The council will take up two budget amendments for fiscal year 2027. One ordinance would authorize the city to provide funds for purchase orders and pre-paid expenses rolling from FY 2026 into FY 2027, while a second would amend budgets to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures. The amendments follow [the council's June 9 approval of a $546 million budget](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/lexingtons-urban-county-council-approves-fy27-budget) that emphasized public safety, road maintenance and housing investments without tax increases. The agenda also includes a zoning request for property at 500 Southland Drive in Council District 10. The ordinance would change the zone from Professional Office (P-1) to Neighborhood Business (B-1) for approximately 0.684 net acres on property owned by Fox South LLC. The Planning Commission approved the request 9-0, with a deadline for council consideration set for September 9, 2026. Several personnel-related ordinances are scheduled for first reading, including proposals to create new positions for a Hybrid Cloud Services Manager in the Division of Computer Services, a CDL Program Coordinator in Human Resources, and two Security Officers in the Department of Public Safety. The council is also set to consider establishing a Sick Leave Bank Program for classified and unclassified employees. Additionally, the council will consider tax levies for fiscal year 2027. A public hearing on the tax ordinances is scheduled for August 27, 2026, at 6 p.m. ## Sources - [LFUCG Meeting Agendas](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&clip_id=6853) - [Lexington Urban County Council FY27 budget approval announcement](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/lexingtons-urban-county-council-approves-fy27-budget) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from LFUCG Meeting Agendas, enriched with 2 web searches.
