LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Urban County Council work session scheduled for Tuesday will examine a range of contract renewals, grant agreements, and construction amendments totaling millions of dollars.
Among the budget items set for discussion is a proposed $2.5 million animal control services agreement with Lexington-Fayette Animal Care and Control, LLC for fiscal year 2027. The contract would run from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with associated vehicle lease agreements.
The agenda also includes authorization to execute a $127,000 agreement with the United States Geological Survey to maintain stream flow, water quality, and rain gauges through June 30, 2027.
On infrastructure, the council would consider a $22,205 change order to the design services agreement with GRW Inc. for the Division of Water Quality Headquarters and Operations Building Renovation, bringing the total project cost to $530,523. The increase addresses unforeseen circumstances, according to the agenda.
A $326,485 change order is proposed for Calhoun Construction on the New Senior & Therapeutic Center project, increasing the contract to $17.5 million with no extension to the project timeline.
The council would also consider an endowment fund agreement with Blue Grass Community Foundation to support the development of Parks and Recreation’s Kelley’s Landing property. The arrangement would establish an expenditure fund for the riverfront park without budgetary impact to the city.
Additional items scheduled for discussion include a $127,186 federal and state grant award from the Bluegrass Area Development District for the Lexington Senior Center in FY 2027. The city would accept the award, which requires a local match of $8,223.53, with a budget amendment in process.
The work session begins at 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Council Chamber at 200 E. Main St. Work sessions are informational and discussion-focused, with binding votes typically deferred to regular council meetings held later in the week.
