The first plot is expected to be planted in the fall and will be located at 14th and Madison Streets. Parks Services Program Manager Laurie Blount is leading the project.

BUZZ THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE EVENT Acting Police Chief Sandy Joslyn—The 2nd annual event was held on June 6, 2009 and involved several emergency response personnel that agreed to shave their heads to raise money for the Dream Factory. The Dream Factory is an organization that grants wishes to critically ill children. Officer James Davis was the top fundraiser but Officer Gretchen Dawes -Morgan raised a lot of funds by agreeing to shave her head if $10,000 was collected by the Police Department. Several other female officers and civilians working in the Police Department also agreed to have their heads shaved. The participating female officers were Officer Gretchen Dawes -Morgan, Melissa Dillon, and Cindy Neihoff. The civilians in the Police Department that participated were Connie Waldridge and Malinda Elrod. A total of 40 heads were shaved. Approximately $23,000 was raised, $14,000 was collected by the Police Department. GREATER PADUCAH SUSTAINABILITY (GPS) -RECYCLE UPDATE & FINANCIAL REQUEST Bob Johnson, with Jackson Purchase Foundation—This group started recycling in 2007 on the Kroger parking lot. They are now located on North 8th Street, and have added 2 bailers, collect about 35 tons of recyclable goods every month, and have about 1200 to 1400 cars come through to drop off recyclable materials. Membership has grown to JUNE 9, 2009 about 750 members. An agreement has been signed with QRS, a very large recycler out of St. Louis. They will pick up materials and GPS will receive payment for those materials. Earlier in the year they applied for a grant and the City and County agreed to provide the matching funds in the amount of $7,500 each. The County may receive stimulus monies in the amount of $289,990. GPS is hoping they will be allowed to use some of the monies to start single stream recycling. This is where one container is used for all recyclable materials. They asked the Commission to consider advancing the $7,500 grant match in this fiscal year instead of next fiscal year. This will help with operating funds until they receive the grant from the State. Mayor thinks the City should be able to come up with the money and asked the Acting City Manager, Jon Perkins to make a note to look into the request. Several businesses have expressed interest in starting recycling but GPS cannot handle the volume until they have the monies to help expand. SPOTLIGHT Pam Spencer, Public Information Officer, spotlight was by the request of Commissioner Kaler to remind the public about the City's dog ordinances regarding "scoop the poop" regulations and for dogs that attend public events must be muzzled. Dog owner Patience Renzulli demonstrated how to use "poop bags" for dog owners to use when on public property and demonstrated the proper types of muzzles that should be used for the safety of the dog and public.
