LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Urban County Council work session scheduled for June 23 includes several significant agenda items ranging from inmate medical services to neighborhood development initiatives, though no votes are expected at the preliminary meeting.
Among the major proposals set for discussion is authorization to ratify an emergency agreement with Comprehensive Correctional Care, a Kentucky-based correctional healthcare provider, for inmate medical and mental health services. The agreement, which began May 21, was enacted following non-performance by the previous inmate health services company. The cost of $11,835,921 would cover one year of services, with funds already budgeted.
The council also is scheduled to consider a proposal authorizing the execution of a memorandum of understanding with five crisis response mediators to implement the One Lexington neighborhood crisis response model. The agreement would run through June 30, 2027, with each mediator receiving up to $10,000 in the new fiscal year. One Lexington is Lexington’s youth and community violence prevention initiative, which focuses on intervention and support for residents affected by gun violence.
Infrastructure and facility improvements also appear prominently on the agenda. The council is set to consider a $62,800 change order to pave an ADA-accessible and multiuse trail at Deer Haven Park, bringing that project’s total to $659,800. Additionally, a change order totaling $97,324.79 is proposed for the New Senior & Therapeutic Center, increasing its contract from $17.1 million to $17.2 million.
Economic development proposals include authorization for a purchase of services agreement with Community Ventures Corporation for small business support services at $63,220.17 annually, and a tech internship pilot program with a total cost not to exceed $90,000 to help grow technology employment in the area through wage reimbursements to qualifying employers.
The work session begins at 3 p.m. in the Council Chamber at 200 E. Main Street. Work sessions are typically used for discussion and review of agenda items, with formal votes typically deferred to regular council meetings held the following Thursday.
