Short Title: Authorize interlocal agreement between the City and Paducah-McCracken Industrial

Category: Ordinance

Background Information:
MO 3088, adopted on July 22, 2025, authorized the City to serve as the grantee for the Kentucky Product
Development Initiative (KPDI) grant for a speculative industrial building to be constructed at 5800 Commerce
Drive in Industrial Park West. The municipal order also authorized the City to provide up to $6 million in local
funds upon approval of Economic Development Fund (EDF) assistance through the Kentucky Economic
Development Finance Authority (KEDFA).
The City has since been awarded a $2,000,000 KPDI grant, with the Paducah-McCracken County Industrial
Development Authority (IDA) serving as the project beneficiary. The total estimated project cost is $8,000,000.
Because the City is the grant recipient and funding partner while the IDA will serve as the project manager,
developer, and owner of the facility, an Interlocal Agreement is necessary to define the responsibilities of each
party. This Municipal Order authorizes execution of that agreement, which establishes the framework for
project management, procurement, reimbursement procedures, compliance with KPDI requirements, the City's
funding commitment and repayment provisions, and other related project responsibilities.

directed to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement on behalf of the City, substantially in the

Short Title: Amend Chapter 78 Personnel Ordinance to Remove Retiree Life Insurance Benefit - S.
WILCOX
Category: Ordinance
Staff Work
By: Stefanie
Wilcox
Presentation
By: Stefanie
Wilcox
Background Information: The Chapter 78 Personnel Ordinance is being amended to eliminate the retiree
life insurance benefit effective September 1, 2026.
For many years, the City provided retirees with access to life insurance coverage through an insurance carrier at
a discounted rate. In 2024, the City's insurance carrier discontinued this coverage, requiring the City to self-
insure the benefit. Since that time, the cost of providing the benefit has increased to a level that is no longer
financially sustainable.
Accordingly, the retiree life insurance benefit was removed from all collective bargaining agreements effective
July 1, 2026, and this ordinance amendment aligns the Personnel Ordinance with those changes.
Current participants and employees who retire before the September 1, 2026, effective date will be
grandfathered into the program and will continue to receive the benefit.
