Additionally, Resolution 1105-22 approved $147,528.86 for ongoing software maintenance services with Oracle America, Inc., covering PeopleSoft Financials and Human Capital Management modules. **Infrastructure and Engineering Services** The largest expenditure was Resolution 1159-22, which approved an $8,147,353 contract with Connhurst, LLC for the West Hickman E Trunk Sewer Project. This represents a major infrastructure investment in the county's sewer system. Resolution 1086-22 authorized $900,000 for Sanitary Sewer Remedial Measures Program Management Consulting Services with Hazen and Sawyer, P.S.C., indicating continued focus on sewer system improvements and maintenance. **Financial Summary** The four resolutions collectively represent $9,886,055.86 in approved expenditures, with the majority ($8.1 million) dedicated to sewer infrastructure construction, followed by consulting services ($900,000), revenue system upgrades ($691,174), and ongoing software maintenance ($147,529). These investments span critical county operations including revenue collection, infrastructure development, and information technology systems maintenance. ## Public Comment Three individuals addressed the board during the public comment period. **Dotty Bean** [timestamp: 13:00] protested what she described as a civil rights violation, stating that she had been prevented from speaking during a previous public hearing. Bean expressed concern about her right to participate in public meetings being restricted. **Britney Price** [timestamp: 13:30] shared personal achievements with the board, announcing her acceptance of a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) position and updating the board on her academic progress in a class she is taking at the University of Kentucky. **Britney Rothmeyer** [timestamp: 14:00] addressed concerns regarding the Goal 4 Work Group report. Rothmeyer emphasized the importance of obtaining additional public input and conducting further evaluation before any decisions are made related to the work group's findings. She expressed the view that more community engagement was necessary in the process. The public comment period covered a range of topics from procedural concerns about meeting access to personal updates and policy-related feedback on ongoing district initiatives. ## Appointments The council made several appointments and reappointments to various boards and commissions during the meeting. **New Appointments:** • Anita Britton was appointed to CASA of Lexington • Brenda Vance was appointed to the Ethics Commission • Lella Still was appointed to the Homelessness Prevention and Intervention Board **Reappointments:** • Kevin Atkins was reappointed to the Industrial Authority Board • Derek Paulsen was reappointed to the Industrial Authority Board • Arthur Lucas was reappointed to the Internal Audit Board The appointments represent the council's ongoing effort to fill positions on key municipal boards and commissions that provide oversight and guidance on various city functions, from ethics oversight to homelessness prevention and industrial development. ## Contested Items The November 17, 2022 meeting featured one contested item that resulted in a split vote among council members. **MOA with Bluegrass Fraternal Order of Police** The primary point of contention during the meeting was a resolution to accept a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Bluegrass Fraternal Order of Police that would have increased base pay for police officers. The proposal failed to pass due to a split vote among council members, revealing significant disagreement within the council regarding police compensation. The split vote demonstrates that council members held differing opinions on the proposed pay increase for law enforcement personnel. While the specific voting breakdown and individual council member positions are not detailed in the available records, the failure of the resolution indicates that supporters of the MOA did not have sufficient votes to secure passage. This contested item highlights the challenges local governments face when balancing public safety funding with other municipal priorities and budget constraints. The disagreement over police compensation reflects broader community discussions about appropriate levels of investment in law enforcement services. The failed vote means that the proposed base pay increases for police officers represented by the Bluegrass Fraternal Order of Police will not be implemented under the terms of this particular MOA, though the matter could potentially be revisited in future meetings or through alternative proposals. ## Dunbar High School Boys' Soccer Team [timestamp: 00:30] The council recognized the Dunbar High School Boys' Soccer Team for their outstanding achievement in winning the 2022 KHSAA State Soccer Championship. As part of this recognition, the council declared November 17, 2022, as Dunbar Boys' Soccer Day in Lexington. The presentation featured remarks from several key speakers including Mayor Gorton, Ms. Bledsoe, and Coach James Wray. The agenda item, designated as 1137-22, served as an informational presentation to honor the team's accomplishments. This recognition highlighted the team's success in capturing the state championship title, marking a significant achievement for both the school and the broader Lexington community. The formal declaration of Dunbar Boys' Soccer Day demonstrates the council's commitment to celebrating local athletic excellence and recognizing the hard work and dedication of student-athletes. The item was presented as a ceremonial recognition without requiring any formal action from the council beyond the acknowledgment of the team's championship victory and the proclamation of the special day in their honor. ## Clark County Fiscal Court Healthcare Revenue Bonds 2022 [timestamp: 03:00] The meeting included a public hearing for agenda item 1196-22 regarding the Clark County Fiscal Court Healthcare Revenue Bonds, Series 2022. Mayor Gorton presided over this portion of the proceedings. The public hearing was conducted as required for the healthcare revenue bonds, providing an opportunity for community members to offer comments or raise questions about the bond issuance. However, no members of the public came forward to speak during the hearing period. Mayor Gorton facilitated the hearing process, ensuring proper procedures were followed for the public comment period. The bonds appear to be related to healthcare facility financing within Clark County's jurisdiction. The hearing concluded without any public input or discussion, as no citizens chose to participate in the comment period. This agenda item was informational in nature, serving the procedural requirement for public notification and input opportunity regarding the healthcare revenue bonds. The lack of public participation suggests either community satisfaction with the bond proposal or limited public awareness of the specific details and implications of the healthcare revenue bonds for local residents and taxpayers. ## Paid Parental Leave Ordinance The council considered Ordinance 1140-22, which establishes paid parental leave benefits for eligible city employees [timestamp: 02:00]. The ordinance authorizes up to four weeks of paid leave for employees following the birth or adoption of a child, and up to two weeks of paid leave for employees who become foster parents. Key speakers during the discussion included Ms. Bledsoe and Mr. Ellinger, who presented the details of the proposed policy. The ordinance is designed to provide financial support to city employees during significant family transitions while ensuring continuity of city services. Under the terms of the ordinance, eligible employees would receive their regular compensation during the approved leave period. The policy distinguishes between different types of family expansion, with birth and adoption qualifying for the longer four-week benefit period, while foster care placement qualifies for up to two weeks of paid leave. The council ultimately approved Ordinance 1140-22, establishing this new employee benefit for the city workforce. The paid parental leave policy represents an expansion of the city's employee benefits package and aligns with efforts to support work-life balance for municipal employees during important family milestones. --- ## Decisions - **Ordinance 1139-22** — passed (12-0): Amending certain budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government for municipal expenditures, FY 2023 Schedule No. 17. - **Ordinance 1141-22** — passed (12-0): Amending budgets for ADA Improvement Plan from ARPA funds, FY 2023 Schedule No. 20. - **Ordinance 1140-22** — passed (12-0): Creating Section 21-37.3 for paid parental leave. - **Resolution 1076-22** — passed (12-0): Approving Clark County Fiscal Court Healthcare Revenue Bonds, Series 2022. - **Resolution 1194-22** — failed (5-6): MOA with Bluegrass Fraternal Order of Police for pay increase. --- ## Full transcript It's six o'clock, so I will go ahead and call to order the Lexington Fayette Urban County Council meeting of November 17th, 2020.

And we're going to have all of these Dunbar High School soccer boys team come join us. We're going to just mask this area. And if this seems like deja vu from last year, it is. Just crowd around. That pretty much empties things out. So, Coach Ray, will you come up, please? So, before we begin the celebration of this outstanding group of young men from Dunbar High School, I do want to express my condolences as well as those of our city to the family, friends, and colleagues of Dunbar Athletics Director Jason Howell. I can't imagine the pain that many of you have been going through right now, and we as a city stand behind you in that. So it does seem like we had this group here just about a year ago because, you know, it was to celebrate them again. And the Dunbar boys soccer team has gone back to back and won consecutive state titles. This program won championships in 1992, 2001, 2005, 2013, 2021, and now 2022. And that is an incredible record. Congratulations to all of you. Yes. So after a tense scoreless game, this is really what you wanted, Coach, right? No. Head coach James Ray's Bulldogs buckled down and brought home the state title over number one ranked St. Xavier on penalty kicks. Goalkeeper Mason Feddick, where did you go, Mason? He's right back there. Made a key save in the shootout, while Dunbar's penalty takers stayed cool, calm, and collected en route to a memorable victory. You'll remember this journey with your teammates and your coaches for the rest of your lives. I am very happy for each of you and congratulate you on a well-done job. You know, we got to just say it outright, go Bulldogs, right? So at this time, I'd like to read a proclamation, first of all, and I'll present it to the coach who will receive it on behalf of all of you. Whereas Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School's boys soccer team defeated Louisville St. X High School on penalty kicks on October 29, 2022, to take home the 2022 Kentucky High School Athletic Association State Championship. And whereas Dunbar's boys soccer program has proven itself to be one of the best programs in Kentucky, having won six state championships, including back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022, and whereas Dunbar has the third highest number of state soccer championships of any school in Kentucky, and whereas head coach James Ray and assistant coaches Ted Butler, wait a minute, are the assistants up here with us? Just one of them. Okay. Oh, you're back there. He says I'm back here. Head coach James Ray and assistant coaches Ted Butler, Christian King, Matt Oster, and Eddie Zuniga have built a winning program and have shown their players how to work as a team to achieve great things. Now, therefore, I'm Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 17, 2022, Dunbar Boys Soccer Day in Lexington. Go Bulldogs. congratulations. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. So, in addition to the proclam- there they are. That's a good- somebody- is that last? That's last year's. Have you taken a new one yet? Okay, well we'll have to get a copy of that. In addition to the proclamation, I'm pleased to announce that I'm honoring each player with the Spirit of Lexington Award, and I'd just like to read one of them, and every one's is the same. And what it says is Spirit of Lexington Award, and then it will have your name, in recognition of the 2022 Paul Lawrence Dunbar Varsity Soccer Team, Kentucky High School Athletic Association Boys State Soccer Champions. I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby recognize player, in this case, Zeke Tyler, with a Spirit of Lexington Award. And they're dated November 2022. So congratulations to everyone. And what I think we'll do with these is rather than since we're all in a mass here, we'll give them out to you when we can call your name and have you come around the horseshoe up there. So, Coach Ray, if you would like to say a few words, and then I want to ask Council Member Bledsoe. Yes. Thank you, Mayor Gorton and Council Member Bledsoe and the rest of the council for having us out again this year. Yes, we're back. This doesn't get old, though. I do appreciate you guys, again, recognizing these boys. I know they've been looking forward to coming down here, and it's always an honor to be able to come down here and have the recognition that they deserve. So thank you guys for that. Also, thank you guys for being flexible. We were supposed to come down here two weeks ago, and I'm sure you guys are aware the flu was running rampant in schools. So I didn't want to get anybody else sick, and I wanted to make sure as many of these boys could come down and partake in this evening. So thank you guys for being flexible and allowing us to reschedule that as well. But, again, thank you guys. We appreciate it. Awesome. Thank you. Councilmember Bledsoe. Thank you, and thank you, Mayor. This is a fun thing for me. I had friends on that 92 team that set a very strong precedent, and I've known some of these boys for a long time since they were in kindergarten with mine. So it's really special to see. I just want to make a comment of how rare what they have done is. This is the third time in Lexington-Fayette County history where a team has gone back-to-back championships in football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, or baseball. The other two was Dunbar's soccer championship. I'm sorry, it was baseball in 1988 and 1989. And Henry Clay won basketball in 1918, 1919, 1920. To show you how exceptionally rare what they have done is for our city and how awesome it is. And I'm just so proud that the character that you've developed in these kids, these boys are amazing. And I know that from the families who say that. you developed an amazing culture of excellence that will continue long after they serve in Dunbar, and we're very proud to have you. Thank you. That's great. Thank you so much. So if I could read your name and give you your certificate, and then we'll kind of line up in front of the council for a photo. Zeke Tyler? That's me.

Tonight, Mayor Linda Gorton has violated my civil rights by preventing me from speaking at a public hearing on a proposal on this docket. I formally protest this, and I intend to pursue the matter further. Thank you. Brittany Price. My name is Brittany Price. I live at 497 Angliana Avenue, apartment 2328, 11th District.

And thank you, City Council. And thank you, Jennifer Reynolds, Councilmember of the 11th District. Thank you very much and have a great day. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Next is Brittany Rothmeier. Welcome. Thank you, Mayor. Members of the Council, I'm Brittany Rothmeier. I'm the Executive Director of the Fayette Alliance, which, as you all know, is a nonprofit dedicated to responsible and sustainable growth here in Lexington, Fayette County, through advocacy, education, and research. I'm speaking tonight to the resolution that was on the docket regarding the work of the Goal Forward Group. I want to say again thank you to Vice Mayor Kay and Council Member Brown for their leadership in a really important effort to continue the work of the Mayor's Sustainable Growth Task Force through what became known as the Goal 4 Work Group. What ultimately comes from this effort moving forward and how it informs other decisions stands to be the most important since we've implemented the Urban Services Boundary in 1958. But I think most importantly what has come out of this so far is knowledge that this discussion, analysis, and an opportunity for public input must be carefully continued. Over the course of 12 meetings, the work group had a lot of really good discussion. It was complicated and nuanced, and I commend all the members for committing the time. It was clear that everyone in the room really cared about Lexington. That being said, the process that's outlined so far in the report is meant to inform growth decisions that will have impacts for decades. and decisions were made over the course of those 12 meetings without public input or more detailed conversations on issues raised throughout the processes by group members and others. It's so important that we get this right. So much is at stake. We at Fate Alliance have been supportive of the need for the process and the conversation related to it. But as a result, in the evaluation of what this report sets into motion, it's important to reemphasize our concerns at this time and again state that there should not be an endorsement by the council until more work is done to address these important issues. Concerns raised by the report that deserve further input and evaluation include the preservation map which identifies sewerable areas of Fayette County without the benefit of an updated sewerability study or distinguishing between costs of sewerability in certain areas, as well as taking into account the impact on millions of dollars of investment in conserved and protected areas. the lack of involvement of the rural land management board and the work group process or the outline processes and the need to update the rural land management plan to accurately evaluate and reflect what currently exists in the rural area and what will be compatible moving forward how the process outlines supports leapfrog and scattered site development and infrastructure tied to it as a result of the infrastructure planning and private developer developer proposal process sub area planning up front for more than 28,000 acres of land outside the preserved area indicates all land in the expansion area will and should be developed at some point in the future and signals to our community we may be undermining the concept of the urban services boundary and permitting single developments to dictate infrastructure investments. If that's not our intent, we must ensure that the report, research, and process reflects our intent. While productive decisions have been had, and this and additional evaluations, excuse me, considerations, public input and research, like the updated sewer ability study and rural land management plan update, must be undertaken before we utilize this or any report to make the critical decisions we must about growth, if, when, and where. And that work should not be done before additional work is contemplated. We look forward to being part of the process moving forward. Thank you. Thank you very much. did anyone else wish to speak who didn't have a chance to sign up alright with that council I'll ask for a motion to adjourn motion to adjourn second all those in favor say aye alright we are adjourned have a happy safe Thanksgiving you
