Bacicarot.tnd Information:
A follow-up to the citizen survey that was conducted was the establishment of a committee to
examine the city's role in economic development. The development of this order was the
outcome from the committee discussions. The city uses, among oilier statutes, ordinances and
policies, ivlunicipal Order 1714 to establish thresholds for the use of incentives used by the City
tlu-ough its partner agency, Paducah Economic Development. It was passed in March of 2013. It
replaced a previous order that directed much of the same policy. The existing order is rather
minimal in nature. This municipal order seeks to bring greater definition to the appropriate use of
incentives and a more logical process for evaluating prospects.

BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF PADUCAH AND MCCRACKEN COUNTY
WHEREAS, Paducah, Kentucky is a wonderful place to live and do business with thousands of
businesses employing 37,000 people. With its pro-business attitude, abundant productive workforce,
optimal geographic location along Interstate 24, and its reputation as the hub of the inland waterway
system makes Paducah and McCracken County an ideal place for business investment; and
WHEREAS, with the McCracken County per capita income being 21% lower than the average for
Kentucky and the median household income being 31% lower than the State, Paducah seeks to improve
quality of life by increasing the income of its residents; and
WHEREAS, with the rate of poverty in Paducah being 24.1%, tivhich exceeds the state average by
2% and the national average by 34%, The City of Paducah seeks to reduce the rate of poverty through
purposeful investment in job creation; and
WHEREAS, Paducah experienced a 9% decrease in population in Paducah between 1980 and
2010 is deemed to be unacceptable; and
WHEREAS, the vitality of the city and its ability to foster long term sustainability is dependent
upon growth in industry and businesses through expansion, with the resulting increase in job
opportunities and tax base for the funding of public services;
WHEREAS, Cities and counties across the Commonwealth and the United States actively create,
operate, and fund organizations whose principal charge is to assist with growing local industry as well as
to recruit new industries to their jurisdictions. The City of Paducah allocates significant resources to the
work of Paducah Economic Development for that purpose; and
WHEREAS, the intense competition amongst political jurisdictions to attract and retain business
demands that the City of Paducah and its economic development partners strategically employ methods
and resources to attain success in the aforementioned areas;
WHEREAS, Measures for determining the quality of a business prospect should minimally be job
creation and retention, capital investment, economic outputs, and the increase of the tax base; and

from low skill, low paid jobs to higher skilled, better paid jobs. The City Commission desires to support

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDERED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF PADUCAH:
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to establish the official pDlicy and procedures of the City for
the granting of economic development incentives and infrastructure assistance associated
with projects within the city. The City of Paducah considers creation of adequately paid jobs
for the citizens of Paducah and the expansion of the tax base to be a fundamental
governmental interest. The City's objective is to enhancethe quality of life for its citizens by
seeking employers who will establish new, or expanded, qualified projects within the City of
Paducah or McCracken County. The City finds that such economic incentives fulfill a valid
public purpose.
II. POLICY
To encourage economic development, business expansion, and job creation, the use of
financial assistance will be used to further the city's goal of population growth, long-term
economic growth and employment opportunities for its citizens. To achieve its objective,
the City will, on a case by case basis, provide economic incentives as an inducement for
qualified economic development. To achieve the City's goal of long-term economic growth,
the selective use of incentives will be targeted toward businesses meeting the objectives
defined below. It will be the policy of the City to reserve its highest incentives for projects
that combine the best attributes of the expansion or creation of skilled jobs, pay and
benefits, and capital investment. While the City recognizes the potential significance of
including loans and grants in this Policy, it is recognized and understood that such will be
available only upon determination that financial prioritiesand resources permit their use.
III. OBJECTIVES
The City's primary role in promoting the economic vitality of Paducah is to provide effective,
efficient and economical core municipal services that benefit residents and businesses alike.
The City's role in economic development programing is to provide an annual operating
appropriation to assist Paducah Economic Development (PED) in staffing, marketing and
general operations.
The City of Paducah, through PED, seeks to selectively recruit business and industries that
economically advances the interest of the entire community. The City will support strategies
that:
• Assist the expansion of existing businesses i;adustries,
• Assist new business start-ups,
• Recruit targeted companies from out-of-state,
Page 12
• Recruit industries that employ high skill jobs,
• Retains business and industries that pay well and employ skilled jobs,
• Encourage and reward businesses seeking to locate or expand here to display
good corporate citizenship by supporting the Chamber of Commerce, the PED,
and local civic or philanthropic organizations.
IV. CRITERIA FOR ECONOMIC INCENTIVES

designing appropriate incentives. Therefore, the offering of an incentive, or combinations
thereof, will be customized on a case by case basis.

In March of 2014, Pepsi MidAmerica was awarded exclusive beverage service with all facilities under the
jurisdiction of Paducah Parks Services for seven years. With that award ar anount up to $32,558.26 was set
aside by Pepsi for purchase of scoreboards at various facilities over the Izngth of the contract. Pepsi
MidAmerica purchases a number of scoreboards each year from Sportable Scoreboards of Murray. It has been
determined that there is a substantial discount in a better grade scoreboards if Pepsi MidAmerica is allowed to
purchase them directly and give them to the City for installation. Therefore I am asking for a reduction of
$18,307.79 in the amount to be contributed by Pepsi MidAmerica over the term of the contract. This amount
will be paid directly to Sportable Scoreboards of Murray for the purchasz of the fust six scoreboards. These
scoreboards will be donated to the City by Pepsi for Noble Park and Paducah Recreation Center.
The synopsis of the seven-year proposal by Pepsi for exclusive beverage reading rights for City parks programs
and facilities shall be as follows:
1. Donation of 6 scoreboards with a total value of $18,307.79
2. A cash contribution of $14,250.47 to be paid over the term of the ccntract for scoreboard and signage,
upgrade, and installation.
3. Pay to the City $3,000 annually for program sponsorship
The total cash contribution remaining owed by Pepsi under the contract will be 535,250.47.
