## Meeting Overview

The Urban County Council convened on July 5, 2016, at 6:06 PM in the Council Chambers in Lexington, Kentucky, with Mayor Gray presiding over the session. The meeting focused on second readings of legislative items, with the council addressing two main agenda items: ordinances and resolutions, both of which were approved. During the course of the meeting, the council conducted three votes and heard one public comment from a community member.

## Budget and Financial Actions

The meeting addressed three significant financial expenditures through formal resolutions totaling $375,945.84.

**Resolution 0695-16** authorized the purchase of Vapor Wake Dogs for $49,000 from American K9 Detection Services, LLC. These specialized detection dogs are trained to identify explosive materials and provide enhanced security capabilities.

**Resolution 0723-16** approved a contract with Strothman and Co. for $7,700 related to the Sheriff's Settlement for the 2015 Property Tax Year. This resolution addresses settlement obligations from the previous tax year.

**Resolution 0735-16** represented the largest expenditure, authorizing the purchase of tasers for $319,245.84 from Taser International. This substantial investment in law enforcement equipment indicates a significant expansion or upgrade of the department's non-lethal weapon capabilities.

The three resolutions collectively demonstrate the government's commitment to enhancing public safety through both specialized detection capabilities and law enforcement equipment upgrades, while also addressing outstanding financial obligations from prior tax settlements.

## Public Comment

One member of the public addressed the meeting during the public comment period.

**Richard Murphy** spoke on behalf of Burgess Carey regarding a zoning ordinance amendment [timestamp: 03:00]. Mr. Murphy addressed proposed changes to zoning regulations that would affect recreational and tourism land uses. He advocated for the implementation of incentives to encourage property owners to zone their land as AN (Agricultural-Natural). Murphy's comments focused on supporting the ordinance amendment as a beneficial tool for promoting appropriate land use designations in areas suitable for recreational and tourism activities.

The public comment period was brief, with only one speaker addressing the zoning matter before the meeting proceeded to other business items.

## Appointments

The meeting included several appointments to various city boards and commissions.

**Administrative Hearing Board**
• Michael Hurter was reappointed to the Administrative Hearing Board

**Airport Board of Directors**
• Ronnie Bastin was appointed to the Airport Board of Directors

**Board of Architectural Review**
• Sarah Lamere was appointed to the Board of Architectural Review

These appointments represent the city's ongoing efforts to maintain proper staffing of its various advisory boards and commissions that support municipal operations and governance.

## Contested Items

The meeting featured one contested item that resulted in a split vote among council members.

**Pavement Management Plan**

The primary point of contention during the meeting centered on the Pavement Management Plan and concerns about how funds would be distributed. Councilmember Scutchfield raised specific objections regarding the allocation of resources within the plan, though the exact nature of these distribution concerns was not detailed in the available materials.

The disagreement was significant enough to prevent unanimous approval, resulting in a split vote on the measure. The specific vote tally and which other council members supported or opposed the plan alongside Councilmember Scutchfield was not documented in the extracted meeting data.

This split vote indicates there were differing perspectives among council members about the most appropriate approach to pavement management funding and resource allocation within the municipality.

*Note: Specific transcript timestamps were not available in the provided meeting data for this contested item.*

## Ordinances – Second Reading

[timestamp: 02:00]

The council conducted second readings for several ordinances during this portion of the meeting. The ordinances under consideration included proposed changes to zoning regulations and budget amendments.

Key speakers during this agenda item were Farmer and Lamb, who presented the ordinances and facilitated the discussion of the proposed measures.

The ordinances addressed various municipal matters, with zoning modifications and budget adjustments being the primary focus of the second readings. These readings represent the penultimate step in the ordinance approval process, allowing council members and the public to review the final language before a potential vote.

Following the presentations and any discussion, the ordinances were approved during the second reading phase. This approval moves the ordinances forward in the legislative process, bringing them closer to final adoption and implementation.

The second reading process ensures that all proposed ordinances receive adequate review and consideration before becoming municipal law, providing transparency and opportunity for public input on matters affecting the community.

## Resolutions – Second Reading

[timestamp: 05:00]

The council conducted second readings of multiple resolutions during this agenda item. The resolutions included contracts for roof repairs and various purchase agreements, though specific details of each resolution were not provided in the available materials.

Key speakers during this portion of the meeting included council members Henson and Farmer, who participated in the discussion of the resolutions under consideration.

The resolutions presented for second reading covered operational matters including:
• Contracts for roof repair work
• Purchase agreements for municipal needs

Following the second reading process, all resolutions were approved by the council. The specific vote counts and any detailed discussion points were not captured in the available meeting materials.

Second readings represent the final step in the resolution approval process, allowing council members to review and vote on measures that have already undergone initial consideration during first reading at a previous meeting.

Next on our agenda is the invocation, and our invocation this evening will be given by Councilmember Amanda Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. As Councilmember Brown alluded to this morning, last week we lost a legend in the 10th District. Wayne B. Smith was not just a minister to a lot of people, he was my minister. And all of a sudden, I'm feeling very emotional, so I'm nervous now on the side of the aisle. Wayne started Southland Christian 60 years ago this week. And when he did so, he did it on Hillendale Christian Church, which is right on Hillendale Drive in the 10th District. And the first house he knocked on to start the church was actually my grandparents' house. They lived in the corner of Hillendale Court, Hillendale. So my dad worked for him for 20 years as number two. He was a grandfather to me for a long, long time, and really a legend on the south side of town for a number of Christian churches. And so tonight is his visitation, tomorrow is his funeral, and I just thought it would be nice to share one of his prayers tonight, if you don't mind. So join me, if you will. Heavenly Father, we come together happy that Wayne B. Smith has finally gained that for which he has worked for and served and now has received through your grace. And yet we come with a heavy heart for when we love someone, we are never quite ready to let them go. His footprints have been felt and seen in our city, in our community, and in the lives of thousands of Lexingtonians. Thank you for sharing this man with all of us for over 60 years, who was a leader, a servant, and an influencer. Lord, I thank you for his time and for his family and for the legacy he left in our city. It's in your name I pray. Amen. Thank you, Council Member Bledsoe. And I think all of us would say if anybody would appreciate that, Wayne Smith would. All right. Next on our agenda, I'll ask for a motion to approve minutes of the previous meetings, the minutes of the May 10, 19, and 24 zone change hearings, and the minutes of the June 16 council meeting.

Thank you very much. Is there a... the yeoman service motion a second for approval any discussion on the motion hearing none madam clerk please call the roll i'm sorry council member scotchfield okay guys i know everybody wants to get out of here but But when I cut up pieces of pie for my children or for anyone else, I try to make all of those pies as equal as possible. I believe that people pay into our system, and we need to distribute it evenly as much as possible. But I also teach my children that life is not always fair. And things need to work out the way they do. Sometimes we need to help people more in certain situations. On number 45, I had my stuff that I was working on, and I didn't realize we'd ask for a second reading tonight. So I do not have all my data in front of me right now. But what I will tell you is I ask for you all to consider voting no on this. we talk about lane miles and we have people that do not have as many lane miles getting more money we have a 50 or more difference between some council districts money that they get in the paving plan this is just the first year of paving for collector streets we have some districts that get 32 sections paved in the collectors. We have other districts that get paved three sections. I don't think that we are done with coming up with this pavement plan. We all have taxpayers that pay into the system in each one of our districts that help pay for these roads. And I do not think we are doing our taxpayers justice when we have this much of a discrepancy. I know that my district doesn't have as many roads as some of the other districts, and I recognize that. And I don't think my district necessarily needs the percentage that somebody that has more miles. But I do think that this is not perfect, and this is not what is right for the constituents of Lexington. So I ask for you all, I just ask for you all, and I wish I had more data. I was prepared for Thursday. I ask for you to vote now on 45. Thank you. Thank you. Any other? Seeing none, Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Ms. Paletzo? Yes. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. Mr. James Brown? Yes on all, but I recuse on 43. Thank you. Ms. Evans? Yes. Mr. Farmer? Mr. Gibbs? Recuse on 34. Yes on all else. Did you say 34, sir? 34, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Hensley? Yay. Ms. Henson? Yes. Mr. Kay? Yes. Ms. Lamb? I will actually vote all except for number 45 just because of the fact of not allowing the proper time for Councilmember Scotchfield. I will vote no on that. And yes on all the rest. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Massadi? Yes. Ms. Gutfield? Yes, I'm all good. And Mr. Stinnett? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. That vote reflects passage of the motion. Allows us to move on to communications from the mayor. Is there a motion? Second. Motion and a second. Approved mayor's report. Any discussion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Next is communications for the mayor for information only. That would bring us down to announcements. If you would sign in, Council Member Maloney. Thank you. If I could have Jeff Reed come up to the podium, please. I have a question about the information we received today on the audit, and I know there's some council members that are probably going to ask the same thing, but I just want to, it's not a good audit, but I want to commend you for reporting it and getting it in there to be looked at, because to me I think that's how a lot of these audits are formed by the people that knows there's a problem. But if you can give us a little bit of what you plan to do, and I assume some of the council members here may ask to put it in a committee or something, but I would like your answer, what you have found out about it and where we are on that. Okay. I asked for the audit late last year. I had the opportunity of serving as acting director back in between the previous director's term and Monica coming on board to serve in that role. and I had some concerns when Monica came on board. I asked her to take a look, and I thought it was best to ask for this audit. And if any of you have read the audit, you can see that there are some serious problems in that program. There are some serious oversight problems, and there was several things that occurred that obviously shouldn't be happening. The audit was complete. We got the initial findings in late May. We immediately closed that program down. We plan to keep that program closed down permanently. We think there's a better way to do concession business than parks people doing that service, contracting with other folks and things like that. We've already started doing it. We're dealing with the issues surrounding this. I'll give you updates as we go. I think the biggest thing that we've done, obviously, is cease this operation and look to do it a different way. What we have to find out here not only is what was the difficulty in this program, but we're going to be looking at all our other programs for compliance with standard management practices and procedures. We've had a number of audits on our larger programs over the past two or three years, had excellent results. We've had some shortcomings that we've had to address. Nothing as major as this. But we got down kind of in a systematic way into the smaller operations and came upon this, and we'll fix it. I very much appreciate the parks employees who brought some of these matters to our attention. I don't think this is any kind of indictment or blight on the department. In fact, I think it speaks very, very highly of the people who work there who are concerned about their operation, who came to me. I was in more of a role where I could interact daily, and I think as a result will make a very, very good operation even better. and we'll be routinely talking to you about what we're doing. I want to thank you because I had a similar when I was the commissioner of public work because it's not fun to turn in your own staff, and I had to do that when we did the recycling. And I thank the employees that gave me the same information, and I appreciate you being on top of this. So it's just not a fun thing, but it is a good that we're finding out what our mistakes are and we can fix it. And I assume there's a couple of council members that probably want to put this in a committee, and I'll let them speak on behalf of this. But I do want to commend you and your staff for what you did. It's not fun, but it is something that we have to do sometime. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Stinnett. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Mr. Reed, I want to make sure the public understands what you're talking about. So can you, in a nutshell, so everyone watching doesn't think this is rampant across parks or other things? No, it's not across parks. Can you explain? It was in a very compartmentalized operation, for lack of a better term, our concession operation. and I need to be careful exactly how I phrase things here, but it involved how money was being accounted for, how funds were being tracked that were being taken in at our various events. This was a small operation. It had shrunk to roughly $40,000 annually that it was taken in as a whole, But the audit dealt with how money was being collected, how it was being processed into the city, and issues involving then what review and checks were going on and occurring with that process. And we were lacking in both. Thank you. I just want to make sure the public understands this is not all of parks. Not at all. isolated and i appreciate your leadership and taking and monica as well for for jumping in there and it's a very difficult thing to do and it's very difficult when you like people and you feel like people were doing a good job but unfortunately this happens this happened 10 years ago in the mayor's office we had a very similar thing happen uh and it's very unfortunate so uh thank you for doing your job thank you council member henson thank you vice mayor i actually um wanted to put this item into committee so that people around this horseshoe will be given a follow-up when we return from break. My question would be, though, are there other parts of government that have a similar setup where they're taking in cash? There may be. Parks is probably the biggest collector of cash. And let me say our larger operations have been audited. They have been looked at. There's not these kind of difficulties. There might be some accounting procedures, but nothing has ever come up within my three or four years that has anywhere close to this kind of issues involved with it. And we're going to go back. We're going to double check. We're We're going to make sure that the audit findings before and recommendations have been fully implemented. And we're going to take a look at even some of our smaller operations, some of the smaller programs that we have to make sure they're being run efficiently. The internal auditor has been very good to work with. We've been working with them the past two or three years, made some real improvements in our overall operation. But when I started this, I didn't expect the extent of this difficulty. I was trying to think if I put this item into committee, just this one, or is there a certain process that should be placed in committee for us to receive a review of? I'm happy to update you. There's not much else to talk about on this program anymore because it doesn't exist any longer. We can talk about what we're putting in its place. We can talk about where we're auditing in other places, but that's certainly no indictment of any other program or to say we're particularly concerned about any other program or not. It's just simply what we have had audited in the past and what we haven't had audited in the past. And we can give you an update as to compliance with earlier audits and what we're looking at going forward. But again, we have absolutely no reason to believe there's any significant difficulties in any of our other operations and in our larger operations. And they are frequently scrutinized and scrutinized intensely. And I believe that. I believe our parks and rec. I work closely with the staff there. They do an excellent job. And for the most part, I think all across government, the employees, staff, administration, council members understand this is not our money. We manage the taxpayers' dollars, but it is not our money. So I'll go ahead and put it in committee. so then we will have a record of some type of follow-up. That'd be fine. I'm happy to do it. So I'll move to place a follow-up of the internal audit for Parks and Recreation's catering of food service function into the General Gov and Social Services Committee. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion of the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, Jeff. Council Member Evans. Thank you, Vice Mayor. This is really more just a comment or a request. It actually falls under Commissioner Bastin, but I don't know if you really need to come up. It was a comment made earlier talking about the collective bargaining with police officers, and it went well, and that was great. But there was a comment about part of the negotiation was including officers being informed when video would be released and they would have an opportunity to review it. I would just ask, because it's my understanding that when there are complaints against officers, the citizens do not actually get to see or read an actual complaint that the officer submits. And I hope you can appreciate that kind of discrepancy if we're going to allow officers to view video of what they do. I kind of think it's just fair and right that a citizen would be able to actually see a response and not get a summary of what a police officer said in this process, and understanding it's a very sensitive process. But I would just hope that perhaps you pass it along to Chief Bastard. Sorry, I still call you Chief Bastard. Farnard. to perhaps consider just reviewing that aspect, because it does create an extra level of transparency and creates, I think, more trust. Whether that person's completely wrong, but still I think working with licensing boards and having file complaints on professionals, at least they got to see what that individual, that doctor, that private investigator or that counselor had to say, and they got to see it in their own writing. So there's some kind of comfort and acknowledgement and respect in that, I think. So that's your wheelhouse, and I'll leave you to it, but that was something that had been kind of burning a hole in my brain after that had come to light. So I just wanted to share and ask that you relay that request to the chief. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I've been part of many council meetings. I'm pleased to be part of them. I've never had the honor or the pleasure to be at a council meeting where we had someone here to sign our work while we were doing it. And I just, Mr. Edwards, how did this come about? I think it's a very interesting development on behalf of the council. Could you just say a few words? Because we got a memo from you about it, and I'm just interested especially since they're here. This came about through the citizens with disability Commission. Okay. They asked us to do more closed captioning Which we have started doing where we started in February doing the council meetings now in this fiscal year We're doing all televised meetings and also that we tried doing the sign language interpreting I think it's great. Just for the council meetings. All right. Let me borrow that microphone for a moment. We have to break these people in. I have no idea. Welcome to council. Just a few words that you'll be hearing, and I want to see them signed. Asphalt. Pothole. vacuum leaf collection, barking dog, and my current favorite, fireworks. Welcome to Council. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. Thank you. fast and hard to keep up with. So we're going to be looking at that and I think when we have open debate and there's someone at the podium with public comment or things like that, it's fine. But I think we will save their hands and not expect them to keep up with Martha. So I just wanted to throw that in there. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Hensley. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I think our Martha has a future career at Faisic Tipton or Keeneland if you want to retire as an auctioneer. I wanted to make a comment on the appointment of Ronnie Bastin to the airport board. One of the things that I had spoke with the mayor previous to being on city council was bringing actual pilots who are in the community that use the airport to the airport board to change the composition of that. And since the last nine months, there's been three actual general aviation pilots appointed to that body. And I welcome Ronnie coming in. It would be a great asset. And following the comments about Wayne Smith, I did not know him personally, but he seems like a great man. and Sunday in church, you know, his sermon, Play Hurt, it really struck home. So that's all I can say about that. Thank you. Thank you. I see nobody else signed on to speak. That allows us to go to public comments. Nobody else has signed in. That allows us to motion for adjourn. Motion to second. Without objection, we stand adjourned. Thank you. I'm just in so much pain, baby, because you just won't come back to me. Will you? Just come back to me. Yes, baby, my heart is lonely. My heart hurts, baby. I feel pain, too. Baby, baby I don't know what I'm gonna do Cause I know I've come to the end of the road Still I can't let you go I don't be out of this baby baby Baby, baby Although we come to the end of the road Still I can't let you go It's a night you've been on to me I belong to you We'll go to the end of the road Till I can't let go It's a night you I belong to you I belong to you The same old stew Played by the rules but didn't win. There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose. He'd try forgetting, but he knows that it's no use. He's got a fool-hearted memory. It won't let him see that she walked out the door. He's got a full hearted memory. He sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more. She was his girl, his only world. That string of pearls that slipped away A thousand times, a thousand times He doesn't mind what they say He fills a jukebox then plays the same old song He fills his glass and then he turns her memory on But it's a fool-hearted memory It won't let him see That she walked out the door He's got a fool-hearted memory He sits patiently Thank you. guitar solo Let me tell you, you are no exception to rule.
