So here's a breakdown to more easily understand how we allocated our projects. Those top three categories, parks and recreation, affordable housing, and premium pay, total about 55% of the total grant project. So those other categories round up to about 45%. We received our funds in 2021. At the end of 2023, we had completed 39 projects. 2024 was our biggest year. We were still working to ensure that all of our allocations were aligned with projects that we could accomplish meeting the grant requirements and deadlines. So we were still reallocating some funds. In October 2024, one year ago, we reached $100 million expensed. And we reached 100% obligated in November, the following month, one month ahead of the Department of Treasury's obligation deadline. We spent $36 million in 2024 and completed 27 projects. In 2025 through August, we spent an additional $12 million and completed 11 more projects. December 31, 2026 is the Treasury's deadline to be fully expensed. So we maintained a commitment to allocating funds to one-time expenditures. Almost $79 million went towards various types of projects that resulted in capital improvements. Some of those in capital improvements were projects that LFUCD did retain, but plenty of projects went to benefit residents directly, like Solarize Lexington or the code enforcement grants, as well as our community partners. New models and leveraging investment. ARPA funds started the first phase of the ADA transition plan, and we currently are working on the second phase. We had a couple of successful new grant programs. $400,000 dedicated to code enforcement grants reached 51 low-income homeowners. Capital grants were awarded to 23 non-profit community partners, funding 45 different projects. Those projects included facility improvements and operational investments. ARPA also funded several design phases that led to the next phase of the project. Coldstream Industrial Park received $10 million of HUD funding. TAP funding is supporting future phases of Brighton Trail and Harrodsburg Road shared-use trail. Construction was funded for the Town Branch Trail over by the Manchester-Forbes Road area and Phoenix Park. Both of those are constructed and open now. The $17 million investment in affordable housing projects leveraged another $106 million from private sector investors, government resources, and developer equity. Our parks. $31 million invested into parks and that helped us achieve more than I think we ever could have imagined. Goals and objectives of the Parks Master Plan. Sports courts were improved at 13 parks. Major development and redevelopment activities occurred at 7 facilities. 6 parks had trail improvements. Playgrounds were improved at 10 parks. Maintenance needs were addressed at more than 13 facilities. All 6 aquatic centers received improvements. We invested $17 million in affordable housing. ARPA funds were allocated to 10 different projects, all of which are fully expensed. The construction of all but 2 projects are complete now. The 83 units still under construction are at the Flats at Woodland and Wellington Parks Apartments, which are scheduled to open in the spring of 2026. On the right, you can see how the 696 units achieved with ARPA funds reached various populations in our community. More than half serve households with incomes at or below 50% AMI and more than half also serve senior populations. 8 units are serving individuals with severe mental illness and 45 are ADA accessible. We spent about $10 million towards homelessness support, which included a wide variety of projects. I won't go into too much detail because I know you just had an in-depth presentation, but the ARPA funds itself covered the transitional housing pilot program that uses scattered site model to services for families and individuals with pets from winter warming services to greenhouse 17 operational support to the HOPE Center's transitional housing project. It included three years of the innovative and sustainable solutions to homelessness fund and those funds helped us expand street outreach, provided additional winter shelter projects, it included the racial equity analysis of the homelessness response system, a communications and marketing strategy, and subsidized end-user licenses for the homeless management information system. $25 million was invested in LFUCG employees in different ways. Almost $7 million towards the Department of Social Services salaries. For example, the $6 million allocation you can find in the project list supported 119 full-time employees. Premium pay reached 1,903 employees and supplemental pay reached an additional 952 employees with a combined total of $16.9 million. Our administrative costs to the grant totaled only about $1.3 million and for perspective, the de minimis rate when ARPA started was 10% so we could have charged close to $12 million. We kept our costs low leaving more funds for the community. That said, there are so many employees who have worked on ARPA in some way, shape, or form and they're the reason why we are at 97% expense today. I share my presentation with staff ahead of this presentation itself and included over 20 different staff members who were fairly involved in ARPA but just for some scope, the Cardinal Run project is our biggest ARPA project and I asked Michael this morning how many people he thought worked on that and they estimated 25 to 30 people touched that project. Thank you to the ARPA network of employees who have made this possible. Alright, now we're in the home stretch. We're about $3.6 million dollars left. We have a goal to expense our funds by September 30, 2026 ahead of the deadline. We're working to close out the remaining park projects. We just celebrated Cardinal Run and Douglas Aquatic Center. Picadome Pickleball Courts and Carver Window Replacements are both done as well. The Valley Park Neighborhood Center the ARPA funds are expensed and that project is coming soon. We are working to get these projects fully expensed. The payee program under OPI is being executed by the Division of Community Resident Services and now has under $10,000 left to spend. The Cold Stream design phase continues to work alongside the construction of the Legacy Business Park which started this summer. Brighton Trail and Harrodsburg Road Trail projects are on track. Brighton should close in early 2026 and Harrodsburg Road will likely be our last project to close. Alright, so what's ahead? We're going to expense all these projects ahead of the deadline. We're also going to organize and make sure all of our records are in place for any future audits. We're going to continue our quarterly and annual reporting and then we're going to submit the final closeout of the grant when that option becomes available. And then the last two slides are for information only. I wanted to share some of the impact of the projects. This really was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I think we did a good job reaching a lot of parts of the community and spreading it in a lot of different ways. I'll be working to make sure that the impact is told over the next couple years. Thank you. Thank you so much. And thanks to the team that's worked all these years. Councilmembers, do you have questions for Hillary? Councilmember Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I don't have any questions. I just want to say thank you to Hillary for the presentation but then also thank you to the CAO's office. I think Sally and her team have done a great job of focusing on getting this money out and spent. One of the most impressive things about it is the map and where we were able to get investment all across this community in a variety of ways. I'd be remiss if I didn't say something about Commissioner Ford in Park and Recreation who have done an excellent job of doing maintenance projects in addition to new projects in our parks. I think it was 31 projects total. 31 million dollars. Lots of projects. It's just a blessing to have all that money expensed in the way that it has. And then Rick, I know he's here. I've said this before and I'll just reiterate it again. The fact that I think Rick, you focused all of the ARPA funding on housing that was 60% AMI or below is exactly where I think we needed to focus that spending in regards to affordable housing. To get that money expensed at that target price point for folks in our community is just impressive. I just want to say kudos to everybody that's making that investment in our community possible. I know we were ahead of schedule and look forward to closing out the rest of that money. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you for answering questions for Hillary. Thank you so much. We're very excited about the progress over all these past few years. Thanks. Now we have Councilmember Sheehan's addition to the presentations which is the code. Do you want to speak to that? Councilmembers, as I detailed earlier, this was an item that was in our Social Services and Public Safety Committee earlier this year but postponed to now for our Council discussion for moving it to the docket. The original item was co-sponsored by Councilmember Gray who is no longer in office. It's a little bit atypical for us to be having a conversation now without the original sponsor. I did send around a hard copy of the ordinance changes that she had recommended that came out of committee. I have one amendment that I would like to make. Mayor, would you like me to make that motion now or would you like other discussion on the item first? I think since you already moved to put it on the agenda, we could take an amendment. You'll see in the document that I sent around there were two sections that Councilmember Gray had proposed to edit. It was section 12.2 which is the nuisance section and then 12-5 which was related to fines and timelines for fines. I am recommending removal of a portion of section 12-2. I'm going to read this motion as given to me from the Law Department. I move to amend the ordinance amending sections 12-2C and 12-5 of the Code of Ordinances related to graffiti, the reduction of time between citations and the calculation of subsequent civil penalties and the assessment of administrative costs involving inspections in an amount not to exceed $250 currently I move the amendments to section 12-2C which would have added graffiti as a public nuisance health hazard or source of filth. So moved. Second. Councilmember Baxter, did you second? Now, is there discussion about the amendment? I see none. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? And now we also must move the ordinance as amended to the council docket. I also move to place the ordinance as amended on the council meeting docket for Thursday, October 23rd. Vice Mayor Wu seconds. Any questions? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? Thank you very much. Council reports. Councilmember Lynch. Thank you, Mayor. I have several announcements because the second district is bustling in October but first I would like to start off by giving a big thank you to our first responders, our police department, our fire department and our One Lexington team for responding. I had two shootings in my district this past weekend and so I'm very appreciative of your work and your service to our community and helping my neighbors this past weekend. Additionally, I'd like to thank One Lexington for doing their neighborhood engagement walks both yesterday and then there's another one planned tomorrow. So thank you for your work and your service and I know that working together we can continue to make positive improvements around gun violence in our community. Next, I would like to just go through all of my announcements. There's a lot of them. So first, Black Soil is hosting a pumpkin patch in their neighborhood market on Florence Avenue. So for the next three weeks, stop by Black Soil to get a free pumpkin. I think they're going to have lots of other goodies at the market as well besides the free pumpkin.

Council Member LaGrie. Thank you, Mayor and Council Member Hale. One of my constituents went out walking and sent me photos of those trees all dressed up in crochet and they were like, this is so magical. So I hope more people get out and check them out in person. They're already getting some great reactions. I mainly want to say welcome to my new legislative aide, Raina Slaymaker. Raina is in the back and you all will all be meeting Raina in the weeks to come, but I'm really glad to have her in the 3rd District and in our office and I know that she'll do good work for our constituents and our community. So welcome, Raina. Glad to have you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Morton. Thank you, Mayor. I think I've got a couple photos, possibly. This week I attended the grand opening of Dr. Carolyn Dunn's new wellness concept, Condition While You Condition. This innovative space features a mini gym designed for clients to do light cardio or weight lifting while conditioning their hair. Literally generate their own heat. This initiative created in partnership with Project Ricochet is an inspiring example of how health and beauty can come together to promote a stronger, healthier 1st District. So it was an honor to attend that right in the heart of our city. Moving on, tomorrow, please join me and many others at African American Cemetery No. 2 for their Tree Week event. Stories About Trees. The dedication will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. at 419 East 7th Street. This special event will honor the heritage and tell stories, excuse me, will honor heritage, storytelling, and our shared environmental commitment. I hope to see you there. And lastly, just a friendly reminder, Green Acres Neighborhood Association, friends and family, mark your calendar for October 31st from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Green Acres Shelter. Join us for an evening of fun, community celebration while we do a Trunk or Treat. So, that is it. Thank you. Council Member Ellinger. Thank you, Mayor. As I think most of y'all are aware, it's our 250th birthday and I had the privilege last night to go to the Kentucky Theater and watch the presentation that KET put together that was about three and a half years in the making. And they did two hours of the history of Lexington and that was kind of B.C. before Chuck all that happened. But the third hour is going to be and if you missed it, you can catch it now on Monday on KET at 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock. I'll watch the third hour. But it was excellent. My neighborhood friend, Josh Hopkins narrated and did an amazing job. I text Josh this morning and congratulated him on it. His sister, Shea Hopkins, who was the executive director of KET, didn't know that Josh was actually going to be doing the narrating on it. But he said, I learned so much and if you attended it, which was a full house there and I learned so much about Lexington, I think it actually should be a requirement for high school students to learn about Lexington. It was very informative. I look forward to Monday at 8 to 11 to watch it again and watch the third hour. And Mayor, I know you were there and it was excellent. I hope everybody has an opportunity to see it. The third hour might talk about the pandemic. Council Member Higgins-Horde. Thank you, Mayor Gordon. Tonight, Eastland Parkway Neighborhood Association will hold its annual meet and greet on Monday, which is today. Well, actually not today. At 5.30 p.m. at Christ Center Church at Eastland Parkway. This is always a big family friendly community event with food, games, and door prizes. I will be attending along with several LFUCG divisions and community leaders. Everyone is encouraged to come out and enjoy this fun evening together. We also have the six district wide meeting. Please join me for the final six district meeting of 2025. It will be taking place on Wednesday, October the 22nd at 6 p.m. in the Bryan Station High School Cafeteria located at 201 Easton Road. Doors will be opening at 5.30. This is an excellent opportunity to meet your neighbors and to talk with me. Mayor Gordon, Linda Gordon will also be in attendance and several LFUCG division leaders and teams will be in attendance to share updates from their departments. We will close the meeting with time for community questions and discussions. I look forward to seeing everyone on October the 22nd. Thank you. Council Member Brown. Thank you, Mayor. I know next week we're going to have our fund balance discussion at the BFED committee, so I have a motion to make that committee meeting a committee of the whole. So the motion carries. I move to make the October 21, 2025 Budget Finance and Economic Development Committee meeting scheduled at 1 p.m. a meeting of the committee of the whole. So moved. Council Member Curtis seconded. Any questions? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right, that motion passes. Thank you. Anyone else?

I'm Neal Noah and welcome to Lexington Now for the week of October 13th, 2025. Lexington's largest new regional park in decades is now open. We were there for the ribbon cutting. So here we are, 18 years after this land was generously donated to the community. And two years after we broke ground, officially opening Cardinal Run Park North. With nearly 140 acres, Cardinal Run Park North is the largest park we have opened in over 25 years. Together with Cardinal Run South, which I think is in Councilmember Savignee's district, the combined public park land here now spans nearly 200 acres. Lexington's fifth largest regional park. Not only does Cardinal Run North offer beautiful natural spaces, it features a large playground, which you are facing, a dog park, pickleball courts, and a basketball court. And there are things like picnic shelter, paved shared-use trail, and coming next year, four multiplex fields. This is all about quality of life for people in Lexington. Our parks are filled with opportunities for residents and visitors alike to get outside, to enjoy the beauty of Lexington, and to be active. It's an honor to be here today as we celebrate the official opening of Cardinal Run Park North. This project has been decades in the making, and that long journey makes today's ribbon cutting even more exciting. We've reached this milestone thanks to the hard work of our dedicated parks team, the commitment of our Mayor Gordon, and the support from current and previous urban county councils. Crucially, we owe the deepest gratitude to our community members and stakeholders, many of whom live right here in the 12th District, whose input shaped every element of this special design. The 12th District is defined by its beautiful green spaces, and this park perfectly blends the natural with the built environment. Cardinal Run Park North is far more than just adding acreage to our system of parks. It is a vital investment in the quality of life for our entire community. The park directly addresses the need for active recreation, providing a fantastic new regional hub that will bring the neighbors together and encourage healthy activities for families, residents, and visitors alike. I speak on behalf of the entire 12th District when I say it's truly an honor to have such an innovative regional park here in the 12th. The parks team did a spectacular job honoring the natural features, ensuring this space remains beautiful and functional for generations to come. Free open spaces are really what residents want to connect with nature, with their friends, with family, have their pets use those great new two dog parks back there, and it's the best thing that we can do for our own health and wellness. Since it's connected Cardinal Run South, I really do, the people that are over there are going to be over here as well, so I'm really excited about that. We partnered with Fayette County Public Schools, Girls Who Game, to create an inclusive, accessible Cardinal Run North vision utilizing Minecraft, and I think we've got at least one member of that team here with us today. We met with neighborhood stakeholders in Wesley Heights, Kentucky Mountain Biking Association, who was with us from the start, and multiple LFUCG divisions to get us to opening a park that involved environmental services and water quality and streets and roads, traffic engineering. A lot of different folks had to have input on bringing this to life. The park will not just serve today's families, but it's going to serve future generations of Lexingtonians, and it reflects our commitment to healthy living, outdoor activity, and community connection. Okay, three, two, one. Woo! The Lexington Fire Department announced their newest junior fire chief in a ceremony at Sandersville Elementary. So the junior fire chief program started long before I came on the fire department, but I took it over in 2018, and I will say that this year is the most essays and posters that we've had submitted by students. So thank you for involving yourself and challenging yourself to do this. So one more round of applause for the other students. We use the acronym for SHARKS, self-sufficient, hardworking, A-plus attitude, respectful kindness, and we know that they will be a roadmap to success. Jillian is a student who shines in all of these areas. She consistently works hard on any task that is put in front of her. She's detail-oriented and wants to make sure that the things she does, she does it the right way.
