review it and then come back to the council with a recommendation, and it may be that the council then would put it in committee. Okay. That's fine. Be good? Yeah, I think that's right. I mean, I personally think that it would be best to bring it back to committee and have it come out of committee. Okay. All right. Thank you. Any further discussion? Okay. Then we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Council Member Lamb. All right, Madam Clerk, when you're ready, if you'll please continue.

Is there any discussion on the motion? All right. Hearing none, Council Member Lane. Thank you, Mayor. Could Commissioner Reed come up for a second, please? My inquiry was on motion number 11 and motion number 15, where we're providing space for organizations at no cost. And I was under the recollection is we had an ordinance that said we would charge the market value for space provided in our buildings. These are long-term. I think Beth could speak to this. Commissioner Mills could speak to this as well because these social service quasi-government type agencies, we've, as a rule, have been waiving the rental fee and only charging on operating and maintenance. It's a small amount of square footage, but do you have some options? Both of these agencies have been a part of urban county government. Their directors are paid through LFUCG, and so they've been in our buildings for years. Partners for Youth has been 20 years, and I think CASA probably 15. We just wanted to put them in the lease like everybody else, but we're recommending no rent. Okay. Well, the reason I asked, we went through a long process to evaluate all of the leasing program and to make sure that we were compensated for space. This may be a special exception. I just wanted to clarify that. We're down to very few who aren't putting the full load. All right. Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you, Council Member Lane. All right. Is there any further discussion on the motion? All right. Hearing none, then I'll ask the clerk to please call the roll. Mr. Brown? Yes. Ms. Evans? Yes. Mr. Farmer? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Ford? Yes. Mr. Gibbs? Yes. Ms. Henson? Yes. Mr. Kay? Yes. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Mr. Lane? Yes. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Massadi? Yes. Ms. Gutchfield? Yes. Mr. Stennett? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Akers? Yes. And Ms. Bledsoe? Yes.

Hearing none, then Madam Clerk, I'll ask you to please call the roll. Mr. Brown? Yes. Ms. Evans? Yes. Mr. Farmer? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Ford? Yes. Mr. Gibbs? Yes. Ms. Henson? Yes. Mr. Kay? Yes. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Mr. Lane? Yes. Mr. Maloney? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Massadi? Yes. Ms. Scutchfield? Yes. Mr. Stennett? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Akers? Yes, ma'am. And Ms. Bledsoe? Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The vote reflects passage of the motion. It allows us to move on to next on our agenda is communications from the mayor. That's for information only. No action required. Next is announcements. Any council members have an announcement? Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Mayor. Just a couple of announcements tonight. One, I want to thank our Streets and Roads crew. I know it spreads over a couple different departments, but we're doing a great job at the last over the weekend, Commissioner Holmes. And this week, I know, was our first snowfalls of the year, and they were ready to go. So thank you all for the men and women out there who did all that work. I know they worked some long hours. And then I also want to, I know my colleagues know up here, but I also want to bring to the public's attention that our heroin epidemic that this community has dealt with over the last year and a half or so is getting some support from our state legislators on Tuesday, February 3rd, at the Capitol Rotunda at 10 a.m. Hopefully they'll be introducing the bill that will help our efforts here locally, especially in the war on heroin. So hopefully everyone can come to Frankfort on Tuesday at 10 a.m. and help us support that bill and get it through our state. Also along those same lines, most of you who are on council know that we are in the process of a pilot program that was approved by a council last year called SAVI, Substance Abuse and Violence Intervention, S-A-V-I. Hopefully, long term, that will become a permanent office within LFUCG, but we had a kickoff back in November of last year, and the committees have been meeting, gathering data and information. I know Council Member Henson attended, along with myself, at the kickoff meeting, and there's been a lot of people in the community that have been supportive of this and been participating. So along those lines, we have the information ready to go to council, and we had anticipated bringing it on February the 17th to the council work session. So tonight I'll go ahead and make that motion to bring that to the council work session for introduction. And the reason why we're doing it now is twofold. One, Commissioner Mills will no longer be with us, and she was very instrumental in getting this off and running. But two, or actually three, second reason is in preparation for the mayor's budget, to give the mayor time and introduction to the mayor and to the public, time to comment before the mayor brings his budget the first week of April. And three, and the third reason for bringing it directly to work session is it really doesn't fit into any committee. There's actually three different committees, public safety, social services, and budget that could actually fall into. So I'll make that motion to bring that report to the full council at work session on February the 17th. Second. Motion by Council Member Stendant, seconded by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? I have a question. All right. Hearing none, then. I do. I have a question. Council Member Maloney. I watched this last year on television when you all were discussing putting it in a certain committee, and I thought you all already had it put it for this month, February the 17th, already to be discussed. Was it on there to be discussed anyway, or am I wrong on that? I just thought it was. And what happened? Why didn't? Is it not on there? Am I wrong that it was supposed to be on there or not? If I'm wrong, just let me know. I don't know. Is that a question or is that a comment? I thought it was already to be discussed on the 17th. I thought it was supposed to be discussed on the 17th anyway, because I was excited about hearing about it. I just want to know. I can't answer that question as a chair. Does somebody else want to? I'll answer it, Mayor, if I can. Okay. Since I made the motion. This was going through a pilot program, and now the report is ready and ready to go. We had this date marked with the last council, but I'm just doing it formally tonight so the new council can also take part in the action as well. All right. So is there any further discussion? All right. If not, then we can take a vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Mayor. That's all. Thank you, sir. All right. Any further announcements? additional announcements. All right. If not, then that allows us to move on to public comments. I have three who have signed for public comment, and I believe Diana Rast. Diana is going to yield to Brian Schilfke. Mr. Schilfke. Yes, sir. Brian, come right on up. First of all, Mr. Mayor, I sympathize with your voice and all. I'm suffering from bronchitis, infected sinuses, and an affected ear. Thank you, Mayor Gray, council members. My name is Brian Schliffke. I reside at 3521 Winding Drive in the 8th District. I have lived at that residence for 22 years, soon to be 23. Obviously, I'm quite familiar with the Armstrong Mill Road corridor. I come before you this evening to speak to the comprehensive plan of 2013 and the Board of Adjustment Case No. C-20152, the property at 1240 Armstrong Mill, proposed site for the Lexington Islamic Center. Some background. Mayor Gray, in his State of the City Address, Tuesday, January 20th, listed two main themes. One, public safety. The second, quality of life. From Planning's Armstrong Mill neighborhood small area plan, two points may be taken from the mission statement, stabilization and revitalization. We will return to the points later. Late summer 2014, early fall 2014, Planning and the subcontracting consulting firm of EHR Consultants initiated a series of meetings. First was a kickoff meeting at the community center at Center Parkway adjacent to the Tate's Creek School complex. Over the next few months, meetings, surveys, questionnaires, workshops were held. All of these meetings culminated in a final meeting at the Tate's Creek Middle School Library on Tuesday, January the 6th, 2015. Planning would now complete their study with the EHI consultants, analyze the data, and make recommendation for the Armstrong Mill Corridor. Excuse me. One week later, a neighborhood association meeting at River Park was held, and we residents of the Armstrong Mill Corridor were informed of the Board of Adjustment meeting to be held Friday, January the 30th, 2015, in this chamber at 1.30 p.m. From the start, all of our meetings with planning and EHI consultants. No mention was made of any meeting by the Board of Adjustment. Timing of the request to the Board may have been the reason. Tomorrow afternoon in this chamber, the Board of Adjustment will meet and could render a decision on the property at 1240 Armstrong Mill Road. We, the residents of the Armstrong Mill Corridor, have no problem with the request of the hearing by the Board of Adjustment. The residents of Armstrong Mill Corridor and River Park Neighborhood Association will make its presentation to the Board of Adjustment tomorrow afternoon. Should not plan any EHI consultants, complete their study, analysis, recommendations, and now factor into the equation the actual real impact of the proposed facility? Has $105,000, the subcontracted fee for the services of the EHI consultants, been wasted? What does the city have to show to the tax paying residents of Lexington for the expenditure of the $105,000? To the residents of the Armstrong Milk Order, nothing, absolutely nothing. These monies could have been effectively spent any of the following ways. New police cruisers for the city. Updating the roll call center at Center Parkway. head cameras for our police personnel, spring maintenance prior to the opening of swimming pool facilities throughout the city, and so on. In the city of Lexington address, Mayor Gray spoke of the proposed sum of $100,000 for homeless. I am a veteran. I served two tours of duty in South Vietnam, totaling 20 months. homeless vets men and women who have faithfully served you would also be beneficiaries of this hundred thousand mayor grace spoke this situation brings up the issue of effective governance to ensure the financial accountability responsibility of lexington taxpayer dollars city revenue the city needs to review the process procedure now in place it does not seem very coherent i urge the city to review their processes, procedures, governing, and decision-making structure. In summary, and returning to the four points described earlier, public safety, quality of life, stabilization, revitalization, would the addition of the proposed facility enhance these four points to the Armstrong Mill corridor? Quite frankly, the facility does not fit. What is more perplexing is the fact or our understanding that planning staff has recommended to the Board of Adjustment a usage change. After all of this, more perplexing is the fact planning never asks the neighborhood residents who will be affected. One question, is this the manner an effective city government works? Excuse me. Tomorrow Friday morning, I urge all of you to take a ride on the Armstrong Mill Corridor. Turn off Tate's Creek. Go east past Man O' War. Turn around for the return trip. Experience the corridor as the commuters do. Attempt to factor the impact of the proposed facility between Crosby and Appian Way as you drive the corridor. Lastly, at 1.30 p.m. tomorrow, make yourself available in this chamber when the River Park Neighborhood Association makes their presentation to the Board of Adjustment. All levels of planning should attend or at least watch on TV Channel 3. Maybe the neighborhood residents should replace planning and serve the residents of Lexington and protect their hard-earned tax dollars. Thank you, Mayor Gray, for the opportunity to speak. Thank you, Council. Thank you, Brian. And next we have Mr. Bernard McCarthy. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. I wish to point out with all this talk about you guys wanting to dig town branch up and reopen it, I wish to point out that we need to keep every last inch of street capacity that we currently have through downtown, and we really need more than we have. And if you dig up any parking lots, you need to replace every lost parking space, which I suppose you could do by building multi-level parking structures in one spot to replace several surface lots, but I really think throwing away infrastructure to reopen a creek that was put underground years ago to free up the space for that infrastructure is really rather wasteful of money, which is rather scarce. But if this county government has more money coming in than it needs to meet its current expenses, if anything, you should put the money into building new streets. Not scaping them, but actually lengthening streets, building streets where none exist, or widening those that are currently too narrow. And maybe rounding off some of the tight corners in the inner city. because at the moment with the state gas tax indexed to gas prices, unless the legislature in Frankfurt does something different in the current short session, there just won't be enough state money to keep up with traffic here. And hence, more local money might at least plug some of the gap. or you could help lean on any members of the legislature that you personally know and nudge them towards putting the fuel taxes back up where they were. Thank you, Bernard. All right. That's all who signed up to speak. That allows us to move to a motion to adjourn. Is there a motion to adjourn? So moved by Council Member Scotchfield, second by Council Member Massadi, unless there's objection. We are adjourned. Thank you.
