Cooper expressed dissatisfaction with current pay conditions and argued that employees need a formal contract to ensure their concerns are taken seriously by the government. Cooper's comments indicated a broader frustration among government workers regarding compensation and the lack of a structured bargaining process to address their needs. **Mr. McCarthy** [timestamp: 1:33:54] raised two distinct concerns. First, he voiced opposition to subsidies provided to developers, suggesting that such financial support was not in the public interest. Second, he offered suggestions for improving bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, specifically calling for tree trimming and sidewalk maintenance to make those routes safer and more accessible. ## Contested Items - **Annual Minimum License Fee Ordinance** — An ordinance to establish an annual minimum license fee was the primary contested item at the June 26, 2008 Council meeting. The measure generated notable opposition among Council members, ultimately passing on a split vote of 12 to 3. The specific points of disagreement among members are not detailed in the available record, but the 3 dissenting votes indicate meaningful division within the Council over the proposal's merits. Despite the opposition, the ordinance secured enough support to pass. ## Invocation [timestamp: 11:20] The meeting opened with an invocation delivered by Deborah Wallace-Padgett, Senior Pastor of St. Luke United Methodist Church. ## Presentation in Memory of Jimmie Campbell [timestamp: 14:08] Mr. Lane delivered a presentation honoring the late Mr. Jimmie L. Campbell, who had served as the former Director of the Division of Sanitary Sewers.

Uh, the first one is a resolution in memoriam honoring Jimmy L. Campbell. Whereas, Jimmy L. Campbell was an employee of the City of Lexington and of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government for more than three decades, supervising the construction and operation of the central infrastructure; and whereas, Mr. Campbell graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in civil engineering and worked as a professional engineer for over 10 years before he began his public service career with the city in 1969; and whereas, in his early years with the city, Mr. Campbell managed Lexington's Town Branch Wastewater Treatment Plant and the nearby jail; and whereas, as LFUCG Director of the Division of Sanitary Sewers, Mr. Campbell oversaw two major expansions to Town Branch and the construction and three major expansions of West Hickman Wastewater Treatment Plant; and whereas, Mr. Campbell ultimately was responsible for over 130 employees, 65 pump stations, and 1,000 miles of sanitary sewer lines; and whereas, under Mr. Campbell's leadership, both treatment plants received awards from the Environmental Protection Agency for superior operation; and whereas, outside of his career in public service, Mr. Campbell gave back to his community, serving on the board of the Manchester Center and through active involvement in professional organizations mentoring young engineers; and whereas, in his later years with LFUCG, Mr. Campbell served as Acting Commissioner of Public Works in the Office of the Commissioner of Public Works and in Construction Management; and whereas, Mr. Campbell continued to work in the private sector until his death on June 19th, 2008 at age 76; now, therefore, be it resolved by the Council of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, Section 1, that the mayor and the Council of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government join the family and friends to mourn the loss of this outstanding citizen, public service, servant, and family man; and Section 2, that Lexington citizens recognize the enormous contributions of Mr. Jimmy Campbell to their quality of life. Then I have a second resolution, changing the street name of Jimmy Drive to Jimmy Campbell Drive in memory of the late Jimmy Campbell, former Director of the Division of Sanitary Sewers, effective 30 days from pass- passage; whereas, Jimmy L. Campbell served as an exemplar, exemplary employee of the Urban County Government for many years and was a longstanding director of the Division of Sanitary Sewers until his retirement in 1999; and whereas, Jimmy L. Campbell passed away on June 19th, 2008; and whereas, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government desires to honor the memory of the late Jimmy L. Campbell by changing the name of the street upon which its facilities are located from Jimmy Drive to Jimmy Campbell Drive, and this change should be made to conform to the code and to establish the goals of the geographic information system and 911 systems; now, therefore, be it resolved by the Council of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, Section 1, that in order to honor the memory of the late Jimmy L.

Madame Clerk, if, uh, while, um, Mr. Campbell's son, Mark, joins me at the podium, if you would give a second reading, we'll come back around and conduct a vote. That's pretty good. Okay, resolution number s- 96 for second reading. A resolution change in the street name of Jimmy Drive to Jimmy Campbell Drive in memory of the late Jimmy L. Campbell, former Director of the Division of Sanitary Sewers, effective 30 days from passage, and 97, resolution and memoriam honoring Jimmy L. Campbell. If I may, from here I'll entertain a motion to approve both resolutions. So moved. Second. Motion by Council Member Ellinger and a second by Council Member Gordon to approve both resolutions. Madam Clerk, if you'd call the roll. Mr. Gray. Ye- yes. I'm so- Ms. Henson. Yes. Ms. James. Yes. Mr. Lane. Yes. Mr. McCord. Yes. Mr. Meyers. Yes. Dr. Stephens. Aye. Mr. Stinnett. Yes, ma'am.

Thank you all very much. I'm sure many of you know, uh, Mr. Campbell's son, Mark. Um, he's a familiar face to many folks here in the chambers and, uh, Mark, I just want to tell you how deeply appreciative we all are of your, uh, dad's long service to this community through Urban County Government.

And that, uh, gets us down now to announcements. Council Member McCord. Thank you, Mayor. Just very quickly, I wanted to wish, uh, uh, Lexington's own Tyson Gay and Dana Pounds the best of luck this week at the Olympic, uh, track tryout, uh, o- olympic track trials in, uh, Eugene, Oregon, uh, both are, are favorites to win and, uh, we certainly are, are very proud of them regardless of how this weekend turns out, but wanted to let them know we're certainly thinking about them and cheering them on. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Anything, uh, Council Member Beard? Uh, I'm probably speaking for the rest of the Council, but I'll go ahead and be the one to, to say this, but I would like to, uh, command and thank the, uh, commissioners, especially, uh, Commissioner Coe and the Department of Budgeting for all the help they gave us in, uh, turning around things in jig time, to say the least. In just very, uh, very quick, in some cases, uh, the information that we've asked for and got back. Uh, a- almost three months worth of work w- went into that, uh, and m- more obviously when they were creating the budget to begin with. And I just want to thank them personally, and I'm sure I, I'll get a second from someone. Bye. Council Member Beard, I, I wanna say on behalf of, uh, Commissioner Coe and, and, uh, everyone in the budget office that, uh, I appreciate your kind remarks. We put Commissioner, uh, Coe and the budget office and, um, Mr. Cubine through a lot of, uh, hoops in the process of getting the budget prepared to submit to you all in early April, and they did outstanding work in that context as well. And, and I just wanna tell you that, um, we appreciate your kind words. You know, Tim Russert's, uh, recent passing I think created an environment where everyone paused to reflect on the benefits of, uh, having a tough but fair and most significantly a civil exchange of ideas, and I think that is, uh, what, for the most part, has marked the budget deliberations. It has not been easy for any of us. Uh, no one likes this budget, and I understand that, but, uh, we have worked our way through it. We'll do the best we can. I've got ongoing concerns about whether or not we will achieve the, the personnel levels necessary through attrition and retirements to get where we need to be on the expense side of things, but we'll do the best we can to manage our way through that, and, uh, I'm very grateful for the work which all of the members of the Council have put into trying to make the, uh, budget work. So, thank you for your kind remarks. Anything else in the announcements category? All right. That takes us down to public comment. I have two people who have, um, indicated a desire to address the council this evening. The first is Jamie Cooper. Ms. Cooper, if you'd step to the podium. I have your address. It's 2160 Deauville Drive? Yes, that's correct. All right. And then w- you'll have three minutes, if you would please. Okay. Uh, my name's Jamie Cooper and I do live at Deauville Drive here in Lexington. I'm an urb- urban county government employee for 17 years, and I sorta am at a loss for words. I thought that the second reading on the budget was gonna be tonight. And, you know, communication's been kinda down with the government this week with, uh, the computer system outta whack and all that. Um, so that being said, the last that I heard is that we were gonna get the 2.3. Is that correct? Okay. Well, um, I am gonna ask your support in our move for collective bargaining for the rest of urban county government employees, because it's obvious that we're not being listened to about our pay needs. Uh, we had an ordinance that was passed Section, uh, 21-29D and the last sentence of that ordinance is, "It is the intent of this section that employee salaries shall have first priority in the budget process except for any debt obligations." And once again, we were put last. So, we are pushing for collective bargaining, because it looks like it's going to take a contract for us to be taken seriously. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Cooper. Next is Mr. McCarthy. Your Honor and members of the council, there are several things that are somewhat bugging me tonight. First off, please don't give any subsidies or tax breaks or tax refunds to any developers, especially not the Webbs when they build this CenterPoint. Remember that the city lost money underwriting their construction of Festival Market when that went bankrupt many, many years back. And I hate to see us giving breaks to things that I think of as extravagant and wasteful. And private homeowners don't get a corresponding break on their taxes even if they get a break on the price of the house by building it themself or getting it at a reduced price from a nonprofit organization. Secondly, if you really wish to make our street system friendlier to bicycles and pedestrians, instead of making it hostile to the automobiles, I think you should try more aggressive tree trimming. I came... I had to duck my head when I was pedaling my way down Euclid Monday evening to avoid getting smacked in the face with a low tree branch. Second, more aggressive and frequent street sweeping, and where you build bike paths, maybe you need to buy a miniature-sized street sweeping mis- machine to serve as a path sweeper. And third, drainage grates all over the city that, uh, stayed where they were when the surrounding pavement got raised by resurfacing need to be raised to match the pavement. And believe me, even if you have to replace every drainage inlet in the whole city, it's a lot cheaper to raise the storm drains than it is to lower the streets. And finally, for the sake of the pedestrians, I do think that sidewalks should be built along any collector and arterial streets that don't have them, or more or less any street that's busy enough that you would not want people walking in the street, even if the adjoining property owners and the neighborhood associations object. But I would suggest that perhaps in fairness, the current ordinance that requires adjoining property owners to maintain and repair sidewalks should be repealed, and this government should take over the maintenance and repair of sidewalks. Even if you have to charge us more in taxes to do it, I mean, at least that's more predictable than the current situation where somebody never knows when he's gonna get forced by code enforcement to spend money replacing a segment of sidewalk that a tree root buckled or something like that. Mr. McCarthy, thank you very much. Does anyone else wish to address the council? There's one other, there's one other thing I meant to say a moment ago to, uh, Council Member Beard. I, I talked specifically about Commissioner Ko and, and the budget folks. Uh, I wanna tell you, I am supremely proud and honored to work with all of the commissioners. They are people of unquestioned integrity in my book. I think they work very, very hard for the city. They have without exception, in my judgment, uh, been very diligent in what they've been trying to accomplish. I hope, uh, you feel the same way, but I, I just wanna say that I'm very, very proud of the work that, that they have done and I appreciate your kind remarks about all of the commissioners' assistance in the, in the budget process. With that said, um- Motion to adjourn. ... I have a motion to adjourn from Council Member Ehlinger, second from Council Member Stennet. All in favor, please say aye. Oppose, no. Motion carries. Thank you.
