I'm going to offer two prayers from the beautiful book of common prayer from the Episcopal tradition. So let us pray this night. Gracious and loving one, send down upon those who hold office in this commonwealth of Kentucky and the city of Lexington and Fayette County. Pour down upon us all the spirit of wisdom and love and justice, that with steadfast purpose they may faithfully serve their offices to promote the well-being of all people. Amen.

Now, at this time, I'd like to ask Council Member James Brown for a motion. Our proclamation, this may be the first proclamation on Zoom. I don't exactly remember, but it didn't make the agenda. So I'd like to ask him for a motion. Thank you, Mayor. I'd like to move to place on tonight's docket before ordinance, ordinances, second reading, a presentation recognizing Greg Harbert, whose horse Necker Allen is running in this year's Kentucky Derby. So move. Second. Council Member Farmer seconds. So, Stacey, I think that Greg should be in the waiting room. I was just texting Council Member Brown about that. I don't see him. Oh, okay. Unless he's got a different name that he's logged in under. Okay. I do not see him either. Council Member Brown, do you know if I was thinking he was planning to attend? He was, but I think there's something going on where he can't get in. but we can proceed with the proclamation if you'd like. Okay. Council Member James Brown, if you want to text me contact information for him, I can try to call and make sure he's got the right link and see if we can help him. Okay, I'll do that. Okay, that would be great. And, you know, normally with our proclamations, we're all sitting there together in the council chamber and get to offer the proclamation and present it to the person and then have a group photo. So this will be a little bit different. And if we get Greg, we'll welcome him to the meeting. In the meantime, I have a few remarks and then Council Member James Brown has a few remarks and then I will read the proclamation. And if we have Greg, we'll ask him if he has some comments. So with that, I just wanted to say we may not be heading into the first Saturday in May, but we are heading into the first Saturday in September. And that means it's almost Derby Day in Kentucky. Necker Island is one of the few African-American majority owned horses in Kentucky Derby history. And Lexington's own Greg Harbert will be cheering on his horse in Louisville on Saturday. As everyone in Lexington knows, this city, region and state has a bit of history in horse racing. It is incredible that 14 of the 18 horses running in Saturday's Derby were bred and foaled in Kentucky, five in Lexington. But as we celebrate the Derby, the ownership of Necker Island serves as a reminder that a big part of that history is African-American horsemen. Greg works as a bloodstock agent right here in Lexington, Kentucky. And for anyone who is familiar with Greg's family, it is clear to see that his family history runs deep in racing. Greg's great grandfather, Will Harbett, was the legendary groom of Manowar. and Greg is the grandson of Tom Harbit who groomed Kentucky Derby winner Dark Star and co-owned Derby runner Touch Bar in 1962. So while we wish all of the horses from Kentucky especially the ones from Lexington luck on Saturday we thought it was important to celebrate Greg, his family history, and the diversity he brings to the sport so many of us in Lexington and Kentucky cherish. So we're wishing Greg Harbutt good luck and Necker Island co-owners Ray Daniels and Wayne Shearer on Saturday. Now, do we know if we were able to get Greg in? we are almost there oh good okay well let's have a little pause um mayor if you don't mind an image to share that goes along with this i'm sorry uh this is brad downstairs i have an image to share that goes along with this okay and if you don't mind mayor i'd just like to say a few comments and then hopefully Please go ahead and say your comments. There we go. Greg is actually a personal friend of mine, and Greg is always constantly talking about doing whatever it is that he can to give folks the opportunities that a lot of folks don't have to excel and to be the best that they can be in whatever profession that they are. And I think him himself, with his personality, his heart, and his dedication, some of y'all know he serves on the Rural Land Management Board. He's also been giving donations to the Equine Academy that teaches young folks about the horse industry and being more involved with that in Lexington. And, you know, I think he just exuberates what it is that we need more of as far as folks showing our African-American young people that there are opportunities for them when they excel and put their mind to it. So the fact that he actually has a horse running this year's derby with all the things that we have experienced socially, I think, is something remarkable and something that we can all aspire to and root on as we move forward. So I just think it's a good opportunity to recognize him and his accomplishments. Yes. Thank you so much for those remarks. And we'll go to the full screen now and maybe we can get great. There he is. Hello. Welcome. We are so happy to have you. And you are just in time for proclamation. and um we've also had council member james brown and i made some comments and and um remarks about your incredible family history in terms of horse racing and your contributions to the community and so we're really happy you're here we're so excited and i want to go ahead and read the proclamation and then ask you if you have some remarks. Okay. All right. I imagine you're pretty excited. This is Thursday night. Very, very excited. Very excited. Thank you for taking time to be here. It's my pleasure. All right. Whereas Saturday's Kentucky Derby is one for the record, as 18 thoroughbreds will run for the Roses with no fans in the stands, all thanks to the pandemic. And whereas the 146th Derby is also unique because of the involvement of Greg Harbutt, and whereas Harbutt, an African-American bloodstock agent in Lexington, is the great-grandson of Will Harbutt, the legendary groom of Man of War, and the grandson son of Tom Harbett, who groomed 1953 Kentucky Derby winner Dark Star, and in 1962 was co-owner in a Kentucky Derby runner, Touch Bar, and whereas Greg Harbett is working to expand the world of racing to more people of color, and whereas Harbett and his partners, African American Ray Daniels, Lexington, and Wayne Shear, North Dakota, have entered Necker Island in the Derby, and whereas Necker Island is one of a very few majority African-American-owned thoroughbreds that has run in the Derby, now therefore, I Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare September 3rd, 2020, Greg Harbit Day in Lexington. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Yes, and we are really rooting for you. Some of us have already, you know, done a few things with our resources. So welcome, and Council Member James Brown is going to present you with the actual plaque proclamation. And I wondered, Greg, if you want to, you know, give us a few comments. First of all, I want to say thank you to you, Madam Mayor, Vice Mayor Kay, and to the rest of the council members. This is truly an honor that I certainly wasn't expecting. This is a great recognition. It's always a wonderful thing to be recognized, but it's that much more meaningful to be recognized in your home city. So this is something that means a great deal to me. I'm hoping that the efforts that have went forth with trying to be more exclusive with the racing industry will continue. African-Americans have a deep storied history in the legacy of horse racing and the turf. I'm hoping more people will research and see the great contributions that African-Americans have made. And I'm hopeful that more owners will come in and be participants in this great industry that we have. But again, I'm deeply humbled to receive this. Councilman Brown, thank you for making this possible. And to the rest of the council, again, I thank you for this great honor. Well, you're so welcome. And we appreciate you. And we'll be rooting for you on Saturday. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I also, before you leave, wanted to thank you for serving on our Rural Land Management board. Oh, thank you. Such good service to our community. And it's a board that I truly enjoy. So thank you. Great. Great. All right. Thank you, Greg. Okay. Thank you. Uh-huh. Thanks, Councilmember Brown. Mayor Gorton, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I've been asked to let Reverend Wade know that she does not have to stay for the meeting. Oh, yes. The very Reverend Carol Wade is very patient and we we certainly thank you again and you do not have to spend your evening with us thank you very much it's been an honor to be with you all and my prayers are with you thank you very much good night thanks stacy okay now we will go on to second reading of ordinances and we'll have a pause for ordinance nine when we get to that ordinance number one an ordinance changing the zone from an agricultural au zone to a high density apartment r4 zone for 8.62 net and growth acres for properties located at 3330 Todd's wrote a portion of Anderson Communities Incorporated Council District 7.

An ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington Fair Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for the Division of Environmental services for funds in amount of $243 from neighborhood development funds for tree replacement in cave court median schedule number 12. Thank you. Is there a motion to approve? So moved. Second. Councilmember Plowman moved approval. Councilmember Ellinger seconded. And Abby, when you're ready, if you'll take a roll call vote, please. Councilmember Lamb, did you have a question? Well, I was trying to catch you before the motion. Obviously, this setting of a meeting is not easy to do that. Are you talking about the first motion under first readings or the motion to approve? Well, I was actually going to ask Director Duncan to to explain something about number four for clarification. But there's already a motion on the floor, so it would not be proper for me to to do that. So can I make, after the vote, can I have Ms. Director Duncan explain something? Yes, absolutely. All right. Thank you. Yes, thank you. We'll come right back to you. Okay. Mr. Worley? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. Mr. James Brown? Yes. Mr. Ellinger? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Farmer? Yes, on all. Ms. Higgins-Hord? Yes, ma'am. Vice Mayor Kay? Yes. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Yes, ma'am. Mr. McCurn? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Massadi? Yes. Ms. Plowman? Yes. Ms. Reynolds? Yes. And Mr. Swanson? Council Member Swanson? Yes. Thank you. All right. Those all passed. Council Member Lamb, Mr. Duncan. Whoops. There he is. Thank you. And this is regarding ordinance number four. I had received some community comments that that they were concerned about some information not being on the web page about the ZODA. And I just wanted to give Mr. Duncan an opportunity to address to address those items. And he and I talked just right before this meeting started. So. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Councilmember Lamb. This ordinance is presently and has been on the Division of Planning webpage, on the government's webpage. It's under the Planning Commission page, and there is a specific section for zoning ordinance, text amendments, and this ordinance is available for review. The summary of it, as well as the final report. So that information is on and has been on the websites for several months now. I appreciate that for clarification. And hopefully if my constituents are listening, they will know. And I will just say that it is my hope that when neighborhoods are wanting to engage in the process of the planning and text amendments, that I'm hoping that perhaps maybe our Fayette County Neighborhood Council could involve the neighborhoods back when the Planning Commission starts addressing these, so that in the future that we don't get right down to the last day where we start having these discussions and we can provide more clarification early on if the neighborhoods are involved more early in the process. And so I just state that just for what it's worth. So thank you. Thank you, Mr. Duncan. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. And I believe Council Member James Brown has a question. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Mayor. Director Duncan, on the same issue, number four, some of the feedback that I've heard have been in regards to the term of the affordable housing units that are going to benefit from this parking change. What is the best, can you tell us the best way to address maybe making a change to the term in regards to how long the unit stays affordable before it can switch the market rate based off of this benefit? Yes, Council Member Brown. The text amendment that's before you all does not make any changes to the definition of mixed income housing bonuses. That's been defined in the ordinance for quite some time, but it does make reference to that section, and that's where the five-year period is defined. If the council is interested in changing that, either extending it or otherwise, that would be a separate text amendment process. And the staff would be happy to assist with that if that's what you all choose to do. Okay. Yeah, I think when it comes to council comment, I may make that in the form of a motion for the planning staff to address that. because I think that would address some of my concerns and some of the concerns I've heard from the feedback that I received in regards to it. But I think just speaking in general, this is actually one of the carrots that we have that would encourage developers to do more affordable housing. So that's why I'm supporting it and asking for it to move forward. Thank you, Director. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Are there any other council members who want to speak to this issue? All right. Thank you, Director Duncan. Appreciate it. Now, we'll go into first reading of ordinances and we'll have a slight pause because Council Member Massadi has an amendment, I believe. I do. Thank you, Mayor. I move to amend ordinance number nine on the docket under first reading of ordinances, which is related to budget amendment schedule 0011 to also include the budget amendments for the three grants from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Office of Highway Safety Resolution number 20 under first reading of resolutions on tonight's docket. So moved. Second. Councilmember Farmer seconds. Are there questions? I'm sure we have folks in the waiting room who can answer them if you have any. Okay. All those in favor of the amendment, please show me your hand. Council Member Farmer, are you? Okay, you're in. That's a unanimous vote then for passage. All right. Thank you very much. Now, Madam Clerk, if you'll go ahead and give first reading.

And a lot of times you forget to pat them on the back and tell them a job well done. But I know Greg has been in all kind of articles this week, has been all over social media. And I thought it'd just be a good opportunity for us locally to recognize his accomplishments and what he's done for the industry and in our community. So I appreciate you doing that. On the other thing I wanted to talk about is I wanted to make a motion to ask our planning commission to review the definition of mixed income housing to consider extending the term of affordability eligibility. So move. Second. Council Member Lamb seconds that. Are there questions? all right everybody who's uh supportive please raise your hand okay that motion passes unanimously uh thank you mayor and it's just in reference to the conversation that we had earlier about uh number four i think it's just you know it's some of the things that some of the elements of our um that come out of our planning department that support our comprehensive plan, we can criticize them and pick them apart all day long because they're not always perfect. But I think as long as we continue to work at them and improve on them in the policies, I think that's what we need to be doing. And I think this is also an opportunity to do that. So thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. Council Member Higgins-Hord. Thank you, Mayor. I'm pleased to share that the work on the much anticipated Brighton Rail Trail Bridge has begun. That's a tongue twister. I will join Mayor Gordon and City Engineer Doug Burden next Wednesday the 9th at 1130 for a news conference, which will be held at the trail end on Manowar Boulevard behind Liquor Barn in Hamburg. And parking will be available in the lot behind the Liquor Barn. So I'd like to invite all of my colleagues and the public to attend. The bridge is expected to be completed next summer, and it's going to actually connect the two existing sections of trail and will span the road between the Liquor Barn and the Brighton Place shops. This is Brighton Trail with the Lexington's first rail trail, and it's used by more than 40,000 people annually. So the residents are excited, and I'm actually looking forward to walking across that pedestrian bridge myself. Very good. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to take personal privilege tonight. And since we're not going to have any meetings next week, which I was surprised that I saw that and I was glad in the same sentence. I want to take personal privilege to wish my spouse a happy birthday a week from today. And we're actually going to go camping this time again and celebrate her one of her big ones. And I won't say what, because she'll come up there and clog me on the head. So, but anyway, and I think that we have a colleague that had a birthday earlier this week, too. Ms. Council Member Plowman, happy belated birthday to you, too. So thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. Just two things. First, I'd like to move to hold a special meeting on September 15th at 3 p.m. to discuss the ad valorem ordinances. Is there a second? Second. Councilmember Lamb seconds. Is there any discussion? For the new council members, the way this works is at three o'clock, this meeting will occur if it passes. And then the work session will follow right after. So all those in favor of the motion, please. Councilmember McCurron, did you have a question about this motion? No. If you're in favor of the motion, please raise your hand. And that passes unanimously. Thank you. Thank you, Mary. And just one more thing. I noticed on the resignations today that there were five police officers and that's the largest number that I remember seeing ever in my time on council. So I just wanted to say that that is concerning to me, certainly. And I think for our community and one, I just wanted to say thank you to those officers for their service to Lexington. and we thank them for that. And I'm just, that's something I hope we're watching because we don't want to lose good men and women who know our city and care about it. So thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. Council Member Swanson. Thank you, Mayor. So as my colleagues know, we've been pretty much inundated for the last couple of weeks with emails and concerns by our constituents about various zoning issues. I want to take this opportunity to thank Director James Duncan for his unbelievable patience and clarity in explaining these things to somebody like me who doesn't know much about zoning yet, but also to the citizens as a whole. Sometimes the tone of the critique of the work of the zoning commission seems a little strong, and yet he has exhibited nothing but grace and kindness and clarity in explaining things. And I very much appreciate that and feel that needs to be recognized. Thank you. Nice. Thank you. And thank you, Director Duncan. Thank you. Council Member Farmer. Thank you, Mayor. So while we've been sitting here, and I know no one's interested in rock salt like I am, but from the commissioner, we participated in the reverse auction that Keiko hosted. So we had more bidders and a lower price, which is then followed up by one from Todd that says we were paying $89 per ton on our old price contract for treated rock salt. On the new contract that's on tonight's docket, we'll be paying $68.90, $68.21 less per ton. So it's a considerable savings. The second lowest price, well, we got the best price. Anyway, fun to talk about. And, you know, it's the COVID Jim Duncan look that I'm interested in. you know we've all got a little change going hair you know it's all good though it's coping thank you Mary happy derby everybody happy happy derby baby all right enjoy thank you councilmember Farmer director Duncan we all have a different COVID look all right okay who else would like to have to make an announcement no one i see so that takes us oh we have councilmember mccern thank you mayor i'll just say real fast it's uh councilmember brown's birthday this weekend too so happy birthday to you too councilman brown which which one james brown excuse me oh happy birthday we won't ask how old all right tell us what horse you're betting on though hey thank you council member um i'll be betting on horse 44 initials n i thank you very good everybody well thank you so much have a safe labor day weekend and a great derby day and i'll entertain a motion to adjourn move for approval All those in favor, raise your hands.
