# Becky Peak - City of Plantation
District 7 honors one of our finest - a mayor of one of our home rule cities. Congratulations Mayor Peak for being our Spotlight for September! We are delighted to feature you this month and share your story and the story of the city of Plantation with our subscribers. You are an inspiration to us all and we are peacock proud that you are a resident of District 7.
Thank you for your great service! Who is Mayor Peak? I spent about 18 years as a federal civil servant, working for both General Services Administration and U.S. Bankruptcy Court. After I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration at UofL, I decided that I needed to branch out and leave the government.

During that time, we experienced the fun, and the trials and tribulations, I guess, of becoming a publicly traded company. I enjoyed that job. I left ResCare and decided I wanted to start focusing more on not-for-profits. I had served on many not-for-profit boards and volunteered a lot. I worked with EACM (Eastern Area Community Ministries) for a while, and I've been a Residence Coordinator at California Square One apartments, low income apartments for adults.

Councilwoman Dr. Paula McCraney recognizes the City of Plantation and Mayor Becky Peak for securing a "No Left Turn" restriction at Bayberry Place and Westport Road to improve traffic safety. By coordinating with KYTC, the team fast-tracked the project, which was completed at no cost to the City of Plantation through an aligned contractor, exemplifying effective intergovernmental collaboration. The project started on June 17 and is estimated to last 3 - 5 days depending upon the weather. EMS, police department, fire department, and other business affected by this project have been notified.

I want people to participate in government and understand that if they don't participate in government, public officials may not be doing all that they could be doing to represent you. I would like for people to be able to step up and say, "Yes, I want to run for council," or, "Yes, I want to run for mayor." Every time the election cycle rolls around, we're out knocking on doors trying to get people to participate.

I would like for people to see how exciting this can be and what an impact they can have on our community. The ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) money that Plantation has received is going to set up the city for the next 20 years. We are going to be very strategic and very diligent about how to spend that money.

What are some of your ongoing Plantation projects? Our projects that are ongoing are always things we do to help people make the best choices they can for themselves about their quality of life. I don't want to define that for anybody. I just want to make sure that the opportunities are there so that people can find their own level of quality of life. So, right now, we've got a state grant that's in process for pedestrian upgrades, which really are ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant ramps at our intersections. Instead of doing a little bit at a time, we will be able to be totally ADA compliant for walkers, people using mobility devices and people who push strollers.

- The duties of the mayor depend on the type of government within the city, 
- If the city has a mayor-council form of government, the mayor is responsible for the executive and administrative functions of the government. They oversee all city departments, but cannot vote in most council matters. 
- If the city has a mayor-aldermen form of government, the mayor is responsible for executing and enforcing local and state laws. The mayor may appoint city officials with approval from the aldermen. 
- If the city has a mayor-commission form of government, the mayor presides over the city commissioners and can vote within the commission. The mayor is responsible for executing all decisions reached by the commission. 
- If the city has a city manager form of government, the mayor presides over the city commissioners and can vote within the commission. The mayor is recognized as the head of the city department but does not have any regular administrative duties. 
- City mayors are elected during general elections for a four-year term. Most cities in Kentucky hold nonpartisan elections for mayor.
