PRESENTATIONS
GPEDC QUARTERLY REPORT
Chad Chancellor, GPEDC Executive Director, gave a quarterly report. He thanked the
Commission for its support of the Murray State University development project that will
be located in the city. Right now there are 18 economic development projects in the
works. Five of those prospects would employ more than 100 people. A new website has
been created which should be a great recruiting tool. This year was the first time in a
long time that GPEDC has been able to pay toward its principal instead of paying just
interest. In August, GPEDC will begin implementing a strategic plan that involves face
to face meetings with prospective businesses.
FLOODWALL
City Engineer Rick Murphy gave a report on the floodwall, "How It Protects Paducah
and McCracken County." Pam Spencer, PIO, summarized his report in the City's
highlights as follows:
City Engineer -Public Works Director Rick Murphy provided an overview
of the areas in the City and County that are protected by the floodwall.
Murphy says many residents have questions about how the floodwall
operates and how rising river water affects areas, especially the floodplain,
located outside the floodwall. Murphy explained that Paducah is in an
area that is affected by three basins: Missouri River, Mississippi River,
and the Ohio River. Murphy says, "About 40 percent of the continental
United States' water runoff comes by or near Paducah." In comparing the
1937 and 2011 flooding, Murphy showed rainfall graphics provided by the
National Weather Service. Between January 1 and May 31 of 1937,
Paducah received 33.33 inches of rainfall. During the same time period
- this year, Paducah received 38.25 inches of rain. Murphy says Paducah
had to deal with worse weather conditions this year; however, the 80
reservoirs upstream of Paducah and the City's floodwall protected the
City. Mayor Bill Paxton says, `I think we are the poster child for the
Corps of Engineers in how the floodwall is supposed to be run." The
floodwall protects 16.92 square miles of McCracken County with 8.02 of
those square miles within the Paducah city limits. Murphy adds that the
floodwall protects a total of 12,126 City structures and 5,052 County
structures. That equals 60 percent of City structures and 11.4 percent of
County structures outside the City limits that rely on the floodwall's
protection. According to data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, an
estimated $1.2 billion of assets are protected by Paducah's floodwall
protection system. Murphy stresses that since receiving the floodwall and
its operational schedule from the Corps of Engineers in 1949, the City of
Paducah has solely operated and maintained the system. The City sets
aside an annual budget of approximately $500,000 for the floodwall
maintenance and operations.
At the end of the presentation Murphy recognized Floodwall
Superintendent Kenny Brannon for his work during this year's flooding.
In talking about Brannon Murphy says, "I know this man here, he didn't
sleep for 72 hours. I had to force him to go home." Murphy and Brannon
thanked all the City staff for their teamwork during the flood event.
Mayor Paxton says, "We are running a first class floodwall levee
system."
