The Budget, Finance & Economic Development Committee of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government is scheduled to consider several significant agenda items at its meeting on June 23, according to the committee's meeting agenda.

Among the proposals is an Infrastructure Funding Plan update, which could influence how the local government allocates resources for long-term capital improvements. The agenda also lists a draft ordinance related to the funding plan for committee consideration.

The committee is set to review a Technology Ecosystem Development initiative that includes a Tech Internship Pilot Program presentation. This proposal aligns with Lexington's growing focus on workforce development in the technology sector. The region has been expanding internship opportunities at firms like Valvoline and Lexmark.

The committee will also hear a presentation on E911 Fund Revenue Sources, addressing ongoing challenges in emergency services funding. As municipalities nationwide have faced pressure to secure alternative funding streams due to declining landline revenue, the discussion could reveal new approaches Lexington may pursue to sustain its 911 operations. Lexington's Enhanced 911 Division provides the link between the community and public safety partners.

A monthly financial update for May 2026 is also on the agenda, along with approval of the committee's March 24 meeting summary and review of referred items.
