These incredible vehicles, the car enthusiasts brings energy, excitement, and thousands of visitors to Louisville each summer.

It's one of those events that we have here in the city that everybody knows is going on because you can't go anywhere in Louisville without seeing some of the street rods being driven around every neighborhood in our community.

And we love to play host to this event.

The hospitality that is shown whether we're in a restaurant, whether we're in the hotels, on the fairgrounds, or walking down the streets, I commend Louisville for the for the kind of people that you've got.

We thank you very much, and we look forward to seeing you all out there.

Good afternoon.

Um, I'm Councilman Kevin Crammer chair of the budget committee.

It is about four thirty-five on um Thursday, August sixth.

Sorry, we're starting just a few minutes later than we otherwise should have.

Please note that Councilman Winkler has an excused absence.

Councilwoman Woolbridge, Councilman Reno Weber, and Councilwoman Parrish Wright are joining virtually.

So the first item on the agenda is ordinance two sixteen twenty-six.

It is an ordinance amending ordinance number ninety-one series twenty twenty-five related to the fiscal year twenty twenty-five, twenty twenty-six operating budget by transferring twenty thousand dollars from the neighborhood development fund district seven to the Louisville Metro Council General Operations for District Seven.

It's properly before us.

Yes, thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

District seven is requesting the transfer of funds because of the balance that it is currently in my operating budget, and I need money to continue to pay my part-time staff.

Um necessity.

So I do ask for your approval.

Okay, any questions from my committee.

Seeing none, this is an ordinance calling for a roll call vote vote.

Madam Clerk, please open the voting.

Um, and also if the clerk could cause the record to reflect that we've been joined in person by councilwoman Parish Ryan.

Councilwoman Mulvey Woolridge.

Yes, Councilman uh Rena Weber.

Chair Kramer, you have nine yes votes.

Okay, this passes unanimously, and so we'll go to the consent calendar.

Thank you, Miss McCraney.

Um, item number two is an ordinance amending ordinance number one 10 series 2026 relating to the fiscal year 2025-2026 operating budget by reallocating funds between various departments.

It's probably before us.

Um this is and I'd like to be added as a sponsor if that's okay.

You're more than welcome.

Thank you.

Um, this is uh an ordinance that we had in the budget process, um, we had allocated a certain amount of money through the EIF process and um had asked that it be the that these uh programs be funded.

Um the administration suggested this would be the place to these would be the departments to put those funds.

Um it was in the budget to do that.

We asked as part of the budget process that council members who added money to the budget in this particular way would give us documentation, kind of like what you would have done for a neighbor development fund, so we had a better idea of what that money was to be spent on, and so when we had that documentation in our possession, um and shared that with the administration, they looked back over these funds and said, Oh, well, this came to us saying you wanted to do this particular project, but it really doesn't fit in the department we put it in.

In order to do what you really wanted to do, we're gonna we would need to move it.

And so what you have is a list of of changes that are a result of that.

So it doesn't add anything to the budget, it doesn't take anything away from the budget.

All it does is move allocations from one department to another department to accomplish what we intended them to do in the first place.

Does that make sense?

Ms.

Tinberg, did I explain that?

LAF money, but okay, yes.

It's money we put in the budget, though.

Right.

Okay.

Um at the same time that's true.

Um, there's also a um and it's it's the same ordinance.

Uh, there's an there is an amendment that we need to make in order to take care of a request from district one.

Ms.

Hawkins hasn't wasn't able to be here today, but she asks us if we would if we would take care of this for her.

Um she had in last year's budget a line item about um lawn maintenance, and it was approved through the budget.

Uh the way that our budget works at the end of the year, if the money's not spent, that money lapses back into the budget and and then can be reallocated.

Um her there are folks who are in line for the services that are to be provided.

Um the services haven't yet been provided, and so if that money lapses, then those folks who are counting on this won't be able to, it won't happen.
