    OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

    LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY

    GREG FISCHER
    MAYOR

    July 12, 2020

    President David James


    Councilman Kevin Kramer
    Metro Council
    Louisville, KY 40202

    RE: Letter of July 8

    Dear President James, Councilmembers Kramer, Fox, Reed, Ackerson, Piagentini, Green and
    Peden:

    Please accept the following as a response to your letter of July 8. First, I share your concerns
    about the healing of our community given the events surrounding Ms. Taylor’s death. I have and
    continue to meet with many of the protesters, police, and community to hear their concerns,
    address what is possible at this time while investigations are ongoing and begin to chart a path
    forward together for our community.

    While I take your requests in good faith, I must misunderstand your request for the release of “all
    documents that relate to the Breonna Taylor case” given the fact that your request would include
    the investigative materials currently being reviewed by the FBI, the Department of Justice and
    the Attorney General for potential criminal prosecution. You are aware of this fact and have been
    for some time.

    Obviously, and for the reasons that I have stated for several weeks, your requests cannot be
    honored at this time. The FBI and the Attorney General’s office have sent letters to Metro stating
    that premature release of investigative materials will compromise their investigations. (See
    attached). Further, since the termination of Officer Hankinson, I am further bound to refrain from
    commenting on any matter relating to that case as well per KRS 67C.326(1)(f). I will not, and am
    duty bound to not take action to harm the criminal integrity of this case.

    Your communication also requests information on the work along Elliott Avenue and the Place
    Based Investigations (“PBI”) unit, which we are happy to provide in great detail. The PBI unit is
    based on the PIVOT model from Cincinnati, Ohio. The Elliott Avenue work to combat vacant
    and abandoned properties is one small piece of the larger Russell neighborhood revitalization
    and stabilization work we’ve been doing for years, including through three (3) HUD Choice
    Neighborhoods grants and the Vision Russell initiative.

    As you know from all our work together under this initiative, the goal is to provide a safe, clean,
    desirable, and affordable neighborhood for the residents of Russell, including those on Elliott
    Avenue. I know that we all agree that the residents of Russell deserve such conditions and
    appreciate the work that we have done and will continue to do to that end.

    Sincerely,

    Greg Fischer
    Mayor
