Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we come before you today to pray for this council. We thank you for each member who has accepted the call to this leadership position, stepping forward to carry the responsibility of our community. We acknowledge that true leadership requires your guidance, and your word reminds us in James 1 and 5 that if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. Lord, we are asking for your divine wisdom to be poured upon this council. We pray that you give discernment to every member in this chamber. Let your brilliance be reflected in their thoughts, in their words, and in their strategies. Let them, give them your higher perspective so that they can find real, lasting resolutions for the complex issues our city faces. We stand on the promise of Proverbs 2 and 6, knowing that the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Lord, we also know that public service is a heavy assignment. We pray that you would grant this council the spiritual stamina and physical endurance to keep going, even when the hours are long and the challenges are great. Renew their strength daily, especially on this summer break, so that they never grow weary in doing good for the people of this great city. Grant this council the ability to govern with absolute confidence, not confidence in themselves, but in your divine guidance. We ask that you will bless their efforts so clearly that the people of our city will find peace and assurance in their leadership. Let their actions prove to the community and that this council is fully capable. they are equipped and dedicated to doing the job and trusted to them. May their leadership restore hope, build community, and reflect your excellence in every way. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Thank you so much. All right, this brings us to a special presentation. I would like to invite Walter Tunis and Councilmember Eblen, who's here with me, to join me at the podium. I'm going to have you right here next to me. Thank you. So we are very thankful for Walter being here tonight so that we can honor him. As most of you know, Walter is quite the Lexington legend. For 46 years, Walter Tunis served as contributing music critic for the Lexington Herald-Leader. Throughout his career, Walter has become one of the most respected voices in Lexington's music and journalism scenes. Through his writing, Walter has introduced us to extraordinary talent from near and far who have helped shape Lexington's unique cultural identity. I want to thank you very much, Walter, for your dedication all these many years, for your passion, your contributions to our great city and our community. And I have to say personally, I'm a big fan of yours. I have read probably 95% of your articles. I may have missed one now and then. I especially appreciated your most recent look back. It was wonderful. And so at this time, I'd like to present you with the Spirit of Lexington Award. It seemed it fit you perfectly. And here's how it goes. This is Spirit of Lexington Award, Walter Tunis. In recognition of his many years of service as contributing music critic for the Lexington Herald Leader, his extraordinary dedication to celebrating the musicians, the venues, the stories that define Lexington's music scene, and his lasting contributions to our city's vibrant arts community, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby recognize Walter Tunis with a Spirit of Lexington Award. Thank you for all you've done. Thank you. Thank you. Just love you. Would you like to say a few words? Okay. Walter's going to say a few words. A very few words. Just thank you very much for this recognition. It has been a complete honor and privilege to be able to do the running I've been able to do for the past 45 years in a city that I've been very proud to call my home for 50 years this year. Thank you very much. Thank you. I don't know. Tom's going to speak. I'd like Councilmember Eblen, who actually worked with Walter, I don't know how long, I'm sure he'll tell us, to give a few comments. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Yes, I worked with Walter for 21 years when I was at the Herald-Eater. When I became managing editor in 1998, I was surprised to learn that one of our most talented arts writers was actually a freelancer who had a day job in the medical field. But Walter's work was just amazing. He would come in after a show and bang out, you know, some sterling prose that we would get in the newspaper. And, you know, just the interviews and the context that he brought to the Lexington music scene over so many years is just really remarkable. And I'm sorry to see you leaving the Herald Leader, but I'm really glad I saw you've restarted the Musical Box, your great blog, and hope to see you also writing in other venues. But thanks for all you do for Lexington. Thank you. Thank you, Tom. All right. So at this time, and I know some of his fan club are here in the audience also. They're all around here. At this time, we'd like to get a photo in the front, if you would be so kind. Now we're going to put you there. Now we're going to put you there. halfway in the water. I'm in halfway in the ways.

So we don't have to have any if you don't have any. All right. Thank you very much. And I have one announcement that I would like to make for the public about the patriotic concert. Council members, you probably have seen the time has been moved later to accommodate because of the heat. So the patriotic concert on Friday night, tomorrow, will be at 8 o'clock at Transylvania instead of 7.30. So that brings us to public comment for issues not on the agenda. And we have three people signed up. And the way this works is that you will, I'll call your name and you'll come to the podium. And you'll need to state your name and your council district. And you'll have three minutes. So first is Tana Fogle followed by Kimber Ross. welcome thank you I'm not going to go first but we have so many me's that's going to go so where's Kimber you have to say your name in the district welcome my name is Kimberlin and I live in first district first district and I'm here today to say thank you to Council Member Brown and Council Member Chuck for buying our waters and helping us pass it out for our people by us. Okay. That's very nice. Thank you very much. And Jamir Ross, welcome. My name's Jameer Ross and I'm from District 1 and I'm here today to say... There he is. Council Member Morgan. Council member Morgan, I live in your district, and we hope you next time we pass out water, you buy something for us and help the people in need and don't have homes that lay out in the heat all day. All right. Thank you very much. And now we have Tana Fogle. All right. This is really quick. First of all, let me just say, it is Crown Act Week. Are you still Tana Fogel? Tana Fogel, 1st District. Council Member Morton is my council member. Sorry about that. I'm so excited about the Crown Act that we're going to be celebrating tomorrow. But first, happy 4th of July to all of you all. Thank you for the hard work that you've done all year long, and we appreciate it. And it was a great segue, Mayor, when you were talking about the heat and how they moved the performance to a later date. But I want to remind you all that the heat is still out there. We have so many people on the curbs and the grass. And I, too, want to thank you, Council at Large Brown, Council at Large Chuck, for buying all of the water. And the children passed it out all yesterday. We're on our way to pass it out again this evening. We know that we have some wonderful outreach people, but it's just not enough. Because we have a cooling center right in front of my house, and I've asked other neighbors to just put a tub of water out so people can walk by and just pick it up. So I just wanted to remind you, I know that your homes are cool, and you're going home for break. I remember what that was like. And we just have so many. We have a great task force. And the winter program is a pretty good one. But during the summer, right now, when I came in, the heat index was 101. When I drove down Martin Luther King, which was right across from this building, there's so many people that are out sitting on a scorching hot surface. Some of them came to the car and I don't know if you guys haven't been out in the sun probably that long, but they have blisters from the sun coming out of their skin. So I hope that, and I don't want to damper your vacation, but just think about it when you come back, please. My summers usually go all the way through September, so people are blistering on their arms. The other thing that's costing our city is because they're dehydrated. And so our EMS is having to work extra. They're showing up because people are passing out because of the heat. And so as we get together, and I'm certainly ready to stand beside you to find a solution and the organizations that I bring to this table. So happy 4th of July. We will do our part while you're gone to make sure they hydrated. Council Member Ellinger said, if you run out, call me again. We'll get you that water. And so his assistant came to my house and dropped off cases. Can I have some of their time? They only prepare for 30 seconds. No, I'm going to go sit down. I just wanted to say happy Fourth of July. Happy Independence Day. and we'll work together. And I hope that when I call the Office of Housing and Homeless that they'll pick up. I've been calling for a month and I haven't gotten any response. But thank you all. And thank you, Council Member Morton, because I can see you ready to roll now. Thank you very much. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. All right. Well, that brings us to the end of our meetings. So I've got all those in favor of adjournment, say aye. Aye. We are adjourned. Thank you all for coming.
