INVOCATION Commissioner Holland gave the invocation. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Harless led the pledge. PRESENTATION(S) (The following summaries for the presentations are from an excerpt from the City Commission Highlights prepared by Pam Spencer, Public Information Officer.) "REPORT ON OPIOIDS IN KENTUCKY — DR. PHILLIP CHANG, UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY Phillip Chang, M.D., chief medical officer at University of Kentucky HealthCare, made a presentation to the Paducah Board of Commissioners via Skype regarding the opioid crisis in Kentucky. In his presentation, Dr. Chang referenced a March 2018 paper he co-authored titled Opioid Safety. Dr. Chang said this is an issue in which more than a 100 Americans are dying every day from an opioid overdose. He added, "Seventy-five percent of illicit opioid use began with a straight -forward honest -to -goodness prescription from a physician like me." In 2016, UK HealthCare created an opioid stewardship program aimed at reducing inappropriate prescriptions for opioids. The program closely looks at pain assessment and management strategies. Dr. Chang says the stewardship program is part of a comprehensive program for a community that addresses substance abuse treatment, harm reduction strategies, and overdose/misuse prevention. Dr. Chang referenced a 2016 UK Healthcare survey of prescribers and pharmacists at the institution regarding opioid prescribing. The general theme that emerged was, although providers felt opioids were overused, this overuse was largely driven by patient expectations. Dr. Chang says the opioid stewardship program has been a success at UK HealthCare with the hospital seeing a significate increase in the percentage of patients being released with no opioids. As the opioid stewardship program moves forward, Dr. Chang says the key is the education of patients, prescribers, and physicians across the state. Dr. Chang said, "It's a slow process, and results don't happen overnight." PLANS TO IMPROVE STATE INTERSECTIONS — KENTUCKY TRANSPORTATION CABINET, DISTRICT 1 Chief District Engineer Mike McGregor with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Keith Damron of American Engineers, Inc. discussed the plans underway to improve three intersections in Paducah. The goal is to reduce the number of crashes at these intersections. At the intersection of 3rd Street and Jefferson Street, crash statistics show 25% of the crashes are due to side -swipes. The Cabinet plans to create a neck -down bulb out configuration which will improve a driver's visibility at the intersection. At the intersection of 28ffi Street and Broadway, 34% of the crash are rear -end with 34% of the crashes at an angle. The solutions will be to change the lane patterns by restriping and adding more signage to create designated left only, through traffic, and right only lanes. The solutions for the intersection of U.S. 60 and Friedman Lane include the addition of striping to create a right turn lane off U.S. 60 and the installation of channels to designate driveways into Hancock's. The work on these three projects is expected to be completed this year. Regarding the I-24 exit 4 interchange improvement project, McGregor says the design is complete. The State is working to finalize agreements with utilities and purchase easements. The State already has approved the funds for the project. The project does include the addition of a multi -use sidewalk path on the north side of U.S. 60 from Coleman Road almost to James Sanders Boulevard.

COMMENTS COMMENTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER • City Engineer -Public Works Director Rick Murphy updated the Paducah Board of Commissioners regarding the Ohio River at Paducah. Currently, Paducah is below 47 feet and dropping. Regarding the floodgates, Murphy says the large floodgate adjacent to the Convention Centers will be removed tomorrow in addition to a floodgate that is used by Western Rivers Boat Management. City crews also will be working on the river side of the floodwall to remove liter and organic debris. As the riverfront is cleaned, additional floodgates will be removed. • Interim City Manager discussed the property located in the 1900 Block of Martin Luther King Drive that has the Martin Luther King monument. The City mows the property which is owned by the NAACP. The City and NAACP entered into an encroachment agreement in 1995. There is a light on City property at Oak Grove Cemetery that provides light for the monument. The NAACP purchases the flags for the monument. The City's cost is approximately $1500 per year for the light and for the maintenance costs. Mayor Brandi Harless and other Commissioners want to review all of the properties that are maintained by the City but owned privately. MOTION TREE CONSERVATION PLAN Mayor Harless offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Rhodes, directing the Planning Director to create options for a tree conservation plan in relation to zoning ordinances. Adopted on call of the roll, yeas, Commissioners Abraham, Holland, Rhodes, Wilson and Mayor Harless (5). PUBLIC COMMENTS • Patti Bell, resident, requested the City improve the conditions of sidewalks. She uses a wheelchair scooter for transportation and sometimes has to get out in the street due to the condition of the sidewalk. • Donald McNeil, resident, expressed his disappointment with the City's decision to continue to maintain the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial property on Park Avenue. ADJOURN Mayor Harless offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Holland to adjourn the meeting.
