Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.lexingtonky.gov
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://lexington.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
- Official minutes page: https://www.lexingtonky.gov/government/office-urban-county-council/council-committees/agendas-minutes-documents (council minutes are stored in a public Google Drive folder; work session minutes are on the Legistar calendar)
- Meeting video: Not found: official YouTube channel not located; the Legistar calendar showed no video links for these meetings.
- Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22.
- Issue and People pages were rebuilt on 2026-10-24 from the full text of the council meeting minutes of August 27, September 10 and September 17, 2026 and the work session minutes of October 6 and 13, 2026.
Data quality notes
- No video found; issue detail comes from posted minutes, so discussion minutes are not recorded.
- Minutes for the October 8 and October 22 council meetings were not yet read; items on those agendas (East Main Street and Sir Barton Way rezonings, drive-thru text amendment, donation center and industrial zone amendments) show agenda facts only.
- Council member names and first names come from the October work session roll call; districts are not stated in the minutes, so roles list "Council Member" only.
- Public speakers are summarized by position and district rather than named; the minutes do not record their arguments.
- Committee meeting minutes and Planning Commission meetings were not retrieved.
- The general services district real property rate is printed as $.075 in the ordinance text and is recorded as written.
