Recently, the online magazine, The Lexetropolis, featured a special article about the Douglas Dolphins and that swim team that is housed at the Douglas Aquatic Center. I'm very proud of them. They've had some really great successes so far. So a big shout out to all of the swimmers on the Douglas Dolphin swim team and their coach, True Turley, who is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Sheehan. Thank you, Mayor. I want to say a quick thank you to everyone who attended the public input session on Tuesday for the Mayor's Task Force on Homeless Solutions. I think we, despite the downpour that we had right before that, it was a really good turnout. The room was pretty full at the senior center, and we got to hear from a lot of folks with varying perspectives on the recommendations. And I thought I was impressed with the turnout and very happy to accept the feedback as a task force member. So I wanted to say that. And then I also, over break, we had a retirement that I just want to highlight. Tracy Jones, our planning attorney, retired while we were on our summer recess. And I've worked with her for several zoning ordinances. And she's always so helpful. But I know she had a long career here at LFUCG. So I just want to tell her thank you for everything that she's done. And I wish her well in her retirement. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Eblen. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to invite everybody to come out this weekend to one of the third district's great events. It's the 50th anniversary of the Woodland Art Fair, which will be in beautiful Woodland Park. Lots and lots of local and regional artists. It will be open from 10 to 6 on Saturday and 10 to 5 on Sunday. But anyway, come on out and enjoy it and support our local artists and support the Lexington Art League, which has been the sponsor of this for many years. Great, thank you. All right, that brings us to public comment for issues not on the agenda. The way this works is when I call your name, if you'll please come to the podium, and you will need to restate your name and say your council district for the record. You'll have three minutes, and we have John Marshall. welcome good evening good evening city council and mayor my name is john marshall i'm in the ninth district and i'm at 3387 winthrop drive and i came tonight to speak uh about first about the data centers i did come to the planning council meeting and one of the things i wanted to make sure is that we get on these projects, large projects, I think all large projects in Fayette, Lexington, should require decommissioning bonds for these sites so that they clean them up. If the site was to fail or whatever, that they clean these sites up and restore them back to the way they were before. Another thing is, is I just want to make sure, you know, with these large projects like this, especially the data centers, I know and I've read a lot around that's happened around our nation of things, and I just want to make sure that we have, you know, complete transparency with these projects and when things, when they're brought to the city and stuff like that, and we want to make sure that there's no NDA signed by anybody with the city, so I'm going to ask that. Another thing is, I have been a resident here in Lexington Fade County my entire life. I do not agree with the property taxes that we pay. I don't think that the property tax we pay on our home or our vehicles is justified, and I think it needs to be ended, and I propose that you all end the property taxes. Another thing, also, I drive out to my brother's, which is out on Old Richmond Road quite often, and I have to travel DeLong Road. And when I go out to Long Road, when I come back from back into town or from out in the country, out in the south end of Fayette County where he lives, I have to turn on, when I turn on to Long Road, the vegetation, I've called about this several times to the city. The vegetation that's up against that new subdivision that's going up there, they, for some reason, it's not been cut back. It's not maintained properly. I drive a standard Toyota Tundra, standard-sized pickup truck, and my mirrors just are getting beat to death by the vegetation that's down the road. And I've called. I know three times about that incident down there, about the vegetation, and it's been a pushback on that. And also the roads, there's drop-offs on that road in several places where the blacktop is dropped off, and it needs to be maintained better than that. Okay? I had other things. I'm trying to think of what else I had to speak about. I apologize. But I think I've covered everything, and I do thank you all for your time. Okay. You all have a blessed evening. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. All right, council members, that brings us to adjournment. Could I have a motion? So second. All right. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Thank you, we are adjourned. Thank you all for coming.
