Mr. Ellinger and Ms. Sheehan were the key speakers who participated in the discussion of this agenda item. The item was presented as an ordinance requiring formal council action. The minutes from both February meetings were presented to the council for review and approval. No specific concerns or objections were raised during the discussion of the meeting minutes. The council voted unanimously to approve the minutes of both the February 10, 2022 and February 17, 2022 meetings, formally adopting them into the official record. ## Amending Budgets for Municipal Expenditures [timestamp: 06:02] The council considered Ordinance 0195-22, which would amend the budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures. Ms. Baxter and Ms. Sheehan served as key speakers during the discussion of this budget amendment ordinance. The measure was designed to adjust the government's existing budgets to align with current municipal spending needs and requirements. The ordinance was approved by the council, allowing the necessary budget modifications to move forward to accommodate the updated expenditure requirements for the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. ## Amending Budgets for Traffic Engineering [timestamp: 06:02] The council considered Ordinance 0196-22, which proposed amending municipal budgets to allocate $500 for the installation of speed tables on Douglas Avenue. The ordinance was presented as a traffic calming measure to address safety concerns on the street. Key speakers during the discussion included Ms. Baxter and Ms. Sheehan, who participated in the deliberation of this budget amendment. The proposed allocation of $500 was specifically earmarked for speed table installation, which represents a relatively modest investment in traffic engineering infrastructure designed to reduce vehicle speeds in the Douglas Avenue area. The council ultimately approved the ordinance, authorizing the budget amendment to proceed with the speed table installation project. This approval allows the city to move forward with implementing the traffic calming measures on Douglas Avenue using the allocated funds. The speed tables are intended to serve as physical traffic control devices that encourage drivers to reduce their speed while traveling through the area, potentially improving pedestrian safety and overall traffic conditions on Douglas Avenue. ## Management Contract with Lexington Center Corporation [timestamp: 06:02] The council considered Ordinance 0143-22, which would authorize an amended and restated Management Contract with the Lexington Center Corporation. This ordinance involved updating the existing management agreement for the Lexington Center. Key speakers on this item included Ms. Baxter and Ms. Sheehan, who presented information about the proposed contract amendments and restatement. The ordinance was approved by the council, allowing the city to move forward with the amended and restated management contract with the Lexington Center Corporation. The updated agreement will govern the ongoing management relationship between the city and the corporation that operates the Lexington Center facility. ## Amending Authorized Strength in Div. of Aging and Disability Services [timestamp: 06:02] The council considered Ordinance 0156-22, which would amend the authorized strength within the Division of Aging and Disability Services by abolishing one vacant position and creating a new position in its place. Ms. Baxter and Ms. Sheehan served as key speakers during the discussion of this personnel restructuring measure. The ordinance represents an administrative reorganization rather than a net change in staffing levels, as it involves eliminating one vacant position while simultaneously establishing a new position within the same division. The Division of Aging and Disability Services provides critical support services to vulnerable populations, and this position restructuring appears designed to better align staffing with current operational needs and service delivery requirements. The council approved Ordinance 0156-22, allowing the Division of Aging and Disability Services to proceed with the authorized strength amendment. This approval enables the department to move forward with abolishing the specified vacant position and creating the new position as outlined in the ordinance. --- ## Decisions - **0195-22** — passed (13-0): Amending budgets for municipal expenditures, FY 2022 Schedule No. 29 - **0196-22** — passed (13-0): Amending budgets for $500 for speed tables on Douglas Ave., Schedule No. 30 - **0143-22** — passed (13-0): Authorizing amended Management Contract with Lexington Center Corporation - **0156-22** — passed (13-0): Amending authorized strength, creating position in Div. of Aging and Disability Services --- ## Full transcript Just hang out there.

So she will be mixed and my heart goes out for her and her family. Thank you. She was a wonderful person. Water on your side, that's all I got to say. A great neighborhood advocate and a registered nurse. Really wonderful woman. Thank you. Councilmember James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just noticed today in the communication that one of my neighborhood resource officers, Brandon Marowchek, is being promoted. So I just wanted to congratulate him on his promotion. Thank him for the service that he provided to the Wimburn, Green Acres, Hollow Creek neighborhood for several years. I think all of our officers do a good job, especially our neighborhood resource officers, and I think he was one of the ones that helps up the standard for how that job and how that role is conducted in our community. So congratulations to Officer Morabchick. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. I want to echo Councilmember Maloney's comments about Margaret Long. When I met her when I was campaigning the first time, she said, I basically run this neighborhood of Pine Meadows. And I was like, okay, well, good to know. And she filled me in on some things. And actually, we, along with the Neighborhood Association President, had it already on the calendar with the mayor's office to honor her and gave her a proclamation and I'm really sad that we're not going to be able to do that with her here. So we're going to have to find another way to honor her in the district. And then I just wanted to say how grateful I am for everybody that came to the vigil last night. It had a great turnout, a lot of variety of people showed up, and I'm really thankful for everyone that helped out with the Mayor's International Affairs Advisory Commission. And many, many others. Thank you to the mayor for being there. Thank you to my colleagues. Thank you to Vice Mayor Kay, Councilmember James Brown, Maloney, Ellinger, Sheehan, McCurn, and Kloiber. I really appreciate you all being there. And I know other people appreciated it. And afterwards, Dr. Brody and I stayed and we talked to some of the families. And they just told us some incredible stories of what's happening. One family just got back from the Ukraine two weeks ago. They were there visiting, and they were saying that they were very close to being stuck there and that their families are being torn apart, that some of the women are separated from the men. Some of the men have to enlist in the military. Some of the women are sent away. Some of them have to go underground. Oftentimes, the children are being separated from the families. And then one person knows somebody who's on the Ukrainian parliament, and she is underground right now and had to send her child away. And is saying, even on Twitter, that the Russian government is holding guns to the heads of the elected officials and saying, if you don't switch regimes, we're going to kill you. So I want for a moment for us to think about what in the world that would be like if that was us. What if we were the ones that were in that position? I just can't even imagine. So I appreciate everyone's prayers. And something I've been thinking about is what can we do from here? What can we do now? And so I asked some of the people from the Ukrainian community last night, what can we do? And they said that it's really hard because they can't receive really donations because a lot of the borders are closed and they don't have a way of getting the donations in. So they're asking for money for relief organizations that are on the ground there and that can serve them. So they gave us this list. It was on the sheet last night. Could you scroll up a little bit? Thank you. So there's the church that you can give to directly, which was what was up there, or there's these other organizations. And so you can share these with people. i'm sure there's many organizations that are helping but these are just some that have local connections and so i thought you might be interested in that did the did the photos go through they didn't go through okay i sent a bunch of photos but they didn't go through but i've put them on my facebook page at lexington's 11th i put up a bunch there i sent them out to all of the meack and i just want to also thank our local press who did a great job of covering the event before and during. So anyway, I hope that we can continue to look for ways to support our international community and not just the Ukrainian community. Thank you. Thank you, and thank you for your part in helping organize and get it all. I think you were also the stage manager, helping everything happen the way it was supposed to. It was a wonderfully peaceful night and we think about 350 people were there which was wonderful. People brought their signs, people brought their Ukrainian flags and just as it got dark the city center lights in blue and yellow lit up so that people could see those and it was a wonderful statement about how our community feels about what's going on so thank you for your part in that any other announcements i have just one brief one council members you will remember that my commission on racial justice and equality in 2020 presented 54 recommendations one of which was to stand up a permanent racial justice and equality commission and you all approved the members a couple weeks ago and we had our first meeting kind of an organizational meeting yesterday so the commission's up and running and they spent most of yesterday's meeting learning about their mission reading the ordinance what they're supposed to do and what they're not supposed to do and getting a meeting time and all that kind of thing so they are up and running the chair is sam mux and the vice chair is charlotte turley whom i know many of you know and so they're very passionate about working for the community. And it's a wonderful group of people from all kinds of backgrounds. So just wanted to let you know they are now up and running. And with that, do we have any public comment? No one signed up? All right. Well, I think we're ready for a motion to adjourn. So moved. All right. All those in favor, say aye. We are adjourned. Thank you very much.
