And I'll open the floor to the council for any announcements. Council Member Massardi. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just wanted to recognize Mr. Mundy. Today is, I guess, Mr. Garrett Mundy. Why don't you come up to the podium, Mr. Mundy? You did this. This is Mr. Mundy's last day with us at LFUCG, but it is here in the council chambers. He is going to the Senior Citizen Center, and he is going to take advantage of that senior living there and that wonderful facility. But we just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the council and everyone here in the government for 19 years of service, I believe. 20. 20. Wow. Who's counting? Please, sir, have a few words. I'm really going to miss it. It's a big challenge for me. I've been riding the council chamber for a long time, but I think it's a good chance for me. so I just took advantage of it get out around the old people and have some time with them and try to give them the best I can give them well we're certainly going to miss you and you're going to be very hard to replace thank you for your service you'll see some of them up here that's right that's right thank you council member Lamb wanted to add a comment I did, I did. I've worked with Mundy for those 20 years, and I tell you, Mr. Mundy, I said I've worked with you for those 20 years, and I tell you what, there are very few people that you can say that you are always constant, you are always kind, you are always with a smile on your face, and inevitably you know that if somebody's having a bad day, you're always just that constant kindness. And I just want you to know that you will carry that out to the senior center, and we are going to be very fortunate to have you out there. You're awesome. You know, I've always learned, you know, you want to treat people the same way you want to be treated yourself, you know. Amen. That was a plus right there for me. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. I also want to echo Mr. Mundy. The good news is I'm a senior now, so I'll be coming to see you about it. And also, a lot of people don't know this, but today is the mayor's birthday, and I asked somebody how old he was, and I couldn't believe it, but somebody said he was 73, which I thought he looked amazing for 73 years old. So if you see the mayor, wish him a happy birthday and happy 73. Thank you, I think. Councilmember Bledsoe. Thank you, Vice Mayor. As some of you may remember from our budget discussions, and we put $150,000 to the council during the link process for the Economic Development and Workforce Development Grant. And I have been working, I, meaning myself, and Jamie, have been working with the Chief Development Officer in the Finance Department, and we actually are ready to present those guidelines to you. So I'd like to make a motion to refer to the Budget and Finance Committee and Economic Development Committee the proposed grant guidelines, policy, and process for the Economic Development Grant. Second. Motion and a second. Refer to that issue to the Budget and Finance Committee. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Vice Mayor. And I was going to say something, but you got there first. Congratulations. But Mr. Mundy, welcome to the 5th District, sir. We look forward to having you there every day. you give us all a reason to come visit and we look forward to seeing you there whether real or imagined you have always given at least to me a sense of security in this chamber and i've always appreciated it and i know that we take different opportunity about security now than we ever have before but your welcoming face and demeanor and your understanding of the nature of people is something that has aided us here and will aid everyone at the center. So congratulations on moving out there. You're welcome, sir. Then I just want to step back for a minute. And in our ad vorum tax discussion the other day about streetlights, in which I made a motion, and we had, I think, a healthy policy discussion among ourselves. And there were some great points made. And Vice Mayor, I'll have to give you credit. That's hard for me to do. So your comments were, I thought, for the stage of that issue and how we fund streetlights and how we pay for them in one way and we tax them in another, I thought helped settle some things that had not come to the fore in any previous discussion. So I appreciated your adding to the discussion on Tuesday. Now, as for me, and when it comes to our meeting here, our official meeting that calls for invocation, I believe that we are a body of words, and I believe that silence does not befit us. And I know that there is always more than one council member who is at the ready to give an official invocation to this. And I appreciate when others from all parts of the community, from all different religions, come and are part of our opening. But I just think that we have the opportunity to use words every day and to be silent does not serve the council. So I know that there's always more than one council member who is ready to step forward. I think we just need to remember that going forward. And then circling back to security and not wanting to make a motion or really to call untoward attention, but we're working towards having a better and perhaps a different city hall and one that would be built more around security than this one ever has been or ever will be. And I think that the addition of our stanchions and our black velvet rope here, to me, pushes us further from the people we serve rather than inviting them in. I had wondered if we were going to have any sort of presentation tonight that would bring us the opportunity to take pictures with folks. And I wondered would the folks stand out there and we would be back here or what. And others may want to make a motion. And I would just say we had instructed the administration to place these here for an added sense of security. I don't actually personally believe that they bring security. I think that they add an element that is not positive for the work that we do in this room. If someone is intent on doing harm to one of us, this velvet rope will not stop that. I think it is important for us to know that in this room there are always those who are willing and able to protect us and that this velvet rope does not do so. And I would be just as pleased as anyone else for that not to be here next Tuesday. And if others would like to make motion to it, that's fine. This is something we talked about and something that we voted on or made a decision about, let's say. But I think it's something that sets a standard that I don't want to live up to currently because I enjoy knocking on doors, I enjoy talking to people, and I enjoy going to all the meetings in the neighborhoods and down here. this is our hall, and we need to treat it as such. And I think to have the people as one with us is part of that. And I would prefer for us to go back to a non-stanchioned, non-roped event. And that's all I have to say about that. Thank you. Thank you. Before I recognize Council Member Henson, just a procedural note. I did there's been some question raised about whether we could or should take down the velvet ropes and I've been advised that we would have to do that with a formal vote since we voted to put them up before we can take them down and change our minds we have to do it publicly that could be a motion tonight I believe well so I believe that was a decision that was made in a meeting of the Committee of the Whole, and that's an open meeting and a formal meeting. There are notes for that meeting. I'll move for a motion. I'm not a party in any of this, but I don't like them. I just want to make a clarification. I thought they were going to temporarily try this without no votes, and it sounds like to me nobody likes it. I didn't think we voted on anything. I thought we were going to put these up and say, well, let's try it. Well, I think the answer was told today. A lot of people don't like it, but I don't remember voting on anything. I just said these were the recommendations. Let's try it. And I didn't know we voted on anything. Thank you. But I believe someone has made a motion, and I believe there was a second to the motion. Is there any further discussion of the motion? Yes. Council Member Evans. I'll try to refrain from giving commentary. Okay, so the motion is to remove the ropes. We're not talking about anything else security-wise. It's just to remove them. That's the motion as I understand it. Okay. Did we spend additional money for these ropes, or were these in use someplace else? Is there anybody who knows the answer to the question of whether we bought new material? Ridiculous having to ask that question. Are these being used elsewhere? They were purchased for this purpose. They're new. Right. See? We had no other stanchions in the city. I looked. We tried to find some, but we didn't have that. council member evans additional comment yeah i guess i i guess i do have comment just on on the issue oh go ahead we can use them for other things i mean there's there's always uses for devices like this and that and that's fine um i guess my comment would be i i'm i'm fine either way but this was part of the discussion that we had that this this is a government building and for those that were concerned about security if you're going to be concerned about one whatever you do to keep out one you keep out everyone else and that was kind of the conversation that i don't think was had i mean we really do have to think through what we really want and what the issues are i've worked in the in the capitol in frankfurt where you can come in and you can carry a gun. So the fact that we had this discussion was a little disturbing and now that people want to go back because they don't like what this is, but this is a reasonable solution to what I think the concern was. The concern was. So I'm wondering I guess, is no one now concerned? are those concerns about security now gone? Because I don't want to have this conversation again because I don't know if there really is any other solution but something like this just because of the setup that we have. So I don't want to have this conversation again if we decide to move those ropes. I don't think they're needed. I'm fine with the way that it was. But I think this was a very reasonable solution to what the concern was to those who voiced it. So that's my two cents. Thank you. Anybody else wish? Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just wanted to say I appreciated Council Member Farmer's comments, and I appreciate the motion. I was not present at the Committee of the Whole where this discussion was had, so therefore I didn't vote on anything, and I never saw any minutes or a summary or anything from that meeting. So when I saw them populate, I was clearly surprised. Now, I do not think in my 25 years sitting in this council chamber at these meetings that there's been two times that I've been concerned. But I think that this really gives the impression to the public that we don't want them near us, and I just don't agree with that. So I appreciate the motion, and I fully support it. and I think that we have methods of security in a number of other fashions and I feel very confident that those are enough and adequate and thank you. Thank you. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I'm sure you all know that I was the one who put this on the agenda for Council of the Hold for discussion. Based upon that, I agree that these are nothing but ornamental. They would do nothing but maybe keep someone from approaching the dais that shouldn't. However, as far as security, we have no perimeter security. We have no one coming through the downstairs through our metal detector. So if someone was to come up to approach the chambers and they were a viable threat, these are going to do nothing to discourage that. I still believe we should look at that for everyone in this building, not just the council chambers, but everyone that works in this building, as far as utilizing the devices we have that are already in existence in the first floor, because we live in different times now. Unfortunately, we didn't have to think about this maybe five years ago, but now we do. They do this at sporting events. They do this at public events. And it's unfortunately a way of life now. So I would hope that we would still continue this discussion. The stanchions up here are one way of maybe trying to somewhat give a sense of security. I don't think that they do what they are supposed to do, but I do believe that in order to have real security, we need to look at securing the perimeter of the building in the first floor before someone would come up to any floors throughout the government. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. Does anybody else wish to speak to the motion? Seeing none, I'll call the vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Thank you. Council Member Hanson. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Kind of reminds me of a wall. I just want to also echo the appreciation for Mr. Mundy's work in the chamber and taking such good care of us. Well, for the time I've been here, not for your 20 years, but it is very much appreciated. And if you decide you want to change jobs again, there's a lot of government buildings in the 11th District. So just keep that in mind if you, you know, little changing of jobs, you know, keeps the mind active and all that. But I'm sure you'll enjoy the seniors too. But you're much, much appreciated. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Scotchfield. Thank you. Council Member Massadi and I were approached with a House bill that's gone through that we have to make some changes to our own stuff. So I am going to make a motion to place House Bill 422 into public safety and planning. And Council Member Massadi also knows about this. And they're going to have it heard on October 11th. So moved. Second. Motion in a second. Discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Council Member Stinnett. Thank you, Vice Mayor, and I appreciate the conversation earlier. It's unfortunate that we had to have that in public when the original security conversation, just to refresh my colleague's memory, was in a closed session, actually. And not everybody was there, and I understand that. But I want to give thanks to Dean Markham. You worked hard to come up with some security options for this council. We listened to those options. We went with the first recommendation, so thank you. This wasn't for naught. It was a good exercise, but I think I appreciate what you tried to do and respond to what we asked you to do, so thank you. Second, I want to thank our police chief. I know you're here in the room, and you get a lot of accolades, but you also get a lot of slack from a lot of people in the community during this time we live in. And it's difficult to describe the time we live in because we've not seen anything like it, the way we look at our police officers and look at the men and women who try to protect us every day. And I know you're short staffed. We need more people. But I just want to thank you and the men and women of that department. I had an opportunity to visit some roll calls over break and just tell people thank you because these young men and women have not seen some of the things we've all seen over the time, but they're doing their job. And we are protected, and we have a good community. We're doing the outreach into our neighborhoods, into our faith-based communities that we need to do. We are doing the right things in Lexington. I pray every day that we don't bring those other troubles here. And that's what we would have to do because we don't have those troubles here. We have people working on it. We have people communicating. I know, Chief, you got slack over an event you attended while we were on break that no council members were invited except for two. Nobody was invited, but yet he took all the slack for us. And I appreciate that. I just want to let you know we got your back. We got our officers back. Chief, when they mess up, we're still going to love them. When they do great, we're going to praise them. And everywhere in between, we're going to be here because this is what our community does. So I just want to thank our public safety folks for all the work you do. I enjoyed my time with you. Thank you. Thank you. Any other council members for announcements? If not, if I can, I'll add my own. And I want to follow up with council members. I often get asked about whether I'm concerned about Lexington. Of course I am. Everybody is. And we never know what can happen. But what I say to the public, and I want to say it tonight to everybody who's here, the chief and all the chiefs who have preceded you, what I say is we've had a long run of really good leadership within public safety at the chief level, at the commissioner level, and that's reflected in the integrity of the force that we have. They understand what their job is. They know they're there to protect the community and to work with the community to get that done. And so there is no guarantee, but what I say is we are in so much better shape than most other communities in this country, and it's because we've had that kind of leadership. So I add my thanks. No other announcements? That will bring us to public comment. Nobody signed up for public comment. We have disciplinary. I'm sorry. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just kind of wanted to piggyback on what Council Member Kevin Stennett and what Vice Mayor was saying about the chief and public safety in general and the police force and what they do for Lexington. and how the proactive steps that they are taking has kept Lexington from being one of those cities that we see on the news every, seems like every other day. I was at the public meeting, and I guess my interpretation of it is I guess I didn't see the chief as being attacked or taking slack. I think it was some questions about what we can do to build off of what we're doing right and do it better and add more transparency to the good job that the police force is currently doing. So I guess I just wanted to add that I appreciate the service that our police force is doing, the risk that they're taking every day. And I think we can work to, I think you're doing a good job, But I think we can always improve and work to do that and that, you know, we're all here to help you do that. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Evans. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Since we're on this topic, I would clarify that the town hall that did occur, I didn't realize it was an invitation. I actually saw it on Facebook and decided to attend. And so I don't want that impression to be out there that it was by invitation only, because it certainly wasn't. I would like to, I guess, kind of echo Council Member Brown that we have not had an incident. Well, we have, but we are not what could be. And we do have a police force that is very amenable to neighborhoods. I mean, I've had, anytime I've needed an officer to come to speak about safety issues that neighborhoods have had, they are very more than happy to come. And I know plenty of police officers, and I like them. And I think the goal is to create a better relationship. I think it's just from national news. We realize some more than others that there are deep-seated issues that some people have, and it is about building better relationships. I think we do have a good relationship generally with the community and our police force, but we can always do better. And I think and hope that we're trying, all of us are trying to do better. And we are in a new age of government where transparency is being demanded. And I think we all have to adjust to that and understand where it's coming from and do our best to embrace that while we still maintain a standard and level of whatever confidentiality or within that profession that's needed. But I do hope we can work together to help subside whatever issues, concerns that people feel. Because those thoughts, those concerns are real, and we need to accept them and do what we can to make it better so we don't have those incidences that Council Member Maloney had talked about last Tuesday. because we aren't those cities, and that doesn't have to happen. So I guess I put that on all of us, police department, the chief, us, the mayor, to make sure we continue building those relationships and be more inclusive. And inclusive doesn't just mean a representative from one group or that group. I mean, it truly is a community effort. So I hope we can move towards that so that everyone in the community can feel proud of the police department like all of us do up here. So thank you. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. I want to echo what I heard today from my colleagues and hearing what's concerned. And being on this council for a long time, I've seen good times and I've seen bad times. And I think it's good that we have these meetings and we hear what the community needs and want to hear. And it goes back, we are good, but we can be a lot better. And that's one reason, like when I brought up Tuesday about the schools. It bothers me that we're not in the top ten in schools. We need to get better. And that's what my message is to the school. We've got to get better. my message to the police, we are good, but we can always be better. And I think it's good to have these meetings. I think it's good to hear from the public. I don't think it's an insult. I think it's an education part, and I think that's what we're here to do. And I commend the police. I commend all our public safety people. But Luskington is on the track of being a great city, which the mayor wants to do. But to do that, we're a long way from getting there. And a lot of it has to do with our education. but I think our police is on the right track. Our public safety is on the right track. But we can always get better. And I will look forward to hearing the people's concerns. And I think the police, that's why they have these meetings. We're always going to have something new. But I do want to say we do. I mean what I say. We have a great police department. And I think it's going to be better. But it's like the school. I'm embarrassed for school. I'm publicly going to say it. We're not in the top ten, and we're at Luskinson, Kentucky, and we're not in the top ten. So we've got to get better there. So that's just my opinion. Luskinson's got a long way to go from being great. Thank you. Thank you. I have no one else signed up for announcements. There's no public comment. We do have a couple of disciplinary matters before we adjourn. First off, Battalion Chief Todd Samuelson, Division of Fire, State of Present. For your approval, it's Discipline Against Firefighter Bricks Fitzpatrick. His employee number is 53645. He violated UDG 1.11, which was absent without leave, his first offense.

At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee met with Chief Mark Barnard and has accepted a written reprimand. I have a motion and a second to approve. In discussion, Council Member Massadi.

Officer Jerry Parsons, while acting in an off-duty capacity with his personal business, utilized his personal email to send a message that contained inappropriate content to a subject that he had a business relationship with. Thank you. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? The motion carries.

I believe that brings us down to a motion for adjournment. I'm sorry. of this? I didn't see you signed in, so I'm sorry. Council Member Lamb. Thank you. Thanks. This goes back to the discussion prior to these disciplinary hearings. And again, I've sat in this council chamber for 25 years And I'm familiar with the process. And I know what's public record and I know what's not public record. I was approached by one of my constituents and they had a lot of questions about disciplinary hearing matters in which they were logical. And I understood where they were coming from because they didn't know about the process. They didn't know how things were handled. They didn't know where they ended up, that they were public record. So there's all kinds of different facets to it. You know, people can be saying, oh, my goodness, they're reading the employee's badge number, their name, and the public. And unfortunately, that's one of the things that we take on. Even as my colleagues appear, we take on that responsibility. And with certain jobs, it just comes with the territory. So I think as a result of and having sat here and listened to these tonight and listening to them from a different lens, I think that we do need to think about some other ways of transparency. We have an outstanding police department. We have an outstanding fire department. No digs against anybody. But I do think anybody that knows me that knows that my level of transparency is pretty big. And I think that what has been brought to my attention is that I think there are other opportunities for some more transparency here. And it's not bringing forth anything more than what's already available to the public. It's just there's just a little bit more process that's allowed for the public knowledge. So having said that, and I have spoke, I was invited to that meeting on Sunday night, but I couldn't make it. Or I heard about it and was invited. So I do want to have some more discussions on this. And again, it is no dig at anyone about anything. I sat for 27 and a half years in this government and have always welcomed opportunities to better our process or to look at the way that we can be more transparent and just to educate the public so they know what is going on at all times. Because they have a right to know that. So I just want to make that statement, and I do look forward to having more discussions with this. anytime the public comes and talks to us it's very important that we listen because often times we can learn a lot and I hope that my colleagues will be willing to listen to my concerns and thoughts after we have some more discussions at the proper times but I do think there are things that we can do that will maybe alleviate some concerns in the public's eyes about this disciplinary process and thank you for allowing me to speak. Thank you. Thank you. Now I see nobody else signed up. A motion to adjourn in a second. Without objection, we stand adjourned. I'm sorry. I'm not the one they blame I find it hard my friend When I'm in the dirty With those angry eyes Well I bet you wish you could Cut me down with those angry eyes What a shot you could be If you could shoot at me With those angry eyes you
