So moved. The motion is to add a presentation, which would normally come after the minutes, to honor Don Pratt. Is there a second? Second. Council Member Lamb seconds. Are there any questions? Okay, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right. Thank you. That motion passes. Now, at this time, I'd like to welcome Pastor Brian Bolton, pastor of the Centerpoint Christian Church, and he's going to offer our invocation tonight. I am grateful for this opportunity to open this council meeting with prayer. On behalf of Centerpoint Christian Church, I come with blessings to you and all to our community as well. Thank you, Councilman McCurron, for this invite tonight. Let's pray together. Great and mighty God, we gather today, and I want to start with a thank you on behalf of all those who gather here today. Thank you, Father, for your many abundant blessings. We thank you for life itself. We thank you for the good health to be here this evening to fulfill the calling and the service of our community. Father, we thank you for the ability to be involved with this invaluable work and the honor of bearing appropriate responsibilities, and we don't take these responsibilities lightly. We thank you, Father, for loving us even when we may not feel lovable. We thank you for loving us when we try our best and when our best might not be good enough for those who we serve. In the scriptures, Lord, it says that you have said that citizens ought to obey the governing authorities since you have established those very authorities to promote peace and order and justice. So, God, we pray a prayer of blessing over Mayor Gorton. We pray and ask that you would bless the various levels of our city officials and particularly bless this assembled council. I am asking, Father, that you would grant them wisdom to govern amid this conflicting interest and issues of times that are difficult right now in our country. We ask for a sense of welfare and true needs of our people. We ask, Lord, you give them a keen thirst for justice and rightness. We ask, Lord, you give our governing officials here tonight confidence in what is good and what is fitting. We ask you give them the ability to work together in harmony, even when there is honest disagreement. And God, we ask for personal peace in their lives and joy in their task of serving our city. I pray for the agenda that is set before us today. Would you please give assurance of what would please you and what would benefit those who live and work in and around this great city of Lexington. God, we ask all these things in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you very much, Pastor Bolton. Appreciate it. Next are the minutes of October 14th. Do I hear a motion to approve? So moved. Thank you, Council Member Plowman. Second was Councilmember Baxter. Are there any questions? All right. All those in favor, please say aye. Is anyone opposed? All right. That motion passes. Thank you very much. And now we'll have our presentation. Hey, Don. Don. You actually want to do this. Shame on you. Join us. Many people in Lexington know the name Don Pratt. He has been in the news for many years and has frequently offered input at council meetings. I think that's true, isn't it? Don't lie. He's also been a candidate for public office. What you may not know about Don is that he is an incredible foster parent and volunteer. And for years, he has been running a very special program that we are talking about tonight. And so first, it is my pleasure to present a proclamation. And Don, if you would come stand beside me, please. So, whereas Don Pratt has been a single foster dad for over 30 years, caring for more than 65 children, and whereas after seeing foster children come into his home with their belongings stuffed into garbage bags, Don began collecting donated suitcases, duffel bags, and backpacks to give to foster children, children caught in floods or tornadoes and others. And whereas over more than 20 years, Don has donated thousands of pieces of donated luggage to children across Kentucky, giving them a sense of self-confidence and dignity, Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare October 28, 2021, Don Pratt Day in Lexington. Congratulations. Surprise. Do you want to say a few words? You go first. You go first. Let me go first? Go ahead. You hold down. We'll get to him. I do not. Can I put this on? Yes, you may take. Hi, you have to look at me. Jeez, and then I have hearing aids now only be able to hear myself. I first hope I can get this without crying. I knew kids were abused and neglected. And in these days and times because of this pandemic, There needs to be much more attention addressing this issue, as there are many more abused kids coming into the system, and some that don't make it because of the issues of not going to school. But I also have to acknowledge all the people that donated over the years. I mean, thousands of pieces have come in to me, and I have delivered them all over the state of Kentucky, from the far west Mississippi to the far east in Inez, Kentucky, or I think that's the furthest east I've been. Oh, Ashland, maybe. Well, at any rate, I'm not good at geography. And I have to thank the media, which has been very helpful in broadcasting this in order for people to know to give me this luggage, which I get credit for delivering, but I know it came from other people. And I'm thankful for an award and recognition, primarily because I hope it gets this expanded so other people know that they can give and they can do things besides what I'm doing for other people and doing it in a time like this. I also know that I have collected backpacks and even now have a huge quantity of duffel bags to give to schools or to agencies that would use them, and hopefully that will be soon. But this is the kind of thing I have to thank others for, not just myself, getting credit. And the most important thing that I feel like is that this project that I've been doing for 20 years goes beyond the borders of Kentucky. because I don't think and I'm pretty sure that it's not done by anyone else across the country and it should be in every state and in every major city so that kids don't have to move in garbage bags. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. Yeah, I got to know Don a different way than most of my colleagues. Last time I saw him, he was wearing floppers coming in here with a goggle, and I got to listen to his concerns about water. But today I'm honored to follow him. I've been following him for 20 years. My wife, as you all know, was in the business of airlines. She always got suitcases, and she heard about this program, and we started donating all of our suitcases to Don and I really do appreciate what you've done for the foster kids and thank you again, Don. Don wants to say one more thing and then we'll get a photo. You all, I think, helped finance the program that Richard found out about what I was doing and decided to do this. And that was a GAP conference. Christy Stenbaugh is primarily responsible, or one of the major sources of that organization. And this past week, for the benefit of Kathy Witt and others, we had one of the most important men in the nation in terms of gun violence and gun violence in school, which is escalating now, not necessarily in schools, but in homes and other places, particularly with suicide. And Richard and I were able to do an afternoon session, though I was there to hear Malcolm Smith that morning. I hope that you all can go to and listen and watch a video of Malcolm Smith that is at the 4-H office, I'm pretty sure. But Malcolm Smith talks about gun violence, which we need to acknowledge. and of course I have strong opinions about. Thank you. Don, thank you so much for all that you do for young people. We really appreciate it and let's get a photo with the council. And remember, at the day, it was one of the best options for that campaign financing that was ever in the early years. And I never spent money on it. Not all of us are out there. Oh, here. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Okay, thank you very much. Now, when you're ready, I'll ask our clerk to go ahead and give second reading to ordinances. Yes, ma'am.

Next is Hamilton Cole. and just for everybody's information please come to the podium if you'll state your name and your council district and you'll have three minutes welcome my name is hamilton cole i live at 373 larkwood drive lexington kentucky i don't know my district that's okay um first i want to say good evening to the mayor and to the vice mayor and to the Council. I was at home today and I was listening to you all and at the meeting and it was said that the people that retired wouldn't probably get what was coming to the other people and I wanted to know why the reason I wouldn't get it because I retired this month, actually. It hasn't even been a full month that I had to retire because I have glaucoma and sugar in my eyes. But I did work the pandemic. COVID, I worked all that. So I just wanted to know why I wouldn't be able to get it if I worked it. I know if you say you open up a door for the other people that retired, but I thought this was people that were getting money that actually worked the pandemic, and I did work it. So I just want you all to consider that for me. That's all. Thank you. Thank you very much. Scooter Stein. Welcome. Thank you, Mayor. Good evening. Thank you for having me. Thank you, Council Members. I'm here tonight in my professional capacity again with the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff. I would like to cede the balance of my time to Sheriff Kathy Witt, who is also scheduled. Okay, so you have three minutes, Scooter, so we'll give Sheriff Witt six minutes. Sheriff Witt, welcome. Thank you, Mayor Gordon, Vice Mayor Kay, members of the Council. I appreciate coming to you tonight to continue a brief conversation that our Director of Public Affairs, Scooter Stein, had earlier this week. I'm coming to you to ask a reasonable ask, a just ask, to acknowledge and allow the men and women, the brave, courageous men and women of the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff, to be approved for premium ARPO pay, just like the Lexington Division of Police. I know that each one of you received an email from me this week outlining briefly, not in totality, briefly, the services that we provided in addition to our regular duties during the pandemic. I have reviewed the definition of the Department of Treasury, and I have submitted forms for 50 individuals that meet that definition. I would like those forms to be reviewed and to be considered. I know that earlier today it was mentioned, and I paraphrase this because I was not here. I'm in service training this week, that maybe the sheriff's office was a state matter. We're a county government agency. We're the Fayette County Sheriff's Office. In Section 99 of the Constitution, it talks about electing sheriffs in every county. We are not a state agency. We are not part of the ARPA money that is being considered at the state level. I have confirmed with the Department of Local Government that the money that the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County community received, we are eligible to be considered for that money, too. I know that it is in your hands and in your discretion. But the men and women of the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff deserve to be acknowledged and treated like the brave men and women of the Lexington Police Department. To further my discussion about being a county government agency, all of our employees, both sworn and non-sworn, are in CERS retirement, County Employee Retirement System, just like the civilian employees of the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government. You may not know, but at the end of my term, every four years, any fees that I have earned to fund the office of sheriff, because you do not fund me, I have to return to you, or I have to turn over to you. I don't return them because you didn't have them to begin with. I turn over my excess fees to you. Every quarter, 25% of the fees that I earn to fund our office are given to you. I have further confirmed with the Department of Local Government that this money, we should be considered for this money as well. I have submitted the names of 50 individuals. If you're looking at premium pay at $5,000, it's a mere $250,000 of your total $120 million. I have had discussions with the administration about this. I feel like we've had positive discussions, but I personally am bringing it before you today. because I stand in support of the work that they do every single day. Just yesterday, we transported a fugitive from justice back from Florida who was charged with a very violent offense. We took them to our jail and lodged them. Later that night, our jail notified us that that inmate had tested COVID. So we continue to be exposed on a daily basis to COVID issues. So I would ask again that you give us consideration. Earlier in the year when you received CARES funding, I called the Department of Local Government to ask if the Fayette County Sheriff's Office would be eligible for payroll reimbursement under the CARES Act. I was told we were eligible. We did not receive any CARES money. There wasn't even a discussion before council on that. So again tonight, I'm just asking for something that is just, that's fair, and that's right. For the men and women first responders of your sheriff's office, our community sheriff's office, who work day in and day out, hand in hand, with our partners in blue, the brave men and women of the Lexington Police Department. Thank you, Sheriff. Thank you. Next is Dionne Henry. And Dionne, I believe, is Seanetta here? Did you want to give your three minutes to Dionne? Yes. Okay, so you'll have six minutes. Thank you, Mayor. You're welcome. Dionne Henry, Preston-Worley's division. First of all, I'd like to have all my sanitation workers stand up. that came out here tonight and earlier today that I went home. Earlier this month, I got word from the counseling from the, y'all can sit back down. I got word from the counseling from the, I forgot what Sally Hamlin is going to call, our administration office that y'all was thinking about lowering our increase to 2%. And the reason why I had these people to stand, because you think these brave men and women of sanitation only deserve a 2% or 3% increase. Do y'all really believe that? We started going through this journey in 2019, like I said last time. We started fighting this COVID thing in 2020. There was no COVID shots. There was no mask. There was nothing. And we stood with y'all through every single thing. And tonight we just got granted 3% when the whole time we'd been thinking it was 6%. Okay, y'all gave us 3% along with others. Y'all also have included others with us that didn't do that with Lily at home and we was out in the garbage working. I say this, we're here tonight. Y'all heard the news stories and everything. You know, and I appreciate what Miss Sally has tried to do and I appreciate her standing up here today and fighting for everything. But like I said, there is something that is missing when it comes to waste management. I even watched some of y'all talk and y'all act like y'all even scared to mention waste managers. There's a few of you that will say it while you're talking, but y'all say public safety or somebody beat around the bush and the rest of the employees. We've been here day in and day out, week in and week out, telling y'all what we want. We've talked to our citizens. The citizens want us to get what we ask for. Okay, once again, the Harper pays $13 an hour for 12 months, and if you made over $200,000, there's a $5,000 cap. If you make under $200,000, there's a $25,000 payout. There's no secret about that. And y'all just agreed on 5,000, us along with, you know, police got police and bar get it. We got, I mean, at least y'all trying to keep us there. But there came a time saying this to you all that y'all just granted us 3%. My whole division was looking for a 6% increase on top of what we got this year. I talked to you about it, man. I talked to Ms. Sally Hamilton about it. We was really expecting that. because still, if you go out in the public today, they're making $25 to $30 an hour to pick up trash. Y'all bought some of my guys up from $18 an hour to about $19 and some change. So we took $6 short, and I talked to press and everybody about this. And these guys got to be up at 2 o'clock in the morning, supposedly, to go pick up the trash.

The morale over there, you might as well say it's like jumping off a cliff. It's on the downfall, tremendous. I mean, I come to the job to do my job the best of my ability to clean up the city for everybody. People passing through, people coming to Kingland, we want it to look good. But then when it comes time to give back to the people that worked through this pandemic, we're going to get offered $5,000. The federal government at the start of this said that anybody that works through the pandemic ought to be entitled to $13 extra an hour for a year. That comes up $27,000. Granted, I'm not asking for that much. I just think fair is fair. I mean, all these bike trails we're doing, are they more important in my life, my fellow employees' life? No, I tell you, it ain't. And as far as first responders, we're not considered first responders, but we're out there picking up everybody's clean necks, their cleaning rags, their everything. That everybody's been sick on. we're exposed to more of it than the doctors and nurses because there's hospitals spread out throughout the whole city. But everything that's picked up, we do it. When we go to dump our trucks, we got to go in there, clean the trucks out. So we're pulling that junk right into our faces. Then we're down there walking through maggots. I wish every one of y'all would come ride with me one day. Just see what it's like. My whole life's at Jeopardy, and my grand man, he's here too. I've got a responsibility of a man on my truck every day that I've got to take responsibility for his life. I do Cooper Drive. There's going to be an accident over there. I've reported it and everything else. I'm getting passed on double yellow line. That's against the law. So not only did I work through the COVID, I didn't go to Walmart, go shopping, all that. I stayed at home. But I caught COVID. Guess where I caught it from? Work. I mean, we're exposed to it more than doctors, nurses, police, fire. We're exposed to everybody, not just the sick ones at St. Joe. We're not just Central Baptist. We're exposed to everybody. It ain't just one. It's all. So I just want to get a point across. Thank you very much. Javier, are you still here? Welcome. How you doing? I'm just coming real quick. You say your name for the record. Javier Perez. Thank you. Everybody knows me because I'm coming here every year. So, it's the same. I'm coming in the same. I wanted exactly one person going with us. It's Miss Susan Lamb. I wanted she go with me one day and you go right with me and you check how much cost my job. Exactly with you. It's nothing personal, but I should want it. You're right with me one morning, just wake up, three o'clock in the morning, and you ride with me my route, and you tell me how much cost my job. That's it. Because every time we come in here for something for waste management, no, we have to get a study for that. Now for $1 increase on the CDL, we have three years fighting for that. But we respect on police and fire department, just talking one day and everything coming quick. And why for us every time have to get studied? Because we pick it up trash? No, because we got people in the house department, I guarantee you, got studies too. Got college too. We're not ignorant. Because we're driving one garbage truck, we're not ignorant. I'm not from United States, I'm from Puerto Rico. And you know what? I don't feel like this is my place, Lexington. But you know what? when everybody coming outside, when you got busy for your family or friends or whatever tell you, oh, what clean is Lexington? And who do it? Us, my people you see over there? Us. Nobody else. Because private company, he don't care. He just get the money and go home. Who got one truck 24 hours? Us. Who pick it up downtown every day? Us. Right now, when everybody goes to sleep, we've got one truck, one o'clock in the morning, starting picking up the whole downtown. And everybody can come in and say, wow, good job, Major. You got your city clean. So, why every time we need some? Because we're not coming here. We don't have to cry what we do. We don't have to cry that. I mean, I'm tired of coming every year here. And then when elections coming, I'll see everybody go to Austin Division. Oh, this is going to change this year. This is going to change this year. And never go change. It's every time the same thing. When elections coming, okay, we got everybody on base. Yeah, we go change. No. It's every time the same and the same and the same. It's over. Thank you for nothing. Thank you. Who next is, let's see. Do we have another Dion who wishes to speak? Is your name Dion? Pardon me? Not yet. You're on here, but not yet. Dion Herm. I'm so sorry. Okay, Brittany Price, you're next. Welcome. My name is Brittany Christina Price. I live at 335 Rimmel Road. I served in the United States Navy and currently at this time, I'm a volunteer at Lexington Medical Center Cooper Drive. And every Friday, I help veterans get to where they need to go for their appointments. Also, I help veterans to have serious injuries. And I like being a veteran volunteer. Also, let us thank our men and women of the armed forces and veterans who are keeping peace throughout the United States of America, including law enforcement agencies and police officers and the Sheriff's Department for the wonderful work they do. And basically to thank our military men and women who are keeping peace and freedom throughout this United States of America. Thank you Mayor, thank you Vice Mayor, and thank you City Council for allowing me to speak. Thank you very much, Bernard McCarthy. Welcome. My name is Bernard McCarthy. I live at 515 Harry Street, which is in the 1st District, and I think still will be after your redistricting. I want to point out I think it's rather ironic that you guys are adopting transportation planning policies geared toward nudging people out of their own private cars toward other modes at precisely the time when age and arthritis are forcing me to depend more on driving for my own errands. Now, I did catch one break. An individual for whom I used to do a whole lot of errands moved three states away. So she's out of the picture. So now I'm only having to take care of me. But still, I used to be able to walk from my house to this building in 15 minutes. Now I don't think I could walk that far if I had all day. Just consider that when you try to make people give up cars and ride buses or walk or whatever. And while I didn't catch COVID, that individual who used to dump a lot of errands on me has had it twice down where she moved to. Thank you. Is there anyone who did not have an opportunity to sign up who wishes to speak? No? All right. We have finished our list then. And so now I will ask the council if you have any motions to suspend the rules and give second reading to ordinances. If you'll log in, please. Council Member Baxter. Thank you, Mayor. I'd like to suspend the rules and give second reading to ordinance number five. It has to do with extending the restaurant, bar, and retail business uses through the end of the year. It's set to expire at the end of this month, so I'd like to have second reading. So moved. Second. Council Member Sheehan seconded. Any questions? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right. Thank you. Are there others? Vice Mayor Kay? Thank you, Mayor. I move to suspend the rules and give second reading to ordinance numbers 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. I believe that covers the eight that were put forward. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. Council Member Plowman seconds. Is there any discussion? Mayor. Council Member Maloney? I appreciate what you all have done I said it earlier today now in light of what the sheriff had just said I have a concern about that because I understand how the counties work county judges and all that they take this money when we merged she was on the wrong end but she is part of this county and in light of that information I have serious concern not counting her into this pay and also I want to appreciate what you all have done and all that, but it does concern me that these are the kind of things that we have not looked at all. And I'm afraid that we're leaving the sheriff out like this. She's part of the city, and she's been a big help to this city, especially when we volunteer to do the funeral. And as she told you, the state is not doing anything about it because when we merged, we didn't have no county judges that were, and the only county judge we have is Mr. Blevins, Don Blevins, who only does get money for the roads, for the county roads. I do have a serious concern about leaving her out, so I'd like to know what my other colleagues say or what do y'all think. Thank you. Thank you. The motion on the floor is to give second reading to these, and Council Member Bledsoe's up next. Thank you, Mayor. I'd kind of like to address what Councilman Maloney said in this respect. I did not receive the email. It went to a junk email. So the email that was sent to council, I didn't see it. So I Googled my email and it was sent to junk. So I apologize. I'm guessing that happened to not just me. Maybe you all saw your junk email. I did not. So in light of what you've said, and I think given the conversation that we've had earlier with our state body about maybe, The question was, does this count or not? And we really weren't sure. And so giving some new guidance, I think it does make sense for us to reconsider that. But we don't have those numbers. So what I would suggest, if it's open to council, is that the next meeting is next week on ARPA. And to have the specific figures on fringe and benefits and all those things for us. The motion tonight to do all this would not preclude us from still doing other motions next week on this. So I think it's something we definitely need to consider. That wasn't part of our conversation earlier. So I would just say, given that we have that opportunity to still do this next time, I would be supporting of doing it tonight and then bringing that specific issue back for the next ARPA meeting. That's just my commentary. Thank you. Council Member Worley. Thank you, Mayor. And thank you, Council Member Bledsoe, for that suggestion. I feel the same. I brought up the issue when we were discussing the ARPA. I brought this issue up earlier this afternoon about the Sheriff's Office specifically. And I think since that meeting, we've learned that some of the assumptions we may have had about the opportunities for the sheriff's office to be funded may not even be available. And I think we heard that the fiscal courts were to take care of the sheriff's offices. And while we don't have a fiscal court here in Fayette County, we are, for all intents and purposes, that fiscal court. So I think our administrative officer and all of her team have done such a great job with what has been proposed to us today. I am ready to move forward on that but I agree with Council Member Bledsoe that the issue of the those who may be eligible from the Sheriff's Office we should we should bring that back up but I think today I'm comfortable giving second reading to what we've done for direct LFUCG employees. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you Mayor. I know Sally is not in the room I don't know if there's anyone that could answer this question for me if we waited to do the second reading in due process without doing it tonight, would our workers be able to get their bonuses by, I think it was December 17th? Does anybody? Commissioner Hensley. We're on a pretty tight schedule. So ideally, if it were to receive second reading tonight, That would give us the most amount of time to be able to test and check and make sure everything's okay. We probably could squeeze it in, but ideally, second rating would be ideal today. Okay, I just wanted to express my concern after hearing comments and just kind of getting this through super quickly today. I would prefer to wait if it were possible, so thank you. Thank you. Vice Mayor Kay. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to kind of follow up and emphasize what's already been said by Councilmember Bledsoe and Worley. Moving these items forward tonight simply expedites them. It does not preclude any additional requests for us to consider. We've heard from the Sheriff's Office. We've heard from Waste Management. We are still, I want to characterize this correctly, let's just say that we are still working on making decisions about ARPA money. And so, as we have emphasized before in talking about where we are in the process, nothing is off the table until we have made all of our decisions. So I would urge my colleagues to move this forward tonight so that our workers can begin to anticipate that they will get their funds in time. And if you have other issues to raise, that they be raised when we continue the ARPA discussion. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. Does anyone else wish to speak to the motion, which is to give second reading? No? Okay. All those in favor of giving second reading to number 5, number 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, say aye. Aye. Is there anyone opposed? All right, that motion passes. So when you're ready, I'll ask our clerk to go ahead and give those second reading. Yes, ma'am. Ordinance number five.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Are there any motions to suspend the rules and give second reading? If you have one, please log in. Let's take walk-ons first. Are there any walk-ons? I don't think there are, are they? Okay, all right. Councilmember McCurne. Thank you, Mayor. On behalf of the administration, I have three items that are major upgrades for the MRF. That in order to have our scheduled maintenance to begin December of this year, we need to move forward with these projects. So I move to suspend the rules and get a second reading to item number 22, number 25, and 44. So move. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. Council Member Plowman, numbers 22, 25, and 44. Are there any questions? About the motion. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? All right. Thank you. Council Member Fred Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I'd like to spend the rules on number 58 to vote on that resolution. Is there a second? Second. Council Member Ellinger, I think I heard you first. All right. Is there any discussion? and we'll need to do discussion by hand if there is any. Vice Mayor Kay. Thank you, Mayor. And I appreciate the interest in kind of bringing a conclusion to this whole process, which has taken a couple of years. But I'm concerned that there may be a perception that we're trying to preclude public comment on this. There's nobody here tonight for it. There may not be anybody here in two weeks. I just don't like the perception that we're trying to preclude public comment on something that's as important as this agreement. And so I would vote no. Thank you. Thank you. Does anyone else wish to comment? Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. And I agree with some of the comments Vice Mayor Kaye said. I've looked at the summary of the agreement and some of the changes made. I think they're good and positive and plan to support the agreement, but I don't want to set any perception that we are rushing this. I think we have set a precedent to let certain important things that the community has shared with us that are important run the course and not suspend the rules and give two readings, and I think this is one we should consider to do the same with as well. So I won't support giving the two readings tonight, but I do plan to support the agreement. Thank you. Thank you. Does anyone else wish to speak to the motion? Raise your hand if you do. No? All right. All those in favor of suspending the rules, which does take a 10-member vote. 10 have to vote for it. Please say aye. Aye.

Next is communications from the mayor for information only. and there are no fire or police disciplines tonight, and so now it's time for announcements. Vice Mayor Kaye. Thank you, Mayor. Since the redistricting committee has completed its work, I propose, council members, for you to consider the following, which I sent in an email earlier today. First, that we have a council workshop which will allow them to present the results of their work and the rationale. I'm sorry, but... I don't think it's a topic that's choking me up, but you never know. So anyway, to allow them to give a presentation and a rationale for their conclusions and an opportunity for council to have a discussion of what they are presenting. And then later that day at the council meeting, entertain a motion to place the item on the docket for the November 18th council meeting for first reading. And then to have a second reading of that same ordinance on December 2nd. So if people have questions, concerns, comments, does this seem like a reasonable way to proceed? If you have concerns, now would be the time to raise them. Yeah, November 4th, Thursday, November 4th, to have a council workshop. And then at 1.30 Thursday, I see a lot of heads shaking no. Later in the day, suggestion for other time. We have a 4 o'clock cow on ARPA, which is why I suggested that time. So just to back up half a step, there's been an interest to get this done as soon as possible so that people will know what district they will be residing in when the next election occurs. But if that time does not work for people, I guess I'll back up and try and find a different time. It also, we get into scheduling the two readings and we're getting close to break. Do you want to take a vote and see how many people can be here or do you know how many people can be here? I guess I'm concerned that we would like to have all council members be present. And I believe that some of the people who have some questions won't be able to be present. Can you send out a poll tomorrow? I'll have to. Okay. Perhaps. Yeah. Okay. I just, yeah, I'll do that. And just everybody needs to recognize that that will probably delay final decision on the redistricting for, hopefully we can get it done before the break. But it looks like we'll get into December. But I'll send out a set of options and see if we can get a time when everybody can be present. Maybe the threshold question is this. I'm assuming that people are interested in having a workshop and having a presentation. Okay, so we'll find a time. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. All right, Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. Let me bring up what I had. Here we go. I am really excited that on Monday from 630 to 9 in Valley Park, we're going to have a special Dia de los Muertos, which is a Day of the Dead festival. This spirit of event will honor the traditional Mexican holiday of remembering loved ones who've passed and will feature food trucks inspired by performances featuring Casa de Cultura, Tradiciones de mi Tierra, and Mariachi Azteca. In addition, all are invited to bring mementos or offerings for a community of Frenda, which is a decorated altar of remembrance for those who have passed on. And the emphasis will be on those lost from COVID-19. And it will be free. I think there should be some food as well. And this is sponsored by Parks and Rec. And I'm really excited about this in my district. So I hope everybody will come out and join us. Thank you. Thank you. Does anyone else have an announcement to make? No? All right. We have already had public comments, so I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Thank you, Council Member Bledsoe and Council Member Baxter. All those in favor, say aye. Thank you. We are adjourned. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
