ADOPT AN ORDINANCE CREATING A NEW ARTICLE OF CHAPTER 106
RELATING TO THE TAXATION OF ABANDONED URBAN PROPERTIES
Commissioner Thomas offered Motion, seconded by Commissioner Wilson, that the Board of
Commissioners introduce an Ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE CREATING A NEW
ARTICLE OF CHAPTER 106, TAXATION, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE
CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, RELATED TO ABANDONED URBAN PROPERTIES.”
This Ordinance is summarized as follows: This Ordinance would create a new tax category for
properties classified as “abandoned urban property” under Kentucky law. This tool, authorized
by KRS 92.305 and KRS 132.012, is intended to address long-term vacant and neglected
properties that create safety hazards and negatively affect neighborhoods. An "abandoned urban
property" means any vacant structure or vacant or unimproved lot or parcel of ground in a
predominantly developed urban area which has been vacant or unimproved for a period of at
least one (1) year and which:
a)Because it is dilapidated, unsanitary, unsafe, vermin-infested, or otherwise
dangerous to the safety of persons, it is unfit for its intended use;
December 9, 2025
b)By reason of neglect or lack of maintenance has become a place for the
accumulation of trash and debris, or has become infested with rodents or other
vermin;
c)Has been tax delinquent for a period of at least three (3) years;
d)Has had a methamphetamine contamination notice posted as provided in KRS
224.1-410 for a period of at least ninety (90) days, and the owner has neither
appealed the notice nor provided a certificate of decontamination during the
ninety (90) days; or
e)Is located within a development area established under KRS 65.7049, 65.7051, and
65.7053.
The Ordinance would apply a tax rate of $1.50 per $100 of assessed value to qualifying
properties. Further, the Fire Prevention Division shall adopt a policy for compiling the list of
Abandoned Urban Property. The Code Enforcement Board shall be responsible for reviewing
Fire Prevention’s recommended list each year and determining which properties legally meet the
definition of Abandoned Urban Property. The Code Enforcement Board will also hear and decide
all owner appeals, and its certified list shall become the official list used for applying the
Abandoned Urban Property Tax rate.
Adopted on call of the roll yeas, Commissioners Henderson, Smith, Thomas, Wilson and Mayor
Bray (5). (ORD. #2025-11-8863; BK 37).
ADOPT SOUTHSIDE REVITALIZATION PLAN HOUSING INCENTIVES
Commissioner Wilson offered Motion, seconded by Commissioner Thomas, that the Board of
Commissioners adopt an Ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE ABOLISHING ORDINANCE
NO. 2023-06-8782 AND ESTABLISHING AND APPROVING SIMPLIFIED SOUTHSIDE
INCENTIVES FOR HOMEOWNERS AND DEVELOPERS AND AUTHORIZING THE
DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND URBAN RENEWAL AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO ADMINISTER THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS AND
PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS FOR
IMPROVEMENTS, REPAIR, REMODEL, RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING HOMES
AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOMES TO SUPPORT THE SOUTHSIDE
REVITALIZATION PLAN.” This Ordinance is summarized as follows:
This Ordinance repeals the existing pilot Southside Housing and Business Incentive Grants and
their corresponding Ordinance and introduces the expanded Homeowner and Developer
Incentive Grants for new housing redevelopment and construction as part of the Southside
Revitalization Plan.
Adopted on call of the roll yeas, Commissioners Henderson, Smith, Thomas, Wilson and Mayor
Bray (5). (ORD. #2025-11-8864; BK 37).
ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION(S)
December 9, 2025
RENTAL OCCUPANCY ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Commissioner Henderson offered Motion, seconded by Commissioner Smith, that the Board of
Commissioners introduce an Ordinance entitled, “AMENDING SECTION 42 OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES RELATED TO RENTAL OCCUPANCY PERMITS AND
INSPECTIONS.” This Ordinance is summarized as follows: this Ordinance amends Chapter 42,
Article III, of the Code of Ordinances relating to Residential Rental Occupancy Permits. The
Amended Ordinance removes the definition for “ Nuisance and now instead includes a
”
definition for “ Safety Issue meaning conditions constituting distinct fire hazards or which
”
endanger the life, health, safety or welfare of others. The ordinance includes the addition of the
landlord and/or the landlord’s agent’s email address in the application for the Rental Occupancy
permit. The Amended Ordinance changes the time period in which an initial inspection shall
occur following application for a Rental Occupancy Permit from three to five business days. As
amended, the Ordinance will allow the Code Official to confer with engineers, building,
electrical, or fire inspectors as deemed necessary to determine compliance in any such area of
expertise. In addition, landlords shall attest that s/he includes in his/her lease agreement
provision(s) providing a mechanism under which the landlord and/or Code Official may enter the
premises with reasonable notice. As to revocation of a Rental Occupancy Permit for criminal
acts or nuisance, a provision is added permitting the Code Official to reference local law
enforcement or criminal records, as well as Final Orders related to nuisances, and adds that the
Code Official may take status of criminal proceedings into consideration such that a mere charge
may not automatically result in revocation. The Amended Ordinance provides that, unless
otherwise prohibited by law, an order that tenants vacate a rental dwelling due to denial,
suspension or revocation of a Rental Occupancy Permit, shall not otherwise prohibit the
occupation of the premises for purposes other than as a rental unit. A provision is added to
provide for a Certificate of Compliance for rental dwelling units which have no visible and
determinable violations of plumbing, electrical, building, or fire codes. A provision is also added
which allows for compliant rental dwelling units to be placed on a publicly available list of
compliant properties, advising prospective tenants that as of the last inspection, the subject
property was not noted to have any visible violations of the plumbing, electrical, building or fire
codes. Removal for the compliant properties list may result from condemnation, evacuation
under the fire code, three failed follow up inspections, and landlord’s refusal to permit entry for
inspection on two or more occasions. Tenant’s refusal to permit entry on one occasion shall not
subject the landlord from removal from the compliant properties list if the landlord provides
reasonable roof that landlord provided reasonable notice of the City’s inspection to tenant under
the terms of the lease or rental agreement. In setting a policy for the systemic inspection and
prioritization of all rental dwelling units, the Amended Ordinance clarifies that five or more code
violations and five reports of police calls for illegal drug offenses, prostitution, violent crimes, or
disorderly conduct may be factors in the system for prioritizing inspections. A provision is added
indicating that, absent exigent circumstances, nothing in the ordinance shall be interpreted to
override privacy protections afforded to tenants by law. Finally, the Amended Ordinance
removes a provision indicating that a valid occupancy permit must be produced prior to
establishment of utility service.

Brian,
See attached Revised Change Order #2.
This covers the conduit and wire from panel adjacent to downtown bathrooms to the
location of camera pole base plus all the items covered in the original Change Order #2.
The camera, equipment, and pole are the responsibility of the Paducah IT / police
department.
I was thinking of pouring the pole base with anchor bolt pattern configuration to match
future camera pole and install PVC junction box on top of base with enough wire to
reach top of pole. So when camera, equipment, and pole are installed power is in place
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

By: Lasica
McEwen
Background Information: The City Commission is being asked to certify that the Housing Authority of
Paducah’s federally required plans for Public Housing and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program are
consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan (referred to by the federal government as a “Consolidated
Plan”).
This action is a routine federal compliance certification confirming consistency between federally funded
housing programs and the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan. It ensures continued access to federal housing
assistance in the community and does not create any new policy, financial, or administrative obligations for the
City.
Even though the Housing Authority independently operates Public Housing and the Section 8 program, HUD
requires confirmation from the local jurisdiction that these activities align with the community’s broader
housing goals as adopted in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. HUD will not approve the Housing Authority’s
plans without this certification.
The Housing Authority held a public hearing on January 6, 2026, in accordance with federal requirements, to
receive resident and community input on the proposed plans.
