I close this hearing and we'll go to the next hearing. The next hearing is for reestablishing the downtown Lexington Management District. And we I will go ahead and open the hearing and we do not have anyone signed up to speak. But I'll ask if there's anyone in the public who wishes to speak to the reestablishment of the downtown Lexington Management District. All right, seeing no one, I'll declare this hearing closed. And the final public hearing is the Commonwealth of Kentucky Funds for Municipal Aid Program Mineral and Coal Severance Tax. And I'll go ahead and declare this meeting open and ask if there's anyone from the public who wishes to comment. All right, I see no one. So I'll go ahead and close the meeting. And that concludes our special public meetings. Next, we have public comment for items on the agenda. And this works the exact same way. You'll come to the podium, restate your name, your council district, and you'll have three minutes. And first is Alan McDaniel. And second is James McElroy. Welcome. Good evening. I'm here representing Downtown Lexington Partnership. We're in District 3. Wanted to take a moment and just ask you all if you would join us this weekend at Mayfest happening in the first district in Gratz Park. Last year we saw over 15,000 people join us. Looks like we're going to have great weather. So much of what makes Mayfest successful is because of what the council has supported us with in the past. And we really sincerely appreciate that. We've got two days of incredible programming with a very diverse lineup of 80 artisans from all around the region. And two solid days of programming on stage with programs ranging from the recital for the Chinese School of Dance students, a newly set up Christian rock band, and of course the signature finale of Mecca Dance Studio. The past funding from council and item 26 on the agenda that we're hoping you all will continue allows us to offer enhanced family friendly and fully free children's activities that even as a little bit of an older kid at heart are pretty fun. We offer a greatly enhanced bouncy house and obstacle course. If you've watched Nickelodeon, it reminds me of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It's pretty cool. We also offer a sand art station because of the extra funding where children can make a free gift for mom and airbrush tattoos. It's enjoyed by everybody. The weather that we're going to have won't hurt either. I expect a great attendance. We really appreciate all that you all do for us for this activity and I hope to see all of you all there. Thank you. Thank you, Alan. Next is James McElroy. Welcome. Hi, everyone. I'm James McElroy, District 10. I'm also a member of Living Streets Lexington, as Alice mentioned earlier, and as advocates for safe and lively streets, we're very excited to hear about the reading of the Vision Zero Resolution, Agenda Item 14, about committing to zero traffic fatalities in Lexington. Traffic deaths and serious injuries have too long been treated as an unfortunate consequence of our transportation systems, and I disagree with this sentiment. While accidents are human nature, changes to the system and structure make these deaths and serious injuries avoidable, and I am looking forward to a commitment to reducing those. I want to thank city staff for working on this resolution and thank council for considering it, and I hope for its passage. Thank you. Thank you. All right. There is no one else signed up for public comment for issues on the agenda, so that takes us to the second reading of ordinances, please. Item 1.

Council Member Gray. Thank you, Mayor. First of all, currently in the 6th District, we are initiating a project that has been a dream of mine, which is bringing the arts to the 6th District. And here is just a sneak peek of the project that the students at the police station are working on. And Tony waving. Students chose graduates of Bryan Station to include in the mural. Of those, one is Mayor Teresa Isaacs, Don Duncan Walters, who I both recognize. As you can see, there's Mayor Congressman Scotty Basler. That was the young man when he was in his basketball uniform at UK. And then to the left, that is Police Chief Weathers. To the residents of the 6th District and to the residents of Lexington, we are bringing art to the 6th District, and we are using our next generation of leaders, which has also been a dream and a goal for me in this position as Councilwoman. So thank you, LexArts. Thank you, Tony Wavy. And thank you to the great Bryan Station High School students and educators for helping me make a dream come true. And to also support those who have come before me and those who are on their way to making great things happen in our community. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Baxter. Thank you, Mayor. Several announcements. First, I would like to invite everybody to join the Mayor and I this Saturday at the Wellington Park Women's Garden for the celebration of 15 years. The program will be from 12 to 2 p.m. and we will be honoring a previous Councilmember in celebrating the women who have made that garden a success. I also wanted to make everybody aware of two public hearings that Fayette County Public Schools is getting ready to host. On Tuesday the 13th at 6 p.m. at Dunbar High School, the schools will be hosting a community conversation regarding their budget proposal. So it's just like the public hearing we had tonight about our budget, but the community is invited to have a conversation with Board Chair Tyler Murphy and Board Member Monica Mundy. They will be present to discuss the budget proposal. So next Wednesday, and this is based on a lot of calls that I've gotten to my office, I just wanted to make sure everybody was aware of this, the school board has been considering the district facility plan, their 2025 to 2029 district facility plan that includes all of their new builds and renovations and Lafayette has been a topic of great conversation with that plan. So they are having a public hearing as well at 530 on the 14th at the John D. Price Administrative Building, and that is at 450 Park Place. So I encourage anybody who has interest in that plan, they have approved a draft and this will be the public hearing for that, and then they'll vote on the plan to send to the Kentucky Department of Education after that for approval. So if you have something to say, go say it. And then I just did get confirmation while we were sitting here that the Shillito Tennis and Pickleball Complex will be opening on the 21st at 5 p.m. and I look forward to us all playing an inaugural game of our choosing. So hope to see you guys there. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Council Member Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to congratulate Voices of Hope on celebrating 10 years, and I remember getting a phone call from Ms. Elzey when they decided that they were going to move to their current location, and I shared all of the concerns that I had and I shared all of the concerns that I knew the neighbors were going to have. But I think not only do they provide a valuable service to our community, but they also work very hard to be good neighbors, and I appreciate all the work they do. I'd also like to just congratulate and give some credit to Heather Lyons and all the work she put into the Birth to Hope public art project out at the corrections facility. When I served on the Public Arts Commission and that location was selected, I had some questions about the visibility and if that was good to be the first big project. But after seeing the unveiling yesterday and all the impact that it's having to the folks that work at corrections, the people that travel that corridor, and the residents that are there at that facility, I think it was the perfect place. I think we picked the perfect artist and he delivered the perfect piece of art to get us started in public art. And then Chief Colvin, I asked him who his speech writer was. He delivered a pretty motivating and excellent speech yesterday. It was strong, and it was the right words at the right time. The other thing I'll say, and this week has been a busy week, I think it's Correction Officers Week and it's International Firefighters Week, but I keep getting reminded at home that it's also Nurses Appreciation Week. So I just want to say to the Mayor and all the nurses and especially my wife that we appreciate all the nurses and all the hard work they do in working with patients and serving our community. And Commissioner Alan Bryant. Any other nurses in here that I might miss? No, I just want to say, just share my appreciation and thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Morton. Thank you. So first I'd like to start, just a reminder that the Green Acres Hollow Creek Breckenridge Neighborhood Association meeting is going to meet this upcoming Monday at 6pm at the Green Acres Shelter. At the same time, the Northside Neighborhood Association is going to meet this upcoming Monday at 507 North Broadway. So I look forward and my staff looks forward to seeing y'all there. Starting off with this presentation, so I want to give a special shout out and a thank you to the University of Kentucky students and Professor Phillips for a year-long project that shined a necessary light on what many of us in D1, in District 1, have been saying for years. Their research gave voice to the truth and that is our historic African American communities have been sounding the alarm on gentrification. And today, their research highlighted this challenge in depth, both they presented to myself and the planning department. But they went a step further. They demanded and reminded us that there should be a response and that we need to invest. Not just financial investment, but cultural investments. It's about trust, connection, and preserving history and identity that builds, that has built these neighborhoods. What we need now are solutions, not excuses, not delays, and not more reasons why we can't. And the time is now. So I look forward to working towards those solutions, aiming to combat gentrification and prevent displacement in our most vulnerable neighborhoods. And that's the group of the UK students that presented to myself and then to the planning staff as well. And that's, I mean, just so many different professions and backgrounds, I would say. And then moving on. So yesterday, it was an honor to attend a great ceremony for the UK students. So thank you to the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, both the undergrad chapter and the graduate chapter, and the Lyric Theater for having the courage and conviction to host the UK Senior Salute. When others backed away under pressure, you stepped forward to affirm what we know to be true. Our students belong, and all students belong. There's a deep irony in the fact that the Lyric, originally created because black Lexingtonians were shut out of other entertainment venues, is now hosting a graduation celebration because minority students were again excluded under different terms. But let it be known, you belong in every space. You belong at every table, even if the people at the table don't look like you. And if they won't make room for you, just bring a folding chair. And that's what was stated, so I wanted to instill that and to keep going. And that was at the Lyric yesterday. As noted earlier this week, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week, alongside with many other weeks, as noted by Council Member Brown, and I'm proud to celebrate the teacher at LTMS Middle School, where we were able to provide them with a lunch just to show our support for them, and Ms. Hodge with V's Catering always hooks us up with those. So to our teachers, you are the heart of our schools, mentors, motivators, and role models shaping the future for our city. This week and every week, we thank you for your dedication, your patience, and your impact. This is just a small gesture to recognize a big commitment. You are seen, you are valued, and you are deeply appreciated. And then lastly, May 10th at 1 p.m., the Georgetown Street Area Neighborhood Association is hosting a Mother's Day luncheon at the O'Rear Center in Douglas Park. So they said they're going to feed up to 100 people, so come on out, and I look forward to seeing you there. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Beasley. Thank you, Mayor. So let's see what's going to be up there first. This week, we had the honor of feeding dinner to the Third Shift Corrections Officer for National Corrections Officer Week. I really appreciate the departments and offices that have welcomed us into their family. It means a lot to a new council member to have that kind of support that's us there on a Monday night feeding those hardworking third shifters. Last night, this is SWAG. This past Saturday had a Mother's Day celebration for the moms who are survivors of gun violence. They all lost a child to gun violence. Those are the Tate Creek High School Joy of Africa dancers who provided their entertainment up there. They're an amazing group. We have a video. If anybody wants to see it, just email the office. And lastly, last night we had our first 8th districtwide meeting. It was very productive, and I'd like to take just a minute to thank Vice Mayor Wu and Torrey for coming and teaching us about the Lexington Preservation and Growth Management Program as well as Council Member Brown and Craig from the Mayor's Office for coming and hanging out with us and supporting us for our first meeting. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Hale. Thank you, Mayor. This is the last reminder about the upcoming districtwide meeting next Monday, May 12th from 6 to 7 p.m. at Edith J. Hayes. And we're going to be having that in the cafeteria. I hope that all my neighbors will be able to come out and join us. We look forward to hearing from your insight. We will be welcoming special guests from the Division of Planning, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Lexington Police Department. They'll be providing important updates and will be available to answer your questions directly. This meeting is open to all residents of District 7, and I look forward to a productive and engaging conversation with you next week. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. All right. We have no one signed up for the final public comment, so I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. All right. All those in favor say aye. Aye. We are adjourned. Thank you for coming. Chuck, real quick.
