And this is, I feel like this needs to be discussed among the commission members. and we haven't had a meeting this year. So moved. Motion by Council Member Henson, seconded by Vice Mayor Kay. To table. Motion to approve is not debatable. So is there, we can vote then. All in favor of the motion to table. Please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. All right. Motion, there is a no. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Thank you. It was a no. All right. Next is communications for information only. Doesn't require a vote. Oh, we didn't. That's right. We need to vote on the mayor's report. Sorry about that. All in favor of the motion to approve the mayor's report, please indicate by saying aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right. Next, the communications from the mayor for information only. Next are announcements. Floor is available to council, and then we'll have three disciplinary actions by the police, Commander David Lyons. The floor is available for announcements by council members. Council members? All right, Council Member Scotchfield. Thank you, Mayor. I said this on Tuesday, but I might as well say it again. We are having a public meeting on Monday, 6.30 to 8 o'clock at Athens Childsburg Elementary, which is right off of Jewett Creek in the Childsburg Neighborhood Association, regarding the new park at Jacobson Park. And we'll have information from the firm that has done design, and we can answer questions. So I encourage anybody to come on out and check it out. A new playground. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Scotchfield. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. I wanted to ask Council Member Scotchfield if that will be the only public meeting that will take place. Because I feel like the Jacobson Park design really affects across the city. So I was just curious if that was. I think their intention had been to do this public meeting, but then to make the information available. I think we're wanting to get things done by mid-spring or so, so we're kind of in a position where we want to move forward. Monica, can you give us maybe? Yes, thank you. We are planning to have the public meeting on Monday. At that point, we'll be listening to feedback from anyone who attends. We've also got a website set up where people can email in if they're not able to attend that meeting. But if we want to achieve a spring and summer completion of this construction, we're going to have to begin rather quickly. Thank you. I just feel like this construction is very important. So I will share the website information with folks in my district, encourage my colleagues to do the same, particularly because of Jacobson Park is going to be unique and more accessible for children with disabilities. I actually saw the design, so I was like thrilled. So thank you. Thank you. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. Just wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow is our Firefighter Appreciation Day, and we are encouraged to wear red also. It is Heart Association Day as well. It's a great opportunity for us to pause and thank the brave men and women of the Lexington Fire Department for their ongoing dedication to duty and for all that they do for us here in Lexington in the face of grave danger. So if you have a moment, maybe in addition to wearing red, citizens are invited to drop by the firehouses to thank the firefighters or, as I said, drop off maybe some cookies or whatever to show their token of appreciation. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Sadi. All right. I'll now ask Commander David Lyons to come to the podium for three police disciplinary items. Good evening. I've got three of these that I'll read for your consideration. The first one is on Friday, September 18, 2015, an allegation was made that Officer Jordan Truett, number 51909, violated General Order 1973-02, Section 1, Subsection 35 on misconduct, and section 1, subsection 35, violating any rules of the division related to general order number 1992-16D, prisoner, security, and transport.

At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee met with Chief Mark Barton is accepted a written reprimand.

Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, if not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Commander. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. All right, that allows us to move to public comments. The floor is open, available for public comment. And I have two signed up for public comment tonight, Mr. Melvin Trent, Jr. and Mr. Bernard McCarthy. Good evening. My name is Melvin Trent, Jr. I'm a former corrections officer at Fayette County Detention Center. was employed for two years, of which one was in custody, one was in intake processing. I'm here on behalf of my brothers and sisters at the jail. I'm no longer there. I'm not at the University of Kentucky. There is a saying in the jail that if you want something done, you need to go downtown. But for fear of retaliation, officers don't want to come down because they're afraid of what's going to happen. There was a communication that was sent out by a commander. I don't know if you've heard of this yet, but there was a commander that had sent out a communication that threatened the lives of two individuals as well as used racial slurs. if you wish to see that, I have a copy of that. I will not repeat those words out of respect because it's pretty disgusting. This happened in October of 2015. This individual is still employed by the division today, holding rank and position, working first shift, master control over African-American officers of which he used a racial slur in regards to. The person of which has, the person of which who shared this, who he sent this to, sent this to a KSP officer, Kentucky State Police Officer, which came up to the jail and made a complaint with the administration. Still nothing was done. Now, it's disgusting the fact that I took pride in wearing that badge. I listened to you in your campaign trail, and you said that you would come to this jail and you would fix things, of which, Mayor, it is horrible. We lose officers every day. If you look in your paperwork or the docket, Andrew Gimm was the most recent. He's now at the University of Kentucky with me. Every week we lose other officers. It's going to get to the point where you're going to have to call the National Guard to run the county jail. I'm asking you to come out of your seats and make a trip to old Frankfort Pike. Don't talk to a commander. Don't talk to a captain or a major. Don't talk to the director. Don't talk to lieutenants. Talk to the ones who are in the units. Fill their hearts. These people fight every day to hold order and to keep the nightmares of this city locked up. And they have to fight the nightmare of an administration attempting to take their livelihood. It is disgusting. And you guys are amazing people because the people elected you to be their voice. But we're mute at Fayette County Detention Center. And I continue to say we because we're still a family. We had two officers that were fired. They were fired, let go of their jobs for having sex and posting it online. Now, I don't agree with that, but that's their cup of tea. But I have a sergeant at this jail that has threatened two lives, that's terroristic threatening, two counts, saying that I will shoot someone in the face. And also said, I will kill myself. I'm going to shoot myself in the face. I'll see you in hell. And this person still carries a Glock 40. Mr. Trang. 180 ground. Excuse me just a minute, Mr. Trent. We have rules of the council which allow for three minutes. I apologize. No, that's all right. That's all right. We want to take seriously any allegations. That's what an open and transparent system is about. But we also need to remind ourselves that there are often other sides of stories, and I'm sure that you understand that. does anyone wish to make a motion to allow Mr. Trent to continue? So moved. All right. So there's a motion. Second. And a second. Three more minutes. For three more minutes. 10-4. I'll wrap it up. This individual is still walking in this facility, presiding over African-American officers, of which one of them is my mother. And at any moment, he can come true to his threats. Let's imagine this. In the climate of the United States, in race relations with law enforcement, we have this situation and nothing is done. He stays true to what he says and decides, you know what, I'm going to take a couple people with me. And we have not acted. We've allowed a mistake. And he pops shots at Fayette County Detention Center. How do we live with that? Because it happens every day in America now. And we're not immune to this. So I ask you not only to deal with this situation, but to look at the common flaws of the administration that's in place. It's disgusting. I'm sorry I keep using that, but that's the only word that comes to mind. these people volunteered for a job that no one else wants to do. No one. And the least we could do is give them the opportunity to do it and worry about inmates in orange and yellow and red suits and not the people in blue. Okay. Mayor, I'm sorry. Mayor, I understand, you know, you're running for senator, which I hate Rand Paul, so good luck. I ask that you not leave an unfinished legacy here in Lexington. Come true on a campaign promise that you will come out and you will fix things, because that is still unfinished business. And I refuse to believe that you're not a man of your work. You've done a lot in the city. I can vow to that. But if two amateur porn stars can lose their job for posting some home videos, surely a racist bigot that threatens the lives of the public that we are held accountable to should not be representing this Fayette County urban government, should not be able to wear that badge. So that's all I have to say. I apologize for me going over it. Certainly quite a bit. Yeah. Quite a bit, Mr. Trent, and we appreciate your coming to see us tonight. Yes, sir. What this council and this administration always tries to do is to take very seriously any suggestion or allegations of irregular or aberrant conduct. And that's what we'll do here. Now, I think our chief administrative officer, Sally Hamilton, has said that she might want to speak. So thank you very much. Thank you. Shortly before this meeting started, I was briefed on this issue at about 5.30, and several facts were laid out to me by Mr. Ballard and by HR. I think Mr. Trent has added a lot more information that we need to pursue, And what I ask is that Glenn Brown, who is my deputy, and Ronnie Bastin take a very good look and review this entire situation. And what we will do, with the council's permission and the mayor's permission, is we will look at this intently and then we will report back. And we appreciate the comments of, let's see here, Mr. Tratt. and we will certainly take all of this into consideration as we look at this matter because we know that you, as well as all of us, deem these things very important. If that's okay. Thank you, Sally. Thank you very much. All right, Mr. McCarthy. Yes. Your Honor and members of the Council, since you guys just voted tonight to lower the speed limits in downtown, Please make sure you have traffic engineering resynchronize the stoplights for that lower speed. It just wouldn't do to have the lights synchronized for a speed that's above the posted speed limit. That sort of sends conflicting messages to drivers. Second, since I've had a peek at what the governor is recommending to the legislature as far as our next six-year road plan is concerned, and it looks like pretty slim pickings, I want to say you need to make developers provide as many streets that connect and as many improvements to the existing streets as possible. In other words, get as much from private sources as you can because we can't rely on there being enough tax revenue available to build what's needed to handle the traffic generated by the city's growth. And finally, after seeing letters to the editor of the local paper blaming certain people's words for inspiring others to commit acts of terrorism, I want to say that the odds of mere words turning an honest person into a terrorist, regardless of the issue he's fighting over, are about as microscopic as the odds of my barred windows and metal doors with metal frames and deadbolt locks turning a burglar into an honest person. Either way, my influence, somebody's choice of targets, but not their fundamental nature. Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Is there anything else to come before the council? Well, if not, then I'll accept a motion to adjourn. Motion by Council Member Farmer. Senate to adjourn. Second by Council Member Farmer. Unless there's objection, we are adjourned. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ¶¶ Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The End Thank you.
