The Board of Health oversees public health matters, while CASA of Lexington provides court-appointed special advocates for children. The Dunbar Neighborhood Center Board governs operations at the community center, and the Tree Board advises on urban forestry and tree preservation matters throughout the city. ## Contested Items The meeting featured one contested item that resulted in a split vote among council members. **Compensation System Salary Schedules** The primary point of contention involved an ordinance addressing salary schedules within the compensation system. During deliberations, an amendment was proposed to modify the pay increase percentage from the originally proposed 3% to 4%. The amendment created a division among council members, with Mr. Farmer and Ms. Bledsoe voting against the proposed increase to 4%. The specific reasons for their opposition were not detailed in the available meeting materials, but their dissenting votes indicate disagreement with either the increased percentage or the amendment process itself. Despite the opposition from these two members, the amendment to increase the pay adjustment to 4% ultimately passed, suggesting that a majority of the council supported the higher compensation increase. This split vote highlights differing perspectives among council members regarding appropriate salary adjustments and compensation policy. The contested nature of this item demonstrates the careful consideration given to compensation matters and the varying viewpoints that can emerge when determining appropriate pay scales for municipal employees. ## Minutes of the May 28, 2015 Council Meeting Agenda item 0764-15 addressed the approval of minutes from the Council's previous meeting held on May 28, 2015. The item was presented with participation from Ms. Lamb and Ms. Scutchfield as key speakers during the discussion. The minutes from the May 28th meeting were brought forward for the Council's review and formal approval as part of standard meeting procedures. Following the presentation and any discussion that may have occurred, the Council proceeded to vote on the approval of the minutes. The item was approved by unanimous vote, with all Council members present supporting the motion to accept the minutes as presented. This approval formally ratifies the record of proceedings from the May 28, 2015 Council meeting, making it part of the official municipal record. ## Recognition - Speigel Heights Neighborhood Outreach The Mayor and Ms. Akers presented a recognition for the Speigel Heights Neighborhood Outreach and various community groups for their cleanup efforts in the neighborhood. This agenda item (0787-15) served as an informational presentation to acknowledge the volunteer work conducted by local organizations. Key speakers during the recognition included: • Mayor Gray • Ms. Akers • Mr. Matt Crawford • Pastor Sam Cirrincione The recognition highlighted the collaborative efforts of multiple community groups who participated in neighborhood cleanup activities in the Speigel Heights area. The presentation acknowledged the volunteer contributions made by these organizations to improve the local community environment. This was an informational item with no action required by the governing body. The recognition served to publicly acknowledge and thank the community volunteers for their service to the Speigel Heights neighborhood. ## Amending budgets for Parks and Recreation The council considered Ordinance 0686-15, which proposed amending certain budgets to reflect current requirements for the Division of Parks and Recreation in the amount of $1,750. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as the key speakers for this agenda item, presenting the budget amendment to the council for consideration. The ordinance was designed to adjust existing budget allocations to meet current operational needs within the Parks and Recreation Division. The relatively modest amount of $1,750 suggests this was a minor budget adjustment rather than a major reallocation of funds. The council approved the ordinance, allowing the Parks and Recreation Division to proceed with the budget amendment as requested. No significant concerns or extended debate were noted regarding this budget modification. *Note: Specific transcript timestamps are not available for this agenda item.* ## Prohibiting smoking electronic devices in retail tobacco stores The council considered Ordinance 0620-15, which would amend the Code of Ordinances to prohibit the use of electronic smoking devices in retail tobacco stores. This ordinance represents an expansion of existing smoking restrictions to include electronic devices such as e-cigarettes and vaping products. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as the key speakers during the discussion of this agenda item. The ordinance specifically targets retail tobacco establishments, which had previously been exempt from certain smoking restrictions for traditional tobacco products. The proposed amendment would close what appears to be a regulatory gap by extending smoking prohibitions to cover electronic smoking devices in these retail environments. This change would align the treatment of electronic smoking devices with existing tobacco regulations in retail tobacco stores. The council approved the ordinance, indicating consensus that electronic smoking devices should be subject to the same restrictions as traditional tobacco products in retail tobacco establishments. This decision reflects growing municipal efforts to regulate electronic smoking devices similarly to conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products. The approval of Ordinance 0620-15 means that customers and employees in retail tobacco stores will no longer be permitted to use electronic smoking devices on the premises, bringing these establishments in line with broader public smoking restrictions that have been extended to include electronic devices. ## Creating the Mayor's International Affairs Advisory Commission The council considered Ordinance 0684-15, which would establish the Mayor's International Affairs Advisory Commission. This ordinance creates a new advisory body to assist the mayor with international relations and affairs. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as the key speakers during the discussion of this agenda item. The ordinance outlines the structure, purpose, and responsibilities of the proposed commission, though specific details about the commission's composition, meeting frequency, or specific duties were not detailed in the available materials. The council ultimately approved the ordinance, formally establishing the Mayor's International Affairs Advisory Commission. This new commission will provide advisory support to the mayor on matters related to international affairs, potentially including sister city relationships, international trade opportunities, cultural exchanges, and other global initiatives that may benefit the city. The approval of this ordinance represents the city's commitment to engaging with international partners and maintaining a global perspective in municipal governance. The commission will serve as a formal mechanism for coordinating and advising on the city's international activities and relationships. *Note: Specific transcript timestamps are not available for this agenda item.* ## Including Downtown Lexington Management District Board in Ethics Act The council considered Ordinance 0621-15, which would amend the Code of Ordinances to include the Downtown Lexington Management District Board as an agency subject to the Ethics Act. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as key speakers during the discussion of this ordinance. The proposed amendment would bring the Downtown Lexington Management District Board under the same ethical standards and oversight requirements that apply to other city agencies. The ordinance represents an effort to ensure consistent ethical governance across all boards and agencies associated with the city. By including the Downtown Lexington Management District Board in the Ethics Act, the city would extend formal ethical oversight to this entity, which manages downtown development and business district activities. The council approved the ordinance, establishing that the Downtown Lexington Management District Board will be subject to the same ethical standards, disclosure requirements, and oversight mechanisms as other city agencies. This action ensures transparency and accountability in the board's operations and decision-making processes. The approval of this ordinance demonstrates the council's commitment to maintaining consistent ethical standards across all city-affiliated boards and agencies, regardless of their specific function or operational structure. ## Abolishing Executive Assistant to Mayor position and creating Chief of Staff The council considered Ordinance 0618-15, which would amend the city's authorized staffing structure by eliminating one Executive Assistant to Mayor position and creating one Chief of Staff position in its place. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as the key speakers during the discussion of this organizational restructuring proposal. The ordinance represents an administrative change that would maintain the same number of positions while updating the title and potentially the responsibilities of the role supporting the mayor's office. The proposal involves a direct substitution - removing one Executive Assistant to Mayor position from the authorized strength and simultaneously adding one Chief of Staff position. This type of restructuring typically reflects evolving administrative needs and modernized organizational structures in municipal government. The council ultimately approved the ordinance, allowing the city to proceed with implementing the new Chief of Staff position while eliminating the Executive Assistant to Mayor role. This change will take effect following the ordinance's passage and any required procedural steps. The approval suggests the council found merit in the proposed restructuring, whether for operational efficiency, clearer role definition, or alignment with contemporary municipal management practices. The change maintains the same staffing level while potentially providing the mayor's office with a position that may carry different responsibilities or authority compared to the previous Executive Assistant role. ## Abolishing Deputy Coroner positions and creating Chief Deputy Coroner positions The council considered Ordinance 0624-15, which would amend the county's authorized staffing structure by abolishing two Deputy Coroner positions and creating two Chief Deputy Coroner positions in their place. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as key speakers during the discussion of this personnel restructuring proposal. The ordinance represents a reorganization within the coroner's office that would elevate the classification level of two existing positions while maintaining the same total number of staff members. The proposed change would transform the current Deputy Coroner roles into Chief Deputy Coroner positions, suggesting an enhancement in responsibilities, authority, or supervisory duties for these roles within the coroner's office structure. This type of reclassification typically accompanies expanded job duties or the need for higher-level oversight within a department. The council approved the ordinance, allowing the coroner's office to proceed with the position reclassifications. The approval enables the office to fill these newly created Chief Deputy Coroner positions and begin operating under the revised organizational structure. This personnel action reflects the county's ongoing efforts to align job classifications with actual duties and responsibilities while ensuring appropriate staffing levels for essential public services like the coroner's office. ## Transferring Arborist position from Streets and Roads to Environmental Services The council considered Ordinance 0654-15, which would transfer one Arborist position from the Division of Streets and Roads to the Division of Environmental Services. This administrative change would amend the city's authorized staffing structure without affecting the total number of positions. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as key speakers during the discussion of this agenda item. The ordinance represents an organizational restructuring to better align the arborist function with environmental services operations rather than traditional streets and roads maintenance activities. The transfer appears to be part of a broader effort to optimize departmental responsibilities and ensure that tree-related services are housed within the most appropriate division. Moving the arborist position to Environmental Services would likely provide better coordination with other environmental and conservation programs. The council approved the ordinance, allowing the city to proceed with the organizational change. This approval enables the formal transfer of the position and associated responsibilities between the two divisions, ensuring continued arborist services under the Environmental Services umbrella. The measure passed without apparent controversy, suggesting council members viewed the reorganization as a logical administrative improvement that would enhance service delivery while maintaining existing staffing levels. ## Creating Director of Enterprise Solutions position The council considered Ordinance 0661-15, which would amend the city's authorized staffing strength by creating one new position of Director of Enterprise Solutions. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as the key speakers during the discussion of this agenda item. The ordinance represents an expansion of the city's organizational structure to include a specialized leadership role focused on enterprise-wide technology solutions and systems management. The proposed Director of Enterprise Solutions position would be a new addition to the city's workforce, requiring an amendment to the authorized personnel strength. This type of position typically oversees large-scale technology initiatives, enterprise software systems, and strategic technology planning across multiple city departments. During the meeting, the council reviewed the details of the position creation, including its role within the city's organizational structure and the rationale for establishing this new leadership role. The discussion involved consideration of how this position would support the city's technology infrastructure and enterprise-wide solutions. Following the presentation and any discussion among council members, the ordinance was approved. This approval authorizes the city to proceed with recruiting and hiring for the Director of Enterprise Solutions position, expanding the city's capacity to manage and oversee enterprise technology systems and solutions. The creation of this position reflects the city's commitment to strengthening its technology leadership and ensuring effective management of enterprise-wide systems and solutions across city operations. ## Amending budgets for municipal expenditures The council considered Ordinance 0716-15, which proposed amendments to certain municipal budgets to reflect current expenditure requirements. The ordinance was designed to adjust existing budget allocations to better align with the city's current operational needs. Ms. Henson and Mr. Kay served as the key speakers during the discussion of this budget amendment ordinance. The item focused on making necessary adjustments to municipal spending categories to ensure proper allocation of funds for ongoing city operations and services. The ordinance was presented as a routine administrative measure to update budget figures and reflect actual expenditure patterns that had emerged since the original budget adoption. Such amendments are typically necessary during the fiscal year to account for changing circumstances, unexpected costs, or reallocation of resources between different municipal departments and programs. Following the presentation and discussion by the key speakers, the council moved forward with the proposal. The ordinance was ultimately approved, allowing the city to proceed with the revised budget allocations as outlined in the amendment. The approval of Ordinance 0716-15 enables the municipality to adjust its spending plans to better match current operational requirements and ensures that city departments have appropriate funding levels for their ongoing activities and responsibilities. *Note: Specific transcript timestamps are not available for this agenda item.* --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 0686-15** — passed (14-0): Amending budgets for Parks and Recreation - **Ordinance 0620-15** — passed (14-0): Prohibiting smoking electronic devices in retail tobacco stores - **Ordinance 0684-15** — passed (14-0): Creating the Mayor’s International Affairs Advisory Commission - **Ordinance 0621-15** — passed (14-0): Including Downtown Lexington Management District Board in Ethics Act - **Ordinance 0618-15** — passed (14-0): Abolishing Executive Assistant to Mayor position and creating Chief of Staff - **Ordinance 0624-15** — passed (14-0): Abolishing Deputy Coroner positions and creating Chief Deputy Coroner positions - **Ordinance 0654-15** — passed (14-0): Transferring Arborist position from Streets and Roads to Environmental Services - **Ordinance 0661-15** — passed (14-0): Creating Director of Enterprise Solutions position - **Ordinance 0716-15** — passed (14-0): Amending budgets for municipal expenditures --- ## Full transcript The Thank you.

Let's bow our head and pray. Father, we come before you so thankful for the people in this room and the leadership that you've bestowed and you've given.

And we thank you so much for your blessings. We pray that you pour out your blessings as plans for this city are made. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you, Pastor.

Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next on our agenda is a presentation related to the Spiegel Heights cleanup, and I'll ask Council Member Akers to please join me at the podium. Thank you. This is yours, right? Yes. All right. Okay. Here we go. All right. Councilman Baker is going to join me here. Let me just give a little bit of context here. Over the past four months, the administration, of course, and the council have been working to put together a budget, and that budget recognizes the need to invest in our city, and just as important is the work of community organizations and groups that invest their time in our neighborhoods to help build our city. A group from Centerpoint Church reflects that commitment, and they are here tonight. They helped clean up the Spiegel Heights neighborhood, pitched in when a neighborhood needed help, what good citizenship is all about, and we're happy to celebrate them tonight. We need to take a moment, too, to celebrate our divisions who organized these efforts. Some areas need some help cleaning up the area, and our Division of Code Enforcement does a great job of engaging community groups and other divisions to help with these efforts. Without their work and the assistance of divisions of police, waste management, and others, as Council Member Akers knows, especially in this project, the support and organization for neighborhood cleanups might not be as possible. So we want to thank you. thanks to our code enforcement officers, in this case, that helped organize these efforts. So, Council Member Akers, before we make this proclamation, I know you have a few words to offer. Thank you, Mayor. In addition to code enforcement and the church at Centerpoint, of which Pastor Sam is the pastor, I also want to recognize our police department. Folks from the We Care project, Habitat for Humanity, also came and worked on some houses in the neighborhood. Waste management staff came. This all happened on a Saturday. We had volunteers from drug court. Here's some photos. And the president and, of course, residents from the neighborhood. So, you know, this is a neighborhood. There was a need. residents who could not otherwise afford maybe to clean up and do some of the code work that was needed in their neighborhood. And so it was really I was really pleased to see that Matt Crawford from Code Enforcement helped organize all of these people and all the different groups to come together for the benefit of the neighborhood. So thank you, Matt. And let's see, would I guess Matt like to say something? Yep. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you all. It was a pleasure to organize this. This is a neighborhood outreach program we hope to offer to each council district. Please contact our division if you like, and we'll see what we get going for you. Thank you very much. All right. Now, I'll ask the folks from the church, Pastor, if you would like to say a few words. You've already helped us earlier with the invocation, but please join us again. Well, it's a privilege and an honor to serve the city, and we have a lot of folks who worked really hard and found enjoyment in doing so. And I'll say the same as my friend here. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to call us as well. So thank you. One I should mention, we have Connie Rayford here from Powell in the police department. And we care, as well as Sergeant Barry, who were obviously participating that day, too. Thank you, guys. Good pictures, too. Yeah, good pictures there. Okay. So here is, this is the proclamation, and it reads this way, Center Point Church Day. I, Jim Gray, as mayor of Lexington, in recognition of its congregation's hard work and beautification efforts throughout the Spiegel Heights neighborhood and in appreciation of the caring volunteers who helped make Lexington a special place, do hereby declare June 11, 2015 as Centerpoint Church Day in Lexington. Thank you. Wow. Thank you. We'll give you a picture up here in front with the council. Okay. Okay, so just bring me in. Just ask me. Go, come on up. Do you want the, uh, here we go? Sure. Sure. Hi, I'm Shavonna, Ryan, Taylor, Shavonna. Nice to meet you, Shavonna Akers. All right, we've got everybody. Everyone smile. We'll take one more. Thank you. I'm going, before we're complete with presentations, we need to recognize a few special guests with us tonight, and I'm going to ask Council Member Peggy Henson to recognize Scout Troop 93. Three. Thank you, Mayor. A couple of weeks ago, well, actually, I was contacted by Chris Snell, lieutenant with the police department about a Boy Scout troop and asked if I would come talk to them. And they're trying to get their citizenship merit badge. So I went and met with them, not for a real long period of time, but about an hour, I guess. And I found out they are just wonderful young men. But they're currently working on this merit badge, and they're here tonight with their scoutmaster, Richard Archer, who will help them earn this badge. The scouts understand how their local government is. This badge, once they receive it, it will give them a good understanding of how local community is governed, what services are offered, and how they can become better citizens in the community. The merit badge is one of three citizenship badges that the Scouts must earn in order to advance to the rank of Eagle Scout. Now, I will tell you that, in my opinion, from spending a little bit of time with these young men, I can already tell you they're good citizens. But I just wanted to take the time to recognize them. They're going to stay with us for a while through our meeting and hopefully learn something. So thank you all for being here. If you want to stand up, that would be fun. Let's take a picture. Let's take a picture. Wes, can we get a picture? Yes. Camera. Right there. That's it. That's perfect. This way you can show them the Mary Beth. This is my history. All right. We're going back in here. That's up. You want to go down with them? All right, bud. Stand right. Thanks. Oh, you want me? Wow. Wow. Let's see. There we go. All right. Everybody's in view. Everyone smile. One more. Okay. Good. Good deal. Good deal. Good deal. Good deal. Good deal. Good deal. All right, thank you. And that allows us to move to a second reading of ordinances.

It is like such a relief when we finally get through. it but all in all i felt like we we did a good job i um i don't think it was perfect perfect by no means but and um council member bled so i do support the esr reviewing that and going back through that again and i have a lot of faith in council member i'm commissioner Ford, sorry, and his leadership that we can perfect this. I know that there were agencies that didn't get everything they wanted, and I know that we can't absolutely fund everything as much as we would like to. But all in all, I think that we did a good job, and we were respectful of each other, and I'm glad it's over. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Henson. Council Member Maloney. Last week, the other day, I thanked all the council. I left out a group. I want to thank our council staff, Stacy and all your folk, Teresa, Paul, and Craig. I mean, they really helped out, and I want to commend them because they went to all the meetings that the mayor, your budget, and they also were able to help a lot of the council members. So I want to commend your staff, and they did a great job. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Maloney. Anybody else for announcements? All right, I'll just pass the chair to vice mayor for a minute. I'd like to make a couple of comments on the budget as well. Essentially to say the same thing that others have said with punctuation and in bold face, Many thanks to the council. You all have spent countless hours, and a process like this is not without tension. And really appreciate, from the point of view of the administration as mayor, the level of commitment that all of you put into it. Council Member Maloney, thanks for thanking and acknowledging the council's staff as well. And it would be seriously remiss of me if I didn't acknowledge the core team from the administration led by our chief administrative officer, Sally Hamilton, chief of staff, Jamie Emmons, Bill O'Mara, your work, significant. You all were in the budget office with Melissa and Rusty for, it seemed like, weeks on end. And so thank you all. thank the entire group. It does, as the Vice Mayor said, as Council Member Henson and Maloney said, and I know that this is a sentiment shared by all of you, that it really represents at the very core level, at the very basic level, democracy at its, really, its most remarkable and finest. And for that, I think that all of us, all of you, can be really proud. So thank you all very much. Thank you. You may have to cheer back. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. All right, if that's all the public comments, then it's all the announcements, then we can move to public comments. And first for public comment tonight is Christopher Dodson. Mr. Dodson? Yes, sir. and Chris you may you may know our protocol that there's a three there's a three minute I won't take that long pardon I won't take that long oh that's okay I just it's my job it's my job to inform those who are here and if you needed more time you would be more likely to get it from a motion by a council member terrific thank you my name is Chris Dodson I'm a member of lexcreate.org We really like the playground at Jacobson Park. We sent a letter, but I thought I'd come and bug you in person as well. Because we like the playground with regards to number 88, we'd like to make two requests. One is that any agreement executed with David Williams and associates require them to put an option in to refurbish the existing playground, keeping the existing design essentially the same, but bringing it up to current ADA specifications using low-maintenance building materials. We do understand that the wood is a problem. We really like the current design, though. And number two, that although I'm sure it's probably already planned, that the city get public input on the different options before deciding to go forward with something. We love the current design of the playground, and our kids love it, and we just want to make sure to preserve that. It was built by Lexingtonians, as everyone knows, 20 years ago, and can't see improving on it a whole lot other than bringing it up to spec and refurbishing it. Any questions? See? I think I'll have only got a minute there, right? Thanks, Chris. Thanks very much. Thank you. Yes, sir. And next is Bernard McCarthy. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. Events that have happened elsewhere around the country have me wondering, does the training our police officers get teach them enough to recognize the difference between someone who's drunk and someone who's having a stroke? or a seizure? I ask because I probably don't know the difference. When I have, years ago, found someone lying unconscious in the middle of Harry Street, and I backed up the pickup truck I had at the time, went to the nearest phone booth and called 911. Hey, I thought the guy was drunk. Turns out he had some kind of seizure-producing disorder. and fainted in the street a few more times after that before he finally died. I'm not sure whether his death was from anything related to the seizures or not. But I have to ask, because of at least three people I've known who've had strokes over the years, one was younger at the time than I am now, of a few people that died of heart attacks. At least two were younger than I was at the time that they died. Definitely younger than I am now. And I would hate, well, I'd hate for somebody to die that could have been saved if the people responding had known what was going on for sure. But I also realized, yeah, even if you get it right and you haul him to the nearest emergency room, You could still have a dead person on your hands, but at least if you get it right, you don't get blamed by his next of kin. Bernard, thank you very much. Public Safety Commissioner Bastin is here, and he might help you with the question on the training related to that. All right. That's all who signed on for public comment. If there's nothing further to come before the council, I'll accept a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn by Council Member Stenet. seconded by council member Bledsoe. Unless there's objection, we are adjourned. I'm sure missing you Don't know if I could ever live a life without you All it is is that I'm sure missing you
