This ordinance was designed to amend municipal budgets to reflect current requirements for expenditures and to appropriate and re-appropriate funds as needed. The ordinance represents a routine budget adjustment measure that allows the municipality to realign its financial allocations to meet operational needs that have emerged since the original FY 2020 budget was adopted. Such amendments are typically necessary to address changing circumstances, updated cost estimates, or shifting priorities in municipal operations. The agenda item was presented as a standard budgetary housekeeping measure, with the ordinance focusing on ensuring that municipal expenditures align with current requirements and that appropriate funds are allocated where needed. The council approved Ordinance 0742-19 without recorded debate or opposition, indicating consensus on the necessity of these budget adjustments for the fiscal year. ## Amendment to Code of Ordinances for Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention Coalition [timestamp: 01:30] The council considered Ordinance 0682-19, which proposed amendments to the Code of Ordinances regarding the Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention Coalition. The ordinance made several key changes to the existing framework governing this coalition. The primary changes included: • **Name Change**: The ordinance formally changed the name to the "Lexington-Fayette Urban County Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention Coalition" • **Terminology Updates**: The legislation updated various terms and language throughout the relevant code sections to reflect current practices and standards • **Board Membership Adjustments**: The ordinance modified the composition and structure of the coalition's board membership The ordinance represents administrative updates to align the code with the coalition's current operations and organizational structure. These changes appear to be largely procedural, focusing on clarifying the coalition's official designation and ensuring the governing documents accurately reflect how the organization functions. The council approved Ordinance 0682-19 without recorded debate or opposition during this portion of the meeting. The amendments will formalize the updated name, terminology, and board structure for the domestic and sexual violence prevention coalition within Lexington-Fayette Urban County's official ordinances. This action ensures the coalition's governing framework remains current and properly codified within the municipal legal structure, supporting the organization's ongoing work in domestic and sexual violence prevention efforts throughout the community. ## Transfer of Civil Service Position [timestamp: 02:00] The council considered Ordinance 0708-19, which would transfer a classified civil service position from the Department of General Services to the Division of Facilities and Fleet Management. The ordinance amends the city's authorized staffing strength by moving this position between departments rather than creating or eliminating a role. The transfer represents an organizational restructuring to better align staffing resources with operational needs. By moving the classified position to the Division of Facilities and Fleet Management, the city aims to optimize its workforce allocation and improve service delivery in facilities and fleet operations. No significant discussion or debate was recorded regarding this administrative transfer. The ordinance was presented as a routine organizational adjustment that maintains the overall staffing levels while repositioning resources where they can be most effectively utilized. The council approved Ordinance 0708-19 without opposition, allowing the transfer of the civil service position to proceed as proposed. This approval enables the city to implement the organizational change and ensures proper staffing alignment between the Department of General Services and the Division of Facilities and Fleet Management. --- ## Decisions - **0722-19** — passed (14-0): Approval of the Minutes of the June 20, 2019 Council Meeting - **0742-19** — passed (14-0): An Ordinance amending certain of the Budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures, and appropriating and re-appropriating funds, FY 2020 Schedule No. 1. - **0682-19** — passed (14-0): An Ordinance amending sections 2-250, 2-251, 2-253 and 2-256 of the Code of Ordinances changing the name to the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention Coalition. - **0708-19** — passed (14-0): An Ordinance amending the authorized strength by transferring one (1) Classified Civil Service Position of Administrative Officer Sr., Grade 526E. --- ## Full transcript Music Thank you.

Those fireworks were pretty amazing. I've seen some stuff this year that I've never seen before, so I think they've made up for that in a big way. The zone changes that we've done the last couple of, I think we've done three zone changes in less than a week and a half, and they were long zone changes. None of them are easy. I think the decisions that we make and how we look at our city and make decisions as we grow are as important as anything that we do as a council and I think everybody's watching the job that we've done. What did you say? No. So I guess we had two appointments tonight to the planning commission that kind of works hand in hand with us as council and helps us with making the decisions as we move forward. One of the components that I've heard a lot of questions about that I haven't received or heard an update on is the trigger committee or I guess the new process, whatever term we're calling it. I was just wondering if there was an update on that and how is it coming along because I think it kind of ties into all of that. I think it ties into the zone change process, the infill and redevelopment committee, the Neighborhoods on Transition Task Force and all of that. I was just wondering how that's going because it even came up tonight in our confirmation hearing. We're calling it the Sustainable Growth Committee, for one thing, because we felt Trigger Committee wasn't exactly what we needed. And that was a good place to start. and we're getting the process going. The previous mayor appointed it, and it was quite a large number of people, and so we're working to get it on track with its mission and its goals and get it going. Okay. And it's due a year from now. Okay. And their main job is to hire the consultant, to recommend the consultant. So we're getting it moving. Okay, and I'll start making reference to it with the new name. Sustainable Growth Committee. Does that suit the council? I mean, you didn't have input into that, but I think it's a little bit more reflective of what it's about. And I think that's correct. I think trigger, I never liked the term trigger committee, but that's what everybody was calling it. But that implies that you're looking to induce action when I think what we're talking about is sustainable growth for our community. So I think that name is appropriate. And then also congratulations to Kevin Atkins with his work. I know we read the ordinance tonight about the development on the culture in campus. I think that's one of the ways that we're going to help sustain growth in our community is by providing jobs and opportunities and getting that first property moving and getting that ground turning and that development, I think is a step in the right direction. So congratulations on that. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Worley. Thank you, Mayor. Just quickly as we go into our summer recess, and I think it's an appropriate time to say that the first six months operating the city under your leadership, it's been a pleasure to work with you, and I think we're doing a fantastic job, and I think it's appropriate to say that now. But then I wanted to say to all my colleagues, again, I expressed my feelings last night, but it was after a very, very long night, thank you for hanging in with the novel idea of two zone changes in the same evening. I did promise you when we scheduled it that we could do it and that they would be reasonable in time, and I think they were. But I just wanted to, again, thank you for giving that much time and effort. Those were not just issues for the 7th District but for our city, but certainly being in the 7th District, let me extend my gratitude for giving me that time and giving my constituents that time. So thank you so much, and I hope everyone enjoys their break. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Are there any other announcements, Councilmembers? thank you for your kind words and i hope that council members hope you all enjoy your break it's always good to have it right and i know how that feels so i hope you have great great month or so off and now is there any public comment anyone signed up for public comment back there I guess not. So with that, do I hear a second? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All right. The council is adjourned until August. Thank you.
