Okay. And then I had questions on number 14, and we moved so quick. I'm sorry. All right. All right. Well, let's dial back then. Okay. Go ahead, Councilmember Henson. But I believe this is Council District 9 has its own change. Okay, just a second. Councilman Massadi is trying to log in and a little bit of difficulty. Councilman Massadi, go ahead.

Motion carries. so i will council member henson i think we're having some difficulty logging on here yeah we are yeah the system is five minutes behind everything the system's like totally locked up and not even working so we're trying to get old-fashioned so we'll just just hold your hand up like in the old i had a question on number 14 for the planning either tracy or jim duncan thank you tracy can you tell me what this is this something an item that that council has discussed before previously. Are you referring to item 14? Yes, ma'am. No, it is a text amendment that the Planning Commission initiated at the request of the Division of Planning staff. It's related to conditional uses. There were a number of conditional uses that the staff felt could be moved to either principal uses or accessory uses to make the conditional use process smoother for many of the applicants that come in. Okay. I would prefer that this item be pulled from the docket, so I'll motion to place this item into planning and public safety so we can better get an idea of exactly what it is. I know you provided us with the material, but I failed to read it. I didn't have time. So since this is moving from conditional to principal or permitted uses, I would feel safer by knowing exactly what those items are. Motion by Council Member Henson and seconded by Council Member Maloney. Is there any discussion on the motion? No discussion. All right, then we can vote. All in favor of motion, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Tracy. Thank you, Mayor. There's a motion to approve this.

I don't know if the login is working now or not electronically, so if it doesn't look like it is so just hold up your hand Council member Farmer then councilmember there it is council member Fred Brown then council member Maloney thank you mayor my first one is on item D as in dog this is a termination agreement between ourselves and one that's one to confirm which railroad this license is is or was with as it didn't really say when you look at the map I kind of think i know but i wanted to make sure sir how are you hi uh this i believe is the norfolk southern railroad it is um there the railroad track that uh crosses man o war close to the to the lowe's and walmart uh off of nicholasville road okay um the the property i think is still owned by uk farms there that all the vacant property there at that intersection which would would be the southwest corner of man of war and Nicholasville Road. For some reason or another, somebody got an encroachment for that railroad track to put a sewer through. We got a bill for it, and so we checked these things pretty closely, and all of a sudden it's like, well, we don't have a sewer there. So we went back and forth with the railroad, and finally they said, in order for us to accept you not paying us, you need to pass a resolution that releases this, which is why we're here. It's not in use. All right. Very good. Thank you. And then the other one for me is on item R. This is the agreement for traffic control products for new central advanced traffic management system. And if you read the one pager in here, it talks about safe and efficient operation of the signal system will be improved through the use of wireless radio and fiber optic cable. It's kind of a new brain of some sort, isn't it? It's a new and better brain for our signal system. Well, that and the $835,000 price tag attracted my attention. It should be good at that price tag. So will this implement fairly quickly, over a period of months? Yes, we're kind of in a hurry because some of their federal funding ends in December for that project. So we're trying to fast track it, get the central system installed, and then work on our field units for the rest of the year. Very good. We'll get you two readings. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Council Member Fred Brown. My question was R also, so it's answered. Okay. Okay. Council Member Maloney. My questions are, too, I want to hit on R one more time. Jeff, come back up. Traffic has been real bad lately in Lexington. I know schools back in, I know that universities back in, but I have to admit this is probably the worst I've seen traffic in a long time. Usually I hear my constituents, but now I'm complaining about it, and I'm just hoping, Is this going to help out a great deal with the signal system we have and all that that you all have been having some problems with? Is this going to help out that traffic problem? Well, some of the problems are not going to be fixed by the system. You know, there's a lot of lane closures. First two weeks of school is always bad. This will let us know exactly what's going on in the street better than we do now. Because I know one thing, traffic. And another interesting thing that I didn't know was the app, this app thing that somebody, GPS will tell you where you are. They've got a new app system out now that if you push where you want to go home, it'll tell you to go through these neighborhoods now instead of hitting the main door. I mean, have you all gotten any complaints on that? I mean, I know they had an impact on traffic getting into these neighborhoods a lot more than they've ever been before. but if you all getting feedback on that app because i know in other cities they're an outlaw and i'm not saying i'm going to outlaw anything i'm just wondering if you all had any problems with those apps i think i think you're talking about ways huh are you talking about ways it's a it's a software yeah where it tells you you know how traffic's good doing it's amazing i had a friend of mine took me around in town and told me there'll be a car broke down on the right side and i mean we drove 50 feet and it told me to tell us to go through chinois nothing to get is Bill Farmer, but not to go through Main Street, but go through Chinoaig, Cooper. They tell us everything. We're going to go through all these neighborhoods because of the traffic problems and all that. I'm just curious if that has an impact on... It certainly is changing things. A lot more information is available to the drivers, and so they can make different decisions depending on what time of day it is. Well, I just noticed traffic is worse than I've ever seen it all over the place. and and i and i'm glad we brought this up because i'm going to bring in my council report on something similar to traffic issue but i just wanted to let it i'm just hoping this i know it's not going to fix the problem immediately but i just want to be sure it improved the problem you can never fix traffic from but you can improve it and i just hope that this is going to work this will give us a better toolbox to use to do there's traffic issues thank you All right. Anybody else wish to speak in discussion? Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I've got a question about item M. Dr. Burton. I think it looks like you're asking for an extension for this funding for this project. Yes. Is that going to be enough time? And what phase is this project in? Has it been designed yet? We're still wrapping up design. We've got some pretty large utility impacts there. We're still working with KU and the gas company to resolve those. This is just an extension of the grant so that we can continue on working on this. It comes in one-year intervals, so we're just extending that. It's just a matter of pushing paperwork, to be honest. But we are in design. We're going to meet with utilities, I believe it's next week, to try to resolve some of those utility issues. because, again, it's a gas line and KU. We're impacting KU right where we had planned to have our drainage. So we're working through those challenges first. And then once that's done, we'll be able to have a public meeting and get public input from the local citizens. We've already had some interest in it. And then once that's done, we'll be able to put it in construction. Okay. What's your tentative timeline for this project design and then maybe start a construction? So assuming we could have the design worked out this fall, uh... and there's not any uh... right away acquisition which that's the part that's still near with utilities uh... then we would probably let it uh... early spring or summer of next year so in that in this funding includes some of that right away purchase of we know excuse me no because we have to apply for the funding as we get to each individual phase so once we get the design phase complete will apply for the right away phase and once we get the right away phase complete apply for the construction phasing That's why I say, assuming everything works out perfect, late next summer we should be able to start a construction. Worst case, it would be the following spring, I believe. Okay. All right, thank you. Right now, they've got it. All right, thank you, Council Member Brown. Any further discussion? All right. If not, then we can vote. All in favor, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next on our agenda, continuing business. Is there a motion regarding the NDF? Motion by Council Member Scutchfield to approve, second by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? Hearing none, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next on our agenda is a committee summary of the Public Safety and Planning Committee by Councilmember Scutchfield. Thank you, Mayor. I'm going to, you all have the summary in your packet. I will go over a brief overview of what we discussed. This was the June 13th Planning and Public Safety Committee. We had a motion to approve the May 9th summary, and then we moved some of the items around to have an item go before number three on the list. Myron Thompson with the Fayette County Public Schools Development Plan, he's the director of operations for Fayette County Public Schools, presented the Public Schools Development Plan to give an update. We hope to have this as something we do on a regular basis moving forward as the school continues to expand in the city and there was no active item that was no action was taken on this item next councilmember Massadi brought forth the zoning map amendment pre-meeting with affected neighborhoods if the presentation was given by Jim Duncan Cliff Ashburner also appeared to give some supplemental information on the matter there was lively discussion with No action was taken on this item at that time. It will be brought back into committee at a later time. Councilmember Evans brought forward officer turnover and corrections. Presentation was given by Steve Haney and Deputy Director Carter. There was no action taken on this item as well. Code enforcement update. Street access to fire safety were continued to a later time, and there were no further actions or discussion on the items referred and our meeting was adjourned. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Scotchfield. Next is Council Member Farmer and the five-year waste management plan report out, committee report out, environmental quality and public works. Thank you, Mayor. This is a partial summary from our meeting, which actually was last week, but for regulatory purposes, we wanted to do a readout of the five-year solid waste plan so that we can pass it through here and have your signature on it before the 1st of October. Tracy Thurman, director, presented an update on the five-year solid waste management plan for 2018 through 2022. She said this plan includes a summary of current waste management programs and initiatives for the next five years. She reviewed the public notice and comment period. She also discussed the collection and disposal services. She reviewed the achievements within the last five-year plan period. Then, Councilmembers really only made very positive comments about her work and the work of her division. And that really ends. There was a motion by Councilmember Mazzotti to move this forward, seconded by Councilmember Plowman, and that passed without dissent. And I would so move on behalf of the committee. Thank you. Thank you. Motion by Councilmember Farmer, second by Councilmember Henson. Councilmember Lamb, I'm going into discussion now. Councilmember Lamb. Councilmember Farmer, is there a document that outlines the five-year plan? Yes, in last week's packet. I don't think it's before you now. Oh. If there's discomfort with that. No, we received it, and I just didn't. Obviously, I'll go back to last week's and look at it. Well, I mean, we're voting to put it on, and there's plenty of time between now and when it's docketed to have input or to give other thought. I noticed that it wasn't in here, but I chose to move forward rather than to ask for more paper. Is it in a form of a resolution or ordinance, or is it just the plan? I think it's just the plan, and the resolution would be to adopt the plan on behalf of the government. Okay, all right. I just wanted to... I'll make sure that it gets sent out via email via these comments right now. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks. All right. Any further discussion? If not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you. That's all, Mayor. Thank you, sir. Next is Council Reports. Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to bring up, I'm glad we had a discussion about traffic problems and all that, But the biggest concern I have is the budget, as you all know, and the future of Lutzen. And if we continue to go with 60% of our general fund is paying for police and fire. And the presentation that we saw last couple weeks ago, that our population is supposed to go up to 150,000 in the next 20 years. and and I look at the traffic problems that we have we've got I don't know but maybe I think we've got a bad traffic problem and then we're gonna have a lot more serious traffic problem if we don't have any word to expand and grow and all that I'm not saying here I'm asking about spanning the boundaries or nothing but I do know one thing we do have a tool out there that I don't think we've utilized it enough and that's the interstate and to me that should be our future and as we continue to know we're going to get 150 000 whatever the population is in that 20 years we need to use that interstate we need to bring jobs here infield redevelopment is great but the problem is all you're doing is packing as you all drive around this town and you see what we got to go through to get from A to B, it is not like it was 25, 30 years ago. It's totally different. It takes a long time to do it. I'm not saying we're in Atlanta. I'm not saying that we are in Los Angeles, but we are a small town, but I still think we should grow smarter than we're growing now. And one thing that I have concern is, and I asked the administration or the mayor, that we need to figure out if we continue to go at 60% or more more on our budget to pay for public safety we got to find other avenues because eventually we're not going to be able to blacktop roads we're not going to be able to improve parks we're not going to be able to do any of these things unless we bring jobs into this city and I know you've done a good job what you have mayor with the jobs that you got but still that budget is still going up to 60% of our payroll is going I mean our general funds is going to police and fire. I just think we've got to sit by and look for the future of Lexington and I'm not here to talk about expanding the boundaries but I am here to say that you do have that tool and I'm looking I keep repeating it the interstate is a tool we have not used correctly and we need to use that and I will be honest with you the summit is one prime example it's beautiful it's wonderful but to me the perfect place would have been on the interstate because that's where the traffic people from out of town come at the new at the new thing big boxes are going away it's a small little chop that are coming back so i just think we've got to sit back and figure out how we're going to solve this 60 of our budget and it continues to grow as next year comes around for for the budget we're gonna have to hire just many more police officers, just many more firemen. It's gonna go over 60% probably. Right now it's 58%. But I ask that we get, we have to put our thinking caps on for the future of Lexington. And I just feel this is a golden opportunity. And we've got to plan for jobs, jobs, jobs. And I just don't think we're going the right direction right now. I'm planning nothing against you guys, but we've got to start thinking this way when we've got numbers coming in to disturb me. Thank you, Mayor. Okay, thank you, Council Member Maloney. Council Member Gibbs. Thank you, Mayor. I'm glad Council Member Maloney brought up traffic because I think I figured out the problem, and that's Doug Burton. I'll admit it. I'll admit it. I've just got a couple of questions for you, Doug. I've had several people ask me about Water Street, what's going on back there, and when can we expect it to be done? And the other thing is I'm concerned about the center point. I'm sorry. But, you know, they've got a permit to close that down for six weeks. Are they going to be done in six weeks? Do we have any leverage with them? Because, you know, this is really clogging up the street. The businesses over there are suffering. So I was just wondering if you could comment on those two things. I can. Water Street and construction should be finished next week. By construction, I mean actually installing the line that they're installing, not the paving. paving would likely follow in the week or two after and we will be repaving from Barney Miller's all the way to limestone so that that entire section curb to curb back there will be replaced so it's not just them patching the section that they've torn up we've negotiated that as part when they were when they got their right-of-way permit so regarding upper street closure six weeks is the timeline and there's a ton of work going on in that time I got a list beforehand there's a new 12 inch water line that's Kentucky Americans gonna be putting in up the entire length they'll also be tying with laterals into each of the businesses there's a large horizontal cut that's going through for KU to put in a duck bank there's new fiber optic duck bank that'll also be crossing upper and then there's going to be some sewer work that's going on with a new manhole in a sewer bypass line so there's a ton of work going on in there in one time and six weeks they deem was adequate with frankly they thought they could do it in four but asked for six but so that they didn't uh under deliver and over promise so we're confident that we can push them along uh and and we're confident that that frankly we control the right-of-way permits and we control and traffic controls the lane closure permits so um we we can force the issue if need be well thanks so you know i get reports from uh leesa over at the irish shop felch and she's like periodically she'll send me a note saying there's nobody over here right i mean they're they're they're uh they're controlled by mother nature as well so the rain we've had the last couple days has definitely held them up um but i know that they're interested in getting it done because uh the ku service especially is is is critical to them both both the water street and And that is critical to them getting their power to the new building. Thanks, Doug. Appreciate it. Thank you, Mayor. Councilor Lamb. Thank you, Mayor. First, I wanted to let everybody know that I attended the Pension Oversight Committee yesterday in Frankfurt, the legislators. I highly encourage the current and former employees to read through the information that was presented, the third report from PFM. and that information can be found at KentuckyPensions.com. I hope everyone can understand what the conversation currently is and wait to hear when we go forward with a special session of the Kentucky Legislature. It is my understanding that it could be in October. And, Mayor, I wanted to see how the council, how we can be kept in the loop with these potential changes as they relate to CERS through the legislation. there have been times in the past where there's been some other legislation that we I don't feel like that we were kept in the loop on and I want to make sure that we are kept in the loop and kept abreast of the specific items as they go through this time mayor all right that's the best way to get that done is just what you're doing and we'll do our best to do that well we have so informed I you know that's what uh Jamie here I mean, will we have more than one lobbyist over there that's going to be working on our behalf? Excuse me. We will have our own lobbyist, yes, but we'll also have KLC and KCO working on our behalf. We're members with both those organizations, so they'll do their best to advocate on our behalf and keep us in the loop and let us know what we can do to help them, and we can pass it along to you. Sure. And I appreciate it, and I'm always all about educating the public, because if you know what's going on on the front end, to me it helps ease the new end, if that's what ends up happening. Good points. Thank you for bringing it up. Well, and then also, you know, I have some unfortunate and sad news about the 4th District and also Councilmember Mazzotti and Councilmember Fred Brown's districts. Over the past weekend, a sweet six-year-old boy passed away. He drowned at a community pool, and we've been working with the Homeowners Association to provide support. I wanted to ask if you all would join me for a moment of silence just for this beautiful child and his dear family and friends and for all those that are grieving from this horrible event. Please. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Lamb. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to say last week I had the privilege of attending the CPA, the Citizens Police Academy. I had two siblings that actually went through the program, a brother and sister, and they really enjoyed it. learning more about what our police officers do on a regular basis. You know, a lot of times I get told that being on council is a thankless job. I think, you know, a lot of times police are in that same category, but, you know, I don't risk my life every time I suit up and come to council, and I think they do when they suit up and go out into our community. So I'd just like to say that I think that's a good experience for anybody that hasn't went through the academy like myself, but I think it's a good way to give the public a good understanding of the roles and responsibilities of our police officers. I'd also like to apologize to my council members for not giving enough notice about the press conference that took place yesterday in MLK Park. It's been planned for a while but I guess my original thinking about it was it's just a ribbon-cutting for a concession stand But I think yesterday, with the fact that we recognized a coach and an assistant coach in an organization that has been mentoring to young people in that community for over 28 years, I think it turned out to be more than just a ribbon-cutting for a concession stand. So I'd just like to thank those that did get the word at the last minute to make it out. I'd like to thank the community partners. The Winburn Community Partners is the group that we've been convening. And there's a lot of good work already taking place in that community. I think us meeting together and having a platform is just an opportunity to enhance a lot of those initiatives that have already taken place in that neighborhood. And I'd also like to thank Park and Rec. They've been real great partners this year with our efforts. Well, they've just been great partners, period. but we've been putting a lot of emphasis on that park, and they've stepped up to the plate every time that we've asked them to to make sure that our events go off with a out-of-hitch and that there's resources in that community. That project was a project that my predecessor, then Councilmember Chris Ford and the mayor, had taken on to build that concession stand. So I just like the opportunity that I had to see that through. So thank you for that. Another note with the football team and the coach that we recognized yesterday, I actually played for that same organization when I was 10 years old. And the first time I entered this council chamber was after we won the city championship. We came down here and got to meet our council member and got to meet the mayor right here in this very chamber. So that meant a whole lot to me. On another note, I'd like to make a motion to place in planning and the public safety committee the address of 471, 467 and 473 West 2nd Street to review those properties for a residential parking permit. So move. Motion by Council Member Brown, second by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion on the motion? All right, if not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Brown. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. At your seats, I passed out an article I came across last night, and the name of the article was, Will Women Ever Break the Bronze Ceiling? And it talks about, right now in our history, when statues have never been more political, level and how underrepresented women are as far as statues and public art throughout the country. And here's some stats that I think were pretty alarming when I read them. It says women make up 20% of the U.S. Congress, 20% of mayors, and 24% of statewide elected executive offices, but occupy just 5% of C-suites at S&P 500 companies. Bad as those figures are public art lags behind them. Only 9% of some 6,900 recorded works in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's catalog of outdoor sculpture are of women. A grand total of nine national park sites are dedicated to women's history out of 411. Basically, the column says, by having women missing, it sends the message to young girls and young boys that women did not play a prominent role in the building and the growing of our nation. It's as though Women did not participate and they do not deserve the respect that men who are portrayed across the country did. So I'd like to put in the planning and public safety committee that we take a look at this for our city. There's San Francisco starting an initiative based upon, actually they introduced a resolution that by 2020 that 30% of statues, street names, and public art and appointed commissions would be dedicated to women. I'm not giving any percentages other than it may be the 2020, because in 2020 is when women gain, it'll be 100 years since women had the anniversary for gaining the right to vote. I think would be something that us as a city and as a council would be remiss to do if we didn't look at that in our city. So I would like to place that in the planning and public safety committee that we take a look at that so goal could be increased as those other cities are increasing their efforts to increase women's representation. Second. Motion by Councilmember Massadi and seconded by Councilmember Plumman. Is there any discussion on the motion? Hearing none, we can vote. All in favor please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carried. Don't fret. Thank you, Mary. That's all. Thank you, Council Member Massadi. Council Member Plumlee. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to remind you all next week, because a lot of us might not be in because of the meetings, because of Labor Day, but next Friday, September the 8th, is the grand opening of our new stockyard, which is out on Ironworks Pike, which is now in the 12th District. I was out there last week for a tour, and I'm sure some of you have been out there, but this is a real coup for not just the 12th or our community, but the region and the country and a big economic boom. So I encourage you to come out there next Friday, 1 o'clock, see it, enjoy it, take pride in it, but I wanted to make sure you knew that. Also, I wanted to congratulate Bluegrass Community Foundation on their 50-year anniversary. Several of us went Saturday night, I think Vice Mayor Kay, I think Mayor, I think Susan Lamb and Jake Gibbs, Councilmember Gibbs and Lamb and it was quite an event and I think they were intimate gathering of about 400 but we really do we really do need to honor what this organization has done in the past 50 years it was interesting we're looking at when it first started at 1967 and it was very minuscule today it has 90 there was 93 million in assets that have distributed 68 point million dollars out so that's pretty monumental and they have taken a lot of initiative leadership and many many initiatives in our community on the table was their leadership role on that so happy birthday bluegrass community foundation i just wanted to share it with the public thank you mayor thank you you councilmember Evans thank you mayor I'm gonna pick off pick up where councilmember Maloney left off and I guess it might be a question for mr. O'Mara because we do have these questions sorry um you know we do have these comments and thoughts and concerns and I think we we've all heard that and we don't start really talking about policy and what it looks like until we get to budget season where it's a little too late we're very focused on that year's budget so is there a presentation that that we can have or something that would help us have more of that policy discussion I guess about the budget what we need to be looking at for you know the next five or ten years because I don't feel like budget committee I feel like that's still more immediate and we're not having that conversation of okay we've done this and we all voted for officers or new firefighters but what is that going to what are we going to need to have in our budget you know every year i feel like we're still missing that um so is there a presentation or something that you you all could put together or what are your your thoughts and maybe not all your thoughts but but you know because i feel like that is something that we've been lacking and we do get to budget season and then we're all kind of freaking out and you don't know what to do we we never continue those policy conversations about the future. So can you help me perhaps figure out how to push that along? Yes, and I think we can put together some discussion points that we can bring forward. And I would say that 10 years is probably a large time frame to put dollars to it. So are you talking about policy, which policies versus costs? So we can adopt a policy that may have projected cost, or we could adopt another policy that could have another cost, and so you get this spiral effect of all these different options. So we can certainly discuss what would be a better framework to have that discussion. Okay. Do we have a set date for, because Councilmember Henson had talked about having a workshop. Is that something that could be? added to that or just maybe give a framework of what those policy discussions should be versus i think we're going to have that conversation at that time yes okay get ready thank you all right council member bledsoe thank you mayor as you know my office has worked with the southland association the last four years to put on the southland street fair which has been highly successful in doing economic development in the area and also just having a community engagement And so this year we're launching the first ever Taste of Beaumont, which is going to be October 1st. It's a Sunday. And that's my office in Parks and Rec and the Moondance Foundation. And what you may not know is the Moondance Foundation was done by a bunch of the businesses in the Beaumont area to help promote and sustain the Moondance Amphitheater. And so this is going to be our first effort at trying to engage some long-term fundraising to make the Moondance Amphitheater a success. So if you're interested in being a vendor for that, it's actually on our website right now at lexaninky.gov. and we're very excited to have four or five people already signed up to be there. It should be a lot of fun. There's going to be live bands, lots of music, lots of family engagement, kids activities. It's a free event, and that's Sunday, October 1st. Thanks. All right. Thank you, Councilmember Bledsoe. Councilmember Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. First, I wanted to thank the administration and certainly the public for turning out for our review meeting with the folks from Spectrum last Thursday night. fine fine room full of folks with really first-hand input that we have been receiving in person via email and I know their voices were heard that night I want to make sure that they continue to be heard to move forward in our relationship or with other situations that pertains to spectrum and then Commissioner Reid you ran a great meeting sir it was you like Gretzky in the third period very smooth very smooth and then I wanted to thank the Division police and the division of sanitation for providing great service to the folks of Chevy Chase during our street fair on Saturday night. Given the concurrence of events across the world, we took two garbage trucks and parked them on the dominoes end of the street pretty much face to face just to perform a kind of a temporary barricade which seemed something we would never do but something that we absolutely did this year because of other events in other places I know for sure there are probably more policemen in that crowd than people understood but my personal favorite moment was when we got a flyby by the police helicopter so close I think I could smell fuel but they did a great job and everyone had a really great time on a beautiful afternoon and as usual everybody wants to do it again real soon but I think one year is plenty good enough thank you mayor yes sir council member scutchfield thank you mayor um you know talking about things going on in our nation i do want to let the people in houston know that you know we're thinking about them i know that i have family in the area and it it's scary what they're going through right now and they're going to hit get hit by the storm again coming back around so um and i have polled i've heard from more than half of the people on planning and public safety i am going to schedule a special meeting of planning and public safety on september 19th at 11 a.m so i wanted to make sure that you all get that on your calendar i appreciate it and thank you mayor all right thank you councilman thank you councilmember scottsville council vice mayor kay thank you mayor i just want to continue the theme of thinking about the future we can do that in the short term remind people that on On Thursday, the Planning Commission will have a work session that begins, actually continues their conversation about the goals and objectives for the revision of the comprehensive plan. That will be at 1.30 in the chambers. People are welcome to come and make comment, listen to what other people have to say, and when they are completed, the Planning Commission will be taking a vote, not at that meeting, but at a later meeting, and then forwarding those recommendations to the council for our consideration. So that's Thursday, this Thursday, 1.30 in chambers. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Vice Mayor. All right, that's all the council reports for today and that allows us to move on to Mayor's report. Motion by Council Member Scushfield, second by Council Member Farmer. Is there any discussion? All right, if not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Next is public comment for issues not on the agenda. I have Mr. Paul Price and Mr. Ridgeway and Mr. Brown signed up. Thank you, sir. I am Bob Brown and Elder at the Main Street Baptist Church. I'm delighted to have this opportunity to come and speak with you with regards to parking at our church. as you know there is an expansion of Rupp Arena ALCC which would go across the back end of our church there thus eliminating the parking that we have had access to and then also town branch coming in that too would eliminate our parking. So the bottom line to that is we would be left with no parking at all there, which concerns us very, very much. We have a rich history there at Main Street, one that we're very proud of, the fact that our property was part of the Degarius Todd estate, that Abraham Lincoln is the attorney of record that transferred the deed to the property to slaves and former slaves who were able to garner up enough money to purchase that property. And so it's sacred to us, and we are very, very concerned that we continue at that location. Now, just this past Sunday, we celebrated our 155th year anniversary. And that says to us that for 155 years, through many different mayors and government administrations, administrators, administrations rather. We have been able to work together with reasonable accommodation and support. And it has been said by their action that Main Street, we love the idea of having you there at that corner. It's a stabilizing influence and anchor, which is part of that community there. And so we have found that we have received reasonable accommodation in working together, and we're hoping that as we move forward with the new developments of which we support, that we are able to preserve our church at its current location and that we continue there. We provide a lot of services in the community. We love doing the work of the Lord there, and we think our record is very, very forthright in that. We submitted a letter to you dated July the 20th, and in that letter, after much research, we identified two win-win propositions. One, we ask that you would allow us to have access to the Jefferson Street viaduct of a track that's to be retained there. And then secondly, that you would look at the back portion behind our chapel, existing chapel there, where there is a cluster of trees, we think, designed for the park area. That that be converted into parking as well. again we think these are well thought out win-win propositions that we're asking that you would give your undivided attention to so that we might continue on doing that great work in this one of the top five cities in america that we support and love thank you thank you mr brown thank you all for joining us today. Just as a footnote, it's my understanding that there is a meeting with the Lexington Convention Center, and that meeting is tomorrow, is that right? Where some of these issues are going to be appropriately of course discussed, but we want to thank you all for being here and especially for all those years since 1853 and 1863 when your deed was first given, I believe. And Abraham Lincoln was signed on it, I'm told. Yes, sir. All right. Thank you all so much. Is there anything further to come before the council? All right. If not, then I'll take a motion to adjourn. Second. Motion by? Where did the first come? Council Member Stenet. Motion seconded by Council Member Farmer. Unless there's objection, we are adjourned.
