Uh what I will say is this is a pretty standard thing.

I'll turn it over to uh well are you guys gonna speak to it?

Wes?

Okay.

Uh so what I'll just tee things up and say uh pretty standard movement of a few funds related to some projects, but why don't we have uh public works come up and talk in more detail about this?

Wes if you can identify yourself for the record, uh, and then you can begin your testimony.

Absolutely.

Good afternoon.

I'm Wes Sidmore.

I'm the executive director of Louisville Public Works.

Executive Director, I apologize for just calling the director.

It's fine, George.

Wes is fine, honestly.

Um yeah, so uh thank you, councilman, uh council members, uh committee members for uh hearing this.

Uh as you mentioned, uh this is in regards to legislation regarding uh council directed traffic calming.

Uh there were three projects that had adjustments out of the 18 that were originally uh budgeted, you know, as uh projects develop and get uh you know designs, those those numbers tend to get refined.

You have some that come in under budget and some that uh get planned that that needs some additional budget, and so what this does is uh clarifies those budgets, uh reallocates uh within the district 15 uh traffic calming projects, uh moves you know, some money that's not needed for um for one of these and then or a couple of these, and then uh transfers that access to one of their other projects that would have been uh in need, and then it also identifies the district three uh traffic calming project from a 2D to be determined to the arcade avenue uh traffic calming project, which consists of restriping and other improvements, and so that is uh basically in summary the the the gist of this this ordinance and what it does.

Terrific, thank you very much.

Uh are there I don't have anybody in the queue currently.

I have uh vice chair winkler.

Yeah, I was just gonna ask uh Sony if you could add me as a co-sponsor.
