During the session, the council conducted 2 votes on various matters before them. The meeting also included 2 public comments, providing community members an opportunity to address the council directly. The council successfully approved the minutes from their June 6, 2019 meeting, maintaining their official record-keeping responsibilities.

Ms. Evans seconded the motion. The ordinance passed with 14 ayes and 1 nay. Voting in favor: Evans, Farmer, Gibbs, Kay, Lamb, McCurn, Moloney, Mossotti, Reynolds, Worley, Bledsoe, F. Brown, J.

Brown, and Ellinger. Voting against: Moloney. Both ordinances received the necessary votes to pass, with different council members casting the sole dissenting vote on each measure. ## Budget and Financial Actions The meeting addressed two significant financial matters involving contracts and grant applications totaling over $800,000. **Homelessness Prevention Contract** The council considered Resolution 0497-19, which establishes an agreement with the Kentucky Housing Corporation valued at $24,000. This contract supports the Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention's participation in the Kentucky Homeless Management Information System. The agreement enables the local office to maintain its role in the statewide data management system for tracking and coordinating homelessness services. **Emergency Preparedness Grant Application** Resolution 0528-19 authorizes a grant application to the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs for $779,200 under the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program. This substantial funding request would support emergency preparedness initiatives related to chemical stockpile management and response capabilities. The two financial actions represent different funding mechanisms - one involving a direct service contract with a state housing agency, and the other seeking federal grant funds administered through the state's military affairs department for emergency preparedness purposes. Combined, these items account for $803,200 in financial commitments and potential funding for county operations. ## Public Comment Two residents addressed the board during the public comment period of the June 20, 2019 meeting. **Bernard McCarthy** spoke about road infrastructure needs, specifically requesting resurfacing of Fourth Street from Broadway to the L & N railroad track. McCarthy cited the bumpy condition of the roadway as the reason for his request. [timestamp: 02:00:00] **Shauna Connors** raised concerns about parking availability in the downtown area. She expressed that insufficient public parking is negatively affecting downtown businesses and suggested the need for additional public parking solutions to address the issue. [timestamp: 02:03:00] Both comments focused on infrastructure and municipal services that directly impact residents and local businesses in the community. ## Appointments The meeting included several appointments and reappointments to city boards and commissions. **Board of Adjustment:** • Philip Brandon Gross was reappointed to the Board of Adjustment • Chad Needham was reappointed to the Board of Adjustment **Economic Development Investment Board:** • Brian Wells was reappointed to the Economic Development Investment Board • Liz Brown was appointed to the Economic Development Investment Board • Jake Gibbs was appointed to the Economic Development Investment Board The appointments included both new members and continuing members across these two municipal boards. The Board of Adjustment retained two existing members through reappointments, while the Economic Development Investment Board saw one reappointment and two new appointments. ## Contested Items The meeting featured one contested item that generated opposition among council members. **Electric Bicycles and Scooters Ordinance** An ordinance addressing the use of electric bicycles and scooters on bicycle paths came before the council and resulted in a split vote. The measure, which would allow electric bicycles and scooters to operate on designated bicycle paths, passed with a 14-1 vote, indicating that one council member opposed the proposal while the majority supported it. The nature of the specific disagreement and the identity of the dissenting council member were not detailed in the available meeting materials. However, the near-unanimous passage suggests that while there was some opposition to allowing these electric vehicles on bicycle paths, the majority of the council viewed the ordinance favorably. The final outcome was the approval of the ordinance, establishing new regulations that permit electric bicycles and scooters to use bicycle path infrastructure within the jurisdiction. ## Minutes of the June 6, 2019 Council Meeting [timestamp: 00:10] The council considered agenda item 0684-19, which involved the approval of minutes from the June 6, 2019 council meeting. This routine administrative matter required council review and formal approval of the official record from the previous meeting. Key speakers during this agenda item included Mr. Ellinger and Ms. Plomin, who participated in the discussion regarding the accuracy and completeness of the meeting minutes. The minutes were presented for council consideration as part of the standard procedural process to ensure the official record of municipal proceedings is properly documented and approved. This administrative step allows council members to review the written record of discussions, motions, and votes from the previous meeting to verify accuracy before formal adoption. The agenda item was approved by the council, completing the procedural requirement for official adoption of the June 6, 2019 meeting minutes into the municipal record. ## Special Recognition of Lexington Fire Department [timestamp: 00:20] The Lexington City Council recognized members of the Lexington Fire Department for their participation in a rescue operation in Powell County. Agenda item 0697-19 served as a special presentation to honor the firefighters' service beyond city limits. Mayor Gorton and Fire Chief Chilton were the key speakers during this recognition ceremony. The presentation highlighted the department's involvement in a rescue operation that took place in Powell County, demonstrating the firefighters' commitment to public safety that extends beyond Lexington's municipal boundaries. This was an informational item that provided the council and public with details about the firefighters' heroic actions during the Powell County rescue operation. The recognition served to formally acknowledge the professionalism and dedication of the Lexington Fire Department personnel who participated in the emergency response. No formal action was required for this agenda item, as it was presented solely for recognition and informational purposes. The presentation allowed city leadership to publicly commend the fire department's service and highlight their ongoing commitment to emergency response both within and outside the city limits. --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 0642-19** — passed (14-1): An Ordinance amending Section 18-148 of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Code of Ordinances to allow electric bicycles and electric motor-assisted scooters on bicycle paths. - **Ordinance 0643-19** — passed (14-1): An Ordinance appropriating the Revenues, Expenditures/Expenses and Interfund Transfers for various funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. --- ## Full transcript Music June 20th, and so we'll go ahead and I'd like to ask the clerk to call the roll.

All right, that's fine. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Pleased to have a lot of people here to represent our city, and I hope that we'll do the business as best we can tonight and appreciate you all's attendance. Now we go to the Lord in prayer. Our dear, gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day, and we thank you for the time that we have. We thank you for this council that we can make the decisions that need to be made for the better of the community and the people in this community. This is the Fayette County, Lexington, is obviously a great place to live. We have a lot of things to be proud of. We are blessed indeed. And I just want to acknowledge that we need to be thankful every day for what we have, for our public safety and for our various divisions and government agencies, nonprofit organizations, everybody that makes this a good city so that we can work together. It makes our job easier as council members if we can have the unity and the people coming together and support.

For these things we ask in Jesus' name, amen. Thank you very much, Council Member Brown. And now, Council, if I could have a motion to approve the minutes of June the 6th. No move. Second. Council Member Ellinger moved and Council Member Plowman seconded. Are there any questions or additions, corrections? Seeing none, all those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? All right, that motion passes, and now we have several presentations from the podium. First of all, I would like to ask the Division of Fire personnel involved in the Powell County Rescue to join me here at the podium, please. Can some of you come up beside me? I feel lonely up here. Just crowd the winner's circle. Earlier this week, our Division of Fire was involved in a strenuous rescue operation. A mudslide occurred in Powell County, causing a home to collapse. Fire crews from Lexington joined others to help the homeowner who was trapped in the home. After four long hours of hard work, they were able to rescue her, a 90-year-old woman, who has since been released from the hospital and is recovering. We are so proud of our local heroes who jumped forward to assist our neighbors in Powell County in this regional effort. With thanks for their outstanding work, I will read the following proclamation, and then I'll ask Chief Chilton to make some remarks. And this is called Helping Our Neighbors Day. Whereas a crew of Lexington firefighters recently responded to a call from Powell County concerning a mudslide that had knocked a house off its foundation and caused the second floor to collapse into the first floor. And whereas an elderly woman was trapped in the house under layers that included a floor and a brick wall. and whereas firefighters from Lexington and Winchester helped local crews rescue the woman who was trapped for four hours and whereas the Lexington firefighters who were involved included, and I'll give each of you a copy when I'm done reading, Captain Ryan Hogston, firefighter John Gentry, firefighter Curtis Hurd, Firefighter Justin Villanueva, Lieutenant Doug Hargraves, Firefighter Greg Schroyer, Firefighter Steven Mike Kinney, and Battalion Chief Rob Larkin. Now therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare June 20, 2019, helping our neighbors day in lexington and i thank you all so much so much Chief? I'll just keep it very short because I know you have a large agenda tonight, but I just wanted to mention that this is an outstanding group of individuals that you should be extremely proud of. They are part of our special operations units that we have here in Lexington. group is on third shift but they happen to be the same group of individuals of special operations on third shift that was awarded the ward at the police banquet the other night for you all that were there for the horse rescue earlier this year so anytime we have any type of special operations whether it's large animal rescue or like this was a mudslide or dive group or swift water anything that has to do with special operations or special rescue this is a group that responds to that they spend hours and hours and hours of their own time on duty off duty getting this specialized training and a lot of the equipment that we ask you for during budget time is is because of this unit because they have a lot of specialized equipment so not only are they using these resources here locally they are using these resources to help our county partners who don't have the resources to do these kinds of rescues and as you can it makes a huge difference. So thank you all very much for recognizing them. They're an outstanding group of individuals and we're extremely proud of them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As you know, June is Pride Month across the country. Cities and communities are coming together and celebrating diversity and equality. Here in Lexington, we've already had several Pride events, and they will continue through the end of the month. And on July the 1st, I'll be hosting a reception commemorating the 20th anniversary of our Fairness Ordinance. Everyone is invited to attend. Our city has many great organizations supporting the LGBTQ community. One of those organizations has been very important to our city for almost 40 years, the Imperial Court of Kentucky. This organization includes a community of drag performers who generously work hard to raise money for organizations supporting some of our most vulnerable citizens. They put on numerous shows throughout the year, raising a large amount of money for organizations such as Movable Feast, AVOL, CASA, Arbor Youth Services, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and more. I'd like to ask Clayton Burchell and Glenn Means to join me, please. Clayton and Glenn recently stepped down from their roles as emperor and emperors of the court. However, they are here tonight to accept the proclamation. And after reading the proclamation, there she is, I'll ask Councilmember Susan Lamb to say a few words. Imperial Court of Kentucky Day, whereas founded in 1982, the Imperial Court of Kentucky is a Lexington-based charitable organization focusing on the needs of Kentucky's LGBTQ community. and whereas the Imperial Court of Kentucky is a charter member of the international court system, which includes over 70 other courts across North America, and whereas the court provides a social outlet for and recognition of Lexington's LGBTQ community and its supporters through special events and programming, And whereas over the last year, the court has held or participated in over 100 events and raised over $100,000 to assist more than 30 groups and organizations in Kentucky. and whereas since its inception 37 years ago, the Imperial Court of Kentucky has raised over $1.5 million to help provide food, clothing, housing, assistance, and care for Kentuckians in need. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare June 20, 2019, Imperial Court of Kentucky Day in Lexington. Thank you. Thank you. And I want to thank the Imperial Court of Kentucky for the incredible work they do, and especially Glenn Means and Clayton Burchill, who just recently completed a very busy year of fundraising and awareness raising for our community. I understand that some of the court's board members are with us tonight, and I want to also recognize them, and I would like to ask them to stand so that we can also thank them for the work they do as well. Lexington is so fortunate to have an organization like the Imperial Court showing so much love and doing so much good for the people in our community, especially those who are in need. You've already heard about some of that work, but I want you to see how they do it, And as you see on the overheads, tonight you see Glenn and Clayton standing here next to me. But if you take a look at the screens, I'd like you to meet them as Empress Patti Pouzet and Emperor Clayton Burchell. So I think that it's pretty, pretty amazing what they do. and they just recently had the coronation a couple of weekends ago, and they just stepped down recently from the reign of the 37 to make room for the reign of the 38s, recently crowned Empress Uma Jules and Emperor Daniel Perkins, who you see there. I wanted us to have the chance to see who these beautiful people are, both in their regalia and as you see them here today. Their hearts are huge and they are truly a blessing and a gift to our community and I am so appreciative of allowing them to be recognized tonight. So thank you. Thank you so much. We can get a picture. We want to get a photo. Yes, please. Thank you. Come on. Come on. um Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Now if I could ask Jeremy Smith and Lindy Franklin Smith to join me at the podium, please. Since 2015, Lexington has been home to a local theater company that produces professional Broadway caliber shows in our community. The Lexington Theatre Company, also known as The Lex, works as a non-profit organization bringing current Broadway talent to perform, while also training future Broadway-bound talent. Today I'm joined by Jeremy Smith and Lindy Franklin Smith, the producing and artistic directors of The Lex. Before they speak about The Lex and all it does, I have a proclamation. Whereas, the Lexington Theatre Company was founded in 2015 by Broadway veterans Jeremy Smith and Lindy Franklin Smith, with the goal of combining today's Broadway stars with tomorrow's Broadway hopefuls, and whereas, the Lex is a non-profit organization that presents first-rate, locally produced, fully professional theater for Central Kentucky, while enhancing the arts and cultural community of Lexington and beyond, and whereas the Lex is a training ground and performance platform for bright young talent that is the future of American theater, and whereas the Lex's 2019 season will feature two of theater's most popular musicals, the legendary West Side Story and the energetic Newsies, performed at Lexington's iconic Lexington Opera House. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare June 20, 2019, the Lexington Theatre Company Day in Lexington. Congratulations. Thanks for all you do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Do you want to? Sure. Thank you Mayor Gorton. It's so wonderful to be with all of you tonight. The story of the Lexington Theatre Company really begins with a little girl with a very big dream. And that little girl was me, little Lindy Franklin from Lexington, Kentucky. And that big dream was performing on Broadway. So after my high school years, I left Lexington, pursued my collegiate studies at Oklahoma City University where I met this guy. my husband, Jeremy Smith. And while we were studying in college, we had the great good fortune to work at some amazing professional regional theaters in the Midwest, including Oklahoma Lyric Theater and Music Theater Wichita. And in those workplaces, we had the opportunity to put into practice what we were learning in our classrooms and to gain the confidence, the connections, and the credits that would launch our careers in New York. And we can both say without a doubt that were it not for the mentorship and the training that we received at Music Theater Wichita and other Midwestern theaters, we would not have achieved all of those dreams. In 2006, my Broadway dream came true when I debuted in the original revival company of A Chorus Line. Jeremy was alongside the whole time, performing at first and then transitioning into the management world. We lived and worked happily in New York City for a number of years, performing in and managing Broadway shows. And when we knew the next chapter was about to begin for us, we had a sincere desire on our hearts to pay it forward. So we moved home, my home, here in Lexington. And he's a Lexingtonian now. We moved home and we created the Lexington Theatre Company in 2015 with an important two-fold mission. The first is to create high caliber, high-quality, first-rate, professional theater for Lexington, Kentucky. This is Jeremy's and my experience, our expertise, our gift, and what we wanted to do was give that back to this beautiful, thriving, artistic community. And the second part of our mission is to serve as a training ground and a performance platform for the next generation of musical theater talent. We wanted to make sure that all those little boys and little girls in central Kentucky and beyond had a place to make sure that their dreams would come true. So with our mission, we combine today's Broadway stars and tomorrow's Broadway hopefuls. We bring in seasoned pros from New York City, top collegiate talent from all across the country, and our amazing local actors. The fruits of our labors are enjoyed by our lovely Lexington community here. And I'm pleased to let you know that in four short years, the mission of the Lexington Theatre Company has grown beyond our wildest dreams. This year, over 1,000 artists auditioned to be a part of what we're doing here in Lexington, to come and be a part of the Lexington Theater Company. The New York theater community is buzzing about what is happening in Lexington, Kentucky. It's truly happening. We're so thrilled. We're poised, and we're ready to grow to really help continue to put Lexington on the map in terms of an artistic destination. And in order to do that, we need the support of our community and of amazing civic leaders like you. So if you haven't yet been to see our work, I invite you to come and see us this summer at the Opera House for West Side Story and Newsies. And we would also love for you to help us spread the word about what's happening downtown here in Lexington and putting Lexington on the artistic map. Thank you so much for recognizing our work. Thank you for all that you do for this community. We're excited to join you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Shall we do a photo? Shall we do a photo with the council? Thank you. Thank you. Last, but by no means least, Jeff Reed. This is a bittersweet moment. Jeff Reed, as I call him Joffrey, our Commissioner of General Services, will be leaving us at the end of the month. He is retiring, or so he says, right? Yes. We wanted to take this occasion to say goodbye and tell him how much we will miss him. He has been here seven years in either commissioner position or chief of staff, both of which positions have a lot of responsibility. I have a proclamation that's pretty serious. But I'll read that in just a minute. But it's impossible to talk about Jeff Reed without talking about his sense of humor. And I think everybody up here has seen it in one way or another. He keeps us laughing even when there's a lot going on and when there's serious things going on. So this proclamation is for our own tennis pro, Jeff Reed. You know, he's a pretty good tennis player, in case you don't know, and was a champion in his younger days. Thank you. I appreciate that. So he's going to be playing a lot of tennis in retirement, right? Nursing home has a court. So today is Jeff Reed Day. whereas Jeff Reed is retiring from the city of Lexington and whereas Jeff is a career public servant having worked at the state, federal, and local levels and whereas in Lexington Jeff served former Mayor Jim Gray and Mayor Linda Gorton in several leadership positions including senior advisor to the mayor, commissioner, and chief of staff And whereas former Mayor Gray said, Jeff Reed's career has always been about raising the bar, about setting and meeting high expectations, and Lexington is a better place today because of his devotion to public service. And whereas Mayor Gorton said, I am so sorry to see Jeff leave my administration. He offered wise counsel and strong ideas. He has done an exceptional job for his hometown. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare June 20, 2019, Jeffrey Day in Lexington. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have a little blue bag for you, too. So this is yours, and I'm sure you'll want to do a photo. Now, I will connect to the next fellow public forum. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Give me a couple of minutes to arrange my comments. I'm going to make a rather lengthy and insightful presentation. No, I'm kidding. I just do want to say a couple of things, though. I've so enjoyed my time here, and as the mayor mentioned, I have worked on all three levels of government over a course of 40 years, and I wasn't real familiar with the city, how the government operated, but I've grown to so respect the quality of the people here and the work that they do and the expertise that they have. Also, the positions that you all have are unique in that you're right on the direct firing line. You deal with folks every day. You don't have the luxury of elected officials on the state and federal level who can occasionally pick or choose their issues or duck out. You're constantly dealing with folks, dealing with their issues. There's no avoidance. And I so admire the job that you all do and how you handle that. A few people I want to thank very briefly. Of course, Mayor Gray. I agreed to be his chief of staff when he decided to run. I didn't know that was going to be such a lengthy proposition. Two of the last four years I served in that role. Really enjoyed being in the mayor's office. Enjoyed the people there. Mayor Gorton has kept a number of people, added some excellent people, which led, I think, to a seamless transition that worked very well. Obviously, I want to thank Mayor Gorton for letting me stay through the transition, be part of the administration. I've so enjoyed it. Enjoyed the budget process this this time through which I thought would be much more cumbersome Than it turned out to be in large part. Thanks to you all and how the council reacted to a tough Financial situation and worked so well in harmony with with the administration And I particularly want to thank Sally Hamilton. I think we all know Her skills and her ability to run the railroad on a day-to-day basis is really unparalleled and i've worked for a lot of good chiefs of staff and good cao types excellent but to have the opportunity to work at her direction as commissioner general services and then to work with her when i served as chief of staff has been a a unique and extremely rewarding experience again i want to thank you all how you've treated me i greatly appreciate your all's friendship how we work together. One of the big criticisms I heard internally of me when I first came on was well he's too deferential to the council. You gotta have a backbone to deal with the council. And Sally never bought into that and I really didn't buy into that. I think over the past few years together the relationship between the administration, between the staff, between the council has grown, has become one of mutual respect. I think you know you could trust me. You were sometimes amazed by what I didn't know, but we were always candid and worked very well together and remained friends, and I appreciated that so much. I'll still be around. If Mayor Gorton decides to run for a different office and Tyler goes with her, I'm available. for a short stint. But I particularly want to mention one other thing, the people that I've brought to government and the people that I've promoted, helped bring to government, and I've promoted, I'm extremely proud of, and I leave you with those folks. And I won't get into naming names, but I'm extremely happy with the way I leave things. I think I've left it better in the areas I've worked in than when we started. So thank you so very much. off Thank you. yes Thank you all so much. Now, I'd like the clerk to please give second reading to ordinances.

So is there anyone from law or perhaps Mr. Horn? Oh, there you are. The applicant has agreed to this conditional use, which is why this type of motion is appropriate at this time. Okay.

Is there any other question about the motion? Comment? Council Member Worley. Mayor, if I could just follow up. Mr. Horn, so you're saying that to add a conditional zoning restriction of some kind without a public hearing is acceptable if it's coming with agreement of the applicant to us?

Is there any question or discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Thank you very much, Commander Kurtzinger. Are there any announcements, Council Members? Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to follow up on my good friend Jeffrey. Jeffrey and I, we've known each other for many years. We've gone through a lot of campaigns together. We've gone through a lot. We've worked together on this with the mayor. But I do want to say one thing. When he took over the chief of staff and C.L. Hamilton, what they did those last two years, I've got to commend them for stepping up. and I know that the mayor was out doing his thing, but these guys took this city to the level, and I commend them for that. And, Jeff, I know you've got that humor. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm still looking for your humor. I'll find it. But I have to admit, you did look good in 1924 with the wooden racket, and you were a heck of a tennis player back then. And I made a little joke with him. If you all remember, there was a TV show back in the 70s called, I think it was The Soap, where the governor's mansion, and they had the governor, and his wife was having a playing with the tennis star. And I always thought that was Jeff Reed, one moment in China and on television, because the day after she was in that, he got shot the next day. But I always thought that was Jeff Reed. But he seemed to be everywhere. But I look forward. When you retire, we'll be still hanging out. But you will be missed. And, I mean, I mean what I say. What you did those last two years. And, Sally, I don't think you got enough credit for what you did. And, Mayor, I appreciate you keeping these guys on there. You couldn't ask for better people. And we really weren't going to miss them. Thank you. They're a dynamic duo. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor. Basically, what I wanted to say was we passed the regulations tonight for these electric scooters and electric bicycles. We've had a lot of discussion about it. I'm still very concerned about it, but I know that having the regulations on the books is going to help us to hopefully be able to monitor the safety. I keep reading all the articles in the newspaper from other cities, and I think that there's a lot of movement from the companies that are trying to work and make their companies, make the rentals safer. I think there's going to be a huge amount of education for our public when they do come to town, and I do look forward to working with our Division of Planning staff and everyone else that's involved with this, the companies when they come in town, to educate my constituents. And I'm hoping that my colleagues will do the same because I think that hopefully we can monitor this and we can have a safe transition of these scooters in town. And if they don't, then we can also deal with that as well. so I am I've been a very vocal person about being very concerned with them but I know that we need the regulations and I'm hoping that we will monitor those regulations and see if they need to be tweaked or changed as we go along and we'll see what goes so and now on a another note Mr. Jeff Reed I'll tell you You're a pretty special guy, and you have led several areas of government in a very amazing way, and you've been a wonderful mentor to me. And I think that when you see people take up for their employees like you have and do have a good sense of humor about it, and it's pretty amazing, and I have really enjoyed being able to work with you and learn from you in a lot of ways of how to manage situations that are some pretty crazy and some, I mean, you were the first person that came to me and talked about pickleball courts. So, you know, that has become the fame for the 4th District now. So I wish you all the best in your life, in your family, in your health going forward, and knowing that if we ever see you come back down to this podium, Katie, bar the door, what you're going to say. So we appreciate, I really seriously, sincerely appreciate all your work that you've done for this government and this community. So thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you. Really quick, I wanted to mention two announcements for my district. This Tuesday, the 25th, at Village Branch Library is the Cardinal Valley Neighborhood Association meeting, and we have a special guest because the mayor is coming to share with us. And so that will be exciting. The police will be there, and I'll be there as well to share a few words. and that's like I said at the Village Branch Library Tuesday at 6 30 p.m. And then Thursday at from 3 to 7 p.m. the Lexington Farmers Market is having a pop-up market at the Garden Side Shopping Center off of Alexandria Drive. So this summer there will be two pop-up markets a month there from the Lexington Farmers Market. This is the second and we're happy to have them. We did this last year and it's growing so we might have even more markets next year. Just wanted to mention those, and then I too, I have not known Commissioner Reed as long as a lot of my colleagues, but we have known each other for about a year, and I have just been super impressed with him and the way that he supports all of the staff. And recently we worked on a really difficult situation together, and I wouldn't have been able to get through it without him, so I'm going to miss him greatly. And I wish him luck in whatever he does in retirement. Thank you. Vice Mayor Kay. Thank you, Mayor. I'll add a word or two about Jeff first before a couple of other things. One of the things that I value highly no matter where I am, but certainly especially in government, is people who are good for their word. They're straight shooters. You can rely on them and if they have to deliver bad news, they'll tell you straight out and they don't sugarcoat it. It's been one of my pleasures to work with Jeff over these years. I think he exemplifies the best of what we call public service. And it's important that people understand that and how important having people like Jeff in government is to the effective functioning of government. He brings an incredible range of skills to the jobs that he had. And again, I'll just say he's been a pleasure to work with. So thank you for all of that. Secondly, I want to say a word or two about the budget process and start by thanking the administration from top to bottom for all of their hard work on the budget, the mayor in particular, but all of her staff. and then Councilmember Bledsoe who chaired the budget committee and all of the council members who I think really worked hard to balance fiscal responsibility with the key activities and programs that basically make our community function. Government is here to do those things that private sector, nonprofit sector cannot do either as well or at all. We always have a challenge to use our resources well. I think this particular year, that balance was struck very well in a very tight budget. So thanks to everybody who participated in that. And then finally, a little gift for the council and the mayor. We have very few items pending on our agenda for the work session on Tuesday coming. There's no council meeting next week, so I'm going to make a motion to cancel work session on Tuesday. So move. Second. There's a motion by Vice Mayor Kay in a few seconds. I heard Council Member Farmer, I believe, jump in there a split second quicker. Is there any discussion? all those in favor say aye aye anyone opposed the gift of time passed did you have anything else that's all mayor thank you all right thank you council member gibbs thank you mayor i just want to say thank you to jeff reed um there's a lot of things i like about this job and there's been some really difficult times as well but i the most fun that i've had has been work with jeff and it's also been very productive at many times as well but also when i've had those really difficult times and some of you guys have seen some of the rough patches i've had on on the council uh jeff was always very helpful and gave sound advice and i'm very appreciative of that and i'm going to miss the fun i'm going to miss the sound advice thank you so much jeff you'll be missed thank you mayor thank you councilmember evans thank you mayor i will Well, ditto everything we've said about Jeffrey. You've been a mentor, and I'm not going to let that stop just because you're leaving the building. I do appreciate all of your words of wisdom and advice and talking me down from the ledge when I take things a little too seriously. So I do appreciate that. And, again, I wish you all the best in your next venture. and again you're not going to get away that easily but again i do appreciate everything you've done for me personally in the city um the state and in the country you've worked on every level so i do appreciate um all of your your wisdom and insight um and i do have one announcement that um june the 29th which is a couple of saturdays from now we will be having a Mary Todd Park celebration. So we've got the Joyland Neighborhood Association, Parkway Manor, and Peter Bilt, who is the newest resident of the area, just coming together to just join and create, just enjoy each other. So we're inviting everyone in the neighborhood and everyone that's lived in the neighborhood before or everyone that's just interested in the Mary Todd Park area. Just come out and visit. It's a park that is really nice. It's got a nice trail, but it's one of those that is a little underutilized. So just come out and enjoy some free food and enjoy the neighborhood. It's a beautiful place, and we're really excited for everyone to just come out and see what the North End has to provide. And, again, it's one of those parks that really is a nice place, and um i invite all of my council member colleagues to to come out as well and just um enjoy enjoy the neighborhood and the park thank you councilmember plowman thank you mayor in light the vice mayor um kay just gave us some extra time on tuesday i decided to put my two cents worth and into jeff's departure and uh it i've been here what i'm going on i guess my third year but um In those early days, I really looked forward, Jeff, to you coming up to my office, and you were the comic relief. I mean, your perspective and your friendship really made a big difference then, and it continues to this day. So happy trails, and I appreciate you. It means a lot. Thank you, Mayor. Councilmember McCurran. Thank you, Mayor. I'll air the same way. I wanted to thank you for your service. You know, it's been a pleasure to get to know you in the past couple of months, and I hope that you enjoy your send-off gift that I gave to you just a little bit ago. In 30 years, I want to see that same thing when we talk next, okay? Or in 30 years when we talk. I hope we talk before then. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Worley. Thank you, Mayor. And, Jeff, you know, in your last confirmation hearing, I said that I could not imagine this place without you walking the halls, and unfortunately we're going to have to try to figure out how that will go. And I know I'll certainly miss your advice, your candor, and then just enjoying seeing you around. But I know I won't miss you too much. I'll be able to call you, get you right there. But I want to thank you for everything. You've been an unbelievable friend in my time coming on the council, being appointed by Mayor Gray. You were unbelievably helpful in me learning this process and this council. And then after winning back in my seat, you stayed a great friend and supporter and ally and advisor. And I'll always appreciate that. Thank you so much, Jeff. Is there any other council comment or announcement? Commissioner Reed, thank you so much for serving in my administration. I grew to know, Jeff, if you remember when I was vice mayor, many Fridays, you would kind of come to my office and we'd sit and rethink, re-talk, rehash everything going on. And I grew to respect you very much. And one of the great gifts that Jeff has is to put everything in perspective into the big picture. And there are not a lot of people who have that ability. and that was one of the things I grew to appreciate very much. Our commissioner's meetings will not be the same without your sense of humor, and Jeff frequently breaks the tension with whatever it is that comes out of your mouth, really. And it's been great. So I appreciate that you stayed on to serve in my administration, and I wish you the very best in your retirement, and don't be a stranger. Come on, you know, walk the halls again. Of course, you might have to have somebody badge you in, but thank you so much. I really appreciate you. Now, next up is public comment, and we have two folks, Mr. McCarthy. And if you'll each go to the podium and state your name and address for the record, and you'll have three minutes. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. First of all, please make sure we get back the lane on Upper Street that was taken away when they started building what was originally called Center Point. I know one of the items on tonight's docket called for splitting the cost of resurfacing with the developers. I think more importantly is make sure we get back as many lanes as we had before they started messing with it. And I don't know what's involved in your enhancement project for 4th Street, but please make sure it includes resurfacing from at least Broadway to the L&N railroad track. I know the part from Jefferson West to the tracks was resurfaced only a few years ago, but it has gotten incredibly bumpy. I travel over this stretch of road each day going to and from work. and it needs resurfacing for sure. The part from Jefferson to Broadway has been dug up for a bunch of utility replacements over the past couple of years, so it also needs a good resurfacing. Thank you. Thank you. Shawna Connors, and if you'll just state your name and address for the record, and you'll have three minutes. I'm Shawna Connors and I have a business at 302 West High Street here in Lexington, Kentucky. And I just wanted to bring some attention to what I'm hearing as a business owner in regarding to clients, longstanding clients, and then new clients coming in regards to parking. So some of the things that I'm hearing is that it's very inconvenient. a lot of people are getting fines that are as much as my service or more sometimes because the parking and I think really what the issue is that we just don't have enough public parking right now the meters have been covered up for a lot of the sewer line things that are going on and a lot of the beautification which is amazing but it really has affected business in downtown Lexington I would say a lot of business owners would agree and so you know while this has always been an ongoing situation parking in downtown I think a lot of cities have combated this issue by having more public parking available Lexington is very spread out when it comes to different retail establishments what I hear from people is where is everything when they come downtown and i think we have great pockets of things but we need to find a way to unify those pockets of retail restaurant shopping make it more walkable shop shoppable and parkable so just wanted to bring that to the council i promised my clients that i would do that they're having a really hard time and so i'm not sure what the city's plan is for parking i've heard some rumors but it is a big issue and i would love to see people stay in downtown we're starting to filter downtown as a city it's not as scary but when you start to get fines because you only have two hours on the meter that as much as your purchases then that is makes you just a you know one-time shopper in downtown. So that was my issue. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, thank you. We appreciate that. Is there anyone else who didn't get to sign in that wishes to speak? All right. Do I hear a motion to adjourn? Second. Thank you. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? We are adjourned. Thank you very much. . No matter what you do, I will always be around. Won't you tell me what you found, girl Who will come, won't you? Look down the old grey wall Be a part of it all Nothing to say, nothing to see Nothing to do If you want
