The students were acknowledged for their initiatives focused on understanding and addressing the impacts of emotional trauma and violence, demonstrating their commitment to creating positive change in their school and broader community. The presentation showcased the students' dedication to tackling challenging social issues that affect their peers and neighborhoods. Their work on emotional trauma and violence prevention represents significant student leadership and community involvement from Frederick Douglass High School. This agenda item was informational in nature, serving to publicly acknowledge and celebrate the students' contributions rather than requiring board action or decision-making. The recognition provided an opportunity for the board to highlight positive student engagement and community-focused initiatives taking place within the district. The students' work on addressing emotional trauma and violence demonstrates the type of meaningful student leadership and social awareness that the district seeks to foster and support across its schools. ## Recognition of Delegation from County Kildare, Ireland [timestamp: 03:00] The meeting included a formal recognition of a visiting delegation from County Kildare, Ireland, highlighting the sister city relationship between Lexington and the Irish county. This agenda item, designated as 1167-17, served as a ceremonial presentation to welcome the international visitors. Key speakers during this recognition included Mr. Farmer and Mayor Martin Miley, who participated in the formal acknowledgment of the delegation. The presentation focused on celebrating the ongoing sister city partnership between the two jurisdictions. The agenda item was informational in nature, serving as a diplomatic courtesy to formally recognize the visiting delegation and reinforce the international relationship between Lexington and County Kildare. No formal action was required or taken during this portion of the meeting. This type of recognition reflects the city's commitment to maintaining international partnerships and cultural exchanges through its sister city program. The formal acknowledgment of visiting delegations is a standard practice in municipal government to honor these relationships and provide public recognition of international cooperation efforts. --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 1033-17** — passed (15-0): Amending Section 4-12.4(g) of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Code of Ordinances related to kennel regulations. - **Resolution 1055-17** — passed (15-0): Accepting the bid of Bradley Hook It Up Mobile, LLC for Vehicle Pressure Washing Steam Cleaning. --- ## Full transcript What am I without you?

We'll first have a few remarks from Councilmember Evans, and then I'll make a presentation. Good evening. I have three lovely ladies from Frederick Douglass High School with me tonight. I wish I could have met them under better circumstances, but they are here to talk to you all about a presentation that they gave at the Fayette County Public School Equity Council that our own legislative aide, Craig Kammack, is a member of and brought to my attention. And because of their creativity, their ideas, and their desire to address the emotional heartache, heartbreak that we are left with when we have our young people die. die violently, whether it's through suicide or gunshots violently. They've all experienced it. They were all friends of Trinity Gay. And after that experience, they had a wonderful teacher that had the foresight to talk to them and who really cared about their emotional well-being and how they were doing. So through that discussion, they came up with, some ideas about what the school board could do better, and maybe what we as a city can even do better to address the children that are left behind and how we can even help solve the problem that certainly reduced the gun violence problem that we have among our youth. So I will let them introduce themselves, and I hope you listen to, and they will share a little bit of their their individual stories but we do have a presentation for them because because of the presentation that they gave at this school board they will be presenting in Denver Colorado and they created a a GoFundMe account which will will plug for student voice trip to Denver which these ladies are going to be giving a national presentation based on their experiences and what they want to do and what they have done as a group to help address you know these these traumas that all of our students are feeling when something like this happens so I will let them introduce themselves and speak and then we'll also have their teacher give a little bit more information about the conference that they they presented at and will be presenting at so further ado hi I'm sure main hi everyone I'm Shanae Berryman hello I'm Tiausia Ragland I'm Susan McLaughlin and I teach at Lafayette High School and I had these three young women in my class as freshmen in a freshman science class of 36 students in the lab science typical class typical freshman class squirrels everywhere these ladies are no exception these ladies are no exception in the process they wound up sitting at a table in front of my desk about October November of their freshman year and they wound up including me in some of their girl talk while they were working on their assignments and so one day just about two years ago they picked up my cell phone off the desk and snapped a selfie can you go back to the first you can see up there in the upper left-hand corner this is the selfie that the girls sitting at in my class took with my cell phone Trinity is in the yellow shirt holding up the V in front of her space this was approximately a year before she was shot and it's kind of given all of us you know this odd sensation because to us it looks like she's saying peace out and when she was shot we went to I ran into Tiaasha and Charmaine at the funeral where her grandmother challenged the rest of the students there to pick up the baton that Trinity had and to run with it and I And I thought as we were sitting in the balcony, these girls, myself, and actually a teacher who had taught at Lafayette the year Trinity was born and had babysat for Trinity while Shoshana and Tyson were able to do track and to keep up with their high school activities while Trinity was born. So Trinity was a family member of Lafayette long before Tyson was an Olympian. And so Trinity was important to Lafayette whether or not Dad was an Olympian. and that's one of the key pieces that was missed. And these girls experienced having Trinity in class with them and wound up as not part of the track team. They weren't included in the developing of the memorial that happened on the track right after her death. Not being part of the family or dignitary or part of the track team. There was no space reserved for them at the funeral, so we all sat up in the balcony together. and it made me think about how they did not have voice in how Trinity was mourned even though they were probably hurting just as much as everybody else and in January it came out that a conference that I go to the theme this year is administrators uprising and uplifting student voices and I asked these girls if they would like to share and uplift their voices on a national forum at a academic graduate and postgraduate academic conference for research looking at educational administration so the people who are with me they're listening to them are the people that teach superintendents the people that teach principles and these girls have done an amazing job sharing their stories and what you see here are the findings and the discussions and the three four key key points that have come out of our conversations Hello again. Basically, right when Trinity died, teachers was telling us it's okay. And it's not okay. Violence is never okay, especially when it's due to gun violence. Because it's not okay that my friend lost her life during a crossfire, and she was just eating food at cookout. And you never wake up just like, I'm going to lose my life today due to a gun. like that's not okay at all and especially because she was only 15 at the time like that's someone's child like if that was your child you would not tell somebody oh that like you wouldn't want people telling you that's okay because that's your child you love them other people love them their friends family workers Hi. Again. I said sometimes it's a lose-lose situation because even though one person lost their life, another one could have as well because he'll be behind bars for the rest of his life or worth of her life. And there was a situation at Lafayette where there was a white man, or a white boy, and a black boy, and they both had guns put out on each other. Unfortunately, the white boy passed away, and then the other boy is now in jail. And it's just that, just because one life is gone doesn't mean that, oh, it's just, it's like one family loses one person, it's how there's the other family, and just like, neither one of them has a life anymore, so it's pervasive. Hello. I talked about the teachers listening to us and caring for us because for us, when we went back to school, it was more helpful to see the teachers crying with us than it was for them to just be numb to it because we really saw that it hit them too. and I feel like this death hit home to a lot of teachers with their kids and stuff. But some of them were like, they were giving us work the next day and stuff, and we couldn't handle it. Teachers were like not, I don't know how to explain it. It's just some teachers were not physically caring like some were, and it was just rough for us to see that. so to sum all of that up and they they actually have some very personal stories that i hope um maybe they can come back and share or you know share with you via email um because again they have all experienced the loss of multiple friends teenagers but i guess the message that they want to send is that um we need to be empathetic to those who are who are left and we need to find a way that everyone can grieve because that was something i had the pleasure to speak with them a little bit before council and going back to the um it's a lose-lose situation and people are hurting the people that are hurting are the same ones that are going to go out and hurt somebody else and now we live that cycle all over again so they said we need something we need to allow a way find a way for for our young men to learn how to grieve and to be allowed to grieve so that that was their their key i think message was that we need to allow students to to grieve their losses and to know that they are experiencing you know trauma every day and multiple times um depending on what neighborhood you live in and who you know so they will be presenting um i'll give you all a more information about that later but i do believe the mayor vice mayor sorry i'm not promoting yet sorry um has a presentation for for each one of these these girls because they have been advocates for those who are left behind in finding a way to include everyone in their grief and they've got some great ideas that maybe we can can look at as a whole as a council and perhaps put together some different events or some different memorials and make sure that everyone whose life has been touched by violence has been acknowledged and we all have a way to grieve and we acknowledge that everyone is grieving and sometimes the violence that comes after that is because people are grieving so i will hand it back over to the to the vice mayor to make the presentation Thank you. Well, we certainly appreciate all the work you've done to help us understand such a difficult situation. It's very helpful, I believe. It's my both pleasure and duty at the moment to represent the mayor and present a proclamation to each of the three young women in no particular order. And after I do that, we will all go forward and have a picture taken with the Council. So first, Teosha Raglanday.

We're very proud of what we have in County Cildare. Our county stands for 25% of the breeding stock in our country.

I'd just like to compliment Councillor Evans on her previous presentation and the three young students that got up to speak. I think sometimes it's an issue that we don't speak about and that young people's voices are not heard. And I'd just like to compliment everyone and Ms. McLaughlin on doing the presentation and letting young people be heard, whether it's a violent death or a death through suicide or at a young age, sometimes young people are forgot about.

However, due to the incline and weather we're expecting to get, that has been rescheduled to November the 11th at 9 a.m. It will be at 1748 Alley Sheep Away. So I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the new extension of the trail that we will eventually get going over to DePleasant Ridge. but it's great and people are using already using it so um so just wanted to make that announcement invite everyone to come out and join us thank you councilmember scutchfield thank you vice mayor i just want to i guess unfortunately my council aide is not here tonight because she is at sbdm training for frederick douglas high school that she is elected for sbdm um which is wonderful um but she would probably not have come if she had known anyway that I was going to say something nice about her. She has been my legislative aide for two years. I think she's pretty wonderful. She has been awesome with my constituent services, as well as advising me on some policy issues whenever they come up. She is moving on, so if you see her in the next couple of days, because she's moving on quickly, please tell her good luck. but she is going on to the prosecutor's advisory council in frankfurt which is very similar to what she did prior she will be developing a victim advocate program to train the victim advocates all across the state i wish her the best of luck i will miss her desperately but i know that she will do an awesome job so if you do see her please tell her thank you and good luck thanks Thank you. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just want to speak briefly to the passing of a 5th District constituent, Bill Jacobs. His son, Clay, and I went from 1st grade through 12th grade together. And there are times and occasions when I talk about the group of mothers that helped raise me right. And I don't really include men into that, but I got to think about it today. And he was one of the fathers that had influence and spent time with us. and he was a challenging individual. He appeared before us in more than one occasion, representing different folks and different causes. And I just wish peace for him and blessings for his family in this time of need. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Massadi. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Just wanted to remind everyone that Tuesday is trick-or-treat. Halloween in Lexington is Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. If you go to www.lexingtonky.gov, the Lexington Police Department has put out a safety sheet on what to do and what not to do for Halloween. And just want to make sure that everyone is safe and has a lot of fun and gets them great candy. That's all, Mayor. Vice Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I, too, want to ditto what Council Member Farmer said about Mr. Jacobs. I actually worked with him a lot here on numerous occasions, and I was very shocked and saddened when I saw that in the paper today. He was quite the gentleman, and I really appreciated our wonderful conversations. I also want to announce that we are having our third annual Veterans Day event, appreciation event, on November 11th at 10 a.m. this year. And it's going to be held along our new War Memorial Walk. and I am hoping that my colleagues will join me if they can and I'm also inviting all the public. We're going to have some special guests again I think this year and so I look forward to it and I would hope everybody can come out to join us. Thank you. Thank you. I see no one all signed up for announcements. That will bring us to public comments and I have Mr. Bernard McCarthy. I want to say first of all please do not rip out or shrink any of the streets we currently have we need more traffic handling capacity in this county not less of it the amount of money flowing into the state's road fund through state fuel taxes and the allocation of federal fuel taxes to our state is terribly inadequate there are far more needs than there are money if anything I wish that all of you would start charging developers traffic impact fees tacked on to the price of every building permit so as to generate some truly local revenue to put into streets specifically through streets not more dead-ins and I want to say also where that one presentation brought back memories of one person's death the fact that a gunfight with four shooters in presumably two on each side only kills bystander not one of the participants tells me our local criminals fight sloppier than any of the five sides battling each other in Syria at the moment thank you I have no one else signed up a comment I'll entertain a motion to adjourn motion is second without objection we stand adjourned . Thank you.
