Ernie, thank you so much for joining us. And we'll all stand. Let's pray with me. Lord, we thank you for the freedom that we have in this country to come and assemble, to come and pray, to pray without fear of retribution or punishment. We thank you for the freedom to govern ourselves. Many peoples around the world tonight do not have that freedom. Lord you tell us in 1 Timothy 1 to pray for all kings and all those in authority that we may live lives in all godliness and holiness Lord that's a big responsibility so we come before you in prayer tonight I suppose because we need to but Lord we need you Lord would you forgive us for the times where we feel that we don't Lord help us tonight to be kind and loving and humble Pray that you give us wisdom and discernment for the task before us tonight.

And I pray this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Ernie, thank you so much. I always say that you are invited, but don't feel obligated to stay with us. Thank you. All right, tonight we have a number of presentations. We actually have four proclamations, so I'll just ask you all to please, everybody, please be patient and enthusiastic. All right, thank you. All right. And first tonight, I want to invite Dave Barbary, Janet Graham, our Commissioner of Law, and David Martirano, who is President and CEO of the YMCA of Central Kentucky, to join me up here at the podium. And I will also invite David Elson, Karen Wolfsdorf, Allison Stewart, Mark Wright, and Chasmin McCoy, along with firefighters Matthew Anderson, Jason Moore, Kiker Moses, and Richard Garr to move to the front of the chamber. Last fall, Dave Barbary, an attorney in the city's law department, was in an exercise class at the downtown YMCA when, as many of us know, Dave suffered a cardiac arrest. Tonight, we want to thank those brave citizens who attended to Dave by presenting them with a proclamation. And I'm going to read the proclamation. And then I'm going to invite Dave to speak. And David Martirano to speak as well. So this reads, David Barbary Day. Whereas David Barbary is a valued member of the city's Department of Law, and whereas on October 31, 2016, Dave suffered a life-threatening cardiac arrest at the High Street YMCA during an exercise class. And whereas Dave's life was saved through the quick action of YMCA staff and several classmates. and the quick response of the Lexington Fire Department. And whereas thanks to YMCA staffers, David Elson, Chasmin McCoy, Mark Wright, and fellow class members, Karen Wolfsdorf and Allison Stewart. And whereas thanks to firefighters, Mark Lucas, Matthew Anderson, Brandon Irvin, Jason Moore, Richard Garr, and Kiker Moses. and whereas thanks to all of these, all of these for saving the life of a great attorney, a friend, and a colleague. Now, therefore, I, Jim Gray, as mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare Thursday, March 2, 2017, as David Barbary Day in Lexington. Thank you. First, let me start out by saying thank you all, and hopefully I can hold this together. We'll see. It's good to be alive. I'm grateful and blessed to be here. Maybe I should start out with this first. One of the ways I knew I was back was I ran into Council Member Maloney shortly after I got back to work, and he said, well, I knew you weren't going to die. And I said, well, how did you know that? And he said, well, lawyers don't have hearts. Thanks, Richard. I'd like to start by saying that everyone's prayers, love, and well wishes for me and my family have made a huge difference. Thank you all. On Halloween, I suffered cardiac arrest in an event that I had less than a 10% chance of surviving. However, in the words of Albert Einstein, coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous. I did not even know Allison. I don't think I ever saw her before this class that I took, and she was instrumental in saving my life that day. I'd like to thank everyone that played a role in saving me that day and in my recovery. Mark, Karen, Allison, David all of the first responders the doctors and nurses at UK Chandler my beautiful wife and children and my family and friends and co-workers and also Father Norman Fisher thank you applause Mayor Gray, Vice Mayor Kay, members of council, to our first responders, on behalf of the YMCA of Central Kentucky, we say thank you. As you all know, the Y serves about 1,000 LFUCG employees, firefighters, police officers, and their families through participation here at the Y. and your family, the LFUCG family, becomes part of our family. And Dave and Susie are no different. Dave serves on our High Street YMCA Board of Directors and is at the Y nearly every day. And so we are thankful for all of you here who responded to Dave. the incredible doctors and support he received at UK, and certainly the grace of God. We are so grateful, Dave and Susie and the boys, that you all are here tonight. So on behalf of our YMCA, we want to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, John. All right. I'm going to take a couple of whisms here. Hold that. Nice and loud. Here. And one more. And Dave, you want to take some. Just a second. Hold that, guys. You do. Thanks. Just a second. Can I have the firewriter? If you were over to the back, I'd just like to see your face there. Can I do the same thing everywhere? Run quickly, please. Thank you. Thank you. There you go. You're ready to go. Thanks, guys. Yes, sir. That was great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I invite Commissioner Chris Ford to join me at the podium. And I'll ask the social workers who are with Chris tonight to move to the front of the chamber. While they're on their path to the front, I will mention that March is National Professional Social Work Month. Commissioner Ford shares stories with us often of the great work our city's social workers do. so I want to thank them tonight with this proclamation. And I'm going to read the proclamation. It says, Social Work Month, whereas the primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance well-being and help meet the needs, the basic needs of all people, especially the most vulnerable in society, and whereas social workers embody this year's National Social Work Month theme, social workers stand up by serving, advocating for, and empowering millions of Americans each day. And whereas our city's Department of Social Services employs over 30 social work professionals whose training and ethical standards help promote the values of compassion, compliance, coordination, and consistency. Therefore, I, Jim Gray, as mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare March 2017 as Social Work Month in Lexington. There we go. Thank you. And Commissioner Chris Ford. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor, and good evening, Councilmembers. On behalf of our Department of Social Services, I thank you for recognizing National Social Work Month and the contributions of social work professionals to our local communities. Social work is embodied in all areas of our society, from local schools, the university community, our many local human service agencies and organizations, as well as health care facilities. But this evening I am extremely proud to join in saluting the commitment and dedication of our social work team we have here at Urban County Government. As Mayor Gray mentioned, our department has over 30 social work professionals in all four operating divisions, aging services, adult and tenant services, family services, and youth services, as well as in community-based programs of substance abuse and violence intervention, domestic violence prevention. Three of our division directors are social workers by trade, and they join our team that's standing up front. That's Connie Godfrey, Stephanie Hall, and Joanna Rose. So in closing, thanks again for your longstanding support by allowing our Department of Social Services to be a platform where social workers stand up in service to our neighbors and constituents. Thanks again, Mayor and Council. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, okay. All right. Next, I'd like to invite Becky Mercier from the Lexington Club of Altruza International to join me at the podium, and all the members of Altruza to come up here in front. Who are here? I have three. You have three? That's great, Becky. Three of the 60 are here. Thank you all. So, Altruza International is a group of executive and professional women dedicated to improving their communities through service. The Lexington Club works to make our city better throughout the year, collecting items for monthly baskets to support local charities, such as the Hope Center, New Opportunity School for Women, and Thursday's Child. And that's just to name a few. Tonight, we want to commemorate Altruza International's 100th anniversary with a special proclamation thanking them for their generous service both here and around the world. I'm going to read it and then ask Becky to share a few thoughts with us. This reads, Altruza Awareness Day, whereas Altruza, the first community service organization in the world for professional women, was established April 11, 1917. And whereas Altruza has worked for the betterment of women, children, and their communities around the world for 100 years. and whereas the Lexington Altruza Club was formed in Lexington in September 1923 and has served our community for 94 years and whereas members of the Lexington Club and members of other Altruza Clubs around the world are dedicated to fostering and providing the best in character, business, and citizenship and have made their communities better by giving their time, talents, and resources. Therefore, I, Jim Gray, as mayor of Lexington, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Altruza Club and the 94th anniversary of the Lexington Club, do hereby declare April 11, 2017 as Altruza Awareness Day in Lexington. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you, mayor and vice mayor and council. It's our pleasure to be here, and we feel honored that this proclamation would be made at such a timely time for us. It's kind of coming back home to me as I could have joined the other group as I retired from the Department of Social Services here. But this is also one of the homes of Altruza in Lexington. Between the Lafayette Hotel and the Phoenix Hotel is where a group of women who had lunch regularly had heard about Altruza and decided to develop an Altruza club here. So there's been many district conferences held in this building and many dinners and special occasions at the old Phoenix Hotel. Our group is 60 plus strong women between the ages of the late 20s to 90s doing many projects as the mayor had talked about. That was just a few to name. We gave over 7,000 hours of volunteer work to this community last year and about $15,000 in in-kind or cash donations. So a very active club. I've got a few brochures. I will leave with the clerk here instead of taking up your precious time talking about all of the, I think, very neat things that we do in this community. So thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you. Nice smile. One more time. Thank you. Okay. Our next proclamation, for our next proclamation, I want to invite Council Member Evans and the Read Across America Committee to join me at the podium. Are they here? Including the cat in the hat? Oh, the cat in the hat's going to come up. Yeah, it's going to go up front. Okay. All right. All right. Maybe everybody, yeah. That's fine. That's good. You all think right there. Okay. The Fayette County Education Association, the Fayette County Education Support Professionals Association, and the Fayette County Public Schools are celebrating Dr. Seuss' 113th birthday this weekend by sponsoring their eighth annual Read Across America event. It will take place this Saturday from 10 to 3 at Fayette Mall in front of Dillard's and will feature celebrity readers, photo opportunities with the cat in the hat, and other characters and goodie bags for children. We wanted to commemorate the occasion the way cities do, with a proclamation. Accepting the proclamation on behalf of Read Across America are Ann Caldwell, Lorna Cloyd, Kyla Trahan and the cat in the hat alias Janet Cartmill alright let me read the proclamation read across America Day whereas strong reading skills help students success in the classroom and workers succeed in the workplace and whereas literacy is essential to our community's well-being and long term quality of life and whereas the National Education Association's Read Across America Day program this year celebrating the 113th birthday of Dr. Seuss on March the 2nd promotes reading and adult involvement in student education and whereas we endorse the National Education Association's Read Across America Day program. Therefore, I, Jim Gray, as mayor of Lexington, in celebration of reading and in thanks for Lexington's teachers who help all citizens learn to read do hereby declare March 2nd, 2017 as Read Across America Day in Lexington. There we go. Thank you all. Councilmember Evans. I just have a few words. Thank you for that, Mayor. This has been a program that I've been involved in probably three or four years now, officially at this point. But my mother is an educator, and pretty much all of my surrogate mothers are educators and have always been involved in the Fayette County Education Association as well as the Kentucky Education Association that sponsors this. So it's a great day of reading. Kids from all over come. And it's just a fun day for everybody. So I'd encourage you all to please stop by and perhaps even sign up next year to be a reader. Miss Kentucky usually comes and beats me at all the kids. So I can't really compete with the crown, but it's fun. So we had the chief. I believe both previous chiefs come and read. And apparently Vice Mayor Kay is going to read as well this year. Thank you. So, yeah, bring your kids out and grandchildren. However, it is a fun day. So thank you for this, Mayor. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right. Next on our agenda, ordinances for a second reading. Madam Clerk, please begin with the ordinances for a second reading.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. I'll ask for a motion to approve second reading of ordinances. Is there a motion to approve? Motion by Council Member Henson, second by Council Member Plowman. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. I want to take a moment to make some comments in opposition to Ordinance No. 4 that's receiving its second reading tonight. You know, in different parts of the country and in different conversations that are ongoing, there's a conversation about assault on the freedom of the press or assault on free speech or getting it right and doing it right, and that's happening right here in Lexington. It's not happening anywhere else. It's happening right here. and it's happening to a local business that is both venerable and vulnerable at this time. And I think it is improper for us to step into this business mode with this entity in this way, and I think that it will be unsuccessful, as will my vote against it, as I doubt there are eight others like it. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Farmer. Councilmember Lamb? Thank you, Mayor. I, too, just want to express my concern. I've expressed it all along that I have concerns with Ordinance No. 4 and the enforcement of it. I realize that there are other components on it, but I will not be able to support it for that reason in itself. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Lamb. Council Member Evans. Thank you, Mayor. I, too, would like to speak on No. 4. Yeah, I've said, along with Councilmember Farmer and Councilmember Lamb, I do think there are severe issues with this ordinance, quite frankly, because it doesn't fix the complaint that we get. And that is my main problem with this. The concern is people not picking up the distribution. And we certainly cannot stop it from being delivered. I know that's what perhaps a lot of the public wants, but that is not an option that we have. So all we can address is how they're collected. And I don't think this ordinance addresses that problem at all. And I believe that's the problem, the calls and complaints that we get. So I too would be in opposition of item number four because of those reasons. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Evans. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. I concur with my colleagues. I've thought about this for a long time, and I understand the concerns that we have about our stormwater systems, but I also understand that this is about the First Amendment as well. And the more I thought about it, I do think, as my colleagues have indicated, this is an enforcement issue, and I can't support this either today. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Soddy. That's all the council members who have signed on to speak. All right, that allows us to move to the question and the vote. And Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Mr. Gibbs. Yes, I know. Ms. Henson. Yes. Ms. Higgins. Yes. Vice Mayor Kaye. Yes. Ms. Lamb. Yes on all, no on number four. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Massadi? Yes on all, no on number four. Ms. Plumman? Yes. Ms. Gutchfield? Yes. Mr. Stennett? Yes on all, no on four. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. Ms. Evans? No on four. Yes on the remaining. And Mr. Farmer. No on four. Yes on the rest. All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The vote reflects passage of the motion and allows us to move on to ordinances for a first read. Whenever you're ready, Madam Clerk. Thank you. An ordinance admitting certain of the budget to the Lexington Bay and Army County Government to reflect current requirements for funds in the amount of $50,616 in the Division of Traffic Engineering from the Council Project's funds for driver and pedestrian safety improvements on Reed Lane between Southport Drive and Lafayette Parkway and appropriating and reappropriating funds to Schedule No. 40.
