(ORD 2026-04-8876; BK 37) DISCUSSION ITEMS: Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summary: Budget Discussion – General Fund Revenue Sources For the past several City Commission meetings, the Finance Department has been presenting updates on the development of the Fiscal Year 2026–2027 budget, which takes effect July 1, April 28, 2026 2026. At this meeting, Finance Director Audra Kyle provided an overview of anticipated General Fund revenues. The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. Kyle began by reviewing revenue sources for the current fiscal year. Approximately 82 percent of General Fund revenue for the current fiscal year comes from four primary sources: payroll tax ($20.9 million), insurance premium tax ($7.2 million), property tax ($6.734 million), and business licenses ($5.45 million). At this point in the fiscal year, property tax revenues are expected to exceed projections, while the other three sources are likely to come close to meeting their estimates. Final figures will not be available until the end of the current quarter. For the upcoming fiscal year, projected revenues are as follows: property tax is expected to increase to $7.1 million; business license revenue is projected to rise slightly to $5.75 million; insurance premium tax is expected to remain steady at $7.2 million; and payroll tax is projected to grow modestly by 3 percent to approximately $21.6 million. A chart presented during the meeting showed gradual revenue growth over the past several years. However, the chart also indicated that expenditures have been increasing at a faster rate, placing greater pressure on maintaining a balanced budget. At this stage of the budget process, the Finance Department has finalized revenue projections and completed budget reviews with individual departments. The Finance Department and the City Manager’s office are now working with the Paducah Board of Commissioners to finalize the budget while maintaining core services and fiscal responsibility. The Fiscal Year 2026–2027 budget is scheduled to be introduced at the May 26 City Commission meeting with adoption in June. Mental Health Awareness Month Communications Manager Pam Spencer and Human Resources Director Stefanie Wilcox highlighted mental health awareness initiatives, a priority of the Paducah Board of Commissioners since 2023. Spencer explained that the City aligns its efforts with Mental Health America (MHA), a leading nonprofit that promotes mental health awareness. MHA launched Mental Health Month in 1949. The 2026 theme, “More Good Days, Together,” emphasizes collective well-being and prevention. This year also marked Paducah’s first application for MHA’s Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health, a rigorous evaluation program launched in 2019 that assesses employers across workplace culture, benefits, compliance, and holistic wellness. Paducah earned a Gold Bell Seal designation with an overall score of 89, achieving perfect marks in workplace culture and strong results across other categories. The city plans to review areas for improvement while celebrating the recognition. Regarding external initiatives, the City will light City Hall green during May and continue to promote mental health awareness through social media campaigns and the promotion of the 9-8-8 crisis line. Internally, initiatives include employee engagement through awareness t-shirts, educational seminars including a new supervisor-focused session, and ongoing policy and benefits reviews to ensure continued support for employee mental health. April 28, 2026 COMMISSION COMMENTS Commission Thomas commented that he and Commissioner Henderson had recently attended the Kentucky Black Caucus (KBC) Spring Summit. EXECUTIVE SESSION Commissioner Henderson offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Smith, that the Board of Commissioners go into closed session for discussion of matters pertaining to the following topic:  Discussions of proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf of the public agency KRS 61.810(1)(c) Adopted on call of the roll yeas, Commissioners Henderson, Smith, Thomas, Wilson and Mayor Bray (5) RECONVENE IN OPEN SESSION Mayor Bray offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Wilson, that the Paducah Board of Commissioners reconvene in open session.

The goals of the text amendment are to expand the principal uses in the R-3 Zone to create a better bridge into the R-4 High Density Residential Zone, smaller lot sizes and widths to restore the pattern of historic neighborhoods such as the Southside and the Northside Historic District and to introduce corner stores which were once a hub of activity in higher-density zones.

CASE NO. TXT2025-0001 TITLES 126-104 Medium Density Residential Zone DESCRIPTION Text change to provide for: • Expanded principal uses for a better transition between the R-3 and R-4 Zones. • Smaller principally permitted lot size, which we hope will help facilitate development on the Southside of Paducah and also the Northside Historic District to an extent. • The introduction of corner stores, which were once the hub of activity for neighborhoods. The revitalization of corner stores is a nationwide planning activity taking place as planners have realized the importance of fostering community and place-making. This is another targeted approach to enhance Paducah’s Southside as well the Northside Historic District. STAFF REPORT (continued) page 2 of 11 STAFF REPORT (continued) page 3 of 11 th Street STAFF REPORT (continued) page 4 of 11 th Street STAFF REPORT (continued) page 5 of 11 STAFF REPORT (continued) page 6 of 11 Most lots in R-3 Zones, including on the Northside and Southside, are nonconforming in terms of lot size and/ or frontage. As of right now, lots must have 50’ of street frontage and a minimum of 8,000 square feet to be a conforming lot. Staff is proposing a minimum 40’ frontage and smaller lot area. This would help to remove nonconforming lots in the R-3 Zone. Further, this text amendment could help further the construction of “missing middle” housing. The City of Paducah/ McCracken County Comprehensive Plan, adopted in January of 2025, specifically states on page HN-11: Define and permit within the City and County zoning codes a range of “missing middle” housing options for each residential and mixed-use zoning district, including analysis of allowing smaller lot sizes (i.e. more units per acre), reduced setbacks and facilitation of other design elements where appropriate.” “Continue to explore zoning strategies and provisions for overcoming “nonconformities” that can stand in the way of beneficial use and re-use of property, including infill development and redevelopment activity. Nonconformities arise when a pre-existing condition does not comply with zoning regulations that were adopted or changed later, which is the case in various areas both inside Paducah and elsewhere in McCracken County. Aspects of a property that most commonly can end up nonconforming include its use; the size, width and/or depth of the lot; and the setback and/or height of buildings. The typical zoning framework prevents all nonconforming uses and buildings from expanding or being altered in certain ways, and nonconforming lots often cannot be built on feasibly. This approach usually locks nonconformities in place for the long term, sometimes contributing to disinvestment and blight. However, mechanisms can be incorporated into local zoning to address nonconformities directly and more selectively, move non-nuisance properties into legal compliance, and free their uses and structures to expand or evolve where appropriate. At the same time, the issues and concerns that led to contemporary regulations must still be respected, requiring a balance between neighborhood protection and methods for eliminating nonconformities with minimum adverse effects. Only the most noxious uses and the most problematic buildings should remain nonconforming, with the intent of removing them over time. Without such solutions for resolving lesser nonconformities, many communities are plagued by a raft of variance requests from property owners seeking regulatory relief. In turn, a community’s land use and zoning objectives can be undermined if an overly sympathetic board of adjustment approves variances profusely.” STAFF REPORT (continued) page 7 of 11 Therefore, this proposed text amendment would be in accordance with three adopted regulatory documents, specifically the City of Paducah/ McCracken County Comprehensive Plan, The Board of Commissioner’s Priorities and the Southside Revitalization Plan.
