This infrastructure improvement represents a substantial investment in the facility's operational capacity. **Vehicle Purchase Authorization** Resolution 1392-16 authorized the purchase of a Toyota Corolla for the Division of Fire and Emergency Services at a cost of $18,195.26. The vehicle will be acquired from Toyota of Louisville, adding to the department's fleet resources for emergency response operations. These two financial actions demonstrate the council's commitment to both infrastructure development and emergency services support, with the combined expenditure representing nearly $78,200 in municipal investments. ## Public Comment During the public comment period, one community member addressed the council regarding infrastructure concerns in downtown. **Bernard McCarthy** spoke about the Jefferson Street Viaduct, urging the council to oppose any proposals to demolish the structure [timestamp: 120:00].

The city officially declared January 19, 2017, as Webelos Cub Scout Pack #93 Day in Lexington. Rick Hubert served as a key speaker during the presentation, representing the scout pack in the recognition ceremony. The agenda item was designated as identifier 0065-17 and served as an informational presentation to honor the local scouting organization. The recognition highlighted the contributions of Pack 93's Webelos scouts to the Lexington community. This ceremonial proclamation provided official city acknowledgment of the pack's activities and service. The presentation concluded without debate or discussion, as it was a straightforward recognition event celebrating the youth organization's presence in the community. ## Amending Budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government [timestamp: 10:00] The council considered Ordinance 1377-16, which would amend certain budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures. The ordinance involved appropriating and re-appropriating funds under Schedule No. 28. Key speakers during the discussion included Farmer and Stinnett, who addressed the budget amendments and their implications for the city's financial operations. The ordinance was designed to adjust existing budget allocations to better align with the current needs and expenditure requirements of various municipal departments and services. This type of budget amendment is typically necessary to ensure that funds are properly allocated where they are most needed during the fiscal year. The council ultimately approved Ordinance 1377-16, allowing the budget amendments to take effect and enabling the re-appropriation of funds as outlined in Schedule No. 28. --- ## Decisions - **0030-17** — passed (14-0): Approval of the Minutes of the December 1 and 6, 2016 Council Meetings - **1377-16** — passed (14-0): Amending certain budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, Schedule No. 28 --- ## Full transcript Music Thank you.

My address is 515 Harry Street. Tonight, I want to ask that you block any proposals to tear down the Jefferson Street Viaduct. I heard this rumor that the Civic Center is wanting to tear it out as part of their expansion plans, and I think this would be a disaster. In our downtown, we need all the traffic handling capacity we can get, and we sure can't afford to lose what we've already got. and while I might not be able to do anything if my bosses cave in and hand it over to you, some of you I can seek revenge against at the ballot box in future elections. Worth keeping in mind. I want to also point out just because we're finally building Newtown Extension does not mean you get to rip out the streets we already have. I mean, traffic has been growing as the city has been growing. And in years of fighting over Newtown Extension, I mean, that has driven my choice of where to put my own house, which nonprofit gets my vacation days and my Saturdays and even an occasional holiday. I would hate to have all that effort be for nothing. so please don't rip out any street capacity we already have alright thank you Bernard that's all who signed on for public comment so that allows me to ask for a motion to adjourn motion by Council Member Massadi second by Vice Mayor Kay unless there's objection we are adjourned Thank you. Thank you.
