PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

PRESENTATION
COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Dr. Veazey, President of WKCTC, Dwain Tucker, Rotary Club Task Force and Ken
Wheeler, Board Member -Paducah Junior College, proposed a Community Scholarship
Program that is being established by the Rotary Club Task Force. The program will
establish criteria for graduating students from high schools in the Paducah -McCracken
County area to have their tuition paid for up to two years to attend Western Kentucky
Community and Technical College. The goals of the program are to encourage students
to complete high school, increase enrollment at WKCTC and to help the students attain
skill certifications or associate degrees. For this program to succeed it will be necessary
for the Task Force to form a community partnership with WKCTC, Paducah -McCracken
County schools, local governments, local foundations, local businesses and any
individuals who are wanting to participate. Funding for the program will be about
$500,000 per year- 50% by local governments- 50% by private sector. Mr.Tucker asked
the Board to consider becoming a partner by providing funds in the amount of $125,000,
either from this year's budget or next year's budget. The County will also be asked to
commit $125,000. Mr. Tucker said there would not be any request for disbursement of
funds until the Task Force knows they have enough money to get started.
Bill Black, Jr., member of the Paducah Independent School Board, spoke in favor of this
program.
The Board is very supportive of the Community Scholarship Program and wants to
participate. The City Manager suggested a resolution be adopted at the next meeting
showing support and that the Board will include that item in the Investment Fund budget
for FY2011.
MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY "FILL THE BOOT"
Lorie Dobbs and Courtney Stone of the MDA Association located in Cape Girardeau,

the last 10 years.

CITY MANAGER REPORT
❖ Calendar Items
❖ City Manager requested an Executive Session for discussion of collective
bargaining and economic development
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Jim Anderson, resident at 3217 Jefferson Street, presented a petition from the residents in
the 3200 block of Jefferson Street protesting the change from trash pickup in the alley to
curbside pickup. A copy will be received and filed.
Solid Waste Superintendent Mike Orenduff explained that the change was necessary due
to it being unsafe for the drivers when exiting the alley. Drainage in the alley is also a
problem.
The Commission expressed its appreciation to the residents for wanting to keep their area
beautiful but because curbside pickup is the best choice for the City the trash pickup for
the area will continue to be picked up at the curb.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
