We're asking that the prayers that we send up to you, that the blessings rain down upon us to make a way for all of us here in Fayette County to prosper. We asked it all in your son Jesus Christ's name. Amen. Amen. And amen. All right. All right, thank you so much Aaron for joining us tonight. I'll ask for a motion to adopt the minutes of the October 5th, 25th, 2018 and November 1st, 2018 council meetings. Is there a motion please? Motion by Council Member Massati, seconded by Council Member Henson. 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. Presentations is next, and I want to welcome J.D. Chaney, who is Deputy Executive Director of the Kentucky League of Cities, and Brianna Carroll to the podium. And then after that, and after the presentation, J.D., then we'll have some pictures. So you all will join us up here. Pike, please, sir. Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. We had so much fun last time. We thought we would come back and do another legislative award. Please don't be irritated by the number of legislative awards. If legislators here from Lexington are getting legislative awards, that means they're doing things that help help the city government. So the more frequently we can be here, probably the better off it's going to be. It's not really often that we have that many legislators from Lexington that embrace these ideas of home rule and other things that the league advances. Tonight we're here to honor the work of a retiring legislator who's represented the city of Lexington for a while in the Kentucky House of Representatives, and that's Representative Robert Benvenuti. And for the past couple of years, he's worked with us on straightening out Kentucky's body cam footage laws. There were a lot of difficulties with regard to the retention of body cam footage. he was able to put together a coalition with the Kentucky Press Association, the ACLU, the FOP, the Kentucky League of Cities, and probably pass what I would call one of the best body camera provisions across the United States. You know you're doing something when you can get the FOP and the ACLU and the Press Association and the League of Cities and the prosecutors. The defense attorneys weren't typically excited about it, but it was still a rather impressive coalition that's going to reduce costs. The Lexington FOP participated in that. I think the law department here helped craft that bill, and so it was an effort with the city of Lexington along with other city officials throughout the rest of the state. The other thing you can count on Representative Benvenuti to do is push legislation that really protects local control. when we had a bill in the House of Representatives that came over from the Senate last session that prohibited Frankfurt from sending you unfunded mandates. It was Representative Benvenuti that did a whole lot of the legwork to get that bill released and on the House floor. So he certainly ascribes to the principles of home rule and local control and less dictates from Frankfurt so you all can make the best decisions you all can on behalf of your constituents. So on behalf of the League of Cities Board of Directors, join me in congratulating Representative Ben Venuti for being a 2018 Kentucky Friend of Cities Award recipient. Good evening, everybody. Thanks for having me. I want to thank the Kentucky League of Cities for providing me with this award. Let me say something on their behalf. They spoke enough about me. Let me just tell you that the work they do in Frankfurt is tireless. You know, a lot of people hang out in Frankfurt and watch. There are few that get over there, roll up their sleeves and work day and night. And that's what it takes to be successful because you all know it takes a lot to get a piece of legislation moving and then get get it passed by both the House and the Senate. And I can tell you that J.D. and Brianna work harder than anybody I've ever seen over there day and night communications all through the night, making sure that they're trying to get coalitions together in order to get positive legislation passed for the city. So my goal has always been to pass legislation that is focused on public safety. I think we would all agree that as elected officials, the first primary role of government is to protect our citizens, allow them to get out there and do what they do every day and drive our economy, and that has certainly been one of my primary goals. So I thank you all. I laugh at the word retirement. I've probably got a good 25 years before retirement, unfortunately, well into my 70s, hopefully. But what I'm doing is simply term limiting myself. I think that that's an important function. When you think you've done what you can do, it's time to move on. So, again, I appreciate what you all do each and every day, your hard work, Mayor Yu, leading our city for a long time now. And I wish you the best of luck as you move forward. And, again, great thanks to the Kentucky League of Cities. Thank you very much. Thank you. Mr. Representative, please join us. We'd love to get a picture with you. Thank you. yeah all right i'm going to ask council member massadi if she will move to the podium and she's already moving in that direction and has moved so uh council member massadi will introduce victoria meyer who will update the council on the work of america in bloom thank you mayor and thank you And council members, Victoria, if you wouldn't mind coming to the mic. Victoria Meyer is my representative for the ninth district for the parks board. And not only is Victoria the representative there, she was also instrumental in getting Katsina, the first woman's statue to Wellington Woman's Garden. Plus, Victoria has been a friend of mine, a dear, dear friend for, what, 30 plus years, Victoria? You're staying our age now. So when it comes to volunteering, Victoria and volunteering are in the same sentence. I mean, a lot of you know her because that's what she does. She volunteers. She's your basic citizens activist, and she doesn't stop. She doesn't say no. And the reason why Lexington has so many wonderful things is because of people like Victoria. So Victoria has just participated in America in Bloom, so I'd like to let her give her rendition of what happened this year. and i believe she's handed out some um information packs to you and so victoria you're on stage thanks thanks jennifer thanks good i'm so happy to be in front of all you all um i have the the privilege and the honor of coming here to thank you for your donation to council and the mayor to our national america in bloom symposium that we had here in september I have some pictures. Are they coming? Okay. Okay. So America in Bloom seems like this kind of fluffy sort of a name, and I just want you to know, and I know you all understand, and that's why you made the donation, but it also includes environmental efforts, heritage and history efforts, and the big one that they added this year is community vitality, and that is certainly something that Lexington has in spades, is community vitality. And so here's some of our folks opening the symposium there at the Griffin Gate. We had the honor of educating and entertaining over 200 people at the Griffin Gate between the 27th and 29th of September. And I wanted to show you that the booklet we developed, if you look on page 11, is where it says our Lexington Fayette Urban County Council, and thank you to you. and I just can't say enough about how it went off because it couldn't have happened without the terrific employees that we have here in Lexington. And where did Angela and John go? Oh, here they are, Angela Poe and John Saylor. And really, Angela sort of masterminded this whole walking tour that you see here. And you can find this on our website if you have people that come into the community that you want to show. It's 1.3 miles. It's beautiful, well done. And I have to say Sam Crenshaw out loud because he did all of the graphics on here and just did a fabulous, fabulous job. So we thank you for your donation. And I just wanted to tell you a little bit about what people experienced when they came to our fair city. They were encouraged to come early and stay late. Some went to the Lexington Cemetery. Some went to different horse farms. And then, of course, the races started afterwards, so that was great. we had the opening by the mayor and you saw monica and susan there we had decided actually kay cannon one of our who was vice president of our local american bloom program has since passed and and we're very sorry about that but she decided that when the national comes to a city they should leave a permanent legacy and so we started the legacy garden here at the Griffin Gate and that was the first legacy garden that we've had for America in Bloom nationwide. Then at Friday we went to the Arboretum and had a tour there and the Arboretum staff did a fabulous job of touring people around and then John Karloftis and Dale Fisher invited us to Bothram for a lovely relaxing time after the walking tour. We also published this self-guided dining guide. So we brought all these people into downtown to eat instead of just eating at the hotel. They had a special system worked out for reservations and it brought a lot of business into our downtown after they had walked around. So that was great. We had, on Saturday was our day to really shine, the local group. And we had lunch at Fasig-Tipton, which was catered by Weta Michael and her group, so that was great. It highlighted our local foods and our local farms. We had a demonstration there by the Makers Mark Secretariat Center for Reschooled Thoroughbreds, and that was a really interesting time. They walked some of the miniature horses right around while they were eating. The bus rides had a script that went through them that talked about the history. So you can imagine getting 220 or whatever number of people on buses all hearing the same message. And Foster Aukerman from the Lexington History Museum wrote the scripts for us, and they were amazingly timed so that when the bus drove past that spot, we were talking about that spot. So it worked out great. And then folks were divided up after lunch into visible groups using these derby winter pins. So they each had their group. One was the secretariat. One was affirmed. one was california chrome like that and i just can't say enough about how angela and her staff masterminded this whole crazy um effort to have this many people at 12 stops in lexington they all landed on buses at the same time and then we went chink chink chink and we had shepherds timekeepers and hosts and speakers so there were 70 volunteers that we used from the community just for the walk. So you can imagine that this brought in a whole lot of people who weren't together normally in our city, and that was a great contribution, I felt, to community vitality. Six of the stops had local beverages, so you can imagine what those are. And four of the stops had local foods, so we had beer, cheese, and bread pudding, and all the normal things that we would normally have in Lexington. And of course we also had a whole bunch of homemade bourbon balls that the Griffin Gate was kind enough to let us do in addition to their catering. And at 1130 that night I still had people texting me wanting the recipe. So and at the end of the program the folks all gave us a standing ovation. So that was just wonderful. We felt like we really were able to show off our city. We did, of course, get some awards because Lexington is such a great city and Angela and John have the awards. And we just want to thank you. We had an award for the population category. We had an award for urban forestry. So we've really done a good job, I feel like, improved over the last five years that we've had America in bloom visible in town. And we just want to thank you for helping us show off our fabulous city. Thank you all so much for your donation. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. John and Angela, thank you all so much. Yeah, that was just a remarkable event. It was really, really so well done.

Thank you, mayor. All right. I believe we have some motions. If you'll please sign on. Councilmember Lamb. Thank you, mayor. Everybody should have the copy of the resolution and the motion that the administration has asked me to walk on. this would be number 50. I move to place on the docket for tonight's council meeting a resolution accepting the bid of all pro lawn and landscaping establishing a price contract for snow removal for the division of facilities and fleet management. I so move. Motion by Council Member Lamb, second by Council Member Henson. Is there any discussion? All right, Council Member Gibbs. Thank you Mayor. John could you tell us a little bit about this one so I don't know anything about it including the price it's there is no what we've solicited was services for ice and snow removal from the properties that facilities and fleet management controls sidewalks anything in the downtown area that we manage as well as for example Red Mile campus the old Faroe's area and so forth so what we do with advertise every three years and and solicit the unit prices per area as we experience snow and ice, then we call the contractors and they'll take care of the areas. So the price contract actually got a unit price for each of those, but the total contract amount would be contingent upon the number of snow events or ice events that we will have. This is a price contract for that. Okay, so we don't have to put anything up front to keep them on call then? No, no. Okay. This is just per service. Thanks, John. Sure. Thank you, Mayor. All right. Councilman, okay, we've got any further discussion on the motion? All right. If not, we can vote. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, no. Motion passes. Councilman Farmer.

The vote reflects passage of the motion. and that allows us to move to communications from the mayor. Is there a motion? Is there a motion to approve? Second. Motion by Vice Mayor Kaye, seconded by Council Member Plowman. Is there any discussion on the motion? Council Member Stennett. Thank you, Mayor. I have some concerns on the rural land management piece of this motion. This is an item that's still in committee that actually should be on the December 4th docket because council member bledsoe headed a subcommittee that hasn't finished reporting out yet to the full committee there are also some motions made at last month's committee that have not been brought to the full council that changes the membership structure of this board so i would ask that we table the rural land management until the december 4th council meeting so that the committee can finish its work report out at work session and then we can address the membership of the committee at that time which would be fair because again this item's in our committee and and we're discussing working through this and it hasn't been reported out to the full council the commissioner has asked told me as well that they the administration was waiting on the council to dispose of this in committee before appointing two members that have been vacant technically since april so i don't think it's fair to bring them forward yet until the committee finishes its work and the full council gets that report out which we haven't yet on december 4th so i'd make make a motion to table it until December 4th. So moved. Second. Okay. Motion to table. Motion by Council Member Stenet, second by Council Member Farmer, and motion to table. Not debatable, so we will vote. Oh, what is the... I think since it's a motion to table, it's not a motion to table, it's a motion to postpone to a specific time. So it is debatable. It is debatable. All right, good. But it is postponing. If it's a motion to... I'll take the main offer, Vice Mayor. I just want to clarify what the motion is. If it's a motion to table without a specific time, it's not debatable. Are you amending your motion? I did. All right, I'll accept that. All right. So we have a motion to table and a second. And so since it's not debatable, I guess I better not say anything. I'll call for the vote reluctantly. All right. All in favor of the motion to table, please indicate by saying aye and voting electronically. And those opposed? Oh, on board Pharma. Do I get to break this tie? No. Vote fails. I'm so sorry. That's all right. I've got more. But again, this circumvents the council's process. it's an item in committee councilman bledsoe chaired the committee she hasn't finished her work so mayor we didn't you brought them forward but it has nothing to do with the nomination mayor it has to do with the process because december 4th we're still talking about this if the chair can get it done on the agenda okay all right the motion does fail all right okay all right councilman Evans oh this is gonna be fun okay um well I I did have questions about some other appointments the ones appointing council members are they filling positions designated to council members which ones are you talking about the affordable housing the arboretum and the convention center visitor bureau because I guess I would have procedural questions if they're. No, they're not. They're not? No. Okay. Not to my knowledge. They're not. Are they, Jeff? No. Council Member, Vice Mayor. I believe the Affordable Housing Fund is, in fact, there are two council members who are serving voting members, but ex-officio. I believe that's the way they are. Okay, so some of the boards that we have, they're specifically designated as council member positions. Is that a position that's being repointed? Well, the answer was that they are ex officio positions. Okay. Mayor, if I ask who? Melissa. Melissa, that's right. Melissa, can you help us with this? You want to go to the podium, Melissa? Okay, well then, as we're waiting for that, and again, this is not against any council members specifically, going to the convention center and visitors bureau, because we've been having conversations about expanding our appointments and making it more diverse and getting the public more involved, I am concerned that it's being replaced by a council member that has access to it it's designated as a resident of fayette county which that council member obviously is but again i think in the spirit of what the conversation has been with the council i would have preferred to see a non-council member serving in that position and someone that is truly just a member of the general public okay i'll let there's two questions really that sounds like you're talking one as ex-officacy Officio members are appointed by the mayor. I think that answered my question. That's appropriate protocol. I'm fine with that. And on the other, I mean, I'll accept that as a point of view, but there are many council members that are appointed to boards, and that has been a custom and a practice for some time, long before me. And I don't disagree with that, but again, it's just been the conversation that we've been having about expanding and getting more of the general public involved. Again, I was a little disappointed to see that it went to someone who has full access to all the information from that body and not expanding it to someone that we could try to encourage to be more involved in our city. All right. Welcome to the point of view, of course. All right, Councilmember Lamb. Yes, I was going to speak on two different issues. One, I was going to go ahead and let the clerk know that I was going to recuse myself on number three when the vote is taken. But also, I would like to make a motion to reconsider Councilmember Stenet's motion. and the reason for because we couldn't speak on the motion I understand where he's coming from and I actually had the very thought about the item that's in committee however the way I'm looking at this is these two positions that are being filled with on this mayor's report had nothing to do with the changes that that are being brought forward by Councilmember Bledsoe. The ones that she is changing, that we have changed collectively in committee that is going to be reported out on December 4th, will actually be the new positions that we have added. So, therefore, I feel like that it is not that the position that Councilmember Stenet is taking is not relevant to these two appointments. And so I am making a motion to reconsider that motion, and I am on the prevailing side or on the opposite side, so I can make that motion. Second. All right. I'm not clear on the motion. I'm reconsidering Councilmember Stenet's motion to table the Rural Land Management Board appointments, which is item number seven on the mayor's report. I'm reconsidering that to be considered to move forward as opposed to being tabled. It was not tabled. It failed to be tabled. was seven to six it wasn't okay well never mind that was a very nice conversation and i appreciated you all and thank you councilmember stennett for making that motion to second so thank you so much yes yes so i am withdrawing my motion so are you sure okay all right okay this is pleasant all right here we go councilmember councilmember Plowman we're good thank you mayor I was just gonna tell councilmember lamb that she was in good company because I thought the same thing and I was gonna say the same thing is that we were filling two vacant positions and and that's the normal business so I concur and I just wanted to share that with you thank you mayor yeah and you all make good points because it was a challenging motion all right councilmember Bledsoe thank you mayor I do want to chime in it does impact the December 4th conversation the criteria of even the current nominees was being challenged or at least questioned as a part of the rural and management boards presentation to us so it is not to say it would change the nominations at all, but the actual criteria will be discussed of even those current nominations at the December 4th meeting. And I just wanted to make that clear. Thank you. All right. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. In our Lexington Center board meeting this morning, we had a visit from a representative from the Mary Todd Lincoln home. Sorry. I'm not moving on. Oh, okay. Hold on. I'm with Council Member Lamb. Yeah. Hold on just a second. We've got to vote on the motion, communications motion, yeah. And we'll be right there, Council Member Farmer. We'll be right there. Hold on just a second. All in favor of the motion, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, no. No? All right. Okay. All right. All right. Now we can move on to next on our agenda, which is fire and police disciplinary, and then we'll get to announcements. Just a second. We've got a fire and police disciplinary. No. Announcements. I thought we did. Council Member Farmer, we are here. Thank you. We are there and we are here. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Yes. I was going to make a request, Mayor, through the auspices of your office. We are working to create an agreement between ourselves and the Main Street Baptist Church for parking opportunities down around the edge of the new park. and it was made abundantly clear at this morning's Lexington Center board meeting that Mary Todd Lincoln Home has a need and needs to be involved in that conversation or in those negotiations because they're being impacted similarly as Main Street Baptist Church. I just would like to see them enter into the conversation in some capacity on your own's end if that would be possible. Please, sir. Yes, sir. All right. Brandy is not here. Brandy is here. So Brandy, you heard the invitation, and she's acknowledging the invitation for conversation. Thank you, sir. All right. Thank you, Council Member Farmer. Council Member Hanson. Thank you, Mayor. I very simply just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. From the sound of things in the last few minutes, we probably need a week off. But I hope everyone can take the time and really think about what we're thankful for. So thank you, Mayor. All right. Thank you, Council Member Henson. Council Member Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to invite everyone to the Southland Tree Lighting Ceremony on Southland Drive. It's at Station 12. It'll be between 530 and 630. They have a great, the Lafayette singers and the orchestra come and perform. It's lovely. The businesses on Southland Drive have provided snacks and refreshments, and, of course, Santa and Elsa will be present to do face painting and take gift requests. It's a great event, and I hope that you all will stop by. That's on November 30th at 530 at Station 12. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Bledsoe. It was a great event. Council Member Plowman. I just wanted to make another comment. Thank you, Mayor. Another comment in regards to rural land management and also planning commission. I'm disappointed from the rural area that Frank Penn is not on either because he has institutional knowledge that I think that the rural land management board and planning should have. I think he should be wanting one or the other. So I just wanted to share that. I think we're losing someone that's got a whole lot of knowledge about our rural area. Just a few brief, I wasn't here Tuesday, so I couldn't share anything that's going out in the 12th. And I wanted to let you know that we've got the free paper sharing this Saturday, starting at 9 o'clock at Arnold Frankfort Pike. Also, Southern Lights is up and going at the Horse Park. So see if you can get out there. It's a great event. They've got a festival on Sunday. The 20th annual Heartland Holiday Bazaar is taking place this weekend at the Heartland Clubhouse and Spindletop which is located in the 12th which is a private club is opening for the public and they're going to have a holiday bazaar. So bazaar did I say that right? So that's everything that's going in the 12th this weekend so I wanted to let you know. Thank you Mayor. All right. Thank you Councilman Plowman. All right, looks like that's all who signed on for announcements. The floor is available for public comments. Anybody signed on? Yes, Scott, too. All right. Sherry Walsh. Sherry Walsh. Oh, Sherry. Yes, I got it right. Hi, I'm Sherry Walsh, and I live at 1510 Van Buren Drive. I'm going to yield my time to Father Andrew Hagee. Father Hagee. Good evening. My name is Andrew Hege. I live at 2005 Bamboo Drive, and I serve as one of the priests at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church on East Main Street. I'm a co-chair of the BUILD organization, and I'm here this evening to strongly support Resolution 1187-18 that was given both the first and second reading this evening. This is for a contract with the National Network for Safe Communities to provide a a problem analysis regarding group-related violent crime. BUILD is the largest faith-based citizens organization in Lexington, representing 26 diverse faith communities across our city. In our congregations, we've seen the impact of violence across all of Lexington. Our congregations have hosted funerals for many people shot and killed in our streets, and our people are afraid in their own homes and neighborhoods. This contract is a critical first step in saving lives, and it is a wise investment in the future of our city. The National Network for Safe Communities is internationally recognized as the gold standard in analyzing violence and developing the most effective strategies to address that violence. Their strategies, when properly implemented, have had a dramatic and sustained reduction in violent crime in over 70 cities across the United States, including Cincinnati, Ohio, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and New Haven, Connecticut. I've personally seen the impact of this analysis and subsequent implementation of strategies in High Point, North Carolina, where I grew up, a city in which the National Network for Safe Communities has worked. I know that these strategies work. The expertise that the National Network has in group-related violent crime is unmatched and will offer a different perspective than previous studies that have been conducted in Lexington. Tonight I'm here to share the support of 2,000 people who gathered at Bill's annual Nehemiah Action Assembly on May 9th and the 475 people who gathered at a leadership meeting just last week. Many of those BUILD leaders are here this evening to continue to show support for the action that you all have taken here tonight. We're grateful for the leadership, Mayor Gray and Commissioner Armstrong, that you have shown in moving this work forward, and Vice Mayor Kaye, in your calling for a second reading tonight to move into this contract with the national network. and all of you for bringing the leading national experts to Lexington to conduct this much-needed problem analysis. Thank you all. Thank you, Father. Thank you so much. All right, that's all who have signed on tonight for public comment. That allows me to ask for a motion to adjourn. Motion by Council Member Stennett, second by Council Member Bledsoe. so um
