This evening we are pleased to welcome Rabbi David Wortshafter from Temple Adath Israel to provide us with an invocation. Thank you for being with us. Thank you, Mr. Vice Mayor, and thank you to the City Council. Thus says the Eternal, your God, This is what I desire, to unlock the fetters of wickedness and to untie the cords of lawlessness, to let the oppressed go free, to break off every yoke. Share your bread with the hungry and take the wretched poor into your home. When you see the naked, give clothing and do not ignore your own can. If you banish the yoke from your midst, the menacing hand, the evil speech, If you offer compassion to the hungry and satisfy the famished creature, then shall your light shine in darkness. O guardian of life and liberty, may our nation always merit your protection. Teach us to give thanks for what we have by sharing it with those who are in need. Keep our eyes open to the wonders of creation and alert to the care of the earth. May we never be lazy in the work of peace. May we honor those who have died in defense of our ideals. Grant our leaders wisdom and forbearance. May they govern with justice and compassion. Help us all to appreciate one another and to respect the many ways that we may serve you. May our homes be safe from affliction and strife, and may our country be sound in body and spirit. As we approach the Oscar Awards this weekend, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of a great American World War II classic, Casablanca. More than appreciating its entertainment value, let us recognize its ability to inspire. Let us encourage one another to stick our necks out. May we put moral courage over personal profit. May we refuse to be corrupted by power or caused by bullies. May this be our blessing, and let us say together, Amen. Good evening. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next, we have some presentations. I'm going to move to the podium, and we'll begin. We have a special opportunity this evening to honor the winners of the Kentucky American Water Science Fair, which is celebrating its 33rd anniversary year.

Thank you. We need to stop at this point for a public hearing before reading item 19. I'd like to call Mr. Nolan Jackson. To the podium. Nolan Jackson. Yes, sir. Were you here for the public hearing? No, sir. I'm here for item 19. I represent Central Bank. This is... Oh, okay. I'm here to answer any questions that this body might have. My name is Nolan Jackson. and I'm an associate at Frost Brown Todd, and I represent Central Bank. I'm here on this matter, a bonding matter, and here to answer your questions if you have them. Thank you. Councilman Scutchfield, are you signed in on this? Thank you. Okay, is there anyone here from the public who wishes to comment on this item? Yes, sir. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. I just want to ask what it is that you're doing here. Can somebody please translate the legalese into plain English so that we know what's going on? Are you getting paid back for a loan you extended to neighboring counties? or is it the other way around? Counsel, can you explain? The bond law requires the location where this project takes place to also approve the project, which is essentially what you all are doing. You're basically approving another government entity providing the loan for a project that's located here in Fayette County. Thank you. Is there anyone else? Any other public comment? Seeing none. I will adjourn the public hearing. Thank you for coming. And, Clerk, please continue with the reading resolutions.

Thank you. Is there a motion to approve? Submute. Motion and second. Any discussion on the motion? Council Member Scotchfield. Vice Mayor Kaye, I have a constituent that is here to speak on one of the items. I should have called, had him come up at the time the item was read. But if the council would give leeway, allow him to speak right now. Without objection. Yes. Just send the rules and have him speak on number five. Without objection, you may proceed. All right. Thank you very much. My name is Russ Sitter. I live on Bainbridge Drive in District 7. The Jacobson Park splash pad is going to be built not far from my backyard. I wanted to take you all back just for a quick minute. I know I've only got a few minutes to chat here. But most of you can recall your third grade science and the water cycle. Water is certainly very important to us, and some people use the phrase wasting water inappropriately. Water is ultimately the most renewable resource that we have. What goes down the drain goes to the ocean, goes to the clouds, and comes right back to us. Wasting water is not the same as wasting coal, wasting electricity, or wasting time. These are the things you do not get back, but water comes back. Could I go to the next slide, please? Number B. Okay. These next three slides, and if we could just kind of cycle them back and forth. These next three slides are talking about what's called a pass-through splash pad. And as you can see, the differences in these photographs, not all of the water is flowing from the water feature in the same spot at the same time. A pass-through splash pad doesn't recycle the water. It costs a lot less, and the water used goes directly to a storm drain. the way a pass-through splash pad works well is if the water features on it are grouped and the water will spray out of one group at one time and then another group of features at another time and the kids will run back and forth because they want the water to fall on them but this grouping and sequencing is a way to save water And that's a fundamentally different design than a splash pad that is flowing 100% of water all the time and using more energy to recycle that water and chlorinate it. And then, of course, you've got to have people that monitor this stuff and test the water. So there are significant cost savings for the pass-through type of spray pads. And I would like to ask that there is some kind of an economic analysis that could potentially save upwards of $200,000 on this project if a pass-through design is used versus a recycling design. Right here is from the Kentucky American water rates. As you can see, it costs $4.60 for 1,000 gallons of water. and even if the Jacobson Park splash pad used 25,000 gallons of water in a day, that would only be about $100 worth of water. Certainly the cost for someone, a parks employee, to travel to the splash pad and test the water and add the chlorine, that's going to cost probably $100 a day. So in the equipment savings alone, I am sure that there is significant cost to be saved. Next slide, please. Okay, the other advantage of a pass-through system is it's inherently safer from a single-cell pathogen, a parasite called cryptosporidium. And I'm not going to go into the science of what crypto is or how many people have died from it in the last 20 years. but this intestinal parasite, once it gets in the water, chlorine doesn't kill it. Chlorine does not kill cryptosporidium. So having a recycling system that only relies on chlorine as a sanitizer does not protect you from this parasite. As you can see, there are splash pads around the country that run into this problem and people do get sick. I'm sorry to interrupt you. Are you going to wrap up or should I ask council to give you more time? About a minute and a half, please. I so move. Second. Without objection, please proceed. Thank you. Okay, next slide, please. All right, the other thing I wanted to address was something called theming. And theming is the artistic side of water engineering. This slide from a particular project was given to me by one of my followers on Twitter. And it is the Iceland splash pad in Saudi Arabia. Now, we all know that they've got plenty of money to design anything that they want. But look how the theme of this splash pad tells everyone around the world this is absolutely the coldest place on the planet. And where else would they want to advertise that than Saudi Arabia? Next slide, please. This is another one a little closer to home. This was down in Orlando at a place called Gatorland. No, those are not real alligators playing with the kids. These are just sculptures. But this is what I'm talking about when you talk about theming. Okay, next slide, please. it's that little bit of design that you get when someone takes a picture and shares it on Facebook and says, you know what, I'm proud to have this in my town this is really special. This little park in St. Mary's, Ontario is a very, very small budget park in fact they couldn't even afford three legs to put on that little full water tower there, but they did put some graphics on there that makes it interesting. It says St. Mary's, the town worth living in. Okay? Just a tiny little design element like that can really have an impact on the quality of the overall installation. Next slide, please. Okay. During the Aquatics Master Plan and I was on the committee, people were engaged and there were thousands of responses for how the public wanted to have some splash pads. This is an example of one of them. This was the one at Suffoletta in Georgetown. You can notice the compass rose on the hardscape there. It's a very signature thing. So anyone who takes a picture of that and shares it on Facebook, everyone knows that's the Suffoletta Water Park. So in conclusion, I I wanted to say that the theming of the splash pads for Masterson Station and Jacobson Park, the theming has not been done yet, and now that it's been bid, there's no opportunity to add it. So I think we should also reconsider the cost savings for a pass-through system, and that's why I think we should hold off on accepting the contractor's bid. Thank you very much. Thank you. I believe that allows us to move on to resolutions for first reading. Madam Clerk. Sir, we need a vote on that. Did we not vote on any further discussion on the motion that's on the floor to approve? If not, please call the roll. Yes, sir. Mr. Gibbs? Yes. Ms. Henson? Yes. Ms. Higgins? Yes. Vice Mayor Kay? Vice Mayor? Ms. Lamb? Yes. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Masati? Yes. Ms. Plowman? Yes. Ms. Gutchfield? Yes. Mr. Stinnett? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. Mr. James Brown? Yes. And Ms. Evans? Yes. Thank you. Thank you. That vote reflects passage. That allows us now to move on to resolutions for first reading. Again, Madam Clerk, when you're ready. Resolution number 20.

Oh, Council Member Lamb. Thanks. I just wanted to shout out to the staff at the Lexington Day Treatment Center. I attended the African American program this morning, and it was just really awesome. And the students did a fantastic job, and they just have such wonderful mentors at the Lexington Day Treatment Center. And proud that that's a part of our government and helping the youth in our community. Thanks. Thank you. Council Member Fred Brown. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Somebody may have mentioned it Tuesday, but I wanted to acknowledge the passing of James M. Todd, who was a former vice mayor of Lexington. And he was an attorney by trade. And Mr. Todd was a member of the Lexington Lions Club from 1984 until his death. and he was elected as Lexington's second vice mayor and served under James Amato from 1978 to 1982. And during his time on the Urban County Council, he was instrumental in passing the ordinance instituting the current law that the candidate receiving the most votes in the large council race would automatically become the vice mayor. So I just wanted to, it's been a while, but as a fellow council member in the past and just want to acknowledge that. Thank you. Thank you. I see nobody else signed on for announcements. That allows us to move to public comments. And first would be Mr. Bernard McCarthy. I just want to say, after venturing south of the center of downtown a little bit earlier this evening to get my hair cut in preparation for the trip I set out on nine days from now, I was rather appalled at how horrible traffic is once you get south of Main Street. And what's worse, while you expect traffic jams outbound a few minutes after five in the evening, I was amazed at how bad it was snarled coming inbound on Limestone. And I should point out, I wasn't driving, I was pedaling. So I wasn't making things that much worse. But I have to say, while insurance companies ask all kinds of questions about how many days a week do you drive to work and how far, they bark up the wrong tree as far as the way my life is structured. because my vacation that I take every year the first three weeks of March accounts for more miles than a whole year's worth of travel between my house and my job would, even if I drove every day, which I'm only driving on days when I expect crummy weather or it's my turn to bring the snacks for my coworkers. But anyhow, just want to point out, don't anybody get any ideas about shrinking any streets downtown or anything else that would mess up the capacity? Because even after Oliver Lewis Way gets finished, we still need all the capacity we can get. Thank you, sir. Next, I have Ms. Lily Miller-Johnson. Good afternoon or evening. My name is Lily Miller Johnson. I'm a supervisor with the Fayette County Conservation District, Soil and Water Conservation District. This is my third term, and I just want to come in every now and then and bring you up to scratch on what's going on. We brought in two new officers or supervisors, and on March the 11th, we're having a tree giveaway out at the horse park, and I hope you'll come out and check it out. What happens is the farm has an auction out there, the Farm Bureau, and we set up a table and give away trees, seedlings, to each and every person, free tree seedlings to help build up their property, tree lines and stuff like that for the farmers and landowners. Anybody that owns property can get a tree. It's free. And also, we're going to be losing Melinda. Melinda is going to Frankfort. And let me see what else. I think that's all. We have an area meeting in Madison County on the 13th. So if you want to come to that, you're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. If nobody else signed up for public comments, that would allow me to entertain a motion to adjourn. Move motion in a second. Without objection, we stand adjourned. The End And you know that
