And local waterways.

That cooking oil left over from deep frying should be recycled.

First, let the oil cool down, strain out any food particles, and pour the oil into a container.

Then drop off the container at the nearest full service recycling center.

The used cooking oil will be converted into biodiesel fuel.

I administer HUD grants, which is uh housing and urban development grants, federally funded.

We do uh ESG, which is emergency solutions grant for emergency shelters in our area, CDBG, which is community development block grant.

We only administer the public services part of that, and we get roughly 15% of the overall CDBG budget, and the rest of that goes to develop global for developing housing.

And Hoppwa housing opportunities for persons with AIDS, short-term housing, more long-term, and there's a lot of services that they can get through a hopper program.

Get them out of homelessness and prevent them to go back into homelessness, try to create stability for these individuals.

They will be required to do quarterly reports to report on the success of their programs, and we have a very set guidelines for HUD on the things that they need to do, what they can apply for.

We also have strict regulations, so they do need to know those in order to be administered these grants.

My mama taught me well while you are still here to make sure you have your flowers.

We are required to do something like this.

Know yeah that the Louisville Metro Council hereby recognizes and honors Mary Carder Woodridge.

I feel so honored to be here to actually see my friend get this street named after her.

I think she named almost every street in the West End at one time or another.

I said, is there any streets down there left?

Are we gonna start naming alleys?

You don't get to keep something that someone gave you.

You keep something in which you earned.

And Mrs.

Warwick made me earn my spot.

But in working for it, it taught me how to be the councilwoman who could then fight for this district.

Today we honor you not just for your fight, but as sitting in this seat, I realized very few people will ever understand what it costs you to do what you do.

It's a small token.

One but it's the least that we can do to say thank you.

We appreciate you.

We are grateful for you.

Louisville Metro has contracted with Pacific Coast Conservation to clean Is it okay if I get in there?

And restore nine pieces in the city's public art collection.

I'm just worried about that one ledge.

They're going to be using um tool to cut the bolt.

We are removing pan off of the top of Hogan's Fountain in Cherokee Park.

We'll just see what comes up.

It's just gonna take it off the top of the fountain so we can deal with the sculptural piece of it and um clean and restore.

You know the endell is one of Louisville's most famous and celebrated sculptors.

It's a fixture in the park.

You know, Hogan's Fountain is um it's iconic.

I've been coming up here since uh one year old, I guess, but it's good to keep it in shape, not letting it uh run down.

There have been a lot of interested parties who have come through to ask, you know, everyone's very concerned.

Every now and again we do need to maintain things, and this is an opportunity that we just couldn't pass up.

It's nice to see such a sense of ownership over a piece of public art.

It's gonna be a little uncomfortable for folks to see the crane and it's necessary.

Clay modeling for the pan statue.

This piece in particular has taken a lot of coordination with the conservators and Olmstead Parks and Louisville Metro Parks and Recreation.

Not often we do this type of thing, so this is rare.

To have access to clean the bronze and to address the plumbing issues that were internal to the fountain.

Something like this is very interesting and I like history, so it's fascinated to see what's what's underneath, you know, when you lift it up and how it's all connected and the nuts and bolts of it all.

So don't know what we're gonna find until we get it off.

So the statue will be cleaned back to its original form and then have a hot wax coating applied to the surface of it so it'll look a little bit more like a new bronze.

It's long overdue for some work.

The conservators have recommended both sort of a restoration process and sort of a routine maintenance schedule for these pieces.

So we could reuse the sleeve.

So the goal is to preserve them a lot better, make them less susceptible to those sort of environmental contaminants and any other vandalism and things like that.

My name is Deshaun Rankins, and I'm an equipment operator.

We do a little bit of our concrete, trim trees, snow removal.

Clear right away, some potholes, clear ditches with drainage, storm water.

We did a little bit of everything, so somebody that can do lovely different jobs.
