INVOCATION

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The Mayor led the pledge.
PRESENTATIONS:
Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summary:
Greenway Trail Southside Extension
Russell Clark with the National Park Service congratulated the community for successfully
developing a plan to expand bike lanes and greenway trails in Paducah. The project’s goals
include connecting neighborhoods, encouraging active transportation, promoting Paducah as a
destination, and implementing complete streets that improve safety and bolster economic
development.
In June 2023, the City accepted the National Park Service – River, Trails, and Conversation
Assistance Program Technical Assistance Grant. Through this grant, National Park Service staff
has been assisting the City with the creation of a master plan to extend the Greenway Trail,
gather input for an urban bike loop plan, and prepare for a future application to become a
designated Kentucky Trail Town. After two years of public feedback through focus groups,
public meetings, surveys, and steering committee input, a plan is ready to be shared. The
community survey feedback included that safety is the biggest priority (50 percent of
respondents) and that comfort and conveniences (restrooms, drinking fountains, and shade trees)
are important along the trail.
The initial phase includes adding routes of varying lengths from the riverfront to Bridge Street.
To begin that phase, the Paducah Board of Commissioners approved a Municipal Order
authorizing a request for qualifications for the design and engineering of the Greenway Trail
Southside Expansion. Austin Hart with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced that last
month a project was awarded to Jim Smith Contracting to perform a lane diet on Kentucky
rdth
Avenue from 3 Street to 28 Street. Instead of the current four-lane roadway, Kentucky Avenue
will be converted into a three-lane roadway (two driving lanes with a center lane) and bike lanes.
Hart expects that project to begin next year.
The second phase of the project would improve Irvin Cobb Drive from Bridge Street to Wayne
Sullivan Drive as a “complete street” with a multi-use path on the north side of the road to
August 12, 2025
provide a greenway segment parallel to the roadway. Future expansions could be regional. Clark
said that he will be meeting next month regarding a Regional Trails Initiative through the
Purchase Area Development District.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Bonnie Koblitz (County resident) voiced concerns about the lack of public input during
the decisions being made at the former USEC site*
Mayor Bray commented that the reindustrialization of the former USEC Site has been
discussed extensively; however, the recently announced project was driven by the
President and it happened very quickly – which didn’t leave time for public input.
Michael Muscarella commended the City Commission for taking initiative to improve the
well-being of Paducah citizens (Greenway Trail, homelessness, warming center, etc) and
supports the expansion of the Southside Greenway Trail.
MAYORS REMARKS:
’
Mayor Bray also expressed his concern regarding the tragic incident that occurred during
th
the 8 of August Celebration. He also remarked that this incident was NOT a part of the
planned celebration itself. The investigation is ongoing and the City is considering their
options to prevent something like that from happening again.
Expressed Congratulations to Commissioner Wilson and the entire Chamber team for
being recognized as Chamber of the Year.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Bray asked if the Board wanted any items on the Consent Agenda removed for
separate consideration. Commissioner Thomas requested that Item I(G) be removed for

DISCUSSION
Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summary:
Golf Carts and Street-Legal Special Purpose Vehicles Discussion
Police Chief Brian Laird and City Clerk and Director of Customer Experience Lindsay Parish
provided an overview of golf cart and street-legal special purpose vehicle requirements as
outlined in their respective KRS chapters, KRS 189.286 and 186.077. These types of vehicles are
prohibited on roadways unless certain conditions are met. However, local governments can opt
in to permit these vehicles to operate on roadways by adopting ordinances.
This topic has come to the surface for many cities across Kentucky since during the 2025
Legislative Session, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 63 which created the new section
of KRS Chapter 186 allowing street-legal special purpose vehicles to operate on roadways
provided that certain conditions are met. That bill went into effect on June 27. The legislation
defines a street-legal special purpose vehicle as an all-terrain vehicle (ATVs), utility terrain
vehicle (UTVs), minitruck, pneumatic-tired military vehicle, or full-size special purpose-built
vehicle (including self-constructed or modified vehicles) that meets specific equipment
requirements.
Parish provided various crash statistics including there are approximately 15,000 golf cart-related
injuries each year nationally and approximately 40 percent of those involve children under the
age of 16. Chief Laird added that the number one contributing factor to vehicular collisions in
Paducah is inattention. In 2024, there were 1747 traffic collisions with 290 of those collisions
resulting in injuries.
In a review of several Kentucky cities, Parish found that Calvert City permits special purpose
August 12, 2025
vehicles. Several cities permit golf carts including Frankfort, Bowling Green, Calvert City, and
Cadiz. Parish also outlined the various policy considerations that would need to be determined if
Paducah decided to move forward with permitting golf carts and/or street-legal special purpose
vehicles. Policy considerations include the process for selecting which streets would be
permitted, implementation process for local permitting, times for use, underage driving
considerations, and restricted areas.
The Paducah Board of Commissioners is interested in determining the best way to move forward
in permitting golf carts in Paducah but not special purpose vehicles.

threshold of $3,500,000 for the City’s business license tax, which has not been adjusted
for inflation since its adoption nearly forty years ago;
WHEREAS, maintaining an outdated threshold has resulted in an
increasing share of local businesses being subject to the excess receipts rate, contrary to
the original legislative intent of providing a reasonable exemption level;
WHEREAS, staff analysis demonstrates that adjusting the threshold to
reflect current-dollar values, phased in over a five-year period, will restore equity to the
business license tax system while avoiding sudden fiscal disruption;
WHEREAS, beginning in Year 6 and each year thereafter, the threshold
will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rounded to the
nearest $10,000, with discretion for the City Commission to defer implementation of such
adjustment in any given year;
WHEREAS, an increase from $35.00 to $50.00 in the minimum annual
license tax is necessary to maintain fairness, account for inflation, and ensure a
sustainable revenue base;
WHEREAS, the City Commission finds it in the public interest to amend
Chapter 106 of the Code of Ordinances to update the gross receipts threshold, establish a
process for annual CPI adjustments, and increase the minimum annual license tax;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PADUCAH AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That Section 106-101, General license tax schedule;

according to the classifications that apply to the business which the business entity
conducts in the City at each business entity location, subject to the minimum annual
license tax as defined in subsection (b) (d) of this section. The annual license tax shall be
computed in accordance with the following rate schedules:
The amount of tax payable under Schedule A shall be determined by multiplying the
business entity location's \[-taxable gross receipts up to $3,500,000.00-\] taxable gross
receipts up to the applicable phased-in threshold amount times 0.00045 and multiplying
all gross receipts in excess of the threshold times 0.00005.
The amount of tax payable under Schedule B shall be determined by multiplying the
business entity location's \[-taxable gross receipts up to $3,500,000.00-\] taxable gross
receipts up to the applicable phased-in threshold amount times 0.00075 and multiplying
all gross receipts in excess of the threshold times 0.00005.
The amount of tax payable under Schedule C shall be determined by multiplying the
business entity location's \[-taxable gross receipts up to $3,500,000.00-\] taxable gross
receipts up to the applicable phased-in threshold amount times 0.0015 and multiplying all
gross receipts in excess of the threshold times 0.00005.
The amount of tax payable under Schedule D shall be determined by multiplying the
business entity location's \[-taxable gross receipts up to $3,500,000.00-\] taxable gross
receipts up to the applicable phased-in threshold amount times 0.003 and multiplying all
gross receipts in excess of the threshold times 0.00005.
The amount of tax payable under Schedule E shall be determined by multiplying the
business entity location's \[-taxable gross receipts up to $3,500,000.00-\] taxable gross
receipts up to the applicable phased-in threshold amount times 0.0045 and multiplying all
gross receipts in excess of the threshold times 0.00005.

business entity location's \[-taxable gross receipts up to $3,500,000.00-\] taxable gross
receipts up to the applicable phased-in threshold amount times 0.005 and multiplying all
gross receipts in excess of the threshold times 0.00005.
B. Phased-In Threshold Adjustment. The threshold amount shall be increased from
$3,500,000.00 to $11,650,000.00 over a five-year period as follows, with Year 1
beginning on January 1, 2026:
Year 1: $5,130,000
Year 2: $6,760,000
Year 3: $8,390,000
Year 4: $10,020,000

C. CPI Adjustment. Beginning in Year 6 and each year thereafter, the threshold shall be
adjusted annually based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U), South, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In
any year where the CPI registers a decrease, the threshold amount shall remain
unchanged. In years where the CPI registers an increase, the threshold amount shall be
adjusted upward and rounded to the nearest $10,000. The City Commission reserves the
right to forego the implementation of a CPI-based adjustment in any given year.
D. (b) The minimum annual license tax for each classification shall be \[$35.00\] $50.00,
except as otherwise provided. Any minimum annual license tax paid by a business entity
shall be credited against the annual license tax owed for that period.
SECTION 2. The provisions of this Ordinance are hereby declared to be severable,
and if any section, phrase or provision shall for any reason be declared invalid, such
declaration of invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3. All prior resolutions, municipal orders or ordinances or parts of any
resolution, municipal order or ordinance in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
