Brooks Hill Road last fall and I'm here this morning to disc discuss bullet County Tall Grass health hazard since I've received notice of violation of having Tall Grass since moving to Bullock County I've been in touch with Bullock County Extension Office bullet County Conservation office and both have given me encouragement and advice to the best practices for developing a Kentucky native plant area the Conservation District has invited me to apply for their C sharing program to be reimbursed 50% for planting native plants I have also been in touch with Bullock County environmental health department and I'm asking this physical Court to review this current ordinance and consider that the language does not make an allowance for land owners like me people who are choosing to create spaces different different than just long but glasses don't help either I'm doing this to increase

habitat for pollinators and to help reduce the carbon footprint from lawnmowers in my own backyard it appears to me that the ordinance is being enforced even if found to be in contradiction with other County state and federal funded programs I would like to apply for call sharing like was offered by the Conservation District office but I need to know that following through with any program would not cause further violation I'd like to mention that Metro [Music] Louisville Prospect have gone through the process of updating their ordinance as well as other counties and cities and as far as that goes countries thank you very very much for your time Rich Richard I need an [Music] interpreter I hope I'm I hope I'm speaking English so hey let me help you with this a little bit so what you're asking for is for us to review our ordinance so what you're asking us to do is review our ordinance

I just want to make clity yes sir blessed thank you thanks uhuh ladies and gentlemen of the court in Bullock County if I may uh what I was sharing with the court is is um just a a couple things that I'd like to talk about real quick first Proverbs 318 and9 says As a Christian as a Believer I should open my mouth for the mute for the rights of all those who are destitute open your mouth judge righteously defends the rights of the poor and the needy so what I passed out to the the court is that is the obituary

for Jason Adcock see Jason Adcock uh was a father he was a son um he went to BU County bull Central his wife his wife went to to Bullet north um but unfortunately he was homeless uh he came to us I met him last winter at our at our uh White Flag shelter but you all may just know him as the guy who got hit by the train just another homeless guy or maybe you may know him as the homeless people that Peres bringing from Louisville right or something like that but instead he was someone who's born raised here in bullet County needed mental health help needed help with his drug addiction because his mental health onset was late in life he was only 28 when he was first diagnosed with his mental health issues he came to Mark 12 this summer and we were just unequipped to be able to help him in his situation and he didn't want to go down to downtown Louisville I was wondering how many of you guys have kids or grandkids on the court could you imagine if one of your children at 28 29

had late onset schizophrenia or bipolarism and had some trouble with addiction where would where would we help them here in the county we wouldn't be able to so when I was getting done with the candlelight vigil last Sunday for the two young boys that were murdered by their mother we went to the viewing for Jason and I just want to give him a name I want to give him a face he wasn't just some guy who was homeless living over here by the train tracks that got hit by the train he was someone who struggled with mental health and struggled with addiction and we couldn't help him and it breaks my heart last year when we our our lease was ended a month early early uh for the White Flag Shelter by the city of Shepherdsville we were ensure that that there were going to be conversations that we were going to figure this out that we were going to do something well it's going to be 29 degrees next week in the evenings we'll not be operating a white

flag sh shelter this year mark 12 Ministries so I think it's time we have a conversation and also if anyone has any questions on whether or not I'm bringing homeless people from Louisville as I have been accused of doing I'd be more than happy to sit down with you and show you where our van has been for the last year and come to my office uh and I can also tell you that the problem we have is real and it's here now and also and I know my time is up I got a call yesterday or not yesterday last week from parole an inmate from Mississippi was released he's on parole here at bullet County he's homeless now what well he's a convicted criminal who is warrant roaming the streets of Shepherdsville he's at your Walmart he's at our Kroger's just like last year when we had the White Flag shelter and we encountered that sex offender see we we have no safety net we have no net and I just think it's time that we have a conversation about it thanks good
