Thank you, mayor. I just have a quick announcement. Again, it seems like I talk about Woodland Park a lot during this time of year, but it's a good thing. I want to remind everybody that the doggy paddle at Woodland Park is happening very soon on Saturday, September 10th. You do need to register your dogs so that they can take a little swim around in the pool, but it's a fun event for well-behaved dogs. I do not have a well-behaved dog, so I won't be there with him. But I look forward to seeing all the good dogs who are out there swimming and living their best lives in the pool. Remember to register through the Lexington Humane Society and I hope everybody comes out for a fun event. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to echo the thoughts and the comments from Councilmember Josh McCurn about the veteran event this past Friday. i think the veteran hall of fame is a great asset to our community and uh... i know we attend and they expect us to attend as as elected officials but the support they get from our community in general i know our public safety partners with their in in full force our department of police department and a craig from your staff works with them on a day to day basis and i just think anything that we can do to uplift honor and recognize our veterans I mean, I think that event gives us that opportunity on a whole other level, I think is a great thing for our community. So thank you. Yes, thank you. And there were two Fayette County veterans inducted this year. Councilmember Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor, to continue that kind of conversation. Haley, if you would put that picture on the board. This September 11th, I'm sure many of you remember where you were on September 11th. And for the last six years, I've participated in the stair claim. not stair climb, stair climb. And I had done it at the big blue building, which was really hard. I've done it at UK's building without air conditioning. That was miserable. But now it's at UK's field, and it is beautiful. So you can see the bottom of the picture, the members of our community climbing. There's members of the fire, members of the police. Chuck, Congressman Ellinger and I did it last year together. And it's a really amazing moment in the community. one of the things you do is you pick a name of an officer or a fireman who passed away at 9-11, and you carry that name through your walk, which is a really meaningful thing. And then you get to the bottom and you ring the bell in their honor. And it is just such a special thing. The sunset was beautiful that particular night. It was last year. So if you could register, it's September 11th at 7 p.m. at Kroger Field. You can do so at the Paternal Order Fire website, which is the link up there. It's on my Facebook page. It would be a wonderful thing if you all want to do it with us this year. I've carried a pack the last two years, which is like, I don't know, 15 pounds or something. But I committed last year to wear the whole thing. So if I pass out, at least I know there's going to be EMS present. But I'm going to try. And if you all want to join us in doing that, it's a really special thing. And I'm excited to be there. And I know, Mayor, you've been there the last couple years as well. It'll be a neat thing. So I hope you all will join us and tell the community about it. It's a really neat thing, even if you don't end up walking, because it is a lot of walking stairs, obviously. People stand in the middle and support and cheer on those who are, and that's not a really special thing. So, thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to do a shout out for the paramedicine and Chief Wells. I want you to talk to Patrick and that group because we had a crisis on Westgate and code enforcement. And all of them came together. and I'm telling you guys, that group did a tremendous job for what we had down there and they've cleaned that area up and worked with the family and it's been a big asset. And I tell you guys, that paramedic, if I had an MVP to put out, it really helped out this community a great deal and I want to commend you all for all the hard work you all do there. Thank you. Thank you. Any other council announcements? Since we've been talking about veterans, council members, you will remember this is the first year that our government has recognized Veterans Day as a holiday. So government will be closed that day. However, we will be honoring our own government employees who are veterans with the breakfast that we do, and it will be on the 10th, November the 10th. So it'll be coming up in a short while before we know it. All right. With that, we have two people signed up for public comment. First is, I'll just say, if you'll say your name and council district when you come to the podium, and you'll have three minutes. And first is Dottie Bean. Welcome. My name is Dottie Beam. I'm a resident of 1364 Deer Lake Circle in Council District 8. I'm here again tonight just merely as an interested citizen and a taxpayer. Many of us are ready for some belt tightening in government since we're having to do that at home and in our businesses and in our churches and elsewhere. And it is in that spirit that I'd like to raise some questions tonight on at least one item that you passed. And then the remarks on the Woodland Park doggy paddle has brought up another one. So here goes. Resolution 37, we're about to purchase outdoor warning sirens and associated equipment from a sole source provider. Work is going to, what will be the cost associated with it? I don't see any cost there. And how many sirens are we buying? Where will they be installed? And are they similar to the ones that we have at various parks now, which do not work that well? Are there others that would work better from lesser-known providers? Are they really offering neighborhoods any real protection before a bad storm hits? I have to admit I have lived three blocks from the one at Berry Hill Park for 22 years, and I have yet to hear a sound. I know they've set it off, but I've yet to hear it, even during tests. I know this is a very routine thing, but any amount saved these days can be used to better address more pressing issues here in this community or in other communities that are hurting even worse than we are. Now, I also want to raise a little bit of a question. I have not read anything about this, but I find a half a million dollars for a bathroom at Woodland Park to be a little bit extravagant. Is there any way that we could have done that cheaper? I thank you all for your attention. Thanks. Thank you very much. And next we have Matt Minyard. If you'll state your name and council district for the record, and you'll have three minutes. My name's Matt Minyard. I think I'm in Council District Baxter, but I'm here as a soil and water conservation supervisor. And I'm asking this board not to approve a tax millage rate that's proposed here. This board could run on half that. Right now today there's a case in Fat Circuit Court over some items that may lead to misfeasance and malfeasance of office. A lot of the funds that the board gets, they don't even spend the first two years I was on the board. They couldn't spend all the money that they had. There's a gross lack of effective leadership on this board. A lot of the taxpayers' resources and a lot of the taxpayers' goals and a lot of the community goals are not being met by this board. And I want to urge this council to step up and do something and take some corrective actions and stop all this waste. Questions? Thank you. Thank you. Questions? Thank you. Thank you. All right, with that, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. All those in favor, say aye. Even as we are adjourned. Thank you.
