I will now recognize Councilmember Fred Brown, who will give the invocation tonight. your god uh We just pray that you continue to bless us. And if you have a plan, we just pray that the decision we made is to make the benefit of our community and your glory. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Council Member Brown. next on our docket tonight is a i'll ask for a motion to approve the minutes of the previous meetings that's uh april 10th april 12th april 26th and may 3rd council meetings motion by councilmember farmer second by vice mayor k is there any discussion on the motion all right hearing none we can vote all in favor please say aye Aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. We have one presentation tonight, and we are privileged to have with us Mr. Jim Frazier, who is chairman of the Downtown Lexington Management District, and Jim will share with us the 2019 budget for the Downtown Lexington Management District. Mr. Frazier, thank you, sir. Thank you, Mayor. Council, I'm here tonight. to present on behalf of the Downtown Lexington Management District a continuation budget. It's only for three months and I'll explain that in a minute. But what this budget represents, since we technically run out of money on theory July 1st, we need to get to you before that occurrence to give us time to work out our full budget for the fiscal year. The budget represents the same budget we all approved last year with the one exception of We have increased our contract with the block by block folks who are the vendors that do the sweeping on the street, the cleaning. We've added two safety ambassadors. These are folks that will come in to be dedicated solely to safety issues, to help escort people, to help supplement some of the things that our police force does. In addition, we also added some time to the cleaning folks. So we're spending more time on the streets cleaning and sweeping, and we hope you recognize that. So that plus the new safety ambassadors are the only real increase. The contract with block by block is $286,500 a fiscal year. And so you look at what we take in of roughly 409. The vast majority of our income goes out to that one vendor, but they provide the bulk of our on-the-street services and all that. And the reason I have a temporary budget is twofold. One, we have an RFP out currently for our vendor for next fiscal year. Actually, it's going to be, I think it's for a two-year term with renewals. The current vendor is block by block, but the DLP, the Downtown Lexington Partnership, has been the executive director of that contract for us. We decided it's best practices to put that out to bid, to let everybody have an opportunity to see if they would like to participate in it. So that bid closes, I believe, on the 27th of this month. So technically, we really are not in a position to formalize what our final numbers will be. So what I'm asking tonight is for you all to approve this continuation budget, if you will, with the increases I've outlined, which are really solely with the one vendor. And then I'll be back here on or before the 30th of September to present you with the final budget, amended budget, for our full fiscal year. So that's my pitch tonight. Any questions I can answer, hopefully? Thanks, Jim. Yeah, I'll open the floor to Councilmembers for comments or questions, and I believe we can probably get the comments through a discussion on a motion. Councilmember Gibbs, you have a motion, and then we'll get discussion, and that will bring in comments or questions. Thank you, Mayor. I move to place on the docket resolution approving the fiscal year budget for 2019 to the downtown Lexington Management District. So moved. Motion by Council Member Gibbs, seconded by Council Member Evans. Is there any discussion on the motion? If you'll please sign on, that'd be great. Anybody? All right, then if not, then we can vote.

Thank you, Mayor. I don't usually talk about some of the travels and things that I do, but for the last eight years, I've been part of a jewelry industry group that lobbies in the Capitol on behalf of mom-and-pop businesses. And we've lobbied for eight years for what we term Internet sales tax fairness, and I just got back from there today. And we were waiting kind of for a Supreme Court ruling we thought that would be on Monday, but it came down today that levels the playing field and will provide the opportunity for folks to sell things and know that wherever the purveyor is that they will pay a sales tax in Kentucky. So in my industry and for the things I sell, that makes a 6% difference. So that's a great thing. On the other side, once this has been codified in the right way, it will give the state of Kentucky the opportunity to collect sales taxes on the Internet on things sold. And on the high side, that would be $1.9 billion over five years. Now, it may not shake out that high, and things may change as we move forward, but it'll make hundreds of millions of dollars of difference in what the state has as opportunity to do things for our city. It's always interesting to be there. It's always great to come home, but this time we kind of got across the goal line. I wanted to share that. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Farmer. Councilmember Massadi. Thank you, Mayor. First of all, I want to wish Councilmember Peggy Henson a belated happy birthday. I understand yesterday was the big day, and you said, what, 39 again? So very, very good. I like that number. And also, this weekend at Lexington Green will be the 2018 Firefighter Combat Challenge. And our Lexington's 2017 Grand National Firefighter Combat Championship team will be among the firefighters from around the country competing right here in Lexington this weekend. Admission is free and the events kick off Saturday morning at 10 a.m. And they continue on Sunday. So if you want to have some fun to watch our firefighters compete this Saturday at the Hilton at Lexington Green. And that's all, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Sadi. All right. I believe that is nobody else. That's it. Okay. Then we will move to public comment. And tonight, Gina Daugherty. Gina, we welcome you back, Gina. And you're familiar with the three-minute rule. Right. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Okay. I noticed around Tuesday that the Herald-Leader had issued out a statement stating that, you know, the city of Lexington was fighting for Frankfurt to back up the HB bill pertaining to legalizing cannabis for the state of Kentucky. On the last time that I came before you guys, I presented the idea of possibly decriminalizing over the use of cannabis. So I'm just going to keep coming before everybody and just keep on pushing that we choose to do what's right. Because again, before everything else and before any title, before any paycheck, we are first and foremost children of God. This is a nation that says one nation under God. And the back of our currency says that we trust in God. In my opinion, it ought to be on both sides. Just a double reminder each and every time somebody pulls a dollar bill out and wants to go spend it, that hey, please remind yourself that God is the one that gave it to you. So 34 years old, and I'm just watching as the older generation, the younger generation, just doing nothing but continuously making a complete mockery out of Jesus Christ, their personal relationship with God, and that's the reason why we've got the problems that we've got as a nation, as a state, and as a people. So if you all please would not mind seriously considering taking the time out to choose to do what's right by God and Jesus, do what's right by the oaths that you all swore to take whenever y'all got into office, and do what's right by the people of Lexington, do what's right by our children, and allow the parents to be able to teach unto our kids that cannabis is here, cannabis came from God, and that it's okay for you to trust in God because, after all, America professes with so much religious freedom. And then we constantly keep on being persecuted because children are being stolen from us. We're being falsely accused of neglecting them without any evidence or any proof. And every time somebody says something, nothing is being done. So actions always speak louder than words. And I just want to remind the rich and the poor that it is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than it will ever be for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And that goes for the city of Lexington, that goes for Frankfurt, and that just goes for as far as this message is ever going to get, and only God knows that. So please choose to do what's right. Actions speak louder than words, and as long as we are waiting for what's right to be done, Mayor Jim Gray holds the keys to the city. Everybody else, he's got 12 people that surrounded him. The biggest symbolism, religious symbolism, because Fayette County, Woodford County, Scott County, Fayette County's the only one that's got 12 members sitting on this board. And then we've got six men, six women, everything's just for and equal. Please, the other 12 convince this man right here who holds the keys to the city to contact parole, probation. the judges have a meeting with everybody and tell everybody to not criminalize over the use of cannabis. I appreciate you all for your time and have a wonderful and blessed evening. Thank you. Thank you, Gina. We'll find those keys, too. Thank you. I've been looking for them for a long time, but I'm glad you know I've got them. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. That allows us to move to the motion to adjourn. Is there a motion to adjourn? Thank you. Unless there's objection, we are adjourned. The End Baby!
