Now it is time for minutes of the March 3rd council meeting. If I could have a motion to approve, please. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Is there a second? Thank you, Councilmember Fred Brown. Any questions? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right, that motion passes and now it is time for second reading of ordinances. Number one, an ordinance amending section 1-11 of the zoning ordinance to include barbershops and beauty parlors as permitted uses as a home-based business. Number two, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington Fay or Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriating reappropriating funds fiscal year 2022, Schedule number 31. Number three, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Lexington Fay or Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for funds in the amount of $2,700 for the Division of Traffic Engineering for three stop sign enhancements on Castle Road, Schedule number 32. Thank you, is there a motion to approve? All right. All right, thank you, and when you're ready, if you'll call the roll, take the vote. Ms. Baxter? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Fred Brown? Yes. Mr. James Brown? Yes. Mr. Ellinger? Do you have a schedule for number two, by chance? We've got it. Could you put it on the screen to make sure that's the. That's a more complicated question. I don't even think. They could read it if that would help. I'll print it out, I'll be right back. Do you want to read it? I have it here, but I just want to make sure I have the right one here. Which budget journal? It's schedule number 31. It's number two of second reading of ordinances. But would it be on budget journal 13383? Yes, Mr. Ellinger, I can see that one. No on 45,000, yes on the rest. Yes, sir. Okay, thank you. Now, when you're ready, if you'll continue the vote, please. Vice Mayor Kaye? Yes on all. Ms. Lamb? Yes. Ms. LeGree? Yes. Mr. McCurn? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Maloney? For the record on number two, I will vote no on the 45,000 and I will vote yes on everything else. Thank you. Ms. Sheehan? Yes. Mr. Worley? Yes, ma'am. No one asked my name. Ms. Reynolds. Yes. Where's that? Okay. Okay. Are you good? All right, all of those. Wait. You still have a few more, I think. Hang on. Yes, there are two no votes on the number two. Mm-hm. Well, it has to be the whole thing. Yeah. That's right. Okay. Okay, sorry about that. We're ready. Council Member James Brown, did you vote? No, I didn't. He wasn't. Oh, Council Member James Brown. Yes. Okay. Did everyone else get called to vote? All right, thank you very much. Those all passed. Sorry, Mayor, point of order. There were three, two, no votes on number two, is that correct? Yes. And that was not, was that reflected in the record? I'm questioning whether the record's going to be clear. It will be clear. We have noted that Mr. Ellinger and Mr. Maloney voted no on the particular budget schedule that concerns the 45,000. In the voting box, we only have a yes or no, but in the notes, we have noted that. Okay, so my concern is that someone reviewing the video of this meeting is going to look at that vote, and it's going to reflect yay votes. Is that correct? If I recall in the written minutes of the meeting, it will be reflected that two council members voted no on number two. Is that still correct? Okay, so it will be reflected, it just can't be on the digital. It doesn't show up on the digital. It does not show up as no votes on the digital. Right. and for that reason i'd like to have a re-vote and and it it should show up as no votes on because they unless unless that particular question is separated and then amended then you can either vote you can only vote yes or no i even though we're not supposed to speak when we vote i understood that just the council members were trying to be on the record for that they disagree with that particular portion, but the vote should be reflected as a no to number two unless that item is first separated from the question, then amended. I think the issue is you only show one vote up there, correct, for all these ordinances. So you all showed yes votes, but in the minutes you'll show no on number two, those who voted no. Yes, Council Member Lane. May I speak? I think the point is that when the two votes were launched or casted by the two council members that voted no on the specific budget item within the ordinance, The way that the vote was casted, it was voting specifically no on that one specific item. But in my professional opinion, you have to vote in its entirety on the ordinance, whether you vote yes or no on the entire ordinance. And yes, of course, any time somebody votes no on one item, it's not going to show up on here, and they always have the record correct. But the point that I believe the vice mayor and I and Council Member Worley were saying is that when the vote was casted, it was casted in the method of saying they were voting no on one specific section within the entire budget amendment. And that is not acceptable. That's right. And then we went back and remember said you have to vote no on the whole item. Yeah. Okay. Council member Ellinger. Thank you, Mayor. Are we going to re-vote on that? Because you asked to re-vote. That's up to the council. And I'll make a motion to separate number two. Second. The motion is to separate out number two. It is to separate out number two and vote on it. Individually. Again, Mayor, point of order if I may. I think the appropriate way to proceed would be for reconsideration of the vote first. Yes. And if there's support for that, then motions to separate out. Because technically everyone's already voted. Correct. Yeah. So I'll make a motion to reconsider. Well. All right, Mr. Parliamentarian. And that would be out of order because that is wrong up there. So Council Member Ellinger was not on the prevailing side. The way that he voted was no. Well, actually, I think he voted yes on the- He voted yes on everything else. You can't do that. So his vote's not clearly reflected. Yeah, that's right. He can only vote yes or not. He voted no on number two. He can't. Can't. Ask Keith. Keith, would you like to weigh in on this, please? I think Council Member Worley is technically correct. Someone on the prevailing side of the entire vote has to make the motion to reconsider. And that would be someone who voted yes on everything. Does anyone else have another motion or shall we go on? That fails for lack of a second. It fails for lack of a second, that's right. All right, first reading of ordinances when you're ready. Number four, an ordinance amending the authorized strength by abolishing one vacant classified position of staff assistant senior grade 510N and creating one classified position of family services center supervisor grade 520E and the division of family services effective upon passage of council. Number five, an ordinance amending certain of the budgets of the Luchton Fay or Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriating and reappropriating funds fiscal year 2022, schedule number 33.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Are there any walk-ons, council members? Any suspensions to give second reading? and i would recommend yeah you do them all except the ones that have a schedule since you're going on break i would recommend i would make the motion to do that because thank you three weeks so that would be number council member brown number four number seven and number eight is that correct the others i believe whatever the schedules fine with me okay is there a second second Vice Mayor, thank you.

I'd like to have Ms. Preacher come up on... Preacher. Sorry about that, Brandy. I call her Brandy, so... On number 50, I just need... I got some clarification this morning at a different meeting, and I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page and the Council Members knew. This is an application for federal money, and as far as applying for this, you deemed in the grant application that it's going to take $25 million plus to do the reconstruction and the high street. How much of that was going to go into the park? Because we had talked about. Oh, you're now testing my memory. I don't have that. So let me look at this holistically. The full project maximum amount for this grant application is $36 million. $25 million of that is what we would request from grant funds. And 20% match is required, but we've been advised that if you would put in 30% to 40%, that's what typically is, those are more competitive. So our goal is a 30% match where possible. So 11 million total. With this 5 million that's requested here, along with other partners through The Lexington Center Corporation, Lex Tran, Town Branch Park, and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. We're putting those match funds together right now. And that's what I wanted everybody to understand, because that's not in the motion for the $5 million. But 20% of the $25 million is required as matching at a minimum. You're saying you want to ask for more, but you've got some, you can get the money from other places in which you explained this morning. But I wanted the council to know that if this application and this grant goes through, we have to come up with $5 million, ladies and gentlemen, but it's not in this particular motion. That's correct. In the blue sheet memo, it does explain it a little farther, stating that $11 million is the match for the grant. the LFUCG would bond the five million if successfully awarded the grant. That would be in fiscal year 24. And that's in the application, right? Yes. Okay. The bond, where the money comes from, that's not indicated in the grant application. So we would have time over the next year to figure that out. That explains what I wanted to explain to the rest of the council. Thank you. Thank you. Other questions? Council Member Maloney. Andy, I do want to bring you back up. And you said this was going to be similar to the Tiger Grant, this grant that you all are doing. You know, I questioned the last Tiger Grant we got because I don't remember one of my colleagues standing up to me, remembering that plan that we were going to do the other side of Old Frank for Pike and that area. But we would, I was, the intent was that we were always going to do it on Vine Street. to do all those beautiful water features that they came in my office and told me that they were going to do. And then when the mayor came on and condemned those properties on Oak Point for Pike, I started questioning where that came from. This is going back to what Council Member Brown's question is, and I have concerns about, are we going to be paying for the entrance to the park if this money comes in? The budget for the project would indicate that there is funds allocated across the entire district that would go to the various components. So it depends on how you look at it, right? It's all one pot of money and the entrance is part of that package. So the improvements that we are talking about include Patterson Street, include High Street from Broadway to Oliver Lewis Way, and connections along Oliver Lewis Way and between Spiegel Heights and the Davis Park. That's what I referenced on that map on Tuesday. And so there are improvements planned for Manchester Street, which includes facilitating some of the work there at the entrance on High Street. So the question I'm going to ask here is the $5 million that we, the council member brought up, would mean if we do end up getting all that proposal, part of it would be pay the entrance to that park, would be imparted at $5 million. The overall $36 million, it is included in that, yes. And I have concerns about that because it was supposed to be private money to go into this program, and I don't want to hear that the church is the reason why we're doing this. The church was there long before the park was. So I do question it about, I do want the grant, but I got burnt on the last grant we got. And I'm starting to feel a little bit of burning going on right now. And I'm just concerned about the way this money is going to go to pay for certain things. And if taxpayers have to put money out on a park that was supposed to be funded 100% by the private sector, which I'm in favor of. But if we're going to have to end up putting money into this park to what I never thought we were going to have to, I've got a question. Really, are we on the right track? So I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member LeGree. Brandi, would you mind just sharing a little bit about the background of why we started working on this RAISE grant? Thank you. Yeah, so great question. So as you all know, unfortunately, there have been several fatalities along High Street that have occurred, and in particular, past the Central Bank Center as you're in that curve. So the grant started as a way to improve pedestrian connectivity and safety in the area, which as we see the high street lot is redeveloping, the park will be in place. So the raise grant will put in signals, controlled stops on high street, and that's right there that would serve to provide anyone who's walking across high street, as well as slowing traffic as they go into that curve as well. So as we applied last year, it included the Manchester Street corridor, the high street entrance, and the improvements on high street. We were not awarded the grant. However, the Federal Highway Administration said we had a very competitive project. We met with them this week. So the recommendations they made, we're going to build upon those. And we've also chosen to add Patterson Street to this application as well so that we look at it district-wide. That would include a variety of utility improvements, widening the street to accommodate appropriate vehicular, bike, ped, traffic, And to ensure that we're safely accommodating all uses in the area. So I'll add one last thing, which is this grant cycle has said, from the administration, the federal administration on this said, we want to make sure that we're addressing areas of persistent poverty and historically disadvantaged communities. And so what's interesting about this site, while technically it's not in that neighborhood, bridges between what's on our west side, our north side, and our east side of downtown. So it makes a way for us to allow for safe travel in that area and connecting people on foot and on bike to job centers in our downtown. Thank you, Brandy. That was really helpful. I think this could be a really transformational project and can make a big difference for people who are on foot, on bike, people who are visitors, people who are in cars, in the neighborhoods and from all different backgrounds. Appreciate it. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Brandy. I really appreciate you explaining this. And we had a meeting, and we talked about this in detail. And I just acquired all of this area. And the first thing that I heard out of constituents that live in the triangle between High Street and Maxwell and the fire, the fighters that work over there and the police that work over there was how dangerous High Street is. How dangerous that curve is, and I drive it every day. And people are really, really concerned. They've seen fatalities. They've seen flooding from hitting hydrants. They've seen poles fall over. We've seen houses, the front of houses get hit and fall apart. So there's been a lot going on and I feel like this project is really important. And not just because it's now in the 11th district, but because so many people use that area as Councilmember Legree said, every day. And so even if you don't live there, you travel through there. And with everything that we've put into downtown, with everything that's going on with the new LCC project, I think that we have to invest in this infrastructure. And applying for a grant is probably the best option we have so that we don't have to spend over $25 million on this. And I've had a few comments that people ask me about that price tag and just say that it's so high. But I know that doing the rest of Versailles Road project, which isn't even very elaborate, would cost $25 million. And it's not a very long distance. So that's just how much these projects cost. And I just want to ask my colleagues to consider the importance this is for the whole city and the safety of those who traffic it every day. Thank you. Thank you very much. Does anyone else have any comments before we go on? All right. Are there any walk-ons? Are there any motions to suspend the rules and give second reading? Council Member Maloney? Thank you, Mayor. I have a couple. First one I want to honor to do number 46 for the long-waiting collective bargain for a fire department. So moved. Second. All right. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed? And council members, you can give second reading to all of these since you're going on a long break. So moved. Second. Thank you very much. Council Member Fred Brown and Council Member Reynolds. So we have Council Member Maloney's, and then they've done all. All those in favor of giving second reading to all of the rest of them? Say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right, that motion passes. Council Member Reynolds, did you have anything else? Okay. Okay. All right. Very good. So when you're ready, if you'll please give second reading to all the items.

Mr. James Brown? Yes. Mr. Ellinger? Yes. Vice Mayor Kay? Yes. Ms. Lamb? Yes, ma'am. Ms. Degree? Yes. Mr. McCurran? Yes, ma'am. Mr. Maloney? Yeah, I want to make a comment on one of my folks. On number 50, I earlier said that I have concerns about it. I did support that curve, the first where we didn't get the grant. The curve is a major issue. We've got to fix that, and I'm going to support this as long as we can come up and show the other money. I will question it when that time comes. But if we can get the grant for the curve, I'm in favor. And the vote is over. So moved. I'll pass on all of them, yes. Ms. Reynolds? Yes. Ms. Sheehan? Yes. And Mr. Worley? Yes, ma'am. Vice Mayor, excuse me, those passed. Vice Mayor, did you have a comment? I do, and I did not want to jump in, but the rules are that when a vote is in motion, is when the vote has been called and the roll is being called, it's inappropriate to make comments. Just for future reference. Thank you. All right, next is communications from the mayor, and I'll entertain a motion to approve. So moved. Is there a second? Second. Thank you, Council Member Legree. Any questions? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right, that motion passes. The next part is communications from the mayor for information only, and we do have a fire discipline and Chief Jason Wells is here to present it. Welcome, Chief Wells. Thank you, Mayor. On June 21st, 2021, an internal allegation was made. I'm sorry, this should have been 2022. June 20. Oh, no, it was 21. Yes. Yes, thank you. An internal allegation was made that Captain Justin Hallsaver, employee number 37520, violated UDG 5.01 conformance to laws. At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee met with me and has accepted an 80-hour suspension. This is the result of a guilty plea to a first offense DUI. Thank you. Is there a motion? Thank you. Council Member McCurn and then Council Member Ellinger seconded. Is there discussion? All right. All those in favor of approval say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? All right. That motion passes. Thank you very much. Next are announcements. Council Members, if you'll log in. Council Member Reynolds. I thought somebody was ahead of me. Did you want to go ahead? No, go ahead. Thank you. I just wanted to mention that last night I hosted a town hall with One Lexington at Village Branch Library. And we had a good turnout and mostly we were there to listen. We discussed a little bit some of what the city's doing and what One Lexington is doing and what Dunbar High School is doing to address gun violence and youth violence. I was really thankful to have both Divine Karama and Mr. Johnson from One Lexington there. And I really appreciated their comments. And also we had Steve Durson from Dunbar High School. He's a social worker. And he was very helpful at explaining some of the work that they do with the youth at Dunbar High School. And we have the support of several neighborhood associations, including Cardinal Valley Neighborhood Association and Pine Meadows there. And we had police there, I appreciated them. And I wanted to recognize that Councilmember James Brown also was there. And it was just to start kind of picking up some of the work that we did in the community before COVID. And I remember the mayor was there and we had packed the library. And our goal is to just keep doing that and having these conversations about crime, the uptick in gun violence. And then we're just trying to stress that it's all of our responsibility to deal with it. It's not just one person's. It's not just the mayor's. It's not just ours. It's not police or anyone else. It's all of us collectively together. And that's what it's going to take in order to change our neighborhood. So thank you for everyone's support. and I'll be announcing another meeting in the next few weeks. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Sheehan. Thank you, Mayor. As the Mayor mentioned, Henry Clay High School is playing in Suite 16 right now, so I wanted to say that we are cheering you on. And then last night we had a meeting over at Eureka Springs because the Green Space Commission is working on a project over off of Eureka Springs near Orleans Circle. And you can find out, if you're in that area and you want to find out more, you can go to the Green Space Commission website for more information and be able to give feedback on the project. And I want to thank Council Member Ellinger for joining me at that meeting and being supportive of that project. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I've been going to those basketball tournaments this week, and a couple of county judges that I know throughout the state have come up to me, and they said they wanted me to echo to Commissioner, you want to tell your fire chief and your police chief they're the most professional group they've ever worked with, and they really enjoy that people are coming up talking to them and being very, they really feel so safe and everything, and I just want to commend you all for the hard work that those guys are doing out there. And I hope all my colleagues do go. The tournament's been great. So hopefully, and the numbers are starting to pick up for the first time in a long time. So I want to commend you all. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member McCurn. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to let everybody know that tomorrow we'll have an affordable housing groundbreaking ceremony over in Kearney Hall. I'd like to invite everybody out. It'll be about 12 p.m. I look forward to this opportunity. We had the last project that we had a groundbreaking for and a ribbon cutting in the fall, and it's a beautiful project that's anticipated coming online of over 250 units. So hope everybody can make it out, and happy, safe St. Patrick's Day. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else? Any other council announcements? No? All right. We do have one person signed up for public comment, Brittany Rice. Price, excuse me. and if you'll state your name and your council district and you'll have three minutes my name is britney price i live at 1035 red mile road the 11th district i came down with covid a while back and now i am fully recovered if i was not fully vaccinated my system Let me repeat, if I was not fully vaccinated, my symptoms could have been worse. I am glad to be vaccinated and now waiting for the fourth dose. I have now returned back to my volunteer position as a patient escort transport person at the Lexington VA Medical Center, helping veterans and their families get where they need to go at the hospital. Now my life is getting back to normal as a deck seaman of the United States Navy, helping veterans like myself. Thank you, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and City Council for allowing me to speak this evening. Thank you. Thank you very much. We do have one more person signed up. Don Pratt? If you'll state your name in council district. You'll have, okay. How about we let someone over here pass them out? He can keep it. Just, it'll take them less time. And thank you. And then you'll have three minutes. First and foremost, please alter your rules and regulations so she doesn't have to do all that reading. Y'all don't waste all that time. Maybe you could have a motion to approve all the minutes or whatever it was, and then with the amendments, and then pass it, and you won't have to do all that. Everybody else is moving and everything else. I'm calling about this. I mean, I was here to talk to you the other day about preservation of our resources, which we're throwing so much into the garbage bin. But this building right here is part of a collection of historic properties that this city has lost. And I don't know precisely how you can pass the law. I'm not the legal expert. Certainly, I don't know how to counsel you all. But we need to preserve buildings like the Fritz Farmhouse, incorporating it into the structures that they're going to build there, the Meadowcrest property, preserving the old railroad station, Southern, and Union Station, which the city did in the name of urban renewals that destroyed it. We have history that our kids will not have destroyed. This has to be stopped, especially in the areas that are not in historic districts. You have to select those properties, including my house. No, not really. But we also have to make sure that our children have the history that was left for them by our forefathers and us to be noticeable when they get of our age. I may not be around much longer, so I'm getting this all off my chest right now. But we can do a lot more as a city government. We can do a lot more as citizens to advocate. We can do so much more. My first chance of advocating was when a little kid on my paper route was locked up in a refrigerator. He died. They didn't find him for five days. That kind of memory is a destruction of life because people left refrigerator doors. You can act. These properties are important to keep just like life is. So I thank you. But I have 53 seconds for the next time. You have 50 seconds. What's that? 50 seconds. I'm okay. I don't have to say more unless you've got a question. Thank you very much, Donald. Do. What's that? And please let her off the hook of having to read all that still. Thank you very much. I have no one else signed up to speak, so I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Thank you. All those in favor, say aye. We are adjourned. Thank you very much. Go Cavs!
