COLLEAGUES, AS WE START THE MEETING, I WISH TO TAKE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE OUR VETERANS AS NEXT MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, IS VETERANS DAY. LOUISVILLE'S ANNUAL VETERANS DAY PARADE IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH AT NOON, AND WILL TRAVEL ALONG JEFFERSON STREET BETWEEN FOURTH AND SEVENTH STREETS. THE PARADE IS A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE OUR APPRECIATION FOR EVERY VETERANS SERVICE AND SACRIFICE BECAUSE OF OUR VETERANS. EARLIER THIS WEEK, WE AGAIN HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF PARTICIPATING IN DETERMINING THE FUTURE OF OUR 248 YEAR OLD DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT. PLEASE JOIN ME TODAY AND EVERY DAY IN THANKING THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT PROTECT THE PRIVILEGE AND GIVE US THE FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE SAFELY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. PARTICULARLY, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE, I THINK WE'VE GOT TWO VETERANS ON COUNCIL, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, COUNCILMAN ROONEY, COUNCILMAN PIAGENTINI, AND I DON'T THINK I'VE LEFT ANYBODY ELSE OUT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND PLEASE JOIN US ON MONDAY OR SATURDAY FOR THE PARADE AND THEN MONDAY CELEBRATING VETERANS DAY.
SO THANK YOU. I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALL OF THE WINNERS OF THIS WEEK'S ELECTION. YOU'VE EARNED THE TRUST OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND NOW THE HARD WORK TRULY BEGINS. TO OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS ELECT, I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AND GETTING TO KNOW EACH OF YOU. TO OUR RETURNING COLLEAGUES, I'M HAPPY THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE SERVING TOGETHER, AND I ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO WELCOME OUR NEW MEMBERS, EXTEND A HAND OF FRIENDSHIP, AND OFFER THE HELP AND GUIDANCE THEY MAY NEED AS WE SIT AS A NEW COUNCIL. I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEP GRATITUDE TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART IN THE ELECTION PROCESS FROM CANDIDATES, CAMPAIGN TEAMS, POLL WORKERS, VOLUNTEERS AND VOTERS. YOUR ENGAGEMENT IS WHAT STRENGTHENS OUR DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. AND THEN FINALLY, ELECTIONS AREN'T EASY. WHILE WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR NEW COLLEAGUES, WE'RE ALSO SAD THAT WE'RE LOSING OUR MEMBERS AND THAT HAVE POURED THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES AND HAVE HONORABLY SERVED THEIR CONSTITUENTS. THEIR COMMITMENT AND CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK ON OUR CITY, AND THEY DESERVE OUR GRATITUDE. AS WE MARCH TOWARDS THE CLOSE OF THIS COUNCIL YEAR, WE LOOK FORWARD TO RECOGNIZING THOSE SEVEN MEMBERS THAT ARE LEAVING OUR OUR CHAMBERS FOR THEIR WORK AND SERVICE. AND WE'RE A BETTER CITY FOR EACH OF THEIR EFFORTS. THANK YOU ALL. MADAM CLERK, ARE THERE ANY ADDRESSES TO COUNCIL? YES, SIR. THERE ARE. THANK YOU. LET ME REMIND THOSE ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL TO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING ANY PROFANITY OR MAKING DEROGATORY STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER, THERESA HATHAWAY. HELLO. MY NAME IS TERRY HATHAWAY. I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT EIGHT AND A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF METRO'S DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. NEARLY FIVE MONTHS AGO, I FILED AN ETHICS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DUBIOUS PROCESS USED TO CREATE THE LOUISVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE KNOWN AS LEDA. A HEARING ON MY COMPLAINT WILL SOON TAKE PLACE, AND I EXPECT THE ETHICS COMMISSION TO RELEASE ITS FINDINGS IN EARLY 2025. AFTER I FILED MY COMPLAINT, I WROTE TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO SHARE MY CONCERNS ABOUT LEDA BEFORE YOU VOTED ON THE BUDGET. AND I WANT TO REMIND ALL OF YOU THAT THIS COUNCIL APPROVED $1.5 MILLION IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET TO START UP LEDA WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION OF LEDA'S BYLAWS, LEADERS, BOARD MEMBERS, A DETAILED BUDGET THAT INCLUDED HOW THESE METRO FUNDS WOULD BE SPENT, OR KNOWING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF METRO EMPLOYEES TO BE ASSIGNED TO LEDA. AND DESPITE MY COMPLAINT, AND SINCE THAT BUDGET WAS APPROVED, LEDA CONTINUES TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT UNDERMINE THE PUBLIC TRUST IMPETUS AND INVITATION ONLY ORGANIZATION FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR ACTION ON LOUISVILLE'S AGENDA, OR SCALA, HOLDS AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF POWER WITHIN LEDA. FORMER DEPUTY MAYOR PAT MALLOY, WHO NOW SERVES AS INTERIM CEO AND PRESIDENT OF LEDA, HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE AN ACTIVE DIRECTOR ON THE
[00:15:04]
BOARD OF IMPETUS. MAYOR GREENBERG SOUGHT AND RECEIVED THE POSITION OF LEDA BOARD CHAIR AFTER LITA'S FORMATION INTENTIONALLY CIRCUMVENTED A PROCESS THAT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A COUNCIL ORDINANCE. MAYOR GREENBERG'S BOARD SEAT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY TIED TO HIS POSITION AS MAYOR. IN SEPTEMBER, LITA'S BYLAWS WERE AMENDED TO MAKE THE BOARD'S THE MAYOR'S BOARD SEAT EX OFFICIO. ONLY AFTER I DOCUMENTED THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE COURSE OF MY ETHICS COMPLAINT, AND DESPITE THREE MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL SITTING ON THE LEDA BOARD, MAYOR GREENBERG HOLDS THE ONLY VOTING SEAT OF A PUBLIC OFFICIAL OR EX-OFFICIO MEMBER ON LITA'S BOARD, AND LEDA IS RECEIVING MORE SUBSIDY, MORE PUBLIC SUBSIDY IN THE FORM OF METRO EMPLOYEES THAN THIS COUNCIL WAS LED TO BELIEVE. DURING THE MAY 14TH BUDGET HEARING, THEN DEPUTY MAYOR MALLOY TOLD THIS COUNCIL THAT HE AND MAYOR GREENBERG EXPECTED 8 TO 12 METRO EMPLOYEES TO WORK INSIDE OF LEDA, BUT LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, HE TOLD THE LEDA BOARD THAT 18 METRO EMPLOYEES WILL BE WORKING FOR LEDA. THAT'S ROUGHLY DOUBLE WHAT YOU WERE TOLD. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO. AND THIS IS JUST PART OF WHAT I EXPECT TO COME OUT THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE ETHICS HEARING. I URGE YOU TO FREEZE THE $1.5 MILLION OF FISCAL YEAR 25 GENERAL FUNDS THAT YOU APPROVED TO LEDA UNTIL THE ETHICS COMMISSION RELEASES ITS FINAL REPORT ON MY COMPLAINT. THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT PAY OF METRO EMPLOYEES CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO LEDA, AND LEDA IS ACTIVELY COLLECTING MEMBERSHIP DUES, SO IT HAS OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE. AND IN THE EVENT THAT THERE ARE NO IMPACTFUL FINDINGS OF CONCERN TO METRO COUNCIL, THIS TEMPORARY FREEZE WOULD NOT AFFECT LITA'S LONG TERM FINANCIAL POSITION OR OPERATION. PLEASE TAKE ACTION IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST BY FREEZING THESE FUNDS UNTIL THE ETHICS COMMISSION RELEASES ITS FINDINGS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DEBORAH O'GORMA. GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY[Council Minutes]
