[2. ID 24-0550 Addresses to Council – September 5, 2024]

OR MAKING DEROGATORY STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS THE FIRST SP, BRENDA GUY. BRENDA GUY. DEAN THOMAS. HELLO. I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK FOR A MINUTE. SO WE HAVE ABOUT THREE MINUTES. IS THAT WHAT IT IS? OKAY. I'M A LOUISVILLE RESIDENT. I WAS BORN IN SHIVELY AND THEN LIVED PART OF MY LIFE IN NEWBERG. SO, I'VE LIVED IN LOUISVILLE MOST OF MY LIFE AND THEN SPENT SOME TIME IN LOS ANGELES. I'M AN ARTIST AND A MUSICIAN, AND I'M HERE TODAY TO, PROPOSE SOMETHING THAT I FOUND OUT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROPOSED BEFORE, NUMEROUS TIMES. BUT IF I CAN FIND A WAY TO HELP MOVE IT ALONG, WOULD BE. WOULD BE MY GOAL HERE, THIS IS TO TAKE NANNY GOAT STRUT AND TURN IT INTO AN ALLEY FOR ARTISTS AND ARTISANS AND FOOD TRUCKS AND VENDORS, I DO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE TOLD ME THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED BEFORE. IN FACT, QUITE A WHILE. BUT I THINK THAT THE TIME IS EXCELLENT TO, YOU KNOW, READDRESS THE ISSUE, BECAUSE ON ONE SIDE OF NANNY GOAT STREET ALLEY, NOW WE'VE GOT BOB DYLAN COMING IN THERE, YOU KNOW, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, WALTERS HOUSE IS OPENING A WONDERFUL VENUE THAT WILL HAVE LIVE JAZZ MUSIC, ART,

[00:15:04]

IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE A IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A WHISKEY DISTILLERY STORE, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN THAT. AND THE ENTIRE ALLEY IS PRETTY DISHEVELED PLACE. BUT IT'S GOT THIS GREAT NAME, NANNY GOAT STRUT. IT'S GOT A LOT OF HISTORY. THERE ARE WONDERFUL HISTORICAL BUILDINGS, I JUST WALKED THROUGH THERE AND I'M WALKING EAST TO WEST. THERE'S AN EXCELLENT, OLD STRUCTURE AT THE CORNER OF A OF CLAY AND NANNY GOAT. AND THEN ACROSS THE STREET THERE'S A, I GUESS, A PARKING LOT THAT THE CITY IS PUTTING IN. THERE'S A GREAT BIG PARKING LOT AND SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO PARK THERE COULD BE GIVEN A PART OF THEIR PARKING TICKET, A DOLLAR OFF OF THE FOOD TRUCKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO TELL, YOU KNOW, THE DETAILS OF WHAT TO DO HERE, BUT THERE'S JUST IDEAS. THERE'S A PRETTY, PRETTY BAD AREA DOWN THROUGH THERE WHERE THERE'S SOME OF THAT BARBED WIR, AND. BUT THE OWNER OF THAT, FACILITY, THAT PARKING LOT IS EMPTY, AND HIS BUILDINGS GO ONLY TO ABOUT TEN FEET BEHIND THAT FENCE. SO MAYBE THE CITY COULD APPROACH HIM ABOUT THE OWNER, HIM OR HER, ABOUT OPENING THAT AREA UP FOR THE VENDORS AND ARTISANS AND FOOD TRUCKS ON DOWN THE ALLEY. THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT LITTLE SPOTS. THERE'S A WONDERFUL MURAL. THAT VENDORS COULD SIT UP IN FRONT OF.

THERE'S A LOT OF AREA FOR PARKING, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO RENDER INTO A COOL LITTLE PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO WALK THROUGH, IN FACT, PEOPLE IN MY PERSUASION, ARTISTIC TYPE PEOPLE KIND OF LIKE IT ROUGH AND EDGY. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NEED EVERYTHING ALL FIXED UP AND CLEAN, AND, SO I DON'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO DO THIS, BUT JUST TO READDRESS THE IDEA OF AN OPEN AIR, WEAKENED ARTS AND LIVE MUSIC, FOOD VENDOR TRUCKS, AND A PLACE WHERE OUR LOCAL ARTISANS AND, AND ENTREPRENEURS AND ARTISTS CAN GATHER TO SHOW THEIR WORK TO THE CITY, IN THE NOW UPCOMING, NULU, WHICH IS THE PERFECT SPOT. WE HAVE A HISTORIC ALLEY WITH A COOL NAME IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THE HOTTEST SPOTS IN THE CITY. I THINK IT SOUNDS PERFECT. THANK YOU, SUSAN BUCCINO. HI, I'M SUSAN BUCCINO, AND I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY ADVOCATES FOR RESOURCES AND EMPOWERMENT OR CARE. WE OPERATE OUT OF THE ARTHUR STREET HOTEL, WHICH WAS OPENED IN OCTOBER 2022 TO ADDRESS LOUISVILLE'S HOMELESSNESS CRISIS BY WELCOMING THE SEGMENT OF THE UNHOUSED POPULATION WHO OTHERWISE REMAIN ON THE STREETS WITH A CAPACITY OF 100 ROOMS, THE ARTHUR STREET HOTEL AIMS TO AUGMENT ACCESS TO HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, DISMANTLE BARRIERS TO RESOURCES, AND SAVE LIVES. IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, 360 PEOPLE HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE HOTEL INTO PERMANENT HOUSING OR OTHER PROGRAMING THAT SUPPORTS POSITIVE OUTCOMES, SUCH AS TREATMENT. THAT'S 85% OF OUR GUESTS. BY PROVIDING SHELTER, POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES WITH A HOUSING FIRST AND HARM REDUCTION MODEL, WE AIM TO STABILIZE AND HOUSE VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS. WE OFFER CRUCIAL SUPPORT FOR HOUSING, NAVIGATION, PEER SUPPORT, CASE MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION SERVICES. WE ALSO INVITE PARTNER AGENCIES TO OFFER SERVICES ON CAMPUS, INCLUDING PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE, THE SYRINGE EXCHANGE, THE COMMON ASSESSMENT TEAM, MCOS, THE VA AND OTHER HOUSING PROVIDERS. ARTHUR STREET HOTEL PROVIDES COMMUNITY. WE WELCOME SOME OF LOUISVILLE'S MOST MARGINALIZED RESIDENTS. IN FACT, OUR HOTEL GUESTS HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY FROM EMERGENCY SHELTERS REJECTED BY HOSPITALS, AND CLEARED FROM PUBLIC SPACES DUE TO THEIR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. STAFF BUILD TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS, WORK THROUGH CHALLENGES, AND DE-ESCALATE CRISES SO THAT GUESTS CAN STAY AT ARTHUR STREET WHILE MAINTAINING COMMUNITY SAFETY RATHER THAN BARRING THEM FOR DISPLAYING SYMPTOMS OF TRAUMA. ARTHUR STREET HOTEL EMPLOYS ADVOCACY. WE ARE FIERCE ADVOCATES FOR OUR CLIENTS ON BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND SYSTEMIC LEVELS. WE HOLD EACH OTHER AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS ACCOUNTABLE SO THAT CLIENTS RECEIVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED WHILE CHALLENGING SYSTEMIC FAILURES, BARRIERS AND GAPS THAT OPPRESS AND EXCLUDE PEOPLE FROM LIVING IN POVERTY. THE ARTHUR STREET HOTEL OFFERS RESOURCES, SERVICES AND SHELTER ARE FREE TO ALL CLIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR LENGTH OF STAY. IN ADDITION TO THE OPERATIONS AT THE HOTEL, ARTHUR STREET HOTEL STAFF PROVIDE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, OFFER RESOURCES AND SERVICES IN THE HOTEL LOBBY, AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HOUSED AT THE ARTHUR STREET HOTEL. EMPOWERS THOSE WE SERVE A PRIVATE ROOM OFFERS DIGNITY, STABILITY AND AGENCY. WE STRIVE TO RESPECT CLIENTS CHOICES WHILE SUPPORTING THEM TO HAVE MORE AVAILABLE OPTIONS. WE ALSO SUPPORT CLIENTS TO BUILD THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO MAINTAIN

[00:20:04]

A PERMANENT HOME. HOMELESSNESS IS A COMMUNITY WIDE ISSUE THAT REQUIRES COMMUNITY DRIVEN SOLUTIONS, AND THE ARTHUR STREET HOTEL IS COMPLETELY COMMUNITY DRIVEN. LESS THAN 20% OF OUR $4 MILLION BUDGET IS PROVIDED BY LOCAL AND STATE OPIOID ABATEMENT FUNDS. THE REMAINDER OF OUR WORK IS PRIVATELY FUNDED. FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL, NO ONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY IS DOING WHAT WE DO.

WE'RE HERE TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL MODEL THAT APPLIES BEST PRACTICE AND PAVES THE WAY TOWARD MAKING LOUISVILLE A BETTER HOME FOR ALL. COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS SEAN DANIELS. GOOD EVENING. HOW ARE YOU DOING, MY NAME IS ME, SEAN DANIELS, OR BETTER KNOWN AS UNCLE ME. SEAN. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE CITYWIDE PRAYER VIGIL. I THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. SHOULD HAVE THAT. WHO IN HERE KNOW WHO, SIR. FRIENDLY IS? EVERYBODY SURE HAND. EVERYBODY KNOW WHO SIR FRIENDLY IS. OKAY, GREAT, BECAUSE I'M A PART OF SIR FRIENDLY AND HIS WISDOM TO PUT TOGETHER THIS VIGIL. THIS MAKING THE FOURTH VIGIL. EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT THE VIOLENCE AND THE THINGS THAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ACROSS THE WORLD. AND I WISH WE WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HAPPENED IN GEORGIA AS WELL. JUST VIOLENCE, VIOLENCE AND VIOLENCE. WELL, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT PRAYER WORKS. PRAYER WORKS. AND THE ORGANIZATION THAT I'M INVOLVED WITH IS GOD'S LIVES MATTER. AMERICA IS A NEW ORGANIZATION THAT I'M PART OF. THE BOARD MEMBERS, LET ME SAY IT AGAIN. GOD'S LIVES MATTER. AMERICA. DID Y'ALL CATCH THAT? GOD'S LIVES MATTER. AMERICA. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT IT'S THROUGH AMERICA THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. BUT MY PARTNER DECIDED THAT PRAYER WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST THING THAT WE NEED TO START WITH. AND SO I WROTE DOWN THREE THINGS. PRAYER IS NUMBER ONE, TWO IS WORK. THE ACRONYM FOR WORK, WISDOM, OPPORTUNITY, RESPECT, AND KNOWLEDGE. THAT MEANS WHEN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US APPLY WISDOM, OPPORTUNITY, RESPECT AND KNOWLEDGE. CAN PRAYER WORKS. AND IN HUMANITY, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US GOT A HUMANITY. NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS ALL OF US COME TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. AND SO OUR GOAL IS THROUGH THIS.

FOURTH, WE WANT EVERYBODY TO COME TO THE JEFFERSON PARK. THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE, AND I'M EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS. SIR. FRIENDLY IS A GOOD FRIEND. I'M NOT ORIGINALLY FROM HERE. I MET THAT GENTLEMAN WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED HERE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS, BUT I SAW HIS WORK. I AM PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED. I'M A VETERAN. HE'S A VETERAN. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TAKE AN OATH IN THE MILITARY IS TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY FROM FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. I THINK WE'RE DEALING WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DOMESTIC ISSUES IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND I LIKE THE FACT OF STANDING WITH MY BROTHER, MY VETERAN BROTHER, ABOUT TRYING TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS AGAIN. I'M UNCLE SEAN, THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK I'M NOT YOUR BLACK AMERICA. WE WOULD LIKE TO EACH AND HAVE ALL OF YOU COME OUT TO SIX IN JEFFERSON, THE SEPTEMBER THE 21ST AT 6:00. COME STAND WITH US IN PRAYER AND WORK AND OUR JOINT HUMANITY. THANK YOU. AND I'M UNDER TIME. OKAY CHRIS. KRIS DOOLAN. HELLO. HOW ARE YOU DOING? GOOD EVENING, I MAY NOT HAVE HAD SOMEBODY THAT HAS LOST THEIR LIFE BY GUN VIOLENCE, BUT I KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE. AND THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH TRAUMA AFTER TRAUMA, TRAUMA AND KIDS HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO THE PRAYER VIGIL TO MYSELF IS, IT'S CALLED CITYWIDE PRAYER VIGIL.

AND WE WANT TO BRING YOU GUYS IN AND SHOW THE SUPPORT WHERE IT'S NEEDED. AND IT'S CALLED PRAYER IS PRAYER IS THE PRAYER PART OF OUR PRAYER? SEPTEMBER 21ST, 6 P.M. IF WE DON'T COME TOGETHER AS A WHOLE AND FIGURE IT OUT, THEN NOTHING WILL BE DONE. BUT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE METRO COUNCIL THERE FOR TO SUPPORT AND SHOW THEM THAT WE'VE COME TOGETHER. BUT IF WE IF WE DON'T COME TOGETHER, THEN WE DON'T FIGURE OUT SOMETHING. WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO BE DONE. AND MY HOPE IN THIS IS TO SEE EVERYBODY HEALED THROUGH SPIRITUAL, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. BUT WE CAN'T DO IT BY OURSELVES. WE NEED PRAYER. PRAYER WORKS AND PRAYER CHANGES. A LOT OF THINGS.

[00:25:05]

AND HE WILL. IT WILL CHANGE A LOT OF SITUATIONS. GOD WILL INTERVENE WHERE HE NEEDS TO INTERVENE, BUT HE WANTS EVERYBODY TO INTERVENE TO. SO HOPEFULLY WE SEE YOU GUYS OUT THERE AND HOPEFULLY SEE YOUR SUPPORT BECAUSE I LOVE PEOPLE JUST LIKE GOD LOVES PEOPLE AND HE LOVES YOU GUYS, BUT HE'S CALLING FOR IT. HE'S CALLING FOR PEOPLE TO SUPPORT A GOOD THING.

AND THIS IS A GOOD THING. WE CAN'T DO IT BY OURSELVES. WE NEED YOU GUYS HELP! PLEASE COME OUT. THANK YOU. PROPHETESS COOPER. GOOD EVENING. LOUISVILLE METRO COUNCIL. I AM PROPHETESS NIKKI. I AM A WOMAN OF GOD, A AUNTIE, A SISTER, A GRANDMOTHER. AND WHAT DO ALL THOSE HAVE IN COMMON? I HAVE LOST TOO MANY FAMILY MEMBERS DUE TO GUN VIOLENCE. I TAKE A STAND FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT TAKE A STAND FOR THEMSELVES. I'M HURTING RIGHT NOW AND GOD SAID, IF YOU'RE HURTING, LEAN ON HIM. I'M LEANING ON HIM. BUT I'M ALSO LEANING ON MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN METRO COUNCIL. STAND WITH US AT THIS PRAYER VIGIL. I TOO AM STANDING WITH OUR FRIEND LUCY RAY BARKER. WE ASK YOU TO HAVE A HEART. WE'RE CRYING OUT RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T WANT TO BUY COFFINS. WE DON'T WANT TO BUY BALLOONS. WE DON'T WANT TO BUY T SHIRTS. WE DON'T WANT TO BUY CEMETERY PLOTS. WE WANT TO BUY CAP AND GOWN. WE WANT TO BUY NEW CAR, HELP WITH A DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOME. WE WANT TO OUR KIDS TO HAVE A FUTURE. I HAVE AN ORGANIZATION CALLED KEEPING IT 100 MINISTRIES, WHERE WE TALK TO KIDS ABOUT BULLYING, SUICIDE PREVENTION. IT'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON. EVERYBODY'S WORRYING ABOUT THE WRONG THING, BUT NO ONE IS STANDING UP FOR THE KIDS AND I SAY TO YOU TODAY, METRO COUNCIL, I AM STANDING UP FOR OUR YOUTH. I'M STANDING UP FOR OUR KIDS. WE HAVE POTENTIAL DOCTORS. WE HAVE POTENTIAL LAWYERS. WE HAVE POTENTIAL METRO COUNCIL WOMEN AND MEN. BUT THEY WILL NEVER MAKE THEIR MARK UNLESS THEY HAVE A CHANCE. WE ASKING YOU TO TAKE TIME TO COME UP AWAY FROM THE BENCHES AND JOIN THIS CITYWIDE PRAYER. SEPTEMBER 21ST AT SIXTH AND JEFFERSON AND STAND BY THE MOTHERS. THE AUNTIES, THE GRANDMOTHERS. BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO SEE A DOVE FLY OVER US OR A BALLOON, BUT WE WANT TO SEE THOSE CAPS AND GOWNS GETTING TOSSED IN THE AIR AS WE APPLAUD OUR YOUTH. I'M HURTING RIGHT NO, AND ONLY JESUS CAN HEAL THE LAND AND HEAL THIS HURT. BUT WE HAVE TO STAND TOGETHER BECAUSE TOGETHER WE CAN WIN THIS FIGHT OVER THE VIOLENCE IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. PLEASE HELP ME. HELP US ON THIS FIGHT AGAINST THESE VIOLENCE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DANIEL COBBLE. ON TUESDAY, WHEN GOING TO TOLEDO, OHIO, I BECAME SPOILED WHEN DRIVING ON THE WELL-KEPT ROADS AND STREETS IN OHIO, I WAS REMINDED AGAIN OF HOW KENTUCKY OFFICIALS ARE MISAPPROPRIATING TAX DOLLARS. THEY ARE ALSO OVERTAXING AND IMPROPERLY TAXING. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS JUDGES ARE BLOCKING MY LAWSUIT FOR CORRECTING VOTING IN KENTUCKY. I NEED TO BE IN OFFICE TO ADDRESS TAXATION, GOVERNMENT'S ATTACKS ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE COOPERATING WITH BIDEN TO OVERRUN THE NATION WITH

[00:30:04]

MIGRANTS, THE ABSENCE OF A POLLUTION REDUCTION PLAN, ETC. DID YOU KNOW THAT IN APRIL, WITH HARDLY A WORD SPOKEN BY GOVERNMENT OR THE MEDIA, THE SOCIAL SECURITY DATABASE WAS HACKED? AND OF COURSE, THE BIGGEST REASON THEY DON'T WANT ME IN OFFICE IS STOPPING THE TRANSFER OF WEALTH TO WALL STREET CORPORATIONS. THE REAL REASON YOU'RE PAYING HIGH RENT AND MORTGAGES, INSURANCE, FOOD PRICES, ETC. MY LAWSUIT CHARGES HOW COUNTY CLERK BOBBIE HOLSCLA, US REPRESENTATIVE MORGAN MCGARVEY AND MAYOR GREENBERG ARE NOT DULY ELECTED TO TRAIN GREENBERG ON THE TAX SCAMS IN LOUISVILLE. HE HIRED EX METRO COUNCIL MEMBERS AS DEPUTY MAYOR.

THIS IS WHY THEY ACT TO PREVENT PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF FROM TAKING OFFICE AND SO THEY RIGGED THE SYSTEM OF STATE ELECTIONS, VIOLATE THE KENTUCKY CONSTITUTION IN THE KENTUCKY, IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS ALSO ILLEGAL. IT IS EMBARRASSING THAT BIDEN ABOLISHED THE DEMOCRAT PARTY PRIMARY AND THEN PROSECUTED TRUMP IN A KANGAROO COURT WHILE ALLOWING HIM TO RUN FOR OFFICE AS A FELON. THERE IS NO RULE OF LAW IN AMERICA, AND WE DO NOT HAVE DEMOCRACY HERE.

ROBERT KENNEDY JR IS THE ONLY LEGAL CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE. DAYS BEFORE DROPPING OUT THE RACE.

KENNEDY ENDORSED MY AGENDA FOR NO FEE PUBLIC CHILDCARE. THIS WILL PUT EVERYBODY TO WORK AND INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF OUR INDUSTRIES. SO IT IS NOT A TAX GIVEAWAY. IF YOU CONTACT ME, I WILL SHOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF NO FEE PUBLIC CHILDCARE WHEREBY TO CORRECT VOTING IN KENTUCKY.

PLEASE DEMAND THE COURT TO PROCESS CASE 2366012 AND JEFFERSON COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT IN CASE 321 321 CV 415. T-MOBILE AND CHASE BANK ADMIT TO DEBITING OUR BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATIONS AND BANK ACCOUNTS OF OTHERS FILED IN 2021. THE JUDGES ARE REFUSING TO RULE IN OUR FAVOR TO END THIS CASE. I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE. I NEED YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SHIRLEY. GWEN. HELLO. LOUISVILLE METRO COUNCIL. MY NAME IS SHIRLEY GWEN. AND I AM CO-PRESIDENT OF THE MOUNT LEBANON CHAPTER OF THE LOUISVILLE TENANT UNION. I'VE LIVED IN MOUNT LEBANON SENIOR APARTMENTS SINCE 2020. AT FIRST IT WAS OKAY, BUT WHEN ALLIED AGENDA PURCHASED IT, THINGS STARTED GOING DOWNHILL. LET ME TELL YOU HOW ALLIED AGENDA WORKS. THEY BUY APARTMENT BUILDINGS FROM BLACK CHURCHES. THEN THEY GO TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND ASK FOR TAX DOLLARS TO HELP PAY FOR THE PURCHASE. AND REMODEL. THEN THEY DO THE BARE MINIMUM REMODEL AND LEAD ATTENDANTS HIGH AND DRY. THEY DID THE SAME THING IN A BUILDING IN LEXINGTON IN DECEMBER OF 2021. THIS COUNCIL IN, EXCUSE ME, THIS COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO GIVE ALLIED AGENDA OVER $1 MILLION IN TAX BREAKS TO DEFERRED DEVELOPER FEES. THEY ALSO GOT ALMOST 6 MILLION FROM THE KENTUCKY HOUSING CORPORATION. THEY PROMISED TO. AND I QUOTE, AIM FOR THE SAME HIGH QUALITY AS YOU WOULD FIND IN HIGH END HOUSING.

A LOT OF DENTAL PROPERTIES HAS FORGOTTEN THE PROMISES THEY MADE TO THE COUNCIL. THEY HAVE ALSO FORGOTTEN THE PROMISES THEY MADE TO US IN 2021. OUR BUILDING WAS IN COUNCIL PERSON TO COREY OFFICE DISTRICT, BUT THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES CHANGED AND WE ARE NOW IN COUNCIL PERSON.

PURVIS DISTRICT. WHEN OUR UNION WENT PUBLIC LAST MONTH, COUNCILPERSON ARTHUR PROMISED TO DRAFT A LETTER ASKING OUR ALLIED AGENDA TO COME TO THE TABLE AND MEET WITH US. BUT THE LEVEL. THE

[00:35:09]

LETTER NEVER GOT DRAFTED BECAUSE COUNCIL PERSON PURVIS OFFERED TO WRITE IT INSTEAD. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE SENT THREE EMAILS TO HER OFFICE AND CALLED COUNTLESS TIMES AND STILL NO RESPONSE.

COUNCILPERSON PURVIS, HAD YOU NOT OFFERED TO HELP? WE WOULD LIKELY HAVE A LETTER SIGNED BY THE FULL COUNCIL BY NOW. BUT INSTEAD, WE HAVE NOTHING BUT YOUR SILENCE. WE ARE ASKING FOR URGENCY BECAUSE OUR BUILDING IS INFESTED WITH POISONOUS SPIDERS, AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. BLACK DIAMOND PEST CONTROL FOUND BLACK BROWN RECLUSE SPIDERS ON THREE FLOORS IN THE BUILDING ON JUNE THE 5TH. IN THE BASEMENT. EXCUSE ME. MADAM PRESIDENT PRO TEM, I WOULD LIKE TO, AT THIS TIME, INTERRUPT THE SPEAKER. MA'AM, WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGAIN? MY NAME IS SHIRLEY GLENN. OKAY, MISS GWEN. YES YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS. AND I'M GOING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE FACTS THAT YOU NEED THIS EVENING. YES, MA'AM. WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS SITUATION, I WAS GIVEN NO DETAILS. I'M NOT WRITING ANY LETTER AND PUT MY NAME ON ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE DETAILS AND THE FACTS.

NOW THANK YOU. LET ME GO A STEP FURTHER. HOLD ON. THANK YOU. THE SPEAKER'S TIME IS UP AND RIGHT, BUT I NEED TO FINISH ADDRESSING THIS. I'M SORRY, COUNCILWOMAN PURVIS. CAN YOU TAKE THIS UP AT A LATER DATE? OH, NO. SHE SHE DID THIS PUBLICLY, AND I'M GOING TO RESPOND PUBLICLY. SO LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I WENT TO YOUR BUILDING THE OTHER DAY UNANNOUNCED, AND I MET WITH THE MISS DAILY, AND I TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE THERE WHILE I WAS COMING AND LEAVING, WANTING TO GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE BUILDING. I HAVE ONE GUY THAT SAID THAT HE WOULD GET WITH ALL OF YOU ALL AND CALL ME BACK TO COME BACK AND MEET WITH YOU ALL. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM HIM. SO COUNCILWOMAN PURVIS IS NOT SILENT. I HAVE YOUR VOICE. I HAVE YOUR INTERESTS. AND I WANT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, IT IS NO LONGER LOCALLY OWNED. I COULDN'T EVEN FIND A LOCAL PHONE NUMBER TO CALL. I HAD TO GO THERE UNANNOUNCED, AND I MET WITH THEM FOR LIKE 20 OR 30 MINUTES. SO IF YOU WANT TO TAKE DOWN MY NUMBER FOR THE RECORD, (502) 438-7720.

AND JUST LET ME SAY THIS, THE LOUISVILLE TENANT UNION. THEY HAVE THREATENED ME WITH THE MEDIA IF I DON'T ACT ON THEIR ON THEIR REQUEST. I DON'T MIND HELPING ANYBODY. THAT'S MY JOB.

THAT'S MY ROLE. COUNCILWOMAN PURVIS. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY THIS EVENING. I'M EASY TO GET AHOLD OF. IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME AFTER THIS MEETING, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK WITH YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN PURVIS. THANK YOU TO THE SPEAKER. YES, MADAM.

ORDINANCE IS NOW BEFORE US. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, COUNCILWOMAN PAULETTE? THANK YO, MADAM PRESIDENT. PRO TEM, THIS IS IN COUNCILWOMAN CINDY FOWLER'S DISTRICT. AND DUE TO HER PARTICIPATION IN THE PROPOSAL AND THE CONCEPTUAL CONCEPTUAL PLAN, SHE DID NOT SPEAK, NOR DID SHE VOTE IN COMMITTEE. AND SHE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING TO US TONIGHT, NOR WILL SHE BE VOTING ON THIS PROPOSAL. METRO LOUISVILLE PURCHASED THE EXISTING WATSON LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2024 BUDGET CYCLE. THE SITE WILL BE DEVELOPED INTO A SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FACILITY WITH PERIMETER TOWNHOMES. THIS PROPOSAL IS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT PROJECT LOUISVILLE METRO BROUGHT FORWARD FOR THE VETERANS HOUSING THAT WE HAD AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE TRAVIS FEASTER WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO READ A CHANGE IN THE WHEREAS CLAUSES TO REFLECT THE COUNCIL'S SUPPORT FOR SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE TOWNHOME UNITS ON THE PERIMETER. SINCE THERE IS NO ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THERE ARE NO THERE IS NO WAY TO ADD BINDING ELEMENTS OR, CHANGES FOR PROPOSALS, IF YOU'LL RECOGNIZE TRAVIS, PLEASE, PLEASE. THANK YOU. TRAVIS FEASTER, ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY. SO THERE ARE FOUR ADDITIONAL WAREHOUSE CLAUSES, THEY COME IN AFTER THE FIRST STANDARD WAREHOUSE CLAUSE THAT JUST DEALS WITH THE DATE THAT THE HEARING WAS HELD AND THAT THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL IS TAKING NOTE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD A HEARING. AND SO THEY KNEW WHERE CLAUSES WOULD READ, WHEREAS THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF THE LOUISVILLE JEFFERSON COUNTY METRO GOVERNMENT APPLIED FOR THIS REZONING AND VOLUNTARILY TOOK IT THROUGH THE EXPANDED PUBLIC PROCESS, INCLUDING TWO NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND A NIGHT HEARING NEAR THE PROPERTY. AND WHEREAS OFFICE OF PLANNING STAFF INDICATED AT THE NIGHT HEARING THAT THE EXPANDED PROCESS WILL CONTINUE ONCE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN COMES FORWARD WITH IT GOING TO A PUBLIC HEARING, EVEN IF IT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO DO SO, AFTER WHICH COUNCIL MAY CHOOSE TO REVIEW IT. AND WHEREAS THE PROPOSED ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING ON THE SITE FOR SENIOR HOUSING ADDRESSES AN URGENT NEED IN BOTH THE DISTRICT AND METRO AT LARGE, WHILE BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS BY AVOIDING UNNECESSARY DEMOLITION.

AND WHEREAS BOTH THE EXPANDED NOTICE AND PROPOSED USE ARE CRITICAL ASPECTS OF METRO COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF THIS PROPOSAL. AND WHEREAS COUNCIL ENCOURAGES THE MAYOR'S OFFICE TO TAKE MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT THE OTHER HOUSING PROPOSED FOR THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE BE BOTH AFFORDABLE AND FOR SALE RATHER THAN RENTED, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FUTURE RESIDENTS THE CHANCE TO OWN THEIR HOMES AND BUILD WEALTH FROM SUCH PURCHASES. AND THOSE ARE THE ENTIRETY OF THE CHANGES I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, THERE'S ONE ADDITIONAL OF THESE METRO OWNED, AREA WIDE REZONINGS COMING, I BELIEVE IT'S ON NEW BUSINESS FOR NEXT CYCLE. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I MOVE THOSE WHEREAS CLAUSES. THANK YOU. THE ORDINANCE IS REQUIRING A ROLL CALL VOTE. THERE ARE NO OTHER. YES, WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT THAT WAS JUST MADE. SO IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? THERE BEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR FOR THE AMENDMENT SAY AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? NOW, THE ORDINANCE IS BEFORE US. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THERE BEING NONE. ALL TH IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? NO. THE ROLL CALL VOTE. I'M SORRY. IT DOES SAY YOU NEED. AND THAT I CAN'T SEE. OKAY I'M SO SORRY.
