LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Urban County Council is scheduled to consider dozens of administrative and budget matters during a [work session Tuesday](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&clip_id=6779), including acceptance of a new Fraternal Order of Police collective bargaining agreement and an expansion of the Red Mile tax increment financing development area.

The work session begins at 3 p.m. in the Government Center Council Chamber. Items discussed are typically brought to a full council vote Thursday evening.

Among the significant proposals on the agenda, the council is set to consider acceptance of a [new FOP contract covering community corrections officers and sergeants](https://civiclex.org/civiclex-weekly/a-primer-on-lexingtons-police-collective-bargaining-agreements). The agreement would cost an estimated additional $6.8 million over its four-year term, which expires June 30, 2030, according to the agenda.

The council also appears poised to amend the Red Mile TIF ordinance to include additional property within the designated development area. [Tax increment financing allows developers to apply portions of newly generated taxes to fund public infrastructure improvements](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/economic-development/tax-increment-financing-tif), a tool Lexington uses for nine active TIF projects citywide.

The agenda includes multiple traffic-related items, including proposals to reduce speed limits on Agape Drive, Winthrop Drive and Kearney Ridge Boulevard based on traffic studies conducted by the city. The council would also consider authorizing installation of four speed humps on Glenn Place under the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program for approximately $16,400.

Other items on Tuesday's agenda include authorization to execute an education partnership with Eastern Kentucky University's Department of Social Work and approval of a consulting contract with WSP USA Inc. to evaluate signalized crosswalk timing changes throughout Fayette County. The crosswalk project would cost not to exceed $150,000.

The council work session comes as the city is in the midst of its [fiscal year 2027 budget process](https://engage.lexingtonky.gov/fy27budget). Budget Committee meetings are also scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with a first reading of the proposed budget set for June 4 and final adoption required by June 15.
