Lexington City Council members are moving forward with modifications to internal fund allocations. Each Council member has what’s called neighborhood development funding of $15,000. That is up from $10,000 last year. An audit revealed little in terms of oversight. Ninth Council District Representative Whitney Baxter said tighter rules are needed.
“So, I think as long as there is a dialogue between an organization and this body, I’m ok with that. I just want there to be some type of accountability, like I said, that we are being good stewards of taxpayer dollars and that we can account for how that money is being spent in the community,” said Baxter.
