LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council is scheduled to consider more than a dozen items during a work session on Tuesday, June 23, including authorization of a nearly $12 million inmate medical and mental health services agreement and funding for infrastructure improvements at parks across the city.

The council will review a proposal to ratify the mayor's execution of an agreement with Comprehensive Correctional Care, or 3C, to provide inmate medical and mental health services for one year beginning May 21 at a cost of $11.8 million. According to the agenda, the county invoked emergency procurement procedures after non-performance by a previous health services provider.

The council is also slated to consider a change order for construction at Deer Haven Park on the east side, authorizing an additional $62,800 to address soil remediation before paving an ADA-accessible and multiuse trail. The total project cost would reach approximately $660,000.

In other business, the council will review a proposal to authorize professional services agreements with five crisis response mediators to implement what is described as the "One Lexington neighborhood crisis response model." The initiative, which coordinates violence prevention efforts, would allocate funding of up to $10,000 per mediator for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

Additional agenda items include authorization to execute a change order for construction of a new senior and therapeutic center, renewal of an agreement with the Kentucky Association for Environmental Education for $688,636, and authorization for a Tech Internship Pilot Program with allocated funding not to exceed $90,000 to reimburse employers for hosting tech-based internships.

The work session begins at 3 p.m. in the Council Chamber at 200 E. Main Street. As a work session, the council will discuss these items but is not expected to take final votes; formal action on most agenda items typically occurs at a regular council meeting scheduled to follow.
