to the upcoming Fountain Avenue area revitalization. He is representing citizens
in this 18 block area that feel they are being "squeezed out" because they do not
have the resources to bring their property up to code. He was also concerned with
comments made by city public officials that have been published in The Paducah
Sun. He is asking that the citizens be made aware of the ordinances before the
inspectors go into their home and he asked that these same rules be enforced
throughout town, not just in this one area.
• He also expressed concern over an elderly lady who had received a citation from
the City Inspection Department due to her home being in disrepair.
Lettie Cobb-McCorry spoke regarding her concerns with the way the State
Highway Department changed the striping along 8th Street (Harrison intersection)
where the child was hit and killed by an automobile. Rick Murphy, Acting City
Manager, tried to explain to her that 8th Street is a state highway and they have
jurisdiction as to the proper striping and signage.
