Congratulations on all your good work. Congratulations. So, would you like to say a few words? Would you like to say a few words? All right. All right. We're going to hear a good few words. First, the right reverend. It's dangerous to ask a preacher to say a few words. Oh, we have a timer. You've learned your lesson. Well, Mayor, thank you so much for this proclamation. And we have so many wonderful memories of our time of service here in the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington and with so many other communities beyond the Episcopal Church values, its relationships with other communities of faith, and those of none as we work together for a better Lexington, in our case, a better bluegrass and eastern Kentucky as our diocese stretches all the way to Ashland and down to Middlesboro. So it's been my great privilege and honor to serve here as bishop with this wonderful group of people and with this wonderful community. Thank you so much. Thank you. Helen, would you like to say a few words? thank you this is so fun and I can't wait for our kids to see that there's a day to celebrate the VK day yay thank you so much it's been maybe you heard that we came I know you're going to guess where I came from but we actually came from Mozambique in Africa directly to the US about, well, 10 years ago now, 10 and a half years ago. And to be in Lexington has been really wonderful. I wish I'd got out more, but that's my patch there where St. Ralph was is on Parker's Mill Road. And you're all very welcome to come on Sunday. We have a big party. I don't know what else to say. I've met some wonderful people here, been involved in our community around the church there in Greater Gardenside. and with BUILD and all sorts of things around Lexington. And it's been a wonderful learning time for me too. And there's so many wonderful people here to serve that are serving. Thank you. That's wonderful. Thank you very much. So at this time, I'd like to invite Council Member Savigny to say a few words. Thank you very much, Mayor. I just want to take a moment to thank both Bishop Mark and Reverend Helen, who's my priest at St. Raphael's, with sharing one part of their lives and their ministry with the Diocese of Lexington. Both of them actually are constituents of the 10th, so I like that. And Helen actually just recently became a citizen, so she actually, I believe, voted for me in the last election, which is great. But anyway, they both came here. Mark started in the Peace Corps. They both came through their ministries in Great Britain, and then they heeded the call to Mozambique and lived there for 20 years and made huge impacts there. I want to thank them so much for their ministries. They came to Lexington. They have now earned, I think, a great Sabbath, and I hope they have a nice, long and faithful, safe Sabbath. Mark does have a motorcycle, so I hope that Helen does not ride with Mark on his motorcycle. Thank you both so much. That's great. Let's get a photo with Council. And then you guys are done with the photo. After the photo of Robin Allman. Thank you. Thank you. All right. The next item on our agenda is public comment for issues on the agenda.

There are no police or fire disciplines tonight, and that brings us to your announcements. Council Member Morton. Thank you. I think I have a couple pictures. So we've continued to stay busy in District 1 over the last weeks and showing up in the community, supporting our youth, and highlighting the programs and events that continue to bring neighbors together. I'm always grateful for the opportunity to be present in spaces where real community building is taking place. So I'll share a little bit about some events we have coming up, but then also a couple events that I had the pleasure of attending over the past week. So in Castleville, they'll be kicking off the June Jog Wellness Initiative, encouraging neighbors of all ages to come together throughout the month of June to walk, jog, or run as a community. Programs like this may seem simple, but they create opportunities for connection, for wellness, and for positive engagements in our neighborhoods. And I appreciate the staff continue to think creatively about ways to activate our community spaces and encourage healthier lifestyles. And then moving on to the Douglas Aquatic Center Pool Party that's going to be this weekend, this Saturday. So Douglas Park is actually celebrating its 110th anniversary, but then also we're celebrating the new pool at the Douglas Aquatic Center. So it'll be from 12 noon to 4 p.m. And it'll be, you know, what is that, a lot of free food, a lot of free great community things. It'll be a great time. So come out and have a great time at the pool party for us. Then last weekend I had the privilege and the honor to open the Marfiki Afro-Lex Conference and speaking with young people about leadership, civic engagement, and the importance of using their voices. One thing I've always tried to remind our youth every time I speak with them is that leadership does not start when you become adult. It starts now. Their perspective matters, their experiences matters, and they deserve to know they have the ability to influence the future of their communities. It's always encouraging to see so many engaged young people in the room and having important conversations about culture, about leadership, about change, but also about their community. So that was a great time. And then yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Family Care Center graduation and joining colleagues in attending the graduation ceremony at the Family Care Center. I wanted to commend these young women for their commitment, resilience, and determination to continue pushing forward and investing in their future despite the challenges life can sometimes bring. I believe it is important that we continue creating spaces where young people feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to succeed. The ceremony was powerful and a reminder of what can happen when opportunities, support systems, and perseverance come together. And I'm proud of each of these graduates, and I look forward to seeing all they accomplished moving forward. And, you know, I say it all the time. I say it to Director Sheila, to Director Holt, and, you know, she's just a great leader. And they are literally changing lives and saving lives at that family care center, just sitting there listening to those young ladies, share their story, share their experience, and share the fact that that building, that place, pathway them towards success, that is life-changing investment. That's exactly what the city should be doing for our youth, and I just want to give those young ladies their flowers because they deserve it, but also the leadership at the Family Care Center, her flowers, because she is five-star, like I said, in that social service public safety meeting. And then lastly, my mom's birthday was yesterday, so I want to wish my mom a happy birthday. She is my backbone. She is my everything. And without her, I literally would not be here. But without her, I wouldn't be in this seat. So happy birthday, 60th birthday. So happy birthday to my mom. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Brown. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Haley, do you have that picture of Parker? Parker, if you don't mind just standing up, I just want to publicly thank Parker for his work in the council office and Partners for Youth for giving my office the opportunity to pilot their full-time intern program. This program allows young people to get paid and work in the field that they have interest in. Parker was a great intern this last few months. His last day was last week, and I asked him to come back today to be recognized. And I actually went to his graduation earlier this week at the Singletary Center. He graduated from STEAM via Tapes Creek, and he plans to attend High Point this fall in North Carolina. We won't hold that against him, but I just want to say thank you, Parker. I know you got your mom here with you today. We appreciate all you've done, and I appreciate council members welcoming and enriching him as well as we go forward. So enjoy your summer, and I'm excited for what lays ahead for you. So thank you, Parker. And then everybody has met, and hopefully everybody has met and worked with Fallon. Fallon, if you want to kind of wave your hand. Fallon McFarland, the new legislative aide in my office. I just want to thank all the other legislative aides for making her feel welcome. She came to my office via Commerce Lex. When we talked about the job, I kind of gave her some insight on what she was getting into, but I think the pool might have been a little deeper than she anticipated. But she's swimming just fine. She's a true professional, doing a good job learning, doing a good job helping me stay on track as we move forward. So please continue to make Fallon feel welcome and help her as needed, except for CAO Hamilton. You stay away from Fallon. Okay. All right, that's all I got. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. I want to also shout out to the graduates from the Family Care Center yesterday. attending their graduation is always very inspiring those women have been through a lot and persevered and I too enjoyed hearing their stories in Spanish and English and there were a lot of folks there supporting them and so I hope that they felt that we were celebrating them and I just really appreciate as well all that the Family Care Center does they are running several different programs there, and they always do such a great job at all of them. And so I really wanted to say that. Also, my legislative aide, Isabel Ballard, has decided to become an artist full-time. She is a very talented artist and has had several opportunities pop up in the next few months, and she is leaving me, and I'm extremely sad. She has been an amazing asset to the 11th district and to me and done a fabulous job. And our constituents really love her. And I'm going to miss her the rest of my term. So I just wanted to say thank you to her for all her hard work. And I hope that you will look at her art and consider buying one of her amazing paintings. So thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Beasley. Thank you, Mayor. Let's see. I don't know what's going to be at first. First, we'd like to say congratulations to the Tage Creek Middle School and Tage Creek Elementary School for their winning the Battle of the Books this past week. So congratulations to all those kids who'd like to read. I wish I had more time to do it. That's the middle school. And then I'd like to thank the Department of Emergency Management. They hosted our 8th District Youth Council this past week and did an amazing job. They let them they let them make their own emergency kits. Sorry, that was my baby. And talk to them what they do out there. They have an amazing intern. Her name is Sam. If y'all get the opportunity to go out there, you should. That is a possum on that thing because somebody in the department has a pet possum. I don't know if that's legal, but whatever. in the box yes yeah on there's a paper in there it's great um so if you get the chance to check see isn't it cute you know because when we're in emergencies our pets need to be taken care of too so this is where you can put all their information if you have a pet possum or cat or dog or whatever you happen to have so anyways thanks to all those folks for the amazing job they did talking to these kids um they all felt better when we left there that somebody's actually watching for them So thanks to emergency management. This weekend in District 8, we have the Seton Summerfest. So they have a casino and bingo for adults and kid games Friday night and Saturday. They also have a run for the nun on Saturday morning. Council Member Lynch, if you're not busy, you can go right out there and run. It starts at like 8 o'clock in the morning. They have a rummage sale that starts Friday. It's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you want to go out there and go to a yard sale and see what treasures you can find. And then this was Creek Fest that we went to. They had their gifted and talented kids do where the wild things are. There was music from each grade level. The Copsicle truck was there, which is one of my favorite things to do. The officer was actually dancing. I just didn't catch him in time for him to be up there dancing. And they had food vendors and all the things at Tate's Creek. I mean, sorry, at Mill Creek Elementary. so we want to thank them for inviting us to that. The program was great. These kids are all amazing. Let's see. Is that my last slide, Haley? Okay. Then I just want to take a second, and you can zoom in on Pixel. You can zoom in on Pixel. I wanted to take just a second to congratulate the paramedics that graduated today. That's a hard class, and we appreciate everything that they do for us. That's all I have. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Lynch. Thank you, Mayor. I have a few announcements for my neighbors. It is fair time in the Bluegrass. Bluegrass Fair is coming to Madison Station Park from June 4th through 14th. Fair warning to all of my neighbors in the 2nd District. Lee's time is going to be even more hairier. So I ask that you exercise extra grace and extra patience while the fair is here. But please, everyone, come out to the fair. You will get the best meal of your life. If you come to the fair and eat, the food is so good. It's so good. So please come out to the fair June 4th through 14th. Also, please don't forget neighbors. The Racial Justice and Equity Commission will be hosting their next town hall on June 2nd from 530 to 7 at the Whitaker branch of the YMCA out in Hamburg. This will be a listening session, so please come and share your thoughts about racial justice and equity here in the city as they form the recommendation to present to the council early next year. And then my last thing I want to say is a big thank you to our Department of Public Safety. This week, one of my loved ones was in a horrific car accident. And I know it was in large part due to our public safety staff that he is still on this side of glory. So thank you all so much. Words can't really express how I'm just grateful for you all. Because if you saw the car, there's no way he should be alive, but he still is. So thank you all so, so very much. My family is forever grateful to you all. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Councilmember Baxter. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate the Bluegrass Airport. Today they unveiled their future Lex plans for the airport expansion. And Councilmember Lynch and Councilmember Brown and, of course, Councilmember Savigny because he's on the board. We were all there this morning. And there's some really exciting things coming to our airport. And I just wanted to say congratulations to them for all the hard work that they've put in for the phased approach on the expansion. So congratulations. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. All right. That brings us to public comment for issues not on the agenda. And I need to confirm that Hudson Chamberlain is here. Where are you? And is Sean Howard here? And Sean, are you giving your time to Hudson? Yes. Okay, very good. Okay, so first up will be Lee Roberts, and you'll have three minutes. You'll need to restate your name for the record and your council district. And then next will be Hudson Chamberlain, who will have six minutes. Okay. Okay. I know I want to make sure. I no longer need to speak. Okay. Do you want to speak? I don't need to now. You're good? All right. We'll take you off. Come back again. All right. So Hudson Chamberlain, you'll have six minutes. Welcome. Hello and greetings. Let's see here. You'll restate your name and your council district, please. Hello, my name is Hudson Chamberlain. I live in Council District 8. This is my first time coming to a city council meeting because I come to discuss flock safety. But before that, I want to thank the council and members of this government for solving problems and for those solutions being taken for granted by the residents. I know I myself drive on a smooth road, and then I drive on a bumpy road, and I go, darn that bumpy road, our government should do something. Lo and behold, I forgot about all the work that went into the previously smooth road. I would like to take for granted the solution to flock safety. I would like to live in a world where I drive my car, and my neighbors can drive their car, and honestly walk through parks and take for granted that their privacy is preserved. So I don't necessarily have any direct solutions to that other than just ending the contracts. This urban county government has been trendsetters in so many different ways. We have dropped the ball on block safety. We dropped the ball by starting the contract, and we have dropped the ball by not canceling that contract. But we can correct course. I have faith in members of this urban county government to do the right thing and to secure the privacy of its citizens. I do not necessarily need all the time. That was just more so. I am joined by friends and neighbors physically, digitally, and spiritually. And that is all that I have to say. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. Council, that brings us to adjournment. Do I hear a motion? All right. All those in favor say aye. We are adjourned. Thank you all for coming.
