This is the Lexington Fayette Urban County Council meeting. of June 10, 2021. And for the final time, we hope, I will open with our COVID statement. Next week, the council starts its meetings in person. Due to the COVID-19 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. Welcome, everyone. And I'll ask the clerk to please call the roll. Mr. Kloiber? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Lamb? Here. Ms. Legree? Here. Mr. McCurn? Mr. Maloney? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Plumman? 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 by Zoom. Mr. James Brown? Here. Mr. Ellinger? Yes, ma'am. Vice Mayor Kay? Here. Thank you. Thank you very much. We do have a quorum. And tonight, our invocation will be offered by Council Member Preston Wortley. Welcome. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much, Mayor. And thank you all. It's always an honor to have this privilege. I would if you wouldn't mind, Mayor, if I could tell you and my colleagues I've had an obligation draw me out of town and even while I'm able to participate by Zoom now for portions of our meeting I probably will be absent and will hope to come back in but want to let everyone know that before we start. If you would pray with me please. Dear Lord, thank you for our city. A city blessed with residents who engage in public debate and demand the best of their public servants. A city with public servants who endeavor to make our city peaceful, safe, and prosperous for all. A city blessed with watchmen, protectors, and responders who ensure our ability to engage with one another in that endeavor toward a more perfect union. Lord, help us all to recognize that we each mean well in our own ways and convictions, even while we do not always agree. Lord, let us not grow weary in our well-meaning and in our well-doing. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Thank you very much for that. All right. Now, we'll start out with a public comment next, and I know that some folks may not have been able to get on the Zoom, but we'll do our best here to run through the list. First up, well, I'll give you a second, maybe. Hillary, are you letting folks in or who who is letting them in? Sorry. Yes, I am. Okay, great. We'll wait. We'll pause just a minute to get everybody in. Okay, Mayor, I think I have almost everybody. I'm having trouble. Reginald Thomas is, Senator Thomas is stuck in that panelist or in the attendee role. So I will get him over as soon as I can. And if LexTV, you can help me try to do that. This happened on Tuesday as well. Okay. Very good. Thank you very much. And for those of you who are not speaking, can you turn your video off until it's your turn to speak, please? First is, and what we'll do here is if everyone will say their name and their council district for the record, if you are not from Lexington, if you'll say your name and the city where you're from or the county, and then each of you will have three minutes to speak. So first is April Taylor. Welcome. April Taylor, Council District 1. First, thank you to the brave council members who voted for the ordinance to ban no-knock warrants in Lexington. I know from personal experience that the intimidation and smear tactics used by the FOP and those who would rather use lies and half-truths to advance their agendas are degrading and should not be allowed when lives are on the line and eradicating racism within policing is the end goal. The current legislation before council has removed the 15 second minimum waiting period from the originally proposed legislation. Removing this provision allows officers to make a subjective determination about how long to wait between knocking announcing and entering. This time period could simply be the seconds that pass between the first and second bang of a battering ram against the door. As Reverend Akin so eloquently stated, I can't find reasonable on my watch. While we would like the language absent educate circumstances wait a minimum of 15 seconds or for a reasonable amount of time for occupants to answer the door whichever is greater before entering the premises included in this ordinance as it is based on lpd's own language governing warrant execution we support any ordinance that advances banning no knocks in lexington lexington city council must pass an ordinance banning no knock warrants including this same language um we know that sending emails threatening litigation is just one of the tactics used to keep this legislation from advancing. Other tactics have included painting the picture that no-knock raids are executed flawlessly with no issues here in Lexington with many city officials and LPD officers suggesting to the public that botched no-knock raids only happen in other places. In the last five years, Lexington has paid out a six-figure settlement because officers executed a no-knock warrant at the wrong residence. While Chief Lawrence Weathers is trying to convince you that no-knocks are a necessary police tool, their botched execution is evidence of an inability to use the tool correctly and endangers the lives of innocent Lexingtonians. If LPD officers cannot be trusted to recognize a correct address and door color prior to engaging in such a critical use of force, they do not need this tool. Additionally, during a recent council work session, Chief Lawrence Weathers claimed that no-knock raids are not used for drug-related searches. However, open records requests revealed that all of the no-knock warrants used in Lexington in the last five years were for drug-related reasons. In a national survey of data from no-knock warrants, it was determined that SWAT teams found contraband in only about one-third of drug-related cases, meaning even if one believes a rape necessary for a drug search, innocent people were placed in life-threatening situations in roughly two out of every three drug raids. We also know that there are statistics that show that the Lexington Police Department disproportionately arrests black and brown citizens for drug-related offenses. Please pass a ban on no-knock warrants in Lexington and take a step towards improving the relationship and trust between the Lexington Police Department and your constituents. This is just one of the recommendations put forward by the Mayor's Commission on Racial Justice that the City Council can take a step forward on. April, you're out of time. Sorry. All right. Thank you. It's okay. Thank you very much. Next is Danny Anthony Everett. Dr. Everett, are you on? I have not seen him come on, Mayor, so I'll let you know if I see him. Okay. Thank you. Next, I have Madden Miller. Are you here? Okay. Next is Senator Reginald Thomas. Can you all hear me? Yes. Mayor, there's Mr. Madden Miller. I see him down in the lower. Okay, very good. I'm so sorry. That's my fault, Mr. Mayor. I just clicked the link. Okay, if you'll give us your name and your council district. Yes, ma'am. My name is Maddie Miller Jr. and I live at 811 Charles Avenue. Okay, thank you. You'll have three minutes to speak, Mr. Miller. Yes, ma'am. I was thinking about starting a program of the GED program where I would go to each community center and give the people in that community the opportunity to take the GED test, like just having it on the computer. But after further talking to a gentleman, the test is very hard to take, so I would like to come to my mayor and the council and ask for permission and assistance to maybe have 100 GED test books, the test book pre-test, and pass them throughout my community at each location, like at each community center or urban area or anything this summer to to be involved with my community as a volunteer i would like to surrender my time okay um does uh hillary do you have a way to contact mr miller um i email or i think someone i have i have his email for sure would that be a good way to contact you by your email yes ma'am yes ma'am you have my phone number too Okay. All right. Very good. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you for your time. God bless you. Thank you. Next is Senator Reggie Thomas. Are you on? Mayor, I'm trying to get on. Okay. We hear you. It says the host has disabled my... Okay. Okay. Let me get on. Let me get on, Mayor. This is our last Zoom meeting, so all the glitches out, right? I can't. Let me see. Okay, can you see me now, Mayor? We can see you and we can hear you. And if you'll state your name and your council district. Well, thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. I am State Senator Reginald Thomas of Senate District 13. I'm in Council District 8. And Councilman Fred Brown is both my neighbor and my councilman. I want to speak tonight, Mayor and members of the City Council, because this is an issue that we studied extensively in this past legislature. And everybody's aware that we passed Senate Bill 4, in which we severely limited no-knock warrants in this state. I was the lead co-sponsor in that legislation and worked closely with President Stivers to see that legislation get passed. And while I was proud to co-sponsor the bill and work with President Stivers, I felt that that bill did not go far enough. And there were other bills that were sponsored by Representative Attica Scott in Louisville, my colleague in the Senate, Gerald Neal, that could have very easily have supported, which would have imposed an outright ban on no-knock warrants. I think we need to understand how no-knock warrants arrived. And that was that they arrived at length during the 1980s when this nation adopted the philosophy of war on crime and very intensely focused on drugs and overwhelmingly on drugs used by African Americans and by other minorities. The upshot was that the brunt of assaults and deaths occurred during the execution and use of no-knock warrants to those groups of individuals. Okay. Lexington is a large city, and we need to be very careful about how we execute these warrants because they are fraught with dangers, as we saw by our sister city in Louisville last year with the tragic death of Breonna Taylor. I felt this year that Kentucky had to act because the nation had its eyes upon this state in the in the at least the reduction of no knock warrants. And I think Lexington has to act today to impose an outright ban on no knock warrants again, because we cannot repeat that tragedy here in Lexington. I will say this in closing, that the benefit that council members have today in passing this ban is that we have imposed the moratorium, Mayor, that you initiated over a year ago on no-knock boards. And what we've seen in that time is no measurable increase in crime because we've had this ban on no-knock boards. So we know through this moratorium that we can safely engage in law enforcement and give our police the opportunity to do their job without the use of no knock awards. So I ask all the members, council members, and you too, Mayor, to do the right thing and impose this ban on no knock awards. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next is James Woodhead. if you'll if you'll state your name and your council district and you'll have three minutes welcome hi my name is james woodhead i'm in the third district i'm commenting to voice my support for the council members who voted to pass an ordinance banning no knock warrants in tuesday as council work session i agree with the council members who recognize that this will be a step forward in promoting public safety accountability and trust particularly for marginalized members of our city who, as a black faith leader pointed out, have a history of being victimized by state-sponsored violence. Last month following May's Planning and Public Safety Committee meeting, I encouraged council members to reconsider the amendment which removed the provision requiring police to wait a minimum of 15 seconds or for a reasonable amount of time for occupants to respond, whichever is greater before entering. Let me reiterate that after Breonna Taylor was murdered by LMPD, I believe Louisville City Council was correct in including this objective language as part of Breonna's law. A 15-second wait time is actually a significant compromise to the Black faith leaders' demand that police wait 30 seconds. I'm concerned about the politics that have been involved with the proposed ordinance completely banned no-knock warrants in Lexington a year after it was called for by the community and recommended by the Commission for Racial Justice and Equality. Alarmingly, when council districts are mapped out with votes from the work session in favor of and in opposition to the ordinance, it clearly illustrates a segregated Lexington. Unfortunately, the FOP has succeeded at falsely attempting to scare people into believing that if no-knock warrants are banned, crime cannot be stopped in emergency situations. However, when people are in imminent danger, a warrant is not needed. The mayor's moratorium was by definition not a permanent ban, and the most recent proposed amendment in Tuesday's work session was a failed attempt to avoid a complete ban. The current ordinance before council is progress, but has been weakened by a council member who didn't even vote in favor of it in the work session with their own amendment included. Numerous council members have made it clear that they trust and respect the current administration of the Lexington Police Department. However, it has also been accurately pointed out that personnel will eventually change. For this reason, it is imperative that a ban on no-knock warrants be thorough and avoid being superficial and subjective with a loophole included that can be exploited. We must ensure that the sound of a batting ram knocking down a door does not qualify as a sufficient announcement by police raiding a home. We must remember that we reside in a castle doctrine state where police were placed in jeopardy and a young black female who did not have time to hear, identify, and respond to law enforcement was murdered in the middle of the night. We must remember that in our own city, a family was traumatized when they didn't have adequate time to respond to a botched no-knock raid by the Lexington Police Department. I strongly encourage the City Council to finalize a vote on the ordinance to completely ban no-knock warrants with the provision requiring police, absent exigent circumstances, to wait, at the very least, a minimum of 15 seconds. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next is Ms. Green. if you will there you are if you will um state your name and your council district and three minutes welcome jamila green district 11 first off i want to thank those of you who listened to the concerns of the community and supported the ban of no knock warrants while it was a step in the right direction there's still much work to be done today i want to address three changes that would make lexington a safer community for all residents first i would like to put an emphasis on the importance of passing the ordinance to completely ban no-knock warrants. In Lexington, there has been a botched no-knock raid that could have very easily been a deadly situation. Officers entered the wrong home after failing to distinguish a red door and traumatize the residents. This botched raid forced the city to pay out a six-figure settlement that was funded by taxpayers. Furthermore, two out of every three drug-related no-knock warrants are carried out on innocent families. No-knock warrants should not be a tool available to officers if they cannot get them right. The issue of banning no-knock warrants is not an emotional or political issue. It's an issue of life or death based on facts. Let's look at the facts and decide whether or not we want to keep the residents of Lexington alive. Lexington is lucky to not have a Breonna Taylor and each of you have the power to make sure we never do. Let's not wait for someone to lose their life before you choose to make a change. Secondly, City Council needs to enact legislation requiring the release of body camera footage within three days of a critical or use of force incident. On March 30th, an officer intentionally hit a black teenager with his cruiser going at a speed of over 50 miles per hour in a residential area. This teenager was hit so hard that the witnesses were sure they had witnessed the murder. Immediately after the hit, the care given by officers was negligent and the teen's injuries were reported as non-life-threatening. However, the teen was actually put on a ventilator, suffered a brain bleed and multiple fractures solely because of the actions of the officer. And even then, the footage or body camera footage of this incident was released only after public pressure. And even then, the footage was released with a five-minute disclaimer as an attempt to sway the audience from the truth. Body camera footage has yet to be released on all officers involved. It was through body camera footage that the public was able to point out the lies that the department had previously told. It was through body camera footage that we were able to find out that the officer reported going around 30 to 40 miles per hour, when in reality, he was going over 50. It was through body camera footage that we were able to figure out that the officer was traveling well over the speed limit with no lights and posing danger to other residents in the area. This is yet another situation that could have turned deadly at the hands of LPD. Had it not been for body camera footage, the public would have never been informed of all the faults that led up to this near-death situation. The public deserves to be well informed on the actions of officers because that's the only way accountability will happen. It's situations like these that are causing citizens to lose their trust in those who are sworn to protect this. Lastly, the city budget needs to include funding for a citizen's liaison position as brought it up in a recommendation by the law enforcement subcommittee. This position would allow for the complaints to be filed outside of the department. The public deserves to have their concerns heard and taken seriously. Filing complaints against officers to other officers can be intimidating for many, causing citizens to be hesitant about filing complaints in the first place. From an open records request, it has been observed that many officers receive disciplinary actions that are comparable to a slap on the wrist. We have to steer away from police policing the police because as we have seen in the past, it does not work. Too many officers, especially many in our own community, are getting off the hook and are avoiding accountability for their action. This cannot continue. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. Next is Reverend Clark Williams. I'm not getting the opportunity to turn my video on. Let's see. There we go. There you are. Welcome. If you'll state your name and council district, and you'll have three minutes. Welcome. I am Clark Williams. I am a resident of the 7th Council District and wanted to just come on and speak for a moment here. One of the issues that's troubling is the recurring theme that was asserted again on Tuesday as relates to the permanent ban on no-lock warrants. And that is the police department's track record when executing no-lock warrants. And the position is that it's sufficient, that track record is sufficient to justify their continued use. The police chief and other opposers of the ban on no-knock warrants point out that the last four were reportedly executed properly. Once again, they downplayed the one just before those four that was executed at the wrong home. But just like surgeons cannot afford to perform surgeries properly four out of five times, pallets cannot afford to land flames properly four out of five times. Lexington cannot afford for the LPD to execute no-knock warrants properly four out of five times and still expect to receive a proverbial passing grade. and positions to the contrary must be a byproduct of failing to really take into account that members of our police department who work for us knocked in someone's door without announcing who they were and they put a person who lived on the other side of that door in handcuffs before they realized that they had the wrong person and they were at the wrong house. Thankfully no one was gunned down like Breonna Taylor was in Louisville but make no mistake that to this day our police Department's actions when wrongfully executing that no-knock warrant likely still prevent that person in that family from ever feeling like they are truly at home, even when they're in the house where they live. So in order for us to deal with this issue properly, the question for today becomes, how would you feel if the improperly executed no-knock warrant was executed at your house? And you might say to yourself, that would never happen to you. But with the way that we are overly policed in Lexington and across this country, we as Black people simply do not have that luxury. So again, to our elected officials who oppose this ban on no-knock warrants, we do understand the issue. We do disagree with you. And we are not your enemies. But we do reserve the right to hold you accountable. And these are the things that we pray that our council members will have on their minds when they take this monumental vote. So Vice Mayor Kay, Council members Ellinger, Brown, McCurn, LaGree, Sheehan, Clorber, Reynolds, and Plowman. We've come too far with this to turn back now, so we respectfully ask each of you to stay the course at tonight's council meeting and in the meetings to come when divisiveness and fear are used in attempts to change your minds. Many in the community do stand with you, so please remember today the words of Dr. King when he said, the time is always right to do what is right. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next up is Pastor Keith Tyler. Welcome. That looks like you're on. All right. If you'll state your name and your council district, and you'll have three minutes. Greetings, Mayor Linda Gordon, and to the council, First District Residency here in Lexington and Fayette County. We greet you on behalf of the community at large, my good old Kentucky home. I don't have a new message. It's the same message dealing with an old issue, and that is the discussion as it relates to police reform. We've been going around and around talking about it for a long time. I want to plug in and commend all of the council members who gave their support in their rally for the support for the permanency of No Knock Warns, the ban on No Knock Warns. We've been calling for the last year this permanent ban on No Knock Warns without exception. Here we are, the anniversary date, maybe a few days after. One year later, the cries of Lexington's haven't been heard. We feel that the mayor's moratorium is still not sufficient, and by definition, it is the lack of an ordinance that shows a lack of commitment to necessary reforms. though rarely used it has been stated with one executed in 2015 that resulted once again in a hundred thousand dollar settlement paid with our tax dollars because police burst through the door put the homeowner in handcuffs only to discover they raided the wrong home encouraged by the council planning public safety committees unanimous 10 to 0 vote to move forward with a permanent ban on no-knock warrants without exceptions. As we go into another summer, as I close, we strongly urge the council to begin the kind of Polish reform that we're calling for and to listen to the community and Mayor Gordon's Commission for Racial Justice by passing this ordinance to permanently ban no-knock warrants without exceptions. And so the Black Faith Leadership of Lexington vicinity speak for the voice list of over 48,000 citizens, taxpayers here in the Commonwealth. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. Next is Ann Dunworth. Ann, welcome. If you'll state your name and council address and you'll have three minutes. Great. Good evening. My name is Ann Dunworth. I'm a resident of the 5th District and the Director of Development, Marketing, and Communications for the Lexington Public Library. Two weeks ago, I came to you with my hat in my hand asking you to delay any discussion about an industrial revenue bond with Astana LLC and New Circle Investments LLC for their Spiegel Heights redevelopment project on Manchester Street. On behalf of the library, thank you for granting us that extra time to reach an agreement with the developer. I am both pleased and very relieved to share that we reached an agreement for a payment in lieu of taxes, which was reviewed by the library's board of trustees at its meeting yesterday afternoon. This ensures that the library will receive equivalent revenue over the lifetime of the bond, while it also allows the developer some flexibility in the early years of the project. The agreement would be executed by the mayor and the developer as part of the industrial revenue bond approval process. The Lexington Public Library will have no further concerns about the IRB if this body agrees with the balance of the developer's application. The library is a key element of our community, and it hosts millions of visitors every year. Libraries are essential community hubs where our neighbors come together. Libraries are about art and entertainment, technology and social services, really education for all. but mostly they offer the opportunity to build a better life. As I've previously shared, our library system is funded at the lowest tax rate allowed by the Kentucky State Law through the ad valorem or property tax. That property tax provides over 93% of our operating budget without significant federal or state funding, which means that any changes to the local property tax basis has an adverse impact on our public library systems. New developments like the Spiegel Heights Project are how our libraries are able to grow to support our growing community. We remain committed to working with LFUCG and other economic development entities within the area to help ensure that Lexington's workforce has all the skills that our employers need to be successful. We've recently hired a new director of education who's taking a hard look at the library's classes, programs, and services to ensure that they are adequately and equitably meet the needs of our entire community. With a special lens toward workforce development, K-12 educational recovery in the aftermath of the pandemic, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in all LPL offerings. We look forward to future conversations surrounding economic development with the city's administration and with this body so that our city can continue to grow and thrive. We thank you for your leadership and for your willingness to find a solution that allows for both economic development without handicapping our existing infrastructure. I will stay on this meeting through your discussion of the industrial revenue bond should you have any further questions as it relates to the Lexington Public Library. But again, I just can't thank you enough for allowing us that additional time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next is Reverend C.B. Akins. Thank you, Mayor. Good evening. Are you able to put your video on? I think I am. Mayor, you're testing my technological skills here. I sent you a little link. There you go. If you'll state your name and council district and you'll have three minutes. Welcome. Dr. C.B. Akin, Senior. I'm in Council District 10 where Amanda Mays Bledsoe is both council person and friend. I want to thank all 15 of you for your willingness to serve on this council and you, Mayor, to serve as our leader in this city for your deliberate consideration of the pleasant and the not so pleasant. Certainly the issue of no not warrants is difficult and divisive at best. Though we do not appear to all be on the same side of this issue, I hope we can and do agree that disagreeing does not call for the mischaracterization of any of us as supporting criminals and not supporting our police force. It is readily apparent that police reform is taking place across our nation. For some who have the option of being involved one day and then retreating to a safe and privileged enclave the next, this is only a moment in history. But to others who do not have such retreats or such privilege, this is not a moment but a reckoning when we must count the cost of our continued involvement in solving this issue or sticking our heads in the sand after having voiced or not our opinion. People of color do not have the privilege of not speaking out, not being engaged, not getting into good trouble. Power is seldom if ever willingly relinquished. It must be pried from the grip of those who choose to misuse it. Powers dedicated to this council, this mayor, and all who serve under you must be forever tethered to the needs and desires of the many, not just the few. I'll close with a quote from William Shakespeare, who sagaciously suggested that today is only one day in all the days that are to be, but what we do today can determine what the rest of the days shall be. Please do the right thing for Lexington today. Ban no-knock warrants. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Akins. Next is Reva Russell English. Can you turn on your video? There you are. And if you'll state your name and council district, and you'll have three minutes. Welcome. My name is Reva Russell English, and I live in the first district. I would say first of all thank you all mayor and council for this opportunity to share my thoughts with you. I also want to extend a further thanks to the nine council members who voted on Tuesday to send the bill to ban no-knock warrants further and to the full council so that it may receive its two readings and a vote that hopefully will put the ban in place. I know that that has been an unpleasant experience for you and I hope that you will stay the course. And I also hope that some of you who voted against it will change your mind as you continue to hear from community members on why we need the ban. I want to explain a little bit. I'm someone who does a decent amount of organizing in town around different issues, mostly having to do with racial justice and recently policing. And one thing that I think I've heard from a number of my, of those of you who represent me and others, is that there hasn't been a lot of engagement or activity from the community around no-knock warrant bans except from small select groups. And I want to shed a little light on that. When I have mentioned to people, and because I'm a white person, the majority of people that I organize and try to get engaged are white. And when I tried to get people engaged six weeks ago or four weeks ago, they all expressed surprise that this wasn't just a done deal that y'all would vote yes, ban no-knocks. And so it wasn't until recently that they realized that it actually was urgent that they get involved. As Reverend Aikens just sort of explains white people have the right to and the privilege to become engaged in their democracy or not. It works for us. Whereas African Americans, indigenous people, immigrants, LGBTQ folks, disabled folks, they don't have that privilege. They have to be engaged because their lives and their thriving depends on it. So I'm hoping that now you're starting to see a little bit more of an influx of engagement from people who do support the ban, but have not been involved until now. And that's because of, yeah, it's because they thought you were just going to do it. And so now they see that that might not be the case. And so they're going to try harder. I also want to talk about some comments that I received also about the amount of people commenting. The Black Faith Leaders Caucus represents over 40,000 Lexingtonians. So when they speak, they're not speaking as individuals. And I would like beg you to hear them as the member congregations that they represent. There are tens of thousands of Lexingtonians who support the ban of no-knock warrants. And every time a Black faith leader comes before you or other faith leaders, they are speaking on behalf of their congregations. I've also had a number of you explain to me, and I'm so grateful anytime you give us tips and advice, that form letters are not helpful, that they should be personalized. And I totally get that. I work really hard to personalize things to you because I know that that matters. But I wanted to say that it's hard interacting with our local democracy. It's complicated. It's confusing. The language is obtuse, the timing is bad, the meetings are long, it's hard. So whenever an individual sends you anything, and they took the time to try to understand even a little bit, I would ask that you take it as seriously as like one of my 500 word emails I send you. Everybody is doing their best here. We're busy. Things are hard. And whenever anybody reaches out to you at all, please take it seriously. They count on you to represent them. For folks like me, this isn't a huge deal. The only reason somebody would probably break into my house is if they have a long address. I'm sorry, Ms. English, your time is up. Thank you so much. Next up is Emma Anderson. Can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you and see you if you'll state your name in council district and you'll have three minutes. Welcome. Okay. My name is Emma Anderson. I'm council district five. I have a very simple statement tonight. You've heard the facts. You've heard the track record of no knock warrants, you know, you know, you've heard pain and, and, and, and concern from a lot of community members. And I know, and I I've heard you all say that you have respect and appreciation for the Lexington police department. And I hear you say that, But I must emphasize that you should also have respect and appreciation for your community. The community is telling you that they would feel safer, that they would have more trust for city government if you ban no-knock warrants. This action will make hundreds of people, historically oppressed and violated people of Lexington, feel safer in their homes. It should be a no-brainer. Thank you all for your time. This issue is very important to me and to a lot of the people that I love. And I hope that you act to ban no-knock warrants in Lexington. Thank you very much. Thank you. Hillary, that is the end of my list. Is that the end of your list? That is, yes. Okay, very good. So that takes us to minutes of the May 27th, 2021 council meeting. if I could have a motion to approve them, please. So moved. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. All right.

Thank you, everyone, for your patience. Maybe the last technical glitch, at least on Zoom. We might miss having Mickey Mouse, you know, when we're back in the chamber, so we might have to arrange something new. So. Hi, Mayor. I just promoted the chambers into the meeting. I stepped out to run to the restroom, so I apologize. I got caught. Okay, great. Thank you. Okay, now, Chief, are you there? I'm here. Thank you. Welcome. All right. Well, hello, everybody. I'll just read this discipline Discipline recommendation for council approval. On April 26th, 2021, an internal formal complaint was made that officer Roman Pachowski violated general order 1973-03s, operation and maintenance of department vehicles, section five, number five. At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee met with me and has accepted a written reprimand and forward suspension of home fleet. Officer Pachowski, who lives in Georgetown, Kentucky, has been driving his issued department-owned vehicle to Stamping Ground, Kentucky without express permission of his chain of command. Stamping Ground is north of his residence and outside of a reasonable course of travel from his home to Fayette County. All right. Thank you, Chief. Is there a motion to approve this? Move approval. Second. Thank you. Council Member James Brown moved and Council Member Reynolds seconded. Are there any questions? All right, Council Members, all those in favor, please raise your hand. Is anyone opposed? all right that motion passes thank you chief weathers um next is announcements does anyone have an announcement um let's see here council member maloney thank you may i just want to a shout out to charlie martin i mean charlie lanter jenny ramsey and uh and community action because we're getting down to the end of the eviction notice, which will be the 30th of June. And as you all know, my biggest fear is, and as being a former council member in 11th district, popping up to the University of Kentucky and as the third district councilman lives, and I mean, Hannah, we see the problems when all the students leave and it becomes a mess. I'm going to tell everybody a heads up. That could very easily be for the whole city of Luttonston because that would be the day that the landlords may not want to deal with this program and they have a right to evict people without any notice. So I want to commend all those folks that are working hard to put people on the back order and make sure we have a place for these people. Secondly, I ran into a gentleman today that I've known for many years, Mr. Chris Bartlett, who you all know from the fire department who was the head of the fof and uh union and for many years he gave me a hard time and i always give it back he was a big dodger fan and i was a big red fan he's retiring today and he will be missed and he's a big uk fan and i kept saying to myself i wonder what i could give chris out with a big bang well a wish came through because when i was opening the garage door, Chris was walking right under the garage door. And if you all remember the big bucket that everybody used to throw on the fireman for a fundraiser? Well, somehow the water got hooked up on the garage and it was about, oh, five gallons of water just splashed all over my good friend. And I said, I couldn't go out with a bang, but I got you going out with a splash, but I wish you great luck in your retirement. and that water went everywhere over him. So he will be missed. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Maloney, the good news is we have $11 million of new money for eviction help. So that'll help us. Yeah, but I'm just worried about some of these landlords don't care. They may just want to get rid of these tenants. So we got to educate the tenants. There are money for them. If they do get evicted, that they can have a place to go. We have money set aside for them to find another place. And a lot of people don't know that. So if you know, I asked my colleagues to be sure to educate your district that there are money there, if they have been evicted, that there will be money to help them find another place. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to make a statement that I misspoke on Tuesday when I said that one of the recommendations coming out of the Mayor's Commission for Racial Justice and Equality was to ban no knock warrants. It is in the report. It is in the end and the conclusion, and it does talk about that, but it was not one of the numbered recommendations. And I apologize for misspeaking. I know that the press quoted me on that, so I wanted to make that clear. That does not change my stance on no-knock warrants, however. So thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Kloiber. Thank you, man. I wanted to make an announcement with the COVID restrictions lessening this week and more and more places reopening. There's going to be an outdoor event happening in my district later this month. And I know it's probably one of the first of these gatherings getting together. So on June the 26th, the YMCA of Central Kentucky will be hosting an event at the Whitaker Y in Hamburg. And they're inviting anyone interested to attend. So rain or shine, they'll be hosting the family field day titled Cinco de Waio. It's going to provide a host of fun activities for the entire family between the hours of two to five. There'll be food trucks, inflatable games, but most importantly, there's going to be five exciting field day events to compete in for a chance at the coveted Cinco de Waio Cup. So with weather warming up, I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon reconnecting with neighbors and community. So please mark your calendars and come on out on the 26th. I hope to see you all there. That's great. Thank you. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to take this opportunity to thank Chief Wales for giving me the opportunity to ride around with him this past Monday and learn more about our car department. He gave me the five dollar tour of Station One and some other facilities. One of the most impactful parts of our time together on Monday, in addition to meeting several new firefighters and officers, I got to talk to some of the folks in the paramedicine program, specifically the social workers. and just hearing the success stories that they shared and the challenges that they faced during the pandemic and the growing need for that program and the need to expand that program was very, very insightful. So I just wanted to thank them for their efforts with that program and the challenges that they face and for the chief for giving me the opportunity to learn more about what our department is doing to serve this community, and I'm excited about what is in store for our community under his leadership of the fire department. And then I'd also like to recognize one of our NROs, our Neighborhood Resource Officers, Officer Brandon Marachek. Yesterday, he, along with several other officers and public safety entities and community partners, hosted the Winburn Public Safety Day. For one of the more public outdoor events since COVID, I mean, it was a huge success. It was folks all over the place. We have great community partners. He has worked to build a lot of relationships in that community, and it's reflective when we hold events like that. So I just wanted to give kudos to him, Chief Maynard, I know Commander Metcalf and several other of our police officers, along with folks from the Sheriff's Department and other entities from city government in the community. I don't want to start listing too many because I know I'll leave somebody out, but it was a great event yesterday. And I don't know who he has a line in with, but it rained all day yesterday and it seemed like it stopped right at the time for that event and then stayed pretty for the rest of the day. So a big shout out to him. And then I'd also like to thank Council Member Baxter for inviting me to her district meeting this week. Any opportunity I can get to compliment and to tell constituents about how well prepared, how engaged and how knowledgeable about our city and the districts they represent are my fellow council members are. I'll take that opportunity. council member clover knows that as well because we had a meeting together a few weeks ago i think folks you know sometimes don't know how hard we work how many hours we put in and how much information we have to digest to do this job to the best of our ability ability and represent them and i think council member baxter along with all of you all i think work hard and do a great job and I just like the opportunity to tell your constituents that when I get the chance so thank you thank you mayor thank you council member lamb thank you mayor and you know tonight is as mayor said at the beginning of this meeting is our last virtual meeting and so I have actually I took a picture earlier and I plan on posting it but I just I want to memorialize this for a second because it's like I'm going to be thrilled to be back in the chamber. And I'm excited that my committee is, you know, our committee is the first committee back in person. And I look forward to seeing everybody on Tuesday. And don't get alarmed when you see me bringing boxes of documents back in. It's not that anything other than it's going to be unloading everything off of my dining room table. And I'm looking forward to organizing some more files back in my office again. And so I have appreciated and valued all of the efforts of all of the government employees that have put in many extra hours and loads of research in order to be able to provide this opportunity for us to be able to be in this capacity and still be able to work and move forward. But I certainly will look forward to being back in person and kudos to our next chapter. So thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Worley. Thank you, Mayor. So I want to just briefly address our end of our meeting on Tuesday. Now we are not in the heat of debate and perhaps time for cooler heads to prevail. and also particularly since the newspaper addressed the procedural ending to our meeting on Tuesday. So as your parliamentarian, I was charged to try to facilitate our rules in a way to assist our debate and keep it orderly. And my job is to advise the chair of the meeting as to those rules. when I called a point of order and said that a council member had spoken more than once it was said that I had neglected to call other council members out of order for speaking more than twice and particularly uh council member Josh McCurn was named and so I wanted just for our benefit and for us all to know section 4.303 of our rules speak but twice says no council member shall speak more than twice, no more than five minutes on each occasion, upon any one question in debate during the same regular public meeting, special meeting, or work session without leave of counsel, except in explanation, unless he is the mover, proposer, or introducer of the matter pending, in which case he shall be permitted to speak in reply. Councilmember McCurn was the mover of the item on the floor. He was asked questions by other council members and he replied to issues brought up by other council members. According to our rules, he was entitled. So in no way in trying to use these rules do I ever want to stifle debate or stop someone from speaking their mind or for their constituents. But our rules are designed to keep our debates orderly and to move items forward efficiently. So I wanted to, after we've all had time to get away from that very difficult day, address that issue in that I believe my recommendations to the chair and the point of order I call were in order and correct, but were in no means personal or related to the issue being discussed. So thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. And I would like to just add to that if I might. And Zoom, I think, has been somewhat difficult in a lot of ways. Council members have always been responsible for exactly what you just pointed out, being sure that they didn't speak more than twice unless they were in the categories that you mentioned. So I think it will be maybe a little bit easier when we get back in person. And so I appreciate that very much. Councilmember Bledsoe. Sorry. Thank you, Mayor. Just a few things. One, I just want to thank my colleagues for the budget process this spring. It was challenging. I think we all just said how hard doing these things are remotely and in challenging situations again with COVID. And so we'll do the second reading next week. And I appreciate all of your extra effort to meet to meet more often and meet via Zoom and whatnot to get it done. So I appreciate all that. Two, unfortunately, Southland baby pool is going to be closed tomorrow. There is a part missing that we're waiting for. So if you are heading over to the Southland pool, the baby pool will be closed tomorrow and maybe through the weekend. And I know we're having a ton of a hard time getting parts in to replace some things here, Tate's Creek and others. And so I just ask the public be patient. We would we'd love to fix them as soon as possible. But we're limited with the resources that we have in terms of getting supplies. And then lastly, one of the things that happened this week that got a lot of press, but not a lot of conversation with us, which is Rubicon Global has announced they're coming to Lexington. And Nate Morris is a friend of mine, and he is the founder and CEO of Rubicon Global, which is a billion-dollar company. And over a year ago, he and I were talking, and I reached out to him and said, hey, will you help us out on thinking about trash and moving some of this stuff differently? And we started that conversation, and he talked about coming to Lexington then. And it's a great thing for us. It's a great thing for us nationally. And proof of this is coming this November 16th and 17th. They're already hosting the first-ever Concordia conference. which will bring experts in recycling and environmentalism and waste management to Lexington, which is great for us. So it's not just an employment issue. It's also a resource issue. They're a strong supporter of UK and smart city initiatives, which I think will be great for us as we move forward, try to make our city as smart as possible and be wise with technology and partnerships. So I'm excited about that. It's a great thing for Lexington and a good thing for economic development. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Baxter. Thank you, Mayor. And I also want to thank Council Member James Brown for attending my public safety meeting on Monday and for making me blush. Thank you. I also wanted to thank Commander Kevin Metcalf and Officer Baj Tauri for coming out to speak that night as well. It was a nice evening and we had some good input from the community. So thank you for all that attended. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Does anyone else have anything for an announcement? I will just reiterate for the public that this is our last meeting via Zoom and the council will come back in person next week with its first meetings on June 15th. So the input from the public will be in person. There will not be virtual input anymore. it will be an in-person meeting totally and so we welcome everybody back to the chamber and we will probably need a little bit of a refresher on granicus and other things we're supposed to do in person but we'll get there i want to thank our clerk coleman tonight for filling in appreciate it is there a motion to adjourn oh i'm sorry council member ellinger you slipped in there oh can you unmute can you can you unmute okay i just want i just want to say i'm going to miss zoom oh should we take a vote to see how many are going to miss zoom okay we won't do that i'll make a motion to adjourn mayor thank you is there a second thank you council member reynolds all right all those in favor of adjourning the zooms raise your hand thank you we are adjourned see you next week thank you mayor Thank you.
