The meeting focused primarily on recognizing community contributions, with two informational agenda items presented to acknowledge local volunteers and youth organizations. The council heard recognition presentations for 10th District Council Volunteer Ally Grzywacz and Girl Scout Troop 7433, both serving as informational items rather than requiring formal council action. During the session, the council conducted 2 formal votes on motions and received 3 public comments from community members. The meeting's agenda was relatively brief with 2 total agenda items, both centered on community recognition rather than legislative business or policy matters. ## Attendance The following members were present at the February 9, 2017 meeting: **Present:** • Mayor Gray • J. Brown • Evans • Farmer • Gibbs • Henson • Higgins • Kay • Lamb • Mossotti • Plomin • Scutchfield • Bledsoe • F. Brown **Absent:** • Moloney • Stinnett No members arrived late to the meeting. A total of 14 members were present and 2 members were absent. ## Votes and Decisions The council took action on two items during the February 9, 2017 meeting, with both measures passing unanimously. **Ordinance 0048-17** [timestamp: 04:00] Councilmember Farmer motioned to approve An Ordinance creating Section 21-37(h) of the Code of Ordinances for paid leave for mentoring, with a second from Councilmember Scutchfield. The ordinance passed by roll call vote with 13 ayes and 0 nays. All council members voted in favor: J. Brown, Evans, Farmer, Gibbs, Henson, Higgins, Kay, Lamb, Mossotti, Plomin, Scutchfield, Bledsoe, and F. Brown. **Resolution 0052-17** [timestamp: 10:00] Councilmember Mossotti motioned to approve A Resolution encouraging the Kentucky General Assembly to disapprove Senate Bill (SB) 7, seconded by Councilmember Farmer. The resolution also passed unanimously by roll call vote with 13 ayes and 0 nays. The same 13 council members voted in favor: J. Brown, Evans, Farmer, Gibbs, Henson, Higgins, Kay, Lamb, Mossotti, Plomin, Scutchfield, Bledsoe, and F. Brown. Both votes demonstrated complete council unity, with no opposition or abstentions recorded on either measure. The ordinance establishes new provisions in the municipal code regarding paid leave policies for mentoring activities, while the resolution takes a position on state legislation pending before the Kentucky General Assembly. ## Budget and Financial Actions The meeting addressed two significant financial contracts requiring approval through formal resolutions. **Community Corrections Facility Improvements** The board considered Resolution 0027-17, authorizing a contract with Simpson & Co., Inc. for painting services at the Division of Community Corrections facility. The contract amount totals $238,197, representing a substantial investment in maintaining the correctional facility's infrastructure. **Emergency Vehicle System Upgrades** Resolution 0064-17 was presented for approval of a $79,500 contract with Hastings Air Energy Control, Inc. This contract covers upgrades to Emergency Response Vehicle Exhaust Capture Systems, which are critical safety systems that remove harmful exhaust fumes from emergency vehicle bays and maintenance areas. The combined value of these two contracts amounts to $317,697 in expenditures. Both items represent ongoing operational and infrastructure maintenance needs for county facilities and emergency services operations. ## Public Comment Three residents addressed the council during the public comment period, raising concerns about city projects, development impacts, and state legislation. **Russell Sitter** spoke at [timestamp: 30:00] regarding the bid process for the Jacobson Park Sprayground construction project. Sitter expressed concern that the bidding process may have been conducted improperly and questioned the procedures used for this park improvement project. **Lane Boldman** addressed the council at [timestamp: 35:00] about development along the Versailles Road Corridor. Boldman expressed frustration over the loss of historic buildings in the neighborhood and voiced concerns about the impact that new developments are having on the area's character and residents. **Anita Franklin** spoke at [timestamp: 45:00] in support of a resolution opposing Senate Bill 7. Franklin shared her personal experience with gun violence, describing how she had lost someone close to her due to gun violence. She urged the council to support the resolution as a way to address gun violence concerns in the community. The public comments covered a range of local issues from municipal contracting procedures and neighborhood preservation to state-level legislation affecting public safety. Each speaker brought forward specific concerns affecting either city operations or community welfare. ## Appointments The council took action on several board and commission appointments during the February 9, 2017 meeting. **New Appointments:** • William 'Harry' Clarke was appointed to the Board of Adjustment • James Hodge was appointed to the Homelessness Prevention and Intervention Board • Shayla Johnson was appointed to the Social Services Advisory Board **Reappointments:** • Jennifer Scutchfield was reappointed to both the Raven Run Citizen Advisory Board and the Senior Services Commission These appointments fill vacant positions and continue representation on various municipal boards and commissions that advise the council on specialized policy areas including zoning matters, homelessness services, social services, senior citizen issues, and oversight of the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary. ## Contested Items Two significant issues drew community opposition and extensive discussion during the February 9, 2017 meeting. **Moratorium on Building Permits Along Versailles Road** Community members voiced strong concerns about proposed new developments along Versailles Road and their potential impact on the area's historic character. Residents expressed opposition to building permits that they felt would compromise historic properties and alter the established neighborhood character. The specific nature of the developments and the extent of community opposition highlighted tensions between growth and historic preservation in this corridor. **Senate Bill 7 Opposition Resolution** The council addressed a resolution opposing Senate Bill 7, which concerned concealed weapons regulations. This item generated significant community engagement, with multiple speakers addressing the council about their concerns regarding the legislation. Community members spoke against the bill, citing public safety concerns as their primary objection to the proposed weapons policy changes. A state senator also participated in the discussion, adding a legislative perspective to the local debate. The presence of both community members and state-level representation underscored the importance of this issue to local residents and its broader political implications. The discussion of Senate Bill 7 represented a clear example of local government taking a position on state legislation that residents felt would impact their community's safety and well-being. The resolution process allowed the council to formally express the community's opposition to the state-level policy proposal. Both contested items reflected broader themes of community preservation—whether protecting historic neighborhood character from development pressures or protecting public safety from perceived legislative threats. The level of community engagement on both issues demonstrated active civic participation in local government decision-making processes. ## Recognition of 10th District Council Volunteer Ally Grzywacz [timestamp: 20:00] Mayor Gray and Council Member Bledsoe presented agenda item 0130-17 to formally recognize Ally Grzywacz for her volunteer contributions to the 10th District Council. During the presentation, Mayor Gray and Council Member Bledsoe highlighted Grzywacz's volunteer service and community involvement. As part of the recognition, they officially declared February 9, 2017, as "Ally Grzywacz Day" in honor of her dedicated volunteer work. This agenda item was informational in nature, serving as a ceremonial recognition rather than requiring any council action or vote. The presentation acknowledged Grzywacz's contributions to the community through her volunteer efforts with the 10th District Council. ## Recognition of Girl Scout Troop 7433 [timestamp: 15:00] Mayor Gray and Council Member Evans presented a recognition to Girl Scout Troop 7433 during the February 9, 2017 meeting. The presentation acknowledged the troop's community activities and demonstrated leadership efforts. The agenda item, designated as 0151-17, served as an informational presentation to honor the Girl Scout troop's contributions to the community. Mayor Gray and Council Member Evans jointly participated in recognizing the young members of Troop 7433. This recognition was ceremonial in nature, with no formal action required by the council. The presentation highlighted the troop's community involvement and leadership development activities, though specific details of their projects or achievements were not detailed in the available meeting documentation. The item concluded as an informational presentation with no further council discussion or voting required. --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 0048-17** — passed (13-0): An Ordinance creating Section 21-37(h) of the Code of Ordinances for paid leave for mentoring - **Resolution 0052-17** — passed (13-0): A Resolution encouraging the Ky.

We'll begin with the roll call. Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Mr. James Brown. Here. Ms. Evans. Here. Mr. Farmer. Mr. Gibbs. Here. Ms. Henson. Here. Ms. Higgins. Here. Vice Mayor Kay. Here. Ms. Lamb. Here. Mr. Maloney. Ms. Massotti? Here. Ms. Plowman? Here. Ms. Scutchfield? Here. Mr. Stinnett? Ms. Bledsoe? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Fred Brown? Here. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Next, we'll ask for the invocation, and we want to welcome Linda Crawford, who is a member of Second Presbyterian Church and who was invited by Councilmember Angela Evans. So, Linda, thank you so much for joining us tonight for the invocation. Thank you for the invitation. This is an honor to be here. Let us pray. Gracious God, as we gather here this evening, we take time to thank you for giving us all another day to live in the world that you have created for us. We thank you for all the goodness we have in our own lives. In a time when we recognize all that we have, we also know it can be a time to feel both helpless and hopeless as we hear of things happening in our community, within our own country, and across the globe. Thank you for those gathered here this evening, ones that continually work diligently to make Lexington the wonderful city it is. Bless all that they say and do, and may the thoughts and words shared here this evening be ones that you have given them in their minds and hearts. All of this we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Linda, thank you so much. Thank you very much. motion to allow these citizens to speak earlier. I have a motion by Council Member Scotchfield, second by Council Member Henson. Is there any objection? I would just make a point. All right. Council Member Farmer. I understand the motion and the reason for it. I think that these folks could speak just as easily after we have had our minutes and our two presentations, and the Girl Scouts may be leaving, but if you all want to have now. That's fine with me. Thank you. All right. Is that going to work? All right. Which will hold it. All right. Well, we can do that. We can do that. Yeah, yeah. We'll work that in. I'm in the motion to have the presentation first before we have the constituents. That works. So after presentations? All right, so we have a motion and a second to amend. Is there any discussion on the motion to amend? All right, if not, then we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. So we'll vote on the original motion now as amended. All in favor of the motion as amended, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Move approval of the minutes. All right. Second. Thank you, Council Member Farmer. Got a motion by Council Member Farmer, second by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, hearing none, then we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right, now we'll move to presentations, and I will ask, I'll invite Council Member Evans to join me at the podium, and I will invite Troop Leader Emily Duncan and Girl Scout Troop 7433 to come to the front, to come up here and turn around and face the audience. All right, thank you all so much. The Girl Scouts have always been about sisterhood and developing productive girl leaders. This year, Ms. Duncan's Brownies and Junior Scouts have been focusing on just that. They want to show our community how girls can change the world. Earlier this afternoon, they had a chance to visit with Council Member Evans and learn about the role of a council member. So, Council Member Evans. Thank you, Mayor. The Girl Scout troop leaders is Emily Duncan. We already said that. And her 18 troops are Brownies and Junior Scouts in grades 2nd through 5th. Again, this year they were focused on women and girl leaders, sisterhood, and allyship. And we'll be working on service projects to benefit the Lexington Humane Society. and I did get to spend not enough time with these young ladies and I tell you, they had some truly great questions and I think we have some fine leaders in our future and they were so energetic and I was thrilled that they wanted to come and learn more about government and had all kinds of great questions and I hope you all can come again and we can spend more time together. So, yes, yay, yeah. So, yeah, again, thank you and we really appreciate you coming to learn about your government. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you. And one more time for the great work guys. Beautiful. Thank you, girls. Thank you. I haven't had that joy in a long time. Gosh. I'm amazed at that. Okay, now I would like to invite Councilmember Bledsoe and Allie Grethewatz to join us at the podium. One of the things that everybody here knows that makes our city so special is the commitment of its citizens to be involved. Allie is here today so we can thank her and recognize her for her volunteer work in Council Member Bledsoe's office for the last six months. So, Allie, we appreciate your time, energy, and effort and want to present you with a proclamation that shows just that appreciation and then ask Council Member Bledsoe to speak. What this reads is Allie Greewatts Day. Jim Gray is mayor of Lexington in celebration of Allie Greewatts, who has demonstrated her commitment to our city as a volunteer in the 10th district office. Do hereby declare February 9th, 2017 as Allie Greewatts Day in Lexington. All right. Thank you so much. I wanted to recognize Allie Greewatts. She's been interning us from Lafayette's High School Community Volunteer Program. This is for students to get a firsthand experience of workplace and explore future career opportunities. For the past six months, she's been in our office two to three times a week for several hours at a time. She's worked on a number of projects, including the Retrofitting the Retro, the Beaumont Traffic Study. She's attended a bunch of committee meetings, and she's provided insight from the youth's perspective. She's added valuable insight by bringing topics we're discussing in committees to her own government and history classes to get the high school students' perspective and, quite frankly, my own constituents' perspective. Allie and her parents are active members of the Pasadena and Paraplace Neighborhood Association, and Allie will be hosting an On the Table with her neighbors and fellow students this March. After volunteering in our office, she also works at Canes in the afternoon and weekends, all while sharing transportation. She'll be attending Murray next year, and we wish her a great deal of luck. I know her time interning with the council office will provide valuable insight for whatever career path she chooses. It's been an honor to have her in the office, and I really hope more students take advantage of that program and spend more time, actually, not just coming to one committee meeting or coming down here one time, but spending time in an office and helping us really learn more about what high school students and our students think about the future and making sure we're taking them into account. So, Allie, and she joined me with her parents. Thank you very much for serving with us. Thank you. it's close really Thank you. All right. All right. Now we're going to move to the public comments that we got a motion for and the council consented to earlier on resolution number 30. Before I do that, I want to call on Vice Mayor Kay. Thank you, Mayor. Before we take public comment, I believe it would be helpful to do two things. First, to provide a little more information about where we stand in terms of the actual permits that were pending. My understanding is that the permit for the proposed gas station and convenience store was approved this afternoon. So this moratorium, as proposed, would not apply to that particular development. I also understand that there's a pending permit for the Hope Center. If this resolution were passed as proposed, it would hold up the Hope Center from their development. Given those two facts, I'm going to make a motion to amend the resolution. And that is to, right now, the first part of it reads, the resolution declaring a moratorium on the application, processing, and issuance of all building permits. And there's a lot more language. My proposed amendment is to delete processing and issuance so that applications remain not acceptable. So it's a moratorium, but it's on applications and not on processing and issuance. This would allow the Hope Center, when they get their permit, if they get their permit to proceed. That's my amendment. And right now it calls for a moratorium for 90 days, and I'm going to propose that that gets shortened to 60 days. So move. Second. Motion by Vice Mayor Kay, seconded by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, if not, then we can vote. All in favor, please. Councilman Rebbins? Thank you, Mayor. Can you restate that a little more concisely? Yes. The motion is to delete from the resolution as stated, the words processing and issuance, which are in the first sentence. on page 9 of our agenda. And to change the date of August 31st to April 31st. April 30th. Thank you. So change August 31 to April 30. Those two changes. All right. Thank you, Vice Mayor. All right. Is there any further discussion on the motion to amend? Council Member Fred Brown. I'm still a little confused on the reasoning for this. Are you watering down this particular resolution by stating if they have a permit, they're okay, if they've already applied for a permit? That's correct. So the properties that we, I thought we were kind of channeling in on, was the property there at the corner, whatever that is. So this takes that off the table? That permit has already been issued. We cannot do anything about it. Could somebody answer me why we're even going on with the moratorium? I believe the rationale for the moratorium is that that corridor, that section of the corridor, it would be useful to have some study of it before issuing any more permits. That was the original rationale. It was not, as stated, aimed at any particular property. So the Hope Center's got a permit in? As I understand it, they're at the very last stages of having their permit approved. It just hasn't been fully processed. So now we're putting a moratorium on the particular area, but it doesn't really go in and look at a specific property that somebody's already in process with. That's correct. Okay, thank you. All right, any further discussion on the motion to amend? All right, if there is none, then we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right. All right. Thank you, Mayor. All right, now we can move to public comment for those who are here. And I will begin with Mr. Mark Clare. Mark, okay. Barbara Grossman. All right. Russell Sitter. All right, Russell. Yes, sir. If you just come to the podium, please, sir. Right up here. And Russell, just for information, the council rules allow for three minutes. Someone can yield time if you need more, if you need more than that. And if you just give your name and address for the record, that'd be great. Thank you. My name is Russ Sitter. My address is 305D Bainbridge Drive from Lexington. I understand there is a first reading of a splash pad project on the docket to be discussed tonight. I would like to raise a citizen's concern that the project bid may have been improper, that some parts of the specification locked in only one manufacturer, and I think the project should be rebid. That's my only comment. All right. Thank you, sir. All right. Let me point out that I am calling on those who have signed on to speak, but if you are here to speak to resolution for second reading number 30, that's what the motion allowed for. So I appreciate your... That's fine. You're good, right? You finished, Russell? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Thank you very much. All right. is Rick Griffith okay Anita French Anita French Franklin Anita Frank oh Anita I couldn't read that all right okay thank you Anita Lane Boldman all right Hi, my name is Lane Boldman. I'm president of the Cardinal Valley Neighborhood Association. You received comments from us. They were marked as Resolution 29, but that's been since renumbered as 30. I want to appreciate all of the studies that have been done in Cardinal Valley, the Cardinal Valley Small Area Plan, the Oxford Circle Redevelopment Study, the Versailles Road Corridor Study. I joined the corridors committee recently, and I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into these studies and the work that these committees put together. Unfortunately, I'm coming here tonight with the situation that we were trying to resolve, already resolved before the neighborhood had a chance to speak to it. And yet we lose yet another building that's a key corridor to one of the oldest neighborhoods, if not the oldest neighborhood, outside the urban core, which is Cardinal Valley. that we have so few left of the original 1929, 1930s homes. This has now caused us to lose two more very large apartment buildings that were original to the neighborhood. We had to come here last spring to challenge the same developer when he wanted to remove four homes that were original stock, losing more housing in the community. And all of these studies are only worth the paper that they're printed on if the housing goes away before the committees have a chance to implement these studies. You've spent almost a half million dollars on studies on how to improve our neighborhood, and it's disappearing as we speak. Our neighborhood is very frustrated by this to lose yet another set of properties that are anchors that the original neighborhood values, wants to restore, and wants to maintain as much as possible. So you've got my comments, and I'm relaying this because this was very emotional for the neighborhood last time to come in this time and find that there's nothing we can do again. It's very frustrating, so we appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Bildman. Mr. Hardesty. I'm Herman Hardesty. I'm a trustee and a deacon at Hillcrest Baptist Church. This proposed development is virtually in our front door. I don't believe anybody should have a gas station in front of their church. I strongly support Councilman Henson's proposal. She was married in our church years ago. We're 75 years old. This is a residential area. And a small part of it has been carved out. I don't believe it's big enough to support a gas station in conjunction with the seven other gas stations that are within a two-mile stretch of Oliver and Lewis Road and the other end of Versailles Road. I don't think this is in the best interest of the city and certainly not in our best interest. I thank you. Thank you, Mr. Harstey. All right, that's all who have signed on to speak to resolution number 30 for which we got the... Do you wish to speak to 30? Okay. My name is Amy Clark. I live at 628 Castle Road. I'll be brief. I didn't get the memo that things were changed. You have remarks from me from a little earlier. I do want to say that the moratorium aims at preserving housing and preserving affordable housing. That's a cardinal need of the neighborhood and the city as a whole. I would ask, and perhaps this has been thoroughly vetted already, whether amending a resolution to reduce its impact is proper without public notice in advance. You've just amended the time scope and whether it's processing, whether it's accepting processing and issuing or just the one processing. I think it's worth questioning whether that's a proper resolution without public notice. What I was going to say, and I will say it very briefly, is that some years ago you made a very similar moratorium to address a very similar need. There was a long student housing task force with many recommendations. About a month went by. Not much really happened in terms of implementation. So what came next was an outcry from the people in the neighborhood who are vested in the neighborhood. They had property there, homes. And there was a moratorium imposed to see how to do better. So I appreciated that moratorium. It covered my third district, and I appreciate what the neighbors and the district member are seeking for a moratorium now. Thank you. This is for the record. Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. I wanted to share my thoughts because we have all received a lot of emails, and I'm blessed to have social media as well, and phone calls. I received a call from a childhood friend's mother, and she's like, she was so much against it, has lived there for 70 years in the area. So I wanted to explain a little bit about where we've been and where we plan to go. And I understand the frustration. You can ask just about anybody in the administration. I got really, really angry over this situation because it is my home as well as yours, those that have spoken. When these properties were condemned, I didn't realize that they were zoned B1. So even though we had a small area plan, we didn't get a heads up, planning said that it was a nonconforming use. In my opinion, it was not a nonconforming use, but a wrong zone. They were zoned improperly. But in defense of this property owner, he did buy this property. He's moved fairly quickly on it. I do appreciate anyone that wants to invest in our city. The gas station would be probably the last thing that the neighbors would want. But we had a zone change a few months back, and the other side of Delmont Drive was Zone B1. But the neighbors were very adamant that it be restricted from a gas station. So this, you know, it just kind of slipped. I feel like it slipped up on us. It's not the perfect situation. But Mr. Rordian bought this property, good faith investment for him. It was zoned properly, so I see his side. We did try to, when we did the Cardinal Valley small area plan, it mentioned nothing of a gas station. It mentioned safe, affordable housing and some other possible retail. And I have shared that with this property owner. Now, the other side, I do believe that this moratorium will allow us time to sit down with planning and the property owner and come up with a good plan for the other side. They haven't spoken, but I did speak with the attorney today. And he informed me that this gas station design will complement the area as much as it possibly can. And, you know, I'm really, really sorry. I hate it for the neighborhood that this is the way it's turned out. But we do have laws that we have to abide by. So thank you for being here. Thank you for caring about your neighborhood, and thanks to everyone that has emailed and commented, and we will continue to fight for this corridor. So thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Henson. I want to call on Vice Mayor Kaye now. Thank you, Mayor. I believe there are also a number of people here to speak to item number 52 under resolutions, and I would like to move that the council also suspend its rules and allow comment on number 52, which is the Senate Bill 7 that's before the Kentucky General Assembly, so that they don't have to wait through the whole meeting. Second. Motion by Vice Mayor Kaye, second by Council Member Farmer. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. All right. I'll first call on, I believe, Senator Thomas is here. Reginald Thomas is here. Senator Thomas, I know you know the rules of the Senate well. and you probably know the rules of our council in terms of the three-minute, but we're going to give you what you need, of course, and we'll yield if we need to. If I could have a minute or two, I would try to be as direct and as succinct as possible. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Mayor and council members, it's good to see you all again. Let me begin by saying we all know that as elected officials, our first responsibility is the public safety of our citizens. That's what they elect us for, to be safe and secure in their homes and their streets. That's fundamental and first in what we do. We also know, and I tell you this as no surprise, that we have a gun access problem here in Fayette County. Last year we experienced 24 murders in our city. The second most in the history of Lexington. We've already seen three this year. And as lawmakers, we've got to do something about this. Senate Bill 7, which is a resolution filed by Councilwoman Mazzotti, asked this city, and I'm here to endorse you to do this, to oppose Senate Bill 7. What Senate Bill 7 does, it essentially does away with the concealed and carry laws. It allows for people to carry guns without a permit. Any kind of covering over a weapon will make it legal for someone to walk around these streets. I submit to you that in this city, given what we've seen over the last year, we cannot allow that. In the last four months, I've been to four vigils and two funerals involving people who've been murder victims in our city. One of those funerals was a two-year-old. And I ask you, have any of you ever been to a two-year-old funeral? To a funeral of a two-year-old? Let me tell you two things that leave an indelible remark on you when you go to a two-year-old funeral. First of all, it's the size of the casket. You walk in there and you see this item that looks like a flower box. It's a regular flower box. Until you get right up on it and you see a dead child. and that just hits you in your heart and in your emotions as to the size of that casket and that child laying in there that really looks like a flower box the second thing is the obituary obituary talks about this young child with a loving smile playful eyes and then she dies No mention of children or succeeding in school or career. Just that she was born and she died. You never forget that. I'm asking you tonight to oppose Senate Bill 7. as a city have Lexington's voice heard and said, we cannot allow this to happen in our city. We have got, again, to have Lexington's voice be heard. And so I go back to where I began, that as lawmakers, we have a responsibility to make sure our streets and our homes and our communities are safe. And for those of you who will say, well, this is not a city government problem. This is a state problem. I submit to you for a murder victim. When they lose a family member, that family member doesn't say, well, that's a problem of the local government. Well, they don't say that's a problem of a state government. They just recognize that that's a problem. And a problem that all of us, as lawmakers on both the local and state level, have to address. So that's for your support tonight in passing Senate Bill, passing this resolution opposing Senate Bill 7. Thank you, Mayor, for the time. Thank you, Senator. I have several who have signed on to speak, but I'm not sure if they've signed on to speak to this issue. Anita Franklin. Anita has. Anita, come on up. Let me say while Anita is walking up, is the chair recognizing that there's a lot of emotion associated with a lot of issues that come before the council? We do, over time, over many years, we do have a rule that says demonstrations like applause and so forth are not appropriate in the council. So I would just ask you all if you'd recognize that. Thank you so much. All right. Anita. Mayor Gray and members of the council. My name is Anita Franklin. I live here in Lexington. I'm going to come tonight as the point of view of a mother who's lost a son. A lot of you in this room know about the death of my son Antonio Franklin. He was murdered in Duncan Park in 2014. He was a mere 21 years old. On January the 13th, I celebrated his would-be 24th birthday. I had to celebrate it without him. He lost his life to a senseless act of gun violence. When people speak of Antonio, they use adjectives such as victim, a true victim, happy and full of potential. We will never know his potential because of that senseless act of gun violence. Tonight, I thought about how could I represent Antonio and other children that have lost their lives here in Lexington. And I started to bring a picture in. But I can't share a picture of Antonio graduating from college. I can't bring a picture of Antonio, his wife, and children. And I almost brought a picture of Antonio laying in his casket. Every time there's this act of gun violence, we are re-victimized, whether we know the people or not. Adults have become so careless with gun laws that it's flowing over into the minds of our young adults. Shame on us for letting that privilege of owning a gun get so out of control. We have an epidemic, folks. Guns are getting into the hands of the wrong people. We do need these checks and balances. Our existing permitting system serves that role. Members of the committee, no one is immune from this gun violence. For that reason, we cannot lower the bar of our expectations, as we cannot carry a concealed gun in public. We must do everything we can to make sure that dangerous people don't get to carry concealed weapons in public. It's not just for me. It's not just for Antonio. It's for all of us. I'm not the only one suffering. It has affected a lot of people here in Lexington, Kentucky, as it continues to do so. Antonio is with God, but I'm advocating for that next potential victim or victims. I stand before you tonight, and I beg you to please put a stop to Senate Bill 7. You have the power to do this. God bless you and thank you. Thank you, Anita. Does anyone else wish to speak to the resolution 52? I don't believe. All right. Thank you all so much. All right, that allows us to move on to ordinances for a second reading. Madam Clerk, whenever you're ready. Number one in ordinance creating section 2137H of the Code of Ordinances, providing that classified civil service employees may receive up to two hours of paid leave time per week to participate in the Lexington Fair and Caring Government Mentor Program, targeting youth, providing that agencies participating in the program may include the Division of Parks and Recreation, Fayette County Public Schools, and any agency that has a valid designation by the IRS as file 1c3 and is eligible to receive tax deductible contributions under Section 170, and providing that the Chief Administrative Officer may make reasonable rules and regulations consistent with this section, effective upon passing of counsel. Item 2. An ordinance of an exertion of the budget selects in Fayette or every county government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriating and reappropriating fund schedule number 34. I have a motion to approve. Thank you, Councilmember Farmer. Second by Councilmember Scutchfield. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, then, Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Mr. James Brown. Ms. Evans. Yes. Mr. Farmer. Aye. Mr. Gibbs. Yes. Ms. Henson. Yes. Ms. Higgins? Yes. Vice Mayor Kay? Yes. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Ms. Massotti? Yes. Ms. Plowman? Yes. Ms. Scutchfield? Yes. Ms. Blitzo? Yes. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The vote reflects passage of the motion. It allows us to move on to ordinances for a first reading. And on item number three, I need to recognize Councilmember Higgins. Thank you, Mayor. I move to schedule a public hearing on ordinance number three on March 7th at 5 p.m. There's a motion, and we have a motion by Councilmember Higgins, second by Councilmember James Brown. Is there any discussion on the motion? Councilmember Farmer. So, the planning staff recommended for this infill project, and the planning commission voted for this infill project unanimously. So, what would be derived from another hearing about it is just my overall question. Close to 30 positioners are opposed to this zone change in development, some of who are here tonight. This includes residents of the Blackburn as well as 3rd Street. Blackburn Avenue is a very small street that acts as a one-way street at times due to parking on both sides, which is before the 72-unit complex has been developed. And there are concerns about increased traffic as well as parking. if this possible student housing arises as well, the increase in traffic and parking issues are prevalent to the folks in the community. So that's what they're sharing. Thank you. I would just say that if we do take input from the public on this, or that public about this, some of the comments that need to be delivered to us need to address the support for infill and redevelopment throughout the urban service area as a strategic component of growth. They also need to address providing well-designed neighborhoods and communities. And I think there's one more. In terms of comments about spending more time on this, how this will uphold the current urban services area concept. Thank you. All right, thank you. Is there any further discussion? I do believe that someone may have signed on to speak. more than one perhaps and unless there's an objection we'll suspend the rules and ask them to speak now alright we have a motion we'll go ahead and get a motion in a second a motion by Council Member Farmer is there a second a second by Vice Mayor Kay is there any objection alright then I believe Mr. Griffith Mr. Fred Brown yes sir let's get some clarification on this We had a motion for first reading. There is a motion on the floor. Right. I was just getting a motion for those who are here for public comment to go ahead and speak to this at this point in time. Well, the question I have is that if we vote to give a public hearing, is it necessary? Because we're not in the public hearing mode, and how does that affect our vote later on? and you can take public comment on the particular zone change. Well, I'd have to ask the law department to speak to that. Keith? I'm partly assuming that any comment tonight will be about having a public hearing, but even if it isn't, the comments made tonight won't be used for your record of any zone change hearing that occurred. If it occurs on March the 7th, their comments would basically have to be repeated if it's to the substance of the zone change versus why should we have a public hearing? I'm just concerned we're going to do some duplication here. If we grant the zone hearing, I think we've satisfied the audience that they have their day in court. So that's where I'm at. I see what you're saying. Why don't we ask the – we'll ask the – okay. Are we okay with asking for public comment? We have one objection. Why don't we ask those who are here? Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Griffith is here from Blackburn Street. Mayor. You're okay? All right. Anyone else? Okay. Mr. Clark, do you want to speak? All right, sir. Mayor. Really and truly, we have a motion on the floor. That's right. We do have a motion on the floor. So we really need to do away with that motion on the motion for request for a public hearing before we let public comment. Well, all right. I'm willing to take that. I mean, I think that's... Let's go ahead then and vote. We need to dispose of that before we... Is there any further discussion on the motion that Council Member Higgins has? All right. Council Member Evans. Right. And this is a procedural question. And perhaps something that goes beyond this, it's how we do this in general. because what I think I just heard was that comments that might be given if we allowed public comment to happen tonight is okay, which I feel like is slightly a contradiction to what we're generally told about comments regarding zone changes. because we're generally told that we need to try and stay away from hearing those comments for the very reason Council Member Fred Brown just said, that we are adjudicators. So I'm a little confused right now that if we do hear comments, just like Council Member Brown said, are we not then jeopardizing? all of us now and for future hearings. I'm just confused now. Let Mr. Horn speak to that. Generally at a public meeting like this, there's a time for public comment and citizens get up and make public comment. The fact that it's not a hearing, those comments will not be used for the record was what I was trying to explain at the Zone. They would have to repeat those comments. Now, partly, I think we're assuming that any comments are about the substance of the zone change, potentially versus you should give us a public hearing on this. And I think we would all agree that if comments are about I deserve to have a public hearing on this, it would certainly seem appropriate to that. That being said, if you want to restrict comment, this body certainly has the ability to do that. I guess that's what I'm getting at, that perhaps that instruction might need to be given to the public. The question, based on previous advice and what you said, would perhaps need to be limited to whether or not to have a hearing at all. But then that is the original motion on the floor. That's correct. is whether or not to have the hearing. So whatever comments anyone would say would have to be on that as opposed to the substance. Is that correct? That's my understanding. And I just want to make sure everyone's clear because I wasn't and I'm just not afraid to say that I didn't understand. I'm presuming that everyone will limit their comments to whether or not to have a hearing. That keeps us safe. I'm sorry. I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I'm not going to say that if someone, for example, just came up at public comment at the end of your meeting to make comment about a zone change, it's not going to impact your ability to have a hearing at a later date on a zone change. It's difficult to control what a citizen may decide they want to mention in public comment. that standing alone is not going to jeopardize your zone change hearing on the night of the hearing. All right. All right. Is there any further discussion? So can we vote on the motion to have a public hearing first? Okay. I'm all right. That's what we're going to do. All right. All right. All in favor of the motion, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. No. No. No. All right. How many no's are there? Hold your hand. Or vote electronically. Let's just vote electronically. This is to have the public hearing. The motion is to have the public hearing. All right. Motion to have the public hearing. All right. The motion passes. All right. But now we had a motion earlier to hold, to allow those who are here for public comment on this issue to speak. And that's what Mr. Klar is here for. Yes, sir. My name is Mark Klar. I live at 321 Blackburn Avenue. I feel that what I'm about to say is redundant. But allow me to say it. Anyway, I appreciate the aye votes. Aye. We are here again to ask for a public hearing regarding the Yellman subdivision, Blackburn Avenue rezoning. We've been told repeatedly that due to the quasi-judicial role of the council in this regard of the zone change, that we could not discuss our concerns or criticism of this project, and we won't. and so we have waited patiently to bring our case to you, the council, directly. You have not yet heard our voices, our own voices, regarding this. Our concerns have been transmitted to you by others. It is not the same as hearing from us, the residents of Blackburn and 3rd Street. we are the ones who will be most affected by the zone change and the proposed development in this present form. We are the ones who will have to live with this, the consequences of your decision. Isn't it a responsibility of this judicial body at least to listen to us? Isn't it your duty, therefore, to provide the opportunity to hear us? We want to be heard. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Mr. Clark. All right. Now we can move on to the first reading of the ordinances. Madam Clerk.

All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. I'll ask you to motion to, got a motion to approve by Council Member Henson. Is there a second? Second by Council Member Massadi. Is there any discussion? Let me just make a point that the parliamentarian and Council Member Lamb mentioned. And if you do want to object or want to vote no, then as the clerk calls the roll, you'll need to say it then. So, Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Council Member Scotchfield. Thank you, Mayor. Sorry, I had signed in to speak. I'm going to vote yes for the second reading on 52. But I do want to tell you that I feel strongly that I'm doing this to support our police because they're in favor of this. To me, these are just words that we've put on paper. We're not doing things to teach the kids what they need to not be doing with guns. And that's the answer, and we're not doing that. So, yes, I do think we need more training. I do think we need to make sure that people that have guns in their hand legally know what they're doing with it. But we're not going to prevent people from getting guns because these are just words on the paper. If a criminal wants a gun, they don't follow the laws. Us in here, we follow the laws. So we can feel good about saying this and wanting to have training, but it comes down to us making sure that we're teaching kids, we're teaching people to be responsible. And that's the answer. Thank you. All right. Council Mayor Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to reiterate a little bit of what Council Member Sketchfield said. I'm also going to support the resolution because I do think I have strong concerns about the bill, and I hope that Frankfort continues to talk about it. I want to echo my support for our law enforcement, who have stood very clearly against a lot of it. But I want to be clear that this is not in our jurisdiction. Gun control is not in our jurisdiction. And I just want to make sure that people understand that we're encouraging Frankfort to look at it, and we care deeply about it, but we don't have the authority to deal with it from a strictly legislative view. And I just want people to know that from the outset. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Bledsoe. Any further discussion? Council Member Henson. Thank you, Mayor. And I would agree with both of you as far as, you know, it's the holders of the guns that are criminals. I don't want to live in a world where just the police and criminals have weapons. I have a weapon. But we do need to be responsible. In my opinion, this legislation is irresponsible. We need to look at many, many different things that we could do to prevent gun violence. And this is going the opposite direction, in my opinion, this legislation in Frankfurt. And since I've been on this council, there have been many times that we have sent resolutions to Frankfurt in support or not in support of certain things. So even though it's not in our jurisdictions, I think we have a voice. So thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Hanson. All right, any further discussion? Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. And thank you to my colleagues who have supported this resolution. I feel strongly about it. I think we have to set an example as public servants. And even though it may not be our jurisdiction, as Senator Thomas said so eloquently, when a child is lost or a life is lost, no one cares if it's a state rule or a local rule. It's all about carrying concealed deadly weapons. And I think this is a poorly written law. And I think by us supporting this, it does send a message. and sends a message to our citizens and sends a message that we care about our citizens and public safety and our public safety officers. Thank you. That's all in there. Thank you. Any further discussion? All right. Then, Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Mr. James Brown. Yes. Ms. Evans. Yes. Mr. Farmer. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Gibbs. Yes. Ms. Henson. Yes. Ms. Higgins? Yes. Vice Mayor Kay? Yes. Ms. Massadi? Yes. Ms. Plowman? Yes. Ms. Gutchfield? Yes. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes. And I will record my vote. Yes, please. I'm sorry. That's okay. Thank you. All right. Yes. Should I take another vote? I'm sorry. Is that it? Is that everybody? All right. The vote reflects passage of the motion. Allows us to move on to communications from the mayor. Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Kaye. Is there a second? Second. Second by Council Member Farmer. Is there any discussion on the motion? Yes. All right. Hearing none, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Second. Motion carries. Next is communications for information only. No actions required. I'll open the floor to announcements by any council members. All right. No one. Council Vice Mayor Kay. Yes, I just want to let people know who are here for the zone change, which I believe at this point most people in the audience are here for, that at the conclusion we'll take a very brief break, five minutes, and then we'll begin the hearing. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Vice Mayor. All right, we have one disciplinary action tonight. Commander Brad Ingram is here for that. Thank you, Mayor, Council. Discipline and recommendation for Council approval. On Thursday, January 5, 2017, an allegation was made on Officer Stephen P. Cobb for violation of General Order 1973, Disciplinary Procedures, Appendix B, Operational Rule 1.35, violating any rules of the division. At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee met with Chief Mark Barnard and has accepted a written reprimand and 30-day calendar days of his home fleet suspension. This recommendation for discipline has also been approved by the Public Safety Commissioner, Ronnie Baston. Thank you, Commander. Motion to approve by Council Member Farmer, seconded by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Evans. All right. Can you explain with that title, 1973? Yes. So forth, what exactly is that violation? Officer Stephen Cobb did not operate his department-issued vehicle within the policy and procedures outlined in the general order, operation, and maintenance of division vehicles. And that was, the discipline was? A written reprimand and 30 calendar day suspension of his home fleet vehicle. Okay. And that was the suggested discipline from the chief as opposed to the panel. I don't remember the title. Yes, that was a recommendation by the chief. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Council Member Evans. Is there any further discussion on the motion? All right, if not, then we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next on our agenda, public comments. We've already asked for public comments. I believe everyone has spoken who signed up for public comment unless I missed someone. If we did miss someone, please hold your hand up earlier. This is not the zone change. All right. All right. Then that allows me to ask for a motion to adjourn. Motion by Councilmember Farmer, second by Councilmember Hanson. Unless there's objection, we are adjourned.
