Summary

Lexington City Council approved several resolutions and administrative items during the meeting, recording unanimous roll-call votes on each.
Attorney compensation: Council approved Resolution 2025-03 to set the city attorney’s compensation at $250 per hour for legal services as the city’s contract attorney arrangement changes.

The city manager said the funds are lawfully permissible for this use; council asked that finance staff bring an appropriation ordinance to formalize the transfer. The motion carried by roll call.
Appointments: Council appointed Jake Adams to the city’s OPEB board and appointed Charlie Hall to fill an unexpired planning commission term. Both appointments were approved by roll call with unanimous support.
