Thank you. ORCHESTRA PLAYS Thank you. ¶¶ The End Thank you. Thank you. Good evening and welcome everyone. This is the October 12th meeting of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. I'm Vice Mayor Steve Kaye. The mayor is meeting with some elected officials and other folks who are presenting to a special conference tomorrow, so I'll be chairing this meeting. And the first order of business is to have the clerk call the roll. Mr. Clerk, whenever you're ready. Mr. Gibbs. Ms. Henson. Mr. Kaye. Ms. Lamb? Mr. Maloney? Yes, sir. Ms. Massadi? Ms. Plowman? Ms. Scutchfield? Yes, sir. Mr. Smith? Yes. Mr. Stinnett? Yes, sir. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes. Mr. Fred Brown? Here. Mr. James Brown? Here. Ms. Evans? Here. Mr. Farmer? Yes, sir. Thank you. The next item on our agenda is the invocation. vacation, we'd like to welcome Reverend Marsha Moore-Charles from Bluegrass United Church of Christ, a special guest this evening of Councilmember Stinnett. Welcome. Let us join together in prayer. Holy Presence, of whom we call many names and journey to your spiritual energy by diverse pathways, we're gathered tonight as citizens and leaders alike with earnest hearts and attentive minds to make decisions which are good for all people. We come, Holy One, to ask for your guidance and your courage, to ask for your perseverance. Call us together with those who are most different from us, whose skin is of a different cue, whose tongues we don't recognize, whose religions rely on varying spiritual paths. Teach us, God, that difference is good, that diversity offers us the chance to tap into the richness and the beauty of what we offer to one another. Be with our elected leaders. May they understand the extraordinary responsibility for governing in a way that serves all people. We especially lift prayers this night for our mayor and vice mayor, our council, and for our first responders and their leaders. In times such as these with tensions very high and decisions very much questioned, may we as people work with them for the common good. Give Mayor Gray and our other city leaders restful nights to prepare for long days, give them peace of mind to endure heightened opinions, and may we all commit ourselves to do our part to achieve the unity and harmony that we claim to desire. Now God be with us, each one of us. Open our minds and hearts to imagine possibilities for our living together, and keep us in your care and your love, as we care and love one another with compassionate actions to all we meet. Amen. Thank you. The next item on the agenda is the minutes of the previous meeting. Is there a motion to approve? So moved. I have a motion, so second. Second. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. I'll recognize Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I'd like to make a motion that we table number 34 after the administration sent out a notice to us that they would like to come back November the 9th after they meet with the church and also Giving us information on who's gonna pay for the bridge. So so move I Have a motion in a second just to I'm sorry customer Maloney just to clarify I believe that's a motion to postpone and not to table is that correct since you're I was born to a specific date. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. The motion is second. Is there discussion on the motion? Councilmember Farmer. At the end of your motion, you mentioned something about a description of who will pay for the movement of the bridge as part of this. Who would pay for the bridge? I don't think that's germane to this at this time, and I will vote against the motion. Do what now? I just said what I want to do, but let me tell you again. I'm going to vote against your motion because I don't believe that it is in order. If you want to table this, table it. To add on that verbiage at the end changes the gender of the motion, to my estimation, makes it something I will not vote for. Thank you. Further discussion? Council Member Gibbs. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I'd like to make a motion to amend Council Member Maloney's motion to delete the portion about the bridge. So moved. I have a motion and a second to amend the motion to delete the specific language. The language about the bridge. I'd like to say that it'll be postponed for one meeting. Thank you. I have a motion and a second to amend the motion, and the amendment would be to now have the motion read simply to postpone that item to that mentioned date. Is that correct? Two seconds, Vice President. Aye. Excuse me? Two seconds. Is there a second? Thank you. Council Member Massadi. Okay. It's for the bus. Oh, okay. Is there discussion on the amendment? Seeing none, I need to ask council members. The concern about the motion is the church is the main thing, and I want to advise that I'm going to give the administration to everybody. What happened in the 1970s when they did the Reparino, there was a lot of people displaced. I hope we learn from what happened in the 70s that we don't do the same thing with these folks now Now the other problem I have is and I've been consistent on the numbers Who's paying for the bridge when we're sitting through a tough time that you're on the budget and that bridge is gonna Not gonna be cheap, so I wouldn't I do like to have both of them in there to fix both of these problems So that's why I put that in there so I will not support the motion Thank you. Council Member Stinnard, if you'd take the chair for a moment, I'd like to be recognized. Vice Markay. Thank you. I believe I've got the resolution in front of me, and I want to read it. It says, a resolution authorizing and directing the mayor on behalf of the Ribbon County Government to execute an agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the cabinet for the exchange of a total of approximately 34.658 road lane miles, located in Lexington Fayette County with KYTC to receive approximately 19.6 road lane miles. And the urban county government to receive approximately 15.058 road lane miles. And authorizing the mayor as a designee to sign any necessary documents related to the exchange. I am going to support the amendment because I believe this resolution speaks only to the swap of lanes. It does not speak specifically to the bridge or its disposition. And I believe we ought to have a clean motion. So I will support the amendment. Thank you. Council Member Hanson. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I guess I have a question for the administration on this. If someone could, about the, when we get to the actual, if we get, I should say, this has been dragging on a while, but if we get to the actual demolition of this bridge, that'll come to us as a separate item. yes absolutely if we're paying for it correct correct if the and this is for the park not for the lexington center correct the space underneath that's where it's at both it's no it's the park underneath okay so I guess I can support the amendment and as we move forward I was even thinking at one point we had talked about pulling this item off of the lane miles but if we did that that would pose another problem correct Doug Well, if you'll recall, the genesis of the road swap was that we wanted the viaduct. So I think it is in the interest of KYTC that if we're going to get that, then we need to—the rest of the road swap would be preferred. And it should be all of them? Okay, thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Maloney. Two questions. of all what you just said and why are we tabling the motion tonight then why are we tabling i mean while i mean while we're moving the motion if what you just said the administration asked that we move this tonight why are you saying what you just said why we why the administration i mean you're saying the bridge has nothing to do with this is what I understand. Then why are we taping it tonight? I read the language of the resolution. And I said the resolution itself speaks to the swap of roads. It does not speak specifically to the disposition of the bridge. And that's why I'm interested in a clean postponement. Correct my history. When we made the motion, someone tried to separate the bridge originally and it failed then we came back and put the bridge back in with the roads here and that believe that the bridge is in that road so I like to I believe I'm right on that is somebody if that correct were there two motions made and I mean my colleagues were here you all remember somebody made a motion to separate the two and you all start not to do it that way is it not correct on that don't be afraid tell me if I'm all got it but so so the bridge is involved with this on your original motion thank you thank you councilmember farmer questions been called this is on the amendment to the emotion all those in favor of the amendment please say aye Any opposed? No. That motion carries. That would bring us back to the original motion. Any further discussion? Sure. If you want to speak to the original motion, which is simply to postpone. You should call the question. So now you're back to the motion. I apologize, correct. The first motion was, the first vote was simply whether to call a question or not and we are now calling the question. So now the vote is on the amendment itself. All those in favor of the amendment please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Now we're to the original motion. Yeah. Council Member Brown are you on for further discussion? Well, I thought we had all this kind of ironed out to the fact that the resolution is what we're voting on. And the verbiage of the resolution has nothing to do with some other votes that we may take down the road. It's a swap of roads and routes between the state and the city. And what we do from that point on is another question. It will be another very controversial, maybe, as to what we do even on the bridge. I don't know that we're all in agreement that we're going to tear down that daggone bridge. You know, so I just wanted to state that. I'm going to support, I'm going to vote against the motion to table because I feel like it's not germane. Just again to clarify, this is a motion to postpone to a specific date, not to table. because there's a procedural issue there. Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just want to be clear. I do support tabling. I don't have a problem with that. But the reason Council received an email tonight from the administration asking to table it because of the bridge and the issue with the church. So it is germane to this topic. Otherwise, the administration would never have sent us that email. So for people to sit up here and say it has nothing to do with the bridge, it has everything to do with the bridge. That's why we got the motion from the administration. and I'll read it if you want me, Vice Mayor, to read it publicly. I'll be glad to, but it says, please postpone to December 9th so we can meet with the church. That has to do with the bridge, period. So let's not pretend like it doesn't and gloss over that fact. That's the only reason we're postponing it for three weeks is because it has to do with the bridge. Thank you. Thank you. Now I must again ask you if you would mind taking the chair. I'd like to be recognized. Vice Mayor Kaye. Thank you. So now we're into the deep weeds, but I want to make a distinction between the substance and the process. There is no question in my mind that what's at issue here, the underlying issue, is the disposition of that bridge and that roadway. But procedurally, what we have in front of us is a motion simply to do a lane swap with the state. and procedurally a clean motion is what is in order as far as I'm concerned. So it's not that we're pretending that that's not what's at issue. It's that procedurally it's cleaner to postpone the resolution that we have in front of us and not at this point tack on the other issues which we'll have plenty of time to talk about. Thank you, sir. Back to you. Okay. Anybody else want to speak to the motion? If not, all those in favor, please say aye. Aye. All opposed? No. That motion carries. This will be postponed. And thank all of you for coming tonight. And you're welcome to stay for the rest of our proceedings, but don't feel obligated. That brings us down to... Compassionate. appropriately, that brings us down to a presentation about Compassionate Lexington, which Councilmember Lamb. All I'm gonna say is I think we need some compassion after that, thank you for setting this tone. Perfect, you all did great, thank you, thank you. So thank you all tonight for allowing us to make this presentation. I know normally we have presentations on Tuesday at work session, but a lot of our group wouldn't make it during the day, so I appreciate that you all allowing this to happen tonight. Our goal with Compassionate Lexington is to engage more collaborative partnerships among individuals, businesses, organizations, and local government to champion and nurture more growth of compassion in Lexington, Fayette County. In 2015, a group of people from local government, organizations, and community came together with like-minded goals about Lexington becoming a greater compassionate city. This group finished the groundwork in late 2016, and then earlier in this year, our current coordinating workgroup came together to define the mission statement, coordinating circles, and draft resolution that is before you today. And I would like to ask these groups to stand and be recognized. If you're on either one of the work groups, please stand. Some of them are being shy. I guess you all scared them, so. I also want to thank Bill Farmer, president and CEO of United Way of the Bluegrass, and his staff for their involvement in helping with the work group. I would also like to thank Tom Williams, who's co-chair of Compassionate Louisville and attorney with Stoke, Keenan & Ogden, who has helped with our initiative and was unable to attend tonight. Item number 52 that is on tonight's docket is a resolution affirming the Charter for Compassion and designating Lexington-Fayette County as a compassionate city. We will be joining other cities in Kentucky who recognize and promote acts of compassion, and we will even have Ann Arbor, Michigan, who's going to be present tomorrow for our University Cities event, who has also affirmed the Charter for Compassion. Now, I would like to introduce Reverend Marsha Morris-Charles and Mrs. Rosie Musnick, who will take you through the goals and objectives. We are going to keep it moving. So we summarize our initiative with the W's of our ideas and action plans. These questions most certainly come to the forefront when considering this proposal. Who? Councilwoman Lamb has already briefly introduced the originating group, which met a few years ago, to think about the possibility of Lexington joining other cities and naming itself a compassionate city. Very quickly, it was apparent that this designation required more than a simple notation as part of our city's identification. Becoming a compassionate city requires action, which can be measured. It requires buy-in and participation across ideologies, religions, nonprofits, politics, and other cultural differences. It requires a city to encourage grassroots development, which also provides an initial structure from which to grow. Our current group of committed citizens from a cross-section of business, education, health care, faith communities, and nonprofits are leaders in our community, and leaders who have given many, many hours to Lexington's path towards becoming a compassionate city. The proposal before you tonight is indicative of that work. So, I don't go by Mrs. Movesnick, just let me say. But anyway, so my part is I'm saying what we are doing. And one way to think about that is how we define compassion. And so compassion is defined according to our mission statement. I'll just paraphrase. It's respecting the dignity of everyone. It is using empathy to expand our culture of kindness, mercy, justice, and equity. It is cultivating long-term learners and is creating a culture of inclusivity. And that means that we respect our differences, we see them as our strength, and we serve the common good. So why do this? It's no secret that across our country and in our own community it seems we are a divided citizenry. In some ways it can be difficult to join hands or sit at tables with folks who we find it difficult to agree with and, let's be honest, sometimes even have conversations with. At the same time we must recognize that when we can find common ground in our shared humanity, our chances of making life better greatly increase. increase. We believe the idea and actions of compassion provide us with unique and valuable pathways to reach across our differences of race and politics, economics, cultures, and religions, and other ways we find ourselves so separate and divided. We imagine a Lexington that offers opportunities to encourage mutual respect and understanding, to give empathy to those often ignored, and in in this way provide methods and a real gateway for us to learn from and help one another. So when we would like to see this happen as soon as possible and for this resolution to be approved, we have already started, modeled after Louisville, we have overarching themes. Those themes are human needs, physical growth, economic expansion, and cultural creativity. those large themes we have sub themes where citizens of Lexington can join us based on their interest and passion so we would like to see this approved as soon as possible so that compassionate Lexington can take off well I know as leaders y'all want to know how and what's going to involve for you in anticipation of your approval of this charter we've already been working behind the scenes. We have an implementation and a PR plan, including launching a citywide logo contest to get our kids and schools, our artists, and others involved in helping us establish a welcoming and attractive brand identity. We plan to launch a website to develop to connect volunteers with needs and to provide a way to measure our compassionate actions. And of course, we need social media, and we'll need some kids' help with that, not only Facebook and Twitter, but Instagram and the other ones that we can't quite keep up with as old folks. We hope to develop partnerships with local businesses, nonprofits, and faith communities, and we're so lucky that a very talented group of Leadership Lexington has already committed to develop the toolkit for organizations to review and sign on, and then they will host the citywide Compassionate Actions Contest. Perhaps you all can do it by your district, but they'll have that take place next spring so we can have a Compassionate Actions contest. And then we also want to plan an official launch and resolution signing to make the community aware of Compassionate Lexington, who we are, and to encourage their involvement. So as members of the coordinating circle, we recognize that there's been a lot of work before to get us even here. Susan has worked for several years now on trying to make Lexington a compassionate city, and there is more work to be done. And we hope that you will approve this resolution so that Lexington can become more compassionate than we already are. Thank you. So we offer you just a brief video letting you know how compassionate we already are and keeping that going. So many questions on my mind Searching for answers Will I find someone to see me As I am, I need a friend to take me by the hand. Walk right beside me, showing me you care. When life overwhelms me, just be there. Remind me of the beauty in my soul Telling me the things I need to know Celebrate life, celebrate love And with each moment we embrace Celebrate hope, celebrate dreams Look to our future unafraid For love is what we need To keep us strong and unified We're gonna celebrate Celebrate our life We're working for a day When we will see Love and compassion, unity Moving forward together on our way Letting go and living day by day Celebrate life, celebrate love And with each moment we embrace Celebrate hope, celebrate dreams Look to our future unafraid For love is what we need To keep us strong and unified We're gonna celebrate Celebrate our life We will weather storms together We will share our hearts forever No matter where we go No matter what we do You're a part of me I'm a part of you A part of you Celebrate life, celebrate love And with each moment we embrace Celebrate hope, celebrate dreams Go to our future unafraid For love is what we need To keep us strong and unified We're gonna celebrate We're gonna celebrate We're gonna celebrate Our life Our life Our life So we look forward to using your approval to springboard and launch Compassionate Lexington. And we're lucky to have so many people supporting us, including one of our newest Lexington residents, the Reverend Dr. Joan Brown Campbell, retired director of religion at the prestigious Chautauqua Institute, now married to a longtime Lexington resident, Reverend Dr. Albert Pennybaker. Both Joan and Penny have committed their lives to community advocacy and involvement, and Joan particularly has worked very closely with Corrine Armstrong, the original initiator of Compassionate Cities. We're lucky to have Joan and Penny with us tonight and they will speak to you briefly during public comments about their support and experience with Compassionate Cities. Members of Council and leaders of our great county, it is our honor to submit this proposal with hopes that it will receive not only an approval but a unanimous endorsement as you join us in this wonderful opportunity to build bridges and extend compassion in perhaps ways we never thought possible. Thank you very much. Thank you all for this. The technical difficulty was a problem with LexTV3. We had it skewed where that it was going to be on the video so that's why we had it by that. I would like to move up here. I would like to ask that if you all would please allow us to suspend the rules and allow for, I believe there's just a few, a couple of three people that would like to speak regarding Compassion of Lexington so they don't have to stay for the entire meeting. If I would like to move that motion please have a motion in a second any discussion on the motion on favor please say aye aye any opposed that motion carries please proceed do you have the sign-up sheet would you mind to bring the sign-up sheet please I guess it's gonna come forward Thank you. The first person on the list is Al Johnson. I think that the people that were speaking for Compassion, I believe they wrote beside their name, compassionate. Perhaps you can sort the list. I think we have it sorted out. The first speaker would be the Reverend Dr. Albert Pennybaker. Welcome. And if you would, give your name and address, and you will have three minutes to speak. My name's Albert Pennybacker. My address is 120 East Main Street, apartment 2106 in Lexington. With me is Dr. Joan Brown Campbell. Dr. Campbell chairs the board for the Charter of Compassion International. And she was one of the authors of the Charter of Compassion along with Dr. Karen Armstrong in England. And we want to say some word about what the Charter of Compassion would come to mean in Lexington with this action. I should say that Dr. Campbell changed her name a little over a month ago and added the name Pennybacker. She will say a word or two about the origins of the Charter of Compassion. And I do mean a word or two. I'm the mother of the past mayor of Cleveland, so I know enough to be quiet rather quickly when you're in one of these meetings. And it doesn't mean that you don't love us and what we have to say to you, but I respect what you have before you. So let me simply give you a very small piece of information. The charter is about to experience its 10th anniversary. It's 10 years since the charter was just an idea in the mind of Karin Armstrong. And from that day to this, we now have 400 cities. This one will make 401. Cities around the world. This is not just a U.S. proposition, but for people all around the world, where we have 53, I think, yes, 53 countries, 190 of those cities are in the United States. And so you begin to join an international movement that will very soon be featured on television as they take a very intense look at how the charter got started, what it means, and what it looks like in cities all around the world. So I will not take your time except to say thank you for beginning this journey with us and we stand with you with those around the world who already begin the process and the practice of compassion in a troubled world that seems to have so much difficulty loving each other. It's a good time for everybody to join compassion. Thank you. Let me say just a word or two about some things that are happening in various places around the world. In Australia, the compassion group there is working for a resolution that will make a continent of compassion in Australia. In Botswana, the team there is working on registering people who are unregistered in the country, and that opens the door for education and for medical care. In Canada, there are ten cities working on compassion action plans. In London, Ontario, for instance, the goal is to end poverty in four years. In Mexico, the state of Nuevo Leon is a compassionate state with twelve cities participating in this in Mexico and 10 additional cities will join the effort this year. In Pakistan, they've developed a supplementary curriculum to teach compassion, empathy, courage, and gratitude and thereby to change the culture of schools. In cooperation with USAID, 106 schools are being built. In the United Kingdom, you'll be interested in knowing something about the hostility and tensions in Belfast, that the effort there is to create compassionate cafes where people sit and talk and move toward forgiveness and understanding in the history of that plague And of special interest to us in Lexington is the work in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the university is dealing with students and faculty in terms of compassion, an appropriate activity of interest here. In the compassionate cities in the United States, let me name just a few, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Fort Worth, Fayetteville, Arkansas, St. Augustine, Florida, Seattle, Washington, and in 2017 new cities have joined across this country and around the world. Amon, Jordan, Casper, Wyoming, Hargisay, Somalia, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Kendall in the United Kingdom, Medford, Oregon, Plattsburgh, New York, Pomona, California, Rowlett, Texas, Sa'ana, Yemen, and Wells in the United Kingdom. That list will expand, we hope, by another name in this coming year as well. Thank you for your time. Thank you. We have one more person signed up to speak to the same issue, and that's Corey Wilcoxon welcome Reverend Corey Wilcoxon 1717 Hunter's Rest Court here in Lexington also the pastor of Crestwood Christian Church Disciples of Christ thank you all for allowing me to speak on this important initiative I have the honor of serving as a pastor here in our local community and my job is getting a lot harder to do I'm tired of praying on Sunday morning for God to comfort victims of mass shootings. I'm tired of trying to explain why people who are created in the image of God burn torches and spew hatred toward other people created in the image of God. I'm tired of reading Psalms that start with, how long, oh Lord, how long? I love living in Lexington and believe it's the closest thing we have to heaven on earth. I may be a bit biased, but I also recognize that what happened in Ferguson and what happened in Charlottesville and what happened in Las Vegas can happen anywhere. It can even happen here. And there's nothing that the city council can do about that because you can't legislate against hate. These disturbing acts of violence and prejudice don't get stopped by a show of power. They get stopped by a show of compassion. Dr. King said, hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that. And as much as I appreciate the work you all do. That's not up to you. That's up to all of us. Passing this resolution today is not the end of this process because becoming a compassionate city is not about hanging a plaque on a wall or signing a document at a press conference. If we truly want to live out the meaning of the word compassion, which literally means to suffer with, then we have to leave our offices and our places of worship in the safety of our homes and suffer with those in our communities who don't enjoy the privileges and luxuries that we take for granted. I'm honored to be part of a Leadership Lexington team this year that is working with Compassionate Lexington Initiative to plan and execute a week-long community-wide service project in April while we're encouraged every single person in Lexington to engage in acts of compassion towards each other. So by approving this resolution, which I hope you do, and by committing to live out its principles in our April event and in our daily lives, you are saying, you are not alone. We suffer with you. I heard a story about a politician who was visiting Africa, and while at an AIDS treatment facility, she was so overwhelmed by the suffering she saw there, she ran out of the tent and shook her fist to the sky and said, God, why don't you do something about this? And then she said she heard God asking her the same question. Friends, there are those among us who suffer, and if we don't do something about it, that suffering will only lead to more death, more desperation, and more violence. I encourage you to say with me by passing this resolution, that's not going to happen here. Please join me in not only supporting this resolution, but in committing to living out each and every day of our lives what it means to be compassionate. Our world needs us not only to pray for it, but for us to put our compassion into action. Thank you. Thank you. And as I said with the other resolution, if there are people who came specifically for this and you need to leave, we will understand. You're certainly welcome to stay and watch all the rest of the meeting. The next item on the agenda is a presentation which is the recognition of the junior fire chief and I'll ask Chief Chilton and the junior fire chief to join me at the podium. Tonight, Chief Kristen Chilton and I are welcoming a very special young lady to council, Katie Bowden, from Meadowthorpe Elementary, is our junior fire chief this year.

Yes, and I'll recuse on seven. Mr. Farmer? Yes, sir. Thank you. That vote reflects passage of the motion. It allows us to move to ordinance for a first reading when you're ready, sir. Vice Mayor, I'm sorry, I can't log in yet. Councilmember Evans? Sorry. We had some audience members that wanted to speak on the Main Street Baptist issue. There were still an individual remaining to speak. I think it would be very brief. I'd like to maybe just suspend the rules and have that. It was signed up. She signed up to speak. We just go back to that just very briefly. I think it would be a very short statement. Second. I have a motion and a second to suspend the rules and allow for public comment at this time. Any comments on the motion? Welcome. Diane Minnifield, 4809, Chaffer Lane, Lexington, Kentucky, 40515. Long-time member of Main Street Baptist Church and just wanted to have the opportunity on behalf of the church to thank the council for tabling or postponing or whatever terminology you all use on the swap. And I could tell from the discussions and the questions that were being asked that there was some confusion as to why we as a church would even have an issue relating to the swap of a section of roads that includes more than just the Vodoc, the bridge, the Jefferson Street area, and just for clarification purposes for all the council members that are here, it stems to the fact that we believe that there's some legal ownership issues involved in even the swapping of that road by the state to the city when we are the adjoining property owners and we want to make sure that they have dotted their I's and crossed their T's when they are going by the procedures of the right of way, when they have decided that they can just give or swap, transfer, convey that particular section of the Jefferson Street Bridge to the council, to the city of Lexington, when in most cases things that when they are decided not to even be roadways and no longer be used at roadways revert back to original owners or at least have right of first refusal when they connect. So we invite you all to come out to the meeting that will be held at the church with the administration and other council members. We've had one meeting. They understood our issues and our concerns and wanted more time to look at it and we invite the whole council to come out and have more of an opportunity to look at that. And again, we are very appreciative and want to be great neighbors and want Lexington to to be a compassionate place where we all do get along. And so for that we say thank you and come out and see us at church. Thank you. Any further comment? I'm David Stokes. My address is 4516 Pebble Brook Circle, Lexington, Kentucky 40509. I'm the executive director of the Central Kentucky Network of Baptists. You may know it as the Elkhorn Baptist Association. That is our incorporated name, and I stand in support of asking your considerations for Main Street Baptist Church. They are a member of our network of 106 churches, the majority of which are in Fayette County and here in the Lexington area. And so we as a group of churches just are excited about the fact that you as a council are giving this serious consideration to look at the issues related to the parking needs of this historic church. We know that you are concerned, as we all are, about the development of our city. But as I work with churches all across this region of our state, I find that they have a lot of issues, and I try to work with them prayerfully. But the issue that is before this church is one that this council can be a part of the solution. It can be a part of the solution not by seeking to find maybe the least that can be done. I think that we need to continue the generosity that this city has shown in the passed. Each time that the church is sought to expand its ability to park, it has always been found that the city was quicker to the draw to get those resources or had the means by which to get those areas that would have allowed the church to expand its parking. We also know that the city has made promises and those representing the city have made promises that come in a form not just of a promise but a commitment to allow them to have sufficient parking and so I want to just just encourage you to continue that openness to hearing what is being said and understanding that Lexington needs thriving churches in its city we need churches not just to be able to survive but we need them to thrive and for Main Street Baptist Church to continue to thrive it must have some commitments and it must have assurances that they will be able to have the parking needed to function as a church i want to thank you for all that you already have done and all the things you've already heard i want to thank you for your patience and listening to the church and listening to me tonight thank you very much thank you thank you all i believe that now would allow us to move Move to ordinance for first reading when you're ready.

Second. We have a motion and a second. Discussion on the motion? Council Member Stendent, would you take the chair just for a moment? Absolutely, Vice Mayor. I just want to note that this vote on the Charter Communications indicates the level of concern that this council has had expressed to it by its constituents, and this is the first step in putting chowder communications on notice that we expect them to comply with all of the conditions of their chowder. Thank you. Back to you, sir. Thank you. Any other discussion on the motion? Not sir. Please call the roll. Mr. Gibbs. Yes. Ms. Henson. Yes. Mr. Kay. Mr. K. Yes. Ms. Lamb. Absolutely, yes. Ms. Masati.

Councilman Lamb. Thank you. I have to recuse myself on number three. Thank you. Any other discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Next item is communications from the mayor for information only. That would bring us to announcements. Council members, if you have announcements, please sign in. Seeing none, that would allow us to move to public comment. And I believe some of the people who have signed up are no longer here, but I will call all the people who have signed up. First would be Al Johnson, not present. David Stokes. Lee Ridgeway. Bernard McCarthy. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. I think that tearing out the Jefferson Street Bridge would be a colossal mistake because we don't have enough street capacity as is. Tearing out the parking lot beneath would also be a mistake because we don't have enough parking spaces in our downtown. I also think that when our legislature convenes in its next regular session in January, that's the session at which they draw up the next six-year statewide road plan, when they get to haggling over how to allocate the inadequate supply of revenue flowing into our state road fund at the moment, Do you really want to hand ammunition to the representatives and senators from the other 119 counties in our state that they can use to argue that our county should be dead last on the priority list and their county should rank ahead of us? I mean, if we think so little of our traffic jams that you're willing to tear out a street that we already had, they may think, well, our problems must not be that urgent. They can spend the money somewhere else in the state. And I have to say that ending the so-called war on coal that has raged for previous eight years and ended January 20th of this year does not undo the damage it caused. Just like ending a real shooting war doesn't resurrect the dead or turn rubble back into buildings. So I can see a valid argument for giving most of the road funds to the counties that are to the southeast of here simply because, for one thing, equipment and operator skills used in strip mining for coal carries over into the excavation part of road building very nicely. That would be one way to put people back to work. Otherwise, they're likely to abandon their homes and all move here in search of new jobs to take up. And then they make this place a lot more crowded if that happens. So I think you don't really want to give them ammunition. Thank you. I've got three more names. Roger Cornelius, Corey Edmond, and Paul Price. He's no longer here. That's all I have signed up for public comment. Councilmember Stennett. Thank you, Vice Mayor. As painful as it might be, I'll make a motion to rescind our vote and revote on the suspension of the rules of number 33. This is the conditional offers. We have some fire class recruits in there that they need to go ahead and extend that to, as well as others. So I'll make a motion to rescind that vote and make it for second rating. So moved. Motion and a second to rescind the vote on number 33. Discussion on the motion? I think it's appropriate. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries, I believe we then have to vote on the motion to suspend again. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Mr. Clerk, if you would give a second reading on number 33. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you, Steve. Come on.
