[1. O-266-25 AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $50,000 FROM DISTRICT 1 NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO LOUISVILLE METRO PARKS TO FUND THE DISTRICT 1 PARK ACTIVITIES ACCOUNT FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS IN DISTRICT 1. 11/5/25 Appropriations Committee Held Action Required By: April 30, 2026 Sponsors: Tammy Hawkins (D-1) ]

SO OUR FIRST ITEM OF LEGISLATION IS. AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $50,000 FROM DISTRICT ONE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO LOUISVILLE METRO PARKS TO FUND THE DISTRICT ONE PARK ACTIVITIES ACCOUNT FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS IN DISTRICT ONE. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION. MOTION. SECOND, PROPERLY MOVED. AND WE HAVE COUNCILWOMAN HAWKINS HERE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'M GOING TO ASK IF SOMEONE WILL MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND. BECAUSE AS OF THE ORDINANCE CURRENTLY READS THAT MY OFFICE WAS TRANSFERRING 50,000 TO METRO PARKS, BUT THAT WOULD NEED TO BE AMENDED TO 17,000. I MAKE A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE JUICE BOWL. OKAY, SO IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PACKET ALSO NEEDS TO BE AMENDED TO TAKE OUT THE TURKEY GIVEAWAY AND LIGHT UP PARK DUVALLE, RIGHT? YES, YES. OKAY. AND THEN THIS THE ORDINANCE, IT DOES SAY FOR EVENTS IN DISTRICT ONE.

SURE. WE DON'T NEED TO. IT NO LONGER SAYS FOR EVENTS. IT SAYS DISTRICT ONE PART. THIS IS BECAUSE IT SAYS DISTRICT ONE PARKS ACCOUNTS. OKAY. BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M READING RIGHT HERE. AND IT WILL BE AMENDED AFTERWARDS TO REMOVE DISTRICT ONE. YES, THAT'S PART OF THE AMENDMENT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. AMENDED TITLE IS NOT UP THERE. OKAY. ALRIGHT. SO THIS EVENT IS HAS ALREADY PASSED. SO NOW IT WILL BE A REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THERE WAS ISSUES TO BE FIXED AND IT WAS OKAY. WE DIDN'T HAVE A SPEAKER. MADAM CHAIR, IF I CAN SPEAK REAL QUICK. YEAH.

OKAY. SO THE INITIALLY WHEN WE CONTACTED PARKS, PARKS HAD TOLD US THAT WE ONLY HAD $2,000 IN OUR PARKS ACTIVITY ACCOUNT, WHICH WAS INCORRECT. IF, IF, IF I MAY SAY RIGHT. SO THEN THAT'S

[00:25:05]

WHY WE WENT TO TRYING TO MOVE FUNDING OVER WHEN WE REALLY ALREADY HAD MONEY IN OUR PARKS ACTIVITY ACCOUNT, RIGHT? OTHER THAN THAT, IT WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE WENT THROUGH ALL THESE CHANGES. WE WERE TOLD THATING WE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, WE FOUND OUT THAT NO, WE HAD WAY MORE MONEY OVER THERE. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING TO DO THIS. AND THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL REASON THAT WE WERE WAS TRYING TO MOVE THE 50,000. THE JUICE BOWL IS OVER WAS AN AWESOME EVENT. AND I WOULD ASK THAT. I'M ASKING IF SOMEBODY WOULD MAKE THE AMENDMENT OF THE 17,000 INSTEAD OF THE 50,000. YES, YES. AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT BARBARA JUST DID. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO ADD TO HER AMENDMENT TO TAKE OUT THE, THE, THE WORDING OF UNLESS IT'S ALREADY DONE, THE TURKEY GIVEAWAY AND A LIGHT UP PARK OF ALL. SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION MOVED ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT SAY AYE. AYE AYE. NAYS. OKAY. THE AMENDMENT PASSES. OKAY. I WILL JUST MAKE THE COMMENT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS HELD BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SPEAKER AT THE LAST TIME. SO WE HAD TO HOLD IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SPEAKER. IT IS A REIMBURSEMENT. AND YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS KNOW HOW WE FEEL ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT. SO.

JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE NOTE OF THAT. SO IF WE'D HAD A SPEAKER AT THAT MEETING, THEN WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE GOTTEN THESE ISSUES RESOLVED A LOT SOONER. THEN. ALRIGHT. SO WITH OUR COMMITTEE, ALL THOSE IN. ORDINANCE OKAY. SO THIS REQUIRES A ROLL CALL. VOTE VOTING IS OPEN. COUNCILMAN SYME. YES. CHAIR PARKER, YOU HAVE THREE YES VOTES AND ONE PRESENT VOTE. ALL RIGHT. AND THE LEGISLATION PASSES AND IT. YES, IT WILL GO TO OLD BUSINESS.

[00:35:01]

WELL, THESE KIDS ARE BEING COUNTED TWICE AS LONG AS THEY WERE AT SCHOOL, BECAUSE IF THEY WERE ABSENT FOR ANY OF THE DAYS THAT WE PROVIDED PROGRAMING, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED IT.
