During the session, the council conducted two formal votes on motions and heard one public comment from a community member. All three agenda items were informational in nature, serving to highlight important community initiatives and honor individuals and organizations making significant contributions to Lexington.

The specific contract amount was not disclosed in the available materials, though the resolution authorizes the procurement of snow removal equipment from this vendor.

These appointments fill various civic roles across environmental, cultural, social services, and administrative functions within the city government structure. ## Contested Items The council engaged in a heated discussion regarding the allocation of a $500,000 grant application for an opioid abuse program. The primary disagreement centered on how the funds should be utilized, with council members divided between two approaches. The debate focused on whether the grant money should be directed toward supporting first responders or allocated directly to rehabilitation services for individuals struggling with opioid addiction. Some council members advocated for using the funds to enhance first responder capabilities and resources, while others expressed a strong preference for directing the money toward direct rehabilitation services that would provide treatment and support to those affected by opioid abuse. The discussion was characterized as heated, indicating significant disagreement among council members about the most effective use of the substantial grant funding. The $500,000 amount represented a significant opportunity to address the opioid crisis in the community, making the allocation decision particularly important and contentious. The nature of the disagreement suggests differing philosophies among council members about how best to combat the opioid epidemic - whether through strengthening emergency response capabilities or investing in treatment and recovery programs. However, the outcome of this debate and any final decision reached by the council was not specified in the available information. ## Recognition of Community Action Month [timestamp: 01:00] Vice Mayor Kay presented agenda item 0554-18, a proclamation declaring May 2018 as Community Action Month in Lexington.

I'm going to move to the podium. . this first recognition is about community action month and i'd like to invite michael malcolm rashford and sharon price with community action council to join me at the podium yes no i'm coming okay so a few words and then i'll read and then i'll give you a chance to speak so may is national community action month across the country and we're fortunate here in lexington and central kentucky to have a strong organization that works very effectively towards solutions to combat the causes and effects of poverty in our communities as part of the national recognition we want to take a moment at tonight's meeting to thank the members of the community action council and present this proclamation i will do this on behalf of mayor gray and the proclamation reads whereas community action connects individuals and families to approaches that help them succeed and promotes community-wide solutions to challenges throughout our cities, suburbs, and rural areas. And whereas Community Action builds and promotes economic stability as an essential aspect of enabling and enhancing stronger communities, which in turn promotes self-sufficiency, ensuring that all Americans are able to live in dignity. And whereas Community Action implements innovative programs that create a greater chance of success for everyone, focusing on a broad range of community challenges to ignite economic growth and ensure all families can benefit. And whereas community action provides life-changing services and opportunities, including affordable housing, health care, energy assistance, and natural disaster relief. And whereas, finally, community action serves 99% of the nation's counties, including Fayette. Now, therefore, it reads, I, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare May 2018 Community Action Month in Lexington. Thank you. Good evening. I want to thank the Mayor and each City Council member for this proclamation today for Community Action Council. It is Community Action Month and one of the things we discovered not too long ago in our deep, deep files in the basement was a resolution from 1968 from the City Commission before the government here merged, acknowledging Community Action Council as your designated Community Action Agency to accept funding from the Economic Opportunity Act. And so that's something that we probably hadn't seen before. We'll get it to you if you want a copy, but I just want to encourage you guys to continually support Community Action. We love this community, and we're really helping to serve and create pathways out of poverty for everyone, from our babies to our seniors. So just thank you all once again for all of your support. Thank you. We'll have a picture with council, if we can. Thank you. Thank you so much. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And now I'd like to ask Public Safety Commissioner Ken Armstrong to join me at the here at the podium, if you will. We have another special proclamation tonight. It's National Police Week, and we've got representatives of our law enforcement community here with us. Every member of this council places the highest priority on public safety. We want our citizens to feel safe in their homes and in the neighborhoods. It's the top priority of our budget, and that's true this year and every year. As a council and as a city, we hold the men and women who put their lives on the line for our citizens in the highest regard. National Police Week is an opportunity to honor them. Now, Ken is going to introduce the law enforcement representatives we have here with us tonight in just a minute. But first, on behalf of Mayor Gray, I would like to present this proclamation. National Police Week. Whereas May 15 has been designated as National Police Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which it falls as National Police Week, and whereas it is important that citizens know and understand the numerous sacrifices, challenges, duties, and responsibilities of law enforcement officers, and whereas the members of the Lexington Police Department, the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, the Fayette County Public Schools Law Enforcement, the University of Kentucky Police Department, the Transylvania University Police Department, Department of Public Safety, Bluegrass Airport Public Safety, Fayette County Attorney, the Commonwealth's Attorney, and all other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies recognize their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property, by protecting them from violence and disorder, and by protecting the innocent from deception and the weak from oppression or intimidation. and whereas the citizens of Lexington are fortunate to have dedicated, modern, well-trained, and well-equipped law enforcement agencies that provide a vital and essential public surface. Therefore, now I, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare May 13th through 19th, 2018, National Police Week in Lexington. Thank you. Thank you. Vice Mayor Kay and the Council for allowing me to say just a few words about this special recognition and thank you for taking the time to formally honor the local, state, and federal law enforcement professionals who risk their safety each and every day to protect and ensure the safety of the others and to ensure justice is served. The women and men who decide to serve their community in the capacity of a law enforcement professional are truly special people. The long hours, the late hours, the working weekends and holidays, the very hot days and the very cold nights. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They provide service to those in need and do so in a professional and compassionate manner. I have personally learned and seen that the brotherhood and sisterhood of law enforcement professionals runs very deep here in Lexington and it is truly a combined effort that occurs in addressing our city's needs. Whether it's combating violent crime, addressing the opiate problem, providing victim assistance programs, or responding to major events, teamwork and cooperation is the key to having a safe city, and we are very lucky to have all the partners we have and the strong relationships we share. I can also guarantee you this, that not all cities experience this joint effort mentality in addressing issues, and most cities would be jealous of what they saw here tonight. At this time, on behalf of Mayor Gray and the Council and the citizens of Lexington, I'd like to take a moment to recognize and thank the law enforcement agencies and leadership who are present here tonight. As I call their names, I would ask them to come to the front and to the horseshoe and bring their representatives as well so we can have a photograph afterwards. I would like to begin by recognizing Sheriff Kathy Witt, who represents the Fayette County Sheriff's Office. I would now like to recognize Chief Martin Schaefer, representing Fayette County Schools Division of Law Enforcement. Next, I'd like to recognize Lieutenant Eric Scott, who is representing the University of Kentucky Police Department. Next is Chief Scott Lantern, who is representing the Bluegrass Airport's Department of Public Safety. Next, Chief Greg Moravchek, who is representing Transylvania University's Department of Public Safety. Next, Commonwealth Attorney Luanna Redcorn, representing the Commonwealth Attorney's Office. You sure? And lastly, but certainly not least, our own, very own, Chief Lawrence Weathers with the Lexington Police Department. Finally, and once again, we want to thank each of you and the agencies you lead for helping make our city a wonderful place to visit, work, and live. Thank you. Now we'll take a minute for a photo. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. One more. If I can have people's attention while they file out. I'd like to invite Hadil Abdallah to join me at the podium. Welcome. So today we want to honor Hadil with this Spirit of Lexington Award, which I'm going to read and then I'll have a few words and then Hadil will have a few words, I hope. So the Spirit of Lexington Award for Hadil Abdallah, in recognition of her many accomplishments, including being named a 2018 Truman Scholar, I, Jim Gray, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby I recognize Hadil Abdallah, University of Kentucky Student Government Director of Inclusion and Outreach, founder of the Masjid Bilal Ibn Rabah Scholarship, former president of the UK Muslim Student Association, and former National Outreach Director for the Muslim Youth of North America with the Spirit of Lexington Award. And if I may, a few words really personal because, among other things, Hadil served as an intern in my office last fall. I first met Hadil, I believe, a couple of years ago when she was part of an organizing group that was working on bringing our community together, the diversity issues. She has worked in her scholarship on issues of civic engagement, how to get people more involved in their community, how to make our community more welcoming for all the diversity that is represented here. I was impressed from the beginning. I continue to be impressed. The Truman Scholars, if people don't know, is a signal honor. Very few students around the country receive this honor. I believe 10 or 12 over the years at UK, something like that. but hadila has really done an incredible amount of good work in our community and this is a very fitting recognition so before we take a photo i'll let her say a word or two um i just wanted to say thank you so much to vice mayor kay mayor jim gray the lexington city council and Nathan Dickerson as well, who have mentored and helped me through every step of the way. Leaders like you all have helped me accomplish my goals, not only as a university student, but as a Lexington citizen. And a few words that I wanted to say was the scholarship developed. I'm very honored to be named a Truman Scholar, but the scholarship that I'm currently working on developing with Vice Mayor Kay's office, as well as with Nathan and other University of Kentucky officials, was named after Bilal Ibn Rabah. That's the name of the mosque in Lexington. And Bilal himself was an African slave. He was the first African slave to accept Islam. And he had overcome extreme oppression in his time. But he had made so much generational change that his impact is felt to this very day. And that is why the scholarship is named in honor of him. And in honor of the people of the black individuals who came to this country and of black Muslims in this community. Who have made it possible for me and for so many others. I stand on the shoulder of giants and I'm very appreciative of the Lexington City Council today as well as the University of Kentucky for giving me this opportunity. Thank you so much. Thank you. And now I invite Hadil and her family and Nathan, why don't you get in this picture too? We'll go up front. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I believe that brings us the next item on our agenda is ordinances for a second reading. Madam Clerk, when you're ready.

Thank you. Are there any motions for walk-ons? Councilmember Farmer. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I have one walk-on. I move to place on the docket a resolution authorizing the Mayor on behalf of the Urban County Government to execute a lease agreement with Scheinhart Limited Liability Company for space at 141-143 East Main Street in consideration of annual rent in the amount of $33,844.68 for fiscal year 2019, which amount shall increase by 2.2% each fiscal year until the lease is expiration at the inclusion of fiscal year 2023. So moved. 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. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I move to place on the docket under resolutions first reading a resolution authorizing and directing the mayor to execute and submit a grant application to the United States Department of Justice under the comprehensive opioid abuse site-based program and to provide any additional information requested in connection with this grant application, which grant funds are in the amount of $500,000 federal funds are for facilitation of access to substance abuse treatment services for individuals experiencing non-fatal overdoses. Second. Motion to second. Discussion on the motion? Council Member Fred Brown. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I don't know who can speak to it. Is there a match on this at all? Do we have any monies we have to put up? No, sir, Council Member Brown. This is very similar to a grant application we submitted last year. This is just another funding round, but it's no match required. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Evans. Council Member Ford, don't sit down. I'm curious to where this money would be going to what division, what department, and exactly what would it be used for. It's very similar to the proposal we submitted last year. is in regards to first responders, and we look forward to working again with Commissioner Armstrong, Chief Chilton, and Chief Weathers. Our first responders spend a lot of time in responding to overdoses that are not fatal. This allows us an opportunity to follow up with those citizens in our community after they go through that traumatic incident and trying to provide resources for them to ultimately find their way to the services and treatment that they need. Unfortunately, because that's not what our first responders are designed to do, but this would allow to complement the work that they do to save lives here in our community. And again, how would that money be spent? I guess I don't understand, and it's a grant, and we don't know if we're going to get it, and that's fine. And I don't want to look like I'm questioning a gift horse in the mouth, but $500,000 could be used to actual services, people providing rehabilitation services. So I'd like to know how $500,000 would be spent as it relates to, I mean, first responders. Like, what's the need for those funds? What are they going to be doing that's in addition? And if I'm correct, the premise of the grant we submitted last year was to allow for a personnel at the fire department that would be a social worker primarily to follow up with our first responders to get the residents to treatment. I will say, however, we submitted last year, and the grant is not due until June 7th. That's why we're walking it on this evening. We still have some work to do in working with our public safety officials to make sure that we can submit the best application we possibly can. And council members, I'll be glad to provide that information to you guys prior to submittal. But there's more funding available in this round, and we feel that it's in our best interest to pursue it. And I, again, don't question actually pursuing it, but, again, I'd like to see funds actually used for rehabilitation services. Because I think that's where people get the treatment they actually need. And so if there can be a component to those agencies that actually provide services to that population, I would really very much like to see them get a portion of that money. In closing, Vice Mayor, Council Member Evans, this funding source does not allow for that. We are pursuing the activities that this funding source allows for, but your focus, we will pursue if other funding opportunities make themselves available. And one more question. So how many individuals would be, $500,000 would cover? How many, are we talking about additional individuals or people already on the force or new positions that would be coming up based on this? Council member, I'll have to provide that additional information to you. I'm not prepared this evening. Okay. But I'm hoping that the council will allow us to apply. All right, thank you. Thank you. Any further discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I move to place on the docket for tonight's meeting a resolution accepting the unit price bid of Site 1 landscape supply in the amount of $56 per ton, not to exceed an estimated amount of $25,000 for ball field infill mix for the Division of Parks and Recreation. So move. I have a motion and a second. Discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. Council Member Farmer. Is the motion in order? I need to get first readings. No further walk-ons. If I can get first readings of the three that have been proposed. Thank you. Yes, sir.

In advance of us being off for a couple of weeks and unable to vote on things, I'd like to make a motion to give all the resolutions a second reading. So moved. I have a motion and a second to give all resolutions a second reading. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion duly noted.

I'd like to point out that a storm drainage inlet at the intersection of 5th Street and upper appears to not be working. The water's not going down it. I think something is clogged up. And I couldn't really say how long this drain has been malfunctioning, but in all the years I've lived on Harry Street, I can't remember a time when it ever worked like it was supposed to. Of course, this probably being close to the highest point in the area, it's probably not got water draining from other inlets through the same pipe. And that may be why it's not been noticed as much before, but I wish somebody would go and try to unclog it. Thank you. Nobody else signed up? A motion to adjourn? Move. Second. Without objection, we stand adjourned. Make the best of what you've left to me
