CITY MANAGER REPORT
• Dates for City/County Joint Meeting to discuss airport finances and operations
• River Heritage Museum Request for $25,000 — Mayor Paxton informed the
Commission that upon their consensus he was going to prepare a letter to the
River Heritage Museum committing the City to contributing $25,000 for
renovations in FY2008. Commission agreed for the Mayor to proceed with the
letter.
MARCH 27, 2007
• HVAC @ Commerce Center — The City is preparing to rebid the project. The
City Manager received a phone call from Phil McIntosh, President of the
Chamber of Commerce Board, advising that his staff had reviewed the
specifications and recommends the City require in the specifications a 3 boiler
unit. Unless otherwise instructed by the Commission the bid package will be
based on lowest price, decision on price and as a 3 boiler unit.
• WWII Monument —. Veteran Leon Dodge along with the other veterans who
made the request for funds from the City for the monument wants to have the
monument placed on the 5th Street side of Dolly McNutt Plaza. The Mayor
suggested the Commission form a committee consisting of a member of Civic
Beautification, City Commission, and/or Fiscal Court, etc. This is just an idea
but thinks the City definitely needs a policy/plan for future placement of
monuments due to the monuments the City has now being in several different
areas throughout the City. After discussion between the veterans and the Board,
everyone agreed to the formation of a committee and to move forward as quickly
as possible. Commissioner Kaler requested to be placed on the committee.
BARS CHANGING CLOSING TIME FROM 3:00 A.M. TO 1:00 A.M
Mayor Paxton explained that last week during the Commission Advance (discussion time
for the Commission and staff) the topic was brought up to change the closing time for
bars from 3:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Mayor Paxton called on Commissioner Watkins to
make some comments. After considerable feedback for and against the topic and due to
the smoking ban going into effect on April 1St Commissioner Watkins has decided to
withdraw his proposal for the change of time. His concern is for the safety of the public
and does feel there is a problem with drunk drivers between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00
a.m. He would like for the City to adopt an ordinance mandating training for servers. He
doesn't have the solutions to the problem but would like input from the public on how to
make Paducah safer.
Andrea Rodriguez, Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist, of the Regional Prevention
Center of Four Rivers Behavioral Health, explained the beverage server alcohol training
regulations called S.T.A.R. (Server Training in Alcohol Regulations) that other cities
have adopted. This could be a preventive tool the City could impose.
Mayor Paxton does think the City needs to look into training as maybe one of the
solutions and asked if Commissioner Watkins would like to chair a committee that would
look into finding other solutions. He asked the people that were here to speak against the
change in hours to get with Commissioner Watkins and help him with ideas to help with
this problem. Note: Complaint from a server attending is the time it takes for someone
who has been drinking to get a safe ride from PATS. The length of time once a call is
placed for pickup is approximately 45 minutes to
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
