Now, at this time, we have lots of really fun, exciting recognitions, so I'll make my way to the podium. All right. All right. So, we have a full house, don't we? so council member bledsoe has brought us two sets of champions tonight and at the khsaa state cross-country championships in october two girls high school cross-country teams came away with state championships in their divisions so don't try to outrun any of these girls We have Lexington Christian Academy in Class 1A and Lexington Catholic High School in Class 2A. Rain on Friday and Saturday made for muddy runs for these girls. They didn't let that stop them. LCA, despite losing their top three runners from last season, came together and won the title after their coach advised bucking their usual slow and steady strategy for a faster start. It paid off, and the Eagles brought home their first ever state title. Now, Lexington Catholic brought home the Class 2A title with a dominant 77 points in the meet. That was nearly half of the total of the second-place finishing team. Caroline Biding was the first night to finish and finished second overall individually at the meet. So I want to honor both of these teams. And first, I would like to read a proclamation. And maybe the Lexington Catholic girls, can you kind of come up and surround us a little? How about, sure. We're going to look at them. I'm very proud to say my next door neighbor is a member of this team. Are we all here? Yes, ma'am. All right. Okay. Lexington Catholic Girls Class AA Cross Country State Champs. Whereas the Lexington Catholic Girls Team has won the KHSAA 2021 State Championship in Class AA Cross Country.

Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 2021, Lexington Catholic Girls Cross Country Class AA State Champions Month. Congratulations. Now, who would like this? All right. Now, Coach, would you like to speak? I didn't know I meant to. I mean, you don't have to, but we would love it if you said a few words. I'm so proud of our team. We actually started the season with very heavy hearts. we lost two of the boys on our track team, Dominic Bellotta and David Savoni. And our team gave us a very difficult start to the season, but we honored them in every meet that we went to, and we feel like they were with us the day of the meet. So I'm super proud of our team. We barely made it to the state meet last year. We were fourth in our region, and we were 12th in state. And this year we won by almost double points. So I'm super proud of these girls. They go up and round their hearts out, and they're the best ever. Councilmember Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. So I'll speak to both girls' teams from LCA and Lexington Catholic. Girls who run win, and girls who run persevere. I'll tell you what, when you're running in the rain and the mud, I've done that. It is not fun. So they not only won well, they fought really hard. So congratulations to all of you all. It's awesome. I'm so proud of you. And then to all the parents in the room, we're so thankful for you. Parents make it work. You take them to practice. You pick them up. You drive everywhere around the state to practice, to compete. We're so thankful for your dedication, your investment in these girls is going to pay off for a long, long time. So thank you for that. Should we get a picture? Congratulations. Let's get a picture with the council. We'll go right up there. Thank you. Thank you all so much. And so now we get to honor another girls cross country team. And you just heard me speak to that. And so is Coach Stickle here? And would the LCA runners come up?

This is quite an exciting evening, and tonight we are also honoring the memory of George F. Robby, the first Commissioner of Law of our merged urban county government. Mr. Robbie passed away last month, and tonight we are honored to have several members of his family here. So first I would ask his sisters, Mrs. Mary Aurelia Rice and Mrs. Carol Ann Ridenour, to join me here at the podium. Okay. Can you hold on here? Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. Now I'd like to ask if other family members could please stand. We have a lot of them here. Yay. And just while they're standing, there are several other people I'm going to mention, but if you're here to support this George Robbie proclamation, will you also stand? Thank you. Excellent. So thank you so much for coming. My understanding is, and you can go ahead and sit down, please. My understanding is that many of you are here from northern Kentucky. And so we want to welcome you. Also tonight, several former members of our law department who worked with Mr. Robbie are here to pay their respects. And council members, some of you will know these people. They include the Honorable David Wagoner. As I call your name, will you just, do you mind to stand up? The Honorable David Wagoner. Did he make it? Okay. Richard Murphy. Now, these are all people who worked in our law department. Henry Skip Watson, whom I've known since college. James T. Hodge. Did Jim make it? Mary Ann DeDe Delaney.

Thank you. so I believe Skip I know Henry Watson as Skip who many of you do will you join us at the podium also so finally I want to recognize several Roman Catholic priests that we have with us tonight and members of the Lexington Sarah Club.

Now, it is my great pleasure to read this proclamation and present it to the family. And then we'll have a few words from Skip Watson. This is in memoriam, George F. Robby. Whereas George F. Robby, 89, passed away October 12, 2021, and whereas a graduate of Georgetown Law School, Mr. Robbie came to Lexington in 1972 at the request of then Mayor Foster Pettit to compose the legal document that would ultimately become the legislation that created our merged government. and whereas in 1974 the year the merger went into effect Mr. Robby served as the new government's first commissioner of law and whereas in 1976 Mr. Robby left public service and began practicing law in Lexington opening his own firm and whereas Mr. Robby practiced law into his mid-80s receiving the Henry T. Duncan Award from the Fayette County Bar Association, and whereas Mr. Robbie was a member of the Kentucky Bar Association for over 60 years, and whereas Mr. Robbie was a devout Roman Catholic and a 45-year member of the Sarah Club of the Diocese of Lexington, an organization that promotes the priesthood vocation, And whereas a lifelong bachelor, Mr. Robbie is survived by two brothers, two sisters, and over 120 other family members, now therefore I, Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby celebrate the life of George F. Robbie and honor his service to our city. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. May I give it to one of you? Do you want to say a few words? So I'll ask Henry Skip Watson to say a few words. First of all, I shouldn't be the one standing here. I think it's kind of by default. A better representative would have been the late Steve Milner. They were very close. I joined the Department of Law staff in December. No, I'm sorry, the fall of 1975. The government was brand new. We were basically making things up as we went along. We had two cases to guide us, and a lot of county law and a lot of city law, but no urban county law. So we were trying to pull together law from different places in order to allow the government to function, and the questions came in hot and heavy daily. I'll tell you two things about George. in December of 75 Scotty Basler was the vice mayor of the urban county government and somehow a telephone call got down to me on a Friday afternoon I'd been practicing all month and a phone call got down to me from the Herald leader and the question from the reporter was well it looks like Scotty Basler is going to have to run to be the vice mayor again because the life of the legislative bodies only two years when you had two-year council members along with the three four-year members. And I looked at it and I said, I think you're probably right. Well, they called Mr. Basler early the next morning and said, we're going to run a story. There's a lawyer down there named Watson who says you've got to run for vice mayor again. And if anybody knew Scotty Basler, you knew what was happening over Athens. The rockets were going like this. And they got a hold of George. And luckily I was right. I made the right call. And George very loyally backed me up on that. Now the other short story is I had a brief due in the Court of Appeals. Back in the day, you had to have your briefs printed. I don't mean on a word processor. I mean they had to go to a printer and be printed and bound. So my drop dead date was a Monday to get it to the printer. I finished my brief. I took it in to George on a Friday afternoon, and I said, George, take a look at this. I was very proud of this brief. It's the first thing I'd done, the first brief I'd written. And his name was on it as commissioner of law as well as mine. So George read the pleading, and he read the brief, and he said, this is an excellent brief on the merits of this case, but you totally missed the point. The point is a procedural point. The case was dismissed for failure to prosecute. You've totally argued in the wrong direction. needless to say I spent the weekend up on Walnut Street rewriting my brief and it made it to the printer and everything was fine I mention these stories for two reasons one it demonstrated George's loyalty he backed me up he didn't go ballistic when I was 48 hours from having my brief to the printer calmly pointed out where I'd gone wrong gave me the chance to fix it and I'll never forget either of those lessons that I learned from George. And I'm sure everybody that ever practiced with him, whether it was at the People's Republic here or whether it was in the private practice of law, they learned a lot. You could not help but learn from George Robbie. He was a tremendous mentor. And the atmosphere that he created in that Department of Law, I hope it's still there because it was an excellent one. I'm glad you all bore with me. It's not easy for a simple country lawyer of Irish ancestry to be brief, but I've done my best. Thanks, folks. Thank you. Thank you. Are you able to come up for a photo? Yes. Would you like the rest of your family? Okay. Okay. Okay, we're going to have a photo with the family and the council. We'll go right up there. Now, can I do anything to help you? Okay. Thank you. . I'm just getting them. I'm not gonna have to. I'm not gonna have to. And just meeting. Oh, John. John. John. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yes, of course. My pleasure. Thank you. Let's see. Thank you so very much. And I did these, so we'll just include that. It's yours. Yeah, we appreciate it. He's a great man. Thank you so much. Yes, thank you very much. Thank you. All right, we're not finished yet. So we have a brief presentation. We have several people here tonight, led by Michael Wilson, head of the Central Kentucky Homeless and Housing Initiative, to talk about Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. Polly Ruddock, head of our Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention, and Charlie Lanter, who has extensive expertise in this area, are also here. Where are you, Polly and Charlie? Don't be shy. So where's Michael? Okay, here he comes. Okay, the city has partners throughout our community who work together to help people who are experiencing homelessness. and it is my pleasure to offer this proclamation. Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. Whereas Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week calls attention to the issues surrounding homelessness and hunger in our country and whereas 51,700 Fayette County residents are living on the edge, forced to choose between basic necessities, and whereas 9,410 local children are at risk of suffering from hunger, and whereas nearly 600 individuals experience homelessness on a typical night in Fayette County, And whereas in Fayette County, we recognize the solution to ending homelessness and hunger is safe, affordable housing. And whereas Lexington is fortunate to have a network of community providers who work together to provide basic necessities to those in crisis. And whereas the number of people experiencing homelessness in Lexington has dropped in recent years. Thanks to the work of the Lexington Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention and Continuum of Care Partners, now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 13th through the 21st, 2021, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in Lexington. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I'd like to hear brief remarks from Michael Wilson. Welcome to the podium. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Mayor. I appreciate this opportunity to be with this prestigious body and to have a comment or two. First, let me say that we appreciate the opportunity to be the recipients of this proclamation. Central Kentucky Housing and Homelessness, Chicky as we refer to it. But we are doing this not because we did something special other than we are a part of this community and trying to deal with hunger and homelessness and housing. But then of course there are community partners, an abundance of them that are doing the same types of things. And of course all of them, if we could make a copy, Mayor, and just pass it to all the community partners, you know, because there's a lot of them, though, isn't it? Definitely so. But we just want to make that clear that it's not about us, but it's about collaboratively working together as a community to address these very important issues as to hunger and homelessness. On a national level, there are 580,000 people in our country that go, well, you can't say go to bed, but at night, they are homeless. That many people in our country that are homeless. Then, of course, there are 14 million people in our country that are on the edge. A lot of them go to bed not knowing where their next meal is going to come from. So these issues are very important. Homelessness and hunger. It's now during this every year during November, November the 13th to the 21st, is Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week. So this is something that takes place in our country every year that persons might be more aware. This probably would be a little better. Is that all right? Take it off? Good. Thank you. So it's something that's going on throughout the nation. And over 700 organizations, churches, other nonprofits are part of this effort to make persons more aware of what is going on. We've been working with Ms. Sheehan, Jenny has, and of course with Mr. Maloney throughout the year with Jenny and some other persons as well, just to kind of do what we can and to assist the city and be a part of the community partnership so that we can deal with these issues. As I thought about it, there are a lot of ways to be involved, and we can only hope that by reason of this proclamation today that those persons throughout this community will be involved in these all-important issues. just as a note I just kind of scribbled down here no one should have to worry whether they have food on their plate or a roof over their head nobody should and those are just things that so many of us just take for granted take for granted there are far too many people that suffer from hunger and homelessness and far too many people have tried to make it and just can't seem to have the daily necessities. Now, we have tried to come up with some things so that we can generate awareness. And I'm glad that we have our treasurer with us, Mr. Jared Pauley, and he just wants to let you know some of the things that we are doing and have done and now we have generated something new. And, of course, I think if Ms. Straub has put that together, maybe she might even show it on the screen or something, how you can become more aware. Is that right? Jared, please. Is that good? Hi. So I'm Jared Paul. I'm the treasurer for Chiki. I can't say a lot beyond what Mike said, so thank you all for listening. But this week is about raising awareness for hunger and homelessness, as you know. and I would like to challenge each of you to do something this week that makes you uncomfortable. Whether that's volunteer, if that makes you uncomfortable, please try to do that. If it is donating, you feel called to do that, please donate. There's a lot of organizations that could use your funds. If you feel called just to drive across town to somewhere you don't ordinarily go with a different point of view, please do that. Change happens to be uncomfortable, and that's what this week is about. So I appreciate all your time. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Now let's get a photo with you all and the proclamation and the council. And then after the photo, I'll ask the vice mayor to take the chair. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all. I think this allows us to move to ordinance for second reading. Madam Clerk, and when you're ready. Yes sir. Ordinance number one, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriating and reprobating funds, fiscal year 2022, schedule number 16, and item two. An ordinance amending the authorized strength by abolishing one vacant classified position of polygraph technician, grade 514, creating one classified position of background investigation specialist, grade 515, and the division of police effective upon passage of council.

Vice Mayor Kay? Here? Yes. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Thank you. Ms. Legree? Yes. Mr. McCurran? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Maloney? Yes. Ms. Plowman? Yes. Ms. Reynolds? Yes. Ms. Sheehan? Yes. Ms. Bledsoe? Yes, ma'am.

Thank you. Thank you. Are there any walk-ons? Seeing none, any suspensions? Councilmember Bledsoe. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I'm going to suspend the rules and give second reading to item number five, which is the bond obligation so we can get that done before the timing. So moved. I have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion on the motion? Hearing that all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Actually, that's a matter of finance. It's the resolution that needs to be read twice tonight. I think we're okay operating with the actual ordinance not being done until the next meeting. I'm sorry. It's okay. It's just technically it's a matter of finance under the charter, so you're really not able to suspend the rules at one meeting. It's okay, I got confused on the five. Right, so it would be the resolution relay to the bond that needs to be read twice tonight. Thank you. Is there any other motions to suspend the rules? Seeing none, that allows us to move to resolutions for second reading. Madam Clark. Vice Mayor, for procedural purposes, you took a vote on that motion. Do you need to have procedural, do you need to withdraw? I mean, you took a vote on the motion, so. I called the vote. Did we also take it? I don't know. Law, what do we need to do?
