At a Regular Meeting of the Paducah Board of Commissioners held on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, at
5:00 p.m., in the Commission Chambers of City Hall located at 300 South 5th Street, Mayor George
Bray presided. Upon call of the roll by the City Clerk, Lindsay Parish, the following answered to
their names: Commissioners Gault, Guess, Henderson, and Mayor Bray (4). Commissioner
Wilson was absent.
INVOCATION
Commissioner Gault led the invocation.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Mayor Bray led the pledge.
NEW EMPLOYEE INTRODUCTIONS
Chief Brian Laird introduced 911 Communications Services Manager Kimberly Clark; and
Telecommunicators Dalen McNeese.
MAYOR'S REMARKS
Mayor Bray spoke about the 911 upgrade. The Mayor watched the June 27t' Fiscal Court Meeting
and is hopeful that the City and County will be able to reach an agreement on the 911 upgrade.
There are three (3) reasons that the Mayor believes the 911 upgrade is important:
1. Ownership — the City of Paducah has ownership of the 911 system.
2. Public Safety — the system is out of date and there are dead spots which need to be addressed
for public safety.
3. Funding —the upgrade will be expensive and there must be adequate funding for the project.
If McCracken County does not become a full partner on the project, then City taxpayers will
more heavily burdened with the cost of the upgrade. There is a limited amount of funding
available from the bond issue.
The 911 Communications Oversight Committee is working through funding issues and meeting bi-
weekly to develop a recommendation for the Paducah City Commission and the McCracken County
Fiscal Court. The Mayor would like to see more certainty on the timeline and more of a sense of
urgency to complete the upgrade.
The Mayor trusts the Judge and each County Commissioner, but the City and County have different
needs, problems and money sources. These differences must be worked through to accomplish the
goal.
The County has urged the City to sign an Interlocal Agreement for the Sports Complex. The
Interlocal Agreement has not been negotiated, but the Mayor has asked the City Manager and the
Deputy Judge Executive to work through the finer points of the Sports Complex Interlocal
Agreement.
Commissioners Henderson, Gault and Guess agreed that the 911 upgrade is an important project
and that they want to work on the issues to find a solution.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Bray asked if the Board wanted any items on the Consent Agenda removed for separate
consideration. Mayor Bray asked the City Clerk to read the items on the Consent Agenda.
Commissioner Gault offered Motion, seconded by Commissioner Guess, that the items on the
consent agenda be adopted as presented.
