GGP Committee to review AI policy, sustainability standards

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The General Government & Planning Committee is scheduled to convene Tuesday afternoon to consider three substantive agenda items, according to the June 2 committee meeting agenda.

The committee will review Lexington's artificial intelligence policy, which outlines acceptable and prohibited uses for artificial intelligence in local government business. The existing policy dates to October 2025 and is subject to modification as the technology continues to evolve. The policy establishes requirements for human oversight and bans inputting confidential, regulated, or proprietary information into any AI tool. In early May, Code Enforcement Director Oliver Steele described how the department wants to use artificial intelligence to identify enforcement "hotspots" around town.

The committee is also slated to consider sustainability standards for LFUCG buildings. The proposal would establish parameters for environmental performance of municipal structures. Lexington has achieved LEED Silver certification as a city and received SolSmart Gold designation in November 2025, reflecting the community's commitment to renewable energy and green building practices.

The 1 p.m. meeting in the Council Chamber will also include approval of the April 28 committee summary and consideration of items referred to the committee. According to city records, the General Government and Planning Committee has nine meetings scheduled for 2026.
