The meeting addressed two agenda items, including a recognition ceremony for the Lexington Division of Police Explorers Post #357 and consideration of a curfew ordinance amendment. The council conducted two votes during the session, with the curfew ordinance amendment receiving approval. No public comments were heard during this meeting, and one informational presentation was given regarding the police explorers program. ## Attendance The following members were present at the meeting on April 13, 2017: • Higgins • Kay • Lamb • Moloney • Mossotti • Plomin • Scutchfield • Stinnett • Bledsoe • F.

This contract covers the second phase of facilities maintenance building improvements for the LFD (Local Fire Department). **Advanced Electronic IED Disablement Training and Equipment** - Contract 0404-17 was approved with Special Electronics, Inc. for $32,843.34. This contract provides specialized training and equipment for advanced electronic improvised explosive device (IED) disablement capabilities. Both contracts represent investments in critical infrastructure and public safety capabilities, with the facilities maintenance project representing the larger financial commitment at nearly half a million dollars. ## Appointments The meeting included several appointments to the Bluegrass Crime Stoppers organization. **Reappointments:** • Brian Burton was reappointed to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers **New Appointments:** • Manlus Burton was appointed to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers • Mark Thomas was appointed to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers These appointments reflect the ongoing commitment to maintaining active membership on the Bluegrass Crime Stoppers board, with one member continuing their service through reappointment and two new members joining the organization. ## Contested Items The council faced one significant contested issue during the April 13, 2017 meeting that resulted in a divided vote among members. **Curfew Ordinance Amendment** The primary point of contention involved a proposed amendment to the existing curfew ordinance. Council members debated whether to move the curfew time earlier from 1:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. The discussion revealed a sharp division among the 15-member council regarding the appropriate curfew time for the community. The debate centered on the merits of implementing a stricter curfew schedule, with supporters arguing for the earlier 12:00 a.m. cutoff time while opponents favored maintaining the current 1:00 a.m. curfew. The close nature of the vote reflected the genuine disagreement among council members about the best approach to curfew enforcement. After deliberation, the council voted 8-7 in favor of adopting the amendment, making 12:00 a.m. the new curfew time. The narrow margin of victory—decided by just one vote—highlighted the contentious nature of this policy change and the difficulty the council faced in reaching consensus on this community safety issue. The split vote demonstrates that nearly half of the council members had reservations about moving to the earlier curfew time, suggesting ongoing concerns about the impact and necessity of the stricter policy. ## Recognizing the Lexington Division of Police Explorers Post #357 [timestamp: 02:00] Mayor Gray and Councilmember Mossotti presented agenda item 0411-17 to recognize the achievements of the Lexington Division of Police Explorers Post #357. The presentation resulted in the official declaration of April 13, 2017, as Police Explorer's Post #357 Day in Lexington. The Police Explorers program provides young people with hands-on experience and education about law enforcement careers. Post #357 represents the local chapter of this national youth development program operated in partnership with the Lexington Division of Police. During the presentation, Mayor Gray and Councilmember Mossotti highlighted the accomplishments and contributions of the Explorer post members. The recognition ceremony acknowledged the dedication and achievements of the young participants in the program. The agenda item was informational in nature, serving as a formal acknowledgment of the Police Explorers' work in the community. No debate or concerns were raised during the presentation, as the item focused on celebrating the youth program's positive impact. The declaration of Police Explorer's Post #357 Day provides official recognition of the program's value to both the participants and the broader Lexington community. This type of proclamation demonstrates the city's support for youth development programs that build connections between young people and public safety professionals. ## Curfew Ordinance Amendment The council considered Ordinance 0131-17, which proposed amendments to the existing curfew regulations for minors [timestamp: 03:00]. The primary change under discussion involved adjusting the curfew time from 1:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. During the discussion, several council members participated in the debate. Stinnett, Moloney, and Evans were among the key speakers who addressed various aspects of the proposed amendment. Chief Barnard also provided input during the proceedings, likely offering perspective from law enforcement regarding the practical implications of the curfew change. The council deliberated on moving the curfew time one hour earlier, which would require minors to be off the streets by midnight rather than 1:00 a.m. A formal motion was made to implement this change to 12:00 a.m. Following the discussion, the council proceeded to a roll call vote on the ordinance amendment. The measure was approved, meaning the new curfew time of 12:00 a.m. for minors will take effect as specified in the ordinance. The passage of Ordinance 0131-17 represents a modification to the city's approach to juvenile curfew enforcement, establishing midnight as the new cutoff time for minors to be in public spaces without adult supervision. --- ## Decisions - **0131-17** — passed (8-7): Amend curfew ordinance to change curfew time to 12:00 a.m. - **0225-17** — passed (14-0): Zone change for properties on Chair Ave and S. Broadway --- ## Full transcript And my passion rises high, you're loving me so easy, your wish is my command. Just hold me close and love me, tell me it won't end.

Our invocation tonight is being offered by Laura Babbage, who is chaplain at the University of Kentucky Medical Center and who is a real inspiration to all of us. and she is the guest who's been invited by Councilmember Plowman and Kathy asked if she could have a few words of introduction as well. So, Councilmember Plowman. Thank you, Mayor. It is our privilege tonight to have Chaplain Laura Babbage with us. Like the Mayor said, she is an inspiration. She's a very inspirational speaker because we've all heard her at different venues in our town. But one thing I wanted to add as to why it's such an opportunity to have her with us And about eight months ago, many of you know this in their community, Laura was in France, and she was on a bike trip with her youngest son, her and Bob's youngest son, Brian. And she had just a very, very serious accident. She was flown to Grenoble, where she stayed for a few weeks, a few days, and then we got her back. She came back to Lexington to the U.K. Medical Center. and is a result of a lot of prayers from thousands of our community members in the state, all over the country. But with her perseverance, her I can do it attitude, Laura is here with us today and she will share her inspiration with us. And thank you, Laura, for being here. Chaplain Laura Babbage. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mayor, Kathy, Council. I am honored to be here. Please join me in prayer as you are able. Let me begin by saying that I have prayed for each of you by name in the last several weeks. Each day in my prayer I have spoken your names aloud and prayed for you and your families that you will be inspired and strengthened to make good decisions for your families and our community. I know I have been the recipient of many of your good thoughts and prayers after my cycling accident and it has truly made a difference in my life I am here tonight in part to thank you and our amazing community for your prayers for my family and for me and so I say thank you I invite you now to close your eyes if you're comfortable and take a deep breath in and out, breathing in all that is good and holy and helpful. and breathing out the stress, anxiety, concerns, anything you brought here tonight that could cause an impediment between you and the holy. We know that our preparation for prayer is prayer itself, and so I invite you now to take another deep breath in and out. Loving and faithful God, thank you for our dedicated mayor, council members, staff, and all those here tonight. We know that you have endowed each with gifts and blessings. We ask now that you continue to strengthen all those who possess power and influence, that they may avoid the sin of indifference. embolden them even more to use their gifts and talents for the work that needs doing continue to fill their hands and hearts with every good gift we ask this in your holy name Amen Amen Thank you Thank you so much, Laura and Bob. Welcome to you as well, sir. I often say now when we have guests for invocation, we invite you to stay, but please don't fill the obligation. Thank you all. Next on our agenda is minutes of the previous meeting, and I'll ask for a motion to approve. Is there a motion to approve? Second. Motion by Council Member Scotchfield, second by Council Member Farmer. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Lamb. Mayor, sorry about that. I was trying to keep mindful. I wanted to amend the motion to postpone the approval of the January 19, 2017 zone change meeting minutes until the 27th so that some corrections can be made on that. I so move. Second. All right, motion to postpone the, this is a motion to amend the original motion. All right, so a motion to amend by Council Member Lamb, second by Council Member Farmer. Is there any discussion on the motion to amend to remove the January 19th zone change meetings? Mayor. Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Mayor. I would just add, along with Council Member Lamb, in those minutes, I think a change in policy has occurred, and I'm not sure when it happened, but when we vote on electronic vote and someone doesn't push, a council member doesn't push yes or no, it's being recorded as we didn't vote. And I think that's very different from how we voted in the past. So we need to correct those minutes and go back and make sure we reflect whether the council member actually voted by how they voted orally because there's not a requirement to actually have to push yes or no. The clerk usually does it, and then during committee meetings, our administrator does it, and we don't need to call a vote until we make sure everyone's chimed in. if that's going to be the case. So if we can make sure we correct that going forward, that would be great. Clerk, you got that? I'll make a note of this comment and I'll discuss it with Martha. All right. Any further discussion on the motion to amend? All right. If not, then we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. The motion carries. All right. Back to the original motion. Is there any further discussion on the original motion? All right. If not, then we can vote all in favor. Please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Motion as amended carries. All right. Next we have a presentation and have a number of guests. I'm going to ask Council Member Massati to join me at the podium. How are you? Cheesecake, I see. That would have to fortify us with this. All right. Councilman Massadi and I, we want to invite all the explorers from Post 357 who are at the back of the chambers to come up front, to the front of the chambers, please. You can carry a stick that's similar, but they don't use it at the same time. Y'all are very impressive. Sorry. We have a lot of smiling members of our police department in the back, including the chief. Back in February, the Lexington Division of Police, explorers from Post 357 here in Lexington, and went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee to be a part of the world's largest competition for law enforcement and fire service explorers. These explorers competed and performed really well in several categories, making us all very proud. We're excited to announce tonight that they came back home with the first place award in the Class A uniform inspection and in the officer down scenario. That's a really big deal. Let's give them a big hand. So before I ask Council Member Massadi to offer some remarks, I want to congratulate all of these explorers, and we would like to honor them tonight with a proclamation which I'm going to read. It says, Whereas the Lexington Division of Police Explorers Post 357 recently attended the Boy Scouts, of America Winterfest, the largest gathering of Boy Scouts ages 14 and over in the United States, and whereas more than 3,000 young people participated in this weekend of fun and friendly competition, and whereas Post 357 earned first place in the officer down scenario and in the Class A uniform inspection, now therefore I, Jim Gray, as Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare April 13, 2017, as Lexington Division of Police Explorers post 357 day in Lexington. Congratulations to you all. Now, thank you. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. You can see why these young men and women got the award for the best Class A uniform inspection. You're a great-looking group, and congratulations. I know that you were very excited to win first place in both of those different events, We just want to say again congratulations to you. Great honor. Glad you're here. It's a terrific award and well deserved. Thank you. Alright, let's take some pictures. If you all will pull back toward the... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all again for joining us. Is it working? Is it working? All right. I'm going to call on Council Member Stennett for a motion. Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Mayor. Council Members, as you know, tonight we had planned a public hearing in regards to the ED Zota text amendment at the request of the owners, and that was the reason why we were scheduling the public hearing so they can express concerns and or possible changes to the ordinance. The owners, planning staff, and other interested parties have been working diligently to come up with an agreeable solution that could also be presented to council in lieu of what's on our docket tonight. So in a spirit of giving them the opportunity to get that accomplished, we're not required to have a public hearing on this matter, So I'll make a motion to cancel tonight's public hearing and move the second reading of Ordinance 1081-16, an ordinance amending Article 23A-10 of the zoning ordinance to allow for new land uses within the expansion area, to the April 27th council meeting at 6 p.m. So moved. Motion by Council Member Stenet, seconded by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion, Vice Mayor Kay? Thank you. Mayor, since some of us on council have not seen this motion, Council Member Stinnard, if you would explain what has changed. You made the original motion to have a hearing, and now you don't want to have a public hearing. Can you just kind of fill us in? Yeah, as I said in my comments, the owners of the land, of the two ED zones, the planning staff and other parties have been working behind the scenes to try to come up with something that they all could live with and present to council as it regards to the uses of the ED zone. So the owners are requesting postponement along with planning staff so they can continue that work and have something to council within the next couple weeks. The public hearing was in response to the owners of the land asking to comment to council as well as other folks in regards to what the Planning Commission approved. But they're working behind the scenes, and they ask for another couple weeks. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Vice Mayor. 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. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Thank you. We can now move on to ordinances for a second reading. Madam Clerk, if you'll please give us a second reading of ordinances. Ordinance number one, an ordinance amending the classified civil service authorized strength by abolishing two positions of project manager senior grade 519E and creating two positions of project manager... Madam Clerk, let me help. It's really hard to hear you. Can you... Is that better? Pull the microphone up closer. Thank you. I'll start that over. Thank you. 45Net, .79 gross acres for properties located at 411 Chair Avenue and 410 DeRude Street and 603, 607, 615, 617 and 619 South Broadway. Bernard Jeffrey and Patricia M. Queen amended Council District 3. Item 3, an ordinance amending Section 1437 of the Code of Ordinances of the Lexington Theater and County Government relating to curfew for minors amending definitions of minor, remain and allow, amending curfew time to 1 o'clock a.m. for all days and deleting exceptions for reasonable necessity, sidewalk adjacent residents inside a motor vehicle and homeless youth. Item 4, an ordinance changing the zone from a high-density apartment R4 is going to a high-rise up. Hold on, Mayor. This is on item 3. All right. Council Member Stenner. Thank you, Mayor. I know this is the curfew ordinance as it's being asked to amend all days of the week until 1 a.m. In this ordinance, as it's written, it allows for an hour at the end of curfew if a child is involved. Again, we're talking about folks under the age of 18. If they're involved in school activities or work, they still have an hour by the time they either are finished with that school activity or work to get home. So my concern is the 1 a.m. I don't think it's necessary in any child. We're talking 17 and under. Out on our public streets. It doesn't say they can't go to a friend's house. It just says public streets to 1 a.m. is just unacceptable and unreasonable. So I will make a motion to amend the 1 a.m. time for curfew to midnight, 12 a.m., I guess it would be in this case. So moved. Second. All right. A motion by Council Member Stennett to amend number three. And the second was by Council Member Maloney. All right. Is there any discussion on the motion? Yes. Council Member Evans? All right. Council Member. Council Member Hanson. Thank you, Mayor. So, Council Member Stennett, you said that if the curfew is at midnight and they're involved in an activity or work, they still have an hour? From the time that school activity ends or that their work ends, they would still have an hour to get home and not be involved in the curfew. Okay. Regardless of what we said at 1 a.m. I don't want to legislate the good kids, and I don't want to legislate parenting, because we could set perimeters around the age of a child, but I'll support your motion. Thank you. Councilman Maloney. Thank you. I support the motion even though I have a problem when you have 8 year olds, 9 year olds 10 year olds that can still stay out until 1 o'clock out there and personally I don't feel comfortable with them out at 12 o'clock but I will support this motion but just to realize everybody this is not for 17 year olds this is for 8, 9, 10 5, whatever if they're out there and you pass at the 1 o'clock and you're sitting with a 5-year-old or 6-7-year-old kid out there playing around or 9-year-old or 10-year-old, they're not breaking the law because their curfew don't until 1 o'clock. So I still think we, I'm still and I understand the work. I think what Council Member Stenner said about the work, I think it takes care of everybody's needs. But 1 o'clock is just ridiculous. So I'm going to support this motion too. Council Member Evans. I won't support the motion. Oh, heavens. This is loud. It's my understanding that on the weekend, we had a curfew or still have a curfew of 1 a.m. So that curfew is already on the books. so now we're going back to the problem that our own officers were talking about was switching or perhaps switching the days and now I don't understand I feel like this is going backwards when 1am was already on the books for a time so if we felt that it was a decent time for all these years it's been in place why we're backtracking it now and I think we've lost some common sense in this scenario I can't think of any police officer that would not at least go to a 9-year-old or a 10-year-old who's on the street at 10 a.m. by themselves and question what's going on. I mean, we have a police force that does care, and I just can't imagine that happening or not happening, that they wouldn't be concerned about a child that's just randomly out there. And again, 1 a.m. is what we've already had, so we're actually trying to make it easier for the officers to enforce that. And again, let's go back to this is just one tool in a toolbox that we have. This is not going to solve the problem. It's just one more thing that can be used to educate neighbors and parents as well. But when we had a committee that went through this and had those discussions and came out with, well, let's just at least make it easier for officers to have one time to enforce Monday through Sunday, I don't understand why we're trying to go backwards just because we think the bad kids are going to be out there. And I would all do respect, Council Member Henson, I kind of resent that term. that you don't know what kids are out there. Just because a kid is out past curfew does not make them a bad child. It doesn't mean that they're up to no good. You don't know why they're out there. So I think we're putting our own personal stereotypes into this, and I think 1 a.m. was the number, the time that came out of committee. I think we should keep it that way just for the sake of an equal enforcement every day of the week. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Evans. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. Chief Barnard, would you mind coming to the podium, please? Yes, sir. Yeah. That was the request. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. We had this discussion before, and I specifically asked you the questions about the different times. And you said consistency was an issue, and you felt you could support this, and now we're changing our minds here. So I want to hear what you have to say about this, your response. I appreciate that. Consistency is what we talked about. The ordinance previously had hours that were very difficult for the officers to go back and for the people in the public to understand. consistency, whatever time we're selecting is the hours that we're looking for. So it's not Monday night versus Saturday night versus a Sunday night. Because those nights sometimes aren't just on weekends, it could be spring break week. And so you might have the same events occurring that would happen on a Friday or Saturday night on a Monday night. I see this ordinance mostly being used as a tool. Something that we would go out and use as complaint driven. We are experiencing a high number of stolen vehicles now with juveniles in them where they are running from us. They let the vehicles roll off and strike a building or strike another vehicle. Then we end up getting in a foot pursuit. And this would be another way of documenting and allowing the county attorney's office to put someone in touch with that parent and saying your child was involved in some type of activity and was out past the curfew. So when I'm looking at the ordinance that you all are providing us, I look at it as a way, as another tool and a belt that the officers can use in helping identifying people that are out past the times that you all designate. Whether it's 12 or whether it's 1, the important thing for us is consistency. And quite honestly, between that hour that you all are discerning for us, most of the things happen usually after those times anyway, 11 o'clock. And I understand what Council Member Stinnett is saying, but 12 o'clock versus 1 o'clock, it may not be on a weekend. So if we have spring break or during the summer, kids are in school. And 1 o'clock in the morning at a school night is pretty late. But in the summertime, what we see with the activity when kids aren't in school and they're not at other activities, it is something they're out. So for us, whatever time you all select and go through, as long as it's consistent for us, consistent for the officers, we'll utilize it. The bait going back and forth on the time, I think everybody has. My parents always said nothing good happened after 12. Growing up in my career, most of that I've seen. But times change and kids are out later. But most of the young juvenile crime that we're encountering now is later on in the evening. And most of the things, I promise you, most of the things that we're encountering are probably at 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock in the morning. So it depends how you're framing this. If you want to frame it for the criminal activity that's really occurring or if you're using it for a deterrence for kids that may be going out later on. Like my kids, they'll yell at me for saying this, but they snuck out of the house too. So I use that as a deterrence against them. So that happens. So it depends how you want to frame the ordinance. Well, I don't dispute the necessity of the ordinance at all. But now we're changing times. And so I want your professional opinion on the peak time that you feel this ordinance would best serve. I mean, I know it's summer coming. The kids are going to be out later. There's no question about that. I think if I was being very conservative about it, I would pick 12, and that would give us some lead way. And being able to look at it if it's 12, 30, or 1 o'clock, that gives us the officer's lead way. Honestly, if it's 12 and we have someone with that time frame, that's a discretion to get hold of the parent. And if that child's involved in some type of criminal behavior, it allows us to take an action. So that would work for us either way. You're not helping me here. I'm just trying to think, as I said, with summer coming, and I'm thinking 1 o'clock because kids are out late, they work late. Is it more advantageous to have it a little bit later than rather earlier just because of summer months? I'm not going to get, you're not going to get council members in trouble. I'm just trying to, well, we've gone back and forth on this. I'm trying to be honest with you and say, if we have a young adult, 17 years old, leaving work, that is not, and the curfew is at 12, and we encounter that young adult at 17 and said, look, I'm leaving work right now. I'm working and trying to get home, and I've been earning a paycheck. That's not someone we want to introduce into criminal justice apparatus. Exactly. So I think our officers are good enough with that discretion that even if you make it at 12, we're going to understand that this ordinance is a deterrence to make sure that young people aren't out doing things they're not supposed to be doing. I think that's what you are looking at. I get it. I understand it completely. I'm just trying to determine, like everyone else is, what's the best time, what's the most effective time for you and your police officers, in your judgment? I would say if the ordinance, and I'm just trying to piece it together right now, it's kind of on the spot, but if you make it at 12, it gives us a lead way to say something's going on at 1 o'clock. They can use that discretion. If you make it 1 o'clock, I don't have any lead way to deal with that child that's 12 o'clock that's out doing something. So I don't know if I can provide better guidance on that. I can just give you the examples that we're looking at and what we're faced with. I just thought maybe based upon experience, there was a time that you'd say, this is a peak. And we get most of our, as you're saying, most of your problems are happening after 2 a.m. in the morning, not between 12 and 1. The criminal activity is after 2 in the morning. So is this, pardon me? All right. If this uses a deterrent. So I guess it's all a matter of interpretation. Yes. Yes. All right. Thank you. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I think I understand what Council Member Stenet's going for with the amendment to this ordinance, but I think that this topic of conversation has come up in several neighborhood meetings, and there's a lot of neighborhoods that are concerned about it, and we've talked through the scenarios, and they seem to think that 1 o'clock is a good definitive time to give our officers a tool or the opportunity to engage young people that could be out for whatever reason at that time of the night. I think if we roll it back to 12 and give some flexibility, I think that's where we could get into some situations where questionable enforcement across our city could be construed about this ordinance. So I would support keeping it at 1 o'clock as a time for one, you know, Council Member Brown and his work with the committee and the group that he convened to look at this issue, that's what they came up with. I know they worked through various scenarios, talked to law enforcement, and they suggested 1 a.m. So I'm in support of keeping it at 1 a.m. And Council Member Brown, do you have anything that you want to say say about the time that y'all chose and the reasons why. Well, I guess not. But I support their recommendation with keeping it at 1 a.m. All right. Okay. Thank you, Council Member Brown and Council Member Brown. Vice Mayor Kaye. Thank you, Mayor. I'm going to agree with Council Member James Brown. This was vetted extensively, and we had an extensive conversation about it in committee. I went back and forth on the time. I am concerned that we not create a situation where we're essentially saying to young people who are out there for good reasons, reasonable reasons, just outside, that they are subject to criminal prosecution for being out after midnight. I think it's too severe. The chief has said that if they're causing trouble, it's more often going to be even later than that. If they are causing trouble before then, they're subject to the law whether there's a curfew or not. The curfew sets kind of a minimum. And I think it kind of sends the wrong message, I think, to our young people. It says you're not responsible. and we have to kind of institute a more restrictive policy for young folks. So I kind of understand what the concerns are and why the amendment was offered, but I'm going to be voting no. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Before I call on Council Member Scotchfield, I've got an event that I need to attend on behalf of the city and I'll be turning the chair over to Vice Mayor. Council Member Scotchfield. Thank you, Mayor. The whole reason we brought up this issue was because of a rash of violence with our youth. Several of our youth being shot, killed, several incidences that affected our young people. I don't think we go far enough. Chief, if I can ask you a question real quick. I mean, all this does is you can pick them up and take them home, correct? Can we actually give them a citation and is there something with that? Actually, you can't cite the juvenile. You have to cite the parent. And so we'll have to take the child back to the parent and cite the parent because you can't criminalize the curfew because it's not a criminalization offense. So actually we would take the child back to the parent and then cite the parent. Okay, and I guess my biggest concern is I don't think we go far enough with this. We're trying to protect our youth, our 10-year-olds, our 12-year-olds, our 16-year-olds. And what we're doing is saying, oh, well, we want to be consistent. That's fine. 12 o'clock, 11 o'clock. I think there's nothing good that's going on later. and what we want to do is have the ability to tell our kids, we want you all to be safe. We didn't change this ordinance at all, really. What we've done is made it during the week 12 o'clock, and during the week 1 o'clock, we actually went later as it's done, and on the weekends stayed the same. So we can give ourselves a pat on the back and say we're doing things for our kids, but we haven't changed this. We haven't done anything. We're not protecting our kids. We're not taking it that extra step. I'll support the amendment because at least it's something. But the kids that have good parents are not the ones. The kids that have parents that are watching out for their kids and know where they are are not the ones. We have to protect the other kids that the parents aren't watching out for. Thank you. Thank you. Can I ask Councilman, is there anybody else signed in to speak to this amendment? Everybody else who signed in? You're waiting for another issue. Is that correct? I want to clear these out. I'm sorry. I've got... Okay. It's nobody else signed up to speak. then I'll call a vote to amend ordinance number three to change, as I understand it, the curfew time from 1 a.m. to midnight. And Madam Clerk, if you would call the roll, please. Ms. Higgins? Yes. Vice Mayor Kay? No. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Massadi? No. I'm sorry, Ms. No. Ms. Plumman? No. Ms. Gutchfield? Yes.

It's not deleting. Okay. Does anybody wish to speak to the motion as amended? Vice Mayor, I'm not sure what you mean. Is the motion as amended? We just amended the ordinance that was on the docket. I'm sorry. The ordinance as amended. Okay. All right. Is there any further discussion? If not, then we don't need a vote at this time. Is that, we just. I guess we would need to ask the law department if that requires a new first reading. Changing the time to 12. No, sorry. No. That's not a material change. Not a material, so it can, it does not require a new first reading and stays on the docket as a second reading. Sorry. So she would just continue finishing the second readings and then we vote now.

I was just going to mention that I think at the last meeting I mentioned we were going, many of us were going out to Keeneland yesterday, and it was a back stable visit. We were not out there bedding. We were out there. Well, I'm going to add that. But we really did learn a lot about Keeneland. President of the King, one of the key folks were there with us, but the icing on the cake was that Frank Penn, he's a member of our planning commission, was with us, and he hit a horse in the fifth race. It came in first. We all bet on it. And we were in the winning circle with pictures of all of us with the horse. So we'll share those with you. I also just wanted to mention, I have a big cheesecake that one of our fighter fighters made, strawberry cheesecake. And if the rest of our council members don't eat it all, which none of them have yet, I'm going to bring it out here if anybody wants a piece of really, really good cheesecake from one of our firefighters. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. That would bring us down to, we have two police and one fire disciplinary items. First, the police commander, Guy Green. Thank you. On Monday, February 6th, an allegation was made to Officer Nathan Barks, 49316, violated General Order 1973-2-1, or I, disciplinary procedures, at-fault collisions. The allegation to Officer Nathan Barks has been involved in three at-fault collisions within a 12-month period. The collisions occurred on December 18, 2016, December 19, 2016, and February 2, 2017. At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee met with Chief Mark Barnard and has accepted a written reprimand and 80 hours home fleet suspension. The recommended discipline has also been approved by Public Safety Commissioner Ronnie Bassett. Move approval. Motion by Council Member Fimer. Second by Council Member Hanson. Any discussion on the motion? Yes. Councilmember Evans. Just to be clear, that discipline was recommended straight from the police chief that was not sent to the panel, correct? Correct. Thank you. Any further discussion on the motion? Councilmember James Brown. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I guess my question is, I know when incidents, I guess when there's a trigger with internal investigations, I think if an officer has multiple incidences and violence takes place, I think when it gets to a certain amount, there's some remediation or some investigation that kicks in. Is there something similar to that with vehicle incidences in the police department? There is, and the next one kind of leads into that. Okay. With minor accidents, we start with literacy counseling and progress. And it's over a certain amount of time, and the accidents, how many, it progresses. With this one, it got past the letter of counseling, which would be training, and it got into the discipline range. Okay. So how many triggers the counseling? Is there a certain number or is it just the severity of the incident, the accident? Combination. It depends on the driving characteristics. Okay. All right. Well, that's my question. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. I see no further discussion on the motion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. On Tuesday, February 13, 2017, an allegation was made that Officer Roman Sorrell, employee number 49219, violated General Order 1973-2I, disciplinary procedure, Appendix B, operational rules, operation of vehicles.

This violation was, he broke the computer use policy, and this has been approved by Commissioner Bastin. Thank you. Is there a motion? So moved. Motion by Councilmember Farmer, second by Councilmember Plowman. Discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you, sir.
