All three items on the agenda received approval, with the AECOM resolution being the only measure to face opposition from a council member. ## Budget and Financial Actions The council addressed two significant financial items during the February 10, 2022 meeting. **Amendment 0015-22** authorized an $11,850 payment to AECOM Technical Services, Inc. for work related to the Town Branch Commons Corridor project. This amendment represents additional funding for technical services associated with the ongoing corridor development initiative. **Contract 0053-22** established a $50,000 agreement with Commerce Lexington, Inc. to assist with the creation of the Regional Economic Development Collective. This contract represents the city's investment in regional economic development coordination efforts, with Commerce Lexington serving as the primary partner organization for this collaborative initiative. Both financial actions required council approval and represent investments in infrastructure development and economic growth initiatives for the community. ## Contested Items The meeting featured one contested item that resulted in a split vote among board members. **Resolution 0015-22** - Amendment of Account Numbers for AECOM Payment The board considered Resolution 0015-22, which involved amending account numbers for payment to AECOM Technical Services, Inc. While the resolution ultimately passed, it was not unanimous. Mr. Moloney cast the sole dissenting vote against the resolution, while the remaining board members voted in favor of the measure. The specific reasons for Mr. Moloney's opposition to the account number amendments were not detailed in the available meeting materials. Despite the dissenting vote, the resolution was approved and will proceed as planned. The payment to AECOM Technical Services, Inc. will move forward under the amended account number structure as outlined in the resolution. This represents the only item during the meeting that generated disagreement among board members, with all other business items appearing to receive unanimous support. ## Recognition of Rolanda Woolfork [timestamp: 00:30] Mayor Gorton presented a proclamation recognizing Rolanda Woolfork's contributions to the Lexington community during the February 10, 2022 meeting. The Mayor officially declared February 10, 2022, as "Rolanda Woolfork Day" in the city of Lexington. The proclamation highlighted Woolfork's extensive volunteer work and community involvement throughout her time in Lexington. Several council members participated in the recognition ceremony, including J. Brown, McCurn, and Moloney, who joined Mayor Gorton in acknowledging Woolfork's service to the community. The agenda item, designated as 0103-22, was presented as an informational proclamation with no formal action required from the council. The recognition served to publicly honor Woolfork's dedication to volunteer service and her positive impact on the local community. This proclamation represents the city's formal acknowledgment of citizens who demonstrate exceptional commitment to community service and civic engagement in Lexington. ## Zone Change Ordinance [timestamp: 01:00] The council considered Ordinance 0079-22, which proposed changing the zoning classification for property located at 7086 Tates Creek Road from Agricultural Rural (A-R) to Agricultural Buffer (A-B). Ms. Sheehan and Mr. Ellinger served as the key speakers during the discussion of this zoning change request. The ordinance specifically addressed the rezoning of the property to allow for the Agricultural Buffer designation, which typically provides a transitional zone between agricultural and other land uses. The council ultimately approved the zone change ordinance, allowing the property at 7086 Tates Creek Road to be reclassified from Agricultural Rural to Agricultural Buffer zoning. This change will affect how the property can be developed and used going forward under the city's zoning regulations. --- ## Decisions - **0163-22** — passed (14-0): Approval of the Minutes of the January 27, 2022 Council Meeting - **0079-22** — passed (13-0): An Ordinance changing the zone from an Agricultural Rural (A-R) zone to an Agricultural Buffer (A-B) zone for property located at 7086 Tates Creek Rd. - **0015-22** — passed (12-1): A Resolution amending Resolution 214-2020 to revise account numbers for payment to AECOM technical services, Inc. --- ## Full transcript Keep going.

All right, that motion passes, and now when you're ready, I'll ask our clerk to please give second reading to ordinances. Oh, I'm so sorry. Wait, wait, wait. We have a presentation I apologize. And this is a very special presentation. So, Stacey, can you, I think Rolanda Wolfork is in the meeting. Rolanda, can you put your, there you are. Welcome. Hey. We're so glad to have you. And I think that we all know that Lexington residents are the best and they're the best anywhere. And they're what makes our city a great place to live, to work, to raise a family. And tonight I want to talk about a special person who has been a dedicated volunteer and my good friend and a friend of many on the council and in the neighborhoods, Henry Kenyon, suggested that we recognize Rolanda Woolfork for her volunteer work. And as usual, he was absolutely right. So Rolanda, I'm very sorry that I can't give you this in person, but it is my pleasure to present this proclamation virtually, and then we will get it delivered to you, and I'm going to read the proclamation, and Rolanda, if you have some words to say, and I especially want to invite Council Member James Brown to say a few words, and we'll go forward that way. So here we go. It looks like this, Rolanda. It's kind of like that. Whereas Rolanda Woolfork is a dedicated volunteer who supports her neighborhood, schools, church, and community. And whereas Rolanda has served on the Georgetown Street Area Neighborhood Association Board of Directors for several years, and whereas a mother of two, Blake and Akira, Rolanda has been active with the PTA and a volunteer with the Police Activities League. And whereas, as a member of First Baptist Church Bracktown, Rolanda is a member of the Evangelism and Outreach Ministry and an organizer of Church in the Park in Douglas Park. And whereas, as Rolanda has also served as a community resource consultant, a member of the Black and Williams Neighborhood Community Board, community activist, director of child care facilities, and a community grant writer. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare February 10, 2022, to Rolanda Woolfolk Day in recognition of her many accomplishments and dedication to our community. Thank you for all you do. I don't think there's any time in there for sleep, right? Thank you very much. Would you like to say a few words? Just thank you, first of all. Mr. Kenyon, love him to death. just I'm excited for this. I don't do it just for me. I do it for everybody else. And whatever the Lord gives me to do, I do it. It's my way of being obedient to him. That's wonderful. Thank you. Council Member James Brown. I know you know this woman. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Mayor. You know, I've known Rolanda. We call her Roe affectionately. since I was a little kid. We grew up together. And I will say that she is more than deserving of this recognition. And I think a lot of times when you're out doing this work, you don't do it for the recognition. You don't do it because you want somebody to acknowledge you. You do it because it's the right thing to do and because you're passionate about it. Rolanda served with me on the district PTA board and has always been a constant advocate for young people, education, getting parents involved. And what I think Rolanda is especially good at is speaking up on issues and on things when they're not right. It's easy a lot of times to just sit back and let things kind of go and try to address them behind the scenes, but she is always willing to speak up and try to get them addressed transparently and on the front end before it becomes a problem and calling out problems when they do exist. So she's a hard worker, constantly going. I can tell you about several projects that she's been involved with in the past and several projects that she's involved with now. But she is a true champion of her neighborhood, the community, our students, and the school system. So this recognition and this honor is well-deserved. So congratulations. Thank you. Very nice. Anyone else? Councilmember McCurn? Thank you, Mayor. Congratulations, Roe. Well-deserved. Happy to be honoring you. And, you know, Councilmember Brown, he very eloquently put it all together there. But you are a great community activist. you advocate on behalf of the neighborhood on behalf of kids and it's been a pleasure working with you guys some sometimes we're on a meeting and we may think no one's watching it and all of a sudden i'll get a text message from roe saying hey what about this and i'm like man i i didn't think anybody was even watching this meeting but she's here with us um and she's constantly always doing good for for the betterment of the community and never looking out just for herself so i'm greatly appreciative of your service and I'm happy to call you a friend. Congratulations. Thank you. Wonderful. Thank you. Council Member Maloney, did you wish to speak? Well, I know you and I go way back and I'll tell you every time I go into your neighborhood or anywhere, you're always there and you deserve this award and you've for many years I've been in that end of seeing you're the first person I run into. You've always got a pleasant spot And I agree with Council Member Brown and McCurron. There's no one else to support as much as you do. And I appreciate everything you've done. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else? Congratulations, Rolanda. We're very excited. And thank you for all your good work in the community. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right.

Councilmembers, you have communications from the mayor for information only. And then we have no police discipline and no fire discipline tonight. And so now is the time for any announcements you have if you log in. Councilmember Sheehan. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to make an announcement that on Monday at the 1.30 Board of Adjustment hearing, there is an item on the agenda for my district for 319 Duke Road. This is a conditional use permit for the Bluegrass Care Navigators for use of that space. And if anybody in the public wants more information about that, you can go to LexingtonKY.gov, click on public notices at the top, and then you should be able to, on that page, get to the Board of Adjustments, legal advertisements, and all of the information for the next meeting on Monday the 14th is there. Thank you. Thank you. Vice Mayor Kay. Thank you, Mayor. there's been previously an agreement that at this meeting we would reconsider the question whether we continue to meet online or in person and I have not pulled the entire membership but I have the sense that the balance may be in favor of moving back towards in person. And so I'm going to make the motion in that affirmative for the purposes of discussion. So I move that the council begin with its meetings next week to come back and meeting in person. So move. Second. Okay. Council Member Baxter seconds. Let's have some discussion. Is there any? If you'll just raise your hand. Council Member Lamb. Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Vice Mayor, for bringing this up. I actually was talking to some of my colleagues this afternoon about it at lunch, and I do feel like that with the numbers declining, and perhaps maybe there's an opportunity, I don't know if that's appropriate while the motion's on the floor, but I think it'd be nice to understand about the declining numbers so that when we make this decision, everybody is fully aware of the the numbers that are declining in the number of cases. And I don't know if, Mayor, if that's something that you can speak to. I was on an emergency management call this morning and was learning about some numbers, but I don't feel like that I'm the right person. I just feel like that it's a very positive thing for my colleagues to understand when making this decision. yes i um i don't have in front of me they're in a different place the numbers for today i know the numbers are declining yes uh we're not um we're certainly not any place near where we were last summer when we uh for example i took the mask mandate off but we are declining in our numbers. Okay. And I guess the only other thing I would say is I haven't heard from any of the staff or anything, but we can still wear our mask while we are still sitting in the chamber, as well as our colleagues and the staff and everything too, right? My mask mandate will stay for a while. We looked at the, you will remember that last summer early, I think it was maybe in May or I've forgotten the date. We took the mandate off and we went all summer long with very, very low cases in a day, five, six cases, seven cases. And then in August, our cases started rapidly rising and I put the mask mandate back on just as kind of a comparison. And I think right now we're in the 700s range as opposed to single digit numbers last summer. So I'll be keeping the mask mandate for a little bit longer until we're way down out of the red. We're still in the red zone. And so that was how we made the determination for the masks. So that mandate will stay on in government buildings for a while. Well, that's important to me for making this decision going forward. And so we'll see how it goes. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Any other comments to the motion, if you'll show me your hand? The motion, if I might restate vice mayor, is to start in-person meetings on, would that be on Monday, technically on Monday for council? Yes, ma'am. Okay. Any other comments? All right. All those in favor of the motion, if you'll just show your hand, please. Is anyone opposed? All right. Thank you very much. That passes. So we will start in-person meetings next week. Thank you. Anything else, Vice Mayor? no ma'am but if i can i just a comment uh i appreciate that the council is uh basically speaking with us with a single voice on this and i know that as was the decision to go back to being online the decision to come back in person is not an easy one But on balance, the sense was that there's a sufficient decline and that the risk has abated some and that given the feeling that we are able to do our work better, if at all possible in person, I think that basically weighted into the decision. So that's the background for that. So thank you. Okay, thank you. All right. more announcements. Councilmember James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to thank you and your office for recognizing Rolanda tonight. I think, you know, I think sometimes just giving recognition and acknowledgement when it's due, I think means a lot and goes a long way, especially when it's, you know, just recognizing a volunteer that doesn't have to do it. I think that's important and we should do more of that. The other thing is I would like to make a request of somebody in park and recreation. I mentioned it to Commissioner Ford. Currently, they have a big social media campaign going around the city recognizing some places in our community tied to Black History Month. If they can just be prepared next week to maybe just speak a few minutes about the locations and the places that they're recognizing and some of the thought behind it, I think would just be good because they're doing a real good job of recognizing and acknowledging these places and individuals online. So if somebody could just be prepared maybe next week at a work session to speak to that, I think that would be good. And then I'd also just like to, Kendra Thompson with our staff, today was her birthday, wish her a happy birthday. And tomorrow, Tiffany Mastin in my office, tomorrow is her birthday. So I just want to wish her a happy birthday and thank her for all the work that she does in the council office. She's she's pretty amazing. And just I know she's off tomorrow, but just wish her a happy birthday and enjoy her day. So that's all I have. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Legree. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to share some information along with Vice Mayor Kay. I serve on the Downtown Lexington Management District Board, and I wanted to share that the DLMD is providing grant funding for public art. So funding for organizations or artists who wish to produce public art projects or programming that will help to visibly showcase the DLMD, the Downtown Lexington Management District, and wish to do art in support of its mission. And generally just to contribute to the arts and cultural landscape within the boundaries of the district. So I want to let people know that those grants range from $500 up to $10,000 based on the applicant's requested amount. And all of the details having to do with that grant application process and timeline are available on DLEX.town. And we'll be promoting that on social media. So if we have some creative folks who want to do some art in downtown, we have even more ways for them to do that. I know we've talked about art a lot this week, so I'm glad to share one more opportunity there. That's it, Mayor. That's great. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I got a request from the correction officers in Lodge 83 to thank each one of the council members for voting tonight. to get the collective bargain. So I promised that I would pass that on. So they wanted to thank you all for helping them out. Thanks. Thank you. Anything else for announcements? All right. Stacey, do we have any public comment? Anyone registered? No, ma'am. Okay. Thank you. With that, we've come to the end of our agenda. So could I have a motion to adjourn? so move second thank you vice mayor thank you councilmember plumb and all those in favor show us your hand all right thank you we are adjourned have a wonderful safe night
