PRESENTATION
UPDATE FOR 4TH ANNUAL EVENING OF PERFORMANCE
Bernice Belt, member of Human Rights Commission, reminded everyone of the Annual
Evening of Performance event. It will be held at the Luther F. Carson Four Rivers
Performing Arts Center, May 21" from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
PAVILION DISMANTLE & RESTROOMS
Mark Thompson, Parks Services Director, made a recommendation that the pavilion be
dismantled by the end of May. According to the State, the pavilion (dome) can only be
erected for a period of six months. Since April is the most important month that it will be
utilized, Mr. Thompson is recommending the November through May time frame for
operation. One reason he wants to wait until November is because it will take at least a
couple of months for portable restrooms to be purchased and delivered. This time frame can
always be changed from year to year. The Commission agreed to dismantle it by the end of
the month.
RESTROOMS
Mr. Thompson recommended the sole source purchase of restrooms from Wells Cargo. They
are the only supplier nationwide that constructs their portable restroom units to lower to the
ground. Commission agreed to move ahead with his recommendation.
MAY 11, 2010
ORDINANCE — INTRODUCTION
PURCHASE OF PORTABLE RESTROOMS
Commissioner Gault offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Abraham, that the Board of
Commissioners introduce an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE
FINANCE DIRECTOR TO PAY FOR THE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF PORTABLE
RESTROOM TRAILERS FOR USE BY THE CITY OF PADUCAH." This ordinance is
summarized as follows: That the City of Paducah hereby authorizes the Finance Director to
make payment to Wells Cargo C.O.G., in the amount of $171,821.45, for purchase of three
self -lowering or kneeling model portable restroom trailers with one being ADA accessible.
PRESENTATIONS CONT.
PROPOSAL FOR MOUNTED POLICE
Sandra Deweese, member of the Carson Park Board, with the support of Chief Berry
proposed the City implement mounted police patrols. They could be used for patrol of the
Greenway Trail, during BBQ on the River, Downtown After Dinner, and many other events
where the height of the horse would be advantageous for the police to be able to see over a
crowd. The start up cost is approximately $23,900 for the first year and would decrease in
the following years. She has suggested having fundraisers to help with the cost and
recommending the program start with 2 horses. They can be stabled at Carson Park at no
charge. Horses, Inc., organization will help with their everyday care and will utilize the
horses for therapeutic riding for individuals with special needs when they are not in use by
the Police Department. Chief Berry believes this is another way of bringing the community
together. The Commission agreed to consider this proposal at the Commission's budget
advance.
"Mayor Paxton left the meeting.
FIRE DEPT. COST RECOVERY FOR INCIDENT RESPONSES
Fire Chief Steve Kyle along with Capt. Montgomery proposed the City establish an
ordinance to recover costs for fire department incident response to non-residents. Most of
the recovery potential would be from at -fault motor vehicle accidents. He is proposing this
idea for revenue due to budget pressures and increasing costs for response. Commissioner
Kaler asked for the Chief to come back to the Commission with more information before
moving forward with establishing these charges.
