All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. and next we have a couple of presentations. I'll begin by inviting Dr. Humboldt and Dr. Slovova to join me at the podium. All right. Tonight we are welcoming our commissioner again, our commissioner of health, Dr. Craig Humball and Dr. Slavova to the podium. Through her work, Dr. Slavova is giving us a clearer picture of the community's opioid epidemic. She has contributed to the health department's program to make life-saving naloxone kits available to those at highest risk. Dr. Slavova, we all know that Dr. Rice-Leach would have been very proud that you have been named a Dr. Rice-Leach Public Health Hero. Now I want to present this commendation, and then Dr. Humball has a presentation, and I will read it. a commendation honoring Dr. Svetla Slavova. Whereas each year the Lexington Fayette County Health Department's Board of Health gives the Dr. Rice Leach Public Health Hero Award to individuals who have demonstrated their dedication to improving the health of Lexington residents, and whereas the Board of Health has selected Dr. Svetla Slavova as the 2018 Dr. Rice C. Leach Public Health Hero, and whereas Dr. Slavova is an Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Kentucky College of Public Health and a faculty member at the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, and whereas Dr. Slavova has served as Principal's Investigator and Co-Investigator on projects supporting reducing prescription drug abuse in Kentucky and quality improvement in the Kentucky Trauma Registry. And she is widely published on topics related to injury surveillance and public health and safety. Whereas, Dr. Slavova has been active in helping Lexington and Kentucky be well for more than a decade. Now, therefore, I, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby recognize the many accomplishments of Dr. Svetla Slavova and recognize her as our 2018 Dr. Rice C. Leach Public Health Hero. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor Gray. We're pleased to honor Dr. Slavova. I've known her for several years now. She's truly deserving of this award. She's very committed to us, helping us understand what's going on in terms of the epidemic of substance use disorder here, not only in Lexington, but in the state and nationally. and she has helped the community secure naloxone kits that are available for those at highest risk and their families and friends. And we are truly honored to present her with the Public Health Hero Award. I also want to mention we have our board chair here, Ms. Casey Allen Bryant, and we'll both be presenting this annual award named after Dr. Rice C. Leach to Dr. Slavova. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Dr. Humboldt, members of the council. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve my community in this town that has been my home for the last 18 years of my life. I'm considering this award as a recognition for the role of the University of Kentucky public health researchers to find solutions to the opioid overdose epidemic. The top U.S. physician, the U.S. Surgeon General, issued a public health advisory last week emphasizing the importance of the overdose-reversing medication naloxone. The U.S. Surgeon General pointed that expanding the awareness and availability of naloxone in communities is a key part of the public health response to reducing opioid overdose deaths. Along with opioid abuse and drug dependence treatment and with primary prevention, I do believe that soon we will be able to turn the tide of the opioid epidemic. I'd like to use this opportunity to say thank you to my colleagues from the Lexington Fair County Health Department. for their dedicated work to improve the population health and to provide naloxone and other life-saving services to the most vulnerable and stigmatized community members. I want to say that on April 30th, a second class on training community members on naloxone distribution will be a naloxone administration will be held at the Lexington Fayette County Health Department. 200 naloxone kits, 400 naloxone doses will be distributed for free to community members. In the words of our U.S. Surgeon General, be prepared, get naloxone, save a life. I'm truly honored. I thank you so much for this award. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Massadi and Rob and Diane, will you all join me up here? Now, many of us know Rob and Diane because we have enjoyed a great meal at one of the Saul Good restaurants. But as many of you know, they have recently opened a place called a wonderful place, an extraordinary place called DV8 Kitchen. And what it represents is a second chance, a second chance employment opportunity for people looking for a fresh start. Rob and Diane, it's my pleasure to present you with a proclamation, and then Councilmember Massadi will have some remarks. I don't know how many of you all have been to DV8. Hold up your hands. But if you haven't, it is a treat. All right, so I'm going to read every single one of these, whereas is Rob and Diane. There's one, two, three, four, five, six of them. That's all right. It's worth it. Rob and Diane Perez Day. Whereas Rob and Diane Perez are the owners of Saul Good Restaurant and DV8 Kitchen, employing a total of 190 people. And whereas Saul Good has three locations in Lexington, opened its first location near Fayette Mall in March of 2008 and is celebrating its 10th year anniversary this year. And whereas DV8 Kitchen opened on South Broadway in August of 2017 and was developed as a second chance employment opportunity for folks, for people who are trying to redirect their lives. and whereas people in the early stages of substance abuse recovery often find it difficult to find employers willing to take a chance on them and whereas 16 of 23 employees at DV8 are second chance employees who attend weekly general employment workshops designed to pass along basic life skill knowledge, which will assist them in being successfully employed in any field. And, whereas, the last one, big one, thanks to Rob and Diane Perez, DV8 Kitchen is known for life-changing food. Now, therefore, I, Jim Gray, as mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare April 12, 2018, as Rob and Diane Perez Day in Lexington. . I just want to have a few words. I first met Rob Perez when we were talking about the minimum wage. And Rob and I had different opinions on it, but we both agree that what he's doing today is something that's very worthwhile in this community. Not everyone knows why they did this. And I just want to give you some background information. Most of us know that the food service industry is widespread with substance abuse. And according to a 2015 study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the food service and hospitality industry has the highest rates of substance use disorders, and the third highest rates of heavy alcohol usage of all employment sectors. And unfortunately, tragically, over the past ten years, alcohol and drugs have claimed the lives of more than 13 employees that worked at Saul Goods. So as a result, DBA Kitchen was opened as an extraordinary social enterprise. And Rob and Diane are to be commended for launching such a remarkable endeavor that is positively touching so many of us and so many lives in Lexington. DBA Kitchen was developed and operated as the mayor said, a second chance employment opportunity for people who are trying to redirect their lives. People in the early stages of substance abuse recovery often, as the mayor stated, find it real difficult to find a job and have an employer willing to employ them. But Rob and Diane were willing to take that chance. Currently, 16 of the 23 employees at DBA Kitchen are second chance employees. Rob and Diane believe that providing these individuals with employment at DV8 Kitchen will lead ultimately to a lifetime ability for people in substance abuse to recovery, to gain and maintain employment and deviate from their past lifestyle. DV8 Kitchen employees attend weekly workshops designed to pass along basic life skill knowledge, which will hopefully assist them in being qualified employees going forward in any field. If you've not tried DV8, and I know some of us have and some of us haven't, please do so. The food's fantastic, and it's the type of social enterprise that we welcome here in our city. And I'd like maybe Rob or Diane to come up and speak to your new type of enterprise. Thank you. You know, really, DV8 is just a wonderful testament to everybody in the bluegrass. I don't know how many people know about it, but what we did is Diane and I just kind of scratched the surface and shined a light on a subject that I think a lot of us worry about in our own town. And the reality of it is, is this is how great the Bluegrass is. We came up with a budget of $400,000, and we went to tradesmen, lawyers, CPAs, everybody that would help us open up a restaurant, and said, look, this is social enterprise. we don't have any money to gain out of this, would you pitch in? They knocked it down through their kind generosity down to a quarter million dollars. We went to then private investors and said, hey, do you want to do a really good thing through an investment, but it's a really bad investment? So they said, yes, tell us more. We said, well, if you pay $10,000 for this investment, we'll happily give you any dividends if there's any. And what you need to know that 7 out of 10 restaurants fell before their third year, and we went a 5-year interest-free loan. And guess what? It took us a full 7.5 weeks to get $300,000 because of the generosity of the people of Lexington. And my heart goes out, along with Diane, to the people that just made this happen. And it has zero to do with Diane and I. I mean, grace goes to God. And honestly, the people of Lexington that made it happen. And we're just so thrilled to be a small part of it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Madam Clerk, we are ready to proceed with the second reading of ordinances whenever you're ready, please. Ordinance number one, an ordinance amending article A1D20, the zoning ordinance to increase the size of the allowable accessory structures as amended for Rathia Temple and Cultural Center. Ordinance two, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington Fayette Army County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriating and reappropriating funds, because number 34.

All right. Next is public comments, Mr. Bernard McCarthy. Your Honor and members of the Council, I'd like to point out that besides my objection to tearing out the Jefferson Viaduct, And there is a different reason why I think that you spending borrowed money to expand the convention part of the Civic Center is a mistake. Our state is one of eight states still being boycotted by the state of California. Louisville claims to have already lost two conventions the first month or so that that that boycott went into effect, and I suspect that when you gamble borrowed money on conventions continuing to happen, that's a serious risk. There's the distinct possibility that as different states and different other entities try to boycott each other various political measures conventions might become extinct then what happens to this expensive facility and all the debt owed on it all right thank you mr. McCarthy that's all who signed on for public comment and that allows me to ask for a motion to adjourn motion by councilmember Fred Brown, second by Vice Mayor Kay. Unless there's objection, we're adjourned. Thank you. I'm not alone. Human Touch Human Touch Human Touch Human Touch you
