At the Jan. 28, 2025 meeting of the Lexington City Social Services and Public Safety Committee, members conducted a series of procedural votes on the agenda and committee referral list. The committee approved the meeting agenda, then voted by voice to remove several items from the referral list or to reassign sponsorship as described below.

The motions and outcomes recorded in the meeting were:

• Approval of the Sept. 17, 2024 committee summary and the meeting agenda. The motion was moved and seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed.

• Removal of the item to expand the adult mental‑health court with an aftercare program. The committee chair moved the item’s removal; a voice vote carried and the item was removed from the referral list.

• Removal of the golf‑cart policy review from committee. Council Member Shands asked that the item be examined through complete‑streets policy work and requested the item be removed; the motion to remove the item was seconded and passed by voice vote.

• Sponsorship changes and scheduling items: the noise‑ordinance enforcement review received a new sponsor (Council Member Gray). Several other items were retained in committee with scheduling noted for follow‑up (for example, a comprehensive code‑enforcement review was scheduled for the Feb. 25 committee meeting; a Hope Center annual update will be sponsored by Council Member Lynch).
