The ordinance was tabled due to concerns about the potential impact of state House Bill 153, which would affect the industry's regulatory framework. The council voted 12-3 in favor of tabling the measure, indicating significant support for delaying action until the implications of the pending state legislation could be better understood. **Public Comment on Truck Routing to Waste Services of the Bluegrass Landfill** Residents of the Mallard Point Subdivision presented organized opposition to proposed waste truck routing plans. The community submitted a petition expressing concerns about using I-75 exit 129 and US-25 for waste truck deliveries to the Bluegrass Landfill. Residents cited safety and traffic concerns as the basis for their opposition. The petition included a specific request that contractual language be implemented to mandate the use of exit 136 as an alternative route for waste truck traffic. This proposal reflected the community's effort to redirect heavy truck traffic away from their residential area to a route they considered safer and less disruptive. ## Ordinance 0240-15: Mobile Food Unit Vendors in Professional Office (P-1) Zone The Council approved an ordinance permitting mobile food unit vendors to operate as an accessory use within Professional Office (P-1) zones.

Any council member have an announcement? All right. Then next on our agenda is public comments. The floor is available for public comments. Mr. Mundy, anybody sign up for public comments? All right. All right. Mr. Collins has signed up for public comment. Thank you, sir. My name is Bruce Koontz. I'm a resident of Georgetown, Scott County, and I'm the current president for the Mallet Point Owners Association, a community located on U.S. 25 north of I-75, exit 129. I would like to thank you, Mayor Gray, and all the Urban Council members for the opportunity to present a petition regarding the routing of trucks delivering the Lexington Fayette Urban County Solid Waste to Waste Services of Bluegrass Landfill located in Scott County. I understand that this is a first reading tonight, that there is an appeal, and there's other reading, so I do appreciate the opportunity to present this petition. Please note that this petition does not represent an objection to awarding the contract to Waste Services of the Bluegrass. The petition asks that the route used to deliver waste be specified in the contract. This is needed to address significant safety and traffic issues if I-75 exit 129 and northbound US-25 is used to deliver waste to WSB. There are two exits from I-75 that can be used to access the WSB, exit 129 and exit 136. Exit 129 is a heavily traffic area, residential, school bus, Toyota shift change, and commercial traffic along with two truck stops. Use of this exit will increase congestion and pose significant safety risks along an approximate eight-mile stretch of two-lane northbound US-25, passing nine housing developments, a fire station, and an elementary school. Unlike I-75, US-25 is not adequately designed or maintained to routinely handle heavily loaded vehicles, such as the tractor-trailers. An example of this would be the road shoulders, which routinely are breaking away, narrowing the roadway and causing vehicles to move towards or over the center line into the path of oncoming traffic. This condition alone is a significant safety concern when two large vehicles, such as a tractor-trailer and a school bus, must pass each other. Use of I-136, while a slightly longer distance, has considerably less traffic and allows trucks to primarily use I-75 with only a short distance of about one and a half miles traveling southbound on US-25 before arriving at the entrance road to WSB. There are no housing developments, schools, or fire stations on the southbound section of US-25 before coming to the WSB entrance road. It is requested that the petition signed by over 200 residents of Northern Scott County and provided to the council members and to the council clerk be entered into the council's meeting record. To address our safety concerns, we ask that via contractual language or other appropriate written instrument that WSB and or its subcontractors agree to utilize the I-75 exit 136 route. We respectfully submit it. Thank you, Mr. Coons. And Frank, you wish to speak? I'm not sure. You're good? Okay. All right. Appreciate it. Thank you all for coming all the way from Georgetown and visiting with us. My pleasure. All right. It looks like that's all who signed up then for public comments. I will, if nothing further to come before the council, then I'll ask for a motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. Motion by Council Member Stennett. Second by Council Member Scotchville. unless there's an objection, we will stand adjourned. Thank you. All around me, offer up your best needs.
