Lexington’s first Civic Assembly will dive deep into two specific topics in our Urban County Charter: council compensation and charter review.

On January 28th, in a live public and broadcasted event, we randomly and anonymously selected the 36 members of Lexington’s first Civic Assembly. The process we used is called a civic lottery. Learn more about this process here.

Just after Thanksgiving, we sent out postcards to 10,000 randomly selected address around Fayette County asking anyone in the household to apply for Lexington’s first Civic Assembly!

This page provides more information on the process of Civic Assemblies, what it will look like in Lexington, and why the Urban County Charter is important.
