About the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council
The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council is the legislative body of the consolidated city and county government of Lexington and Fayette County. It sets local ordinances, approves the city budget, and oversees city departments and services.
The council has 15 members. Twelve are elected from single-member districts and represent a specific part of the county. Three are elected at-large and represent the entire county. District members serve two-year terms. At-large members serve four-year terms. The at-large member who receives the most votes in the preceding general election serves as vice mayor.
The mayor is the presiding officer of the council and votes only to break a tie among the elected members. In the mayor's absence, the vice mayor presides.
Council elections are nonpartisan. Term limits apply to each type of seat separately: no more than six consecutive terms as a district member and no more than three consecutive terms as an at-large member, which works out to twelve consecutive years in either case.
To find who represents you, enter your address above. Your district member represents your immediate area, and your three at-large members represent the whole county.
Council meetings
Council meetings are open to the public. There are two regular types.
- Work sessions: Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m., where the council discusses items before voting on them.
- Voting meetings: Thursdays at 6:00 p.m., about twice a month, where the council takes formal votes.
Both are held in Council Chamber on the second floor of the Government Center at 200 E. Main St. Meeting dates and times occasionally shift, and the council does not meet every week of the year, so check the current council calendar before attending.
Meetings air on LexTV, on Spectrum channel 185 and MetroNet channel 3. The city also streams meetings live and keeps an archive of past meetings with their agendas and supporting documents.
At-large members
These three members represent all of Fayette County rather than a single district, so they represent every address in Lexington. The vice mayor is also an at-large member.
