This infrastructure investment will expand the city's fiber optic network in the Man O' War Boulevard and Clays Mill Road corridor. **Insurance Coverage** Resolution 0609-18 addressed excess liability insurance coverage for fiscal year 2019, involving a $487,973.67 contract with Safety National Casualty Corporation. This represents the city's annual investment in comprehensive liability protection beyond standard coverage limits. The two contracts combined represent approximately $815,482.67 in municipal expenditures, with the insurance contract comprising the larger portion at nearly 60% of the total financial commitments reviewed during this meeting. ## Appointments The council approved multiple appointments and reappointments to various city boards and commissions during the meeting. **Administrative Hearing Board** • Joe Buckles was appointed to the Administrative Hearing Board **Board of Architectural Review** • James Dickinson was reappointed to the Board of Architectural Review • Graham Pohl was reappointed to the Board of Architectural Review • Sarah Tate was reappointed to the Board of Architectural Review • Joshua Gilpin was appointed to the Board of Architectural Review **Civil Service Commission** • John Burrell was appointed to the Civil Service Commission **Commission on Veterans' Affairs** • Richard Curtis was appointed to the Commission on Veterans' Affairs **Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau** • Sally Hamilton was appointed to the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau • Scott White was appointed to the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau The appointments included both new members and reappointments of existing members to continue their service on these municipal boards and commissions. The Board of Architectural Review received the most attention with three reappointments and one new appointment, reflecting ongoing activity in architectural review matters within the city. ## Contested Items The council addressed one contested item during the July 3, 2018 meeting that resulted in a split vote among members. **Zoning Change for Armstrong Mill Road** The primary point of contention involved an ordinance to rezone property on Armstrong Mill Road from Agricultural Rural to Planned Neighborhood Residential. While the measure ultimately passed, it did not receive unanimous support from the council. The vote concluded 14-1 in favor of approving the zoning change, with Councilmember Worley casting the sole dissenting vote. The specific reasons for Councilmember Worley's opposition were not detailed in the available meeting materials, nor were the arguments presented by supporters of the rezoning clearly documented. This zoning change represents a shift from agricultural use to residential development, which typically allows for higher-density housing and neighborhood-style development patterns. Such rezoning decisions often involve considerations of community growth, infrastructure capacity, environmental impact, and compatibility with surrounding land uses. Despite Councilmember Worley's opposition, the strong majority support (14 out of 15 voting members) indicated broad council consensus in favor of the residential rezoning for the Armstrong Mill Road property. ## Ordinances – Second Reading [timestamp: 10:00] The council conducted second readings of several ordinances during this agenda item. The proceedings were led by key speakers Henson and Farmer, who presented the ordinances for final consideration. The ordinances under review included zoning changes and amendments to the authorized strength of various municipal divisions. These measures had previously undergone first reading and were now being presented for final approval. During the discussion, council members reviewed the proposed zoning modifications and staffing adjustments for city departments. The amendments to authorized strength levels for various divisions represented updates to personnel allocations across municipal operations. The ordinances were approved following the second reading process, completing the required legislative procedures for their adoption. ## Resolutions – Second Reading [timestamp: 20:00] The council conducted second reading of several resolutions during this agenda item. Key speakers included Farmer and Plomin, who presented the resolutions for final consideration. The resolutions addressed various municipal matters including: • Acceptance of bids for city projects • Ratification of appointments to city positions or boards During the second reading process, council members reviewed the resolutions that had previously been introduced and discussed during first reading. This procedural step allows for final consideration and voting on the proposed measures. The resolutions were presented without significant debate or concerns raised by council members. The standard second reading format was followed, allowing for any final questions or modifications before the voting process. All resolutions presented during this agenda item were approved by the council, completing the legislative process for these municipal matters. --- ## Decisions - **0670-18** — passed (14-1): An Ordinance changing the zone from an Agricultural Rural (A-R) zone to a Planned Neighborhood Residential (R-3) zone for property located at 2451 and 2525 Armstrong Mill Road. - **0623-18** — passed (15-0): An Ordinance creating Subsection 2-172(I) of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Code of Ordinances pertaining to the application of transient room taxes to short term rentals. - **0666-18** — passed (15-0): An Ordinance amending the authorized strength by abolishing and creating various positions in the Div. of Government Communications, Public Safety, General Services, Water Quality, Facilities and Fleet Management, Coroner’s Office, Police, and Fire and Emergency Services. --- ## Full transcript We've got to care I, if I stay here without you Don't you darling, I I want you laying in the love I have to bring If I do everything, it's gonna be your everything We're no strangers to love You know the rules And so do I I feel commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just want to tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie And hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but You're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I feel it Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Give you love Give you love Never gonna give, never gonna give Give you love Never gonna give, never gonna give Give you love We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but You're too shy to say this.

One is the annual fire safety festival on August 1st at the Boston Road Shopping Center. It starts at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I'm sorry, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. And then also, just quickly, I was looking on the website at the Neighborhood Action Match Program page, and it said that it wasn't funded, and I just wanted a quick response so someone could tell me why it wasn't funded. What was the question? I'm sorry. The Neighborhood Action Match Program, it says on the website not funded, and it's something that I know the neighborhoods take advantage of every year. Melissa, you got something on that. I was curious why it wasn't funded. um that was just part of the budget cuts that we made to balance the budget when we looked at the balances that were available for the program i believe it was in the 60 to 70 thousand dollar range that were still outstanding projects that haven't been completed by neighborhoods so there was still a little bit of money left for projects that were completed and then ongoing projects it was just part of the budget it was just a reduction i just know these neighborhoods really count on this grant and i was kind of surprised that it wasn't here because i know my neighborhoods a lot of them take advantage of it if if there is a neighborhood that's wanting to do something coming up for 19 is there any way to have their project funded or is this completely out we are working with Charlie on getting completed grants closed out and then once those grants are closed out then whatever money is left over the process could be open back up the application process could be open back up and people could apply for that money that's been left over that hasn't been spent what time do you anticipate that would happen I'm not sure nothing here comes really I just want to wonder if it would roll over because I mean that's the thing that we always I always push is are these matching grant funds because the neighborhoods use them we're finalizing that right now and actually anticipate having a number and putting it back out for applications later this month okay so you let us know when that happens in the in the balance and so forth yes we will okay thank you that's all me okay thank you council member Saudi no one has signed up for public comment so that allows me to ask for a motion to adjourn by councilmember extended second by vice mayor k unless there's objection we're adjourned The End Right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted Today we are at the Casual Pint, which is a craft beer market in downtown Lexington. And recently they had a local market that featured several different artists and vendors from Lexington, which I was able to participate in. I really hadn't thought about setting up at a market in Lexington, but I was approached by some of the owners of the Casual Pint and asked to participate. and I thought it was a really great opportunity for me being very new to this business and new to the whole local art scene in Lexington. It was kind of a great way to get my foot in the door and some exposure and to meet people and kind of see what it was all about. Yeah, my first market experience, I was really excited because I'd never done anything like that previously, but I was definitely nervous. but it was so casual and laid back and everyone was so friendly and helpful and it was so great to meet other people in Lexington doing similar things and also very different things. The first market was awesome. It was a small kind of intimate setting. There were a lot of people that came through and it was great just to meet people and to be able to talk with them face to face and not just communicate online but really have that interaction with customers. It was pretty powerful and a lot of fun. Stillwater Shop is a shop that I started that offers a combination of watercolors and prints featuring different lettering of quotes or Bible verses or song lyrics, things that have been inspiring and encouraging to me. Also includes calligraphy that's commissioned work, which could be wedding invitations or signs for weddings, nursery signs. So really a combination of some things that I'm just really passionate about. I've always been interested in the arts. I'm a teacher by day and kind of spend evenings painting and doodling and lettering. And throughout college and after college, I started doing some different projects for people on the side. And it started to become kind of difficult to keep up with everything. so I decided it was probably time to just officially venture out and start Stillwater Shop and it's been a really great experience. Officially, I opened the Stillwater Shop at the end of last summer in 2017. I had previously been doing some work on the side.
