Heavenly Father, we thank you and we honor you this evening for who you are. We thank you, God, for your grace. We thank you for mercy, for peace. We thank you, God, for just another opportunity for the council to come together for another session. We pray for your instruction. We pray for your guidance. We pray for your leadership. We pray for your unity. We pray, God, that you give them the strength and the courage to make the challenge decisions and allow every decision to be in your best interest, Lord. We thank you and we glorify you for who you are, Lord. We ask you to bless this session. In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, amen. Thank you very much, Chaplain Tatum. And next we'll proceed on to presentations. So I'd like to ask Councilmember Ellinger and Alex Franke to join me at the podium. One has a crown, one doesn't. Councilmember Ellinger has invited a very special guest to join us tonight. Alex Franke is Miss Kentucky. And she's very busy these days with appearances all over the Commonwealth of Kentucky. And will be preparing for next month's Miss America contest. Alex, congratulations. I want to present you with a proclamation and then we'll hear from both you and Councilmember Ellinger. Come on up. Thank you. I've never done this before. That's all right. Just follow along. I'm going to read this and present it to you and then ask you to say a few words. Thank you. Perfect. All right. Whereas Alex Franke, a Lexington native, is Miss Kentucky 2019. And whereas Alex is the fifth Miss Kentucky to also hold the Miss Kentucky Outstanding Teen title. And whereas Alex is the daughter of Ken and Crinda Franke. And whereas Alex is a graduate of the University of Kentucky where she is majoring in business management. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 21st, 2019, Alex Franke Day in Lexington. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Come on up here. Councilmember Ellinger. Thank you, Mayor. I'm just going to say a few words and tee it up for Alex and then she can kind of elaborate on some of the things that I've said. First of all, in four weeks from tonight, in 674 hours, she'll be walking across the Miss America stage on NBC at 8 o'clock. So we want to sit there. I know. No pressure or anything. But in December 19th, four weeks, she, as was said earlier, she was 2014. She was Miss Kentucky Outstanding Teen. And in November, she won. And June 8th was Miss Kentucky. She is a grad from the U.K. Gatton College of Business and Economics. And she just graduated. And what I would like to talk about is her social impact initiative, Adopt an Art, which I think is really important. She did back in 2013, 2014. And it takes a village and she has her parents here. I've been longtime friends with Corinda and Kenny. And actually, they have an award-winning business here in Lexington and in Louisville that Corinda was the NABA Women's Business of the Year winner in 2012, which I think is very important. So I want to, at that point, introduce Alex and just give us a little background, what you've been doing. And one of the other things she's been doing and she can talk about is that she is traveling the state as an official spokesperson for the Kentucky Proud with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. So that's one of her responsibilities. So, Alex, take it away. Well, thank you for having me. I know you all have a lot on your docket, so I very much appreciate you letting me come and talk for a little bit. Like he said, I work for the Department of Agriculture. So between the Department of Agriculture and my role as the state ambassador for Children's and Yoko Network Hospitals, I work seven days a week. So they definitely keep me on my toes, sometimes commuting four hours to get where I'm going. But today, I was at Harrison Elementary in Lexington. And we had a fantastic day. It was Thank College Thursday. So I got to talk about my experience at UK and why I got involved with Miss Kentucky, which was the scholarship money. So I've actually won $32,000 by competing in Miss Kentucky to further my education. And it's what made it possible for me to go to UK on a full scholarship and do two study abroad experiences. So I'm truly, truly grateful to be a part of this organization and to spread its mission wherever I go. Now, the Department of Agriculture, they send me anywhere and everywhere. You name it. Farmers markets, cattle shows, ag conferences. I will be at the farm machinery show. I was in a tractor parade. I don't know how many of you can say that. Quite an honor in Flemingsburg, let me tell you. And so between the hospitals and my social impact initiative, which he talked a little bit about. It's a nonprofit that I started in 2013. I went to Lafayette High School. I was a part of the SCAPA program. And I wanted to find a way to connect some of our elementary schools with arts mentors, schools especially that didn't have access to after school programs like that. You know, I went to SCAPA. We did five shows a year. And I was like, oh, we're so busy. And there were so many kids in Lexington that weren't getting to do things after school. So I still work with Adopt an Art to partner with schools, public schools, and hospitals. I work with On the Move Art Studio to reach community centers. We do everything we can to make sure that every kid, especially in Lexington, has access to equal opportunities for arts education. So between the Ag Department and Adopt an Art and Children's Miracle Network, it is the most fulfilling job I could ever ask for. And after this year, come June, I will get pink slipped and will have to get a big girl job. But I'm grateful for my college of business education. And I hope to utilize that further to hopefully be in a position one day where I can make a difference in Lexington. So thank you guys so much for having me. Thank you for making it Alex Frankie Day. I never would have in a million years imagined that just a little kid at SCAPA would be this person one day. So thank you. Thank you so much. You guys are wonderful. I love you. Oh my word. I love you. I love you. I love you. A few months ago, the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame held its sixth Veterans Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Lexington. The Hall of Fame honors veterans who served their country with military service, but also continued to serve by giving back to their communities. This year, there were 25 veterans inducted into the Kentucky Hall of Fame, and three were from Lexington. And tonight, we recognize and honor them. And I don't know if any of them, those three are here. I don't. Come, well, come, why don't you come, well, come up and stand near me. Dean Hammond, Mickey King, John Shotwell, come right up here. We're going to crowd around so the camera can get a look at you. How are you? Good. Major Dean Hammond enlisted in the Army in 1968, arriving in Vietnam in 1970, flying reconnaissance and cover missions. On a mission in 1971, Major Hammond's aircraft was hit and he received extensive damage to his right leg. However, he was able to guide his aircraft and fly 40 minutes and safely land. After his service, Major Hammond continued his community service, especially with Rotary Club. Currently, Major Hammond serves as the district governor over 36 Rotary Clubs. Thank you, Major Hammond. Congratulations. Colonel Mickey King joined the Air Force in 1966 and ultimately became a faculty member with the U.S. Air Force Academy. While Colonel King served in the military, she also was a world-famous athlete. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, Colonel King competed in diving. Although she was injured during her competition, she didn't give up. Four years later, Colonel King competed in the Munich Olympic Games, where she captured a gold medal for springboard diving. Colonel King has served the community, including serving on the executive board of the World Fit Foundation, which mentors children about lifelong fitness, perseverance, respect, and fair play. And before I finish, I want to say she has a wicked sense of humor. Thank you so much and congratulations. Colonel John Shotwell joined the Marines in 1968. He received training as a naval flight radar intercept officer and served 125 combat missions in Vietnam. After retiring, Colonel Shotwell developed training seminars for the Department of Defense, which helped prepare young officers who would soon serve in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2010, he helped in the U.S. Census and now serves as the manager for our census area in preparation for the upcoming 2020 census. Colonel Shotwell works with World Wide Hearts and Hand, which aids impoverished communities in Kenya. Thank you so much, Colonel Shotwell. Congratulations. Thank you to all of you for your service, and I believe I speak for everyone here tonight. We are honored to have you as residents of our community. Thank you. Now, at this time, I'd like to ask Commissioner of Social Services, Chris Ford, to join me, as well as Director of Youth Services, Stephanie Hong, and John McNeil with Landerman Shouse, if you could join me at the podium. Tonight we are recognizing a very special corporate citizen, Landerman Shouse, and a very special partner in that firm, John McNeil. John and his fellow employees at Landerman Shouse have been making the holidays merry for the day treatment students at what we now call the Audrey Grievous Center for about 30 years. John, I want to present you with this proclamation, and then we'll hear from you and Commissioner Ford. So if I could get John up here. They're so shy. It's a team process. It's a team effort. I agree, yes. Whereas Landerman Shouse, a law firm based in Lexington, is a generous supporter of our community, and whereas in a program headed for 30 years by John McNeil, a partner at Landerman Shouse, firm employees purchase gifts for day treatment program students at the Audrey Grievous Center each year, and throw a pizza party at the center on the day before holiday break. And whereas the firm also supports the Kids Cancer Alliance, Habitat for Humanity, Toys for Tots, the Ronald McDonald House, and Shop with Cop, among other charities. And whereas Landerman Shouse is an outstanding corporate citizen, we congratulate the firm's employees for their generosity. Now therefore I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 21st, 2019, Landerman Shouse Day in Lexington. Congratulations. And you get to share the day with Miss Kentucky. They get to share the day with Miss Kentucky. So first let's hear from Commissioner Ford, and then John, if you will say a few words. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor, and good evening, Council. As our communities, as our community and families embark upon another season of Thanksgiving, we are just so grateful for this opportunity to publicly convey our appreciation to the team at Landerman Shouse. Forty years is quite a long time, and they have supported generations of our students, and it's without a doubt that they believe in our kids, and just as importantly, in our families. And knowing Mr. McNeil's team, I'm certain that plans are well underway for this year's celebration to be held on December 20th, and both our students and staff are very much looking forward to it. So on behalf of the Division of Youth Services, our director, Stephanie Hall, and her team at the Audrey Grevious Center, we just wish to express sincere gratitude to our friends at Landerman Shouse. Your humility, generosity, and compassion symbolizes all that makes Lexington's corporate community such valued and treasured civic partners. Thirty years later, thanks again for all you've done.

We have some guests with us tonight, as you all see on our front row here. I want to introduce them each and then ask Mr. Phillip Lutz to come up and speak to us. They're with the 2020 Census. We have Mr. John Shotwell, who's already been recognized for his service, and he is the Area Census Office Manager. And Richard Edwards, who is the Census Area Manager for the Kentucky and Southeast Ohio. Daniel Munchbach, who's the Partnership Coordinator for Kentucky and Southeast Ohio. Dr. Karen Coburn, who is the Partnership Specialist. And then Mr. Phillip Lutz, who is the Deputy Regional Director of the United States Census Bureau of the Philadelphia region. Mr. Lutz manages the data collection of government statistics for numerous economic and demographic reports in a non-state area. He has served as the field operation expert to research and plan the new methodologies to conduct the 2020 Census for the 2000 and 2010 Census. He served as the Assistant Regional Census Manager, who managed nearly 20 local census offices and 20,000 temporary employees in each census. Mr. Lutz is serving in this role again for the 2020 Census. He is a spokesperson for the Census Bureau and has been a speaker at numerous conferences and events. And we're thrilled that he is here tonight to be able to address us about our Census 2020. So, Mr. Lutz, please. Welcome to Lexington. Thank you, Councilwoman Lamb, and thank you for all the efforts you're doing to work with us and the Complete Count Committee, as well as Commissioner Ford and Mayor Groten and the other members of the Council. So, thank you. We do say it takes an army to conduct a census, and with Colonel Shotwell on our staff, I guess it takes the Air Force as well. So, appreciate having him back. I just wanted to take a few minutes of your time to give you kind of a briefing of where we are in conducting the census in this area and make sure everyone's aware of the uses of census data. I'm not going to ask for a rereading of all the resolutions I just saw that involve census data to get some of the federal grants. So, I think you all know how important the census is, and we appreciate working together to get a complete count in this area. So, just a brief update. Yes, we do have our office open here in Lexington. We're currently staffing it with our managers and some office staff, and we're excited about that. That office will cover not only the Lexington Fayette area, but actually all of eastern Kentucky. There's only two area census offices in Kentucky for the 2020 census, Lexington and Louisville. So, Colonel Shotwell has a big task to do, and I'm going to give you an ask tonight for helping us do that, and I'll get to that in a moment. But let me go through some of the timeline of activities. The census is actually upon us. In March of this year, households will be invited to participate to respond to the census, either by internet response, by mail, by a phone call, whatever households are comfortable in responding. Working with Commissioner Ford and McClam and others here with the Complete Count Committee, we know that you're going to do a good job in getting your residents to respond, correct? Okay. Thank you. And the university students, too. That's going to be a nice, you know, always a challenge with us. So, there's a lot of preparation that goes into the activities that we are doing, and one of the foundations of that is we do need staff to conduct the household enumeration, to deliver questionnaires, to go into some of what we call our group quarters, populations, our shelters, our institutions to help enumerate the populations that are there. And right now we are, actually in a few weeks, actually right now we are already starting to hire some of our clerical staff. In a few weeks, we're going to start selecting some of our field staff to start doing the training and getting their staffs on board. So, that's a nice way of saying we need a lot of applicants in our applicant pool, and we're not where we need to be right now. So, I just wanted to bring that to your attention and ask for your assistance, not only in helping us make people aware of the census and the importance to respond to the census, but right now we have jobs that we need to offer people, and we have several thousand applicants we need just in Fayette County alone to hit some of our targeted goals. The jobs are very flexible. One of the things that we ask your assistance on is to let people know that jobs are available because we're actually looking for people that aren't necessarily looking for work. A lot of people who take our jobs, and Colonel Shotwell is a perfect example, are people that want to help their community, might have some time on their hands, and want to be part of an important effort of our nation. This is our 24th census in 1790. It's part of history. It's an important civic engagement. People know how important it is to their schools, to their communities, and they want to be part of it. We need your assistance to let people know they can be a part of it by applying for some of our jobs by going to 2020census.gov slash jobs, and we have some information that we can leave with you. The jobs also, even if you are working, you just want to, most of our jobs will actually be in the March, April, May time frame, you know, just when those Christmas bills are coming due, and maybe people want to earn a little extra money for a few weeks. Our jobs are temporary. They're short-term. They're flexible hours. You tell us what days and hours you're available, and if we have work in your area, we'll assign that work to you. You can change your hours up on a daily basis. So a lot of people don't know that we have that level of flexibility, and just like we're asking you to do outreach to the community to let them know how important it is to respond to the census, we'd like to also dovetail on that and ask you for any help to let people know about the jobs that are available as well, because we are going to start making selections. The jobs are paying currently between $12.50 to $19 an hour for some of the field work. I see we might be paying a little bit more than some of the jobs you were offering up there, so don't want to compete with you, but they're short-term and not permanent, but anything you can do to let people know we have this network available. So again, you're going to start seeing, change subjects slightly, you're going to start seeing a lot of advertising and awareness that our national advertising campaign is going to be doing in January and February to make people aware of the census. The work you're doing with the Complete Count Committee, making particularly our low-response communities aware of the importance of the census is very helpful. Coach Cal has his PSA that he's done for us. I don't know if you've seen it or not, but you've seen it. It was good, right? Okay. Thank you so much, and would you say again the website where people can apply for a job? Yes, 2020census.gov. We have the brochures and information there for you. Because I know council members have a way to put that information out, and I also do, so that our citizens can see it and apply to help you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you all for your help. Yes. All right. Council Member Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. I just have a few things. One, council members, you received the packet for the budget, the BFED committee, which is scheduled for December 3rd today. We tried to send it out very early, so I want to thank Hillary and Christina and Stacey, who did that, so that you would have it well before the meeting to review. There's a lot of information in it, so if you have questions, please let me know beforehand. Then I have two kind of show-and-tells. One is this packet. The Lexington Community Radio did their On Common Ground program back in September, and many of you attended that. This is their report from that. It's a really nice, very limited edition. They tell me we only have 20 of these, but they're in my office, so if you would like to have a reference point for what happened and the data they produced and some of their analysis, I have it, so stop by the office and pick one of those up. Then secondly, there was the 100th anniversary of World War I. In my constituents, his dad was one of those people who kept a journal of his time at World War I. He's a former Kentucky State Rep, and he produced the diary from his father's time in World War I. John Hayes, Joseph Hayes, I'm sorry, is his name. So he sent me this, which is really neat. If you're a history geek like I am, it's really neat to read the first testimony firsthand of what that was like during that time. So I have one in my office if you're interested in looking at it, and two, I have ways in which you too can order one of these diaries and see it. I thought there was a really neat way of showing history, and I thought it was nice of the gentleman in the district to send it to me to have on staff. So thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. First of all, I want to thank the Census folks for being here. We appreciate the work you're going to do, and I'm glad you pay people more because you only work once every 10 years. I noticed. I noticed. Anyway, Mayor, I followed your leadership role and went yesterday to the Health Department. I know other Council Members, I think Council Member Reynolds tomorrow, to go over and take the Narcan training, which, you know, this is the product, and there's some pictures they're showing. I don't know. This is just a really sad thing. The needle exchange program in the Rice Leach Room there has, since 2015, exchanged a million needles, which is just an astounding number. The work with Narcan is to stop folks or to help folks who are in a seizure to overcome that, and the training to deliver this is rending in and of itself, but the opportunity to give it is something I assume I would be ready for. But basically, if you find someone who is unresponsive, you just have to assume that they're in some sort of withdrawal, rather than, you know, the luxury of growing up a little innocent. You just maybe would have assumed they had maybe a little too much to drink. All right? So I've done it. You've done it. I think if we all did it, it would be a great signal to our community about changing the stigma around saving a life of someone who is hopelessly addicted to something for which they cannot make a difference on their own. They need help. They need someone to give them a lifeline, and even if it's just this one time, that can make a difference. Or if you talk to the professionals over there, they know the importance of treating folks with dignity, but then giving them the listening ear that they may need to find the first path to treatment. I think in the larger sense, that is what each of us does here on behalf of all the citizens of Lexington. So with that, I just wanted to thank you for leading there, and I was glad to go over there yesterday. And then, as I always write about, or always am pleased about, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I just think it's truly a unique American holiday that gives us the time to give thanks. I actually got out my old Merriam-Webster today, and yes, the actual book, yeah, I blew the dust right off of it, and it is defined there as a day appointed for giving thanks for divine goodness. And, you know, there's no better words than that. And to enjoy that here in Lexington is a special privilege. So happy Thanksgiving to all. Thank you, Mayor. Very good. Thank you very much. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Council Member Farmer, for sharing that, because Thanksgiving is also my favorite holiday. And it's not just the food, which is a bonus, but it's the fellowship that we have in our family and throughout our community. I just wanted to acknowledge our Director of Homelessness, Polly Ruddick. This past, I think, Monday or Tuesday, I joined her and our code enforcement officer, Steve Gahaper, and went out and did street outreach. I think now that the weather's changing, it's getting colder, you know, there's some folks that are out on our streets and in places that aren't so obvious that still need services and resources. And I was impressed about how the code enforcement officer, Steve and Polly, went about doing their job. They just, you know, went out, approached the people, told them who they were. And a lot of times when you identify yourself as government, people start to kind of freak out and kind of run. But I think the way that they approached them, talked to them with respect and dignity, and offered the services that the city has available to them, got a respective response and offered them opportunities for services and housing in order to get on the list of housing. So I just want to acknowledge you, Polly. I know you do your thing on a day-to-day basis, and I think sometimes we take it for granted along with other people in our government. And it was a pleasure for me to go and witness what you do on a day-to-day basis. And I look forward to doing it again. So thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. Councilmembers, anything else for the good of the whole? All right. Next is public comment. Is there anyone who wished to speak about anything in the whole world? All right. I don't think anybody's going to take us up on that. So with that, do I hear a motion to adjourn? Second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. We are adjourned. Thank you so much.
