The City of Lexington City Council held its regular meeting on October 28, 2024, focusing on community initiatives and local governance. The meeting began with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, setting a tone of unity and civic pride.

One of the key highlights was the recognition of local leaders, including Janice Hurley, director of Davidson Medical Ministries, and Travis Stewart, director of Uptown Lexington. Their contributions to the community were acknowledged, emphasizing the importance of local leadership.

A significant proclamation was presented for "Operation Greenlight," aimed at supporting active military service members transitioning to civilian life. Mayor Jason Hayes read the proclamation, which encourages residents to display green lights in their homes and businesses from November 6 to November 12, 2024, in honor of Veterans Day. This initiative aims to recognize the sacrifices of military personnel and promote community solidarity.

The council also adopted the meeting agenda and approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on October 14, 2024, without any amendments. The meeting included a public comment period, but no residents chose to speak.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to honoring veterans and fostering community engagement through local initiatives. The next steps will involve the community's participation in the Operation Greenlight campaign as Veterans Day approaches.
