So May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, a time set aside to inform, educate, and raise public awareness for communication disorders. This year's theme for Better Hearing and Speech Month is building a strong foundation. Protecting our hearing is at the very foundation of our overall health and ability to communicate with the world around us. With treatment, many communication disorders can be reversed or prevented. It's very important that we provide people with the care and resources they need to protect their hearing and speech. Marcy is the executive director of the Hearing and Speech Center, located here in Lexington. Founded in 1960, the Hearing and Speech Center is a non-profit agency and has served over 2,000 families in 70 Kentucky counties. Marcy, thank you very much for making it your mission to raise awareness about the importance of communication disorders. At this time, it's my pleasure to present this proclamation and then I'll ask Marcy if she'd like to say a few words. Okay. Whereas Better Hearing and Speech Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders, and whereas communication disorders affect nearly 50 million people in the United States, and whereas with early treatment, many communication disorders can be reversed or prevented. And whereas the Hearing and Speech Center was founded in 1960 when a group of parents approached Jimmy and Edie Frankel for their assistance in establishing a program to teach speech skills to children with hearing impairments. And whereas this nonprofit organization has over 60 years of experience working with infants, children, and adults with hearing loss and or speech impediments, and whereas with a team of teachers, audiologists, and speech pathologists, the Hearing and Speech Center has provided sound beginnings to over 2,000 families from over 70 Kentucky counties, Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare May 2023 Better Hearing and Speech Month in Lexington. Thank you for all your work. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you for the proclamation and the opportunity to spend several hours with you all today. I'm proud to report that most of our council members got their hearing screen today, and they can hear. So that's good. Yay. I'm proud of you all for being with us. Thank you for that. And I have had the absolute honor of being part of the Hearing and Speech Center now for 22 years because I'm a family member first. My son has hearing loss, and we've been a family there for a very long time. And what I tell people is how lucky we are to live in Lexington, to have the resources that we do at our fingertips that we just take, I know many of us just take for granted. So thank you for being part of the Hearing and Speech Center. Thank you for being part of my life for 22 years. And we appreciate all the support from the council and from our Lexington community at large. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Do you want to have a picture of the council? Go ahead and bring that with you. Thank you. Mayor, do you mind if I just, right here. I just want to say a quick thank you to Marcy because I don't want her to have to stay till my council comment. So I just want to say thank you for doing the hearing screenings and for letting us experience that so we can let our constituents know about the services at the center. Thank you. Thank you. All right, next I would like to ask Silas House and Vice Mayor Wu to join me at the podium. Okay. We are honored tonight to be joined by Silas House. Silas is an Eastern Kentucky native who now lives in Lexington, adding a new chapter to our states and our city's rich literary history. He is a professor at Berea College, where he is the National Endowment for the Humanities Chair in Appalachian Studies. Silas is many things. A best-selling novelist, environmentalist, a film producer, and most recently, the 2023-24 Kentucky Poet Laureate. Silas' work beautifully centers on LGBTQ life in rural Appalachia, and I'm really delighted to have him with us tonight. I told him earlier the first book of his I ever read was Clay's Quilt. If you haven't read it, it is lovely. Yes. So with that, I want to read this proclamation, ask Silas if he has a few words, and then ask the vice mayor if he has a few words. Whereas Eastern Kentucky native and Lexington resident, Silas House, is a New York Times best-selling novelist, film producer, music journalist, and professor at Berea College, and whereas he has won numerous awards and recognitions, including the Duggins Prize and Appalachian of the Year, shining a positive spotlight on our Commonwealth, and whereas Silas has been a staunch and vocal advocate for LGBTQ plus Kentucky and writes compassionately and beautifully about queer Appalachians, and whereas he is serving as a judge for the, this is a big deal, of the National Book Award in Fiction, and has been named Kentucky's Poet Laureate for 2023. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare May 25, 2023 Silas House Day in Lexington. Thank you for all your gifts. I just want to say a quick thank you to all of you and to tell you how grateful I am to live in a city like Lexington where I feel welcomed and loved, A city where I can walk down the street and hear many different accents and languages. A place where I'm grateful to live in a city that has a mayor like Mayor Gorton and a vice mayor like Vice Mayor Wu. And city council members, especially my council member, Liz Sheehan, who care deeply about that diversity and about the arts. As an Eastern Kentuckian, I am particularly thankful that Lexington has for so long been a sanctuary for so many of us. It is truly a city of expats, and it has offered a sanctuary and a community. For me, a fellow Appalachian expats, a vibrant LGBT community, a faith community, and a riding community, for which I am forever grateful. So thank you for this recognition. It means more to me than I can say. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Let's hear from Vice Mayor Wu. Thank you, Mayor. It's never a good position to speak after a writer. One is eloquent as Sada's house. Your work, and when I say your work, I don't mean just your writing, but your work as a community leader really resonates with me because I think we both understand the intersection of identities. For me, being an immigrant, being an Asian American, being a Chinese American, and being a Kentuckian, all those identities are one identity. And so for you to really highlight not just LGBTQ culture and your own heritage and history, but also being an Appalachian and Kentuckian, all that stuff, it warms my heart to have you here. I was going to say you have big shoes to fill because you're following in the footsteps of Frank X. Walker and Crystal Wilkinson. But if anybody can do it, you can do it. I'm really, really proud of you and appreciate you. Awesome. Very nice. Shall we get a photo? Yeah. Thank you. means least. I would like Chief Wells and all of our EMTs, paramedics, come on up.

To our paramedics and EMTs, as well as all of our emergency medical professionals, thank you for the dedication and passion you have for your jobs and for our people. At this time, it's my pleasure to present this proclamation, And then I'll ask Chief Wells to say a few words, and if any of the others of you want to say a few words, you are welcome. Whereas emergency medical services are a vital public service, and whereas the dedicated EMTs and paramedics of the Lexington Fire Department provide aggressive emergency medical care and safe transportation to our residents and visitors of Lexington. And whereas Lexington Fire Department personnel are prepared to provide life-saving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I wanted to let folks know that Summer Nights in Suburbia Concert Series kicks off this week, tomorrow night, 7 o'clock, at Moondance, and I will be there to kick it off. I may even be dancing. And Southland Jamboree has its kickoff on Sunday at 6 p.m. with Tall Sound at Alika. We got a lot of music in the 10th, and the Southland pool looks awesome, and it opens tomorrow at 10 a.m., and happy Memorial Day to everybody and let's remember what it's all about on Memorial Day. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Fogle. Thank you, Mayor. So, it's the end of the school year and I was over in the 6th District and even though that's Council Member Gray's school, the students are definitely in 1st District coming from the east part of town and over in Winburn area. And so we decided to honor the teachers as an extended teacher appreciation. I have been working with the JAG class all year long and getting them prepared for employment and summer employment with Ms. Gerton is their teacher. And so we were there. Ms. Vivian Hodge, she catered the event. It was an awesome event, and so that's what those photos are. And we really had a really good day. So in honor of the teachers as well as the students still buckling down, trying to hold on to the last day. And tomorrow is senior day, so they'll be practicing for graduation, and I just wanted to honor them today. And so I always have a bittersweet announcement. So that's the good part. The second part is the unhoused in the first district and the issues that come with that. And so I'm asking the council to please be mindful and help me grow in this area. I am so compassionate about those who are unhoused. And we had some arrested, some cited, moved from 3rd and M Street in a public grass behind the Lex Tran. I'm not really, I'm feeling some emotions about that. Because what that does is, even when I talked to the chief, he said, well, we cited them. They can go to court and then figure it out. But the citing and the citation, most of them will not go back to court, which will then turn into a warrant. And then if they do go to court, then they have a fine. And they're already unhoused with no money. And I'm just asking for some compassionate care. And I'm not going to say I love the police. I like that they keep us safe. But I'm just going to ask tonight, I'm not calling anybody to the podium, could you please find some compassion? Just a conversation with them or asking them to move could have resulted in building a relationship with people that might not smell like you or look like you or live like you and us. Just some compassion for the people in the first district that have nowhere to go. We're working on a remedy, though, and so we'll bring it to council. And it was heartbreaking to find out how many people was arrested and cited for being on public space. Some were in the Lex Tran bus area, but most of them were. And so we have asked for the video of those arrests, And hopefully the police department will honor us and supply First District with those videos and that footage from Thursday until Monday. So it's a bittersweet announcement and my heart is hurting as the leader of the community. Thank you. Council Member Gray. Thank you, Mayor. Since tomorrow is the last day of school at Fayette County Public Schools, I want to salute all the graduates at Carter G. Woodson Academy House. Where? In the 6th District. They had their graduation proceedings this past Saturday, And I'm honored that six of my students are graduating in five from Booker T. Washington Intermediate Academy. So they were my babies, my elementary babies. And the top right, that is Jason Liam Acqua. He was the class valedictorian. He told me when he was in elementary school he was going to be a doctor. and that's exactly what he's going to do. So straight A's since, and how can you get over a 4.0? But kids are doing it these days, but congratulations to them. And next, we have the council intern, Rex. Rex is graduating from Frederick Douglass, houseware, 6th District. And he's attending, yes, he will be attending UK in the fall, and I just wish him well. He was definitely an asset to the council staff and to us as well. Next, while we didn't have council last week, you know I love our students. These are my students at Dixie Magnet Elementary School. I was invited to just listen to the students, love the students, and as you can tell, we were having fun. That same day, I also visited with all these schools are in the 6th District, you all. These are Mary Todd Elementary School 5th graders who I was dared that I was trying to flex on the students. and I said I can call anybody up. And they were like, call the mayor. So, and I was like, she'll pick up when I call. So what do I do? Put it on speaker and I push the mayor's number and I was like, please pick up, please pick up. And thankfully she picked up and said, hi friend of the sixth district. So thank you for picking up Mayor Gordon. They enjoyed it. And tomorrow I'll be speaking at their promotion, and I'm excited to see them again. And lastly, for everyone in the 6th District at Christ Center Church, there will be a summer fling vendor fair. If you have time, I hope that you stop by. It will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That's all I have. Thank you very much. Thank you. Are there any other announcements? All right. If not, I'll go to public comment, and we have one person signed up. And you know the rules. When you are at the podium, if you'll state your name and council district, please, and you'll have three minutes. Dottie Bean. Welcome. We'd like again tonight to comment on the surveillance cameras in Fayette County through the use of the public and private system of cameras that are being used by police to solve crimes and apprehend suspects. We have said several times that a walking and biking trail and park through our neighborhood is very dangerous, and a slaying a week or so ago proved that. Suspects have been arrested in the killing of a 19-year-old man and wounding of another. We read this morning that cameras at a nearby Circle K captured the crime on tape, and it occurred when a group of teens approached another group in a park near Summer Hill Drive. All were apparently armed, and one leader apparently asked to see the other leader's gun. We would definitely like to have more information about this crime from the police and also view the tape here in the council chambers. We have been wanting to see just how factual, how much factual information and solid evidence these tapes can provide or whether they are as hazy as a lot of other tapes shown in this chamber. However, if they will be used as evidence, we want to make sure the faces are recognizable and the crimes are readily apparent and we are satisfied that they're worth the money we're spending in equipment and time taken up, reviewing them and interpreting them. Have the courts ruled on their validity as evidence in crimes as well as the identities of any participants? And by the way, do we still have a group in the police department that tracks gang activities in Lexington? We're almost at the summer season, and I think we'd like to know that. Of the nine homicides so far this year, we'd also like to know how many have been gang-related. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I have no one else signed up, so it's time for a motion to adjourn. So moved. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Baxter. All those in favor, say aye. We are adjourned. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
