MISTER SKINNER. COUNCILMAN EAGLE, WILL YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE YOUR SPECIAL GUEST? YES.HELLO, COLLEAGUES. IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF VERY, VERY SPECIAL GUESTS HERE, YOU KNOW, AS WE KNOW, THE FIRST WEEKEND OF MAY, FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY. WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS, RIGHT? IN THIS COMMUNITY. WELL, I THINK EQUALLY, THERE'S ANOTHER WEEKEND THAT IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT REALLY MAKES ME AND I THINK YOU ALL PROUD. AND THAT'S THE FIRST WEEKEND OF JUNE. AND WHAT IS THAT CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN WEEKEND, RIGHT, DID ANYBODY WATCH THE TELETHON BY CHANCE? PRETTY EXCITING. SO WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE TELETHON TO YOU. I HAVE, TWO SPECIAL GUESTS HERE, AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT THIS PARTICULAR CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN IS TO ME. I MARRIED A SPECIAL EDUCATION MASTER GAL FROM, WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION FROM BELLARMINE COLLEGE. MY WIFE. SO I LEARNED REAL FAST WHEN I GOT TO, WHEN I
[00:05:04]
GOT FROM WISCONSIN TO LOUISVILLE, HOW IMPORTANT THIS PARTICULAR WEEKEND IS AND IS TO THIS COMMUNITY. AND THE STATE AND THE REGION. AND, DON, I WANT YOU TO SHARE ABOUT THE REGION AND THINGS. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE IF I COULD, MADAM CHAIR. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE, MADAM PRESIDENT, EXCUSE ME A LITTLE SORT OF GIVE AND TAKE A LITTLE, LITTLE, LITTLE OFF THE OFF THE CUFF HERE, IF I COULD. BUT ANYWAY, SO, I WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL, TELETHON, I BELIEVE, AT 5.7 MILLION. AND IT'S STILL COUNTING, DON.CORRECT OKAY. AND REAL QUICKLY, SINCE I'M NOT, I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING AT DON. LET ME JUST INTRODUCE HER. DON LEE, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE WAS CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN. AND OF COURSE, THIS YEAR'S 71ST CRUSADE TELETHON WAS HELD OF COURSE, LAST WEEKEND AS I MENTIONED. AND THIS IS YOUR 16TH CRUSADE, WHICH HAS RAISED 5.7 MILLION, THIS LAST ONE SINCE THE CRUSADE BEGAN IN 1954. MORE THAN $217 MILLION HAVE BEEN RAISED FOR THIS COMMUNITY, FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. AND DID WE KNOW A GAL THAT WAS IN YOUR POSITION? I BELIEVE. WAS THAT REBECCA JACKSON, VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS PRIOR TO YOU? AND YOU HAVE REALLY YOU STEPPED INTO SOME SOME BIG SHOES. BIG SHOES. HOW ABOUT THIS DURING DAWN'S TENURE, THE CRUSADE HAS RAISED MORE THAN $87 MILLION. 100% OF THESE DONATIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH GRANTS AIMED AT IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, THIS PAST YEAR, 220 GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS AND AGENCIES THAT SERVE CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. GRANTS AWARDED WITH THE CRUSADE FUNDS THIS PAST YEAR HELPED MORE THAN 200,000 200,000 CHILDREN ACROSS KENTUCKY AND INDIANA. NOW, DON, WE HAVE A WHO IN THE WORLD APPROPRIATES $5.7 MILLION IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN TRUST. AND WE DO. WE DO TRUST THEM, DON'T WE? WHO IS THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT, THAT THAT IS DOES ADMINISTERS THIS MONEY? I LOVE THE WAY THE CRUSADE WAS SET UP AND I THINK IT WAS, WELL THOUGHT OUT BECAUSE WE HAVE A PANEL OF MINISTERS, THEY'RE INTERDENOMINATIONAL MINISTERS FROM ALL DIFFERENT, RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES, AND THEY COME TOGETHER AND THEY MAY NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING RELIGIOUSLY OR POLITICALLY, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CRUSADE, THEY MAKE THESE FUNDING DETERMINATIONS. AND WE ALWAYS HAVE MORE REQUESTS THAN WE HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE. SO IT'S A DIFFICULT JOB AND THEY STEP UP AND DONATE HOURS AND HOURS OF TIME EVERY YEAR TO MAKE THOSE TOUGH DECISIONS. AND IS THAT A VOLUNTEER EFFORT? ABSOLUTELY SO I KNOW THAT WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE GOT EXTERNAL AGENCIES THAT WE SIT ON RIGHT. AND APPROPRIATE MONIES AND SUCH. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE. AND DAWN, IN THE ENDOWMENT, ENDOWMENTS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE LONGEVITY OF A OF AN ORGANIZATION. CORRECT. AND YOU'VE TAKEN THIS, THIS ENDOWMENT, THAT DURING YOUR TENURE, THE CRUSADE ENDOWMENT HAS GROWN FROM $5 MILLION TO $40 MILLION, WHICH IS WHAT ALLOW TELL US WHAT THAT MEANS, THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THAT GOES BACK TO REBECCA JACKSON AS WELL, WHO REALLY GOT THIS THING STARTED UNDER HER TENURE. SO I AM GRATEFUL TO HER EVERY DAY, BECAUSE THE ENDOWMENT IS WHAT ALLOWS US TO GIVE BACK 100% OF EVERY CONTRIBUTION PENNY THAT WE RECEIVE BACK TO KIDS WHO HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS. AND THERE'S NOT NOT A LOT OF NONPROFITS THAT ARE ABLE TO DO THAT. IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE. I WAS WATCHING, COUNCILWOMAN FOWLER, YOU SAID YOU WERE WATCHING THE SEGMENT ON AT ROCK CASTLE COUNTY. ROCK CASTLE COUNTY HOSPITAL FUNDS GOING ALL THE WAY OUT TO THAT PARTICULAR HOSPITAL, TAKING CARE OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS. I MEAN, THIS ISN'T JUST REGION. I MEAN, THIS IS A LARGE AREA. SO ALTHOUGH THE CRUSADE IS A YEAR ROUND, EXTREMELY BUSY ENDEAVOR, DAWN WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE HER PHD IN 2021, FOCUSING ON NONPROFIT RESILIENCY. CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT AS WELL, OKAY. SO FOLKS, I WANT TO READ A PROCLAMATION TO, TO DAWN LEE. IF I COULD, AND THEN I WANT TO, WE GOT A SPECIAL, REALLY SPECIAL GUEST OVER HERE, DON'T WE? I MEAN, TO OUR TOGETHER. OKAY. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. SO WHAT? REAL QUICKLY, THIS IS JUNE 6TH, 2024, AS DAWN LEE DAY WAS CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN AND RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION FOR THE CELEBRATED SUCCESS OF DAWN LEE, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE WAS CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN. WE HONOR THIS EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN FOR HER LEADERSHIP AND STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH HER DEDICATED WORK IN MAKING LIFE BETTER FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. WHEREAS THIS YEAR'S 77 FOOT CRUSADE RAISED $5.7 MILLION AND COUNTING AND $217 MILLION COLLECTIVELY. DAWN, THIS IS INCREDIBLE AND WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE YOU TODAY, THIS JUNE 6TH DAY, FOR YOUR EFFORTS FOR THE CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN. CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU SIR.
[00:10:06]
NOW I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALSO TO HELP ME INTRODUCE OUR GUESTS. SO COULD YOU SWITCH SPOTS, MAYBE MOVE OVER THIS WAY. AND WE HAVE A REALLY SPECIAL GUEST HERE, COLLEAGUES. KEVIN ADAMS WAS BORN ON JANUARY 21ST, 1961. HE'S NOW 63 YEARS OLD WITH THE BIRTH DEFECT OF CEREBRAL PALSY AND HAS NEVER WALKED ON HIS OWN. KEVIN HAD CRUTCHES AND BRACES FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT STILL NEEDED ASSISTANCE WALKING. AT ONE TIME, HE COULD USE HIS ARMS TO FEED HIMSELF. KEVIN GRADUATED FROM THE CEREBRAL PALSY SCHOOL IN LOUISVILLE, WHICH WAS A VERY WAS VERY PROUD DAY FOR HIM AND HIS LOVING FAMILY. KEVIN COULD TINKER IN THE WORKSHOP OR WORK AT THE BUTCHER MEAT SHOP WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER WITH HIS FATHER, BILL, WHO PASSED AWAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH THE HELP OF HIS POWERED WHEELCHAIR, WHICH DOUG IS, AND WE KNOW VERY WELL HE COULD CUT HIS GRASS AT HIS HOUSE UP TO 20 YEARS OLD. HE ALSO COLLECTED HUNDREDS OF ALUMINUM CANS FROM ALL OVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT NEIGHBORS SAVED FOR HIM, AND HE WOULD CRUSH THEM IN THE DRIVEWAY.KEVIN LOVED FIRE TRUCKS AS A KID, WHICH LED HIM TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER FIREMAN. HE CAN DO CPR AND MANY OTHER TASKS. KEVIN IS AN OUTSTANDING CITIZEN. HE BEGAN TO SERVE AS VOLUNTARY BASIS THE ROLE OF DISTRICT 22 LIAISON TROUBLESHOOTER OR I CALL IT OMBUDSMAN, AND HELPING TO REPORT NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS OR PROBLEMS TO OUR OFFICE. AND I WILL TELL YOU FOLKS, AND I THINK, I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL THAT YOU WOULD BE IN THE SAME BOAT AS I WAS WHEN KEVIN ASKED ME TO GO OUT, TO GO OUT MAKING NOTES TO HOW WE COULD HELP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. MADAM PRESIDENT, I BROUGHT A NOTEBOOK LIKE THIS OVER TO HIS HOUSE. NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU AGREE THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE SUFFICIENT TO GO TAKE SOME NOTES ON MAYBE WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR DISTRICTS AND PROBLEMS? COME ON, COLLEAGUES, AGREE WITH ME. OKAY, KEVIN DIDN'T KEVIN TOLD HIS DAD TO GET INSIDE AND GO GET THIS COUNCILMAN A REAL NOTEBOOK THIS SIZE. AND I CAN SPEAK FOR MONICA HODGE, WHO'S HELPING OUT HERE. CHRIS LEWIS IS ON VACATION. MONICA WAS ACTUALLY THE BEST, THE BEST WE HAVE WE HAD DOWN HERE. AND SHE'S HERE AGAIN TONIGHT. OKAY. MONICA, CAN YOU CAN AGREE THAT I PASSED ON SEVERAL PAGES OF NOTES FROM KEVIN ADAMS WORK BOTH SIDES, FRONT AND BACK. THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH, FOLKS. NOT FOR KEVIN ADAMS. THAT'S THE TYPE OF PERSON HE IS WITH RAISING MONEY FOR THE CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN. LET ME CONTINUE ON. HE USED TO RIDE HIS POWER WHEELCHAIR ALONGSIDE ME AS I WALKED THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AS I JUST MENTIONED, NEIGHBORS WOULD ACTUALLY REPORT THESE ISSUES DIRECTLY TO KEVIN AT TIMES RATHER THAN MY OFFICE. HE WAS THE COUNTY OKAY, REALLY? SERIOUSLY, KEVIN ALWAYS GOT THE JOB DONE. KEVIN AND HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF SAINT GABRIEL FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, AND HE IS A MEMBER OF THE SAINT GABRIEL MEN'S CLUB AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO DATE. KEVIN STARTED BACK WHEN I WORKED THOSE THOSE STOPS, THOSE CORNERS. YOU SAW THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SPOKES OUT THERE. I WAS OUT THERE ON BARDSTOWN ROAD. HOW I'M STILL ALIVE TODAY WITH THAT TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE ON BARDSTOWN ROAD.
BUT FOR KEVIN ADAMS, WE DID IT. HE HAS COLLECTED 440,000 $450,000. THIS WAS FOR $450,000 FOR THE CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN. SINCE HE STARTED COLLECTING YEARS AGO. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, AND I WILL TELL YOU, DON, ONE OTHER THING, IF YOU GET THE RECORD NEWSPAPER, I THINK SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE, I ALSO SAW ANOTHER MEMBER, A CEREBRAL PALSY COLLEAGUE FROM HOLY SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT PARISH, THAT DONATED $150,000. INCREDIBLE FAMILY.
THIS IS AMAZING ORGANIZATION. SO, FOLKS, THIS IS ALSO JUNE 6TH AS KEVIN ADAMS DAY WAS CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN VOLUNTEER AND RECOGNITION OF APPRECIATION OF CELEBRATED SUCCESS OF KEVIN ADAMS AS A LIFELONG VOLUNTEER OF HIS CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN. WE HONOR THIS EXTRAORDINARY MAN FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH HIS TIRELESS AND DEDICATED WORK IN MAKING LIFE BETTER FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. WHEREAS AT THIS YEAR'S 71ST CRUSADE TELETHON, HELD JUNE 1ST AND SECOND, I WILL TELL YOU, KEVIN COLLECTED $20,000 JUST THIS YEAR ALONE. PEOPLE. RIGHT CHECKS TO CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN AND IN THEIR MEMO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S KEVIN ADAMS AND THAT'S HOW HE IS SO SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE HE IS WHO HE IS. KEVIN AS I MENTIONED,
[00:15:07]
HE'S BEEN AN OUTSTANDING CITIZEN. AND SO FOLKS, WILL YOU PLEASE WELCOME AND CONGRATULATE THIS INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL, KEVIN ADAMS, ON HIS WELL DONE WORK IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR THE CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN.KEVIN IS KEVIN IS ALSO NO SHORT OF WORDS, AND HE DOES LIKE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, GO OUT TO, YOU KNOW, BARS AND RESTAURANTS TO FOLKS. BUT, KEVIN, HOW IS THIS TONIGHT? HOW'S IT GOING? I THINK TONIGHT IS WONDERFUL. IT'S A GOOD EXPERIENCE. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING ME TO THIS MEETING. I WANT TO THANK ROBIN AND EVERYONE THAT'S WORKED WITH ME ALL YEAR LONG. AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, BEFORE THIS MEETING STARTED, I TURNED IN SOME MORE MONEY TO I. I TURNED IN SOME MORE MONEY TO DINE TONIGHT, SO I AM STILL GETTING MONEY IN. HE HE'S HE'S AT THE BACK OF CHURCH. HE'S BEEN AT THE BACK OF CHURCH AT SAINT GABRIEL, OUR PASTORS. IT'S HARD TO SAY NO TO KEVIN, I HAVE TO TELL YOU. BUT HE STARTS IN JANUARY, I THINK. BUT IT'S JUST WHAT HE IS.
KEVIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS. WELL ROBIN WILL NEVER KNOW ANY OTHER WAY. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AND MONICA FOR ALL THE YEARS I BURNED MONICA'S EAR UP ON THE PHONE, AND I'M ABOUT GIVE MONICA WRITER'S CRAMP AND YOU TOO. BUT I THINK WE'VE DONE A LOT OF GOOD WORK IN THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S ALL BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE. AGAIN AND ALSO, AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE, AND I WILL. I'M ALREADY ALREADY TALKED TO A FRIEND OF MINE TUESDAY NIGHT ABOUT, SOME THINGS FOR NEXT YEAR AT THE MEN'S CLUB MEETING, MADAM PRESIDENT, COLLEAGUES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

HE'S WITH SAINT GABRIEL'S MEN'S CLUB, AND HE'S AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL. HE'S A GREAT FRIEND. AND SO, JUST A QUICK ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR DOUG AS WELL. THANK YOU ALL. OKAY, DON. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN ENGEL. COUNCIL WOMAN. PIAGENTINI. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE D-DAY. YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. PRO TEM, JUST WANTED TO READ A BRIEF EXCERPT TODAY TO REMIND US OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS DAY, NOT JUST IN US HISTORY, BUT IN WORLD HISTORY. TODAY MARKS THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STORMING OF THE BEACHES AT NORMANDY, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS D-DAY. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, I'LL READ THIS BRIEF EXCERPT. D-DAY WAS THE NAME GIVEN TO THE JUNE 6TH, 1944 INVASION OF THE BEACHES AT NORMANDY IN NORTHERN FRANCE BY TROOPS FROM THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, THE UNITED KINGDOM AND OTHER COUNTRIES DURING WORLD WAR TWO. FRANCE, AT THE TIME WAS OCCUPIED BY THE ARMIES OF GERMANY AND THE AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT CODENAMED OPERATION OVERLORD LANDED SOME 156,000 ALLIED SOLDIERS ON THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY BY THE END OF THE DAY. DESPITE THEIR SUCCESS, SOME 4000 ALLIED TROOPS WERE KILLED BY GERMAN SOLDIERS DEFENDING THE BEACHES. AT THE TIME, THE D-DAY INVASION WAS THE LARGEST NAVAL, AIR AND LAND OPERATION IN HISTORY, AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS, ABOUT 326,000 TROOPS, MORE THAN 50,000 VEHICLES AND SOME 100,000 TONS OF EQUIPMENT HAD LANDED. BY AUGUST OF 1944, ALL OF NORTHERN FRANCE HAD BEEN LIBERATED, AND BY THE SPRING OF 1945, THE ALLIES HAD DEFEATED THE GERMANS.
HISTORIANS OFTEN REFER TO D-DAY AS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF WORLD WAR TWO. I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT AND RECOGNIZE, A DEBT TO THESE THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS THAT WE CAN NEVER
[00:20:07]
REPAY. AND THAT WE NEVER FORGET THE SACRIFICE THAT THEY GAVE, FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND TRULY THE PEACE OF THE WORLD. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN PIAGENTINI. MADAM CLERK, ARE THERE ANY ADDRESSES TO THE COUNCIL? YES, THERE ARE NONE. LET ME REMIND THOSE ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL TO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING ANY PROFANITY OR MAKING DEROGATORY STATEMENTS[4. ID 24-0361 Addresses to Council – June 6, 2024]
TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER, MARGARET BEAUMONT. GOOD EVENING. I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, MADAM PRESIDENT. AND THE COUNCIL, THIS IS. I'D LIKE TO HAVE A VERY SERIOUS MATTER THAT I COULD BRING BEFORE YOU. THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED NEXT DOOR TO ME, AND SHE LIKED DIGGING IN MY FLOWER POTS AND PULLING UP MY SOLAR LIGHTS. SO I ASKED HER ONE DAY I SAID, YOU KNOW WHO DID THAT? SHE SAID, NOBODY DID IT.SO I ASKED HER. I SAID, WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL NOBODY TO STOP DOING THAT? SHE SAID, MISS MARGARET, I REALLY WILL. CUTE STORY WITH A HORRIBLE ENDING. WHEN SHE BECAME A TEENAGER, SHE WAS FOUND HANGING FROM A TREE. THIS IS HARD FOR ME. THE CHILDREN WHO WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER SAID SHE WAS BEING BULLIED CONSTANTLY. WHEN THEY FOUND HER, HER HANDS WERE INSIDE THE ROPE AS IF SHE WAS TRYING TO GET UP AT HER WAKE. THE GIRLS THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SITUATION SHE WAS IN WERE STANDING OVER HER BODY WITH NO REMORSE DISCUSSING IT. TRUE STORY. IN 2023, THERE WAS A STUDY THAT SHOWED THAT OVER 40% OF HOMICIDES IN THE UNITED STATES WERE DUE TO BULLYING. THERE'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN HARASSING AND BULLYING. I READ ON HEALTHLINE.COM. PERSISTENT HARASSMENT BECOMES BULLYING. BOTH BOTH, BOTH THINGS ARE SEEKING TO FORCE A NEGATIVE REACTION FROM THE VICTIM AGAINST THEIR WILL. THEY FEEL THEY ARE ENTITLED TO DO THESE THINGS WITH NO REMORSE. VIOLENT CRIMINALS HAVE A PROCLIVITY, ALMOST LIKE A MOTH TO THE FLAME, TO VIOLENCE, AND ACTS OF VIOLENCE. THEY'RE EITHER COMMITTING BALANCE OR THEY'RE A VICTIM OF BALANCE. YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY BECOME THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEY HAVE NO CONCERN ABOUT REPERCUSSIONS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY ACTUALLY FILM IT AND PUT IT ON LIVE MEDIA. BULLYING IS THE SECRET KILLER. THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL OR SUFFER ANY REPERCUSSIONS. SO THEY PLOT 24 OVER SEVEN TO DESTROY THE VICTIM'S PEACE OF MIND. HOUSING LAWS DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF PROTECTION FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT ON SECTION EIGHT, AND WHO ARE ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED, AND THERE ARE VICTIMS OF BULLYING. LEGAL AID WILL ASSIST YOU IF YOU ARE ON SECTION EIGHT. IF YOU'RE NOT ON SECTION EIGHT, IT'S CONSIDERED A CIVIL MATTER AND THEY DO NOT REPRESENT CIVIL MATTERS. ATTORNEYS WANT 10 TO $20,000 TO FILE A CIVIL SUIT.
WHEN YOU CALL THE POLICE NOW, YOU'VE ENGAGED WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THAT NEGATIVE REACTION, BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A FIGHT. SO IT DOES. AND PLUS IT'S ALWAYS A BACK AND FORTH. THEY SO I FEEL THAT EACH PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PROPERTY AND GOVERN WHAT GOES ON ON THEIR PROPERTY. JUST LIKE IN MICHIGAN WHEN THEY SENTENCED THOSE PARENTS TO TEN YEARS FOR WHAT THEIR SON DID AT THAT HIGH PEOPLE, THE PROPERTY OWNERS SUPPLIED THE VENUE, SO THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY. I'VE TALKED TO SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE EXACT SAME THING THAT I'M GOING THROUGH, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN PEACE. TO US, THESE ARE HATE CRIMES. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WAKING UP AND FINDING A CROSS BURNING IN YOUR YARD. WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DIFFERENT. SO THEREFORE, I BESEECH THIS COUNCIL TO FIND IT IN YOUR HEARTS AND HANDS TO HELP THE NOBODIES. BECAUSE WE REALLY ARE SOMEBODY. WE'RE JUST DIFFERENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. JT LINGANORE. JT LENGACHER.
OKAY YES, YES. I'M MARCELLUS MAYES, PRESIDENT OF METRO DISABILITY COALITION. AND TARC3 USER I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE OCCURRING AT TARC, AND I'M HERE BECAUSE THE MAYOR I WAS AT HIS, HIS, PRIORITIES FOR THE YEAR WITH HIS BUDGET. AND I'M SAD TO SAY, IN
[00:25:05]
SUPPORTING THE MERIT THAT HE HAS FAILED HIS COMMUNITY, HE HAS FAILED LABOR. HE HAS FAILED THE PASSENGERS AND THE CONSTITUENTS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. AND HE HAS FAILED TO DISABLE COMMUNITY. WE HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL TAKE UP AND LOOK AT THE 2025 PLAN ON TRANSPORTATION AS WELL AS THE CHANGE OF, CARING, OF CHANGING TRANSPORTATION IN THE, JUNE 30TH. IT'S JUST TOO SOON FOR THIS COMMUNITY. I DON'T KNOW HOW A MAYOR THAT WAS SELECTED BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. SO I'M ASKING YOU, AS METRO COUNCIL MEMBERS, TO STEP FORWARD, TO KNOW THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON THAT RIDES A TARC BUS IS A 3038 YEAR OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN.IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIVIDE OF NINTH STREET TO WIDEN EVEN FURTHER AND YOU'RE GOING TO REDUCE WORK PARTICIPATION OF PEOPLE WHEN YOU REDUCE FIXED ROUTE BUSSES, FIXED ROUTE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS NOT THE ANSWER FOR JCPS. BOTH OF THEM NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY LEADERSHIP IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND THEY BOTH NEED TO BE FUNDED. AND WE NEED TO HAVE LEADERS IN THIS COMMUNITY TO DO NOT SACRIFICE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO RIDE, AND PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE A LOT FOR ANYTHING ELSE. WE SEE. LAST NIGHT, I JUST LOOKED AT THE NEWS THAT THEY SAID, KENTUCKY IS THE 47TH STATE FOR, LOW, HEALTH INCOME, HEALTH EQUITY FOR SENIORS, LOW AND AIR QUALITY.
EVERYBODY DOESN'T DRIVE A CAR. WE NEED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE A GUIDE HERE NOW THAT WANTS TO PRIVATIZE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ALLOW HIM TO DO THAT AND NOT LEAD THIS COMMUNITY. WE NEED YOU GUYS TO STEP UP THE DEMOGRAPHICS IS CLEAR THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. YES, THE NUMBERS ARE DOWN, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO UP BY ELIMINATE FUNDING FOR THAT. AND WE ONLY HAVE AN INFLUX OF AMERICAN RESCUE DOLLARS ONE TIME. THE TIME IS NOW TO FUND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN THIS COMMUNITY. YOU GUYS NEED TO STEP UP AND SHOW THIS MAYOR HOW LEADERSHIP SHOULD HAPPEN IN THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. KEVIN TOOMEY. KEVIN TOOMEY. ROGER ULMAN.
GOOD EVENI. MYAME ROGER ULN. I'MN THE RENEWABLE ENERGYLLIANCE OF UISVILLE. I WAS RECENTLY SURPRISED TO LEARN IN THE 8871 MILLION BUDGET, ONLY 200,000 IS GOING TO SOLAR ON METRO BUILDINGS. IT IS ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY SAVED BY THE ENERGY MANAGERS ENERGY EFFICIENCY EFFORTS. I AM HERE THIS EVENING TO ASK COUNCIL TO PROPOSE $1 MILLION INTO 2025 BUDGET FOR MET SOLAR. INDEED THE 2020 LOUISVILLE GREEN GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTION PLAN STATES LOUISVILLE METRO WILL LEAD BY EXAMPLE THROUGH INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PANELS ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS. I WOULD NOT BE HERE IF I DIDN'T HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR AND ENERGY CONSERVATION, IN ADDITION TO MY OWN HOME, I AM DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH ENERGY MANAGEMENT AT MY CHURCH AND ANOTHER NONPROFIT. ALL THREE OF EMPLOYED ENERGY EFFICIENCY, CONSERVATION AND SOLAR GENERATION. IN OVER FOUR YEARS, MY HOME HAD A 16% KILOWATT HOUR CREDIT UNTIL I PLUGGED IN AN ELECTRIC CAR. MY CHURCH REDUCED ITS 2023 ELECTRICITY USE BY OVER HALF FROM 2019, AND THE NONPROFIT HAD A 3000 KILOWATT HOUR CREDIT AT THE END OF 2023, WHILE WAITING FOR COMMUNITY AND UTILITY SCALE RENEWABLE ENERGY, METRO ROOFTOP SOLAR CAN EASE THE GROWING BURDEN OF THIS CLIMATE CRISIS THAT IS ALREADY BAKED INTO THE LIVES OF FUTURE LOUISVILLIANS NEW DELHI INDIA IS LIVING THAT FUTURE NOW, AND MAY. IT REACHED A HIGH OF 126 AND LAST WEEK'S DAILY HIGHS AVERAGED 111. IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE FEBRUARY, EARTH REACHED A GLOBAL WARMING MILESTONE, BRINGING TEMPERATURES TO THE 1.5°C INCREASE THAT SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN WARNING US ABOUT. IT ESTIMATES OF CLIMATE REFUGEES BY 2050 RANGE ANYWHERE
[00:30:09]
FROM 80 MILLION TO 1.2 BILLION. LISTEN LISTEN. I AM A DAD AND A GRANDPA. IF SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT LIMITS I WOULD GO TO PROTECT MY FAMILY, I BELIEVE MY ANSWER WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT FROM YOURS. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE GROWING PROBLEMS AND COST OF THIS CRISIS TO OUR YOUNGEST.LOUISVILLE NEEDS TO DO IT AND DO ITS PART. NOW. I URGE YOU INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR SOLAR TO $1 MILLION. THANK YOU. REVEREND GEORGE MACE, JUNIOR. MADAM PRESIDENT, I AM REVEREND GEORGE MACE JUNIOR. I'M HERE AS AN ADVOCATE. THIS IS NOT A PAID COMMERCIAL. I'M NOT PAYING. PAID BY ANYONE. BUT I AM CONCERNED TODAY ABOUT TARC AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. WHEN I'M TOTALLY DISABLED, I RETIRED FROM THE VA SYSTEM OUT AT RENO, NEVADA, AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SPARKS, NEVADA AS A CHAPLAIN. I'M CONCERNED TODAY OF THE MISMANAGEMENT OF TARC AND YOU AS THE COUNCIL, YOU ALL AS THE COUNCILMAN. HAVE TO SHOW SOME LEADERSHIP. I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO FIND IT IN THIS MAYOR. AT LEAST I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET. THE BEAUTY OF BEING BLIND IS I DON'T SEE COLOR. I SEE PEOPLE, I RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN WE ALL ARE AFFECTED, THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN YOU DO IT TO THE LEAST OF MY PEOPLE, YOU'VE DONE IT UNTO ME. SO I WANT TO. I HAVE COUNCILMANN PROSPECT, SCOTT, AND, HE I GOT AN EMAIL BACK FROM HIM AND HE SAID THAT, HE'S ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THE DISABLED. AND HE'S GOING, YOU KNOW, HE SHARES SOME OF THE SAME, PASSIONS THAT I HAVE ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH TARC. I WOULD LIKE TO, JUST FOR A MOMENT, THAT HE SITS ON A SUBCOMMITTEE EVERY MEETING I'VE BEEN TO. BOARD MEETING, THE BOARD DOESN'T RESPOND, WHEN I GO TO TALK. I'M GLAD THAT THE AUDIO SYSTEM IS WORKING HERE, BUT WHEN I GO TO TALK, THEY EITHER, WE HAVE ONE GENTLEMAN THAT FINDS IT COMICAL TO, DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM WHERE WE CAN'T SPEAK AND FAIL TO PUT THINGS UP. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. SO I WANT TO SAY TODAY WE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE DERBY AND HOW MUCH MONEY WE BROUGHT IN TO THE CITY. AND YOU CAN TALK ABOUT, THE $30 MILLION THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR BELOW NINTH STREET. AND THEN YOU MOVED THAT YOU YOU CAN SET UP ALL THE COMMITTEES YOU WANT, BUT UNLESS YOU SHOW A BLIND PERSON THE PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU ALL HAVE COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE. THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE, WE NEED TO HAVE NEW LEADERSHIP AT TARC. WOULD YOU GO, MADAM PRESIDENT, TO, SURGEON THAT HAS FAILED YOU? THAT'S JUST LIKE GOING BACK TO TALK AND PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO YOU. GOT TO GO BACK TO THE REASONS WHY TALK IS IN THE POSITION THEY HAVE THE HOLDING NO ONE ACCOUNTABLE. MONEY IS MISSING. WHY? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. IT'S BEEN MISMANAGEMENT. WE NEED A NEW FACE. WE NEED A NEW STRATEGY. AND YOU ALL GOT TO QUIT SITTING ON IT AND TALKING ABOUT IT AND COMING DOWN TO THE COMMUNITY AND DOING NOTHING. THANK YOU. YES. MORRIS. NO. MADAM PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT. MY NAME IS MORRIS. KNOWN. I'M A LEADER AT LOCAL KENTUCKY, AND AS A LEADER, I'VE BEEN ALLOWED TO FIGHT FOR WHAT I NEVER COULD. LIKE SO MANY FOLKS, IT TOOK A BAD A FEW CIRCUMSTANCES TO BECOME HOMELESS. FOR ME, IT TOOK A DIVORCE AND BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER FOR THE THIRD TIME, I NOW HAVE CANCER FOR THE THIRD TIME IN FIVE YEARS, AND IT DRAINED WHATEVER SAVINGS AND STABILITY I HAD. DESPITE ALL THAT, I DO MY BEST TO WAKE UP WITH A SMILE EVERY DAY. AND ANYBODY THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS I DO, THAT I DO NOT GET OUT OF MY
[00:35:03]
BED UNLESS I'M SMILING AND LAUGHING RIGHT NOW. I'M DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY AND THE LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES UNDERSTAND THAT THE CURRENT PROPOSED FEDERAL BUDGET LEAVES TOO MANY OF US BEHIND. AND AFTER THOROUGHLY CHECKING THE PROPOSED METRO BUDGET, I BELIEVE THAT THE LOCAL LAWMAKERS ARE FOCUSED ON CUTTING CORNERS THAT THEN CUTTING CORNERS THAN PROVIDING THE CARE THE PEOPLE NEED TO SURVIVE, TO THRIVE. I LOVE LOUISVILLE, I WAS BORN HERE AND RAISED HERE. I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR WHAT I LOVE WHEN HIT WITH ONE OF THE LOWEST TIMES OF SLEEPING ON COUCHES AND LIVING IN MY CAR, I WAS OFFERED SHELTER AT HOPE VILLAGE IN OCTOBER 23. IT'S SERVICES LIKE THESE THAT ARE AT RISK OF BEING CUT OR DOWNSIZED UNDER THE PROPOSED BUDGET, WHEN THEY ALREADY STRUGGLE TO MAKE UP FOR WHERE THE GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT HOPE VILLAGE, BUT IT'S NO MEANS PERFECT OR A LONG TERM SOLUTION. I DON'T HAVE ACCESS. I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO KEYS TO MY OWN SPACE, AND THERE ARE REPAIRS THAT GO UNFIXED FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. BECAUSE OF THIS, AT ONE POINT, SHOWERS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR WEEKS AND WE HAD TO GO TO SAINT JOHNS WHEREVER WE COULD TO TAKE A SHOWER. THESE PROBLEMS POINT TO A LARGER CRISIS. HOPE VILLAGE EXISTS AS A STOP GAP BECAUSE OUR CITY REFUSES TO INVEST IN HOUSING AND SERVICES AS. THE PAST STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, SAYS I VISITED CAPITAL AT LEAST TEN TIMES TO FIGHT FOR MY COMMUNITY. UNFORTUNATELY, STATE LAWMAKERS PASSED HOUSE BILL FIVE, A BILL THAT INCLUDES PROVISION TO BAN CAMPING AND DIRECTLY TARGET FOLKS THAT WHO ARE HOMELESS INVOLUNTARILY COMMIT PEOPLE, EXPERIENCE A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, AND CREATE A DRUG INDUCED HOMICIDE LAW. ESSENTIALLY THE BILL WILL CRIMINALIZE POVERTY WITHOUT CREATING CARING INFRASTRUCTURE TO, ACTUALLY HELP INDIVIDUALS IN THE LONG TERM. AS WE AS A CITY, LOUISVILLE, CAN COMBAT THESE DANGEROUS POLICIES BY INVESTING IN THE CARE AND SERVICES THAT SUPPORT PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE CRISIS OUR CITIES EXPERIENCES, THE RESULT OF POLICY FAILURES. EXACTLY WHAT THE LOUISVILLE METRO COUNCIL COULD COURSE CORRECT WITH THE RIGHT INVESTMENTS. WHAT LOUISVILLE NEEDS IS STRAIGHTFORWARD PUBLIC INVESTMENTS INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING. EVICTION. SORRY RONNIE MORRIS. YEAH SO MY NAME IS RONNIE MORRIS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY GIVE EACH ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THESE. IF SOMEBODY WOULD. THANK YOU, I WANT TO START OFF WITH US BEING LIKE, HEY, WE REALLY PRAISED OUR MAYOR, WHO SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT. IF ANYBODY CAN READ THIS BUDGET, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS TRANSPARENT IN IT. BESIDES, SO MUCH BUDGET CUTS AND THE POLICE CONTINUING TO GET MONEY. THANK YOU SO AT AT THE END OF THIS IT GET TO THAT. SO LOUISVILLE'S PROPOSED CITY BUDGET DOESN'T INVEST NEARLY ENOUGH, IN INTERSECTING CRISIS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PREVENTABLE OVERDOSE DEATHS AND THE NEED OF SERVICES, A BUDGET THAT FAILS TO INVEST IN OUR DEMANDS ULTIMATELY FAILS EVERY DAY. LOUISVILLIANS, LOUISVILLE'S INVESTMENT IN HOUSING SHOULD TARGET PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS BOTH OUR HOUSING SUPPLY AS WELL AS THE ACUTE HOUSING NEEDS THAT LOUISVILLE'S EXPERIENCE. EVERY DAY. OUR CITY MUST, FIRST OF ALL, INCREASE FUNDING TO LOUISVILLE'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND.LET'S INVEST $10 MILLION INSTEAD OF US GETTING MORE UNHOUSED PEOPLE OUT HERE. OKAY. WE NEED 10 MILLION TOWARDS A EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND EVICTION PREVENTION. INITIATIVES.
LOUISVILLE'S RENTS ARE SOME OF THE FASTEST GROWING IN THE COUNTRY. LOUISVILLE NEEDS 36,000 AFFORDABLE RENTAL UNITS FOR THOSE EARNING LESS THAN 25,000 A YEAR. SO SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE, OKAY, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP MINIMUM WAGE STILL IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY IS STILL WHAT, 750 AND YOU'VE GOT RENT THAT IS I LIVE IN THE WEST END. SO LET'S JUST SAY A THOUSAND. I DON'T SEE NOBODY MAKING THAT, AND THEN HERE'S THE OTHER ONE. THE SAFEST THE SAFEST COMMUNITY ARE THE ONES WITH THE MOST INVESTMENTS. AS WE CAN TELL, THE EAST END IS THE MOST INVESTED IN THE WEST
[00:40:05]
END. WE ALL FORGOT ABOUT, NOT NOT MORE POLICING. WE CANNOT ARREST OUR WAY OUT OF POVERTY OR HOMELESSNESS, BUT WE CAN INVEST IN SUPPORT SERVICES THAT CAN PREVENT ARREST. SO WITH THAT, I AM PONY. I'M AN ORGANIZER WITH VOCAL KENTUCKY. THANK YOU GUYS. LILY AND BRANT. BLESS YOU. GOOD EVENING. METRO CITY COUNCIL. ONCE AGAIN, I AM HERE TO SPEAK ON THE BEHALF OF THE AMALGAMATED TRANSIT UNION LOCAL 1447. AND UNFORTUNATELY, I'M STILL GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. AND THAT IS FUND PUBLIC TRANSIT. AND AS LONG AS I HAVE A BREATH IN MY BODY, I WILL SPEAK ON FUNDING PUBLIC TRANSIT. LOUISVILLE IS FACING A HUGE TRANSPORTATION CRISIS COMING UP, AND THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SHOCKING TO ANYONE. AS OF TODAY. RECENTLY, AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE WITH JCPS AND TARC THAT PRESERVED SOME JOBS, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT. BUT THAT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUES AT HAND. THEREFORE, THE FIGHT WILL CONTINUE, THE ADVOCACY WILL CONTINUE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COUNCIL PEOPLE HERE TODAY CAN DO, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M GOING TO NEED Y'ALL TO REACH OUT TO THE EMPLOYERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY, NOTIFY THEM THAT THERE IS A SERVICE CUT COMING, AND IT'S GOING TO AFFECT EVERY SINGLE ONE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT MAKE IT TO WORK AS THEY TRIED. IT'S GOING TO BE SOME PEOPLE WHO IS GOING TO BE LATE TO WORK. IT'S GOING TO BE SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT GO TO THE DOCTOR, JUST LIKE I HAVE. SO MANY TIMES BEFORE, AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IF USING MY VOICE, MY PLATFORM, MY TIME TO ADVOCATE FOR TRANSIT, NOT JUST FOR MY FAMILY WHO I HAVE A FATHER THAT IS A VIETNAM VETERAN WHO DEPENDS ON THE 63 ROUTE TO GET TO AND FROM THE VA HOSPITAL, WHO AT LEAST TWO TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. HE WAS STUCK OUT THERE ON A TARC STOP. THE UNION PRESIDENT FOR TALKS. FATHER STUCK OUT THERE ON A TARC. STOP THIS IS NOT JUST MY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT JUST YOUR ISSUE. AND WE'RE ASKING FOR A PARTNERSHIP TO RESOLVE AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE OCCUPATIONAL TAX THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DIVIDED IS NOT DIVIDED UP EQUALLY AND SIMILAR TO LIKE, WE WILL STEP UP TO THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE 15,000 KIDS WILL GET TO SCHOOL. WE NEED A COMMUNITY TO STEP UP FOR TRANSIT SO THEIR PARENTS CAN GET TO WORK. I ALSO WANTED TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES OF MY TIME TO RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM WHO'S BEHIND ME, BECAUSE IT TAKES COURAGE TO KEEP GETTING UP HERE AND USING THEIR VOICE TO SPEAK ON ISSUES THAT THEY BELIEVE IN. AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY LEAVE HERE FEELING LIKE THEIR VOICE IS GOING UNHEARD. WE'RE ASKING METRO CITY COUNCIL TO NOT ONLY USE YOUR VOICE, YOUR PLATFORM, BUT YOUR VOTE. WHEN VOTING ON THESE BUDGETS, TAKE IN CONSIDERATION HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION AND JOBS. THESE ARE ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE EVERYDAY CITIZEN. NO MATTER WHAT COMMUNITY THAT YOU LIVE IN, FUND PUBLIC TRANSIT. MADAM PRESIDENT PRO TEM, THIS CONCLUDES THE ADDRESSES TO COUNCIL. THANK YOU.

AS LOUISVILLE METRO GOVERNMENT HAS[58. R-057-24 AN EMERGENCY RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT AMONG THE BOARD OF WATER WORKS OF THE LOUISVILLE/JEFFERSON COUNTY METRO GOVERNMENT, KENTUCKY, AND THE LOUISVILLE AND JEFFERSON COUNTY METROPOLITAN SEWER DISTRICT RELATING TO THE ONE WATER PARTNERSHIP. Sponsors: Markus Winkler (D-17) ]
ONLY 30 DAYS FROM RECEIVING NOTICE TO EITHER APPROVE OR DENY THE AMENDED ONE WATER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE AGREEMENT AND IT IS, IT IS DEEMED EFFECTIVE BY OPERATION OF LAW WITHOUT COUNCIL ACTION. THE AGREEMENT'S EFFECTIVE DATE IS JUNE THE 10TH. SO THE VOTE TO CONSIDER NUMBER 58 AS AN EMERGENCY PURSUIT TO RULE 7.01, IT WILL NEED A TWO THIRDS VOTE TO CONSIDER THE SPECIAL LEGISLATION AS AN EMERGENCY. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, COUNCILMAN KRAMER, I WAS READING THE REASON THAT IT'S EMERGENCY, APPARENTLY, THIS WAS DELIVERED TO THE COUNCIL ON MAY 10TH, AND WE ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS. AND THAT MAKES TONIGHT, AN EMERGENCY, MY QUESTION TO WHOMEVER IS, IS TO WHOM WAS IT DELIVERED? ON MAY 10TH? AND WHY IS IT THAT WHEN WE RECEIVED THIS, WE DIDN'T TAKE ACTION? WE HAD TIME? IF IT WAS DELIVERED ON MAY 10TH, WE HAD A COUPLE DIFFERENT COMMITTEE MEETINGS, A COUPLE DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEETINGS. WE WOULD HAVE HAD TIME TO TALK ABOUT THIS, TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS, IN FACT, WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS. AND I'M ASSUMING IT PROBABLY IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S AN EMERGENCY FOR US TONIGHT. AND SO I'M CURIOUS, TO WHOM WAS THIS DELIVERED? IT SAYS THE COUNCIL GOT ON THE 10TH. SO CAN WE SPEAK TO THAT COUNTY ATTORNEY, TRAVIS FEASTER, ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY, I'M LOOKING THROUGH NOW TO SEE IF THERE'S MAYBE A STAMP. I'M NOT SURE WHICH INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUALS MAY HAVE RECEIVED IT. I ASSUME THERE WAS LIKELY A COPY SENT BOTH TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND SOMEWHERE FOR COUNCIL, BUT I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE. IN ANY CASE, IF IT WAS THE 10TH, UNLESS IT WAS SORT OF IMMEDIATELY HANDED OVER FOR, I THINK A NEW BUSINESS DEADLINE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK IF I'M DOING THAT MATH OR THAT MONDAY. SO IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LATE ON A FRIDAY AND NOT GOTTEN ROLLED OVER. AND HERE WE ARE ON THE NEXT DEADLINE. SO EVEN IF IT HAD GONE PERFECTLY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY TIGHT TURNAROUND. AND I KNOW THAT OUR OFFICE DIDN'T RECEIVE IT IN TIME TO GET IT ON TO THAT FIRST AGENDA. EVEN IF IT MISSES THE DEADLINE. I MEAN, WE, THE PRESIDENT, HAS THE ABILITY TO ADD SOMETHING TO THE AGENDA, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S IT WOULD SEEM MORE REASONABLE TO ME THAT THIS WOULD BE ADDED TO AN AGENDA EARLY AS AN EMERGENCY FOR THAT MEETING, SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT BETWEEN THEN AND NOW. AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS, YOU SAID YOU COULD[01:00:05]
BE DELIVERED TO THE MAYOR, BUT AS I READ THE, THE, THE WHEREAS THE WHEREAS SAID DELIVERED TO THE METRO COUNCIL, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, THAT'S OUR SIDE OF THE STREET.GIVE ME JUST A SECOND. LET ME PULL THE ORIGINAL EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED. I CAN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO IT WAS SENT TO ME BY, AND MAYBE THAT'LL GIVE ME SOME CLUE. MADAM PRESIDENT, IF I MAY, I DON'T THINK THAT I DON'T THINK THAT THIS CONVERSATION IS GOING TO CHANGE. WHAT'S BEFORE US.
RIGHT? I MEAN IT THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN, IT IS AN EMERGENCY TONIGHT, WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT. WE DO HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS, I JUST WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS SO THAT WE COULD MAKE IT CLEAR TO WHOMEVER. AND WHEREVER THESE THINGS SHOW UP, IT THESE SHOULDN'T BE EMERGENCIES. WE CREATED THIS EMERGENCY. WELL, SOMEONE IF, IN FACT, WE RECEIVE THIS ON MAY 10TH, WE BEING THE COUNCIL, SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE COUNCIL, WE CREATED THIS AS AN EMERGENCY, AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT THAT OUT AND ASK THAT GOING FORWARD, WE'RE A BIT MORE CAREFUL WHEN THINGS ARE THIS KIND OF TIME SENSITIVE. SO I GUESS I'M ASKING FOR A YES VOTE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PRESIDENT WINKLER? YES, MA'AM. AND I APOLOGIZE FOR SOME REASON. AND, SONIA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN. I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CUE IN. I MEAN, I HAVE THE SPEAKERS, BUT YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT, SO YOU CAN'T. I'LL GET THAT FIXED, SIR.
THANK YOU, YEAH. SO TO ANSWER, COUNCILMAN KRAMER'S QUESTION, I BELIEVE THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AS WE RECEIVED IT ON MAY 13TH WAS WHEN WE ACTUALLY GOT IT. SO IT WAS AFTER THE NEW BUSINESS DEADLINE. WE SENT IT TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT ACTUALLY CAME AS LEGISLATION ACTION, AND SO BY THE TIME WE GOT IT BACK FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, THAT'S WHY IT'S AN EMERGENCY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR HERE, I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I'M GOING TO TRY TO RUSH SOMETHING THROUGH THE THROUGH THE METRO COUNCIL. I CAN SELECTIVELY PUT CHOOSE WHEN I FILE SOMETHING IN WHICH I SAY SHAME ON THEM. IS THAT THE CASE OR IS THIS THE CASE OF IT WAS SOMETHING PROPERLY TIMED? AND THEN THERE WERE OTHER FACTORS THAT DELAYED IT BECAUSE THAT AFFECTS MY VOTE HERE. I MEAN, THIS COULD BE THE GREATEST THING SINCE APPLE PIE, BUT IF YOU'RE A PERSON OR AN AGENCY THAT IS FILING SOMETHING STRATEGICALLY TO CREATE AN EMERGENCY, I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE GREATEST THING SINCE APPLE PIE. I'M GOING TO VOTE NO TO SEND A MESSAGE FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. YOU DON'T PULL TRICKS LIKE THIS ON THIS BODY. IF OTHERWISE, THOUGH, THIS IS A POTENTIAL MISTAKE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PART THAT HAS CREATED THE EMERGENCY. MAYBE I NEED TO RETHINK THAT. WHILE COUNCILMAN KRAMER IS SAYING THAT HE'S A YES VOTE AT THIS MOMENT, UNTIL I FIND OUT THAT THE TRICKERY WAS NOT AT PLAY, I'M A NO VOTE. REGARDLESS OF HOW GREAT THE IDEA MAY BE. JUST SO I SEND A MESSAGE IN THE FUTURE, NOT THE THREAT, THE ACTUAL MESSAGE. DON'T PULL THIS CRAP ON THIS BODY. THANK YOU. MADAM, CAN SOMEONE ANSWER ME THAT QUESTION? COUNCILMAN, PRESIDENT WINKLER.
YEAH. SO AGAIN, I'LL LET TRAVIS WEIGH IN, BUT I BELIEVE THE SORT OF ANSWER IS IT WAS SENT AS A NOTIFICATION BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ACTION BY COUNCIL. AND THEN THE ADVICE FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY WAS, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN LIKE PRESIDENT WINKLER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING, RIGHT. OR IF YOU WANT THE BODY TO WEIGH IN ON THIS, THEN WE NEED A RESOLUTION TO SAY YES OR NO. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? IF I MAY, JUST SO I CAN PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT THAT I, THAT I PROMISED SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE, THE LETTER ITSELF, WHICH IS TITLED BOTH SENT BOTH TO OR AT LEAST ADDRESSED TO BOTH MAYOR GREENBERG AND PRESIDENT WINKLER WAS POSTMARKED THE 10TH, IT LOOKED LIKE THE FIRST EMAIL IN THIS CHAIN WAS FROM MONDAY THE 13TH, SO IT'S POSSIBLE IT WAS MAILED OVER THE WEEKEND. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE STATUTE SPEAKS TO WHETHER IT NEEDS TO BE RECEIVED OR SENT. IT'S PROBABLY APPLICABLE TO THE MAILBOX RULE. SO I MEAN, IT'S PROBABLY BEEN THE TECHNICAL 30 DAYS UNDER THE STATUTE, I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THERE WAS ANY SORT OF FOUL PLAY THERE. I MEAN, THIS IS A MONDAY EMAIL IMMEDIATELY SAYING, HEY, THIS IS WHAT YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BY NOW. SO I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN POOR TIMING AND THE MAKEUP OF THE CALENDAR. BUT OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE MINDSET OF ANYBODY INVOLVED. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NO ONE IN THE QUEUE MAY I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND TO CONSIDER NUMBER 50, ITEM NUMBER 58 AS AN EMERGENCY. SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? NO THE AYES HAVE IT.

I'M SORRY I CAN'T GET ALL THOSE WORDS OUT. PRESIDENT PRO TEM, THIS PROPOSAL CALLS FOR A NEW RETAIL COMMERCIAL CENTER WITH A GROCERY STORE, A 48,387FT■!S WIH AN ACCESSORY. ADDITIONAL ACCESSORY COMPANION TO THAT FOR LIKE ALCOHOL SALES OF 3200FT■!S. THE PARCEL IS LOCATED IN THE TYLER RURAL SETTLEMENT HISTORIC DISTRICT. IN 2010, THE SITE WAS SUBJECT TO AN AREA WIDE REZONING TO ESTABLISH THE TYLER TOWN CENTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PD. THE PD IS PART OF THE LDC, WHICH CAPS THE DEVELOPMENT AT 20,000FT■!S. IS THAT CORRECT? TRAVIS YES. IT IS, CAN I SPEAK ON THAT FOR JUST A SECOND, MADAM? YES. AND THEN I WILL FOLLOW UP. THANK YOU. I GUESS I'M GONNA REINTRODUCE MYSELF, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO STATE IT AGAIN, FOR THE PUBLIC WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING AT HOME, AT COMMITTEE, THERE WAS DISCUSSION ON THIS CASE, AND, THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHAT SIZE THEY COULD CURRENTLY BUILD A BUILDING TO, THE NUMBER WAS QUOTED AS 40,000FT■!S, AND THAT WAS INCORRECT. THE CORRECT NUMBER IS 20,000FT■!S. SO IF THERE'S ANY CONFUSION ON THAT POINT, WHAT THEY COULD CURRENTLY BUILD ON PROPERTY IS A BUILDING OF 20,000FT■!S. SO THEY ARE THEY'RE CURRENTLY MORE THAN DOUBLE, THAT PERMITTED, THEY'RE NOT JUST A COUPLE THOUSAND OFF. YES. AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IT WAS CORRECTED. THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY KNEW IT WAS 20,000FT■!S ONLY AT THE COMMITT. AND I LOOK BACK THROUGH THE RECORD, EVEN PART OF THE RECORD, IT DOES STATE 40,000FT■!S. BUT ALTHOUGH CORRECTED THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY HAD THE RIGHT NUMBERS. IT DIDN'T MATTER TO US BECAUSE THE COMMITTEE VOTED 6 TO 1 TO ONE, SIX, SIX YES VOTES TO UPHOLD THE DENIAL ONE NO VOTE AND ONE PRESENT VOTE BECAUSE WE FELT THAT IF IT'S 8000 OVER 8000FT■!S, IN VIOLATION OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, OR. EXCUSE ME, NOT JUST THAT, BUT THE PLANS, THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT IT ALSO WAS BIGGER THAN THE 20,000 WOULD BE, WOULD BE ALMOST OVER DOUBLE THE SIZE, IF YOU CHANGE TO C-1, IT ALLOWS FOR AN 80,000 SQUARE FOOT GROCERY. WE THE PLANNING TO DESIGN STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDED DENIAL, AND THEY'RE STATING, AND I QUOTE, THE ZONING CHANGE IS NOT ADEQUATELY JUSTIFIED AND DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE PROPOSED USE COULD BE PERMITTED ON THE SUBJECT SITE UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING AT A SMALLER SCALE, WITH A MORE COMPACT DESIGN. THE ZONING CHANGE WOULD PERMIT A GREATER INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT THAN ANTICIPATED. IN THE TYLER RURAL SETTLEMENT NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, END OF QUOTE, NEXT QUOTE. THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD NET NEGATIVE IMPACT THE TYLER SETTLEMENT RURAL HISTORY DISTRICT BY DEMOLISHING HISTORIC STRUCTURES. END OF QUOTE. THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED 3 TO 2 TO DENY. THE COMMITTEE VOTED SIX TO 1 TO 1 TO UPHOLD THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO DENY AND I THINK, MADAM CHAIR, I ALSO WANT TO STATE THAT THIS IS IN COUNCILMAN BENSON'S DISTRICT, DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO COUNCILMAN KRAMER'S DISTRICT. COUNCILMAN BENSON DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY SHAPE, MATTER OR FORM IN THE DISCUSSION. HE DID NOT APPEAR AT THE COMMITTEE MEETING. AND HE. THERE IS A LETTER IN THE FILE THAT'S PART OF THE RECORD THAT GIVES AN ABSOLUTE REASON WHY HE IS ABSTAINING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT FOR YOURSELF, IT'S IN THE RECORD. OKAY. COUNCILMAN BENSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT? YES, MA'AM. I APPRECIATE IT, I WILL BE RECUSING MYSELF FROM THIS CASE BECAUSE I WAS ON THE BOARD OF
[01:35:01]
BLACKACRE CONSERVANCY, THE BOARD VOTED TO, VOTED TO ISSUE A WRITTEN STATEMENT ON THIS CASE, A DISCUSSION AND A VOTE, WHICH I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN. AND AFTER WHICH CONSULTING WITH BOTH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THE ETHICS COMMITTEE REGARDING MY ABILITY TO ACT ON ON THE MATTER MOVING FORWARD, BASED ON THE GUIDANCE FROM THE ETHICS COMMITTEE, I HAVE RESIGNED FROM THE BLACKACRE BOARD AND I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION OR, VOTING ON THIS CASE AT EITHER THE COMMITTEE OR THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN KRAMER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? THANK YOU, AS COUNCILWOMAN FLOOD POINTED OUT, THIS IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO DISTRICT 11, AND I BECAME INVOLVED IN THIS PARTLY WITH REDISTRICTING. THIS IS LITERALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME NOW, BUT ALSO, I BECAME MORE THAN JUST AWARE SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, WAS DISCUSSED, PROPOSED, AND WORKED OUT BY, BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BY NEIGHBORS, BY THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, BY DEVELOPERS, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF INPUT INTO WHAT THAT PLAN DESIGN SHOULD LOOK LIKE. AND SINCE THAT TIME, SINCE THE PLAN DESIGN HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, PART OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION BACK AND FORTH ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND WHAT KINDS OF, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS MIGHT GO THERE, IT WAS NEVER CONTEMPLATED THAT SOMEONE WOULD COME IN AND, AND PROPOSE BUILDING SOMETHING THAT WAS THREE TIMES THE SIZE. RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S 20,000FT■!S. WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS ALMOST 60,000FT■!S, IT WAS THAT WAS NER EVEN CONTEMPLATED. AND SO WHEN THE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SAID THAT THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION AT THE COMMITTEE, THERE WAS NO CONFUSION AT THE COMMITTEE, THE NUMBER 2040. THAT'S THE POINT WAS 20,000 WAS WAS WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. 40,000 WAS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT WAS THE MAXIMUM, AND THEY WERE ASKING FOR 50,000. SO FOLKS WERE SAYING 10,000 IS TOO MUCH. SURELY IF WE THOUGHT 10,000 WAS TOO MUCH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT 30,000 IS THAT MUCH MORE. TOO MUCH, AND AGAIN, IT PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE, 6 TO 1. SO I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES TONIGHT, PLEASE DON'T ALLOW FOR ANY CONFUSION. THERE WAS NO CONFUSION AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL, THERE'S NO CONFUSION ABOUT WHAT THIS DOES. IT SIMPLY PRESERVES A PLAN. DISTRICT THE WAY THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE COMMUNITY, THE DEVELOPERS, IT RECOGNIZES AND APPRECIATES THE WORK THAT WAS DONE. AND SO IF SOMEONE SAYS TO YOU, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO TABLE THIS SO WE CAN HAVE MORE TIME THERE, THE THIS IS A PLANNING THIS IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S WE CAN'T NEGOTIATE A CHANGE IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT. WE EITHER VOTE ON THE ZONING CHANGE OR OR THEY BUILD WITHIN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR IF THEY WANT TO, THEY COULD ALWAYS GO BACK AND MAKE AN EFFORT TO CHANGE THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT. BUT YOU KNOW, STALLING ON THIS WON'T DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING, IT'S EITHER. YES. WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE ZONING OR. NO, WE'RE NOT. THE PLANNING COMMISSION SAID WE SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE ZONING.THE ORDINANCE THAT WE PUT FORWARD SAYS WE SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE ZONING. AND SO I'M ASKING FOR A YES VOTE. THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, THE QUEUE IS NOT QUITE WORKING. BUT WHAT I SEE IS AKESSON FLOOD AND FOWLER. IN THAT ORDER. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. MY RESPECTFUL COLLEAGUE, DISTRICT 11, I, I DISAGREE WITH YOU. I THINK THERE IS SOME CONFUSION AND I HAVE SOME CONFUSION. AND ON TOP OF IT, I THINK THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT PROJECT.
AND BECAUSE OF SUCH, I THINK THAT THEY THERE SHOULD BE SOME MORE CONSIDERATION WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRYING FOR GROWTH, TRYING FOR MORE GROCERY STORES, TRYING FOR MORE COMPETITION TO, TO GET PAST THE CONFUSION AND ALSO SEE IF THERE'S ANY MORE DISCUSSIONS THAT COULD BE HAD TO COME TO SOME AGREEMENT ON THIS. AND AS SUCH, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS. I DON'T THINK TWO WEEKS MATTERS. IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK ANY PROJECT, BUT TWO WEEKS IS A REASONABLE TIME FOR THIS BODY TO LOOK FOR THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE A HOME RUN IN THIS SITUATION. AND AS SUCH, I'M MAKING A MOTION TO TABLE. I'M HOPEFUL THAT THERE WILL BE A SECOND I SECOND, SECOND. IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO TABLE THIS, ALL THOSE IN THE, I DON'T THINK IT'S DEBATABLE.
