Welcome, Pastor Eaton from Southland Christian Church. And Pastor Eaton is here to offer our invocation. Yeah, thank you so much, Mayor and Councilwoman Baxter, for the invitation to come. It's an honor and privilege to be with you all tonight. And, man, I was just thinking about how it's such a blessing, but also a great burden for those of us who are in roles of leadership. And I want to just start by thanking each of you for our leadership that you offer our community. And it's just awesome to be here with you guys and to pray with you and for you. And so if you would just join with me in prayer. Father, I thank you for the leaders in this Zoom chat right now, and I pray that you give all of them the wisdom that they need to make the decisions that they have to make that, God, you know, impact so many lives. And Lord, I ask for favor and wisdom and peace that can only come from you as they make the difficult decisions that they have to make. God, I ask for unity and healing in what has been an extremely difficult year for everyone in Lexington and in Kentucky and in our world. And I ask all of these things in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you so much, Pastor E. Thank you all. Have a good night. Thank you. You too. All right. Next, we have public comment. And we do have some folks who want to come into the Zoom to speak to the council. So I'll let Stacey bring them in first. I believe is Emma Anderson. And there you are. Hi, Emma. So when you are ready, will you please state your name and address for the record? And you'll have three minutes to speak. we can't hear you how about now yep that's perfect all right cool okay my name is emma anderson my address is 1207 fincastle road um uh 40502 and i am commenting today because i'm concerned about the collective bargaining agreement between the city and the FOP. Specifically, I'm worried about issues with accountability that have significant negative impacts on the community as well as on police officers that are employed with the department. I'm going to be pretty general tonight, but several community organizations have spent a lot of time going over the CBA and have some really excellent suggestions, like specific suggestions associated with that. One of the things that I think is really problematic is the informal formal complaint process. It seems that it is sort of, you know, closed loop and there's not a lot of accountability built in. Um, the previous CBA prior to the implementation of the current CBA, the, the chief of police did not have, um, as, uh, sent like, you know, as sole authority over the discipline processes outlined in article 15 section three part D. um he i mean the there's just like a lot of responsibility and authority put into one person in a discipline process and i think that it made more sense to have a discipline process that has has more involvement and the um the uh racial justice subcommittee had some some really good suggestions i think on um a way to bring civilians into that um process uh so anyways i'm i understand that the CBA is up for renewal this year and that the suggestions for change have to be submitted, I think maybe by the 1st, March 1st. And I just ask that city council extend the deadline to allow the public to express their concerns and suggestions for improving the CBA. And I think that so far the process has been less than transparent and a lot I wouldn't know about about the situation if it wasn't for some very committed community organizers that sort of keep keep us up to date and do a lot of work to to know what's going on with that kind of thing so um yeah i think that given the role of police in our our society it's extra important to have public input on on things that are as important as the cba and i think that to ignore public opinion on the matter would would would be dangerous and I think it would just be better for everyone if if there was more room for suggestion from the community. Miss Anderson I'm sorry your your three minutes is up. I'm done thank you so much I appreciate it. Thank you Emma nice to see you again. Garrett Gabriel if you will say your name and address for the record please and you'll have three minutes. Yes, ma'am. So my name is Garrett Gabriel. I do typically go by Gigi just colloquially as a nickname. My pronouns are she and they most typically, but my address is 406 East 6th Street, Lexington, Kentucky. So I'm going to try to be as quick as possible. I did read the CBA and I do have very specific technical notes. So very quickly, kitty cat, I love you, but go on. So first and foremost, within Article 1, Section 1, Section 3, it does outline the LFUCG recognizes the lodge as the exclusive collective bargaining representative of its sworn police officers holding the positions of lieutenant and captain in the police department. So that is a specific group of people. A lot of the time when we talk about the bargaining agreement, it's understood or thought to be referring to all officers, and that's just not the case. I would also like to point out before I continue that my stepfather was a Lexington police officer specifically. So I've been a product of the Lexington policing system for a long time. I have loved and continue to love my stepfather. He knows that I'm here talking. he does not know what I'm talking about. So continuing on quickly, Article I, Section 1, essentially members are only specifically captains, lieutenants, and anything above captain. But the things outlined in document are legal protection, sick leave, leave of absence, health insurance. Within the section of health insurance, Article 29, Section 2.2.8. So Section to article A, or I'm sorry, point A, health insurance employee and member are conflated a little bit. So there is a little bit of like poor writing potentially. Let's see. An argument that they might actually have a little bit of corruption hidden within the document itself would be within article nine, section three of the document in assignments. Lieutenant is actually put as a specific protected class of employee. So a transfer within department is something that lieutenant it defines as lieutenant of a transfer of a lieutenant is a movement from one position of a task assignment within the department to another position or task or assignment. The following may be reasons for transferring a lieutenant and then 9.3.2 would include lack of funding resulting from a loss of federal or state funds. So you actually can't even fire or lay off a lieutenant. So once again, not everybody is protected by the document. The document is not protecting all officers indiscriminately. Let's see, I'm trying to go through quickly because I didn't realize there was going to be a three minute time. Garrett, Gabriel, I'm so sorry, your three minutes is up. I have discrimination complaints. um uh does the council want to give him another minute i do prefer she they if you don't mind i'm apologize gg i move to uh give one more minute yes ma'am i'll go as quickly as i can second second number ellinger all those in favor please show your hand anyone opposed all right that motion passes. You'll have one more minute. Thank you very much. And I do appreciate all of you. Really quickly within, it talks about an article for non-discrimination policies within race specifically. And this is all in document. Article 14, section four. No member shall be required to work in excess of 15 hours consecutively. This section shall not apply for Roots and Heritage Festival, New Year's Eve events, 4th of July, and in exigent circumstances or other similar events as designated by the chief. So to me, that reads as an instance where the police department is putting criminality on specifically Roots and Heritage Festival. Within sexual orientation, a type of discrimination that's written into the document, paid and unpaid leaves Article 23, Section 3. They request up to four hours of leave with pay donate blood during regular work hours at any licensed blood center certified by the Food and Drug Administration. My understanding is that it is currently a class D felony for a man to donate blood within a year of having sex with a man. I'm sorry you're out of time again. I'm sorry. Yes ma'am. I would just finishing would like to say that to me that it is discrimination if not entrapment. Thank you so much, Garrett. We appreciate your comments. Thank you. Thank you. Council members, Dave Barbary, Stacey, is that, did we have anybody else for public comment? No, ma'am. I know some of you asked questions at the work session about collective bargaining, And Dave Barbary is in the waiting room if you want to hear briefly from him. Or if you don't, it's okay, too. But would you like to hear from Dave? All right. Welcome, Dave, whenever you're up and running. Sure. Good evening. We sent an email earlier today. I don't know if you all have had a chance to look at it or not. And I apologize for not communicating this to you earlier, like maybe on Tuesday. But there's always a sensitivity to talking about bargaining in a public venue. It's understood, and this is the general practice throughout the country, that you really don't talk about the specifics of what you're bargaining about, you know, in public. And there's a lot of reasons for that. Some of them are legal and some of them are just practical. There's a trust factor and you really don't want to get in a situation where the contract itself is being negotiated publicly. With respect to where we are, we have started bargaining with the police officers and sergeants. We've made some progress. It's really difficult with any contract to give you a definitive timeline about when the contract might be in front of you all. this has been particularly challenging, I think, this time because of COVID and because we're still trying to get a handle on our financial situation, as you all know, which may look significantly different and better if a stimulus package is adopted federally that assists us versus not getting any assistance at all. So I think that once the financial issue becomes clearer, I think that the pace of the bargaining will likely pick up and we will have some end in sight. But I don't know that I could really give you all any kind of specific date when it might be in front of you all for ratification purposes. Once we have a final document, the process is that you all may recall from some of the other agreements, the union needs to ratify it first, and then we would bring it to you all. in full you'd have the entire agreement and we would also have a summary that highlights the most significant changes in that agreement that we think were the most important things that changed from the last agreement and so all of that information would be in front of you all before you all made a determination on whether to ratify the contract or not and I'd be happy to answer any questions. I think there may be some, Councilmember Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Bobbery. Would you just, I think Ms. Garrett may have been confused about the lieutenant's contract being separate from the sergeant's and officer's contract. It is, we actually have six different collective bargaining contracts. There's two for each unit has collective bargaining. There's typically a contract for the upper level employees and then there's a contract for most of the employees. In this particular case, we are currently negotiating the officers and sergeants contract. We have not yet begun negotiation on the lieutenant's contract at this point in time. Thank you. I know it's confusing if you're inside. It certainly is outside to know all the different levels of negotiating with contracts. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Are there other questions, council members? Dave, thank you very much. And as we indicated in the email, I'm happy to, if you, if you just give me a call sometime and you want to talk about some of this, that's fine. I mean, I mean, we can talk about it to a point. There may be some things that are too sensitive to get into. But if you all have a general question about it, just feel free to reach out to me and talk about it. Okay. Thank you very much for that. Thank you all. And Abigail, thank you for being our timekeeper. It's a hard job. You have to break in. Next, we'll move on to minutes of the February 11th council meeting. Could I have a motion, please? So moved. Thank you, Vice Mayor K. News. Councilor, have a second. Are there any questions? All those in favor, please raise your hand. Anyone opposed? Same sign. All right, that motion passes. Next up, we have a very exciting presentation. and um Stacy if you can let uh Aaron Pursley and uh Brianna Pursley and I don't know if any of our students are here in uh Charles Wilson and Grace Hensley are they in the waiting room all right very good okay well this is about the euphrates partnership for youth essay contest winners and we all know that our young people are our future and that's why i'm really excited to honor these three amazing high school students who are with us this evening. Euphrates International Investment Company, Partners for Youth, and Tates Creek High School teamed up to conduct an essay contest for Tates Creek students. The topic was how to improve racial equity in Lexington. Over the past year, we have worked together to root out systemic racism in our community, and as I read these excellent well-written essays, it made me even more grateful for our young people. 18 students entered the contest and 16 judges selected the three winners. So our third place winner is with us tonight, Grace Hensley, with a score of 87 and Grace was awarded $100 and she is a senior at Tate's Creek. So yay, Grace. And then our second place winner chose to remain anonymous. Her essay received a score of 90 and the winner took home a prize of $150 and we thank that student. And then our first place winner is with us, Charles Wilson. He had a score of 91 and was awarded $250, and Charles is a senior at Tate's Creek High School. Congratulations. And so first, I want to thank Aaron Persley, who is with us tonight. Aaron is president and managing partner of Euphrates, and Aaron led this effort. So I wanted to invite you to say a few words. Thank you, Mayor. It's my pleasure. First, I want to thank our partners, the Partnership for Youth, Dr. Mills and Tate's Creek High School faculty for helping us with this program. I also want to thank Mayor Gordon for her support of this effort. But most importantly, I want to thank all the students that participated in our essay contest. When we launched Euphrates International Investment Company, we said we wanted to invest in the community. We also decided that we wanted to focus on youth development and education as our main and primary focus. So this is the first of many activities you'll see from us in the coming years working with our youth in Lexington. Now, my last words, I want to be brief, is to the winners and the young people who wrote their essays. Please remember this. The aim of education is not knowledge, but action. So I pray that the city council and the mayor will read your essays and find creative ways to address racial inequality in our city. For you as students and future leaders, I pray that you will remember your essays and lead in a manner that is the foundation of equality, justice, fairness, and love. And with those words, I will say thank you all very much and congratulations to all the students. And thank you, City Council, for this opportunity. Thank you. Thank you, Aaron. Great to see you. Good to see you as well. Next, we'll hear from Brianna Persley, our Executive Director of Partners for Youth. Welcome. Welcome. Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Council. We appreciate this opportunity for young people to be able to elevate their voices and city government. So we just want to be brief as well. We want to thank Euphrates International Investment Company for really investing their time and their money in our youth. Mr. Mills at Takes Creek High School, very instrumental in these children's lives, even delivered their checks and their certificates to them because he's that dedicated. And we just really, once again, want to thank you for giving them an opportunity to know that they have a voice. to Grace, to Charles, and to all the contestants. We are so proud of you. And please continue to remember that you do have a voice and people want to hear it. So please keep sharing your thoughts and your feelings. Appreciate it. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council. Thank you so much, Brianna. Grace, would you like to say anything? Your essay, Grace's essay talked about how all lives can't matter until Black lives matter. It was a wonderful essay. I just wanted to say thank you to Mayor Gordon and the council for giving me a chance to speak. And thank you to the Euphrates International Investment Company, Tate's Creek High School, and Partners for Youth for this opportunity. I really do hope for a future where this prompt doesn't have to be given and that racial equality is the perspective that every citizen shares. And writing this essay just really gave me a chance to learn a lot about myself. And I really strongly aspire to be an educator. So being able to influence the youth to have unbiased opinions is an important goal for my future. So thank you for giving me the space to not only learn about myself, but to provide ways to begin the change in my community. Thank you so much and congratulations, Charles Wilson. Charles, you wrote a lot about community and I loved your idea about community cultural ambassadors. And would you like to say a few words? Welcome. Yes, thank you so much for having me, everybody. This is such an amazing opportunity. I'm just going to start off and tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Charles Wilson. I am a senior at Taitreak High School. I'm an Academy Ambassador at Taitreak, and I'm also their student body president, and I have a part-time job at a wonderful local business, Faded Haircuts for Men. I'm just going to go over three ways that I believe we can improve racial equality in Lexington. The first one is just a voice. Community awareness is key to eliminating and healing the racial divide. Lexington needs to make community awareness priority. And then, like Mayor Gordon said, is the cultural ambassadors at each school. So we can all come together as one, not just Taitrick High School in Lafayette. We can all come together as Lexington and work together to improve racial equality. The second is pride. I want everybody to look at any neighborhood in Lexington and say, I'm proud of that neighborhood. So maybe there's a few neighborhoods that we need to add some energy to and we need to focus on and maybe just improve on a bit so we have that pride so we can look anywhere in Lexington and say, I'm proud of that neighborhood. I'm proud of what Lexington is. And the last one is just being united. I think it would be sometimes I feel like schools are at an uneven playing field when it comes to fairness and certain stuff. So I think every school in Lexington should have a fair opportunity to have a wonderful business partner. If that's just tutoring students coming to read to the kindergartners and just share information about their business and give students wonderful opportunities for the future. something I would love to talk about just a short summary something I'll never forget is the past superintendent Manny Caulk he made shirts for all the Fayette County employees that said all in my mom's a teacher in Fayette County she's a public school teacher at Southern Elementary and when I saw that shirt I thought we all have to be in to improve racial equality so if we want to change Lexington and make it the best city in the world we need to be all in Lexington is a place of many different skins and colors. So no matter who you are, you need to be proud to be born in Lexington and you need to value Lexington. Again, thank you so much for having me. That's great. Thank you. Congratulations to all of you. All right. Thank you. Thanks, Brianna. Thanks, Aaron. All right, Council members, let's go right on into reading of second reading of ordinances. Yes, ma'am.

I think just the fact that we let folks know that it's in process and that we're all in tune to it, I think is a benefit. So I appreciate that update. The other thing is a big kudos to Brianna personally and partners for youth and the presentation to those young people. Seeing those young people on the screen kind of reminded me of my PTA days, being in school all the time and unlocking the potential of those young people is is something that brings warmth to my heart. So I appreciate them, them and what all they've done to to recognize those young people. and then mayor i didn't know if you were going to do uh as a presentation coming but today in the budget hearings you had mentioned uh director stack uh recognition of the director of the year are you going to do something else on top of that i don't want to take the thunder but that's a pretty big record recognition and um for his accomplishments and his work in e911 i just thought it something that just needed to be noted it is uh we haven't yet done anything in a council meeting. We've done some things in public safety, so we can certainly honor him at a work session or a council meeting. Okay, okay. All right, well, that's all I had. Thank you, Mayor. Okay, thank you.
