that you got from the community regarding this zone change council member there were some questions from uh nearby property owners about the uses of the property the planning commission does recommend restricted zoning for this which includes uh prohibiting bars and private clubs and that sort of thing the planning commission is recommending that and I believe that was satisfactory to the to the to the people who were speaking about that then there was one other issue not related to the zone change it was about the property line and and where that is located the planning commission heard testimony about that from an adjacent property owner and an attorney but decided but but agreed that those were private matters that needed to be worked out elsewhere thank you with that um I'll move

us to new business and i'll entertain a motion thank you council member baxter council member reynolds seconds please log in if you have questions all right council member sheehan thank you mayor um i wanted to just ask for a brief description of item e that's for the one lexington crisis response mediators so you could inform the community of what this is being used for welcome divine um so the crisis response mediators are those who we deploy anytime there is a shooting incident um we had four for about the last three years and we just added a fifth one all five of them have unique connections to different parts of the city and so if there's a shooting that happens in a specific neighborhood we want to deploy an outreach advocate that already has a connection in that neighborhood um this just isn't fatal shootings this just isn't injury shootings but even when a house gets shot up and nobody is injured we deploy this advocate their job ranges from connecting families with resources to possibly even mediating a conflict sometimes they'll show up and be on the scene as soon as the shooting happens sometimes it might be an incident that doesn't get to our attention until a couple of days after the fact and once we get some more information then we'll deploy them and so they've been really big and kind of connecting us to families in different parts of the community but then also mitigating a lot of retaliatory violence so in a nutshell that's kind of their job and could you just talk a little bit about any type of training that the mediators have yes so they have quite a bit of training in and our training is a little bit different than other cities just because the realities that we deal with here are a little bit different so for example two out of the last three years about a third of our homicides were domestic violence related and so bystander awareness training is a must not just for our crisis response advocates but even our volunteers they're trained in conflict resolution restorative justice practices gang prevention mental health first aid compassion fatigue as well as bystander awareness training okay thank you thank you mayor thank you councilmember ellinger thank you mayor k as in kentucky welcome director burton welcome director uh could you explain to me what's going on on that that shared use path so it's going to be a 12-foot path or we and where are we at in the phase we're just right now in the design phase is that my understanding correct this will connect to the existing path that's on armstrong mill now and then take it all the way out to squires lane um on the south side of the roadway and yes it'll be so is it just is it going only going to be on one side is it's just the north side and because and it looks like that it's there there is a path that goes over to central parkway i think that's right right it'll connect to that exist it'll be on the other side of the of the road to connect to that one so the goal is to make a complete system that will tie into the sidewalks that we constructed probably three years ago on the other end of armstrong mill so that bikes and peds will be able to get all the way from tate's creek to out to the squires trail perfect what's the time frame on that hopefully we're in design now our goal is to get through that for the rest of this year start the right away the right away will probably take a year-ish uh fingers crossed um and then we'll start construction in probably early 2027 thank you thank you mayor thank you council member morton thank you i will start with um just letter r um and just for the knowledge of the public and for castlewood neighborhoods specifically could you just please talk about this project and what's coming um however you want to put it yeah my name is ben cornet with environmental services so this is a green space trust project and it is out of 642 to 650 east loudon avenue that area consists of six vacant lots that were acquired by lfucg for flood mitigation projects and now it is a detention basin is currently being turf mode green space trust proposed to create a pollinator garden plant trees install benches bike racks and educational signage so we're here today over the encroachment agreement with columbia gas to allow us to install those so we've had three outreach events since june of 2024 the upcoming installation will be the three benches in the two bike racks it's going to be basically to benefit water quality and provide a usable space for the neighborhood great i appreciate you thank you i look forward to seeing it seeing the project and then just my next items are for item e and i for one lexicon cool um just to start um i know that council member shian asked about the trains and all the different things so can we go i guess um i just want to walk through the roles and responsibilities so if we had a gun a gunshot victim or a shooting take place talk me through it they come and then just talk me through it sure so it depends on where it's at um the demographic of the victim and that'll determine who we deploy so for instance we have an advocate who's born and raised and currently lives in east end we have one born and raised currently involved in the west end area we have two latino advocates one that lives in the cardinal valley area and then we have one who works extensively with the judges and within the school system so depending on if it's a male or female victim will inform who we deploy if it's a gunshot victim in the east end area we're going to deploy our advocate who lives and grew up in the east end area the reason being they may have connections with those who've been affected and possibly even if this is a beef or a conflict he may have connections with both sides so that gives him the ability or her the ability to maybe mitigate a conflict once they connect with the family that's been directly affected their job is to connect them with resources whether that's mental health whether that's relocation maybe they want to get wonder why they can't get their car because maybe it was part of the shooting incident and now it is evidence and so just things of that nature okay cool so then let's kind of let's talk about the payment structure so why was this specific payment structure chosen the bi-weekly payments in general i guess i i think just kind of like any other job just wanted to ensure their consistency we wanted it to be congruent to our payment schedule nothing too deep okay cool did we ever consider like making it based on maybe like per time they go out to a a scene rather than bi-weekly so like for instance so and i don't let's do the north side of town let's do green acres let's say that that this crisis response or this area does not receive a lot of gun violence calls and then we may not have to use this crisis responder the whole month or two months what i guess will be the reason for paying them bi-weekly if we're not if they're not in use being used in that way sure so and i didn't want to get too much in the weeds of the totality of our work but our crisis response advocates don't just respond to gun violence incidents so uh give you a prime example yesterday and council member lynch was with us we did a neighborhood engagement walk in an area that was recently affected by gun violence all of our crisis response advocates routinely attend those they're also a part of our in-school mentoring program they also volunteer during the summer and sometimes if there's other one lexington events or engagements they are a part of those and so even though their primary function is to respond to a gun violence incident they're pretty active consistently throughout the week so we just felt that bi-weekly payment schedule was will work thank you thank you council member baxter thank you mayor um is someone from water quality here i have a question about f hello mr lubeck i'm just curious if this project is completed i know we've it's been you know kind of dragging on a bit i just was curious if this was just for restoration of this this is just for restoration they've already done it and then we felt if the horses came back it would just destroy what was done because it isn't well enough established so keep the horses off of it for a few more months this will take the grass get established and this will take us through the end of the year uh yeah four more months yes okay okay um thank you and then i have a question about thank you and then i have a question about item l someone from police this is about the traffic safety program grant hello commander just curious if this is um i think this is a grant that we apply for annually correct yes ma'am and uh does this specific program um have requirements like specific requirements is it for duis is it for like what part of targeted enforcement would it be so the goal of the program is to reduce fatalities injuries and property damage we do that through a data driven approach which focuses on speeding dui enforcement as well as seat belts which are known to be the primary drivers of fatalities and injuries okay and is this the amount of the grant is it consistent with what it's been in the past yes okay great thank you so much thank you mayor all right thank you council member morton um this wouldn't be for item i this time my apologies i ran out of time the last one and then it's just literally the same lane of questions it's like start off with the kind of the roles and responsibilities and what this person would do um for item i the survivor led yeah so this this came out of our strategic planning session um obviously all three of us have been directly affected by gun violence in some way but none of us even though i've lost a child larry has lost a father or a foster child none of us have lost a child to gun violence and so the community has been telling us for a little over a year that we need a survivor on the team also when we look at survivor-led organizations across the city we think there could be a little bit more synergy and so we wanted to get somebody on our team somebody that we work with maybe not on a consistent basis but somebody who could help bring synergy to the survivor community but then also better inform anything that we do that has to do with survivors and so i think we try our best to listen to the survivor community but having somebody on your team is something that the community said that they wanted and so that's the reason we're bringing that liaison on okay cool yeah um all right and then similar to the same question like with the with the flow it was a what was the thought to not bring them in-house and not have them like um yeah and as an in-house employee rather than just a professional service agreement um i think part of that is is the budgeting right and and two um we kind of like to pilot things and just see how it goes um instead of bringing a person in when they're um there is no history of a position like this in city government right and so we want to make sure that we're building this responsibly and the goal one day is to not only have positions for a survivor person but then also even our crisis response advocates those should be full-time positions but i think we have to build this and work our way to that point um and then obviously the budget as well which we're trying to grow responsibly okay cool cool um direct services wise what would this liaison provide so i think the first thing is that synergy piece like there's a lot of different pockets people doing incredible work in the community but kind of like we've done with gun violence prevention i think somebody could come in somebody trusted um that could come in and pull all of those different survivor-led organizations together see what they could do in partnership um maybe see where some things are getting replicated that don't need to be just to get the best outcomes for survivors but then also if we do have a homicide instead of our crisis response advocates reaching out it would be our survivor liaison who will have that experience of losing a loved one to gun violence and they would be the ones to make first contact and then they will partner with one of our crisis response advocates to deploy any more resources that the family might need okay cool cool and then lastly um just tied to qualifications and trainings what specifically were you looking for other than just um being a survivor what what specific trainings and qualifications were y'all looking for so they'll go through all of um the survivor they'll go through all the trainings that our crisis response advocates go through um also we're going to get them connected with the survivor network with cities united and so they'll be coming to the cities united convening with us there's a national network of survivor-led organizations doing incredible work i believe tanya lindsey with swag is in that network as well um and then also to double back to your previous question when we really think about it crisis response advocates are different i'm not sure that we definitely need a full-time survivor person in the city um because i think we got well-qualified survivor-led organizations that are already out there but i think the city having that liaison to make sure that any opportunities that exist within the city like funding um anything like that that person is constantly in touch with the survivors on the ground that are already doing the work so there's no need to rush to um a position with the city and i think because of the restraints in city government i think some of the things that survivor-led organizations can do um create better outcomes for survivors so um your next question did i answer that good thank you all right thank you councilmember lynch thank you mayor and my question is for a regarding item i again the survivor survivor liaison and my only question is um was the rfp process done in order to um vet and choose this vendor no um it was not and the reason we didn't do that is it was below the threshold so we didn't have to do an rfp but then also we wanted to target somebody we wanted to use our professional discretion um the feedback from the community to target somebody specific this just isn't a nine to five type of job that is built on um your education qualifications or your experience this is a very very unique position and so we needed somebody that not obviously had that lived experience but then also understands the work um we were really careful because this is gun violence prevention and so we wanted to make sure that we chose somebody who had great relationships with other people within the survivor community and so a person could pass all the qualifications or write a beautiful rfp um but they might not have um the personal connections or the relationships to do the job adequately so we leaned on our professional discretion to choose somebody thank you thank you all right thank you does anyone else have questions all right all those in favor of new business please say aye anyone opposed all right that passes thank you we do have communications from the mayor appointments i'll entertain a motion vice

through the american jail association this is a goal that uh we've been um that we saw that we we saw was possible and we've been chasing for uh quite a while it's one of three national records that i records it's one of three national performance um thresholds that we achieved this uh this year our uniforms were put um were nominated for best dress to public safety uniforms in the corrections

taught me um you're only as good as your training and we used it as a foundational driver uh to try to achieve a positive culture change at the jail that we're still we're still working on will always be working on so it has proven our our data shows us that the retention is better for officers that have sought this certification taken the challenge and um and passed the exam so um our recruit training goes into our field training officer program goes into the probationary period at the end of the probationary period we challenge our officers and offer them the opportunity to sit for this national exam and test their skill set across the united states and we find that as they enter the permanent officer force that gives us an officer that's confident with a demonstrated skill set which is always safer and with uh the trust that their leadership will develop them well congratulations on this achievement and um my thanks to you for your leadership and the rest of your leadership team
