high-energy that are willing to be a part of a team and work together for a common goal. The decision makers being able to make decisions on your own because you are the supervisor at that point when you're in the housing unit yes you have to report to other people at the same time but the decisions primarily come from the officer themselves basically the boots on the ground. I think a good correctional officer comes down to the basis of being professional and honorable and just having a good positive outlook on your career. I like working here because every day is a different day some days are busier than others but even in on those busy days we still work together as a team. I like working here from the teamwork factor. I like it because it's different every day and you never know what to expect it's really exciting. You have a lot of opportunities to expand what you do as an officer you also have a lot of opportunities to promote and become a sergeant lieutenant or even a captain. My name is Corporal Tingle I've been here since August of 2015 and I'm the canine officer for the Division of Community Corrections. I am with the Inmate Services Department, intelligence officer for gangs and I am a corrections officer. Come join our team. She sends me if I spring a beat. She bends me, I don't have to speak. She defends me, a drunkard's dream, if I ever did say one. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold. And this living off the road is getting pretty old. So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in. But you know deep down I'm kind of tempted to go and see my bestie again. She sends me if I spring a beat. She bends me, I don't have to speak. She defends me, a drunkard's dream, if I ever did say one. If I would only be in your way. So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you each step of the way. And I will always love you. I will always love you. Bittersweet memories, that's all I am taking with me. Goodbye, please don't cry. We both know that I'm not what you need. And I will always love you. I will always love you. I hope life treats you kind. And I hope that you have all that you ever dreamed of. And I wish you joy and happiness. But above all of this, I wish you love. And I will always love you. I will always love you. I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway. I ain't going nowhere, feeling the way I do. Because my baby's long gone and nothing's going my way. I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues. It's gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat. Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long day. Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio. Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away. Well, I wish I was a tough guy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We have a quorum now. And so I'd like to go ahead and call to order the September 12, 2019, Council meeting. And the first thing is for the clerk, please, to call the roll. Ms. Plowman. Ms. Reynolds. Mr. Worley.

I am pleased to welcome tonight Pastor Jeff Gates of the Volunteers of America, who's going to offer our invocation. I want to thank you for inviting me here to deliver the invocation for this evening. Let us bow our heads in prayer. Gracious God, Heavenly Father, you have revealed in your word that rule and authority in government are in keeping with your divine order. Keep us mindful of that sacred trust which you have committed to our care as the leaders of the city of Lexington and Fayette County. We come before you, placing in your hands the needs of our city, asking that you give us wisdom and ability, sound judgment and moral purpose as we complete the work placed before us tonight. Lord, the tasks may be difficult, the duties may be many, and the responsibility heavy, so we pray that you would support our leaders with your might and that through you, crime and lawlessness would be controlled, righteousness and integrity will prevail. So, too, we remember those who perished 18 years ago during the attacks on September 11th. We pray that you would sustain our great city and this nation through all the challenges before us. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you, Pastor Gates. Now, Council, could I please have a motion to approve the minutes of August 15th and August 29th? Vice Mayor Kaye moved and Council Member Farmer seconded. Are there any questions? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? That motion passed. Now I'd like to invite Courtney Klosky to join me at the podium. Courtney is the Alzheimer's Congressional Ambassador for Congressman Andy Barr, and tonight we are here to talk about a disease that robs vibrant, wonderful people of so much right here in Lexington and all over the world, Alzheimer's. As a city, it is important for us to raise awareness of this terrible disease. On Saturday, September 21st, the Walk for Alzheimer's will take place at Kroger Field. I encourage everyone to join and support the efforts to end Alzheimer's. And now I'd like to read the proclamation, and then we'll have a few words from Courtney. Whereas Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that tragically robs individuals of their memories and leads to progressive mental and physical impairments. And whereas more than 5.8 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer's, including 73,000 Kentuckians. And whereas researchers in Kentucky and around the world continue their work to one day bring about a world without Alzheimer's disease. And whereas by participating in the 2019 Walk to End Alzheimer's, Lexingtonians and residents of Central Kentucky are raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Now therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare September 21st, 2019 Alzheimer's Awareness Day in Lexington. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you so much. Okay. Hi, everyone. Like she said, I'm Courtney Klosky, and I am the Alzheimer's Congressional Ambassador for Andy Barr. I'm so honored to be here tonight and to accept this proclamation from Mayor Gorton. I wanted to share a little bit about Alzheimer's disease in general and some about my roles as the ambassador. So as she mentioned, Alzheimer's disease, it's the sixth leading cause of death in America, and it's also the most expensive disease. So we currently have 5.8 million Americans with Alzheimer's disease, and that's only expected to more than double by 2050. And currently this year, it's costing $290 billion to fund all of Alzheimer's. And that does not include the millions of unpaid volunteers that give their time to help Alzheimer's patients. And in Kentucky, we have, again, 73,000 people with Alzheimer's disease and over 270,000 caregivers. And by 2025, we expect that to be around 90,000 Kentuckians with Alzheimer's disease. So what the Alzheimer's Association, our main goal is a world without Alzheimer's. That is what we strive for. That is our goal. We want a world without Alzheimer's. And the Lexington chapter and the Kentucky chapter in general, we have many different facets as to how we are going to get to this goal with a life with a world without Alzheimer's. So first off, it's the walk. That's our big fundraiser of the year. The greater Kentucky chapter, we have ten walks throughout all of Kentucky. And of course, we have the Lexington walk here this coming or next weekend. And so in addition to the walk that we always have, we also have programs for outreach leading to support groups and online services and kind of giving care to those with Alzheimer's disease as well as the caregivers. And we also have a lot of advocacy efforts, which is kind of more of my expertise. So for advocacy, our director of public policy, she works to engage both our federal and state representatives to push policies and legislation that's going to help Kentuckians as well as the entire, all of America and to improving the lives of those with Alzheimer's disease and leading to this world without Alzheimer's. And she uses volunteers like myself to help that goal. And so as an ambassador, I work with Andy Barr's office all year round, having monthly meetings with them and educating their staff on Alzheimer's disease. And kind of getting them, encouraging them to co-sponsor legislation that will help Alzheimer's disease. As well, I also do research in Sanders Brown on Alzheimer's disease, so I directly see the impacts of the research funding directly toward our lab to help us find this world without Alzheimer's disease. This summer I traveled to the Alzheimer's Association International Conference with a lot of other researchers from Kentucky and got to present my research to a large audience as well as same with all the other Kentuckians that came with me. And it was super exciting to get to see all the research going on and leading toward our goal. So with that, I'd like to thank you once again for having me this evening and for this proclamation. And if you have any questions about what the association does, feel free to reach out to our public policy director, Maria Longo. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. And you bring this. Okay. Thank you. We'll now get a photo with the council. Thank you. Okay, if I could please ask the clerk to give second reading to ordinances.

Thank you, vice mayor. I just want to, I noticed you had a meeting set for the 24th for the discussion of the new government center, which is a very important issue to all the council members. And it's been brought to my attention that a lot of council members, there will be a lot of them missing that day. And one of them that's going to be missing is somebody that has a lot of real estate experience. And I think we need to use that personal knowledge. We also have another council member who represents half of downtown is not going to be there. And I assume he would want to be there for that. And we have other council members who have been with this for the last four years. Well, some of us have been here for the last 20 years trying to find a new government center. And to me, I would propose to make a motion that we move that date to another date so all of us to be there, because this is an important issue that we've been listening to for many of my constituents, your constituents. So we have everybody here. We've got a lot of good talented people that are not going to be there that day. So I'd like to make a motion that we move that to another date so we can have everybody here so moved. Thank you. Do you have a date to propose? I'd be glad to work with you. We can come back up to a work session Tuesday and make a date for everybody so I can talk to everybody. We all can talk to everybody and see if everybody can do it. Okay. Just so everybody knows, I looked at the calendar. If we don't do it on that day, we're pretty much then not able to do it for about a month. I think because we have zone changes. But I'm open. I would like to have everybody here. I chose that date because it was the first open date. But I believe if we can get a proposal for a specific date now, that would be helpful. I don't want to have another date and then have people not be able to be here. Was Thursday out of the question? That's the same week. We have a council meeting at 6. Will the same people still be gone? Where's everybody going? I didn't get invited. Sorry. Sorry. I mean, there is one date that I just saw, October the 10th. If that's a good date for all my colleagues on October the 10th. At 4 o'clock on October the 10th. October 10th. October 10th. Nobody has a problem with that? That's fine. Okay. I'll send something out changing the date. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Vice Mayor. On behalf of Jennifer Massotti and all of the hardworking people for the community build project with Shillito Park, I would like to invite everybody to sign up for a shift, September 18th through the 22nd. There's all different types of shifts at Shillito Park to build it together as a community. I'm going to be manning a table because I cannot use a tool for the life of me. So I think the only council members signed up are the Jennifer's. Are you signed up? That's what they told me this morning. So I'm and Amanda. So Council Member Bledsoe. So there's three of us. So if there can be more of us, that would be great. So if I'd like to invite my colleagues and everyone else to go to LexingtonKY.gov and then go Shillito slash Shillito and you can sign up through United Way. So thank you. Thank you. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Vice Mayor. First, I wanted to thank so many members of the administration and the administrative staff for coming to our district-wide meeting last night, which was really a great meeting and a great exchange of information. And when you're taking input directly from your constituents and the public and being able to provide answers right then, right there, it's always very satisfying. So I really wanted to thank everybody who came out, but certainly all the folks in that room. You know, if you start looking on dollar per hour, there was a lot of talent in that room and it was a big meeting. It was great and I appreciate all of you all being there. So on September 12th, 1992, I was lucky enough to marry my wife, Kim. So we're celebrating our 27th anniversary as soon as this meeting is over. And you say to yourself, what has happened or what's gone on? Where did all those years go? What do you get out of all this? Well, what do you get out of all this is you get to go to the Lexington Hearing and Speech Center for Grandparents Day. So this is my grandson, Rhett, Rhett William, just so you know. And we went over there for the book exchange and to have a big time. So happy Grandparents Day to everybody because I got to enjoy it today myself. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Vice Mayor. And happy anniversary, Council Member Farmer, you and your wife. Well, I just wanted to thank God's Pantry for inviting us out this week. Me and Council Member Jennifer Reynolds was over there for, I think it was elected officials day, and we volunteered and packed some food. But I was more impressed to hear about how long they've been serving our community and how many millions of pounds of food that they distribute and how they have grown that network over the years. Real impressive and would encourage anyone else that's interested to go tour that facility and get some of that input. Then I'd also like to wish good luck to the Lexington Legends tonight. They're playing. They're up, I think, 2-0 on the competition in the championship series. And if they win tonight, they'll be champions. If something bad happens and they don't win tonight, then they get an opportunity to play tomorrow night to be the champions. So good luck to them and any enabled body. I would encourage to go out and root them on. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. I see no one else signed up to speak. That would bring us to public comments. And first on the sign-up sheet is Mr. McCarthy. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. I live at 515 Harry Street. I want to say that I think that fairly soon you really need to expand the urban services. It's gotten too tight. Lots to build on are getting too scarce and expensive. When you see profit-making developers who cater to those who can pay the full market rate, grabbing inner city lots and building infill on them, where are the nonprofits that try to take care of the poor supposed to go? Some other county, maybe? Not too practical when the jobs that don't pay that much to begin with happen to be here. Commuting would cost more too. And I've seen the articles in the paper about neighborhoods being gentrified, and I know I really don't want my neighborhood gentrified. I definitely want it revitalized, however. And while I may have some bias in that one nonprofit organization gets about $65 of my money each payday and most of my vacation and Saturdays, and over the years they've gotten a few of my holidays, but I think all of them are going to be in a bind if the supply of land open for development doesn't loosen up a bit. And I really would much rather see this city stay predominantly single-family, owner-occupied houses instead of going to more and more multi-unit apartments that have to be rented from someone else. Families have a better chance of accumulating wealth if they buy a house than if they rent one. Thank you. Next would be Ms. Miller-Johnson. Good evening, Council. My name is Lily Miller-Johnson. I'm a supervisor with the Soil and Water Conservation District. And I have already emailed each and every one of you a letter updating you on the work that we have done just for Fayette County. Now, these new programs are implemented by us, not by the state or federal. It's just the Fayette County office that's offering these programs. And especially if you know small farmers or people with land that would like funding, please have them get in touch with our office. And, again, I gave you the information and contact information in the email. I also wanted to announce that our invite-on team from Dunbar High School came in eighth in the national competition, which was held in North Carolina, Raleigh, North Carolina. And so we would like for you to please recognize our teams for competing every year and coming in. I think last year they came in 13th and this year eighth. And then we had two other countries, Canada and China, that were involved this year. You have a blessed day. Thank you. Next, Mr. Eustace. Good evening. My name's Chris Eustace. I live in 11th District, 709 Lynn Road. I want to add my support for the reform of the ordinances pertaining to short-term rental units. As I teach a class at the Bluegrass Community College during your time of the previous scheduled meeting, I was not able to attend your discussion on short-term rentals. Here are a few points I would like to make in favor of short-term rental units and for changes that should be made to the current code, especially for homeowner-occupied short-term rental units. The change, the limitation restricting the stay for guests from one week minimum or 52 times a year annually to no restriction. The one week restriction is arbitrary and not helpful as most guests are not seeking an entire week for a place to stay. This is the main restriction that needs to be changed. There's too much regulation. Airbnb pays taxes collected from the guests at a time of booking the reservation and that is paid directly to the city and state, so bonus. These are revenue collection throughout the year. That's fine. The short-term rental units are charged 8.5% in Lexington. Apartments, zero. The same rate as the hotels and motels, but they are not provided the same services or have the same availability or flexibility as the hotels and motels. When the commercial hotels are totally booked for a special event and no rooms are available, what are people to do? Are they supposed to stay outside of Lexington for an event that is happening in Lexington? The guests don't want to book a hotel room for a whole week just to attend a weekend event. But that is what the option is currently under the regulation guidelines for short-term rentals will mean. The guests want availability, location, and a fair price. The reform of this is a bonus to Lexington for revenue and the local economy as well. If guests can't find the accommodations they want in Lexington, that revenue is lost to another city or state. Guests spend tourist dollars, which is a great boost to the local economy. There is also the question of fair housing. People of lower income who need a temporary place to stay for a few days may be locked out because they would not want to pay for a whole week's stay under the current guidelines. It is also not fair to restrict and punish by limiting the stay to one week minimum for the good homeowner occupied short-term rental units because of bad behavior at some other property. Code enforcement for bad behavior is already on the books. Seniors with short-term rental units, and there's quite a few of them that need extra income, use that income for living expenses, and again, that's a boost to the local economy. Thank you very much. Thank you. I have nobody else signed up for public comment. I believe that would be, a motion to adjourn would be in order. Without objection, we stand adjourned. Thank you.
