APOLOGIES CAN WE REVISIT THE LAST ITEM AS A ROLL CALL, BOY? I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WANTED IT RECORDED MY APOLOGIES. ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE PREVIOUS ITEM, PLEASE. OKAY? IT'S OPEN. COUNCIL MEMBER MCRANEY I'D LIKE TO EXPLAIN MY BOAT, PLEASE. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS NOT THE INDIVIDUAL. BUT THE PROCESS OF APPOINTMENTS FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION AND THE AND THE LOT OF US HERE TONIGHT THAT THE PROCESS IS FLAWED. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE 26 DISTRICTS. WITHIN THOSE 26 DISTRICTS. WE HAVE CAPABLE PEOPLE TO SERVE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS SEEMS TO OMIT SOME. DISTRICTS OR OVERLOOKED SOME APPLICATIONS. AND UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD STACK ONE PARTICULAR IMPORTANT COMMISSION OR BOARD WITH 2 TO 3 PERSONS FROM THE SAME DISTRICT. THEN WE ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE PROCESS ALLOWS US TO DO. TO BE FAULTY. THIS PARTICULAR PERSON, AND I'M NOT.
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THE PERSON FROM SOMEBODY WHO MIGHT WALK IN HERE FROM THE STREET.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS NO BOARD SHOULD HAVE 2 TO 3 PEOPLE. ON IT FROM ONE DISTRICT. THAT SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT EITHER WE'RE STACKING THE DECK WITH FRIENDS, RELATIVES, PEOPLE THAT WE WANT FROM A ONE PARTICULAR AREA. OR WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE RULES. THERE ARE RULES ESTABLISHED ALREADY FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE APPOINTMENTS TO THIS PARTICULAR BOARD. SEEMS TO FOLLOW THESE SETS OF RULES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE UP FOR THIS PARTICULAR BOARD FROM ONE DISTRICT. THAT'S ABSURD. YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME THAT THERE ARE NOT ANY CAPABLE PEOPLE IN OTHER DISTRICTS. THAT QUALIFY TO BE ON THIS BOARD.
THIS BOARD IS THE ONE THAT'S BEFORE, SO THAT'S WHY I'M TALKING ON THIS BOARD. BUT THERE
[01:00:03]
ARE SO MANY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT WE HEAR FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS ALL THE TIME.THAT STATE THEY DON'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY OR THEY HAVE APPLIED AND THEY'RE NOT HEARD OR THEY'VE BEEN DENIED UNTIL THE PROCESS IS FIXED. I WILL BE VOTING NO. ON APPOINTMENTS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE 2 TO 3. PEOPLE ON IT FROM ONE DISTRICT. THANK YOU. MY VOTERS KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER PARKER, DID YOU WANT TO VOTE AND. SOMEONE REQUESTED THE WORK. MR PRESIDENT , YOU HAVE 12 YEARS EIGHT NO VOTES AND ONE PRESENT VOTE. THE APPOINTMENT PASSES, READING OF ITEM 28 AND AGAIN, COUNSELOR CHECKING MY APOLOGIES. AN APPOINTMENT OF CRAWFORD WELLS TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD TERM EXPIRES AUGUST 15 2026 RED AND PULL MOTION ACCOUNTS OF GENIES SECOND BY COUNCILMAN ANGLE. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCILMAN FOWLER? THIS IS AN APPOINTMENT OF CRAWFORD WELLS TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD. HE DID, UM COME BEFORE THE BODY ON OUR COMMITTEE MEETING LAST WEEK, AND, UM I ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION COUNSELING ARENA, WEBER. TO THE POINT OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE MADE THIS WOULD MAKE THE THIRD PERSON FROM THAT SAME COUNCIL DISTRICT ON THIS BOARD. AND THAT SEEMS EXCESSIVE. SO I WILL BE VOTING NOW AND I URGE YOU TO DO THE SAME.
COUNCILMAN HAWKINS. ECHOING OFF MY COLLEAGUE. AND I WILL AGREE. NO IT'S GOING AGAIN. HOW THE BOARD ETCETERA. PERSONALLY ASKED THIS GENTLEMAN. DID HE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HAVING AUTHORITY ? SECTION EIGHT? HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE IS IMPORTANT. WHAT HE SAID ON BOARDS. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN SHANKLIN. FROM THE END. I SAID I WAS AGAINST IT VOTED PRESENT IN COMMITTEE AND I WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING TONIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCILOR ARGENTINA. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. JUST FOR CLARITY. THIS IS NOT THE THIRD PERSON FROM THIS DISTRICT. THAT'S THE SECOND ONE OF THE PEOPLE FROM THIS DISTRICT IS BEING REPLACED.
SO IT WILL BE, TOO. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE. I JUST WANT TO SAY, UH, FOUR YEARS AGO I BEAT BEAT THIS DRUM LIKE CRAZY BECAUSE YOU WERE RUBBER STAMPING PEOPLE OUT OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND THAT GOT US INTO A VERY, VERY BAD PLACE. I THINK I'M GLAD TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT STAYING ON TOP OF, PARTICULARLY THIS LAST 67 MONTHS HAVE BEEN OFF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE. I'M GLAD TO BE A NONVOTING MEMBER THAT TAKES A MUCH MORE ACTIVE ROLE MOVING FORWARD. BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS NOW I WANT TO DIFFERENTIATE, THOUGH THESE PEOPLE ARE REPLACING PEOPLE THAT ARE KOOL AID DRINKERS WHO SUPPORTED THE RETIRING LOUISVILLE METRO HOUSING BOARD PERSON, SO I DO THINK WE'RE GETTING SOME FRESH VOICES. SO I'M GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF THESE FOLKS WITH THAT SAID JOIN WHAT EVERYBODY ON IS SAYING IS THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROCESS, AND I THINK WE DO HAVE TO BE FOCUSED ON MORE UPSTREAM PROCESS AND MAKE IT CLEAR TO THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT WE'RE WATCHING. WE'RE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY. BUT I DON'T THINK IN MY OPINION, THESE ARE THE EXACT FOLKS THAT I'M GOING TO SAY NO TO AT THIS POINT, BUT I'VE SEEN SOME CRAZY THINGS HAPPEN AS WELL . AND WE JUST NEED TO CORRECT IT. AND I THINK IF WE GET UPSTREAM AS A COUNCIL, WE'RE GOING TO GET BETTER CANDIDATES. AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL I'M DOING THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR MCRANEY. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO WALK THE WALK AND TALK THE TALK IF WE'RE GOING TO BE LEGISLATORS, AND WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE RULES , WE SHOULD ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW THIS PARTICULAR RULE AS WELL, TOO. THREE. FOUR. ON ONE BOARD FROM ONE COUNCIL DISTRICT. IT'S 123 TOO MANY. I WILL BE VOTING NO, BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE PROCESS IS FLAWED. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DISTRICT. THAT THIS PERSON IS FROM AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PERSON AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW THIS PERSON, BUT I WILL BE VOTING. NO BECAUSE WE MUST FOLLOW RULES AND THESE RULES SEEM TO BE BROKEN. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN HAWKINS. I DID ASK THE MAYOR'S OFFICE SPECIFICALLY WHEN THEY CAME IN FRONT OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY. AND IT WAS ONE PERSON FROM DISTRICT 16 THAT WAS ALREADY ON THERE AND TWO PEOPLE FROM DISTRICT 16 THAT THEY WERE
[01:05:05]
ADDING ON SO TO BE, UM, YOU KNOW , I THOUGHT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF THREE. I ASKED THAT TOOK A TOUR WHEN SHE CAME OVER, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE RECORD ON THAT. SO THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY WHAT I ASKED. AND SHE SAID YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN RENO WEBER.WOULD YOU SAY? I TOTALLY I THINK IT WAS MAKING THE RIGHT POINTS EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH COUNCILMAN P. ARGENTINA ON THIS TO GET THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF PEOPLE FROM THAT I HAVE ALL THE ELEMENTS OF DIVERSITY. I ALSO THINK WE SHOULD APPROACH THIS FROM A SPIRIT OF PARTNERSHIP.
AND OFFER THE CANDIDATES THAT WE KNOW ITS SUPPORT AND CAN HELP TO VOUCH FOR THEIR QUALIFICATIONS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR THE BEST QUALIFIED PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER OUR CITY TO HELP US IN THESE REALLY IMPORTANT BOARDS, SO I WANT US TO APPROACH IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. I THINK WE'VE GOT A REAL OPPORTUNITY HERE TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER. COLLEAGUES ACCUSE NOT EXACTLY WORKING FOR ANYBODY ELSE THAT COUNSELOR READ. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. UM MR WELLS IS QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION. HE'S A VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. YES HE DOES LIVE IN THAT DREADED AWFUL DISTRICT 16. SO I YOU KNOW, HE'S SOMEBODY THAT HAS REACHED OUT TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MAYOR HIMSELF CALLED ME ABOUT HIM. I VOUCHED FOR HIM. AND I JUST THINK WE SEND A REALLY BAD SIGNAL WHEN WE HAVE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE THAT ARE APPLYING FOR THESE BOARD POSITIONS. AND WE START NICKEL AND DIMING THEM. SO, UM, I WOULD ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO VOTE YES. COUNCILMAN FOWLER. YES THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. UM UNDERSTAND WHAT EVERYBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT, BUT I DON'T THINK ANY RULES HAVE BEEN BROKEN ACCORDING TO OUR LEGISLATION. IT'S NOT THAT IT'S NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE. TWO PEOPLE FROM THE SAME DISTRICT ON, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SCARING PEOPLE AWAY. I'M JUST SAYING. THANK YOU.
COUNCILOR P ARGENTINE E OKAY, JUST TO CLARIFY AGAIN. I DISPUTE NOTHING ABOUT WHAT COUNCILMAN HAWKINS SAID. I'M SURE THE ADMINISTRATION DID SAY THAT ACTUALLY CLEAR WHAT I WILL SAY IS THERE ARE THREE EXPIRED MEMBERS ON THE CURRENT COMMISSION. ONE OF THEM IS THE MEMBER OF CURRENTLY FROM DISTRICT 16, SO THEY SHOULD BE CYCLING OFF. IF NOT NOW, IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, IT WILL END UP WITH TWO PEOPLE. WITH THE TWO ADS AGAIN. I'M JUST TRYING TO PAINT THE FULL PICTURE AND GIVE AS MUCH. TRANSPARENT INFORMATION AS I CAN. SO I'M SURE THE ADMINISTRATION MAY HAVE SAID THAT I'M NOT I KNOW ALFIE JACKSON HAS BEEN OUT FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. I KNOW SHE'S PLAYING. I'VE CALLED HER FOR DATA. SHE'S PLAYING SIGNIFICANT CATCH UP. I FEEL QUITE BAD FOR HER AGAIN. I WOULD ALSO ARGUE THAT SHOWS THE ADMINISTRATION DIDN'T PLAY. WE SHOULDN'T BE WAITING FOR DATA BECAUSE ONE PERSON IS OUT SICK. THAT'S ANOTHER PROBLEM. BUT THE BUT NONETHELESS I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THAT CURRENT PERSON FROM 16 IS AN EXPIRED TERMS, SO THEY'RE THEY'RE EXPIRED NOW OR IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR MCRANEY. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. LET ME JUST BE VERY CLEAR. WHEN I SAY THE PROCESS IS BROKEN OR RULES OR NOT BEING FOLLOWED. I STAND BY WHAT I STATED. THERE ARE A SET OF RULES THAT MUST BE ADHERE TO APPOINT PEOPLE TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. STACKING THE DECK WITH ONE PERSON OR TWO OR THREE FROM THE SAME DISTRICT. SEEMS TO VIOLATE THE PROCESS. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE HAVE 26 DISTRICTS. IF SOMEONE IS NOT APPROVED TO BE ON A PARTICULAR BOARD IF THEY'RE HIGHLY QUALIFIED. THAT IS A CANDIDATE FOR ANOTHER BOARD. WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF THEM. SO WHEN YOU SAY THAT WE'RE RUNNING PEOPLE AWAY OR WE'RE DISCOURAGING PEOPLE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ENCOURAGING THEM TO APPLY TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND WE URGE THEM TO CONTACT OUR OFFICE . IF THEY'RE FROM MY DISTRICT AND LET US KNOW WHAT BOARD YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, SO THAT WE CAN SPEAK ON YOUR BEHALF. SO IF SOMEONE COMES BEFORE US, AND THEY ARE NOT APPROVED TO A PARTICULAR BOARD, THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT IF THEY'RE QUALIFIED TO BE SUGGESTED FOR ANOTHER BOARD AGAIN, MY VOTERS KNOW BASICALLY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SOMEONE IS OFF. ON MATERNITY LEAVE SICK LEAVE.
VACATION. WHERE GOVERNMENT WE SHOULD RUN MORE EFFICIENTLY AND IF SOMEONE IS DOING THE DUTY OF THE PERSON THAT'S NORMALLY DOING THAT JOB, I EXPECT THEM TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS. THIS SEEMS TO BE FLOGGED, AND AGAIN, I WILL BE VOTING NO, BASICALLY BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS BEING FLAWED, NOT
[01:10:06]
BECAUSE OF THE PERSON AND NOT BECAUSE OF LOVELY DISTRICT 16. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN AND JUST SO EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT IN THE QUEUE. I'VE GOT COUNCILMAN HAWKINS COUNCILMAN ACKERSON COUNCIL IN RENO WEBER COUNCILMAN FOWLER COUNCIL IN SHANKLIN. SO, UM. BECAUSE EVEN HAWKINSON, I THINK WE'RE CHOOSING NOT TO USE IT. SHE WAS NOT APPRECIATED. UM BUT THAT'S THAT'S HOW I'VE GOT THE QUEUE RIGHT NOW. COUNSELOR ON, UM YOU CAN BE A GREAT BUSINESS PERSON. AND I'M SURE MOST OF THE CURRENT SITTING MEMBERS THAT SIT ON THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD ARE REALLY GREAT PEOPLE. BUT WITHOUT THOSE GREAT MEMBERS. CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME? WHY DOES THAT MATTER? LOOK THE WAY IT DOES. AND BEN LOOKING LIKE THAT FROM EUROPE FOR YEARS. SO IT JUST CONCERNS ME. WITHOUT THESE GREAT MEMBERS THAT SIT ON THE BOARD.THEY'VE FAILED. SO MANY HOUSING ISSUES. SO IT'S NOT ABOUT IF THEY ARE A GREAT PERSON. IT'S NOT ABOUT REALLY WHAT DISTRICT THEY COME FROM. WHAT IT'S ABOUT. WHO IS REALLY GONNA GET DOWN AND DO THE JOB. AND GOING TO BE A LEADER THAT THIS CITY NEEDS AND A VOICE TO SPEAK UP ON THE BOARD. AND QUITE FRANKLY, NO ONE THAT HAS BEEN SITTING ON THAT BOARD HAS DONE ANY OF THAT. SO FOR ME. AGAIN. IT'LL BE A NO. THAT'S COMMANDER IS A MESS. AND IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS.
AND THE CONSTITUENTS. THE CITY HAS RELIED ON THIS BOARD. TO TAKE A STAND, AND THEY DONE NOTHING. SO FOR DISTRICT ONE IT'S THE NO. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN ACKERSON. COLLEAGUES.
I DON'T MEAN TO OFFEND BUT. HERE'S THE REALITY THAT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. FIRST AND FOREMOST , THIS IS A NEW APPOINTMENT. SO TO MY DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUE FROM METRO ONE. I SAY THIS IF YOU'RE UPSET ABOUT. WHAT THE DIRECTION THAT HAS BEEN GOING. I THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
IF YOU FEEL THAT NOT DONE THEIR JOB. GIVEN THE AX. THIS APPOINTMENT IS A NEW APPOINTMENT. HMM. THE OLD APPOINTMENTS GIVE THE NEW APPOINTMENT A CHANCE IS WHAT I WOULD SAY. AND WHEN IT COMES TO WHERE YOU LIVE THE CITY OF WOOL. THIS IS SORT OF A PROBLEM HERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S DO YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH END DEAL IN THE EAST END IN THE WEST END. DO YOU LIVE IN THE HIGHLANDS? ONE. AND WE'RE ALL TRYING TO THE SAME THING. AND I HATE TO LOSE THAT ON GOOD TALENT IF I WEREN'T NFL FRANCHISE. I WOULDN'T WANT TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T WANT THE BEST QUARTERBACK. I GOT TO CHOOSE. PLAYERS FROM DIFFERENT AREAS, SO I GET MORE FANS. THE REALITY IS THIS IS A GOOD PERSON. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE ARE STACKED IN ONE DISTRICT. HERE'S A GOOD PERSON. THEY MAY BE IN ONE DISTRICT. THERE'S STILL ASSISTANT. I REPRESENT ALL OF THEM. I SEE. BARBARA SHAKE YOUR HEAD AND BARBARA. WE'LL JUST DISAGREE ON THIS. I LOVE YOU TO DEATH. BUT WHEN I DISAGREE ON THIS ONE, I TOLD YOU IN ADVANCE.
BUT I DON'T CARE WHAT DISTRICT YOU FROM. I'M LOOKING FOR THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO THE GREATEST JOB POSSIBLE. THAT'S IT. GIVE ME A GREAT QUARTERBACK . GIVE ME A GREAT WIDE RECEIVER . GIVE ME A GREAT RUNNING BACK AND WE WILL HAVE A SUCCESSFUL TEAM. THAT TEAM BEING GROOMED.
REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU COME FROM IN THIS THIS TOWN AND SO I'M GOING TO BE YES VOTE TONIGHT. AND AGAIN TO MY COLLEAGUE OF DISTRICT ONE. I AGREE WITH YOU IF THE BOARD IS DOING A TERRIBLE JOB. GIVEN THE AX. BUT IF THE BOARD IS DOING A TERRIBLE JOB, WHAT BETTER TO DO THAN BRING A NEW PERSON ON TO TRY OUT SOMETHING NEW? THANK YOU. MY COLLEGE. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FOWLER. YES, THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. SO, UM I JUST WANTED TO ANSWER. ABOUT DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY. THIS GENTLEMAN, MR. WELLS UM, HE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE BEHIND HIM. AND THEY WERE CALLED. BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE. AND THEY SAID, NO, WE'VE
[01:15:05]
BEEN WATCHING THESE PROCEEDINGS. NO, THANK YOU. SO YEAH, WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL WHAT? YOU KNOW THE PRESIDENT WAS SETTING. THANK YOU. COUNCIL AND CHAKRA. CATHERINE CHECKER. THANK YOU.THE MIRROR ASKED ME TO FIND HIM. SOME AFRICAN AMERICAN REPUBLICANS BECAUSE, HE SAID, I DON'T HAVE ANYONE. AFRICAN AMERICAN REPUBLIC. THAT'S FOUND HIM SOME ONE GUY HAD APPLIED FOR 10. DIFFERENT. DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES. ONE LADY HAD SIX ON THERE. THEY NEVER BEEN CALLED.
AND SO THESE THERAPY PEOPLE THAT ARE SITTING WAITING TO GET ON THESE BOARDS. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT BOARD TO ME. AND I THINK IN MR WELLS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE BEST. I LIKE BRITAIN AND ALL THAT, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE RIGHT IS RIGHT. DO THE RIGHT THING WE DO NOT NEED TO OR THREE IN ONE DISTRICT. AND NONE THAT AFFECTS THE PEOPLE. THAT IS, I MEAN, NONE OF THEM ARE IN THE DISTRICTS THAT AFFECT THESE PEOPLE. ALMOST EVERYONE IN THE OSCAR MANNER IS AFRICAN AMERICAN. ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THEM OUT. THEIR REPORT WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN. LET'S PUT SOME PEOPLE IN THERE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE THINGS SO THEY CAN I ACTUALLY FEEL IT AND BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT. YOU PUT PEOPLE IN THERE. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SECTION 80 IS NEVER BEEN IN THAT AREA. THAT'S NOT RIGHT. YOU KNOW IT. I KNOW IT AND I DON'T CARE WHICH WAY THIS VOTE GO. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PERSON. IS ABOUT THE PROCEDURE. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN UKRAINY.
THANK YOU. I AM IN A TOTAL AGREEMENT ON THE PHRASE WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE PRECEDENT WE'RE SETTING. AND THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. WHEN I SAY WE NEED TO HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION AND WHOMEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR APPOINTING PEOPLE TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO THE PROCESS. PROCESS STATES THAT YOU MUST THE POINT, ACCORDING TO EQUAL. IN DISTRICTS. AND GENDER AND RACE. AND IN POLITICAL PARTY. AND WHEN YOU TRY TO DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS THEN IF YOU FAIL, AND YOU CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE YOU MIGHT THEN BE ABLE TO SAY THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE FROM ONE DISTRICT, BUT UNLESS YOU CALL ME OR CALL ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES AND SAY WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE FROM YOUR DISTRICT, THEN YOU'VE NOT DONE ALL YOU CAN DO TO FILL THAT BOARD PROPERLY. SO I STAND BY WHAT I STATE COLLEAGUES. WE MUST BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. WE SAID IN THE PRESIDENT HERE IS WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS OR NOT. THANK YOU. CATEGORY. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO STAY FOR THE RECORD THAT, UH, MR WELLS IS EMINENTLY QUALIFIED FOR THIS. AND I ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO VOTE. YES AND I ABSOLUTELY REJECT THE NOTION THAT ONE MUST LIVE IN AN AREA TO HAVE EMPATHY FOR THE AREA. THANK YOU. SEE NO ONE ELSE IS COUNCILMAN ACKERSON. NO I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS. I ALSO STAYING WITH COUNCILMAN REED.
IT'S SAYING GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. DON'T AFFECT MY VOTE. YEAH WE COULD HAVE ONE BOARD COMPLETE FOR ONE DISTRICT. AND I'LL ACCEPT THAT. AS ALWAYS, WE'RE GETTING QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
HOWEVER IN SPEAKING WITH SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT THIS INDIVIDUAL ON THE SIDE, BASED UPON SOME ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED REGARDING THE QUALIFICATIONS. I WILL BE A NO VOTE, BUT I STILL STAND BY THAT BACK. MY NOBLE IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA. THIS PERSON LIVES IN. I COULD GIVE TWO HOOTS ABOUT THAT. BECAUSE OF MY COLLEAGUES AND RESPECT THAT HAD TOLD ME SOME THINGS THAT ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT? THANK YOU. COUNCILOR ARTHUR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE METRO COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW COMMISSION HAS TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. AND I WANTED TO JUST INFORM MY COLLEAGUES THAT IN OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 32 THAT DISCUSSES GENERAL PROVISIONS AROUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE BODIES . THE LANGUAGES THAT APPOINTMENT SHOULD REFLECT AND THEN IT LISTS DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC, POLITICAL , GENDER, AGE AND RACIAL DIVERSITY. SO AS WE CONTINUE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION IF WE
[01:20:03]
WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S REQUIRED. WE SHOULD UPDATE THE LEGISLATION INSTEAD OF SAYING SHOULD IT SHOULD SAY SHALL BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, IT IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT. BUT I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME DIVERSITY AND ALSO POINT OUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHICS OF WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, BECAUSE SO MUCH OF PUBLIC HOUSING. IS REALLY CONCENTRATED IN CERTAIN COUNCIL DISTRICTS, SO THAT SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE ACTUAL MAKEUP OF THE BORDERS. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN. Q THIS IS AND WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE JUST OUT OF ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION HERE, SO COUNCIL MEMBER MCRANEY NO. MR PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE NINE. YES VOTES 11. NO VOTE IN ONE PRESENT VOTE. APPOINTMENT FAILED. UM MEDAL CLERK. I'M GONNA ASK THAT WE TAKE TWO ITEMS OUT OF ORDER JUST FOR COUNCILMAN. FLOOD CAN WE PLEASE SKIP TO ITEM 30? YES, SIR. AN ORDINANCE. AN ORDINANCE . MM AMENDING SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE METRO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE LDC IN SECTION 1 15 OF THE LOUISVILLE JEFFERSON COUNTY METRO GOVERNMENT CODE OF ORDINANCES. LMC OH, RELATING TO SHORT TERM RENTALS. CASE NUMBER 23 L. D. C 0001 AS A MINUTE READ IN FULL MOTION MOTION ACCOUNTS.MCARTHUR'S SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BAKER. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, COUNCILMAN FLOOD. THIS CAME OUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CALL SORRY, COUNCILMAN REED. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. THIS DID COME OUT OF COMMITTEE WITH THE ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE. THERE WAS ONE NO VOTE GOING TO DEFER TO COUNCILMAN RENO WEBER FOR DISCUSSION. CAN SERENA WEBER. CAN WE USE THE? Q IF IT'S WORKING, PLEASE? THANK YOU. ALRIGHT COUNSELOR. ARENA WEBER SHORT TERM REYNOLDS GIVE AN AMENDMENT TO I BELIEVE COMMENTS. GO AHEAD. SORRY. UM THIS AMENDMENT ADDRESSES SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED IN THE VERY ROBUST CONVERSATIONS AROUND. UH, THIS ORDINANCE. AND, UM I'M EXCITED TO BRING IT FORWARD. WHAT WERE THE BASIC PREMISE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS IN A PLACE THAT IS YOUR UH, PRIMARY PLACE OF RESIDENCE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE WITH MAXIMUM FREEDOM AND A PLACE THAT IS NOT ZONED FOR OPERATING OF A COMMERCIAL HOTEL . YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE A COMMERCIAL HOTEL AND WE HAVE DEDICATED IN THE ORDINANCE, THE INCREASE IN THE FEES THE COUNCILOR ARGENTINA. THE INCREASE IN THE REGISTRATION FEES FROM THE SHORT TERM RENTAL REGISTRATIONS WILL GO TO BE DEDICATED TO CREATING A FULL TIME STAFF PERSON WHOSE JOB IT IS TO WORK ON SHORT TERM RENTALS , BOTH SUPPORTING PEOPLE IN THEIR APPLICATIONS AND IN DEALING WITH ENFORCEMENT ISSUES. AND ALSO TO PURCHASING A SOFTWARE THAT WILL ENABLE PLANNING AND ZONING TO LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY TO SCRAPE THE EXISTING ADVERTISEMENTS OF. UH PEOPLE, SHORT TERM RENTALS MATCH THOSE AGAINST THE CITY'S REGISTRY TO BE ABLE TO EASILY IDENTIFY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN VIOLATION BECAUSE AS DIRECTOR, LIU OFTEN SAYS THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ADVERTISE THEIR CODE VIOLATIONS. SO THOSE ARE THE BASIC AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING. WITH ONE ADDITION , WE ALSO WANT TO GIVE SOME GUIDANCE TO BOZA AROUND. WHAT ARE THE AREAS IN WHICH WE'RE EXPECTING THEM TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION. GRANTED C U P ONE OF THOSE INCLUDES IF YOU ARE SUFFICIENTLY DISTANT FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS, THAT IT IS UNLIKELY FOR YOU TO HAVE A AH TO DISTURB THEM WITH ABOVE THE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY CAP. WE WOULD EXPECT THAT IF YOU ARE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO A COMMERCIAL ZONE AND OTHERWISE WOULD BE BASICALLY OPERATING IN THE SAME ZONE AS A HOTEL. WE EXPECT TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THAT. UM AND I THINK THAT'S IT. CATHERINE JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. YOU REFER TO THEM AS A YOU'RE NOT OFFERING AMENDMENT. YOU'RE SAYING WHAT YOU'RE. CAN WE MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND IT ALONG THOSE LINES? SO WE'VE GOT AN AMENDMENT BEFORE US. WOULD YOU READ THE AMENDMENT MAKING, MAKING A MOTION THIS MOTION CORRECT A SECOND COUNSELOR ARENA, HOWEVER. ANY SECONDS TO COUNCILOR SECOND BY COUNCILMAN, FLOOD OR CHAPEL. UM . OKAY. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON
[01:25:02]
THE AMENDMENT? I NEED CLARIFICATION. YES. IN ORDER FOR CLARIFICATION. YES. WHAT IS THE AMENDMENT. THE AMENDMENT IS. IS YOU WANT TO? YOU WANT TO READ IT INTO THE RECORD? WHAT DO WE DO HERE? SORRY LAURA FERGUSON, ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY. SO THE AMENDMENT IS IN THE SYSTEM, AND I'M JUST GONNA SORT OF JUMPED THROUGH THE DOCUMENT. SO WHEN YOU GET TO PAGE FOR THE DOCUMENT, WHICH IS DEALS WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. 4.2 0.63. UNDERSEA. AT THE END OF THE LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW, THAT SAYS, IF THE AFOREMENTIONED OCCUPANCY ALLOWS FOR MORE THAN 12 INDIVIDUALS, THERE SHOULD BE A MAXIMUM OF 12 PERSONS OVER THE AGE OF 16. THE BOARD MAY FURTHER RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THE NEW LANGUAGE WILL BE RELIEVED TO THIS PROVISION MAY BE PROVIDED BY THE BOARD ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS IF THE APPLICANT CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT A GREATER OCCUPANCY WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH LIFE SAFETY AND OCCUPANCY STANDARDS, AND THE SHORT TERM RENTAL IS OF A SUFFICIENT DISTANCE TO NOT ADVERSELY IMPACT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY. THEN IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH INDY. UM, THERE IS NOW A NEW SUB ONE, AND IT SAYS REASONS FOR POTENTIAL RELIEF. A PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO NON RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ALLOW SHORT TERM RENTALS BY RIGHT BE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE OR PRIMARY COLLECTOR OR HIGHER CLASSIFICATION ROAD THAT SEPARATES THE PROPOSED SHORT TERM RENTAL FROM OTHER SHORT TERM RENTALS WITHIN THE BUFFER AREA. SEE A SHORT TERM RENTAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE BUFFER AREA IS LOCATED ON THE PERIMETER OF THE BUFFER AREA WITH PART OF THE PROPERTY BEING LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BUFFER AREA. D AND NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ENCOURAGES AND SUPPORTS SHORT TERM RENTALS IN THE SUBJECT AREA. THEN WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY'VE BROKEN UP THE EXISTING LANGUAGE THAT TALKS ABOUT UM. IN APPLICATIONS WHERE THE ENTIRE AREA ENCAPSULATED BY THE 600 FT BUFFER AREAS. RESIDENTIAL LEASE OWNED, INCLUDING TNC D AREAS MAP NEIGHBORHOOD GENERAL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANTIAL, THE BOARD PROVIDE RELIEF TO THIS PROVISION IN CASES IN WHICH TWO OR MORE SHORT TERM RENTALS WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS ALREADY EXISTENCE WITHIN TWO WITHIN 600 FT. SO WHAT THEY'VE DONE FOR THE NEXT THING IS, IT WAS ORIGINALLY NOT NUMBERED OUT SEPARATELY THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENT, BUT BECAUSE WE EDIT A ONE THIS IS NOW NUMBERED AS A TWO UM, WHAT WAS ONE IS NOW TO A WHAT WAS BE. WHAT WAS TOO IS NOW BE WHAT WAS THREE IS NOW SEE. SO THAT'S JUST A NUMBERING. THEN WHAT WE DO. IS WE JUMP. GET TO IT. WE GO TO PAGE I THINK IT'S ROUGHLY 12 OF THE ORDINANCE. AND THIS IS NOW IN THE SECTION THAT ADDRESSES LMC 01 15 517 THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE AND SO IN PARAGRAPH B WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE NON REFUNDABLE FEE OF $250, A SENTENCE IS ADDED AT THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH THAT, SAYS THE OFFICIAL GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DESIGN SERVICES FOR USE IN ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF SHORT TERM RENTALS ONLY. AND THEN I BELIEVE THE FINAL CHANGE.IS IN SECTION FIVE, WHERE IT'S WHERE IT ORIGINALLY SAID THE ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT UPON ITS PASSAGE AND APPROVAL OR OTHERWISE BECOMING LAW. IT SAYS ANGELA PART TO WANT ANY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE BOZA AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND TO ANY NEW REGISTRATION APPLICATION THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE. AND THOSE ARE THE CHANGES THAT ARE IN THE AMENDMENT IN THE SYSTEM. COUNSELING, ARTHUR. OKAY, COUNCILMAN ANGLE. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. HAD A GOOD MEETING TODAY WITH LAURA FERGUSON AND GOT GOT UP TO SLEEP UP TO SNUFF ON THIS THING. I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT QUESTION YOU KNOW, THE ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE CHALLENGES WITH THIS HAS BEEN ENFORCEMENT. AND SO MY QUESTION IS FIRST OFF, DO WE. WE PUT A SALARY ON THIS, THIS INDIVIDUAL THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND THEN, UM, AND THEN WHO ? WHO WOULD THEY BE? WILL THEY ALSO BE DIRECTLY? WORKING WITH CODES AND REGS. UM FOR THE FOR THE DIRECT FOR THIS GREAT THIS FLOW OF INFORMATION THAT IS SORELY NEEDED. AND THEN I MAY HAVE A FOLLOW UP WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT. THANK YOU. CATHERINE WEBER. DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER? SURE. SO THERE WE DID NOT SET A SALARY. IT'S JUST SAYING THAT THE FUNDING FOR THIS CAN GO TOWARDS THOSE POSITIONS THAT POSITION. BUT WE DID NOT PUT A SALARY OR RANGE IN THERE. I ASSUME HR WILL WANT IT. HAVE A HAND IN THAT, UM AND THEN WHAT'S NOT DIRECTLY WITH CODES AND RAGS. IT'S GOING TO BE WITHIN PLANNING AND ZONING AS I UNDERSTAND IT. UM THE CLEAR ASSUMPTION IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH CODES AND X THANK YOU AND SEND YOU SOMETHING. I THINK I'M OKAY. NOW COUNCILOR ARTHUR THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST WANTED TO DEDICATE
[01:30:05]
MY YES VOTE TONIGHT TO DISTRICT FOR RESIDENTS IN PHOENIX HILL, BUT YOUR TOWN AND CLIFTON'S HEIGHTS WHO SENT THEM WRITTEN COMMENTS WENT TO PUBLIC HEARINGS . THEY'VE BEEN WATCHING COMMITTEE MEETINGS THEY ORGANIZED FOR CHANGES AROUND SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND I'M SO PROUD THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO VOTE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. THESE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVELY IMPACT BY SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND THEY REALLY HELPED MAKE THIS A PRIORITY FOR OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY O G L I SEE HIM OUT IN THE GALLERY TONIGHT, SO I JUST WANTED TO SHOUT THEM OUT AND MAKE IT ALSO CLEAR BECAUSE I'VE RECEIVED SOME EMAILS FROM POST THIS DOESN'T GET RID OF SHORT TERM RENTALS, WHICH IS UPDATING THE RULES BECAUSE WE ALL WANT TO HAVE THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE NEIGHBORS, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? HERE NOW. THE AMENDMENT ALLOWS FOR A VOICE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY, AYE AYE, ANY OPPOSED THE AMENDED ORDINANCES BEFORE US? IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION COUNSELOR? NO. ONE.FIRST I WANT TO SAY, UM CAN WE DISCUSSION? WE'RE BEYOND THE AMENDMENT. THIS POINT WE HAVE THE AMENDED ORDINANCES. WHAT'S BEFORE US? I WANTED TO THANK COUNCILMAN RENO WHOEVER FOR TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE ON THIS , UM AND WANT TO THANK THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR WORKING SO HARD ON IT, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN VERY TIME CONSUMING AND COMPLICATED BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING AS HARD AS WE CAN TO GET THIS RIGHT. I THINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB HERE IN LOUISVILLE OF STAYING TRYING TO STAY IN FRONT OF WHAT IS A BURGEONING INDUSTRY. UM AND JUST HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE WE HAVE 1500 ISH SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND THEY HAVE 15,000 IN NASHVILLE. AND SO IT'S WELL. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WHERE I THINK WE HAVE KIND OF GOTTEN IN FRONT OF IT AND PUT SOME RULES IN PLACE THAT HAVE HELPED US AND I THINK WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. NOW THIS IS THE THIRD TIME WE'VE REVISITED.
UM THE LEGISLATION SINCE WE'VE SINCE IT WAS INTRODUCED. I THINK THAT WAS 2016. SO I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT, AS THE INDUSTRY GROWS AND KEEPS MOVING. UM. SO I THINK I HEAR A LOT ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS IN DISTRICT NINE. AND I KNOW A LOT OF AREAS DON'T HAVE QUITE THE DENSITY OF SHORT TERM REYNOLDS AS SOME OF THE REST OF US DO, BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO AVOID, AND PARTICULARLY THIS IS IN COUNCILMAN ARTHUR'S DISTRICT IN IN IN BUTCHER TOWN IN PHOENIX HILL IN PARTICULAR. WHERE. THIRD OF ALL OF OUR SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE IN THOSE TWO NEIGHBORHOODS AND WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NO LONGER FEELS LIKE A COMMUNITY. IT FEELS ENTIRELY TRANSACTIONAL. AND.
WHEN I HEAR THAT THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME, AND I THINK WE THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY.
THIS IS NOT PERFECT. THIS IS NOT GONNA STOP SHORT TERM RENTALS. NOR DO WE WANT IT TO. EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF MY CONSTITUENTS WISH IT WOULD, BUT I DO THINK WE'VE DONE THE BEST WE CAN TO BALANCE A LOT OF A LOT OF DIFFERING, UM INTERESTS HERE, AND I FEEL LIKE WE'VE COME UP WITH A PRETTY GOOD PRETTY GOOD SOLUTION, SO I WILL BE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING THIS TONIGHT AND WOULD ASK PEOPLE TO DO SO AS WELL.
