So you're wanting it spelled out? Yeah. The one that I just made was to spell it out- Oh, okay. ... where it was abbreviated in the other one. Thank you. Great. All right, um, any further discussion? Those in favor of that motion, please indicate by saying, "Aye." Aye. Those opposed, "No." Motion carries. This is one where a public meeting is required. Now would be the appropriate time for that as well. So we'll convene the public meeting. Does anyone wish to address the council with regard to item number 21? Seeing none, we'll adjourn the public meeting. Uh, uh, Council Member James. Mayor, I just have a question. Where could citizens get access to the project? Is that on our website, the Raven Run Nature Center Project? There ... I, I know Parks has, uh, some information pertaining to it. I don't know that there's a detailed description of it on our website. If anybody can tell me if that's the case, I don't believe there is. It's not? But if they have information, they can call the Parks Department. Okay. Is this a, a public-private partnership project? Yes. Um, there was an extensive amount of money raised by Friends of Raven Run, as I recall, was the organization. And, um, so there's, there's been extensive private involvement as well as public dollars. Do you know how much public- how many public dollars are going towards this? Does anybody know? I'll let Commissioner Cole address that, or ... Okay. Michelle? The total project cost of the Nature Center is $1.7 million, and about half a million was donated from private sources. Mm-hmm. This money is actually, um, Parks has some funds available that we had a project that was finished, and we have an opportunity. In order to accept that bid, we had to delete several items, and one of which is an ADA sidewalk from the existing parking to the new building. So we're trying to take dollars that we have and get them matched so that we have funds to add back in some of those things that we had to take out. Okay. Do you know the total of the Parks contribution? 38,500. And then- We're asking- So that would be- So we're asking for 38,500- Okay. ... in match. Okay. 50/50. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you.

Seeing none, those in favor please vote aye. Aye. Those opposed vote no. Madam Clerk, the motion carries. And Madam Clerk, if you'll give first reading to those items. Resolution number 79. A resolution accepting the bid of Storm Reconstruction Services Incorporated in the amount not to exceed $28,937.50 for storm cleanup services for the Division of Parks and Recreation in Urban County Council Districts four and five and authorizing and directing the mayor on behalf of the Urban County Government to execute an agreement with Storm Direct- Reconstruction Services Incorporated related to the bid.

Thank you very much. Now, Council Member Myers. Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Before second, we ask for second readings, I, can I ask for something, clarification on one of the first readings? Sure. Okay. Number 78, um, I'm not, I, I don't remember this being in our work session packet, so I, if I can just get, and, and folks are nodding that it was, but I don't recall. If you would clarify, um, Mr. Webb, Commissioner Webb, what the two, what the two additional traffic engineering services are and from what, um, account the $88,000 is coming from? Uh, if you recall, the, uh, Streetscape Master Plan on Main and Vine Street called for a floating bike lane. And whenever we went and we had a, a pre-permit meeting with District 7, uh, concerning what they may need from us to, to permit that, uh, floating bike lane and non-peak and peak park, um, peak, non-peak parking on Main and Vine Street. Uh, it requires a new lane configuration and new signal timing. That was not included. It was not anticipated that that would be a part of the streetscape. There is a miscellaneous section of KKG's contract that could pick up things like that, but it did not have hourly rates for that type of work. And so what this resolution is asking is to put those engineering classifications and hourly rates into that miscellaneous section so that that work can be billed through there. It, it, the total is $88,000. Looking at the, at what we're projecting for streetscape, it can be absorbed through the, in the design and construction funds that are already appropriated. Okay, so the account number that's listed in the supporting documentation, um, that we have on our screen that you can't see right now, which is, I guess just in the resolution somewhere, that's the account for the construction from which these funds, because it actually does identify an account number.

All in favor of approving those, th- or those resolutions, please indicate by voting aye electronically. Those opposed, vote nay electronically. Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Mr. Gray. Aye. Miss Henson. Miss James. Yes. Mr. Lane. Yes. Ms. Lawless. Yes. Mr. Martin. Yes. Mr. McCord. Yes. Mr. Meyers. Yes. Mr. Stennett. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Beard. Mr. Beard. Yes. Thank you. Mr. Blues. Yes. Mr. Ellinger. Yes. Miss Feigel. Aye. And Miss Gordon. Aye. Thank you very much. Those resolutions are approved. That brings us down to communications from the mayor. They're just for information, um, purposes. Number nine on the agenda are announcements. Does any council member have announcement to share? I see C- Council Member Feigel. . ... or we can do it after th- the public comment, if you prefer. All right. We'll do that. Um, let's proceed then with public comment, and I have two people who have indicated a desire to speak this evening. Mr. McCarthy, if you'd step to the podium. You'll have three minutes. Your Honor and Members of the Council, first off, when you do any streetscape projects, please avoid doing anything that would reduce the traffic-carrying capacity of the streets themselves. I have no problem with decorating the streets, I just want them to be able to handle the traffic load. And second, while this falls outside of your actual jurisdiction, I've heard way too much chatter for my comfort of the possibility of the federal government and some states replacing gasoline taxes with some kind of odometer tax, or worse, equipping every vehicle with some sort of tracking device that would keep track of where and when it was driven. I mention this to you even though it will be fought over at higher levels of government because I think this council has a better shot at influencing our congressmen and senators in Washington than I as an individual have. And the idea of having something track where I go and when alarms me as a terrible invasion of privacy, first of all. Second, as far as taxing people according to how much use they're getting out of the roads and how much wear and tear they're putting on the roads, an odometer tax would be less efficient and less fair than the fuel taxes. What we need to do is to, one, set the fuel taxes at whatever level it takes and adjust for inflation, number two, levy equivalent taxes on any alternative fuels based on their energy content, perhaps put electric meters on any electric cars that you would plug into a wall outlet to recharge, but have them measure only electricity put in from an external source or generated by solar batteries, not by the gasoline engine of a gasoline-electric hybrid that is converted to be pluggable. And I sa- I say this because the odometers and tracking devices do not have any way to tell you what percentage of the distance a vehicle traveled it was fully loaded with all the weight it could have crammed into it or towing a trailer versus what percentage of the distance it traveled it hauled only its driver. Mr. McCarthy, you have 20 seconds. All right. Uh, the last speaker I have listed is Eric Patrick Maher. Mr. Maher, if you'd step to the podium, you'll have three minutes. And, and Mayor, also, after this, we have some disciplinary, uh, issues that need to be tail- dealt with too. Thank you. Good evening, y'all. Eric Patrick Maher, 207 Cassidy Avenue. I, uh, just wanted to speak 'cause I know you guys have your retreat tomorrow morning. I think you guys do. And so, with my ongoing transforming Lexington's economy work, I wanted to just, uh, share with you guys my latest thoughts and understandings of what's going on. And then perhaps throw some things out there that you might like to talk about. And if I go the three minutes, I might ask for an extension, and I think you might like it, Mr. Mayor, at the end, 'cause I have something you might like maybe. So, uh, transforming Lexington's economy, I just wanna talk about this for a second. Next slide please. Uh, in The Herald-Leader on February 7th, uh, I believe Beverly Fortune wrote the article. It was about Lexington Board of Realtors, I believe it was, brought in a consultant from Florida, did a survey about 3,000 Bluegrass residents, and the majority of 'em, the headline was, "Economic Development Is Our Top Priority," from the citizens of The Herald-Leader. And so I want to maybe speak for them or at least help drive the conversation towards that. Next one please. Next. So I just wanted to give maybe the public some stats that I'm sure we see, but I just wanted to... I don't know if everybody really understands where we're at. LFUCG, of course, 25 to $27 million in the hole for next year so far for your budget, uh, according to the $556 million Main Street Stimulus Request. Uh, it just shows how far behind, according to the mayor's office, we are in funding communities' needs. Half a billion dollars right there, probably over many, many years. This is not just the past six or 12 months. Uh, for the stormwater fees, uh, from what I understand, we need 250, $300 million over the next several years. So we're getting close to a billion dollars just in LFUCG that we're in the hole, my guess is 20, 30 some odd years, if not more. Sorry. Uh, in Kentucky, we have 29 of the country's 100 poorest counties. Uh, Lexmark was there, 17% decrease last year, of course. UK's laying off home sales, 14% down. Toyota's lost, they don't usually lay anybody off, they try to avoid that at all costs, and they're laying off temporary employees, over 250. Keeneland's talking about going to slots. Keeneland's sales, if you can see the bottom there, you can't, down 40 some odd percent last year. It's just on and on and on and on. So my contention is that we need an economic transformation, a reinvention, if you will. This is my ongoing contention. And so la- next slide please. And so last night, uh, I got this... I've been trying to talk to Commerce Lexington for 18 months, and I have never been engaged. Nobody's returned my calls or anything until yesterday. The research director found my blog, Transform Lexington, and commented and said... His quote was, "Economic development is alive and well in the Bluegrass. We're an oasis, and we're special." Mr. Marr, you have about 10 seconds left. Okay. Can I have an extension? I think you'll like it towards the end. If there's a motion, yes. I have a motion from Council Member Ellinger to extend for two more minutes. I have a second from Council Member Feigl. Any discussion? All in favor, say aye. Opposed, no. Motion- No. Uh, let's have a show of hands. All in favor of, uh, extension, please raise your hand. Those opposed? Thank you. Motion carries. You have two additional minutes, Mr. Marr. Thank you for the guys who voted yes, 'cause the citizens said that's a top priority. So I just wanna talk about things. I appreciate your all's help. Uh, and so the numbers in the past three and a half years, Lexington... the numbers were given to me, $270 million in direct investment into Lexington. That's about an $80 million a year average. Next slide, please. And so then they challenged me actually to go check out another city, so I just happened to choose Austin, which is their kind of pet model. It turns out in one year, in 2007, Austin had $690 million of VC investment. Now, I know Austin, two to three times bigger than Lexington, but we're talking about eight to time, eight to nine, eight to nine times more investment in Austin than in Lexington. And then watch this. I just happened to find this, I didn't even realize. Austin, the human capital. Next slide, please. Notice, uh, and then they have this thing called Austin Opportunity. Their three-prong foundation for economic development. Economic diversification, not just focusing on one thing, like we sort of do with this horse capital of the world. Then they have brain power is our greatest resource. Keeping greater Austin great. I only got about one minute left probably. Next, please. So my idea for reinvention is we need, I believe, we need to diversify our economic base beyond horses or agriculture, but our brain power. We have so many people, like that Ford FLEX you see in the middle. There's a guy downtown who wo- who designs iPhone applications. Ford Motor Company contracts him to design these high-tech devices. And so you can take a virtual tour of a Ford vehicle right on your iPhone because of a guy downtown. We have Elev8tion Creat3ve, who is, uh, becoming possibly the next Pentagram designer. We have all these talented people. A Randy Lynn is a e-health records, uh, software developer right downtown. Our brain powers are great if we could tap into that. Next slide. I'm almost done. I think- You have 10 seconds. 10 seconds left. Uh, the last one, tomorrow, I suggest perhaps revisiting Super Branding Lexington, a hub website, and then the STEM scholarship I think is a good idea. I know it pa- or failed miserably, but maybe tomorrow at least revisiting the possibilities of investing into our people somehow or another. I would think that would be a great way of going about things for the future. Thanks. Thank you, Mr. Marr. Does anyone else wish to address the council? All right. We'll return to Council Member Feigl, and then we've got a couple disciplinary matters. Council Member Feigl. Thank you, Mayor. As you may recall, um, the Chevy Chase Merchants Association has been working with the Parking Authority, um, at the request of former Councilman, uh, Bill Farmer. And ha- they have been meeting on a regular basis, and one of the things they discovered in their conversations was that there are several parking issues in the Chevy Chase area because it is very unique. And as a result of that, the Parking Authority is now willing to do the first small area parking study, which will be done in Chevy Chase. And they are having a par- a park, a public meeting, I'm sorry, on Monday, March the 9th at 6:30 at Buddy's. And this is open to the public, and, uh, they are looking for input into ideas for parking. Um, this will be advertised in the Chevy Chaser's Mar- March edition, and also the Downtown Lexington Corporation Monday Matters newsletter. And I just would like to encourage you to, to come and see what they are doing, uh, because you may, other council members may have similar areas in their districts as well. Thank you. Thank you. If there are no further announcements, Commander Stack and Chief Hendricks, I believe each of you have, uh, a matter or two. Good evening, Mayor, Council. Uh, this is an allegation that has been made against Detective Keith Ford that he had committed the offense of improper use of division on vehicles in violation of General Order 73-2-H, Section 1.13, Operation of Vehicles. The, uh, punishment for this conduct recommended was a written reprimand and loss of home sol- fleet privileges for a period of 60 days. Move approval, Mayor. Second. I have a motion by Council Member Gordon and a second by Council Member Myers to accept, uh, to approve the recommended discipline. Any discussion? All in favor, say aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. Chief? Good evening, Mayor and Council. In the matter of, uh, Firefighter Robert Smith, it's alleged that he was absent without leave from regularly scheduled work hours. The, uh, recommendation of administration in consultation with the Commissioner of Public Safety is a written reprimand. Uh, I have a signature of conformity and agreement on the party of, uh, the charged person, and that is the recommendation. Move approval. I have a motion by council member to approve... Council Member Gordon to approve, a second by Council Member Henson. Any discussion? All in favor, say aye. Opposed, no. Motion carries. Chief? In the matter of Firefighter Geoff Nalley, um, two charges, the first being absent without leave from regularly scheduled work hours. ... uh, the second conduct unbecoming an officer, uh, in the first instance, the recommendation was a written reprimand, for the second, a 24-hour suspension without pay. Um, and again, I have, um, indication of signature of conformity. Have a motion to approve by Councilmember Meyers, second by Councilmember McCord. Any discussion? All in favor, please say aye. All opposed, no? Motion carries. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Chief. Does anyone else have any matters? A motion to adjourn would be in order. Second. Motion by Councilmember, uh, Meyers to adjourn is seconded by Councilmember Gordon. All in favor, please stand. Please stand. Motion is approved. Thanks. Dammit. . Give me some of your love.
