AI policy review, building sustainability standards on LFUCG agenda

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The General Government & Planning Committee is scheduled to review an artificial intelligence policy and consider new sustainability standards for city buildings at a meeting set for Tuesday, according to a meeting agenda posted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government.

The committee will examine an existing AI policy that outlines acceptable and prohibited uses for artificial intelligence in local government business. The policy, which dates to October 2025, establishes requirements for human oversight and bans inputting confidential, regulated, or proprietary information into any AI tool.

The policy review comes as the Code Enforcement Department seeks to use artificial intelligence to identify enforcement “hotspots” around town and target them more proactively.

The committee will also consider proposed sustainability standards for LFUCG buildings. The move aligns with the city’s existing sustainability efforts. Lexington achieved LEED Silver certification under the world’s most widely used green building rating system, and the city earned Gold level designation by SolSmart, a national program helping cities become solar energy leaders.

The city’s Empower Lexington Plan includes designing higher efficiency buildings and lower-carbon operations, as exemplified by the LEED Gold Senior Center and installation of solar panels on multiple government buildings.

The committee meeting begins at 1 p.m. Tuesday in the Council Chamber at 200 E. Main St. The agenda also includes approval of the April 28 committee summary and consideration of items referred to the committee.
