Committee on Health, Education, and Housing - Regular Meeting

In my favorite neighborhood barbecue joint, Frankfort Avenue Beer Depot. Yeah. That's a good one. And, oh, have you been to Shack in the Back by Jefferson Memorial Forest? I have. It's about almost 20, 30 minutes on the outskirts of town. But totally worth it. So worth the drive, especially if you spend an afternoon hiking in Jefferson Memorial Forest. Then you don't even have to feel guilty about it. That's right. That's the payoff. Other side of town, more east, I like Juicy's Barbecue, Old Hickory Pit, another one, and two regional chains, just meaning they have a couple locations locally, Mark's Feed Store. Also, you can get Great Bergu there, which we Thank you.

We will start in about 30 seconds. It went out there. I guess we're ready. Madam Clerk, will you read number one for me, please? Oh, first of all, I've got to do I am Councilwoman Barbara Shankler.

Is it on?

Yeah, it's on. I'm Councilwoman Barbara Shankler and with me I have Councilman Stuart Benson and Councilman J.P. Lineger, Councilman Dan Syme, and on the screen we have Councilwoman, let me see, Marilyn Parker. I almost said Betsy, I'm sorry. And do we have to do the, this meeting has been held pursuant to KRS 61.826 and Council Rules 5A.

Item 1, a resolution honoring Deacon James Turner and M. Annette Manley Turner by naming the corner of 32nd Street and West Broadway as Reverend Deacon James and M. Annette Turner Way in their honor. Read in full.

Second. We have someone already here. You want to say your name?

Yes, my name is Taylor Bass. I'm the legislative aide to Councilman Ken Herndon of District 4. Councilman Herndon is happy to honor Reverend Deacon James Turner and M. Annette Manley Turner by naming the corner of 32nd Street and Broadway as Reverend Deacon James and M. Annette Turner Way. For over 40 years, the Turners have provided opportunities for youth, which began the construction of the property at the corner of 32nd and Broadway. Both are published authors of education and spiritual works. The honorary sign is to recognize their contributions for the betterment of our Thank you.

Are there any questions or concerns, Councilman JP?

Thank you, Madam Chair. The agenda's light today, so I feel comfortable taking a second to ask a question about this. I'm not familiar with the deacon and his wife, and I'm sure that they're worthy of being honored on the sign. It's quite a mouthful. Is there a character limit that we have on these signs? How long can the sign be, since we've got a second here?

We've never, we've been doing it for years, and we've never, ever discussed that. It might be something you want to discuss in caucus meeting.

All right, that was my only question. I'll be supporting this.

J.P., I think what I saw that was going to be on the sign was a shorter version of what the whole thing was.

Does anybody else have any concerns or questions? Edwin, do you have anything you want to say? Okay. And the reason why I asked, because I know his mom went to that church for years, and that was the reason I asked him. Well, we don't have any concerns or anything, and JP, you're going to talk to, bring it up at caucus meeting, right? About the Are we ready to vote? All in favor?

Aye.

We have no nays, so we will be sending it to the consent count.

Thank you.

Thank you. And that's it for today. I'm sorry we didn't have anything else, but that's it.
