BUDGET WORKSHOP
Public Information Officer Pam Spencer offered the following summary of the Budget Workshop:
Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Workshop (4:30 p.m.)
“Before their regular Commission meeting at 5:30 p.m., the Paducah Board of
Commissioners held a budget workshop at 4:30 p.m. to review the Fiscal Year 2021
Budget, a balanced budget. City Manager Jim Arndt, Assistant City Manager Michelle
Smolen, and Finance Director Jonathan Perkins led the discussion of the budget
process, operating funds, and recommendations. Arndt said the theme of the FY21
budget is “budget in place” which refers to keeping the City’s workforce, operations,
and projects intact even with an expected revenue decrease. Arndt said, “Team
Paducah employed an intense budget formulation process that included participation
from the City Manager’s Office, the Finance Team, the Leadership team, and the Board
of Commissioners. This year was extremely collaborative, as we worked tirelessly
together to meet the needs of our community, while conservatively budgeting for an
uncertain FY21.
Several of highlights regarding the development of the FY21 budget are as follows:
Due to the effects from COVID-19 on the economy, Paducah is projecting a 10%
decrease in major revenue sources which directly impacts the General Fund, the City’s
main operating fund.
The proposed General Fund budget is $35,888,465 which is a $85,000 decrease from
this fiscal year’s original budget. Since the Investment Fund is funded by the payroll tax
which is projected to decrease 15%, the proposed budget is $5,113,560.
To balance the budget, the following measures are proposed:
o A hiring freeze and the freezing of merit increases for the fiscal year;
580584584
May 26, 2020
o Use approximately $1.5 million from the unreserved General Fund cash balance in
excess of the required 12% reserves;
o Use $500,000 of reserves from the Debt Service Fund; and
o Use $789,375 from the Radio Fund to pay the City’s portion of the 911 operations.
Even with the effects of the expected revenue decreases from COVID-19, the City has
positive budgetary news to share:
The proposed budget contains all annual debt requirements in the amount of
$3,968,945.
The annual pension contributions are remaining flat for this fiscal year with rates
provided by the State.
The proposed budget contains a 2.5% cost-of-living increase as contractually obligated
for IAFF and FOP. This percentage will be for the non-represented employees as
well. AFSCME will receive a contractually obligated 2% increase.
The proposed budget includes significant funding for current capital projects and some
new purchases including adding $250,000 to start the televising and cleaning of the
stormwater system and $400,000 set aside for a project in association with FEMA for
the dredging of the sediment near the Transient Boat Dock.
The proposed budget includes our required 12% reserves for the General Fund.
The proposed budget includes funding for the Grant-in-Aid program.
The proposed budget projects no increase in property tax rates.
Regarding the City’s Strategic Plan, also known as Our Paducah, all of the projects in
the proposed budget have been reviewed to insure alignment. An updated Strategic
Plan document based on the January Commission retreat will be placed before the
Board in July for adoption. In reviewing the current Plan, Smolen said there are 37
action items. Even with the COVID-19 situation, 31 of the items are moving forward
with either little impact or minor adjustments. A few of the action items being moved to
a future date (What’s Important Later (WIL) category) include the development of a
comprehensive bike plan, adoption of performance measures throughout the
organization, installation of public art in community gateways, and the hosting of a
multicultural event.
The City Team plans to review the budget numbers after six months into the FY21
budget, more than likely in February, to review the revenue projections and make any
adjustments on spending. The budget ordinance for FY21 is expected to be introduced
June 9 and adopted at a called meeting on Wednesday, June 24. The City’s fiscal year
begins July 1. The Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Book will be placed on the City of Paducah
website in July. To view the current year’s budget and budget information dating back
to 2005, visit http://paducahky.gov/city-budget.”

Short Title: Center Point Recovery Center - 2020 CDBG Grant Application - T WILSON
Category: Municipal Order
Staff Work By: Ty Wilson
Presentation By: Ty Wilson
Background Information: The Department for Local Government (DLG) is set to receive funding for the
2020 Funding Cycle from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program. Funds are designated for various program areas including Community
Projects, Community Emergency Relief Fund, Economic Development, Housing and Public Facilities.
The CDBG program provides assistance to communities for use in revitalizing neighborhoods, expanding
affordable housing and economic opportunities, providing infrastructure and/or improving community
facilities and services. With the participation of their citizens, communities can devote these funds to a wide
range of activities that best serve their own particular development priorities. All project activities must meet at
least one of three national objectives:
benefit to low and moderate income persons;
prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and,
meeting particularly urgent community development needs.
On behalf of Four Rivers Behavioral Health, the City proposes the submittal of a CDBG application for the
Center Point Recovery Center for personnel expenses. The application will be in the amount of $200,000
through the Public Services program. These funds will be matched by the Four Rivers Behavioral Health with
other federal and state funds. Local matching funds will not be required from the City of Paducah.
A fee of $2,500 will be paid to the city for maintaining and providing administration of the funding.

Category: Municipal Order
Staff Work By: Robin Newberry, Ty Wilson
Presentation By: Brian Laird
Background Information: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP)
Grant Program, an online application, provides a maximum 50-percent reimbursement for the purchase of body
armor for police. The City received $6,330 in 2018 and $4,367.71 in 2019.
The national Institute of Justice, the research, development and evaluation agency of the United States
Department of Justice, sets the only nationally accepted standards for body armor worn by law enforcement
officers. NIJ recognizes an industry standard of a five-year life span on body armor. The Department of Justice
BVP also recognizes five-year life span on body armor. In light of these industry standards and endorsements
by the preeminent law enforcement agencies, the Paducah Police Department follows a five-year replacement
plan on body armor worn by law enforcement officers.
The Police Department is requesting 17 body armor vests for officers from the BVP program for a total cost of
$11,013.79. The Police Department is basing the cost of each vest on the state contract price of $647.87
each. This grant requires a 50-percent match; therefore, the Police Department will request $5,506.90 from the
BVP program and provide $5,506.90 from FY21 operating funds. This application was submitted prior to the
deadline of June 8th, 2020.

Background Information: The Midtown Alliance of Neighbors has been working toward achieving
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) status with the Kentucky Housing Corp (KHC) by
demonstrating that as a nonprofit, community-based service organization they have significant capacity to
develop affordable housing for the community it serves. One of the last steps is to complete a new construction
project.
To facilitate this new construction project, an 8-lot subdivision has been prepared for the property located at
1400 Martin Luther King Jr Dr and 501 North 14th Street for the construction of new homes. Three homes are
scheduled for construction in 2020.
On April 28, 2020, the Paducah Board of Commissioners passed Municipal Order 2338 authorizing the
transfer of real property located at 1400 Martin Luther King Jr Dr and 501 North 14th Street to Midtown
Alliance of Neighbors for the construction of single-family homes.
A plat of the new subdivision, Remington Subdivision, was prepared by Dummer Surveying & Engineering
Services, Inc. and submitted. As part of the subdivision process, the closure of a portion of an alley and the
dedication of a new public alley was necessary.
On May 4, 2020, the Paducah Planning Commission passed a resolution proposing the closing of a portion of
an alley between 1420 Martin Luther King Jr Dr and 1415 Harrison Street and the dedication of a new alley
between 1400 Martin Luther King Jr Dr and 1401 Harrison Street. As indicated on the Remington Subdivision
