SO FOR THE CIVIL, THIS IS FOR THE CIVILIAN REVIEW AND ACCOUNTABILITY BOARD.

THERE ARE 11 MEMBERS ON THIS BOARD. THE MEMBERS HAVE A THREE YEAR TERM.

ALL ARE APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR WITH THE APPROVAL OF METRO COUNCIL.

PER THE STATUTE. METRO COUNCIL CHOOSES THREE SEATS.

THE MAYOR HAS FOUR SEATS. AND THEN THERE ARE FOUR SEATS CHOSEN FROM THE ENTITIES.

THE EIGHT ENTITIES THAT WERE ESTABLISHED IN THE ORDINANCE.

EACH NOMINATION HAS TO BE FILLED BY THE MAYOR UNDER THE SAME NOMINATION PROCESS.

THIS BOARD IS SET UP TO INCREASE CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN THE INVESTIGATION AND REVIEW OF ALLEGATIONS OF POLICE MISCONDUCT WITHIN LMPD.

THE FIRST NOMINATION IS FOR DOCTOR IDA DICKEY.

DOCTOR DICKEY IS THE CEO AND FORENSIC FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST WITH TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC.

SHE IS OUT OF METRO COUNCIL DISTRICT NUMBER EIGHT.

SHE HAS HER PHD IN APPLIED FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY.

SHE HAS A MASTER'S AND BACHELOR'S IN PSYCHOLOGY.

THIS IS A METRO COUNCIL APPOINTMENT. THE SECOND ONE IS DOCTOR KENNETH PAGANO.

HE IS EMPLOYED BY COUNCILMAN BOUCHON AS A DELIVERY FOOD PREP.

HE LIVES IN METRO COUNCIL 25. ON HIS APPLICATION HE IDENTIFIED AS OTHER, BUT WE HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT HE IS A REPUBLICAN.

HE HAS EXPERIENCE AS A PASTOR AND A TEACHER. HE WAS A FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR, AND HE HAS WORKED WITH PROBATION AND PAROLE.

[00:05:09]

RECOMMENDATION AS WELL. THIS THIRD ONE IS A MAYORAL.

IT'S TO FILL THE MAYOR'S ONE OF HIS FOUR SEATS THAT HE HAS.

BENHAM SIMS IS A RETIRED ATTORNEY. HE'S OUT OF METRO COUNCIL DISTRICT 17.

EXCUSE ME? ALONG WITH BEING AN ATTORNEY. IN PRIVATE PRACTICE, HE WAS ALSO A JUDGE WITH DISTRICT JUDGE DIVISION SIX.

HE'S THE DIRECTOR OF THE DUI JURY TRIAL, DIVISION ASSISTANCE, COUNTY ASSISTANCE AND COUNTY ATTORNEY, JUVENILE PROSECUTOR, AND VICE CHAIR OF THE KENTUCKY LOTTERY BOARD.

THESE ARE PAST THINGS HE'S DONE. WE ARE ASKING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THESE APPOINTMENTS.

THANK YOU. SO A COUPLE. SO A COUPLE QUICK THINGS.

FIRST OF ALL APPRECIATE THE VOTE TO TABLE. THERE WAS A LITTLE I MEAN, I KNOW I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT THESE UP.

AND SINCE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO MISS JACKSON AND TALK TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

CLARIFIED THE APPOINTMENTS, THERE'S ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. BEYOND THESE THREE, THAT'S GOING TO COME LATER ON.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE FOUR APPOINTMENTS FOR TODAY. JUST THAT. THE FOURTH ONE IS NEW.

AND I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR. I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHICH I BROUGHT UP, WHICH WAS THE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE FOUR DIVERSITY STANDARDS.

ONE OF THEM IS IDEOLOGICAL, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT OR POLITICAL AFFILIATION.

SO, THAT'S BEING ADDRESSED WITH TWO OF THE APPOINTEES TODAY.

AND I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION. AND AGAIN, AS I SAID, THAT THAT WAS THERE WAS NO COMMENTARY ON THESE INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES, AND I THINK THEY'RE ALL FINE. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THEM. AND I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR'S EFFORT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE BALANCE ON ALL OF OUR COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. GO AHEAD. COUNCILMAN. JUST A QUESTION ON THE CURRENT MAKEUP OF THE BOARD.

MR. PAGANO, IS THAT CORRECT PRONUNCIATION? HE IS A FORMER PROBATION PAROLE OFFICER FOR DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. IS THERE ANY OTHER CURRENT MEMBER ON THE BOARD WHO IS A FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEE? LET ME GET THE HOLD ON ONE SECOND. I'M GETTING THE.

THANK YOU. PLEASE TELL ME. MISS JACKSON, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT THAT? I FAIL TO RECOGNIZE COUNCILMAN AND COUNCILMAN HER IN THE CHAMBERS.

WHERE DID I DO WITH IT? SHE. YEAH, YEAH. THE FORMER.

UNLESS YOU CONSIDER ME. YEAH. THE FORMER ONE.

I'M SORRY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MY ROSTER.

IT WASN'T A PART OF THIS PACKET. THE FORMER ONE HAS RESIGNED.

THAT WAS ROXANNE RHODES, AND SHE WAS FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SO THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WE HAD. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LOOKING AT THE QUALIFICATIONS LIST, ALSO OF MEMBERS ONE OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF MEMBERS IS NO CURRENT LOUISVILLE METRO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, EITHER SWORN OR CIVILIAN FAMILY MEMBERS OR CURRENT EMPLOYEES. LAW ENFORCEMENT ELECTED OFFICIALS.

THE COMMENT IS ALL. BUT I ASSUME THE FACT THAT HE IS EMPLOYED BY COUNCILMAN SHAWN OUTSIDE OF METRO GOVERNMENT IS NOT A CONFLICT WITH THE ORDINANCE.

COUNTY ATTORNEY, CAN YOU OFFER OFFER SOME CLARITY, PLEASE? IF HE'S EMPLOYED AS A RESTAURANT WORKER, THEN.

SORRY, I HEAR YOU MAKE THIS OFFICIAL. YOU STILL CAN'T SEE ME? I'M TOO SHORT. IF HE'S EMPLOYED BY COUNCILMAN BATSON.

BUT IN A DIFFERENT. NOT AS A METRO EMPLOYEE. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY.

OKAY. JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, SO, MADAM CHAIRWOMAN.

YES, MA'AM. HI. I WANTED TO CLARIFY. DID SHE SAY THAT THE METRO COUNCIL HAS TWO NOMINATIONS FOR THE BOARD AND THE MAYOR HAS WON TODAY. YES, THAT'S GOING FORWARD TODAY.

BUT IN TOTAL, I MEAN, CAN YOU BREAK DOWN THE NOMINATIONS PER ENTITY? IT'S A GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS. IT'S THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

IT'S THE COUNCIL. CAN YOU BREAK. THE METRO COUNCIL HAS THREE SEATS.

[00:10:05]

THE ENTITIES, THE EIGHT ENTITIES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN THE ORDINANCE.

AND THOSE ENTITIES ARE ACLU, GLEE, THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL MINISTERIAL COALITION, NAACP, URBAN LEAGUE, YEOVIL BAR ASSOCIATION, AND YPO. YES, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THOSE.

BUT LET ME ASK YOU, CURRENTLY ON THE BOARD, ARE THERE NOMINATIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY FULFILLED THE METRO COUNCIL NOMINATION SEATS. YES. YOU GUYS HAVE FOUR.

TWO ARE GOING TODAY TO BE TO REPLACE TWO THAT HAVE EITHER RESIGNED OR COULD NO LONGER COULDN'T BE APPOINTED.

THAT'S MY QUESTION. SO THESE TWO ARE REPLACING TWO.

AND THEN WHEN IF THEY ARE APPROVED THEN WE WOULD HAVE FULFILLED OUR FOUR FROM THE METRO COUNCIL.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. IF THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE ARE READY TO VOTE ON DOCTOR DICKEY. DOCTOR PAGANO AND BENHAM SIMS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT DEPARTMENT IS RFP 061725 J.S. THE REAPPOINTMENT OF JASON SMITH TO THE ANCHORAGE MIDDLETOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT DISTRICT BOARD.

MISS JACKSON. SO THESE NEXT TWO ARE THE ONES THAT WE JUST RECENTLY SENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THERE I THINK THEY WERE MAYBE ON THE BOARD FOR TWO WEEKS.

AND SO YOU SAID, LET'S LET THEM EXPIRE AND THEN BRING THEM BACK.

SO THAT'S I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU GUYS OF THAT.

AND SO THIS IS FOR ANCHORAGE, MIDDLETOWN FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT BOARD.

THE PURPOSE IS TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATIVE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EMERGENCY AMBULANCE SERVICE AND TO LEVY A TAX FOR SUCH SERVICES.

THE BOARD HAS SEVEN MEMBERS. THE MAYOR APPOINTS THREE.

THE BOARD ITSELF APPOINTS FOR THE MAYOR. ALL APPOINTMENTS HAVE A THREE YEAR TERM.

JASON SMITH IS AN IN-HOUSE COUNSEL FOR O R R PROTECTION SYSTEMS. HE LIVES IN DISTRICT 11. HE'S AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE REPUBLICAN.

HE WILL BE FILLING A VACANCY DUE TO A RESIGNATION.

WELL, HE'S BEING REAPPOINTED NOW. I'M SORRY. HE WAS FILLING THE VACANCY.

WE APPOINTED HIM FOR TWO WEEKS. NOW HE'S BEING REAPPOINTED.

WE'RE ASKING FOR THIS REAPPOINTMENT. IS HE HERE? NO. YOU SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK. OKAY. I'M SORRY.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS APPOINTMENT? NO QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

SHE HAS SHE'S VERY ACTION ORIENTED. SHE'S GOT 25 PLUS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN HEALTH CARE.

SHE'S EXCITED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING REAPPOINTED.

WE DO WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HER REAPPOINTMENT.

ANY QUESTIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSITION? THE AYES HAVE IT. SO, MISS JACKSON, I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

[6. AP061725BK     APPOINTMENT OF BARRY KORNSTEIN TO THE ANTI-DISPLACEMENT COMMISSION. (TERM EXPIRES JUNE 26, 2028) Action Required By: December 12, 2025]

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A NEW BOARD AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE EIGHT.

IS THAT THE THE TOTAL NUMBER THAT WILL BE ON THE BOARD? NO. THERE'S ONE. THERE WILL BE ONE ADDITIONAL.

THERE WILL BE NO. THAT'S IN THAT ANTI DISPLACEMENT AREA.

THAT WILL BE COMING THROUGH BUT NOT TODAY OKAY.

AND BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW BOARD A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PURPOSE AND POTENTIAL FUNCTION.

SO IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE US WITH SOME INFORMATION ON THIS BOARD? YES. WE CAN. LAURA GRABOWSKI IS HERE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.

[00:15:05]

IT IS FOR. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC. AND WHO CAN BE ON THIS BOARD? AND I'LL CALL YOU UP IN JUST A SECOND. BUT IT TOOK US A LONG TIME TO GET PEOPLE TO FIND PEOPLE TO FIT THESE SPECIFICATIONS.

THEY HAD TO LIVE IN A CERTAIN AREA, AND THEY HAD TO PROVE THAT THEY LIVED IN THIS AREA FOR SEVEN, FOR SEVEN YEARS. IN THIS ANTI DISPLACEMENT AREA LAURA CAN COME UP AND GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION.

I DID WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER COMMENT THAT I LOOKED AT ALL THE RESUMES AND IT WAS A VERY DIVERSE BOARD.

AND AT SOME POINT IN TIME I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH EACH ONE, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE EACH ONE OF THEM HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTED INTERESTING GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES. SO I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO TALK WITH EACH MEMBER AT SOME POINT IN TIME.

OKAY. ABSOLUTELY. GOOD AFTERNOON. LAURA GRABOWSKI, THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION.

SO, YES, THE ANTI DISPLACEMENT COMMISSION IS A NEW COMMISSION WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ALTHEA FOR I DON'T KNOW, A GOOD FEW MONTHS ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO COMPILE THE APPLICATIONS.

WE ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS IS THAT WE DID HAVE A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS PARTICULAR COMMISSION.

AS ALTHEA SAID, IT WAS SET UP BY COUNCIL ORDINANCE LAST YEAR.

THE IDEA OF THIS COMMISSION IS TO OVERSEE THE USE OF AN ANTI DISPLACEMENT REVIEW TOOL THAT WOULD LOOK AT DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE PROVIDED INCENTIVES BY METRO GOVERNMENT, WHETHER IT'S FUNDING LAND THAT BEFORE THE, BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE APPROVED.

IT WOULD GO THROUGH THIS DISPLACEMENT ASSESSMENT AND THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA THAT THEY WERE NOT THAT THAT THE PROJECT ITSELF IS NOT DISPLACING OR ADDING TO DISPLACEMENT IN, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY AT HIGH RISK OF DISPLACEMENT.

SO TRYING TO SAY LESS WORDS ABOUT THAT. SO THE THE ORDINANCE ASKED FOR OUR OFFICE TO CONTRACT WITH A RESEARCH UNIVERSITY, AND WE DID WITH BOSTON UNIVERSITY TO COME UP WITH A DISPLACEMENT ASSESSMENT THAT WILL BE USED WHENEVER INCENTIVES ARE PROPOSED FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS.

SO THE COMMISSION THEN IS SET UP, AS ALTHEA SAID, IT WILL HAVE NINE MEMBERS.

AND IT HAS A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS. ONE OF ONE OF WHICH IS TO ACTUALLY OVERSEE THE, THE ANTI DISPLACEMENT, THE USE OF THAT TOOL. SO I WANT TO JUST READ THIS, BUT PERIODICALLY REVIEW THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DISPLACEMENT ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON AMENDMENTS, ANY AMENDMENTS NEEDED TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, PARTNER WITH THE TRUST FUND AND OUR OFFICE ON UPDATING THE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AND THEN REVIEW INVESTIGATIONS THAT WERE DONE BY THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION IN AROUND METRO FUNDED PROGRAMS. SO IT IS YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S A BRAND NEW BOARD. AND THERE ARE STILL, I'M SURE, A LOT OF DETAILS TO BE WORKED OUT, BUT WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO RECEIVE WAS OVER 20 APPLICATIONS, I BELIEVE.

AND THEN TO ALFA'S POINT WE DID IT DID TAKE A BIT OF A BIT OF EFFORT TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT THE APPLICANTS MET THE REQUIREMENTS AS LAID OUT IN THE ORDINANCE.

SO THAT HAS ALL BEEN DONE. AND WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE EIGHT THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED TODAY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ORDINANCE.

SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO GROUP THEM ALL BY THEIR TERM EXPIRATION DATES. WE'RE GOING TO GROUP THEM ACCORDING.

TO AND THE FIRST GROUP. GROUP. WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION FIRST.

I MAKE SO I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO GROUP THESE I NEED A SECOND OKAY.

SECOND. SO YOU'RE GROUPING SIX SEVEN AND EIGHT.

678. YES. ALL THOSE SECOND. THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSITION OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO GROUP.

[00:20:05]

SO I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE HAS HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THEIR RESUMES, I HAVE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THEY'RE HERE. I WAS GOING TO SAY IF THEY'RE HERE, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY JUST TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES. THEY'RE HERE IN THE CHAMBER. SO YES, THEY'VE MADE THE EFFORT TO COME TODAY.

THERE ARE SEVEN MEMBERS ON THIS BOARD. THEY SERVE A THREE YEAR TERM.

YOU WILL SEE THE APPOINTMENTS THAT WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD TODAY ARE MOSTLY ATTORNEYS.

IT'S HEAVY ON THE ATTORNEYS. JUST BECAUSE THE MAYOR WANTED TO FELT LIKE WE NEEDED ATTORNEYS ON THIS BOARD TO LOOK AT THE CODE TO TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND A LOT OF THE POLICY AND, AND WHAT THE ETHICS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

SO OUR FIRST PERSON IS KRISHNA TIBBS. KRISHNA IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE.

THIS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN BROUGHT UP. WE PROBABLY DO NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE STAGGERED TERMS LOOK LIKE FOR.

TO BE CLEAR, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE FOUR ON THE AGENDA WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THREE.

ONE IS BEING HELD. OKAY. YEAH. SO. SO AND I DO GET EVEN.

THREE OUT OF SEVEN IS NOT A SMALL NUMBER, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND MAYBE AMEND IN THE LAW TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT THE STAGGER SHOULD LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD. BUT WITH THAT SAID, A LOT OF THESE FOLKS ARE AT THE MAXIMUM EVEN IN THEIR EXTENSIONS.

SO YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. MAY I, MADAM CHAIR? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THE IS IT THAT SOME HAVE ALSO RESIGNED? IT WASN'T THAT THEIR TERMS EXPIRED. AND SO THE STAGGERED IS KIND OF A LITTLE OFF.
