The council addressed two primary agenda items during the session, both of which were successfully approved through the legislative process. The meeting focused on municipal financial matters and infrastructure improvements, with council members taking action on budget amendments for municipal expenditures and authorizing a purchase for the Materials Recovery Facility. Both agenda items received approval from the council, demonstrating consensus on these municipal priorities. Throughout the meeting, the council heard from three members of the public who provided comments during the public participation portion of the proceedings. The council conducted two formal votes on the agenda items presented, with both motions receiving favorable outcomes. The virtual format allowed for continued civic engagement while maintaining public health protocols during the ongoing pandemic period. ## Attendance The following members were present at the meeting on May 27, 2021: • Kay • Kloiber • Lamb • LeGris • Moloney • Plomin • Reynolds • Sheehan • Worley • Baxter • Bledsoe • F. Brown • J. Brown • Ellinger **Absent:** McCurn No members arrived late to the meeting. A total of 14 members were present with 1 member absent. ## Votes and Decisions The council conducted two roll call votes during the meeting, with both measures passing unanimously. **Ordinance 0481-21** [timestamp: 02:00] Ms. Plomin motioned to approve Ordinance 0481-21, which amends budgets for municipal expenditures under FY 2021 Schedule No. 46. Mr. Ellinger seconded the motion. The ordinance passed by roll call vote with 14 ayes and 0 nays. All council members voted in favor: • Kay, Kloiber, Lamb, LeGris, Moloney, Plomin, Reynolds, Sheehan, Worley, Baxter, Bledsoe, F. Brown, J. Brown, and Ellinger **Resolution 0393-21** [timestamp: 05:00] Ms. Plomin motioned to approve Resolution 0393-21 for the purchase of parts and services for the Materials Recovery Facility. Mr. Ellinger seconded the motion. The resolution passed by roll call vote with 14 ayes and 0 nays. All council members voted in favor: • Kay, Kloiber, Lamb, LeGris, Moloney, Plomin, Reynolds, Sheehan, Worley, Baxter, Bledsoe, F. Brown, J. Brown, and Ellinger Both votes demonstrated unanimous council support, with no abstentions recorded for either measure. ## Budget and Financial Actions The meeting addressed two financial resolutions totaling $25,000 in expenditures for city operations and services. **Materials Recovery Facility Equipment Purchase** The council considered Resolution 0393-21, authorizing the purchase of parts and services for the Materials Recovery Facility from Louisville Industrial Supply in the amount of $20,000. This expenditure supports the ongoing operations and maintenance of the city's recycling processing facility. **Dockless Vehicle Data Management Services** Resolution 0394-21 addressed a contract for data management services related to dockless vehicles with Populus Technologies, Inc. for $5,000. This contract covers data management services for the city's oversight of dockless vehicle programs, which typically include shared bicycles and scooters operating within city limits. Both resolutions represent operational expenditures to support existing city services and infrastructure maintenance. The Materials Recovery Facility purchase represents the larger portion of the approved spending at 80% of the total financial actions considered during this meeting. ## Public Comment Three residents addressed the council during the public comment period, covering topics ranging from budget recommendations to law enforcement policies. **Reva Russell English** [timestamp: 00:30] thanked the council for including funding for a citizens advocate position in their budget considerations. She also requested that the public be allowed to attend council meetings in person, indicating ongoing concerns about meeting accessibility during the pandemic period. **Rabbi David Wirtschafter** [timestamp: 01:00] spoke about a resolution adopted by the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism that supports prohibiting no-knock warrants. The rabbi discussed this policy position as it relates to local law enforcement practices and community safety concerns. **Bill Farmer, Jr.** [timestamp: 01:30] offered compliments to the council regarding their budget work while raising specific concerns about property tax assessment procedures. Farmer focused on issues related to the timing of property tax assessments and problems with the current appeal process, suggesting these administrative matters needed council attention. The public comments reflected a range of community interests, from budget advocacy and government transparency to criminal justice reform and municipal tax administration. Each speaker was allotted time to present their concerns directly to council members during this portion of the meeting. ## Appointments The meeting included appointments to the Bluegrass Crime Stoppers organization. • **Robert Duncan** was appointed to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers • **Megan Vancouver** was reappointed to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers The appointments involved one new member and one reappointment to continue existing service on the crime prevention organization. ## Contested Items The meeting featured one significant area of disagreement among council members regarding the timing of returning to in-person meetings. **Return to In-Person Meetings** Council members engaged in a heated discussion about when to resume in-person council meetings. The disagreement centered on timing, with members split into two camps. Some council members advocated for returning to in-person meetings at an earlier date, while others preferred to maintain remote or hybrid meeting formats until after state COVID-19 restrictions were fully lifted. The debate reflected broader concerns about public health safety measures versus the desire to return to traditional meeting formats. Members supporting an earlier return likely emphasized the benefits of in-person deliberation and public engagement, while those favoring a more cautious approach prioritized health and safety considerations in line with state guidance. The discussion was characterized as heated, indicating strong feelings on both sides of the issue. However, the available information does not specify which individual council members took which positions or what the ultimate outcome of this debate was. This disagreement reflects the broader challenges many governmental bodies faced during 2021 as they navigated the transition from emergency remote meeting procedures back to traditional in-person formats while balancing public health concerns with transparency and civic engagement requirements. ## Amending Budgets for Municipal Expenditures [timestamp: 02:00] The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government considered Ordinance 0481-21, which proposed amendments to certain municipal budgets to reflect current requirements for expenditures. The ordinance was designed to adjust existing budget allocations to meet the government's operational needs. Ms. Plomin and Mr. Ellinger served as the key speakers during the discussion of this agenda item. The ordinance addressed necessary modifications to municipal spending budgets, though the specific departments or budget categories affected were not detailed in the available materials. The item was presented as a routine administrative measure to ensure that budget allocations align with actual municipal expenditure requirements. This type of budget amendment is typically necessary when departments experience changes in operational costs or when adjustments are needed to accommodate shifting priorities in municipal services. The council approved Ordinance 0481-21, allowing the budget amendments to take effect. The approval enables the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to proceed with the revised budget allocations as outlined in the ordinance. ## Purchase for Materials Recovery Facility [timestamp: 05:00] The council considered Resolution 0393-21, which authorized the purchase of parts and services for the Materials Recovery Facility from Louisville Industrial Supply. Ms. Plomin and Mr. Ellinger served as the key speakers for this agenda item, presenting the resolution to the council for consideration. The resolution sought approval for the acquisition of necessary parts and services to support operations at the Materials Recovery Facility, with Louisville Industrial Supply identified as the vendor for these materials and services. The council approved Resolution 0393-21 without recorded opposition or significant debate during the meeting proceedings. --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 0481-21** — passed (14-0): Amending budgets for municipal expenditures, FY 2021 Schedule No. 46 - **Resolution 0393-21** — passed (14-0): Purchase parts and services for the Materials Recovery Facility --- ## Full transcript Thank you. Recording in progress Okay, you're on the air. Thank you very much. Welcome everyone to the Lexington Fayette Urban County Council meeting of May 27, 2021. I'll read the following statement. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and state of emergency, this meeting is being held via live video teleconference pursuant to 2020 Senate Bill 150 and in accordance with KRS 61.826 because it is not feasible to offer a primary physical location for the meeting. And welcome, everyone. I'll start out and ask the clerk to call the roll. Vice Mayor Kay. Here. Mr. Kloiber? Here. Ms. Lamb? Here. Ms. LeGree? Here. Mr. McCurn? Mr. Maloney? Here. Ms. Plowman? Here. Ms. Reynolds? Here. Ms. Sheehan? Here. Mr. Worley? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Baxter? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Fred Brown? Here. Mr. James Brown? Here. And Mr. Ellinger? Here. Thank you. Thank you very much. We have a quorum and let's see. As soon as Miss Maynard, there he comes. Welcome. We have Reverend Rodney McFarlane Jr. Welcome tonight. He is the pastor at First Baptist Bracktown and is going to offer our invocation. Let's look to the Lord in prayer. Gracious God, our Father, we come to you now not out of protocol or procedure. We come to you understanding that it is a privilege. We come to you, God, because we recognize that you are the God of all authority. You are the God of all creation. And Father, we come now asking that you would bless us as we enter into this meeting tonight. You know exactly what we need to do. You know the adjustments that need to be made. You know the orders that need to be called. So God, we pray your blessings now upon our mayor, upon our councilmen and councilwomen. and we pray now, God, in all our getting, that we would receive understanding and that we would move forward for a better community. We love you and thank you for this opportunity just to talk to you and put it all in your hands, where you can handle it all. It's in the name of your son, Jesus, we pray today. Amen. Thank you very much, Reverend McFarland. Very nice to see you again. Thank you, Mayor Gordon. Yes, thank you. Next, we'll have public comment, and we have several people signed up tonight. So first is April Taylor. Ms. Taylor is not logged in. She was here, but she's gone now, so I'll watch for her to come back. And Ms. Anderson also has not signed in. Okay, thank you. Next is Reva Russell English. If you'll state your name and your council district for the record, and you'll have three minutes. Thank you, Mayor. My name is Reva Russell English, and I live in the 1st District here in Lexington. First, I want to say thank you to the council for including funding this morning in the budget meeting in the citizens advocate position to create something that feels like the citizens liaison, which has been requested by the mayor's commission on racial justice and equality. It's very encouraging and it feels really positive, like positive progress as we and you all work toward meeting the other recommendations laid out by the commission. And I want to add to that builds asks and also LPD accountabilities asks. So thank you so much for that. I appreciate your leadership on that, Councilmember Sheehan. I next want to ask you to let those of us who want to come back in person when you are in chambers and having meetings. It's hard not to get asked to ask questions at committee meetings. I used to go to planning and zoning meetings and I could ask questions if I didn't understand something and things would be clarified for me. Having that kind of real time interaction was very beneficial for me to understand how the city works and also to advocate on behalf of myself and my neighbors. You all are meeting in chambers now together. So I don't see how with masking rules and social distancing, there's no reason why the rest of us can't be in there with you. Four times a month for us to give public comment, especially because of the barriers of 27 and 30 hours, which I know it probably seems like I'm a child, but it's really hard for me to overcome that. So I know also that we have other ways that we can contact you. I know that we can email you and call you. And as you all know, I do that. But unless you email me or call me back, I don't know whether you heard me. And I know that every neighbor who emails you or calls you is in that same position. And to be honest, when I give public comment in Zoom meetings, or when I hear other people give public comment in the Zoom meeting, we don't know if your volume is up. Now, I give you the benefit of the doubt. But when I'm in a room with you, and when my neighbors are in a room with you, we know that we are heard. And that feels really important, especially as right now we're facing really serious and significant changes in our city related to policing and the racial justice and equality pushes that the mayor's commission came out with. So I would also ask that when we get to come back in person, I ask that you make this a priority, but that you also continue to make it possible for online and phone comments to continue. Some of our neighbors have transportation issues. Some of them are providing child care, elder care. and I actually think that being able to also give online or phone comment during session is really helpful. So I ask that you also continue to make that available, even though some of us do want to be with you in person. I just feel like the hampering right now is kind of significant and it's hard for us to meaningfully participate in our democracy and a lot of us want to. We have a lot that we're working on and we need your help and we'd like to think that we help you. Lastly, please pass the no-knock warrant ban with at least the 15 seconds waiting period added back in and please require LPD to release body-worn camera footage within three days after any use of force incident. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you very much. Next we have Rabbi David Wurchafter. Welcome. If you'll state your name and your council district and you'll have three minutes. Good evening. My name is Rabbi David Wurchafter and I reside at 1131 Richmond Road here in our fair city of Lexington. I am the rabbi of Temple Aditz Israel, Lexington, a congregation belonging to the Union of Reform Judaism and a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. The Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism has adopted a resolution on reimagining public safety, which calls for policies at the local, state, and national levels that prohibit no-knock and quick-knock search warrants. The Commission's urging the prohibition of these policies is in line with previous Union of Reform Judaism resolutions that state systemic change is needed urgently, including repairing broken relationships between minority communities and law enforcement, making greater efforts to ensure police forces reflect the communities they serve and ensuring that racial profiling is avoided. The imperative to ensure communal safety through righteous means appears often in our Jewish texts. As Jews, we are commanded, justice, justice shall you pursue. The sages explain that the word justice is repeated not only for emphasis but to teach us that in our pursuit of justice our means must be just as our ends the torah tells us that those who are charged with carrying out justice must fulfill their responsibilities with care you shall appoint justice and officials of your tribes in all settlements that god is giving you that they will govern the people with due justice A moratorium on no-knock does not go far enough to protect the vulnerable from the fatal events that deprived Breonna Taylor of her life. Suspending injustice is not the same thing as ending injustice. This moment calls for massive, not incremental reform. Though rarely used in Lexington, a no-knock warrant in 2015 resulted in a $100,000 settlement because law enforcement burst through the door and put the homeowner in handcuffs only to discover that they had raided the wrong home. How could anyone possibly feel safe in one's home after that? Imagine how that 100K could have been better spent on education, drug recovery, economic development, or domestic violence prevention. As we go into another summer, we strongly urge the council to begin the kind of law enforcement reform that we are calling for and to listen to the community and to Mayor Gorton's Commission for Racial Justice by passing the permanently banned no-knock warrants without exceptions. The Talmud teaches that someone who saves a single life is considered to have saved the entire world. Please help us to save the entire world by saving a single life. Thank you so much, Rabbi. Very nice to see you again. Nice to see you too, Mayor. Next is Bill Farmer, Jr. Hello there. if you'll state your council district and you'll have three minutes as you know. Thank you, Mayor. Bill Farmer, 549 Culpeper Road. It's a pleasure to be with you and the entire council tonight. Thank you for allowing time for public comment. Always appreciate it. First, I just want to, Mayor, congratulate you on your second pandemic budget. You get two service stripes for that. Well done. And to compliment the council for their deliberative work and all the decisions they've made over this week that make a great budget. So congratulations to you all. And I think somewhere back down the line, Dr. Stevens would wonder how his link system has worked so well, but it's probably his most enduring legacy in that I would say the council, the city of Lexington is more familiar with this budget than many other councils across the country. So congratulations on that. And secondarily, so nice to see you all in chambers a couple of times this week. The chamber is a very special place. It is it is in some degree a hallowed hall and one that is to be used. I appreciate that. I will differ with an earlier comment or in my opinion, there are two public meetings in the evening in which you can give public comment. And there are four work sessions a month. Generally, you can give public comment. And I doubt that any committee chair would turn down someone for public comment. So I think there's as many as 10 times a month to have public comment if you wish to, but not the reason for my discussion tonight. In continuing to endeavor with the outcomes of the pandemic and things that are going on, and, you know, the county clerk's office was closed for a long time, and a lot of data may have accumulated in some form or fashion, and that may have impacted the PVA and their work. The reason for my visit with you all tonight is I was approached by a constituent friend, a property owner, who received his property tax bills at a time after which you could make comment if you wish to arbitrate or object to the tax that you had been levied this year. and was then told they could not give that input. And I would stipulate that in my mind, taxation without representation is the basis of the democracy. So I'm not sure what the ripple is there, but I think we need to make sure that folks get the opportunity to challenge the amount that they're going to be taxed if they wish to. And I don't think there's a technicality that can overcome that. I just think it's one of those things that if you wish to challenge, you should be given that opportunity. and if it's not timely it should be this year as all years have never been like this one so short of that thank you all for the wonderful work you do i appreciate your time more than other people will know have a great meeting thank you very much thank you very much all right council next is uh minutes for the april 13th 2021 zone change public hearing and the May 6th, 2021 council meeting.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Is there a motion to approve? So moved. Thank you. Council Member Plowman, is there a second? Second. Council member LaGree thank you and when you're ready Madam Clerk if you'll take a roll call vote. Yes ma'am. Vice Mayor Kay. Yes. Mr. Koiber. Yes ma'am. Miss Lam. Yes ma'am. Miss LaGree. Yes. Mr. Maloney? No, on 81. Yes, on the rest. Thank you. Ms. Plowman? Yes. Ms. Reynolds? Yes. Ms. Sheehan? Yes. Mr. Worley? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Baxter? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. Mr. James Brown? Yes. And Mr. Ellinger? Yes, ma'am. Thank you very much. Those all pass. Council members, if I could please have a motion to approve communications from the mayor. Approval. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Is there a second? Second. Member Lamb, thank you. Are there any questions? All those in favor, please raise your hand. Anyone opposed? That motion passes. There is no fire or police discipline tonight. So now is the time for announcements, Council Members. Councilmember Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. I have a few announcements. One, this Wednesday from 4 to 7 in the Gardenside Plaza is going to be the Lexington Farmers Market kickoff there that we will have once a week throughout the summer. And there's going to be activities for children, including Art on the Move. So everybody come out on Wednesday, starting at 4 p.m. And then also on Saturday, June 5th, is going to be the second planting for the Oxford Circle planting project. So that is a project that is putting trees and plantings in the medians all the way throughout Oxford Circle. And two weeks ago, we planted a ton of trees. And so that planting is going to continue. And then there'll be another planting in the fall as well. So come out and help out starting at 8 a.m. on Oxford Circle. And then I said I wasn't going to do this again. But it really is something that I have felt very strongly about. And I still do. We only have a few weeks left until break. but I still think that there's time for us to come back for our official council meetings in person. So I'm going to make a motion that we come back on June 8th. And I think we've been doing it safely and that we can do it safely then. So, so moved. Is there a second? Second. Council Member Baxter seconds. Is there discussion? Council Member Fred Brown. Can you turn your audio on, please? No, that's a good idea. Yes, I was going to make that suggestion. Instead, I don't, I mean, I agree with the motion, but I don't agree. I wanted to make a suggestion that June 8th, that the administration come back at work session with some type of plan that would enable us to maybe start either Thursday the 10th or the 15th of June, you know, give you a time. simply because I think the governor, if I'm not mistaken, has lifted all sanctions as of June the 10th. 11th. Oh, is it Friday on the 11th? Okay. And we've got meetings on the three weeks there in June and a couple weeks in July. So there's a lot of meetings there that we could get back to normal, I think. And our budget cow that we had for the last couple of days this week showed that everybody's willing to kind of come back, and we were able to have the distance. We didn't even need distancing, but we were able to do everything in-house. So I don't know if I can amend that motion that you've got, Council Member Reynolds. but that would be my suggestion to give an administration hey tell us what we can do starting the 15th it is possible to amend the motion well i'd like to hear from council member reynolds then number reynolds um thank you um council member brown i i uh i understand your sentiment and why some would want to wait until after the 11th. I do think that we've proved that we can meet together and that the, honestly, the administration has given us different ways that it can be handled. And so I do think a week ahead when we have some very serious things that we're going to be discussing on June 8th, I think, I think would be a good time to have public comment. And I think that between now and then the administration can come up with a plan on how they will bring commenters into the chambers. So that's my thought. Does anyone else want to comment on the motion and then I will give a comment. Councilmember Legree. Mayor, this is a question that came up when Vice Mayor Kay and I were in our last DLMD meeting and I'm just curious about our boards and commissions and how or if this decision would affect their functioning. When it came up in meeting, because they were trying to figure out about their protocol for coming back, they inquired about council's plan. And I said at the time that it was August 5th. And they said, okay, well, that gives us some more time. And so I'm just curious if this affects that. And that's just a logistical question that I'm wondering about just because I was asked. So to that question, Councilmember Legree, the boards and commissions are meeting virtually by executive order. And so I am prepared to lift that executive order when we open up and have meetings in person. Okay, thank you, Mayor. That's very helpful. Okay. Does anyone else have a comment to the motion? So I will tell you that we have worked very hard, the administration, to get ready for this. And we will be ready when you want to come back in person. If it is before June 11th, we will have to ask people who are not vaccinated to wear their masks and, you know, that'll all be posted. And so we'll have some masked and some unmasked. And before, you know, before all the rules are lifted on the 11th. Yes, Councilmember Fred Brown. Can you unmute yourself? You see the problem with this Zooming crap? With that response that you've made there, and I think that's legitimate, I would like to amend the emotion, amend the emotion, the emotion that we come back, enable you all to have a plan that we come back the 15th, the Tuesday, the 15th into session, in-person session. And I might add to that, as I mentioned it, the LCC board is already in person meetings. They're accommodating anybody that wants to come in in a hybrid system, but that is one large board that has already decided to come back. So that's my amendment to the motion. Council Member Lamb seconded the motion. And again, your date was June the 15th? Yes, ma'am. Okay. Now let's have comment to the amendment. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor. And the only reason I seconded his motion, Council Member Brown's motion, is because of the June 11th date. I would love to come back on the 8th, but I feel like that after June 11th, when the governor lifts all of, and I don't even know what all he's lifting. I hope everything. Everything. Everything. Let it all go away. But I feel more comfortable with us acting following that date versus before it. And the difference between what we did this week and what we would be doing when this next time comes up is that we didn't have the public. We had staff. We had the administration in the chamber. But we did not have public commenters at the Budget Committee of the Whole. So to me, that's the difference. And I just wanted to explain why I supported it. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Lamb. The mask mandate will be lifted totally and the social distancing will be lifted totally and all the occupancy. Who else has a comment about the amendment? All right. Let's go ahead then and vote on the amendment to. I had a comment. Councilmember Ellinger. Thank you, Mayor. And when you say that, does that mean then that if we do this and on the 15th of June, then you will open up the government center to the public then? I think that's what that means. Okay, thank you. Any other questions or comments? All right. All those in favor of the amendment, please raise your hand. Okay. Anyone opposed? okay um council member warley did you have a vote i'm i'm sorry i missed it that's all right i'm with the good of the whole on this one okay very good all right the amendment passes with one no vote and so the main motion on the floor is for the council to come back to in person there were two no votes for that I'm sorry I saw yours who was the other no vote I'm sorry council member James Brown I thought you were yes thank you for correcting okay so the main motion on the floor is to come back in person for the council on June the 15th and I'm presuming that means uh committee meeting first and then work session. Is that correct? Okay. All right. Any discussion about the main motion? All those in favor, please raise your hand and hold them up so we get all the... Okay. All right. Anybody opposed? That motion passes. All right. Thank you very much. Was there anything else? we know some of you've had a hard time with this so so enjoy the last few zooms um councilmember baxter thank you mayor um i just wanted to let my colleagues know that in a light of the june 8 presentation on the senior and therapeutic recreation programming's new site proposal being adjacent to Shiltoe Pool and our continued conversations on ARPA funds. I've spoken with Vice Mayor and he's approved a presentation on the previously proposed Shiltoe Park Family Aquatic Center at the June 22nd work session. Thank you. Very good. Thank you. Council Member Fred Brown. I had one other item that I wanted to, it's not an announcement. much. It's more of a suggestion. I would like to, well, no, I take that back. I want to put it in committee. I would like to put in public safety committee the discussion on our police officer on our, I guess, recruitment and the fact that we are having a real problem with a number of patrol officers on the street. I had requested to have a street check for traffic speeding and things, and I was told by one of the commanders that they would try to accommodate with me, but they did not have enough patrol officers to do any traffic monitoring as a whole. And so I'm real concerned about that. And in this same discussion, I think I would like to know, we'll put it in committee and then go from there, but I'll have some questions there. And one of the other questions is I want to know what we can do, like we are doing in engineering, what we can do on the salaries of police officers when we have such a recruitment problem. problem and that is certainly a factor of us going forward on trying to get police officers to come forth and we may be looking at some salary increases and I don't know if we can do anything. I know in the ARP program there is monies available for first responders and I've heard that and I don't know where we're at there but I'd like to have that discussion in the public safety so I'll so mood to put it in that committee. Council Member Bledsoe are you seconding? Can I comment? Well let's get a second first. Yeah let's get a second. Second. I'm sorry Council Member who ellinger seconded and you know this is a collective bargaining issue salaries and we are we are in collective bargaining right now so i don't know how much of that can be talked about councilmember bledsoe um thank you and thank you councilmember brown but if you'll recall i think i had this in committee under the recruitment uh retainment and um of of our police officers, I think we heard it last month, actually. And part of the part of my point of putting it in hearing it was to raise the exact point you just raised, which is, we have a recruitment and a retainment problem right now. But I somewhat agree with with the mayor and that the actual implementation of fixing that is salt is with the CBA and her administration first. well I don't I don't understand that you know I'm not so sure we can't discuss it in some form or shape outside of the the agreement with the pension and with that I'm not so sure we can't do that and I would like to have an opinion from law on it I would like to ask if Dave Barbary is on because this discussion is about collective bargaining issues. Some of them. Are you on, Dave? I am. I'm trying to start my video. Did you hear? Okay, thank you. It looks like you're at the right place. You know, you all are always free to discuss a number of items that might involve bargaining but we would we would advocate it against it because it puts us at a disadvantage at the bargaining table so the more you talk about this stuff in public um the harder it's going to be for us to uh to reach a deal that we think is fair and uh but at some point you all are going to definitely have a say and whether what you think we bring forward to you all at some point's going to be enough. I mean, but I would advocate against doing it while we're in the middle of all this. There may come a time where you feel like you have to, but I don't think we're there yet. So. Well, I disagree with you. The fact we're there, we don't have police officers and we're having a real staffing problem. So something needs to be done from the council level and outside of collecting bargaining is what I want to do, Dave. Well, so anything, anything to do. Well, ultimately, anything that the government does with respect to salaries is going to have to end up in the bargaining agreement because that's how the bargaining agreement works. And we're just advocating that you do it as part of the bargaining process. But ultimately, if you if you provide a benefit, it's going to have to end up in the bargaining agreement. OK, OK, well, I want to point out there that's where I'm coming from, that we've got a problem. And we need to take care of it one way or the other. Okay? Thank you. Sure. Okay. Dave, if you can stay on just in case. Sure. Councilmember Maloney. Councilmember Brown, I understand where you're coming from. This is not just Lexington. It's all over America. The police officers are quitting. They are not wanting the job. And it's not this, that. We can't. We're airport, airport. everywhere you have professional jobs like this it's hard to recruit anybody right now they don't want it's not interest so i think to me i don't i agree with uh with uh with legal that we should not get in but it is a natural and we need to follow how other cities are doing it and i've i've allowed a collective bargain going on to look what other cities are being creative but To me, it's just not everywhere. Everybody's not wanting this job and a lot of other jobs. Does anyone else wish to speak to the motion? All right. The motion, as I understand it, is to put recruitment and retention into planning and public safety committee. All those in favor, please raise your hand. Okay, let's see here. Hang on a second. I count three. All those opposed? Hold them up. Okay, someone hasn't voted. I count nine. Who didn't vote? Mayor, I believe there were four no's that I counted. I could just barely see Council Member Baxter's hand. Four no's or four yes's? Four yes's. I'm sorry. Four yes's. Okay, very good. All right. So that motion fails. Is there anything else? Thank you, Ms. Maynard. Is there anything else, Council Member Brown? All right. Council Member Legree. Thanks, Dave Barbary. Thank you, Mayor. This is just a small announcement. I've heard a lot of my colleagues talking in the hallways about playing golf. I myself have never swung a club, but I'd be willing to learn. I wanted to share with you that it's soon time for the 9th Annual Lexington Sister Cities Commission golf scramble. Mayor, I know that you're fond of the Sister Cities. and just to remind my colleagues it's a non-profit organization that manages youth education and cultural programs of Lexington's for sister cities so I just want to put it out there that the golf scramble is going to be on Monday, June 14th and if you want to sign up you can do so at lexingtonsistercities.org and that's my announcement so it's a pretty simple one Very good. Thank you. Council Member Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to remind the public and the media who might actually be listening to help us remind those who are traveling around this weekend to be slow. I don't know about you all, but it seems like traffic in Lexington is certainly picked up. And I would say given Clay's Mills closure and construction around town, there's a lot of activity on side streets more than there has been before. and I've also gotten a lot of requests for having police monitor more closely some of those areas and there's not enough to do so. So I concur with that sentiment and if you can just remind people on Facebook and you're in your circles of influence to look out for kids playing. Kids are out of school. They're out running around going biking, traveling, etc. And it's just to be wise to drive slow and look out for those pedestrians and bikers. Thank you. Very good. Thank you. Councilmember James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to say thank you to a couple of people. Adina Tatum, who is the operation manager at the Julietta Market in Grayline Station for hosting us. Yesterday, we had a first district faith leaders meeting at that facility. She gave us a tour and some useful information about that market. And then also yesterday evening, And we had our first neighborhood leaders meeting the first time since the pandemic at the Met, Midland and East Third. And we probably had over 30 neighborhood leaders from the district at that meeting. We were able to have a tour of the facility, hear more about the development. But that just goes to show you that people are ready to get back out, get engaged and rip those masks off. So I just wanted to say thank you to Mark Johnson with Community Ventures, Phil Hollenbeck, and then also Rob Perez for making his space, the new DV8 location available to us and his staff that prepared the food. Then I'd also like to mention on behalf of myself and Councilmember Josh McCurn, with the help of Commerce Lexington, Amy Glasscock with the Kentucky Career Center, we're going to be hosting in conjunction with several other community partners a job fair in Douglas Park on June the 5th. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., there'll be food. There's over 100 employers that are going to be on site. This job fair was real intentional to focus on that corridor in Newtown Pike with the employers in that location to make themselves available to folks that are interested in work and looking for jobs. And this is actually going to spare several other one-off events that address barriers to employment. So Council Member McCurron has worked hard with this initiative, and it's been my pleasure to help with it as well. And that's all I have, Mayor. Thank you. Okay, thank you very much. That's great about your meetings coming back. Does anyone else have an announcement? I just had one thing. This is, many of you have worked for some of you long time with Susan Pluger, our division director for environmental services. And her last day is next week. And I first met Susan when she was an older teenager. And she was Susan Lewis back then and knew her through my church and spent many years working with her on the stormwater management fee, the incentives and all those policies and actions that allowed us to implement the EPA consent decree. And she has just over the I think she's been in government about 17, 18 years, maybe a little bit more. And she has she's beloved by so many people for her good, just common sense, enthusiastic work for what she does. So I want to congratulate her. She's moving on into a different realm and thank her for her many years of really good dedicated service to our people here in Lexington. So with that, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. Thank you, Councilmember Plummer. All right. All those in favor, show your hand. All right. Very good. Thank you very much. We are adjourned. I'm not going to be a good one.
