The meeting focused primarily on zoning matters, with the council addressing two zone change requests during the proceedings. Both agenda items were successfully approved by the council, including zone changes for properties on Harrodsburg Road and DeRoode Street. The council conducted a total of 3 votes throughout the meeting and heard 1 public comment from community members. The session demonstrated the council's continued work on land use planning and zoning decisions that affect development within Lexington-Fayette County. ## Attendance **Present:** Sheehan, Worley, Bledsoe, F. Brown, J. Brown, Ellinger, Kloiber, Lamb, McCurn, Moloney, Plomin, Reynolds **Absent:** Baxter, LeGris **Late:** None Twelve members were present for the August 26, 2021 meeting, with two members absent and no late arrivals recorded. ## Votes and Decisions The council conducted three roll call votes on tax-related ordinances during the meeting [timestamp: 06:04]. **Ordinance 0812-21** - An Ordinance levying Ad Valorem Taxes for municipal purposes for the Fiscal Year July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 was motioned by Ms. Bledsoe and seconded by Mr. Worley. The ordinance **passed unanimously** with 13 ayes and 0 nays. All council members voted in favor: Sheehan, Worley, Bledsoe, F. Brown, J. Brown, Ellinger, Kay, Kloiber, Lamb, McCurn, Moloney, Plomin, and Reynolds. **Ordinance 0813-21** - An Ordinance adopting the request of the Lexington-Fayette County Health Dept. and levying a Special Ad Valorem Public Health Tax was motioned by Ms. Lamb and seconded by Ms. Plomin. This ordinance also **passed unanimously** with 13 ayes and 0 nays. The same 13 council members voted in favor: Sheehan, Worley, Bledsoe, F. Brown, J. Brown, Ellinger, Kay, Kloiber, Lamb, McCurn, Moloney, Plomin, and Reynolds. **Ordinance 0815-21** - An Ordinance levying Ad Valorem Taxes for purposes of support of the Agricultural Extension Office was motioned by Ms. Lamb and seconded by Ms. Plomin. This ordinance **passed** with 8 ayes and 5 nays. Council members voting in favor were: Sheehan, J. Brown, Kay, Kloiber, Lamb, Moloney, Plomin, and Reynolds. Council members voting against were: Worley, Bledsoe, F. Brown, Ellinger, and McCurn. All three ordinances related to tax levies for the fiscal year, with the Agricultural Extension Office tax being the only measure that faced opposition from council members. ## Budget and Financial Actions The meeting addressed two significant financial contracts totaling over $17.6 million in expenditures. **Major Infrastructure Contract** The board approved Resolution 0788-21, authorizing a $17,450,000 contract with Judy Construction Co. for the West Hickman Wet Weather Storage Tank Phase 2 project. This substantial infrastructure investment represents the continuation of a multi-phase wet weather management system designed to address stormwater storage capacity in the West Hickman area. **Technology Enhancement Contract** Resolution 0753-21 was approved, establishing a $201,485.50 contract with Thoroughbred Aviation Maintenance for an Augmented Reality Mapping System. This technology acquisition will enhance the organization's mapping and visualization capabilities through advanced AR technology. The combined financial commitments of $17,651,485.50 reflect significant investments in both critical infrastructure development and technological modernization. The West Hickman project represents the larger portion of expenditures, accounting for approximately 98.8% of the total approved spending, while the augmented reality system comprises the remaining 1.2% of the financial commitments. Both contracts were processed through the standard resolution approval process, with formal identification numbers assigned for tracking and administrative purposes. The substantial difference in contract values highlights the organization's dual focus on major capital infrastructure projects alongside targeted technology improvements to support operational efficiency. ## Public Comment During the public comment period, one community member addressed the board regarding local parking concerns. **Robb Hill** spoke about parking issues affecting Main Street Baptist Church [timestamp: 15:00]. Hill expressed concerns about the lack of adequate parking for the church and discussed how ongoing park development in the area could further impact the church's operations. He highlighted the potential challenges that reduced parking availability might create for church members and visitors attending services and events. No other members of the public provided comments during this portion of the meeting. ## Appointments The meeting included two appointments to local boards and organizations. **Sarah Lamere** was appointed to the Board of Architectural Review. The Board of Architectural Review is responsible for reviewing proposed changes to buildings and structures within designated historic districts to ensure they comply with architectural and design standards. **Silas House** was appointed to the Carnegie Center for Literacy. The Carnegie Center for Literacy works to promote literacy and educational opportunities within the community through various programs and initiatives. Both appointments were approved during the meeting, though specific vote counts and discussion details were not provided in the available materials. These appointments help fill important volunteer positions that support the community's historic preservation efforts and educational mission. ## Contested Items The meeting featured one contested item that resulted in a split vote among council members. **Ad Valorem Tax for Agricultural Extension Office** An ordinance regarding ad valorem tax for the Agricultural Extension Office generated significant division among council members. The proposal ultimately passed by a narrow margin of 8-5, highlighting the contentious nature of the issue. The close vote indicates that nearly half of the council members opposed the measure, though the specific details of their objections and the arguments presented by both sides are not available in the meeting records. The narrow passage suggests this was a significant policy decision that divided the governing body along unclear lines. The 8-5 vote represents one of the more divisive decisions made during this meeting, with the slim three-vote margin indicating substantial disagreement about the appropriateness or necessity of the ad valorem tax measure for agricultural extension services. *Note: Specific transcript timestamps and detailed arguments from council members are not available in the provided meeting documentation.* ## Zone Change for Harrodsburg Rd. [timestamp: 06:04] The Council considered Ordinance 0759-21, which proposed changing the zoning classification for properties on Harrodsburg Road from a Restricted Highway Service Business (B-3) zone to a Restricted Highway Service Business (B-3) zone with modified conditional zoning. Vice-Mayor Kay served as the key speaker for this agenda item, presenting the zoning change request to the Council. The ordinance maintained the same underlying B-3 zoning classification but added modified conditional zoning provisions to the properties. The B-3 zone designation allows for restricted highway service businesses, which typically includes commercial uses that serve travelers and the general public along major roadways. The addition of modified conditional zoning would impose specific conditions or restrictions on how the properties can be developed or used, though the specific conditions were not detailed in the available materials. The Council approved Ordinance 0759-21, allowing the zoning change to move forward. The approval enables the properties on Harrodsburg Road to operate under the new B-3 zone with modified conditional zoning requirements, which will govern future development and use of these parcels. This type of conditional zoning modification is commonly used by municipalities to ensure that commercial development along major corridors like Harrodsburg Road meets specific standards or addresses particular community concerns while maintaining the flexibility of commercial zoning. ## Zone Change for DeRoode St. [timestamp: 06:04] The council considered Ordinance 0760-21, which proposed changing the zoning designation for property on DeRoode Street from Townhouse Residential (R-1T) to High Density Apartment (R-4). Vice-Mayor Kay served as the key speaker for this agenda item, presenting the zoning change request to the council for consideration. The ordinance would allow for higher density residential development on the DeRoode Street property by transitioning from a townhouse residential zone, which typically permits moderate-density attached housing units, to a high-density apartment zone that allows for multi-story apartment buildings and increased unit density per acre. The council approved the zoning change ordinance, allowing the property to move forward under the new R-4 High Density Apartment zoning classification. This approval enables future development of the DeRoode Street property consistent with high-density residential standards and requirements. --- ## Decisions - **0812-21** — passed (13-0): An Ordinance levying Ad Valorem Taxes for municipal purposes for the Fiscal Year July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 - **0813-21** — passed (13-0): An Ordinance adopting the request of the Lexington-Fayette County Health Dept. and levying a Special Ad Valorem Public Health Tax - **0815-21** — passed (8-5): An Ordinance levying Ad Valorem Taxes for purposes of support of the Agricultural Extension Office --- ## Full transcript I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee, yeah You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you When I hear you went up to Sanatoga And your heart's naturally won Then you blew your rear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun When you're where you should be all the time And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy Or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend And you're so vain You probably think the song is about you You're so vain So vain!

Council members, if you have some announcements to make, please sign in. Council Member Lamb. Thank you Vice Mayor. I just wanted to remind all my colleagues of next Thursday night's special council meeting for a public hearing on a zone change and it's Thursday night at 5pm. I know that I just want to make sure that everybody's thinking about it and so it's been a while since we've had another one like this so that's what I have to say. Thank you so much. Council Member Lamb, have you checked on numbers in the recent past? It's probably been a while. It might be good to do a hand check if you don't mind. I'd be happy to do that. Are there any council members who will not be able to be at the zone change hearing next Thursday? I see one, two, and there are two. The same. Yeah, so even if both council members were not here, could not attend, we still have enough, so thank you. Council member Plowman. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just wanted to bring to your attention that tomorrow is the last day for Penny Ebel, who's been in our Parks and Recreation Department for years. And Penny and I went to a college together, and we knew each other and worked on a lot of projects. And so wish her well, and she's done an unbelievable job over the years. And tomorrow between 2 and 4, there will be a celebration, and that's going to be at McConnell Springs. And again, that's 2 to 4, we're going to celebrate Penny and all she's done for us. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you. I see no one else signed up for announcements. If I could have the sheet with the people who've signed up for public comment, we'll move to that item on the agenda. thank you the first person on the agenda on the sign-up sheet is mr. Paul price I'm sorry to whom thank you Kristen Gordon Thank you. Leonard Redwood. I allocate my time to Ralph Hill. Thank you. Leonard Ridgeway. I do my time to Ralph Hill. Thank you. Mr. Hill, I think that gives you 15 minutes. Welcome. And I think you'll know if you'd give your name and council district, and we'll start a 15-minute clock. Ralphie Hill Esquire Council District 4 and the church is in 3 Honorable Council Members it's a pleasure to address you this evening I'm here on a grave matter and if at times I get a little worked up or excited is because, as most people would in defending their family, they would be bothered by some of the things that the church has been forced to go through in dealing with this matter with the park. Main Street Baptist Church is not here of its own accord. We did not ask to be here at this point. We, in good faith, enter into agreement with the city, with Mayor Basler where we forewent collecting, actually pursuing the Van Duren building and the railroad tracks that were behind our church. We forewent actually pursuing that. And in return, what we got was a promise that we would have parking as much as we needed in the Cox Street lot behind the church. Mayor Basler confirmed this with Mayor Gordon this year, this spring in a face-to-face meeting. Over the years, if you look at the parking directly behind the church, it diminished to the point to where we were pushed to the margins. And what started out as parking at your will turned out to be parking at the pleasure of LCC. We've been treated with a type of disdain that when I grew up in the 60s, I remember seeing. As a matter of fact, the first meeting that we had with the park board, when they came to our chapel, they came in and said, Look, we're here to tell you what we're going to do. We don't want any input put from you on that. And that's been the case since that time, up to this very day. Our meeting started with Newberry, the Gray administration, and through the Gordon administration up to this point. we have given numerous presentations before the council, the mayor, staff, the chair of the park, and directors of the park. Despite the church's great need for parking, for its very survival, and we have told them this, no one will know what it takes for us to survive more than us. despite us telling them over and over again what it would take for us to survive the city basically took and gave all of the available land up over to the park to an entity that has been at best apathetic towards the church we have tried meeting with them, try to be engaged in their planning processes to no avail. Since we first heard about the demolition of the Jefferson Street Bridge, we have asked for it. We've asked for it because we need it, on-demand parking for funerals and emergencies. Mayor Gordon in a meeting in her office in May said that well the remnant is actually a right of way and no one can have it. Yet there is president here in the Fayette County area where that very thing has happened. Then she said well it's the entryway to the park. And one must ask why? Why press an entryway with a road on it down between our two buildings after we had told them that we use both those buildings, that we have children, elderly, and handicapped moving between those buildings, between Sunday school and regular church. Placing that entryway shows a type of greed that's just unbelievable. There are two entryways right there already. The Lincoln Trail, which is a fine entryway, and Tucker Street is right there. Why would they need three entryways within 50 yards of each other? One must ask, why is this being pressed against the desperate needs of a church just trying to survive? Is the park more important than the church and the people in it? One would think that in the consideration of where property would go, that we would at least have been asked or given right of first refusal when the railroad took the tracks up from behind the church, that we would have been given first refusal on that. And since we weren't given first refusal, one would think that in exchange for that, that we would have gotten the remnant. Why is this being pressed between our properties? Why is this happening? Park designers have also showed renditions of their design that shows a grand entry off of Manchester Street. So if you look at, I'm going to advance the slides here. If you look here, one of the problems we have has been great apathy towards the church and the things that we are telling them that are choking the life out of our church. They have very carefully put up signs beside the parking lot to show that these kind of signs, to show the design of their park. And yet the church has been very carefully airbrushed out of all these pictures, which shows that their lack of attention or care for the church. On March the 29th, with no collaboration from us after we had asked for it, they presented a design of the park where the remnant was actually offered to us, the same remnant that they said we could not have. But we had to give up to get the remnant, our chapel, which is our most valuable real estate asset. And when we turned that down, they came back with another rendition. This was presented to us in the mayor's office on May the 25th. Prior to seeing this, we had met with them, with the executive director and two of the mayor's staff at the church. I presented to them. In that presentation, I suggested that they considered the Lincoln Trail. trail and they said well in this meeting on the 25th they said well the Lincoln trail cannot be made safe and yet in this drawing that you see here they have looped a road around our church after we told them ahead of time that that our children elderly and handicapped move between those buildings in their early presentations, the one on the bottom there is where they presented, said we must have an entryway off of Main Street. And yet in their presentation, they never showed the top, which is Lincoln Trail. This is the Lincoln Trail. And it is a grand entryway. Not only that, the sidewalk that's there now is probably about 20 feet wide. Can be made an additional 15 feet wide. How much do you need, particularly given that Tucker Street is right next to it? How many entryways does one park need within 50 yards of each other? This is a view from Main Street. You can see on a good day from the sidewalk all the way back to Manchester Street. Looking back up through the park, the same thing. You can see First Baptist Church. And yet this is the entryway that they said was inadequate, could not be made safe. Safe for who? What about our people? What about the road that they decided to loop around our building with children and elderly and handicapped coming in and out of the building? we request that you use the same power that was used to put us at this great disadvantage on this road to demise what's happening to our church and we can see it no one knows better than us we've been there, we've seen the things that are happening as a result of the uncertainty use that same power that's been used to create this problem to fix it Issue an EDEC to LCC. After all, they work for you to give us 250 guaranteed spaces on Sunday morning. Tell the park that the remnant is off the table for them and that they should use the Lincoln Trail entryway. Dedicate the remnant to Main Street Church to replace the land that was taken from us by any domain that should have been offered as first refusal to us when the tracts were taken up. I dare say if you were to take and measure that land, it would be about the same, about a quarter of an acre that was taken. In the mayor's equity report, we are prominently portrayed in that. And yet, one must ask the question, why have these steps been taken? Why have our pleas been ignored? We've met over and over again with the mayor, with the park people. People have basically just ignored what we've asked for, telling them what you're doing is choking the life out of this church over and over again. They basically just ignored it. They've come back with the same proposal that we got five years ago, just dressed a little differently. you can't valet park in a traffic jam and you can't ask people to stay at church from 9 in the morning to 8 at night nonstop equity means fairness and justice please, please tell me what is equitable about allowing this church to go into oblivion that's what's going to happen oblivion for a park who already has two entryways in the same place that they said they wanted one a park that where dogs were given greater consideration than the people of Main Street Baptist Church what would be equitable about allowing the pattern of merely kicking the can down the road by all these people we've been dealing with and not solving one single thing not addressing the problem. This problem will be very easy to fix. Just step up and do what's right. Barnum King said, the time is always right to do what's right. Use the same laws and the same power that this body has to fix the problem and stop kicking the can down the road because time is running out. Thank you. Thank you. Next I have, is it, I can't, I'm sorry, Ardell Foe? Nobody here? And Delphine Ridgeway? Not wishing to speak. Is there anybody else who wished to speak at this time on public comment? Seeing none, thank you for being here with us. I believe that would bring us to a motion for adjournment. Second. I have a motion and a second without objection. We stand adjourned. Thank you.
