NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, ACTING BY AND THROUGH ITS BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That the City of Paducah, Kentucky urges our State Legislators to vote against House Bill 50 and Senate Bill 50, as well as any other future legislation that requires partisan elections on a local level.

This submission is organized to address the RFP specifications and also represents our acknowledgement of the terms and conditions, with no variations indicated pending negotiation of a final scope of services and fee if selected (per RFP page 13; and note that we combined page 11 items F -Proposed Operation Plan and K -Proposed Work Task Plan based on your October 12 email response to our RFP questions that we could do so to "describe your approach to the project"). This response is also designed to demonstrate how our credentials, relevant experience, professional tools and techniques, and personal demeanor and community engagement skills can help the City of Paducah and McCracken County achieve the objectives and outcomes they seek through this project. Given KKC's history and the backgrounds of our key personnel, along with those of our Kaskaskia colleagues, so many of your community's issues and needs resonate with us, making it a very comfortable scenario. We are highly interested in the prospect of working again in your area based on our past lead consulting role on the 2007 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Paducah, and as a subconsultant on the concurrent Paducah Riverfront Redevelopment Plan to provide state-of-the-art 3D imaging and a simulation model for visualizing potential improvements along the Ohio Riverfront and nearby downtown blocks — which attracted national coverage for Paducah in APA's Planning magazine. Our renewed interest is keener than ever after receiving your further RFP guidance and from our "homework" to date on your area's assets and outlook 15 years later. We appreciate this chance to summarize our capabilities and proven approach to positioning our client local governments for viable actions and tangible results through effective planning. I hope it is apparent through this submission that our team remains greatly interested in your area and its future prospects. We would look forward to working with citizens, public and private leaders, and staff to shape that future, building on the results and success of your past and ongoing planning efforts.

ORGANIZATION Firm Profile: Kendig Keast Collaborative Kendig Keast Collaborative (KKC) represents the collaboration of Bret C. Keast, AICP, and Gary Mitchell, FAICP, and a select group of talented principals and associates. Our firm has earned a reputation for its innovation and repeated success in solving problems of varying complexities for small and large clients in a range of environments. Our practice emphasizes the pursuit of good land stewardship, as well as conserving resources, preserving and enhancing community character, safeguarding neighborhood integrity, and ensuring fiscal responsibility. Our proven approach is founded on the principle of performance, meaning development that is in context with its built and natural environments. KKC continues to build on the foundation and body of work of Lane Kendig, our founder and a respected authority in the urban planning field. The firm was originally established in December 1982 as Lane Kendig, Inc. In 2002, Bret C. Keast, AICP, joined the practice as Vice President and Partner. The firm name was changed to Kendig Keast Collaborative in 2007 to reflect the transition to Bret's ownership. In 2009, Lane Kendig retired, although he remains a Strategic Advisor to the firm and its employees. Bret remains as Owner and Chief Executive Officer, and together with Gary as KKC President, directs a small and highly qualified staff which provides professional services in the areas of comprehensive and strategic planning, zoning and other development regulations, growth management and resource protection, land planning, and various related specialties. KKC's unique process is grounded in the encouragement of meaningful public participation, a clear understanding of planning issues and implementation options, and a direct linkage between plans and ordinances to ensure they are both politically feasible and able to be implemented. We are proud of our firm's reputation for providing clients with highly customized and responsive approaches to challenging community planning issues, resulting in innovative yet viable solutions. Our Services KKC principals and personnel allocate their time nearly equally between comprehensive community plans and development code work. We also complete other special plans and studies for local government clients, including socioeconomic analyses; downtown, corridor, neighborhood, and redevelopment plans; parks, recreation, and trails master plans; land use and development impact studies; growth management and annexation assessments; and 3-D visualization and mapping projects. Planning Community planning is the foundation of KKC's consulting practice, along with development code work. Our principals and senior staff have led project teams and played substantial roles in the preparation of dozens of plans in more than 80 jurisdictions across the U.S. We offer significant experience with overall comprehensive plans, as well as with typical plan elements, which are sometimes the focus of stand-alone projects and work products: CORPORATE OFFICE Texas 1415 Highway 6 South, Ste.

Kendig-11i with Bret C. Keast l A Guide to Planning for Community Character (Island Press, 2011) ♦ Comprehensive Planning to establish clear goals and policies for the community's future growth and enhancement, leading to specific, attainable action strategies, with appropriate implementation guidance. ♦ Land Use Planning to accommodate projected population growth and economic development objectives and to address central city redevelopment needs, neighborhood integrity, and image and character concerns along key corridors. ♦ Environmental Planning to protect a range of resources (floodplains, wetlands, water bodies, forests and woodlands, prairies, steep slopes, unstable slopes or soils, threatened or endangered species habitats, wellhead protection areas, hurricane surge areas, and earthquake hazard areas) and reduce hazards to people and property, often by setting the stage for land use regulations or other implementation initiatives. ♦ Strategic Planning to assess current conditions and future trends, pinpoint specific opportunities and challenges, and establish a consensus for pursuing particular public investments and community enhancement efforts through a prioritized action agenda. ♦ Parks, Recreation, and Trails Planning to evaluate local acreage and facilities relative to national benchmarks, assess needs and prioritize improvements based on both technical standards and community input, and make jurisdictions eligible for various grant opportunities. Community Character KKC submits that the central function of any long-range plan should be protecting and enhancing the community character traits that residents and visitors value. Put simply, character should be the central theme that ties the elements of the plan together. To our team, community character is more than just aesthetics and architecture. It is also more than just "urban" or "new urban" project design. In the big picture, community character is about the relative mix of buildings, pervious and impervious surfaces, and open space and landscaping. These are the essential factors that shape development character which, in turn, influence land use compatibility, urban design, means of mobility (e.g., walkability), environmental protection, and storm water runoff, among many other variables. How these ingredients are interwoven and balanced affects the economics, function, ecology and experience of a place. As such, tying plans together with the thread of community character ensures that decisions about land use, open space, resource protection, transportation, economic development, and utilities all support the City's articulated vision. In addition, the selection of appropriate sustainability and "smart growth" strategies depends, in large measure, upon the types of character the City intends to preserve and/or promote (e.g., urban, suburban, rural, natural). There is no stronger team to help a city develop a plan or code that protects its community character. Kendig Keast Collaborative is a leading innovator in this regard. From our founder Lane Kendig's seminal work, Performance Zoning (1980), to his new book Using the New Performance Zoning (2019), and to their co -written Community Character, Principles for Design and Planning (2010) and A Guide to Planning for Community Character (2011), Lane Kendig and Bret Keast are leaders in articulating and advancing comprehensive strategies to define, protect, and enhance community character. Indeed, KKC was founded on the concept of bolstering community character through new and more effective approaches to land use planning and regulation. Our firm frequently coordinates multi -firm project teams to develop comprehensive plans which do precisely that. Implementation KKC's implementation and regulatory practice includes code evaluations and performance assessments, drafting and unification of development codes, zoning district maps, and amending consensus -based land development regulations. Through meticulous analysis and close attention to community input, we tailor regulatory strategies to achieve specific desired outcomes and foster sensitive site design and creative development practices. This sometimes requires interim ordinances to ensure protection of community character or resources while permanent regulations are drafted. KKC also has developed model codes for specific purposes which are then adapted by a variety of jurisdictions. Our principals and senior staff have also drafted proposed zoning amendments on behalf of private -sector clients who seek to develop or redevelop property in progressive ways that are not permitted under existing zoning regulations in a particular community. Of course, plan implementation is more than regulation. Our practice also includes such non -regulatory measures as creating frameworks for interlocal agreements, public-private partnerships, transfer or purchase of development rights systems, Facilitation of Code Drafting and Amendment Processes, and Commission, Board, and Administration Training. Master Planning and Urban Design Services KKC has experience facilitating planning processes at all scales, from metropolitan and community -wide levels to downtowns, neighborhoods, corridors, and other special areas. It is at this enhanced level of detail that specific challenges and opportunities emerge, and unique planning and design solutions become necessary in order to spur the "3 Rs" — redevelopment, revitalization, and reinvestment. It is imperative to think three -dimensionally about the impacts of development at this level of planning. For example, within a neighborhood planning area, residents identify with the way a street feels — how wide it is, how far back and how tall the homes are, how old the trees are, etc. They can describe what a local shopping area looks like and how it is different from one across town. Similarly, they can express pride in their downtown and a specific identity for which they are proud. Planning for these areas requires a keen understanding of land use, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, building and site design, (re)development feasibility, strategic implementation, and public policy and financing. Our staff has the skills necessary to create special area plans that identify policies, projects, and strategies that respond to local demographics, district functionality, and identity. The following are cornerstones of our special area planning approach: Community Involvement that brings together residents, property owners, businesses, realtors and brokers, investors, developers, community organizations (i.e., business improvement districts, neighborhood organizations, and not -for - profits, etc.), elected officials and staff, municipal agencies, and all ages and social groups. Facilitating open and inclusive dialogue is absolutely essential for preparing a vision and creating a realistic, market -supported action plan that reflects local values and priorities and ensures broad-based support for long-term implementation. TRUSTED PARTNERS KKC has built working relationships with an array of other consulting firms that can provide specialty services in a subconsultant or advisory role, including in areas such as civil and traffic engineering, fiscal impact analysis, scenario planning and evaluation, economic development and market analysis, environmental assessment, housing and redevelopment, community surveys, and financing and special district mechanisms. BACKGROUNDSIN LOCAL GOVERNMENT The local government planning background of many of our team members is a valuable asset, essential to crafting plans that are realistic and implementable, and regulations that are easy to administer by staff, understandable to members of planning boards and municipal councils, and that articulate development and design standards that produce predictable and desirable outcomes. 1rKENDIG KEAST C O L L A B O R A T I V E ♦ Master Planning that establishes a framework for general land use, transportation, and design character. The role of the master plan is to provide context within which specific projects or targeted areas of investment can be assessed. In this way, block or site-specific recommendations provide greater benefit to the overall land use balance, functionality, and identity of an area. Aspects of a master plan may include land use sub -districts, key redevelopment areas, streetscape enhancement corridors, civic open space elements, or unique character districts, among others. ♦ Urban Design and Visualization that transforms the vision into a three- dimensional environment. In the end, the community identifies most closely with how development will "look and feel." Our staff of planners and urban designers can demonstrate the end result of investment in the public realm, private development area, and open space, KKC uses various technologies for design visualization to help communities understand a collective manifestation of the desired outcomes, market realities, and achievable regulatory scheme. SketchUp, AutoCAD, and other graphics packages, together with hand renderings, simulate the built environment to spur dialogue regarding development alternatives, phasing, and specific aspects of community character. ♦ Redevelopment Planning to advance a vision towards market-based implementation. KKC staff members specialize in helping communities achieve redevelopment by identifying resources, partnerships, and policies that remove barriers to successful outcomes. Whether private -public partnerships, incentives, or leveraging of the private market, we craft plans that draw a clear path between concept and realization. ♦ Implementation through projects, policies, and strategies. The success of a plan depends on three factors: (1) identifying catalytic projects that foster additional investment, (2) aligning development policies and regulations with the vision, and (3) creating strategies to strengthen synergy among financiers, elected officials, public agencies, and the community at large. Any single action often involves all three factors. We consistently craft implementation programs that balance these three elements to maximize the likelihood of long-term implementation. Special Studies and Services KKC has experience facilitating planning processes at all levels, from the metropolitan area to the neighborhood. In support of special area planning — and to make visions and possibilities literally come to life — KKC brings expertise in design and 3D modeling and visualization to help clients envision and appreciate the implications of potential growth and development outcomes, boost enthusiasm among participants, and build consensus around planning or regulatory concepts. Growth Assessments and Strategy Papers help communities understand the implications of rapid growth and/or haphazard development patterns, assess their fiscal and service capacity to accommodate such trends, and consider their statutory authorities and options for better managing the location, timing, and nature of this growth.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE PROJECT REFERENCES Imagine Belleville Comprehensive Plan - Belleville, Illinois The timing of the City of Belleville's Comprehensive Plan, Imagine Belleville, coincided with the community's 200 -year anniversary, a significant milestone that brought an increased level of attention and optimism to the planning process. As an inner -ring suburb on the Illinois side of the St. Louis region, the City competed with jurisdictions directly along the interstate and located at the periphery of the metropolitan area. These challenges were offset by ongoing and significant reinvestment in its first- class Downtown; major mobility projects that improved access to economic drivers, such as Scott Air Force Base; and a unique spirit of volunteerism that was heightened with the backdrop of the City's bicentennial celebration. As a steady -growth community, one of its most significant challenges was identifying ways to promote reinvestment in its interior and historic neighborhoods. As part of the comprehensive housing and neighborhoods strategy, KKC pulled in case study research from the region as well as its own reconnaissance efforts to identify practical solutions to vacancy and blight, such as scattered lot programs, loan and financing options, and small-scale neighborhood investments. This planning process was characterized by a multi -platform, robust public engagement program that involved on- and off-line formats, such as an online discussion forum and a community open house at a coffee shop (including a ukulele band). In fact, the excitement around the planning process spurred a spinoff Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration that was speared by two Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee members. A panel of college and high school students reflected on the theme, "If I could change the community...," and the findings were tied into the plan.

Working with the City and the Florence Downtown Development Corporation (FDDC), KKC has also completed several implementation - focused updates to Florence's Downtown Master Plan. KKC is currently preparing major updates of both the Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Master Plan. Florence is an approximate midpoint between Miami, Florida and New York, New York, at the crossroads of Interstates 95 and 20. It functions as the hub city and employment center for the Pee Dee region, an eight -county area in northeast South Carolina. Florence is also the primary utility provider for the surrounding unincorporated areas. KKC's comprehensive planning efforts continue to emphasize managing Florence's growth in a fiscally and environmentally sound manner, setting out strategies to assure an adequate housing stock and ongoing neighborhood renewal, and protecting and enhancing community character and aesthetics. The swift, dramatic and award-winning transformation of Downtown through a systematic, plan -driven revitalization program has bolstered Florence's increasing focus on becoming an even more attractive city for investing, living and working. While Florence has achieved so much, the Pee Dee Region is competing with booming areas of the Carolinas for residents and workers. Strategies in the next citywide and downtown plan updates will promote radiating Florence's downtown success into surrounding neighborhoods, re -energizing "tired" roadway corridors, capitalizing on the City's extensive investments in new sports complexes and community centers, pursuing area -wide solutions to drainage challenges, and extending trails to enhance connectivity. The plans also highlight Florence's many enduring partnerships across levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the area's rich institutional and cultural resources. Targeted updates to the City's UDO are anticipated next based on the newly adopted plans. KKC is now working with the City to update the Comprehensive Plan for the next 20 years. This work is an example of how KKC's commitment to a client and submersion in the character of a community, along with successful implementation toolsets following plans, can lead to the satisfaction of long client relationships and partnerships in planning. Comprehensive Littleton, Colorado The City of Littleton specifically sought out Kendig Keast Collaborative (KKC) to guide its Comprehensive Plan process. Littleton saw itself as a perfect fit for KKC's distinctive "Community Character" approach, which looks beyond just land use to consider the variation in physical conditions along a spectrum from natural and rural landscapes, through suburban and auto -oriented settings, to the most urban and walkable situations. Given a recent period of contention and resulting inaction on a number of fronts, the City first charged KKC with facilitating a nine-month "big picture" visioning process. Together with City staff, KKC executed an intensive and highly -inclusive community engagement strategy to create a unifying vision of Littleton's future. City Council adopted the Envision Report in December 2018, marking a significant milestone in a city that had failed to adopt a series of proposed plans in recent years. KKC next produced a concise and highly visual Existing City Data Book that uses key indicators to tell a story about Littleton as it is today. The Future City portion of the Comprehensive Plan then provides goals, policies and actions across seven elements, and a link to a concurrently -prepared Transportation Master Plan for mobility factors. A fiscal impact specialist also assessed the implications of the proposed new future land use map for Littleton's municipal finances. Plan adoption (webpage: https://www.littletongov.org/my-littleton/what-is- envision-littleton) occurred in October 2019, marking another notable civic accomplishment as Littleton's last complete plan dated back to the 1980s. City officials and management continually praised the evident community "buy -in" of KKC personnel and their overall planning philosophy and approach. After an extended Council/Planning Commission work session to review the preliminary draft Plan, Littleton's Mayor called the draft "a stunning document" of which she was most proud. The City then continued its ongoing relationship with KKC by pursuing a thorough evaluation and rewrite of its longstanding zoning and land development regulations, resulting in a new Unified Land Use Code adopted in October 2021.

PROPOSED APPROACH AND WORK PLAN PROJECT AND COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING We believe that the City of Paducah and McCracken County are undertaking a comprehensive planning process as part of their ongoing commitment to plan and promote the orderly and balanced growth of the area. The purpose of this project is to prepare an updated and joint Comprehensive Plan that is sensitive to and compatible with residents' needs, desires and vision for the shared future of both city and county. A focused and refreshed plan is needed to guide the physical and economic development of the area, to preserve the character of the Paducah/ McCracken County area, and to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors. The plan will ultimately serve to guide decision-making by elected officials, City and County Planning Commissions, City and County management and staff, developers, landowners, businesses, and local institutions and organizations. Our background research and preparation for this RFP response yielded the following facts and especially notable items about Paducah/McCracken County (drawn primarily from Census 2020 and newer American Community Survey data): ♦ Paducah and McCracken County's convenient access to I-24, a strategic location at the confluence of the Tennessee, Ohio and Cumberland rivers (less than 50 miles from the Mississippi River), support a resilient regional economy with strong connections to larger external markets. ♦ Although the City of Paducah has experienced a -0.7% decrease in population over the last decade, McCracken County in 2020 had an estimated population of 67,875 (U.S. Census Bureau), indicating 3.5% population growth since 2010. The Kentucky Data Center forecasts that McCracken County will experience 5.6% growth in households from 2020 to 2040. ♦ Nearly 1 in 5 (19%) in Paducah's population are under age 18, with a slightly higher rate for McCracken County's population (22.2%). ♦ The City and County's share of population age 65 and older is approximately 20% of the total, yet the County's share of senior population has increased nearly 21% over the last decade while the City's share has increased only slightly (6.4%). ♦ McCracken County and the City of Paducah comprise a region where homeownership predominates, with nearly 65% of housing units owner - occupied in the county. Although the county's rate fell nearly 6% since 2010, the city's ownership rate has remained relatively stable over the last decade at 51 %. ♦ Median home values in McCracken County and the City of Paducah have risen in nominal dollars since 2010. The County has seen a 35.1% increase and the City a 28.4% increase. During the same period, median family income grew in both the County and the City (16.1% and 37.6%, respectively). ♦ The City has a slight gap in median household income relative to all of McCracken County, at $39,061 for the city relative to $47,011 county -wide. ♦ In Paducah, the share of owner households that were moderately or severely cost burdened (>30% of owner's household income spent on housing) decreased from 17.6% in 2015 to 17.1% in 2020. This share is slightly higher than the Approach and Intentions KKC uses a methodical and interdisciplinary approach to address a spectrum of community issues, needs, opportunities and challenges. A core focus is to forge a collective vision for the future, confirm the intentions and will of local officials and residents to shape that future, and document the mechanisms through which they will pursue desired outcomes. Both the planning process and resulting plan are intended to guide land development and redevelopment activity in a fiscally responsible manner; ensure adequate provision of public facilities and services; promote and encourage quality, sustainable development; preserve natural resources and amenities; and protect and enhance community character. The key decisions that the City of Paducah and McCracken County make today will have a significant and lasting impact on the physical character, livability and economic attractiveness of the area for years to come. 1rKENDIG KEAST C O L L A B O R A T I V E County's rate of 16.6%.

PHASE 1: PADUCAH / McCRACKEN TODAY We would compile and assess a base of information on the existing conditions and outlook for Paducah/McCracken County, focusing especially on key influences that will shape the area's future. This would provide background and assumptions to support needs assessment and long-range and strategic planning decisions throughout the comprehensive planning process. Work activities would include: ♦ Reviewing the City and County's current planning documents and land development regulations, including for potential areas of divergence. ♦ Identifying action items in previous plans that were successfully accomplished, remain to be completed, or are not likely to be pursued due to changed priorities, resource limitations or other factors. ♦ Considering relevant regional trends, plans and projects that will influence the area over the planning horizon. ♦ Itemizing key opportunities, challenges and needs facing the area, using population and other socioeconomic indicator data from local sources, the U.S. Census Bureau (2020 and newer estimates) and other readily available sources to provide further context, including for the Paducah Micropolitan Statistical Area. ♦ Completing topic -specific background study and mapping, as appropriate, to provide an up-to-date overview of the area's physical context and historical and recent development. Drawing from data and information resources provided by the City and County, plus discussions with staff and other key contacts, considerations would include: The area's physical characteristics and context, including a general inventory of valued natural, historical and cultural assets and intact open space.

After creating the project website during the Paducah/McCracken Today phase, KKC would then coordinate with City/County staff throughout the project to develop project -related content and items to be posted on the website for public information purposes (e.g., upcoming public events, interim draft plan content/maps, other graphics and visuals, etc.). The timing and frequency of such posts would be linked to specific engagement activities and deliverable milestones. The City and County can direct users to the site and highlight new posts via their websites and social media outlets. A logo and tagline for the project would be developed in coordination with City/ County staff for incorporation into the website design and use on other project documents, materials and presentations. OPTIONAL TASK ACTIVITY. KKC would prepare "meeting in a box" materials that would enable City/County staff or others, independent of the consultant team, to facilitate informal group discussions or lead other types of basic engagement activities that would expand overall community participation in the Comprehensive Plan effort, yield useful input, and do so in a consistent, structured way. KKC would prepare a new "meeting in the box" for the Paducah/McCracken Today and Paducah/McCracken Tomorrow phases of the Comprehensive Plan process. Summary results of such activities must be processed by those leading each activity (based on guidance included in the box) and transmitted back to KKC in an electronic format (i.e., Microsoft Word or Excel file template provided with the box materials) for ease of integration into overall engagement results for the Comprehensive Plan. KKC would also coordinate with City/County staff to ensure a reasonable upper limit on the number of such independently -led meetings and activities in line with the project budget. PHASE 1 Deliverable ♦ The Paducah/McCracken Today Report, which would highlight key planning considerations emerging from our initial background studies and leadership and community involvement activities.

PHASE 3: PADUCAH / MCCRACKEN TOMORROW We would prepare and compile the draft Comprehensive Plan document through this phase, based on the plan outline finalized at the end of the Direction and Assumptions phase, plus further interaction with City/County officials, staff, residents and other stakeholders. The Paducah/McCracken Tomorrow portion would focus on key planning issues and considerations, a refined vision, guiding principles and associated community goals and objectives (revised and new), and a series of specific action items. Work activities would include: ♦ Public meeting/hearing ♦ Assessing the long-range development outlook and context for Paducah and arrangements, notices. McCracken County, including consideration of post-COVID land use trends and variations from traditional practice. Drawing from results of the Paducah/ McCracken Today phase and discussions with staff and other key contacts, considerations would include: Identification of areas available, most suitable and preferred for new growth and targeted reinvestment, taking into account potential constraints such as floodplains and other physical and environmental factors, existing land use and property ownership patterns, the transportation network, and infrastructure and public service capacities and availability. A policy framework and associated strategies for coordinating growth management and future land use, applying KKC's Community Character methods, and ensuring linkages to infrastructure and service capacities, land use balance and residential density considerations, infill and redevelopment opportunities, economic development needs and socioeconomic factors, and rural/agricultural preservation and other resource conservation priorities. Strategies for overcoming any identified barriers to local housing development, and for maintaining the integrity of existing neighborhoods (including through ongoing neighborhood -level planning) while setting appropriate standards for quality, sustainable new residential areas. Ways to strengthen the area's economic base and tax base, and its "quality of place" appeal, through an area -wide economic development strategy (as specified on RFP page 9), including consideration of the general fiscal implications of future growth and development patterns and associated upgrades to or extension of public infrastructure and services. A strategy for orderly improvement of the area transportation system, considering not only facilities for automobiles but also pedestrian/bicycle circulation, transit and alternative transportation options (through the work activities specified on RFP page 9). The general capacity outlook for the area's water, wastewater and storm drainage systems, planning -level improvement needs and their approximate timing based on projected growth and potential redevelopment activity (setting the stage for more detailed system master planning per RFP page 9), and opportunities to incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) and green infrastructure design practices to boost the area's sustainability and resiliency, along with energy conservation and alternative energy strategies. Priorities for enhancing the area's park, trail and recreation sites (as specified on RFP page 9), promoting connectivity and healthy lifestyles for residents, and considering all forms of amenities and leisure, entertainment and cultural activities that contribute to community livability and appeal. Place -making, urban design and image/ appearance opportunities in terms of development quality along high-profile roadways and at "gateway" locations, beautification efforts within public areas, and preservation of valued natural/cultural/historical amenities — all synced with community branding efforts.

PHASE 3 Community and Leadership Engagement Advisory Committee Work Sessions. Conduct up to four Advisory Committee meetings during this phase to present, discuss and refine interim draft Paducah/ McCracken Tomorrow content. OPTIONAL TASK ACTIVITY: KKC would facilitate additional Advisory Committee work sessions as additional budget resources allow, to enable more in-depth discussion of draft plan content and considerations. PHASE 3 Deliverables Draft Paducah/McCracken Tomorrow portion of Comprehensive Plan, including the new Future Land Use and Character Map, as developed incrementally through the Advisory Committee process. Paducah/McCracken Tomorrow Vision Statement, which would be included and highlighted within the Paducah/McCracken Tomorrow portion of the plan but formatted in such a way that it can be printed as a stand-alone handout. The vision statement would be synthesized from leadership and community input and feedback received during the engagement activities and workshops during Phases I and 2. As part of ultimate plan adoption, the vision statement should be found to be representative of a cross-section of the community, and it should align with and strengthen existing community partnerships. PHASE 4: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Informed by the Paducah/McCracken Tomorrow Phase, we would coordinate with City/County staff to compile potential action items that are near-term and strategic in nature so they may be addressed in more detail and prioritized through the final joint workshop in this phase. The Implementation element of the plan would also: ♦ Clarify the respective implementation roles of City and County officials, boards/ commissions and staff. ♦ Highlight opportunities for the City and County to coordinate their implementation efforts with other key agencies and entities, with other jurisdictions as appropriate, and with other private and non-profit partners. ♦ Spell out essential procedures for monitoring implementation efforts and reporting progress on key action priorities annually, using specific action metrics and benchmarks where appropriate, and for completing future plan reviews and updates at appropriate milestones. KKC would also complete a more in-depth evaluation of the potential effectiveness of the City and County's current development regulations and standards/guidelines relative to goals and action items in the draft Comprehensive Plan that would likely require regulation to implement. Summary findings would be compiled in memorandum form along with recommended substantive and procedural changes to current regulations and practices to ensure consistency between plan and ordinances, and to increase the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes. PHASE 4 Community and Leadership Engagement Public Open House Event. Coordinate with City/County staff to arrange and host an Open House through which the public could view displays, hear an overview presentation, and interact with the City and County's planning consultants and staff in an informal atmosphere prior to formal public hearings. Community input and feedback would be obtained on the potential near-term action priorities in the draft Comprehensive Plan to be covered in Joint Workshop 3. OPTIONAL TASK ACTIVITY: KKC would coordinate with City/County staff to arrange and host a series of mobile "Take the Plan to Them" events at places where people already gather or come and go in large numbers (e.g., coffee spot, fitness center, grocery store entry, library, etc.) rather than the typical "Come to Us" open house at a standard public meeting venue. Along with a set of mobile displays on the draft plan, the events would be designed for quick, informal interactions and then directing people to online resources for viewing the plan in more depth prior to formal public hearings. Feedback would especially be obtained on the potential near-term action priorities to be covered in Joint Workshop 3. Joint Workshop 3. Provide an overview of the overall draft plan, build consensus on near-term action priorities, and discuss related implementation tools and logistics with the City Board of Commissioners, County Judge Executive and Fiscal Court, City and County Planning Commissions, and Advisory Committee, and City/County management and staff. PHASE 4 Deliverable ♦ Implementation section to add to the overall Comprehensive Plan package. PHASE 5: FINALIZATION AND ADOPTION Following the final joint workshop in the Plan Implementation phase, we would coordinate with City/County staff to compile a revised Hearing Draft version of the proposed Comprehensive Plan for public hearing and official consideration. Then, following adoption, we would produce the as -adopted version of the Comprehensive Plan, reflecting all further adjustments made through final review and deliberation. PHASE 5 Community and Leadership Engagement Joint Planning Commissions Public Hearing. In coordination with City/ County staff, present highlights of the final proposed Comprehensive Plan at a joint public hearing before both the City and County Planning Commissions (as feasible, unless separate City and County hearings are deemed more appropriate), and assist in responding to public comments and questions. Then proceed into a Planning Commissions workshop (also conducted jointly, as appropriate), immediately after the hearing, to identify any revisions the Commissions may suggest before making a recommendation of plan adoption to their respective elected bodies. ♦ Joint Public Hearings Before City Board of Commissioners and County Judge Executive and Fiscal Court. In coordination with City/County staff, present highlights of the final recommended plan at a joint public hearing before both governing bodies (as feasible, unless separate City and County hearings are deemed HIGH QUALITY DELIVERABLES KKC is known for plan documents that are not only sound in content and for decision-making guidance, but are visually appealing, inspirational and capture the spirit of a community. 1rKENDIG KEAST C O L L A B O R A T I V E more appropriate), and assist in responding to public comments and questions, PLAN FORMAT OPTIONS as appropriate, before each governing body considers plan adoption.

He recently achieved his Ph.D. at the University of Louisville in the Urban and Public Affairs program with a specialization in planning. His doctoral dissertation analyzed local government policy in response to the affirmatively furthering fair housing provision of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. In his public sector experience, Steve has held roles focused on neighborhood and long-range planning, conservation planning, code writing, active transportation, affordable housing, and healthy city approaches. In his public sector experience, Steve worked as a Senior Planner for Louisville (KY) Metro Government in multiple roles, including many years on the neighborhood and long-range planning team. In this capacity, he applied his skills of community engagement, project management, GIS and data analysis, and aligning best practices with the unique challenges of each plan's context. Steve also co-authored Louisville's conservation subdivision regulations where he performed extensive research, negotiated innovative solutions, and helped foster its successful adoption as a regulation. In other roles with Louisville Metro, he played a fundamental role on the leadership team in Move Louisville, the city's first multi -modal transportation plan in over 20 years. He also played a critical role advancing the Louisville Loop project, a 100 -mile plus shared -use path encircling Louisville. Steve guided the strategic direction and operational planning process to ensure the Louisville Loop's resiliency for the long-term. Steve's primary work characteristic is his devotion to promoting the concept that all plans and regulations should foster desirable community character while also serving to enhance healthy, resilient, and equitable outcomes for all citizens. He has demonstrated his dedication to these principles through his decade -plus public sector work, education training, research, and teaching. Between 2007 and 2015 he served as adjunct faculty in the University of Louisville's Masters of Urban Planning program where he taught courses on planning history, planning theory, neighborhood planning, and helped leading studio courses. Steve has spoken at national planning conferences along with regional conferences in Kentucky, Ohio, and Louisiana on neighborhood planning, active transportation, fair and affordable housing, and conservation subdivisions. Steve recently co-authored "HUD's Sustainable Communities Initiative: An Emerging Model of Place -Based Federal Policy and Collaborative Capacity Building" for Cityscape in 2017. He also authored a chapter of The Commissioner: A Publication of the American Planning Association in 2009 titled "Developing a Walkability Plan". Having resided in South America for a time, Steve is proficient in speaking Spanish. Ashley Woolsey Associate, KKC Ashley brings to Kendig Keast Collaborative (KKC) practical experience from the public sector, specifically in roles administering zoning and subdivision regulations, conducting development reviews, and updating community zoning ordinances. She also has project experience in parks and recreation planning. Ashley j oined KKC the Southern Indiana/Kentucky office as an Associate in 2019 and is based in Louisville, Kentucky. Ashley is an excellent communicator and brings her credentials in language arts to crafting easy -to -understand standards and regulations for variety of projects including zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, unified development codes, and planned development districts. She was the primary author for the update to Freeport, TX's zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations and has worked on projects for several communities including Ascension Parish, LA; Chesterfield County and Harrisonburg, VA; Borger, Early, Edinburg, Fulshear, Grand Prairie, Jasper, Liberty, and Lubbock, TX; Harrisburg, NC; and Littleton, CO. Ashley has also created supplemental development guidebooks for Harrisburg, NC and Borger, TX. Prior to her time with Kendig Keast Collaborative (KKC), Ashley worked for in the planning department for the City of Clarksville, IN, then subsequently for the City of Jeffersonville, IN as the Zoning Administrator. In these positions she processed and reviewed a variety of smaller development applications for accessory structures, sign permits, and special events. She also conducted reviews and wrote staff reports for more significant development applications (site development plans, variance requests, and subdivision plats) which she then presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Adjustment. In Clarksville, she coordinated bi- weekly technical review committee meetings with multiple department heads and applicants. In Jeffersonville, Ashley was the point of contact for potential applicants and outlined the development process during pre -conference meetings. During her tenure in the public sector, Ashley saw first-hand the problems that arise with outdated or unclear regulations. She understands the daily reality of administering zoning regulations and how crucial it is for the regulations to be explicitly written and consistently interpreted so expectations are well-defined. She found the opportunities to update or correct pieces of the codes very rewarding, especially the mutual benefit to the municipalities for whom she worked as well as the developers working within them. Ashley is passionate about working with communities to create efficient, user-friendly development regulations that can be effectively administered by staff while achieving desired, high-quality outcomes.
