Well, you all can stay right where you are for just a minute. Well, this is going to be easy. Let's start by saying let's give it up for the Paul Lawrence Dunbar State champions who are here tonight with us. Thank you. So several members of the 2016 Paul Lawrence Dunbar State Champions are here with us tonight. Welcome to all of you. As everybody knows, this is the first state basketball championship for Dunbar. Congratulations to all of you. I also want to congratulate the Paul Lawrence Dunbar cheerleaders, who were named the top cheerleading team of the Sweet 16. Let's give them a hand. Okay. Tonight we are presenting Spirit of Lexington Awards to the coaches, to each team member, and to the managers. Now, I'm going to ask Coach Chalk if he will come up, and he's going to share some thoughts and comments with everyone, and then he will decide how he's going to deliver these to everybody. Coach? Thank you. You did a great one. Thank you. Everybody give this guy a great pan of applause, too, for what a great job. Thank you. Well, I want to thank the mayor and the entire council for having us, and Amanda especially for setting all this up and coordinating it. We really appreciated it. It's one of those kind of things that it's special to the guys right now. It means even more as you get older and you think about all the people that wanted to recognize you, wanted to talk to you, wanted to celebrate it with you, and that's really an exciting thing, and it's something that means something carrying on beyond the years of just high school as they get older and older. It's something special to look back on. These will be something special. We've had proclamations from the Senate and the House over in Frankfurt already and different things like that, so we've got a stack of these. I told the mayor that I'm going to wait until the banquet to give them all out to them when their parents are there, too, to make sure they get home safely so they can commemorate, because these are something you'll want to have. You know, 20 years from now, this stuff really means a lot to you, and it's really a neat thing because it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we want to make sure they have all those keepsakes and they keep them with them until they get old enough to really appreciate them. So we appreciate it again. We thank you so much. The support from the entire community of Lexington has just been tremendous, and it's been exciting, and it's ongoing, and we're in the process of just trying to enjoy it and keep moving on towards new things and getting ready for our banquet. We're going to celebrate. We're taking a new picture and doing all kinds of things. It seems like every couple days we've got something else we're doing, So it's really been exciting, and the guys have really enjoyed participating in it, and we thank you so much for having us. Well, as the coach said, Council Member Bledsoe has been a part of practically every celebration so far, and she has been right there. Before I ask her to speak, I do want to recognize there's a lot of families and friends here, So if you all will stand, let's give you all a hand. All the fans. Yeah. Come on, come on. Boy down. Thank you, Mayor. I know a number of my colleagues went to the Sweet 16, and the longer that you guys were in, the more of us kept coming back. So I'll say, I know James Brown is an alumni of Dunbar, so we had a good time cheering for you. I actually went to Lafayette don't make it but I'll tell you that we live close enough to hear the Dunbar band and the football and the basketball and baseball stuff and my kids we come over and we cheer for you all a lot and so during the tournament my son looked at me and said mom how much does it cost to be a Dunbar basketball player wow probably a lot of money in camp is what I'm guessing so you gave hope to not only my son but to a lot of kids and a lot of Fayette County kids who came and said wow Lexington team is still playing So we're really proud to celebrate each of you. And as a little surprise, if you're willing, thanks to downtown Lexington Corporation and our city, we'd like to make you the Grand Marshals of the July 4th Parade. And now you'll make every little boy jealous because thanks to our fire department, we'd like to let you ride in style on one of our fire engines. So you'll have a nice little ride. So I thank the fire department for allowing that as well. And we'll coordinate that with your coaches. We're really proud of you, really excited for you, and hope that one day you look back on and realize how much Lexington took pride in your accomplishments. So congratulations. We don't want to get pictures with you guys, everybody. So if you all come up to the front along with the council. I'm not seeing you at all. Okay, I'm going to take two or three of these. If the council can stand on your tiptoes. I was like, oh. I thought, well, I didn't get the bar. No, no. Let's see. And then let me read my story. Okay. Okay. Our next, we've got a proclamation next, and I'm going to ask Council Member Evans to introduce the context of the proclamation. Thank you, Mayor. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, of which I am a member, is a private, non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide assistance and support through established programs in the community throughout the world. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 collegiate women at Howard University in Washington, D.C. These young women wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence, to provide scholarships, to provide support to the undeserved, to educate and stimulate participation in the establishment of positive public policy, and to highlight issues and provide solutions for problems in their communities. They performed their first public act as participants in the Women's Suffrage March in Washington, D.C. In 1932, eight wonderful Deltas in Lexington founded the first alumni chapter of Kentucky. Since the birth of this chapter, we've initiated and participated in numerous public service projects, including the chapter's signature event, the Debutante Scholarship Ball, which will be held tomorrow when we formally present the debutantes to Lexington Society. Delta Sigma Theta sorority major programs are based upon the organization's five-point programmatic thrust of economic development, educational development, international awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement. Some of the national sorority programs initiatives include the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy, an educational program for girls 11 to 14 that provide enrichment opportunities in the area of math, science, computer education, and nontraditional careers. Lexington currently has 15 young ladies enrolled in our local Delta Academy. A sisterhood of more than 200,000 predominantly black college-educated women, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority currently has over 900 chapters located in the United States, England, Japan, Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Bahamas, and the Republic of Korea. The members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority represent a unique segment of the nation's demographic profile. Delta women are movers and shakers. They hold political office, own businesses, are influential in fields ranging from law, education, to entertainment. A recent survey of the members showed that 90% of all Deltas are registered to vote, are well-educated, earn competitive incomes, and maintain positions and influence and respect within their greater communities. Some of the organization's most distinguished members include Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman member of the U.S. Congress, Barbara Jordan, who was the first African American to serve in the U.S. Congress from the South since the Reconstruction, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Mary McLeod Bethune, who was a national advisor to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, performers Lena Horne, the Queen of Soul herself Aretha Franklin, Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett, Cicely Tyson, and the list goes on and on. Locally, some of our most accomplished members include Dr. Carrie Brown, who no longer lives here, but was certainly an influential member of the community, but also serves as the president of the American Dental Education Association currently. Diane Woods, who is the former superintendent of Campbellsville County Independent Schools. Miss Tava Clay, who is here tonight, who is a long-term, long-time guidance counselor at Paul Orange Stumbar. My own mother, Hallie Evans, who's also here, who's a former president of the Kentucky Education Association. Tassa Wigington, who is the mother of a former councilmember Jacques Wickington. We have Dorothy Offit, who is also here with us tonight, and a University of Kentucky Hall of Famer inductee for the College of Social Work due to her contributions to the profession. So on behalf of Lexington, Kentucky Alumni Chapter, we thank Mayor Gray and the Council for this wonderful recognition. I would ask our president of the chapter, Sara Vicki Crump, to join me and accept this award. All right. I'm going to read this proclamation. It says this, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, in celebration of the Lexington, Kentucky, Alumni Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated and its 84-year commitment to public service, social action, and enriching the development of young women in our community as demonstrated by the 50-year history of the Debutant Scholarship Program, to hereby declare April 7, 2016 as Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated Lexington Alumni Chapter Day in Lexington. Now we need to ask all of our honored guests, ladies, please come on up for pictures. Thank you. Yes, sir. I can see everyone. Here we go. I'm going to take about three or four pictures. And then I'm going to get one of this. I'll get about three. Three. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you all for joining us. Thanks again. Thank you, Council Member Evans. All right.

Item 14, a resolution authorizing the mayor. Got a motion on number 14. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. Number 14 is an item that I've spoken to before when we had it in work session, and I think even when we docketed it. I've been asked tonight by the administration to remove this, and I think I don't know for how long. It would be until the end of the project on Old Mount Tamer, it strikes me. What we're going to do is we're going to meet with the representatives from the folks that are working on a project as well so that we can coordinate everything. What we need to make sure is that we are not going to give this right away away and then need to purchase it right back for construction. I agree. So we're going to set up a meeting with Dick Murphy and those who he represents so that we can coordinate this very quickly so that we don't hold up their project and that we do not compromise the Burke Furniture Post. So if we were to pull, I think tabling is different than pulling. And that's really what we're doing. We're just going to table it until we can make sure we coordinate this as best we can. Well, if I'm going to ask my colleagues to table this, I would like to give them a time frame. Would two months be enough? Would three months be enough? I hope it will be much quicker than that. So let's say 60 days. That's perfect. And we will strive to get it much quicker than that. I think it's incumbent to hear from the representation, too, please. Mr. Paulson was just telling me about this. We agreed to meet with him. It's holding up another transaction involving an adjoining piece of property. So, obviously, I'd hope it could be worked out in two weeks. So, hopefully, we'll have the liberty to bring it back quicker if we can work it out more quickly. I think all would be pleased by that. I just want to make sure we have time so that all parties are well served, including yours, sir. Okay. Thank you. So then I would make a motion to remove this, let's say, for 30 days. All right. All right. Motion by Council Member Farmer to remove for 30 days, seconded by Council Member Henson. 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 all. Thank you, Mayor. Yes, sir. Thank you. Madam Clerk, please continue. Yes, sir.

We had a first reading on number two, and I'll ask for a motion to approve the first reading, and then I'll ask for Council Member Lamb to give us a motion to suspend the rules in a second reading.

I make a motion to suspend the rules on resolution number two that was given an amended first reading. Second. All right. We've got a motion and we've got a second.

I was talking to another case. I apologize. No, no, no, no problem. I'm just curious. 25% increase. This is for, I believe this is for out at the airport. That is the structure that we're doing with hazardous device unit. It came in through a grant that we have, so we're using the rest of the grant and making those structures out there. Well, my question was, it's a 25% increase. What made the increase go up? I mean, what happened? It was, I believe, and I'll have to check to make sure, but I asked Clayton this from the last time we were here, but I'll check to make sure, but my belief is that we had that much into the other part of the grant and was using that because we had that much for the structure. So we used it or loosed it kind of scenario. But I will check back and get back with you on it. All right, thank you. Sorry about that. No problem. All right, any further discussion on the motion?

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Are there any motions for, are there any walk-on motions? All right. Motions to suspend the rules for second readings. I believe, Council Member Henson, you got one? Council Member Hensley? I just had a question. I don't know if that would be in order at this point or not. On number 64. That would be Edward. Actually, just a comment, not even a question. I'm for parks. I'm for investing in this, and I don't want to support this tonight. But I think we have some business with the recreational Zota that needs to be addressed. since we're in the business of tree canopy walk initiatives in our parks. And so I wanted to bring that to everybody's attention that we've got a grant on the applications coming forward to accept funding for a tree canopy tour in our own park. So that's all I had to say on that. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. I move to spin the rules and give second reading to number 34, and this is our usual conditional offers for employment. Second. Motion by Council Member Henson on number 34. Second by Vice Mayor Kaye. 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. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor.

If not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Council Member Akers. Thank you, Mayor. I guess I would like to follow up on Council Member Hensley's question. I thought we discussed this on Tuesday, but maybe I didn't understand it. I know that I received clarification. I did receive an email from Monica Conrad, the director of parks. So I think Jeff might be here. Commissioner Reed. I'm already calling for help. So can you just tell us a little bit more about, I think that I didn't understand it either until I received Monica's email, what this A Canopy Walk is exactly? And I wish I could answer that question. It has a deck, and at the end of the deck, it has an area for people to stand and be instructed or lectured on certain pieces of certain features of Rape and Run. And this is one small piece of what will be a fairly extensive project throughout Raven Run. It's supposed to be an educational facility. I wish I could explain better. But it's not a deck like on my patio out the back door. It's an elevated deck in the trees. Yes. Right. Yes. Yes. High up. And so how would patrons get to the top of the deck? Climb ladders? No, I'm sure not. No. Okay. I serve on the Raven Run Board, and we've discussed this at the board meetings. It actually, it also has, if you go to, if you've been to Raven Run, which I know, Councilmember, you have, there's an area at the visitor center that goes out into the trees where it goes down. this would actually go out and and part of it would allow for handicap access onto this i don't know it's a platform so that you're up in the trees but you're it's not it's a canopy so that you have the trees over you but it's not necessarily what we think of when we're talking about what council member hensley was okay and i'm probably doing a horrible job of explaining it. But it is a multi-person accessible ability to be in the treetops, but it's not a recreational type tree canopy tour. That makes sense, which it probably doesn't. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Councilor Akers. It looks like that's all the request for suspension, so Madam Clerk, Whenever you're ready, you can give us second readings.

Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next is for information only. And next is announcements. The floor is available for Councilmembers for announcements, and then we have four police disciplinary items and one fire disciplinary item. So the floor is available for Councilmembers. Councilmember Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to echo your statement about Mr. Beard earlier. I got to know him when he was on the dark side over the administration. We got to be real good friends. And then he got to know me well when I went over on the dark side, and we got to continue our friendship, and then I got to serve with him, and he will be missed. I enjoy working with him. I do have a motion I'd like to move to place in the General Government Social Service Committee a presentation by Bluegrass Area Development District reporting how they used the workforce investment funds in our community and also their plan to pay the $900,000 fine. I'd like them to do a presentation on that in that committee. I've already talked to the chair and she had no problem with that. All right, there's a motion. Is there a second? I put it in there. We've got a motion by Council Member Loney, second by Council Member Hensley. We've got to do that. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, if not, then we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor. First, I wanted to commend Councilmember Evans for her comments at Tuesday's Lexington Minority and Women Contractor Training Program graduation ceremony. We are so proud of these graduates and the progress that they help us achieve in our city. And Councilmember Evans did a great job in her speech to the graduates, which was really cool. And as the mayor mentioned earlier at the beginning of the meeting, we lost a great person this week, my predecessor, Julian Beard. And, you know, I worked with him for about 10 years when he was economic development director as well as when he was council. And he did serve our city well, and I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with him and know him. And I know we will miss him, and our thoughts and prayers will go out with his family and to all who will be with him this weekend at his funeral. And then lastly, in August of last year, this council, I made a motion that we table the ordinance regarding the recreational Zoda on August 27, 2015. We just tabled it pretty much indefinitely. And so I've spoken with Council Member Mazzotti, who is the chair of the Public Planning and Public Safety Committee, and I also have spoken with Russ Hensley. And I would like to make a motion tonight to untable an ordinance amending Articles 1, 8, 11, and 23A of the Zoning Ordinance to address recreational and tourism, land uses, and all zones. Recreational Commission Recreation Zota Work Group. It's Zota 2014-4. I would like to remove it from the table and place it into Planning and Public Safety Committee without a designated time for it to be heard, and I so move. Second. Motion by Council Member Lamb, seconded by Vice Mayor Kaye. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, if not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. No. Motion carries. All right, and that's all. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Council Member Hensley. Thank you, Mayor. Last night I spent some time with the citizens at Wellesley Heights talking to the Bluegrass Sports Commission about the sports complex out there, and that's going to be an interesting conversation, I think, to have with those people as we move forward, and they need to be heard. And I think there's some other communities they're working with to include in that conversation. So I look forward to some further dialogue with them on that project. And then this morning at the Lexington Forum, we were able to hear some more updates from our PVA, David O'Neill, on the property tax adjustments on the agricultural lands that are being reviewed and how they're doing that. The state, apparently, that legislation won't make it through this spring session and probably in the fall, if any movement at all on it at this point. so we left the west side of lacington at nine o'clock last night was back on it at 7 a.m this morning so it's been a long day so thank you thank you councilman hensley councilman evans thank you mayor i'll just remind everyone and invite everyone to the reforest project that's going on saturday april the 9th even though it's going to be a little chilly i haven't heard any word that it's been canceled, but that will be at 1960 Bryan Station Road, and we're going to help reforest that area. Everyone is welcome. And then also again to thank you, Mayor, for the declaration for Delta Sigma Theta Day. I will say that I'm a legacy in that organization. My mother and my sister are Deltas as well. Those women are my role models. I am who I am because of the women in that organization so if you don't like me you can blame them but it is something very near and dear to me and even to my collegiate chapter that I still have some friends I haven't seen forever and it is truly a sisterhood so I thank you for that recognition on behalf of all adultos in the world because we're everywhere and we're not stopping We're coming. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Evans. All right, looks like that's all Council Members who have signed on to speak. That allows us to move to the disciplinary actions, disciplinary items, and first, Commander Kurtzinger for police. We'll take these one at a time and vote on them one at a time.

Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Chief. All right. Next on our agenda, public comments. I have three citizens who have signed up for public comment, beginning with Gerard Gearhard, Mr. Gearhard. And you all know the protocols, right? I do not know the protocol. The protocol is you have three minutes. If you wish to have more than three minutes, someone may yield time to you if they are here with you. And if not, if you get beyond the three minutes, and you need more time, then I'll ask a council member for a motion to give more time. I don't think I'll need that. Well, all right, sir. All right. For a number of years, I've been involved in alleging that there were problems on the highways with respect to failure to mark curves, to provide advanced warning of curves. Recently, I issued a letter, actually dated March 9th of this year, to the director of traffic engineering. A response to my letter might have been issued, but I haven't seen it. If it has been issued, I just think that given the text of my letter, that I should receive a formal response from the Director of the Division of Traffic Engineering or some other appropriate official. I've submitted copies of the letter. I can provide, for example, at a work session, a detailed description of what I've been talking about over the years and in particular in relation to the two locations that are addressed in this letter. One location is on Hayes Boulevard and the other location is on Appian Way. All right. Mr. Gearhart, thank you very much. Commissioner of Public Works, which includes traffic engineering, and the former director of traffic engineering is here tonight, and so I would suggest that maybe you all can get together and talk about this after the meeting is over. It'll be fine. All right. Thank you. This is Commissioner Dowl Hoskins-Squire. She's sitting diagonally behind you. All right, sir. All right. Mr. Bernard McCarthy. Okay. Your Honor, members of the Council, I wish to say, first of all, regardless of whether or not the university continues to play its basketball games in Rupp Arena, you absolutely should not let them rip out any more of our public streets. We can't afford to lose any more capacity. We need to be adding streets, not giving them up. as for if they get mad at you for not handing over more streets to them and decide they want to boycott Reparina and go somewhere else, then do not issue any more bonds or put any more borrowed money into remodeling Reparina. Instead, focus on paying off existing debts on that place and its previous remodels while you can. Don't run up more debts. Don't cause more financial disasters for the future. And, by the way, I got an email today from the acting secretary of transportation telling how broke the state transportation cabinet is. I think you might need to put more local funding into streets and their improvements and try to squeeze more from developers. Because right now the prospect of getting much of anything from the state is pretty slim. Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Amy Clark. Thank you. I want to begin by thanking you for not giving second reading to the Euclid multimodal corridor study. I think it needs more study. We all know about the road that's paved with good intentions. This is really paved with good intentions. It will be a great study and a great road, and a great road for the study. I had asked, if you may remember, when the Euclid Commercial Corridor study came out about October, November, that it be put in committee, and indeed, Council Member Gibbs referred it to committee. It hasn't come up yet. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on this contract for the $350,000 reduced by 10%, $317,000 corridor study, and I shouldn't be the one to vet it and dictate to you or to the contractors how the contours of it should be. But I have real concerns, and most of them come from Exhibit D, which was part of the Legistar record, which you have before you. Number one, is this a state road or a city road? Does that need to be known or decided before the contract details are worked out? Number two, is the street study designing the sewer or the sewer study designing the street? There's language in there about the study determining the siting of the sewer line. I would feel much better to hear from Mr. Martin, who I respect so deeply, that they're really on the same page with these two endeavors, the remedial measures program plan and the streetscape, which comes first, or how do they link together. in particular at a recent neighborhood meeting where he was kind enough to give us his time on a different topic. We asked him about can we bury the utilities. He didn't seem to like the thought of electricity and water in close proximity. The phasing of it is complex. I wonder how we're going to even talk about whether to bury the utilities or not. Next, there was this commercial corridor study. It was said to have nothing to do with planning and land use. So what I want to say is assigning, I just want to remind us all, assigning new or different land uses to property that's along Euclid, be it retail uses, high-density residential uses, these are a statutory function of planning. Accommodating or promoting these future uses, which are as yet undetermined, I would think should be beyond the scope of a multimodal Carter Improvement Study, one that was not in fact asked or authorized by a Planning Commission either. Amy, excuse me. I'll need to ask for it. You need more time. Yes. There's someone. All right. There's a motion to extend by a minute. I believe there's someone present who can give me three minutes. Billy Mowry. Billy Mowry. All right. So three minutes. Thank you. Ms. Smaller. I believe outside the scope of this study, which is explicitly the right of way, would be cutting alleys parallel to Euclid. And these are ideas that came up in the commercial corridor study, the $75,000 demolition within an H-1 overlay, altering the building line or the setback, the front yard of current zoning, delineating parking in a way that's contrary to the zoning or the subdivision regulations, Next question, who sits at the table in this Exhibit D that you have beside you, which is part of the package you're voting on? It names offices or persons for the steering committee and the advisory committee. DDA is involved. UK representation is prominent, naturally. They're important. Why not neighborhood representation as well? Would it be suitable to have an at-large council member? District 7, there was mention that, oh, we'll bring someone in from District 7. It would make me uneasy if one didn't. Finally, there was a Chevy Chase intersection study. I believe it was 2009, may have come out early in 2010. That covered the last block of Euclid and the first block of High as it turns into Tate's Creek. In large part, it was a study that wasn't implemented. It did remove one lane of travel on high south of Euclid for angle parking. It added some short, very short, two short turn lanes and extended a Euclid bike lane. It removed medians, and one of the citizens' neighbors' greatest concerns right from the get-go, what gave birth to this study, was can we have more medians, can we have crossings, Can we have pedestrian enhancements and trees? And the money hasn't been there for them. I would like to see this commercial corridor study go to some public forum. I had months ago suggested planning committee or actually environmental quality and public works, since a road is a public work. please give it your care and attention before you sign off on it. There may be a timing factor. The RFP, the guy was named. I'm sure there are splendid contractors. I have no objection. I don't know them. But these details, it's really big to me, whether it's a state or a city road. And who sites the sewer, for example? So I appreciate your real attentive concern to this, and thank you for not giving it two votes in one night. This really is one that needs a little more direction as it wrote in a study. Thank you. Thank you, Amy. All right, that's all who signed on for public comment tonight, which brings us to a motion to adjourn by Councilmember Stenet, second by Councilmember Scotchfield. Unless there's objection, we're adjourned. Thank you. Thank you.
