The meeting focused on two primary agenda items, both of which received council approval. The council addressed a proclamation recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month and received a presentation from the Junior Fire Chief program. During the course of the meeting, the council conducted three formal votes on various matters, with no public comments recorded for this session. Both agenda items were successfully approved, demonstrating the council's support for community awareness initiatives and youth engagement programs within the city's public safety services. ## Attendance All council members were present for the October 24, 2019 meeting. **Present:** • Mayor Gorton • J. Brown • Ellinger • Evans • Farmer • Gibbs • Kay • Lamb • McCurn • Moloney • Mossotti • Plomin • Reynolds • Worley • Bledsoe • F. Brown **Absent:** None **Late:** None The meeting achieved full attendance with all 16 members present, including the Mayor and 15 council members. ## Votes and Decisions The Council took action on three items during the October 24, 2019 meeting. **Ordinance 1090-19** [timestamp: 6:28] - Councilmember Farmer motioned to approve an ordinance amending certain budgets for municipal expenditures, Schedule No. 14, with a second by Councilmember Ellinger. The ordinance passed unanimously on a roll call vote of 15-0. All fifteen council members voted in favor: J. Brown, Ellinger, Evans, Farmer, Gibbs, Kay, Lamb, McCurn, Moloney, Mossotti, Plomin, Reynolds, Worley, Bledsoe, and F. Brown. **Resolution 1027-19** [timestamp: 6:28] - Councilmember Kay motioned to accept the bid of REM Co., Inc. for washers and dryers for Community Corrections, seconded by Councilmember Ellinger. The resolution passed unanimously on a roll call vote of 15-0. The same fifteen council members who supported the ordinance also voted in favor of this resolution: J. Brown, Ellinger, Evans, Farmer, Gibbs, Kay, Lamb, McCurn, Moloney, Mossotti, Plomin, Reynolds, Worley, Bledsoe, and F. Brown. **Closed Session Motion** [timestamp: 6:21] - Councilmember Mossotti motioned to enter closed session to discuss a personnel matter, with a second by Councilmember Lamb. The motion passed on a voice vote with the condition that the closed session would occur after presentations were completed. All voting items on the agenda received unanimous support from the Council, with no dissenting votes or abstentions recorded on any of the measures considered. ## Budget and Financial Actions The Council addressed two significant financial matters during the October 24, 2019 meeting, totaling over $716,000 in expenditures and grant funding. **Community Corrections Equipment Contract** The Council approved Resolution 1027-19, authorizing a contract with REM Co., Inc. for $216,950 to purchase, install, and maintain washers and dryers for the Community Corrections facility. This contract covers both the initial equipment procurement and ongoing maintenance services to ensure proper operation of laundry facilities within the corrections system. **Fire Department Grant Funding** The Council also addressed grant funding totaling $500,000 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. These funds are designated specifically for the evaluation of the Lexington Fire Department's Community Paramedicine Program. The Community Paramedicine Program represents an innovative approach to emergency medical services, extending paramedic care beyond traditional emergency response to include preventive and community-based health services. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant will enable a comprehensive assessment of the program's effectiveness, outcomes, and impact on community health. This evaluation will provide valuable data on how community paramedicine initiatives can improve healthcare delivery while potentially reducing costs and improving patient outcomes in the Lexington area. These financial actions demonstrate the Council's commitment to both maintaining essential infrastructure for public safety facilities and supporting innovative healthcare delivery models through the fire department's expanded services. ## Appointments The Council approved several appointments and reappointments to various city boards and commissions during the October 24, 2019 meeting. **Airport Board** • Garyen Denning was reappointed to the Airport Board • Don Mosier was reappointed to the Airport Board **Black & Williams Neighborhood Community Center Board** • Lewis Brown was reappointed to the Black & Williams Neighborhood Community Center Board • Anne Greene was reappointed to the Black & Williams Neighborhood Community Center Board **Other Board Appointments** • Melissa Sedlaczek was appointed to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers • Mamata Majmundar was reappointed to the Board of Health • Robert Rouse was appointed to the Vacant Property Review Commission • David Lowe was reappointed to the Water Quality Fees Board The appointments included both new appointments and reappointments of existing board members to continue their service on various municipal boards and commissions that oversee city operations and community services. ## Contested Items The Council addressed one contested matter during the October 24, 2019 meeting involving personnel discipline within the fire department. **Firefighter Justin May's Discipline** The Council considered a disciplinary action concerning firefighter Justin May. The matter came before the Council as part of the personnel review process, though specific details of the underlying disciplinary issues were not disclosed in the public portion of the meeting. The Council's vote on the disciplinary matter resulted in a failed motion, indicating a lack of consensus among Council members regarding the proposed discipline. As a result of the failed vote, the disciplinary decision was returned to the fire chief for further consideration. The split vote demonstrates disagreement among Council members about the appropriate course of action in this personnel matter. The outcome means the fire chief will need to reassess the disciplinary action and potentially bring a revised recommendation back to the Council at a future meeting. This type of personnel discipline review falls under the Council's oversight responsibilities for city department operations, though the specific nature of the disciplinary issues and the reasoning behind individual Council members' votes were not detailed in the public record of the meeting. ## Domestic Violence Awareness Month [timestamp: 6:10] Mayor Gorton proclaimed October 2019 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Lexington through agenda item 1095-19. The proclamation specifically highlighted the work of Greenhouse17, a local organization addressing domestic violence issues in the community. During the presentation, Diane Fleet spoke about the importance of recognizing domestic violence awareness and the ongoing efforts to support survivors in Lexington. Council member Mossotti also participated in the discussion, emphasizing the significance of bringing attention to this critical community issue. The proclamation was approved by the Council, formally designating October 2019 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the city. This recognition serves to raise public awareness about domestic violence and acknowledge the vital services provided by organizations like Greenhouse17 in supporting victims and working to prevent domestic violence in the Lexington community. ## Junior Fire Chief Presentation [timestamp: 06:15] Mayor Gorton and Fire Chief Kristin Chilton presented a special recognition during the meeting, honoring Abdul Alyafi as the 2019 Junior Fire Chief. The presentation included both a proclamation and an award ceremony acknowledging Alyafi's achievement in this youth leadership program. The Junior Fire Chief program appears to be an initiative that recognizes outstanding young community members, though specific details about the selection criteria or program requirements were not detailed in the available meeting materials. Fire Chief Chilton participated in the presentation alongside Mayor Gorton, indicating the fire department's direct involvement in this recognition program. Abdul Alyafi was present to receive the honor, participating in what was clearly a ceremonial moment during the council meeting. The presentation was categorized as an approved agenda item, suggesting it proceeded without opposition or significant discussion from council members. This type of youth recognition program demonstrates the city's commitment to engaging with and celebrating young community members who show leadership potential or community involvement. The formal presentation during a city council meeting underscores the significance the city places on acknowledging youth achievements and encouraging civic engagement among younger residents. The brief nature of this agenda item suggests it was primarily ceremonial, focusing on the positive recognition of a young community member rather than involving policy discussion or debate among council members. --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 1090-19** — passed (15-0): Amending certain budgets for municipal expenditures, Schedule No. 14 - **Resolution 1027-19** — passed (15-0): Accepting the bid of REM Co., Inc. for washers and dryers for Community Corrections - **Motion** — passed (0-0): Closed session to discuss a personnel matter --- ## Full transcript ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Tonight we're here and we'll go ahead and convene the council meeting for October 24th, 2019.

And I'd like to ask Council Member Misati and Greenhouse 17 Assistant Director Diane Fleet to join me at the podium. We're here to talk about Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and of course that brings us to Greenhouse 17. Greenhouse 17 is a safe place to heal from the trauma of domestic violence. This farm is recognized around the world as a model of healing. It is also a place that helps survivors take the next steps, providing work experience and teaching small business skills. Greenhouse 17 recently took a big step forward, renovating and expanding its shelter and improving the shelter's safety. The city is a proud partner in this work. We were happy to be able to provide funding through a federal grant. Greenhouse 17 saves lives and changes lives. We are fortunate to have Greenhouse 17 in our community. It's now my pleasure to present this proclamation to Diane Fleet, and then we will hear from Diane and Council Member Misati. Whereas domestic violence remains a pervasive issue across Lexington, the United States, and the world, with implications for personal and community health, and whereas domestic violence does not discriminate and touches all demographics, regardless of age, race, disability, gender identity, or socioeconomic status, and whereas research shows that creating communities where people are connected, supportive, and care for one another can reduce incidents of domestic violence, and whereas Domestic Violence Awareness Month provides an excellent opportunity for our community to learn more about preventing domestic violence, to show support for the numerous organizations and individuals providing advocacy and services, and to support and assist victims, and whereas everyone deserves to live a life free from violence and abuse, now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare October 2019 Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Lexington. Thank you very much, Diane. Thank you. And would you like to say a few words? All right. We'll hear from Diane and then Council Member Misati. Or Council Member Misati first. Do you want to speak? I'm just going to tell you how fortunate I've been for the past 20 years to be on and off this board. When I started in this program, domestic violence was housed at the Salvation Army in three bedrooms, and it's grown to 40 acres, and Diane can tell you the capacity we have now, but as you know, I'm very passionate about women's issues, and this is one of my soft spots in my heart. This group of women that run this shelter are just phenomenal, and if any of you have ever been out there, you can see how transformative this whole area is and what they've done, and we couldn't have done it without the leadership that we have with Darlene Thomas, and then we have the Assistant Director, Diane Fleet, so I'd like to introduce Diane right now. Thank you, Diane. Thank you. Thank you all so much for having me here, and this means a great deal to us. I've come out here so much because so many of you are friends to the success of Greenhouse 17. I have my own tag. I don't even have to walk in through security anymore. They just made a photo ID for me, and I come in, and I think that was a lot due to Stephanie Thexton and Chris Ford because I was doing so much work with the Commissioner of Social Services, so thank you all so much. If you haven't been out to Greenhouse 17 in a while, we did have an amazing renovation recently. We've been able to increase our bed space from 32 beds to 42 beds. We are now operating about a capacity of 47 or 48, but that includes women with children, so we have some in cribs, and sometimes moms might double up, so we are there in that aspect. You also have helped us tremendously with our working farm, and I think lots of folks know that small business and enterprise really can help people get back on their feet, and also just being outdoors with wellness and trauma, being in nature, can help tremendously. So when I was leaving today, we were packing up the vegetable CSAs, and we were delivering them to Lexmark because we've got a great constituent out there that buys our vegetables from the women that grow things out at the shelter, and then we have the flower CSA in the summer. So with our housing and our transitional and our permanent housing and our farm and our new rehabbed 42-bed facility, I want to thank everybody that is here in this room tonight, and if you haven't had a chance to come out again, I really do extend at any minute we are happy to have you come out and tour. We want this place to be something you call your own and be proud of it. So thank you so much. We're going to do one with the council. So let's get a picture with the council. All right. All right. Now I'd like to welcome to the podium Chief Chilton and our new junior fire chief. It's a real pleasure tonight to welcome junior fire chief Abdul Aliafi to the council meeting. He is a fifth grade student at Brenda Cowan Elementary. In fact, Abdul, you are the first junior fire chief from Brenda Cowan Elementary School. Yay. Brenda would have been very proud of your leadership on fire safety. It's now my pleasure to read the proclamation, and then we'll hear from Abdul and Chief Chilton. I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, in celebration of our outstanding young people, do hereby proclaim October 24th, 2019, Junior Fire Chief Abdul Aliafi Day in Lexington and thank him for his outstanding leadership on fire safety. Thank you very much. So we can put it up here, and we can take a home with you, but we'll get a picture first. And I also wanted to recognize that his mother and his father and his brother are here with him. So do you want to speak first, and then we'll have Chief Chilton? You want me to go first? Okay. Well, I'll tell you, I've spent some time with Abdul this week, and I'll tell you, he's very, very organized. He's an outstanding representative of Brenda Cowan Elementary. His principal says there could not be anybody who says service greater than he does. He's also involved in the orchestra, and he's extremely, extremely accelerated in math. So what I'm going to tell you is don't go on a program with him, are you smarter than a fifth grader, because I sat next to lunch with him, and you will lose if you try to go up against him. So he's had a great week. We've had a lot of fun. He's had a lot of fun with my community services division. He's got a great sense of humor, and we are so proud that our junior fire chief this year came from Brenda Cowan Elementary School. That's just such a great thing. We've partnered with them, and they have just been fantastic. So I'm going to present him today just with a plaque that just says he's the 2019 junior fire chief, and it's just a picture that we had taken the other day at our press conference. And then he's going to read his essay that he wrote to win this title for this year. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And I will read my essay right now for the junior fire chief award. Not all heroes wear a cape. Plan and practice your escape. House fires can happen at any time, so it is important to have an escape plan. When there is a fire, the smoke detectors will go off. It is very important to have a smoke detector. When they go off, call 911. Once you open a door, you have to start down and work your way up the knob. If it isn't hot, open the door. If you touch the knob immediately, you might burn your hand. If there is a lot of smoke, crawl. Smoke contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous. The stop, drop, and roll rule is something you do when your clothes are on fire. If they catch fire, stop what you are doing, drop to the ground, and roll. That is meant to put out the fire. If you see a firefighter in gear, it may look scary, but don't run away. They came to save your life. So if you see a firefighter, come to him or her. These are the stuff to do when there is a fire. Very nice. Thank you so much. Very nice. Now would you like to get a picture with the council? Okay, we're going to get a picture. And do you want to hold both of them? I think you should, yes. Thank you. One more. One more. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. All right, this will be the time then that we go into closed session per the previous motion. We'll be back. Thank you.

We appreciate you joining us and being with us today.

We did have a good turnout, and they were very much appreciative of your information and your attendance just in general, and they appreciated the information that you provided. I've had some follow-up comments and e-mails, and people went to follow up on some things based on the information you provided. So I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to do that. Then we did have some really good information and some entertaining information about the census. So any opportunity that you have to have a presentation from Ms. Leslie Rogers, you will most definitely be entertained and get some really good information about the census and how Lexington is going about it. So, again, Mayor, thank you for coming out and providing information, and for all of those who were in attendance. So thank you. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to thank you and Council Member Maloney and Lam and the work of Commissioner Armstrong and Commissioner Ford and so many others.

And I love that they serve from infant to adult, and they have so many wonderful programs in partnership with UK and Hands. And so we had a great celebration today. It was well attended, and a group of children got to sing for us, and that was really special. So thank you for participating in the celebration today and for your work with that service that they provide. Thank you. And the singers included one special little boy, your son. Yes. That was great. Are there any other council members who have announcements or comments? All righty. Is anyone signed up for public comment? No? All right. Thank you so much.
