Upon reviewing the recommendations, the Board of Commissionersagreed with PRDA's recommended revisions to the Project. !a order to proceed with the Riverfront Phase 1-B Project as recorsu:lended by PIRDA (with the exception of including the sanitary wastewater system as required by the BIG grant), the Project plans and specifications are in need of being revised and updated by a professional engineer. To complete this engineering design task, Bacon Farmer Workman Engineering & Testing, Inc., (BFW), a local engineering firm, has submitted a cost estimate in the amount of $90,340.00. This cost estimate includes the revision of the plans and specifications and professional assistance during the bidding process. BFW is aware of the crucial timeline associated with the BIG grant and has agreed to expedite the revisions as soon as possible. When the plans and specifications are finalized by BFW and approved by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Office of Local Programs, the Project will be ready to advertise for receipt of bids. It is our desire that the -Project be advertised chis fall/winter, so that the gangway and transient dock can be manufactured during the winter months and then be installed next spring when the Ohio River levels are low enough for construction.

It's important at this juncture to check your pulse and that of the community with regards to several foundational topics. Much of the discussion so far has focused on the need for a new or improved City Hall, and as might have been expected there developed a quick consensus to move forward with one option or the other. In this workshop we will take the discussion forward to a focus on "what ought to be" with regard to Paducah's City Hall. I think if the commission builds a thoughtful foundation of guiding principles, supported by agreed upon values, then most, if not all, of the subsequent decisions can be made to reflect those main beliefs. Going forward, we will have to temper our inclination to include all ideas into the project. We will be inundated with a wide range of concepts generated by the professional staff and the DESIRA9FEASIBLE community. Striking that correct balance will, again, be guided through the lens of the principles we will be adopting early in the process, At the workshop, I will ask you to bring greater articulation to the following list of project values to consider. Please reflect upon the outcomes that must be formulated for the project: 1. Customer Experience 2. Functional Building & Workspaces 3. Siting Impacts 4. Image S. Sustainability Each of these broad categorical areas should have respective sub -areas. I expect some of the sub -areas will overlap and may likely conflict with others. For example: Customer Experience Location Parking Ease of Use It's easy to imagine that elements of building functionality, such as security, may conflict with a goal of making the building open and accessible for customer use. We need to recognize those values and seek to balance them. After the workshop, we will create web and social media pages to gather further comment and input on the values discussed, After a period of a few weeks, we will compile the public input and merge it with the Commission's thoughts to establish the Guiding Principles that will become the basis for the decision making process going forward. It is anticipated that the first step for the Project Working Group will be to apply the Guiding Principles to the issue of "renovation" or "build new" and bring a recommendation forward to the City Commission for direction on that pivotal issue. The purpose of the Workshop is not to develop a prioritized list of considerations around each of the project values, but rather to generate input and gain knowledge on what each might mean for the new design or renovation. The Director Team will participate with you in the Workshop, and I am confident that together we can be as productive as we all were at last year's Next Steps Workshop that followed the Citizens Survey.
