DISCUSSIONS
POLICE CAR TAKE-HOME POLICY was discussed. Commissioners
Grumley, Hornsby and Renfro are in favor of allowing police
residing in both the city and county to drive police cars home.
Commissioner Coleman stated he is in favor of allowing only
those police who reside in the city to take a car home. He said
he was elected by the citizens of Paducah to serve the citizens
of Paducah.
Mayor Jones suggested that the take-home policy be instituted in
increments, with city take-home as the first step, and possibly
county take-home, with restrictions, after 30 to 60 days.
However,'he indicated that he may reconsider this suggestion.
BROADWAY & JETTON BLVD. PARKING PROBLEM. Mayor Jones said
parking is allowed too close to the corner at this intersection
and instructed Don Harper, Street Supt., to move parking signs
back further from the corner to correct this problem, and to

HISTORICAL MARKER & MONUMENT IN VICINITY OF 24TH & JEFFERSON

complaining about the historical marker located next to the

should not be in this location. Mayor Jones directed that the
marker be moved to another a better location.
COUNTY APPROPRIATION FOR CLEAN-UP DAY
Commissioner Renfro reported she read a recent article announc-
ing that McCracken County Fiscal Court has allocated $10,000 for
Spring Clean-up Day (for hazardous waste, etc.) for April 20th.
It was decided that the City will also allocate $10,000 for this
project. The City will work with those senior citizens and the
disabled who are unable to take their items to the transfer
station. Sarah Phillips, Solid Waste Superintendent, will
advertise this program.

letters of acknowledgement concerning police officers:
1. To Sgt. Steve Salentine from William D. Hensley, Minister of
Ninth Street Church of Christ, thanking Sgt. Balentine for
taking time out of his schedule on February 28, 1996, to speak
