bigger cities than Paducah. Ms. Hill said there are 8 drivers right now but expect to have at least

COMMENTS
COMMENTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
CURBSIDE RECYCLING PRESENTATION
City Manager Jeff Pederson and Assistant to the City Manager Michelle Smolen gave a
presentation regarding curbside recycling. Details of the report are provided below in an excerpt
from the City Commission Highlights prepared by Pam Spencer, Public Information Officer. (A
copy of the powerpoint is included in the Minute file.)
"Curbside Recycling Presentation
City Manager Jeff Pederson, with the assistance of Assistant to the City Manager Michelle
Smolen, Public Information Officer Pam Spencer, City Engineer & Public Works Director Rick
Murphy, and Assistant Public Works Director Chris Yarber, led the Paducah Board of
Commissioners through a presentation and discussion regarding the implementation of curbside
recycling in Paducah. This program is targeted to start in January 2018. Pederson said, "It's
accurate to say the interest in doing this is for environmental reasons. We are not under any State
mandates, that I'm aware of, to do source reduction. We do not have a landfill that we are wanting
to preserve space in. So we are doing it for reasons other than regulatory."
Smolen said, "The City of Paducah is committed to providing a responsible and efficient curbside
recycling program that enables our community to make a positive impact on the
environment." Smolen also said the keys to the program's success will be public participation and
the efficiencies gained in the Engineering -Public Works Department through changes in programs
such as the brush collection program.
The presentation focused on several assumptions for program development. The program would
be for residential service only, and subscription would be voluntary. It would require a fee in the
range of $3 to $5 per month per subscriber. The fee is due to the need to purchase rollout
containers for recycling and due to the fact that the disposal of recyclable materials is, at this time,
$5.18 more per ton than the disposal of solid waste. Another program component is that the
collection of recyclables would be curbside/roadside only with no collection in alleys. The City
plans to use royal blue 96 -gallon rollout containers. Collection also would be either twice per
month or every other week per subscriber.
The development of this curbside recycling program relies, in part, on efficiencies found in the
Solid Waste Division through a restructuring of the brush and yard waste collection program. The
City is proposing a call-in request system with brush collection based upon a minimum volume of
material to be collected. Also, residents will be required to manage their yard waste/grass clipping
at the household level.
After the presentation, the Paducah Board of Commissioners approve a motion directing the City
Manager to oversee the development of a curbside recycling program in Paducah based on the
program assumptions as presented at this meeting.
Over the next few weeks, staff will be working on the operational plan and policy changes to
implement curbside recycling and creating the public education campaign to inform the citizens of
the recycling program and the changes to the brush and yard waste collection program. The
program specifics will be presented at the October 10 City Commission meeting. "
MOTION
CURBSIDE RECYCLING
Mayor Harless offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Abraham, that the Paducah Board of
Commissioners direct the City Manager to oversee the development of a curbside recycling
program in the City of Paducah as presented.
Adopted on call of the roll, yeas, Commissioners Abraham, Holland, Rhodes, Wilson and Mayor
Harless (5).
COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

trip. Mayor Harless and Commissioner Holland also attended the event. They were able to meet
with United States Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, United States Secretary of
Department of Energy, and all United States representatives from Kentucky. It was a very

COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE
Mayor Harless opened the public comments portion of the City Commission meeting by
thanking everyone in attendance and the viewing audience for having hard cordial conversations
about a very difficult topic regarding the removal of the General Lloyd Tilghman confederate
statue located in Lang Park in the Fountain Avenue neighborhood. She hopes conversations held
tonight will be very dignified and respectful. Bob Johnston, Michael Swinford, John T. Suttles,
Craig Cain, Haydon (Corky) Bloodworth and Dawn S. Smith gave their differing opinions.
Commissioners listened to the speakers for over an hour and then gave their remarks. A
decision was not made on how to handle the situation. Mayor Harless again thanked everyone
for their comments and asked everyone when they left to ask themselves this question, "How can
I understand what racism looks like in 20177
