("Attorneys"), and such other firms as may be necessary, to represent the City to pursue
damages incurred as a result of the illegal sale distribution and marketing of opioids and

Background Information:
Required annually, this Administrative Plan outlines how the Housing Choice Voucher program,
commonly known as Section 81 is to operate. While the majority of the program's regulations are
established by HUD, a few local preferences can be made, however these elements must be
founded in the Administrative Plan. Current FMR and adjusted Utility Allowances are also
included.
Local preferences include continued participation in the HUD -Veterans Affairs Supportive
Housing (HUD-VASH) program, and continued promotion of both the Scholar House and the
Merryman House Initiative. To strengthen the HUD- VASH relationship, a change in this year's
plan includes acceptance as a valid form of income verification for VASH participants the
Housing Inquiry statement (HINQ) as provided by our partner VA office. In addition, the plan
also allows for any applicant's assets, up to $S, 000. 00, to be self -verified with a self -declaration
statement. These two changes will significantly ease the document burden of many applicants,
particularly veterans and those coming out of homelessness.
Paralleling the preferences of previous years, the 2018 plan gives local preference to recent
victims of domestic violence, full-time students, families displaced by a federally -declared
disaster, workingfamilies, disabled and elderly households. Also a local customization, the 2018
plan continues to require a minimum payment by the tenant of at least $50.00.
A public hearing for this Administrative Plan was advertised and held on March 6, 2018. No
comments were received.

2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 5/1/2018
INTRODUCTION vaae 5
INTRODUCTION
Our goal is to provide in Paducah -McCracken County decent, safe and sanitary rental housing for
eligible families and to provide opportunities, promote self-sufficiency and economic independence for
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), also known as Section 8, program participants.
To achieve this mission, we will:
• Recognize residents as our ultimate customer
• Through effective and efficient management
• Seek problem -solving partnerships with residents, landlords, community and government
leadership
The purpose of this administrative plan is to establish guidelines for staff to follow in determining
eligibility for Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) programs. The basic guideline for this plan is
governed by the requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with
latitude for local policies and
procedures. The policies and
procedures governing "° 510^
�z
admissions and continued
occupancy are outlined in the �`= Massao
plan and these requirements P°P°
are binding upon applicants, E
residents, landlords and this {
Public Housing Agency (PHA),
known as the Paducah
Section 8 Housing`'
office. f, Pa?d cYh
Notwithstanding the above, Ballard --
changes in applicable federal
LIvInasl°°
law or regulations shall
supersede provisions in
p p
conflict with this policy.
Federal Regulations shall
mean those found in Section
24 CFR (Code of Federal
Regulations).
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program overview
In the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, the PHA pays monthly rental subsidies so that
eligible families can afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing. HUD provides housing assistance
funds to the PHA and funds the PHA to administer the program.
Under the HCV tenant -based program, families select and rent units that meet program housing
quality standards (HQS). If the PHA approves a family's unit and tenancy, the PHA contracts with the
owner to make rent subsidy payments (housing assistance payments) (HAP) directly to the owner on
behalf of the family, on a monthly basis. The family enters into a lease with the owner and pays its
share of the rent to the owner in accordance with the lease.
The HAP contract between the PHA and the owner covers only a single unit and a specific assisted
family. If the family moves out of the leased unit, the HAP contract with the owner terminates. The
family may generally move to another unit with continued assistance, so long as the family is
complying with program requirements.

13. Violence Against Women (VAWA) and Department of Justice Reauthorization
Act of 2005
On January 5, 2006, President Bush signed into law the "Violence Against Women and
Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-162). The law became
effective that same day. In addition to reauthorizing many programs at the Department of Justice,
2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 5/1/2018
Part 1. ELIGIBILITYAND OBLIGATIONS na_ae 10
the bill reauthorizes and expands provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which
was originally enacted in 1994.
The law defines domestic violence as "felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a
current or former spouse of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in
common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse, by a
person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of
the jurisdiction receiving grant monies, or by any other adult person against a victim who is
protected from that person's acts under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction
receiving grant monies." Dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking are included in the definition
of domestic violence.
The most significant affect the law has on Section 8 participants and applicants for rental
assistance is that an individual's status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault or stalking is NOT an appropriate basis for denial of assisted housing. The new law does
NOT change existing eligibility and continuing occupancy requirements.
Domestic Violence victims must still otherwise qualify for admission to and continuing participation
in assisted housing programs.
This PHA, Paducah Section 8 office, is committed to these victims, as well as members of their
immediate family, and to compliance with the VAWA law and will expand the applicant preference
include victims of dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The PHA will require a certification
as to the incident(s). See FORM HUD -5382.
This PHA, Paducah Section 8 office, shall keep all information and certification (s) obtained by the
PHA about a victim's status confidential. The information will not be entered into any shared
database or provided to any related entity. However, the PHA may disclose the information if the
victim requests or consents to the disclosure in writing; the information is required for use in
termination proceedings related to whether the incident or incidents in question qualify as a
serious or repeated violation of the lease or criminal activity directly relating to domestic violence,
dating violence or stalking; or is otherwise required by law.
The following offenses are grounds for denial or termination of assistance for applicant/participant:
a. Criminal activity directly relating to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking, engaged in by a member of a tenant's household or any guest or other person under
the tenant's control, shall not be cause for termination of the tenancy or occupancy rights, if
the tenant or immediate member of the tenant's family is a victim of that domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault or stalking;
b. Notwithstanding subparagraph a above, a PHA or owner under this section may bifurcate a
lease under this section, in order to evict, remove, or terminate assistance to any individual
who is a tenant or lawful occupant and who engages in criminal acts of physical violence
against family members or others, without evicting, removing, terminating assistance to, or
otherwise penalizing the victim of such violence who is also a tenant or lawful occupant;
c. Nothing in subparagraph a may be construed to limit the authority of a PHA or owner, when
notified, to honor court orders addressing rights of access to or control of the property,
including civil protection orders issued to protect the victim and issued to address the
distribution or possession of property among the household members in cases where a family
breaks up;
d. Nothing in subparagraph a limits any otherwise available authority of a PHA to terminate
participant assistance for any violation of a lease not premised on the act or acts of violence in
question against the tenant or a member of the tenant's household, provided that the PHA
does not subject an individual who is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, or stalking to a more demanding standard than other tenants in
determining whether to evict or terminate;

Partl. ELIGIBILITYAND OBLIGATIONS nage 11
e. Nothing in paragraph a may be construed to limit the authority of a PHA or owner to terminate
the tenancy of any tenant if the PHA or owner can demonstrate an actual and imminent threat
to other tenants or those employed at or providing service to the property if that tenant's
tenancy is not terminated; and
f. Nothing is this section shall be construed to supersede any provision of any Federal, State, or
local law that provides greater protection than this section for victims of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
g. The PHA shall not terminate or refuse to renew the voucher due to an incident or incidents of
actual or threatened domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. These incidents will not be
construed as a serious or repeated violation of the Housing Choice Voucher program by the
victim or threatened victim of that violence and will not be good cause for terminating the
Voucher of the victim of such violence.

SEXUAL ASSAULT, OR STALKING,
AND ALTERNATE U.S. Department of Housing OMB APPROVAL No. 2577-0286
DOCUMENTATION and Urban Development ExP 06/30/2017
Purpose of Form: The Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") protects applicants, tenants, and
program participants in certain HUD programs from being evicted, denied housing assistance, or
terminated from housing assistance based on acts of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking against them. Despite the name of this law, VAWA protection is available to
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, regardless of sex, gender
identity, or sexual orientation.
Use of This Optional Form: If you are seeking VAWA protections from your housing provider,
your housing provider may give you a written request that asks you to submit documentation about
the incident or incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
In response to this request, you or someone on your behalf may complete this optional form and
submit it to your housing provider, or you may submit one of the following types of third -party
documentation:
(1) A document signed by you and an employee, agent, or volunteer of a victim service provider, an
attorney, or medical professional, or a mental health professional (collectively, "professional")
from whom you have sought assistance relating to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking, or the effects of abuse. The document must specify, under penalty of perjury,
that the professional believes the incident or incidents of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, or stalking occurred and meet the definition of "domestic violence," "dating
violence," "sexual assault," or "stalking" in HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 5.2003.
(2) A record of a Federal, State, tribal, territorial or local law enforcement agency, court, or
administrative agency; or
(3) At the discretion of the housing provider, a statement or other evidence provided by the applicant
or tenant.
Submission of Documentation: The time period to submit documentation is 14 business days
from the date that you receive a written request from your housing provider asking that you provide
documentation of the occurrence of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Your housing provider may, but is not required to, extend the time period to submit the
documentation, if you request an extension of the time period. If the requested information is not
received within 14 business days of when you received the request for the documentation, or any
extension of the date provided by your housing provider, your housing provider does not need to
grant you any of the VAWA protections. Distribution or issuance of this form does not serve as a
written request for certification.
Confidentiality: All information provided to your housing provider concerning the incident(s) of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking shall be kept confidential and such
details shall not be entered into any shared database. Employees of your housing provider are not
to have access to these details unless to grant or deny VAWA protections to you, and such
employees may not disclose this information to any other entity or individual, except to the extent
that disclosure is: (i) consented to by you in writing in a time-limited release; (ii) required for use in
an eviction proceeding or hearing regarding termination of assistance; or (iii) otherwise required by
applicable law.

Part H. HOUSING STANDARDS AND INSPECTIONS page 14
Part II. HOUSING STANDARDS AND INSPECTIONS
1. Housing Quality Standards and Inspection Procedures
Each housing unit occupied by an assisted participant under this Program must meet Housing Quality
Standards. This will be determined by the use of HUD Inspection Form 52580.
An inspection will be performed on each prospective unit within 15 calendar days following request,
unless extenuating circumstances are present. The Paducah Section 8 office shall inspect assisted
dwelling units under contract not less than biennially if the unit passed its inspection without a revisit.
If the unit has failed an inspection, the Paducah Section 8 office may inspect the unit annually.
To maximize efficiency and ensure an acceptable level of service, the Paducah Section 8 office may
assign inspections to be conducted by staff or a contracted inspector that is trained to conduct such
inspections in accordance with HQS.
It is the intent of this Agency to assure that each unit meets performance and acceptability
requirements in order to meet the requirement of decent, safe, and sanitary housing. This will be
achieved by adhering to quality control guidelines set forth in HUD Inspection Manual and following
inspection procedures:
The Inspector receives a request for inspection from the Paducah Section 8 office. The inspection
request might be for:
A. Pre -lease inspection.
The Program Administrator may have a tenant who has a unit that is questionable under the
Section 8 Program and may want a pre -lease inspection made. The Program Administrator will
make an appointment with the tenant and landlord to conduct a pre -lease inspection using the
Housing Quality Standards.
The Section 8 Program Administrator and Inspector must follow the Housing Quality Standards
with special regard to the plumbing and electrical systems. When inspecting a unit the Inspector
will look beyond the obvious new cosmetic remodeling. A unit may look clean and nicely
decorated but present subliminal health and safety guard.
B. Initial Inspections,
The Program Administrator or Inspector fill in the initial information on the inspection sheet and
contact the tenant to schedule the inspection. The Housing Quality Standards and local codes
must be met to insure the unit is decent, safe and sanitary.
While conducting the inspection it is the responsibility of the Inspector to note the unit's present
condition listing any deficiencies that need correction.
After the inspection is completed, the unit will be classified as one of the following:
1. Approved.
2. Conditionally Approved, contingent upon repairing the identified deficiencies within a
specified time.
3. Unapproved.
C. Re-exam Inspection.
Paducah Section 8 Housing office will conduct an inspection of a client's unit to determine that the
dwelling continues to meet the approved standards. When a tenant is up for a re-examination
inspection, the Paducah Section 8 Housing office will notify the resident and landlord to schedule
an inspection. The procedure for this inspection uses the same guidelines as an Initial Inspection.

Part IL HOUSING STANDARDS AND INSPECTIONS pane 15
D. Follow-up Inspection.
If a unit has been inspected and is conditionally approved, contingent upon seasonal repairs (e.g.
painting exterior of unit in adverse weather conditions), the landlord is given a due date in which to
complete the identified deficiencies.
After the repair due date has expired, a follow-up inspection is made. If the repairs have been
completed and are acceptable, the Inspector will classify the unit as approved. If the repairs are in
progress, an extension of time may be given at the discretion of the Inspector. The Inspector will
consider the degree of progress and the quality of the work at that point.
If repairs have not been initiated, the owner will be in Violation of their Contract with Paducah
Section 8 Housing office and will be notified of the termination of Contract. The resident will be
issued another Voucher to find housing elsewhere within 60 days.
E. Move -Out Inspections.
When a tenant leaves a unit that is under Contract with the Paducah Section 8 Housing office,
whether it is due to transfer to another unit, termination of the lease, skip out, or an eviction, an
optional move -out inspection may be requested by the landlord or tenant. The Paducah Section 8
office will write-up the inspection sheet and contact the tenant and/or landlord to schedule the
inspection. The inspector will conduct the inspection. Notations are made on the move -out form
and compared to the HUD Inspection Booklet, the Program Administrator's move -in sheet, and
any follow-up comments in the tenant's file. This comparison guards against tenants being
charged for any damage that was incurred from previous occupants.
The Section 8 Program Administrator and Inspector after each inspection make copies of the
report for the Section 8 file, the tenant file, and for the landlord records. In cases where the units
are acceptable contingent upon repairs, a cover letter including the tenant's name, the due date
for completion of repairs and the Program Administrator's and Inspector's names are attached to
the landlord's inspection report. The lease is the negotiated while the deficiencies are being
repaired.
When a unit is declared unacceptable, the Program Administrator and the Inspectors determine
structural and/or major repairs that are required to make the unit decent, safe, and sanitary. The
unit must comply with the Housing Quality Standards before the lease and contract can be
negotiated.
2. Housing Quality Standards (Approval of Unit Size Family Selects)
A. Unit must provide adequate space and security for the family (minimum standards).
B. Unit must contain a living room, kitchen area, and a bathroom.
C. Must be at least one bedroom or living/sleeping room of appropriate size for each two persons.
D. A single parent with a child under the age of six (6) may share the same bedroom.
E. Exterior doors and windows accessible from outside unit must be lockable.
F. PHA may not prohibit family from renting unit with fewer bedrooms than number on Voucher
as long as it meets regular HQS requirements.
3. Unit Size Selection by Family
Vouchers may select a larger unit than listed on the voucher; however
a. Family subsidy will be based on the applicable payment standard for which the family is
eligible, not to exceed a tenant payment greater than 40% of the tenant's adjusted income.
b. Utility allowance is given for the actual unit size selected.
Vouchers may select smaller unit than listed on voucher.
a. Unit must meet HQS space standards.
b. Subsidy would be based on unit size for which the family is eligible.

relationship of family members or other individual circumstances. An exception will be
considered if the applicant requests in writing stating the reasons and justification of such an
exception based on the above factors. The Director of Planning will make the final
determination of occupancy exceptions and document each case accordingly.
5. Disapproval of Owner
Paducah Section 8 Housing office will disapprove owner participation based on (1) owner history of
failing to terminate tenancy for drug related or violent criminal activity or other threatening activity (2)
owner engaging in drug related or violent criminal activity.
6. Annual Re-examinations
All families will be re-examined at least annually to determine if they will continue to receive
assistance and to recalculate total tenant payment and assistance payments. The family is required to
provide verification of family income, composition, medical expenses (elderly), and unusual expenses.
The recalculation of Housing Assistance Payments will be performed following the applicable method
of the program. Any increase or decrease in the family's portion of rental payments will be calculated
and notice will be sent to the landlord and participant in writing before the effective date of change.

7. Continued Assistance after Family Break -Up
Paducah Section 8 Housing office shall determine which family members will continue to receive
assistance after a family break-up. The head of household, spouse or any adult member of the
household must notify the Paducah Section 8 Housing office that there has been a family break-up
and continued assistance is being requested. The assisted family member making the request must
submit the request in writing to the Paducah Section 8 Housing office and request a determination.
The request must be made within 10 calendar days of the break-up. The PHA will consider the
following factors in making this determination:

original assisted unit.
Interest of Family Members: The interest of minor children or of ill, elderly or disabled family
members.
Physical Violence: Whether family members are forced to leave the unit as a result or actual or
threatened physical violence against family members by a spouse or other member of the
household.
Paducah Section 8 Housing office will issue a determination within 10 calendar days of receipt of the
request for a determination. The person requesting the determination may request an Informal
Hearing in accordance with the PHA established procedures if they disagree with the determination of
the Paducah Section 8 Housing office.

family in a divorce or separation under a settlement or judicial decree, the Paducah Section 8
Housing office is bound by the court's determination of which family members continue to
receive assistance in the program.

occupancy of the housing. The carrying charge includes the member's share of the
cooperative debt service, operating expenses, and necessary payments to cooperative
reserve funds. However, the carrying charge does not include down -payments or other
payments to purchase the cooperative unit, or to amortize a loan to the family for this purpose.
Gross rent is the carrying charge plus any utility allowance.
The occupancy agreement/lease and other appropriate documents must provide that the

Space Rental for a manufactured home: Rent to owner - Sec. 982.622
Rent to owner for rental of a manufactured home space includes payment for maintenance
and services that the owner must provide to the tenant under the lease for the space.
Rent to owner does not include the costs of utilities and trash collection for the manufactured
home. However, the owner may charge the family a separate fee for the cost of utilities or
trash collection provided by the owner.
Reasonable rent. During the assisted tenancy, the rent to owner for the manufactured home
space may not exceed a reasonable rent as determined in accordance with this section.
Section 982.503 is not applicable.
The Paducah Section 8 Housing office may not approve a lease for a manufactured home
space until the PHA determines that the initial rent to owner for the space is a reasonable rent.
At least annually during the assisted tenancy, the The Paducah Section 8 Housing office must
determine whether the rent to owner for the manufactured home space is a reasonable rent in
comparison to rent for other comparable manufactured home spaces. To make this
determination, the PHA must consider the location and size of the space, and any services
and maintenance to be provided by the owner in accordance with the lease (without a fee in
addition to the rent).
By accepting each monthly housing assistance payment from the Paducah Section 8 Housing
office, the owner of the manufactured home space certifies that the rent to owner for the space
is not more than rent charged by the owner for unassisted rental of comparable spaces in the

Space rental for a manufactured home: Housing assistance payment. Sec. 982.623
Fair market rent. The FMR for a manufactured home space is determined in accordance with
24 CFR 888.113(e). Exceptions do not apply to rental of a manufactured home space.
Housing assistance payment for a manufactured home:
Payment standard. The payment standard is used to calculate the monthly housing
assistance payment for a family. The payment standard for a family renting a manufactured
home space is the published FMR for rental of a manufactured home space. The amount of
the payment standard is determined in accordance with Sec. 982.505(d)(4) and (d)(5).
Subsidy calculation. The amount of the monthly housing assistance payment for a family
equals the lesser of paragraphs (c)(2)(1) or (c)(2)(ii) of Sec. 982.623:
An amount obtained by subtracting 30% of the family's monthly adjusted gross income from
the sum of:
(A) The amortization cost;
(B) The utility allowance; and
(C) The payment standard.
The monthly gross rent for the manufactured home space minus the minimum rent. The
minimum rent is the higher of:
(A) 10% of monthly income (gross income); or
(B) A higher minimum rent as required by law.
Amortization cost. The amortization cost may include debt service to amortize costs (other
than furniture costs) included in the purchase price of the manufactured home. The debt
service includes the payment for principal and interest on the loan. The debt service amount
must be reduced by 15% to exclude debt service to amortize the cost of furniture, unless the
Paducah Section 8 Housing office determines that furniture was not included in the purchase
price.
The amount of the amortization cost is the debt service established at time of application to a
lender for financing purchase of the manufactured home if monthly payments are still being
made. Any increase in debt service due to refinancing after purchase of the home is not
included in the amortization cost
Debt service for set-up charges incurred by a family that relocates its home may be included in
the monthly amortization payment made by the family. In addition, set-up charges incurred
before the family became an assisted family may be included in the amortization cost if
monthly payments are still being made to amortize such charges.
Annual income. In determining a family's annual income, the value of equity in the
manufactured home owned by the assisted family, and in which the family resides, is not
counted as a family asset.
Space Rental for a manufactured home: Utility allowance schedule. Sec. 982.624
The Paducah Section 8 Housing office must establish utility allowances for manufactured
home space rental. For the first twelve months of the initial lease term only, the allowances
must include a reasonable amount for utility hook-up charges payable by the family if the
family actually incurs the expenses because of a move. Allowances for utility hook-up charges
do not apply to a family that leases a manufactured home space in place. Utility allowances for

Part IV. RENT, UTILITYALLOWANCE STANDARDS naae 28
Part IV. RENT, UTILITY ALLOWANCE STANDARDS
1. Minimum Rent
The minimum rent required by the Agency is $50.00. Hardship request may be made in writing by
the participant for the following circumstances:
1. if a family has lost eligibility for or is awaiting determination for a federal, state or local
assistance program
2. if the family would be subject to eviction as a result of the minimum rent requirement
3. if the income of the family has decreased resulting from changed circumstances, including loss
of employment
4. if a family bas an increase in expenses resulting from changed circumstances for medical
costs, childcare, transportation, education, or similar situations
5. if a death occurs in household
When the Paducah Section 8 Housing office grants a waiver of minimum rent due to hardship the
participant must re -verify hardship situation each month if situation is of a temporary nature. Long
term hardship situation are to be verified at reexamination.
2. Rent Reasonableness - Housing Choice Voucher Program
Under the voucher program, Paducah Section 8 Housing office will provide guidance to the family in
securing a unit that is rent reasonable. We will assist the family, if requested, to negotiate a
reasonable rent. We may disapprove a lease under the voucher program if the rent causes the tenant
payment to exceed 40% of adjusted income or if the rent is not reasonable. Documentation of such
will be presented to the owner of said property for an attempt to negotiate a reasonable rent.
Reasonable Rent rates will be ascertained by comparing rent for other comparable unassisted units.
To assure reasonable rental rates, Paducah Section 8 office will consider the location, quality, size,
unit type, and age of the unit plus any amenities, housing services, maintenance and utilities to be
provided by the owner in accordance with the lease. The PHA will certify and document on a case-by-
case basis that the approved rent does not exceed rents charged for comparable unassisted units.
The bottom line is that the Paducah Section 8 Housing office will evaluate each unit and ascertain that
the rent the assisted family pays is a fair price for the product received. After comparing all applicable
data in the Paducah -McCracken County market, the following question will be asked: If you were in
the market to lease a unit, would you be willing to spend your own money to lease this unit in this
location? If the answer is yes and there is adequate documentation to support the decision, the lease
should be approved. If the person performing the rent test cannot support the rent request (including
that they believe the unit to be worth the amount requested and their willingness to answer yes to the
above question) the lease will not be approved.
3. Security Deposit
The security deposit charged to program participants shall be established by the owner/agent of the
rental property not to exceed deposits typically charged in the private market.
4. Payments
All Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) checks on current contracts will be disbursed to the landlord
and all utility checks dispersed to the resident by the 5th working day of each month.
S. Payment Standard and FMR
The applicable Payment Standard (PS) for the HCV program shall be established at the HUD
published Fair Market Rent (FMR). Payment Standards shall be reviewed each year in order to
determine if the established levels are appropriate to meet the needs of participants based on rent
burdens and success rates of assisted families.

Part IV. RENT, UTILITYALLOWANCE STANDARDS vaae29
6. Contract Rent Adjustments
Under the Voucher Program, the owner must not increase the rent during the first year of the lease. In
order to increase the rental rate, the owner must give the family and the Paducah Section 8 Housing
office written notice at least 60 -days before the implementation of the rent increase. The notice must
state the new amount and the date the new rental amount is due. Such increases must meet the Rent
Reasonableness standard.
7. Utility Allowances
The utility allowance schedule for the Section 8 Program will be reviewed yearly and adjusted
accordingly to insure participant affordability. The utility allowance calculation will be based on the
size of the families' Housing Choice Voucher issued, not the actual size of unit unless the actual unit
size is less.
B. Portability - Voucher Program
Under the voucher program, the participants are entitled to portability of their voucher. Portability will
be addressed as follows:
A. Paducah Section 8 Housing office requires minimum notice of 30 days prior of the tenant's
intended vacancy to transfer their certification.
B. All information concerning the receiving agency must be provided by the participant.
C. All efforts will be made to exchange certification with the receiving agency.
D. If the participant is leased they must fulfill a minimum 12 month lease period and cannot port if
in violation of present lease. Accommodations may be made for participants in Supported
Programs or HUD-VASH, in consultation with program partners and the landlord.
E. If adequate funds are not available, the PHA will deny portability moves if the receiving PHA's
payment standard is greater than the local payment standard and the PHA refuses to absorb
the transfer.

Part VI. PROGRAMS
1. Conversion HCV's
Paducah Section 8 Housing office will administer conversion/enhanced vouchers consistent with 24
CFR 982.201(b)(1)(iii) and any or related subsequent HUD regulations.
Enhanced vouchers are tenant -based assistance. Households issued enhanced vouchers may elect
to use the assistance in the same property (as long as the property continues as rental housing and
the tenancy can be approved in accordance with the enhanced voucher policies), and in all cases
may choose to move from the property immediately. There is no guarantee to the owner that any
enhanced voucher assistance will be used at the property for any period of time. Enhanced vouchers
are different from regular Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) in two major respects. If the family
remains in the same property, a higher enhanced payment standard is used to determine the amount
of subsidy when the gross rent exceeds the normally applicable PHA payment standard, and the
family must continue to contribute towards rent at least the amount the family was paying for rent on
the date of the mortgage maturity, rental assistance contract expiration, or affordability restriction
expiration that removes the affordability restrictions at the property.
The PHA must determine the eligibility of all at -risk households identified by the owner. For purposes
of determining income eligibility, the PHA uses the applicable low income limits (not the very low
income limits).
2. HUD-VASH
The HUD -Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program combines Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) rental assistance for homeless Veterans with case management and clinical services
provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VA provides these services for participating
Veterans at VA medical centers (VAMCs) and community-based outreach clinics. Local clinic is
located at 2620 Perkins Creek Drive.
The Paducah Section 8
Housing office has opted to
participate in this partnership
program with the Veteran's
Administration (Marion, Illinois
office) to provide housing
assistance to area homeless
veterans under the HUD-
VASH Program. The City of
Paducah Section 8 Housing
adheres to HUD Notice FR -
5596 -N-01 and all subsequent
HUD notices in regards to
administration of the HUD-
VASH program.

Initial term of the Housing Choice Voucher for HUD-VASH participants shall be 120 days, rather than
the standard 60 days. Initial lease term may also be less than the standard one-year requirement.
A HUD-VASH participant family's HCV assistance must be terminated for failure to participate, without
good cause, in case management services as verified by the VAMC or CBOC. In such cases, the
PHA will offer the family continued HCV assistance through one of its regular vouchers, if one is
available.
3. Supported Programs (SP)

student. Any HCV participant in the supported program shall retain their HCV eligibility beyond ending
participation in the supported program unless termination of assistance is based upon violation of
Family Obligations of the HCV program. Participants that voluntarily withdraw or are terminated with
cause under SPs shall not be eligible for application to HCV until two years from last HCV assistance.

4. Family Self -Sufficiency Program
The Paducah Section 8 Housing office has received approval to develop and implement a Family
Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program under the terms of the Annual Contributions Contract for KY 36-VI37-
008. The objective of this action plan is to initially outline the policies and procedures for
implementation of this FSS Program.
The overall goal of the Paducah Section 8 Housing office is to enable a maximum of 30 families to
become economically and socially independent through the coordination and delivery of existing
community services.
Mandatory program size will reduce by the number of program graduates although the agency will
continue to operate a voluntary program totaling 30 participants.
Based on past experience with the Project Self -Sufficiency Program, it is known that there are both
societal and individual barriers to break down before a family can leave long term poverty.
It is also understood that an effective FSS Program requires a mixture of creativity and flexibility, in
addition to accountability, for both the family and service providers.
A. Program Objectives
The Program's objectives are listed as follows:
• Improve coordination of both planning and delivery of services to participants of FSS
based on the commitment to make families self-sufficient.
• Implement a case management system to identify needs, planning, and delivery of
services to a FSS family based on the family's commitment to become self-sufficient.
• Document the implementation of services to be used for future planning of a broader-
based FSS Program.
• Establish interagency partnerships to achieve high quality comprehensive service
delivery to all members of a family with long-term results. Assess the accountability of

FSS Program. The Agency does not and will not under the FSS Program Action Plan,
discriminate in its practice or treatment toward any program participant.
D. Selection Process
The selection of FSS participants will be limited to current Section 8 Housing participants with
a selection preference given to JOBS (Job Opportunities and Basic Skills) participants not to
exceed 50% of the total FSS slots. Outreach to JOBS participants will be performed through
notification and coordination of the local JOBScOordinator and staff.
The Paducah Section 8 Housing office will provide FSS information available by means of
notification to all current Section 8 program participants, briefing packets enclosure, media
coverage, community, and/or special interest group presentations.
The non -targeted selections will be made by time and date of the family's expressed interest in
participation in FSS.
The selection procedure for FSS participants will be performed without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, disability, familiar status or national origin.
E. Activities and Support Services
The FSS program will offer the following support services in addition to identified service
needs of specific family circumstance:
• Child Care
• Transportation
• Education
• Employment
• Personal Welfare
• Household Skills and Management
• Counseling (credit, personal, etc.)
• Other service and resources such as case management
The identification of support needs will be established through case management, self-

admission or right to occupy in accordance to lease provisions will not be effected by a family's
participation or nonparticipation in the FSS program.
H. Termination
The family's Contract of Participation may be terminated for any of the following reasons:
• When the housing agency determines that the head or participating family member(s)
has failed to fulfill the terms of the contract and/or any extension therefore.

5. HCV Homeownership Program
The City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (also referred to as PHA) hereby
establishes a Section 8 tenant based homeownership option in Paducah/McCracken County, KY
pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) final rule dated October 12,
2000 and Section 566 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 under Section 8(y),
Homeownership Option.
The Paducah Section 8 Housing office hereby establishes a minimum commitment of 50 housing
choice vouchers to be utilized as homeownership option vouchers subject to review and adjustment
by the City of Paducah Board of Commissioners based upon financial and related considerations.
A. Participant Qualification
Any Section 8 eligible program participant, Housing Authority of Paducah participant, Habitat
for Humanity participant or City of Paducah Planning Department Homebuyer Program
applicants, who has been issued a Section 8 housing choice voucher, referred by the Housing
Authority, Habitat or the Planning Department may utilize the subsidy for purchase rather than
rental of a home, subject to the following:
A family must meet the requirements for admission to or continued participation in the Section
8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program.
The homeownership option will be included in all briefing and re- certification classes as well
as media and community announcements. Current Section 8 participants or public housing
participants must be in compliance with their lease and program requirements and must
terminate their current lease arrangement in compliance with the lease agreement.
A family in which the head or co-head of household has previously received assistance and
has defaulted on a mortgage obtained through the Homeownership Option is disqualified from
participation.
Participant families must be any of the following: "first-time homeowners", in which no family
member owned any present homeownership interest in a residence of any family member
within the last three years; residents of limited equity cooperatives; or, a family of which a
member is a person with disabilities, and use of the Homeownership Option is needed as a
reasonable accommodation. (Title to a mobile home or manufactured home is not considered
as homeownership for purposes of this option.)
Participants in the Section 8 Homeownership Option must attend and satisfactorily complete a
pre -purchase homeownership counseling program and be deemed to be "mortgage ready"
before a homeownership voucher will be issued. Participants are also required to attend and
complete post- purchase and ongoing homeownership counseling. At minimum, the
counseling will cover the following:
• Home maintenance
• Budgeting and money management
• Credit counseling
• Negotiating the purchase price of a home
• Financing
• Locating the home
• De -concentration issues
• HQS (housing quality inspection) and independent inspection requirements
The head of household and/or co head must be currently employed on a full-time basis (as
defined by HUD to average 30 hours per week) and have been continuously employed during
the year before commencement of homeownership assistance. Families in which the head of
2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 5/1/2018
Part VL PROGRAMS - HCV Homeownership Program page 39
household or co-head is disabled or elderly are exempt from this requirement. Families that
include a person with disabilities may request an exemption as a reasonable accommodation.
The family's income must be equal to or exceed the HUD minimum. income requirement,
currently set at 2000 hours times the Federal minimum wage or $14,500 annually. Welfare
assistance will not be considered in meeting the income requirement, except for households in
which the head or co-head is elderly or disabled and for households that include a disabled
person other than head or co-head.
Applicants may be enrolled in the Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program but are not required
to do so for qualifying in the program. Funds accumulated in the FSS escrow account may be
advanced for purchase of the home, home maintenance, credit cleanup or other house
purchase related expenses subject to the guidelines of the FSS Program.
B. Time Frame to Purchase a Home
An applicant will have a maximum of 90 days from the date of issuance of a homeownership
voucher to enter into a Purchase Agreement to purchase a home. If an applicant is unable to
enter into a Purchase Agreement before the end of the initial 90 -day period, the applicant will
be provided an extension of 90 days to enter into a Contract for Sale or utilize the voucher for
house rental.
Any additional extension will be at the discretion of the Program Administrator.
C. Portability
Families determined eligible for homeownership assistance may exercise the Homeownership
Option outside the PHA's jurisdiction if the receiving PHA is administering a HCV
homeownership program and is accepting new families into its program.
D. Permitted Ownership Arrangements
The Homeownership Option may be utilized for three types of housing:
1. A single-family unit owned by the family, where one or more family members hold title
to the home, or a home previously occupied under a lease purchase agreement. Such
unit may be a single family home, half of a duplex, or single unit within a condominium
or multiplex.
2. A cooperative unit, where one or more family members hold membership shares in the
cooperative.
3. A manufactured home on a permanent foundation when the family owns the land in
which the home sits or if the family does not own the land where the home sits, but has
the right to occupy the land for at least thirty years.
E. Contract of Sale and Home Inspections
Participants in the Homeownership Option Program must initially complete a Purchase
Agreement with the owner of the property to be purchased.
The Purchase Agreement must include the seller's certification that the seller(s) has not been
debarred, suspended, or subject to a limited denial of participation under any federal contract
in accordance with 24 CFR part 24.
The Purchase Agreement must include the home's price and other terms of sale, the PHA's
pre purchase HQS inspection requirements (including a provision that the participant will
arrange for a pre purchase inspection of the unit as set forth below), a provision that the
participant is not obligated to purchase the unit unless the inspection is satisfactory to the
purchaser, and an agreement that the purchaser is not obligated to pay for any necessary
repairs.
2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 5/1/2018
Part VL PROGRAMS - HCV Homeownership Program page 40
The participant must obtain an independent professional home inspection of the unit's major
systems at the participant's expense. A member of the American Society of Home Inspectors
(ASHI) or a regular member of the National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI) must
conduct the independent inspection. In all cases the inspection must cover major building
systems and components, including foundation and structure, housing interior and exterior,
and the roofing, plumbing, electrical and heating systems. The inspector must provide a copy
of the inspection report both to the family and to the PHA.
The City of Paducah Section 8 Housing office will conduct a Housing Quality Standards (HQS)
inspection and will review the independent professional inspection of the unit's major systems.
The City of Paducah Section 8 Housing office retains the right to disqualify the unit for
inclusion in the Homeownership Option based on either the HQS inspection or the
independent professional inspection report.
F. Financing
Mortgage instruments must meet at least one of the following criteria:
The household is solely responsible for obtaining financing. All loans must meet FHA, or
acceptable terms by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, reputable secondary markets, or acceptable
mortgage insurance credit underwriting requirements. The PHA will review lender
qualifications, loan terms, and other family debt and expenses to determine that the debt is
affordable and reserves the right to disapprove the loan if it is unaffordable or the terms are
considered predatory.
The PHA requires a minimum homeowner down payment of at least 3 percent of the purchase
price for participation in its Section 8 Homeownership Option Program, and requires that at
least two percent (2%) of the purchase price come from the family's personal resources. The
PHA will consider waiving or reducing the minimum down payment requirement in cases
where the family is using down payment assistance grants or other assistance programs to
purchase the unit. Waivers will be granted on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the
Program Administrator.
The PHA prohibits
• Seller financing
• Co-signers not residing in the household.
In the event of an appeal, the Program Administrator will appoint a review panel.
G. Length and Continuation of Assistance
Section 8 assistance will only be provided for the period that the family is in occupancy of the
home. The maximum term a family may receive homeownership assistance is fifteen years if
the initial mortgage incurred to finance purchase of the home is 20 years or longer. In all other
cases, the maximum term of assistance is ten years or the length of actual mortgage if less
than 10 years.
Elderly families that qualify as such at the start of homeownership assistance and disabled
families that qualify as such at any time during receipt of homeownership assistance are
exempt from this time limit. If an elderly or disabled family ceases to qualify as such during the
course of homeownership assistance, the maximum term applies from the date the assistance
commenced, except that the family will be provided at least 6 months of assistance after the
maximum term becomes applicable.
H. Family Obligations
In addition to completing the pre- and post -purchase homeownership counseling program, the
family must execute a statement of family obligations prior to the issuance of the
2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 5/1/2018
Part VI. PROGRAMS - HCV Homeownership Program page 41
homeownership voucher, agreeing to comply with all family obligations under the
Homeownership Option, including:
1) The family must comply with the terms of any mortgage securing debt incurred to purchase
the home or any refinancing of such debt.
At any time the family is receiving homeownership assistance, the family may not sell or
transfer any interest in the home to any entity or person other than a member of the assisted
family residing in the home.
A home equity loan may not be acquired without the prior written consent of the PHA.
The family must provide required information regarding income and family composition in
order to calculate correctly total tenant payment and homeownership assistance, consistent
with Section 8 requirements and any other information requested by the PHA concerning
financing, the transfer of any interest in the home, or the family's homeownership expenses.
While receiving homeownership assistance, the family must notify the PHA if the family
defaults on a mortgage securing any debt incurred to purchase the home.
While receiving homeownership assistance, the family must notify the PHA before the family
moves out of the home.
1) The family must, at annual reexamination, document that the family is current on mortgage,
insurance and utility payments.
The family is prohibited from moving more than one time in a one (1) year period. The family
may be required to participate in pre- and post -purchase homeownership counseling prior to
re -housing.
While receiving homeownership assistance, no family member may have any ownership
interest in any other residential property.
L Assistance Payment
Paducah Section 8 Housing office may provide upon approval by HUD, one of two types of
homeownership assistance paid directly to the lender or designee on behalf of the family.
1) Monthly homeownership assistance payment
The family's Section 8 monthly housing assistance payment will be the lower of the Section 8
voucher payment standard minus the Total Tenant Payment or the family's monthly
homeowner expenses minus the Total Tenant Payment.
Homeownership expenses include principal and interest on mortgage debt, refinancing
charges of mortgage debt, mortgage insurance premiums, real estate taxes and public
assessments, home insurance, allowance for maintenance expenses, allowance for major
repairs and replacements based on allowance recommended by the PHA's designees, a utility
allowance, and principal and interest on mortgage debt incurred to finance costs for major
repairs, replacements or improvements for the home (including expense of reasonable
accommodation).
If a family's income increases to a level that they are no longer eligible to receive a housing
assistance payment, eligibility for such payments will continue for 180 calendar days. At the
end of a continuous period of 180 days without any assistance payments, eligibility for Section
8 assistance will automatically terminate.
2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 5/1/2018
Part VI. PROGRAMS - HCV Homeownership Program page 42
J. Lease -to -Purchase
Lease -to -Purchase agreements are considered rental property and subject to the Section 8
tenant -based assistance rules. All regulations of the Homeownership Program will become
effective at the time that the family exercises the option to utilize the homeownership voucher.
K. Default
If the family defaults on the home mortgage loan, the participant will not be able to utilize the
Homeownership Voucher for rental assistance but may reapply to the Section 8 waiting list.
L. Recapture
The PHA will not recapture the Homeownership Voucher payments unless there was an act of
fraud or misrepresentation of a material fact in order to obtain a benefit. The HCV
Homeownership recapture provision does not apply to any other program funds that may be
used in the transaction.
M. Denial or Termination of Assistance
The PHA reserves the right to deny or terminate assistance to the family, and will deny
homeownership assistance to the family, in accordance with HUD regulations governing any
failure to comply with family obligation, mortgage default or failure to demonstrate that the
family has conveyed title to the home as required, or the family has moved from the home
within the period established or approved.
N. Informal Hearings
An informal hearing will be offered for participants who are being terminated from the Program
because of the family's action or failure to act as provided in 24 CFR 982.552. The rules and
procedures are set forth in the Section 8 Administrative Plan, entitled "Grievance Procedures".
0. Occupancy Standards
The PHA will determine the occupancy standard applicable to each homeownership family to
be utilized in the issuance of the payment standard size for lease -to -own calculations and
mortgage calculations by consideration of the following:
• size or anticipated size of family
• provision of a valued and salable asset
• analysis of local marketable units
• availability of necessary funding
It is the objective of the PHA to provide the homeowner with the opportunity to purchase local
marketable units. In some cases, the homeowner would only qualify (under the regular
Voucher Program occupancy standards) for a payment standard that would limit the size of the
unit purchased. Under the HCV homeownership program, an analysis will be done on the local
market to insure that the homeowner is provided adequate assistance to purchase a valued
and salable property which in some cases will equate to adjusting the payment standard size
above the occupancy standard of the regular voucher program.
P. Non -Routine Maintenance/Replacement Reserve
The Paducah Section 8 Housing office will encourage a non -routine maintenance and
replacement reserve account for each homebuyer receiving home ownership assistance under
the Section 8 Homeownership Program. The account shall be maintained by either the
Kentucky Housing Corporation or mortgage company/designee for the benefit of the individual
homeowner.
The reserve accounts will insure that the homebuyer have sufficient funds on hand for major
repairs and systems replacement.
2018 Administrative Plan for Paducah Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Effective 51112018
Part VL PROGRAMS - Homeownership Option 10 Year Asset Exclusion page 43
Each home buyer receiving homeownership assistance with a reserve account option will be
required to deposit (minimum) $50.00 monthly to an escrow account to be used to pay for
reasonable and non -routine maintenance or repair expenses, or systems replacement; and in
the case of a disabled household, the cost of modification of a unit necessary as a reasonable
accommodation. Families may access the account with a written request to PSS, which will
include the nature of the repair or replacement, bids or estimates, or actual receipts for work
that has already been completed. The PHA will make the final determination on approval of
account withdrawals and shall submit request to servicing agent for release of funds.
Participation in the monthly non -routine maintenance/replacement reserve escrow program is
required (unless otherwise not offered by a mortgage company or designee) by all participants
receiving Section 8 Homeownership assistance from the City of Paducah Section 8 Housing
Program after May 1, 2008. Participation by pre-existing homeowners receiving Section 8
Homeownership assistance will be by voluntary written agreement by existing homeowner and
will be subject to all provisions under mandatory requirement. The length of individual
participation is based on the length of assistance provided by the PHA. After completion of a
ten (10) year term of home ownership assistance and obligation, the family may make a
written request for the remaining escrow account balance or request it be applied toward the
principle balance of their mortgage.
Withdrawal of the funds will be contingent on:
✓ Good standing with homeownership program and mortgage obligations.
✓ The expense being approved by the PHA. Such expenses are for the replacement of
the heating system, air conditioning, water heater, refrigerator, appliances (funds
cannot be used to purchase the initial appliance), and home repairs (not including
decorations). It may not be used for additions to the unit or for decorative landscaping.
Q. Disbursements
In order to access maintenance/replacement reserve funds, a written request must be
submitted to the PHA stating the estimate of cost and purpose the funds will be used.
6. Homeownership Option 10 Year Asset Exclusion
Federal Regulations 24 CFR 5.603 (b) Net Family Assets exempts the home purchased with voucher
assistance from being counted as an asset for the first 10 years after closing. The PHA will utilize the
following method in calculating home value assets after the initial 10 year exemption exclusion:
Market Value minus Loan Value equals Asset Value
Market Value will be obtained by utilizing the assessed value of property as provided by the
McCracken County Property Evaluation Office and reduced (adjusted) by 10% (estimated cost of
expense to convert to cash)
Loan Value will be determined by the amount obtained from mortgage company to pay-off loan in
full effective on re -certification date or other designated date, if pay-off amount is unobtainable,
mortgage balance on re -certification date or other designated date will be utilized as loan value.

• Requesting applicants and participants to list their primary language and need for interpreter
on applications and eligibility statements;
• Tracking the LEP information electronically;
Language Assistance Measures
Types of Language Services Available
PHA shall take reasonable steps to provide oral and written language services as described in this
section. In determining what language services should be provided, PHA shall consider the following
factors:
A. The number or Proportion of LEP Persons Served or Encountered in the Eligible Service
Population
PHA shall examine its prior experiences with LEP encounters to determine the breadth and
scope of language services needed. PHA shall also consult other data to refine or validate
its prior experience, including the latest census data for the area served.
B. The Frequency With Which LEP Individuals Come Into Contact With the Program
PHA shall take reasonable steps to assess, as accurately as possible, the frequency of contact with
LEP persons from different language groups. The more frequent the contact with a particular
language group, the more likely that enhanced language services in that language are needed. Less
frequent contact with different language groups may suggest a different and less intensified solution.
The Nature and Importance of the Program, Activity, or Service provided by the Program
The more important the activity, information, service, or program, or the greater the possible
consequences of the contact to the LEP persons, the more likely language services may be needed.

Part VII. ADMINISTRATION & EVALUATION - Limited English Proficient (LEP) Policy page 50
The Resources Available to PHA and Costs
While it is PHA's policy to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to PHA programs and
activities by LEP persons, the availability of resources may limit the provision of language services in
some instances "Reasonable steps" may cease to be reasonable where the costs imposed
substantially exceed the benefits. PHA shall explore the most cost-effective means of delivering
competent and accurate language services before limiting services due to resource concerns.
Oral Language Services (Interpretation)
PHA shall use contract interpreters and bilingual PHA or City of Paducah staff to provide the services.
Where LEP persons so desire, they can use, at their own expense, an adult interpreter of their own
choosing (whether a professional interpreter, family member, or friend) in place of or as a supplement
to the free language services offered by PHA. PHA may, at its discretion, choose to provide their own
Interpreter in addition to the one used by the family.
PHA shall take reasonable steps to ensure competency of the language service provider. When
providing oral language assistance, PHA shall use the following general criteria to ensure effective
communication with LEP persons:
• Demonstrated proficiency in and ability to communicate information accurately in both English
and in the other language and identify and employ the appropriate mode of interpreting;
• Knowledge in both languages of any specialized terms or concepts peculiar to PHA's program
or activity and of any particular vocabulary and phraseology used by the LEP person;
• Understanding of and following confidentiality and impartiality rules;
• Awareness of "regionalisms" used by the LEP person;
• Understanding of and adherence to their role as interpreters without deviating into a role as
counselor, legal advisor, or other roles.
When interpretation is needed and is reasonable, it shall be provided in a timely manner so as to
avoid the effective denial of a benefit or service. Where access to or exercise of a benefit or service is
not effectively precluded by a reasonable delay, the language assistance may be reasonably delayed.
Written Language Services (Translation)
PHA shall take reasonable steps to provide written translations of vital documents that list program
rules and instructions for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes 5% or 28 persons,
whichever is less, of program applicants/participants. Whether or not a document (or information it
solicits) is vital may depend upon the importance of the program, information, encounter, or service
involved, and the consequence to the LEP person if the information in question is not provided
accurately or in a timely manner. For example, applications for certain recreational activities would not
generally be considered vital documents, whereas applications for housing could be considered vital.
All documents that require action from an applicant or participant shall include a statement in the
languages of eligible groups reading "Important information about your housing. If you need
assistance, please contact us immediately." PHA shall take reasonable steps to provide oral
interpretation of other documents, if needed.
For all documents available in the languages of eligible groups, the English version of the documents
shall include a statement on the bottom in the languages of eligible groups reading "This form is
available in (language) upon request."
For LEP language groups that constitute less than of program applicants, participants or residents,
PHA will not translate written materials, but shall take reasonable steps to provide oral interpretation
of the written materials upon request.
As with oral interpreters, PHA will take reasonable steps to ensure competency of translators of
written documents. Where legal or other vital documents are involved, PHA shall make a reasonable
effort to use certified translators.

Part VII. ADMINISTRATION & EVALUATION -Limited English Proficient (LEP) Policy page 51
Telephone Services
When calls are received by an LEP applicant, participant or resident, PHA staff will make every effort
to determine the language being spoken by the caller. Calls will be forwarded to PHA or City staffs
who speaks the same language as the caller for assistance. If PHA or City staff is not available at the
time of the call, the caller will be requested to call back when an interpreter can be available. An
interpreter will be secured within a reasonable time frame.
On -Site Visitation
When an LEP applicant, participant or resident comes to the PHA office, PHA staff will make every
effort to determine the language being spoken by the caller by using the "I Speak" cards. If PHA or
City staffs who speak the language are available to assist the applicant, participant or resident, they
will do so, either in person or via telephone. If PHA or City staff is not available at the time of the visit,
the person will be requested to come back when an interpreter can be available. An interpreter will be
secured within a reasonable time frame.
Written Communications
Correspondence received in languages other than English will be translated by PHA or City staff who
speak the language, where available, or by PHA's contracted translation agency. Responses will be
translated into the same language as the letter that was received.
Training Staff
PHA will ensure that staff knows the obligation to provide meaningful access to information and
services to LEP persons. PHA will provide training to ensure that:
• Staff is competent on LEP policies and procedures; and
• Staff having contact with the public is trained to work effectively with interpreters.
The training will be included as a part of departmental orientation for new employees.
Staff will be provided with listing of forms available in languages other than English and with a list of
bilingual City staff.
Providing Notice to LEP Persons
PHA shall provide a notice to LEP persons of the availability of free language assistance that ensures
meaningful access to PHA's programs and services. Examples of notification may include:
• Posting signs in common areas, offices, and anywhere applications are taken. The signs shall
be translated into the most common languages encountered;
• Stating in outreach documents that language services are available. These statements shall
be translated into the most common languages encountered;
• Working with grassroots and faith -based community organizations and other stakeholders to
inform LEP persons of PHA's services, including the availability of language assistance
services;
Monitoring and Updating LEP Plan
PHA will monitor the implementation of the LEP plan on an ongoing basis to determine whether new
documents, programs, services, and activities need to be made accessible for LEP persons. In
addition, PHA will review its LEP plan annually to evaluate the following information:
• Proportion of LEP persons in the eligible service population;
• Frequency of encounters with LEP language groups;
• Nature and importance of activities to LEP persons;
• Availability of resources;
• Whether existing language assistance meets the needs of LEP persons;
• Whether staff knows and understands LEP plan and its implementation.

For the 2018 KOHS funding cycle, the Paducah Police Department seeks funds to replace bomb suits for the
Bomb Squad. This team makes an average of 311 calls per year among the 30 surrounding counties it serves.
Federal grant funding shortly after 9111 brought much of the equipment and resources still in use, and key
elements of the bomb suits are expired. The suits are required for when team members approach a dangerous
device, and they have ballistic material and cooling and air return systems. The ballistic material in particular has
reached the end of its life expectancy and is in need of replacement. The total project cost is $105,000 and the
PPD will request this amount. Each suit cost $35,000 and three are needed. There is not a match requirement for
this project.

®Ordinance ❑ Emergency ❑ Municipal Order ❑ Resolution ❑ Motion
Staff Work By: McManus, Stringer, Barnhill, Zidar, Kyle, Tinsley, Chino.
Presentation By: Ed McManus.
Background Information: This is an amendment to our original consulting
agreement with Federal Engineering to provide oversight support of CAD
installation on a "time & material" basis.
On August 18, 2016, the City of Paducah entered a professional consulting
agreement with Federal Engineering for assistance with the 911
Communications Services Upgrade Project. The initial agreement is for the
amount of $252, 172.00.
The consulting agreement requires weekly teleconference calls, document
reviews, site visits, etc. As the process evolves toward purchase and
installation of Computer Assisted Dispatch (CAD) software, it is apparent there
needs to be implementation support in addition to the original agreement.
This Implementation Agreement is for the amount of $99,800.00 and provides
support through an expected 12 — 18 month installation of extremely technical
software containing several thousand individual items that must be verified and
tested.
Although there have been minor amendments to the original agreement not in
need of City Commission approval, this amendments is paramount in service
and price. This was anticipated at inception of the original agreement, but
impossible to determine until a vendor was selected and service agreed.

PROJECT: PADKY-CAD-IMPLTN
CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
COMPUTER-AIDED DISPATCH AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (CAD/RMS) IMPLEMENTATION OVERSIGHT SUPPORT
1. INTRODUCTION AND ISSUES
The City of Paducah, Kentucky (City) is in the process of replacing their computer aided
dispatch (CAD), records management system (RMS), and mobile data systems. In August
2016, the City retained Federal Engineering, Inc. (F&Kimbaln to assist them with defining
requirements, developing procurement documents, and providing implementation support
services for this project.
The City desires F&Kimball to provide contract negotiations support for their upcoming best
and final offer (BAFO) meeting with the highest-ranking vendor and provide implementation
oversight and support to the CAD/RMS project.
2. TASKS TO BE PERFORMED
In response to the City's request, F&Kimball will perform the tasks defined in this section.
Task 1—Completion of Contract Negotiations and Procurement
FE/Kimball will continue to support the current contract negotiations through to conclusion, so
the City obtains the best value for their financial commitment. Research activities will be
performed with other jurisdictions to compare costs and feature offerings to evaluate the
consistency of vendor contract and pricing terms. Our experience indicates that the contract
negotiation process for these types of projects may require the following steps:
Page 1 of 9
• Assist staff in preparing a draft agreement based upon contracting requirements
"boilerplate," advice from the City's procurement staff, and reviews of vendor contract
documentation, installation agreements, licensing agreements, and support agreements,
making changes as required so that they reflect client needs.
• Supplement the City's contracting language with information about the project/system
procurement SOW. This includes information from the request for proposals (RFP)
regarding system design, functionality, and performance requirements and conditions.
Information included is relevant to change order policies, testing, terms and conditions,
and payment terms.
• Assist staff in negotiations with the vendor(s) whose exhibits and supplemental
information should be combined and included into the contract document.
• Assist with deciding the "order of precedence" of documents in terms of vendor and the
City responsibilities and expectations.
• Attend meeting(s) with the vendor(s) to review and discuss their contract offerings,
including contract pricing and other key conditions. We will advise the City regarding
options for resolution of differences so that a final agreement can be reached.
From our experience with these types of consulting projects, we believe the negotiation of a
comprehensive contract with explicit terms, conditions, and performance measures is an
essential risk -prevention step for a jurisdiction engaged in a complex technology procurement.
We anticipate that contract negotiations with the preferred vendor(s) can be completed within
one month after selection of the preferred vendor.
Task 2—Project Management, Implementation Support, and Training (to be
performed on a time and materials basis)
The FE/Kimball project manager will work closely with the City of Paducah project manager to
examine that the CAD/RMS systems successfully complete the necessary stages and that the
selected vendor adheres to project requirements. F&Kimball's project team has been through
many projects as public safety communications personnel and first responders, consultants, and
vendors, and are aware of the roles and responsibilities of each and how they contribute to a
successful project.
Planning and Project Team Support—Our team will work with and coordinate the selected
system vendor to prepare an implementation plan for the replacement of the current systems.
The development of this plan is instrumental in the management of the procured solution. This
plan reflects key information relative to the implementation of the new systems and subsystems,
including detailed milestones, implementation timelines, deliverables, budget, and definition of
both the City's and vendor contracted responsibilities and contingencies for key project
activities.
The implementation plan for the new systems identifies the project deliverables and the
interdependencies among deliverables to achieve project success. The plan includes an audit
Page 2of9
trail to allow the participating agencies and the FE/Kimball team to record key events in the
project execution, and to compare current status with planned milestones.
The system implementation plan will include known assumptions and constraints to the project,
a staffing plan defining who and which organizations are responsible for tasks that are integral
to the project, and risk management. This plan will provide a means of managing the project
and reporting status, risks, delays, and problems that need to be resolved. This plan will serve
as a tool for our team to evaluate contract compliance.
The FE/Kimball team will utilize the project plan throughout the implementation phase of the
project to identify issues, recommend corrective actions, and report on the status of
implementation progress. Our consultative support and subject matter expertise is provided
throughout this phase to address project issues and alternatives.
Project status meetings will be scheduled on both a regular basis as agreed to with the City of
Paducah, and ad hoc when circumstances and events require quick action. FE/Kimball will
work with the City to make the best use of available conference technologies for both in-person
and remote users. The FE/Kimball project manager will attend most project -level meetings in
person. Emphasis will be given to attending meetings at the beginning of a new phase, for key
milestones, and for the conclusion of each phase. FE/Kimball will facilitate by providing
agenda, distribution of previously submitted materials, and completion and distribution of
meeting minutes after review. The pattern of meetings, participants, and written reports will be
documented in a communications plan that will clearly spell out how and when these events will
occur and who is expected to participate or receive information as a result.
Once the contract with the vendor has been executed, the FE/Kimball team will perform the
following installation and implementation tasks:
Task 2.1—Implementation Planning
F&Kimball will assist the City project manager and project team with scope control and change
management. The FE/Kimball and City project managers will monitor scope on a continuous
basis. Generally speaking, requirements take the following forms, and changes need to be
considered carefully:
• Tasks and activities are enumerated in the schedule and described in greater detail in
various plans.
• Deliverables are defined in the RFP and proposals and further in document descriptions.
• Requirements documentation describes the functional and non-functional requirements,
and service levels to be provided by the vendor.
• Architecture, design, and other documentation describes how the system will perform
from the perspective of end users, data maintenance, and system managers.
• Bill of materials and similar documents describe quantities of items such as hardware,
software, and services to be provided.
Page 3 of 9
Change requests to the project scope by project stakeholders should be encouraged. However,
a process needs to be established within the requesting organization to determine the need and
justification, to be forwarded to the project manager for their organization. The F&Kimball and
City project managers will log and review the change request and determine if the change is
required. If a change is required, participants will agree to use the project change request. New
or modified requirements will be jointly analyzed for impact on:
• Scope
• Schedule
• Quality
• Cost
• Other deliverables, staffing, or workload
FE/Kimball will assist the City in documenting and briefing the change request to project
executives, and, if necessary, to the vendor. FE/Kimball will assist the City in negotiations of
scope, cost, or schedule with the vendor as necessary. Change requests will be recorded and
tracked. Current status will be maintained and included in the status reporting process.
F&Kimball team members have a wide variety of expertise and experience in reviewing vendor
submissions for quality and compliance. If other technical experts are required, in-house
technical experts in IT, networks, radio, telephony, testing, and training are available.
A master list of both milestones (events or conditions) and deliverables (tangible items such as
documents) will be maintained in conjunction with the project's master schedule. Additionally,
FE/Kimball will work with the City on requiring the vendor to define the content, format, and
other attributes of the deliverables so there are no surprises upon delivery. Deliverables will be
tracked and will provide due dates, the responsible party, and the parties who will review and
approve the deliverable and its current status.
FE/Kimball will review the project cutover plan with input from the City, the CAD/RMS vendor,
as well as other third -party vendors and stakeholders. The cutover plan will be developed with
input from stakeholders as to what is necessary from their perspective for a successful cutover.
Tasks and milestones will be defined, put in order of precedence, and assigned to an individual
who will report on status and completion as the cutover progresses. Typically, the plan will cover
technologies (hardware, software, and networks), personnel and training, data preparation,
documentation, and interfaced systems. The cutover plan will also describe the process for
recording and resolving errors in system operation and for logging other indicators of the
vendor's performance and other record keeping that will be used to determine if the system has
met the criteria for acceptance.
Task 2.2—System Design Review
We will obtain and review detailed design plans/network diagrams for the implementation of the
CAD/RMS system. Our project team will secure system documentation, including system
diagrams, schematics, and as -built drawings from the system/equipment vendor. The
Page 4 of 9
FE/Kimball team will review system documentation and make recommendations for
additions/changes, so they meet the needs of the participating agencies and their stakeholders.
Task 2.3—System Implementation
FE/Kimball will provide project oversight services for installation and acceptance of the
procured CAD/RMS system and associated vendor deliverables. Our project team members will
use the master project plan to monitor vendor implementation activities and to make
recommendations regarding the performance of the vendor and compliance with contracted
responsibilities.
Task 2.4—Develop Program Migration Strategies
Our team will advise the City regarding migration strategies for implementation of the new
CAD/RMS systems. The FE/Kimball team will assist in developing strategies to attain full
functionality of each of the systems with minimal impact upon operational and other critical
activities. The migration plans will incorporate best practices from similar deployments and
operational factors to maintain delivery of service to the public and emergency responders
during cutover.
Task 2.5 --Training
The FE/Kimball project manager and other members of the team will work with the City project
manager and other stakeholders on the team in developing training plans that identify
objectives, target audience, optimum size, format, and content. The FE/Kimball team is familiar
with assisting customers on a variety of training needs, including the following:
• Executive management
• Supervisors
• Communications center personnel
• Mobile users
• Data maintenance staff and system administrators
FE/Kimball will assist in the review of the selected vendor's training plans specific to system
administrator/user training. We will assist the City in the organization, scheduling, and oversight
of the training necessary to effectively implement the new systems.
The training plan will also identify facility and equipment requirements for training activities.
Task 2.6—Monitor Contract Compliance
We will provide project oversight services for installation and acceptance of the procured
systems and associated vendor deliverables. FE/Kimball will use the master project plan to
monitor vendor implementation activities and to make recommendations regarding the
performance of the vendor and compliance with contracted responsibilities.
Subtask 2.6.1—Punch Lists
FE/Kimball will prepare and monitor punch lists for the project, identifying issues and problems
that need to be resolved with the implementation of the system(s). With a project of this nature,
issues are confronted during implementation that need to be resolved prior to systems/
Page 5of9
equipment testing and/or acceptance. We will identify and track these issues for the City based
on the project plan and the vendor implementation plan as a means of providing an accurate
status of the project's progress and potential delays. These punch lists drive periodic status
meetings throughout project implementation.
Task 2.7—Assist with System Testing
FE/Kimball will observe, evaluate, and make recommendations for the process of functional
and system acceptance testing. We will work closely with City stakeholder representatives in
reviewing testing strategies, reviewing and documenting functional, interface, integration, and
reliability, and test plans for system implementation, and assist them in reviewing test results
related to these testing events that ultimately lead to final system acceptance of the procured
systems. The system testing reviews are conducted utilizing agreed-upon performance criteria.
Our project team will provide support in developing error reports for use in the monitoring of
testing results and notification to the vendor when testing criteria have not been met.
Task 2.8—Assist with System Cutover
FE/Kimball will advise the City regarding migration strategies for implementation of the new
CAD/RMS systems and related subsystems. Our project team will assist in developing
strategies to attain full functionality of each of the systems with minimal impact upon operational
and other critical activities. The migration plans will incorporate human technology and
operational factors to maintain delivery of service to the public and emergency responders. It
has been our experience that with these type of complex projects, the CAD system is typically
implemented first, followed by implementation of the related subsystems.
A key element of cutover is to document the issues related to the implementation, including
hardware, software, and operational issues. An Issues List will be created at the start of the
implementation process and is reviewed during project update meetings.
Task 2.9—Assist with Project Closeout
FE/Kimball will determine if issues have been dealt with prior to final acceptance and project
closeout. F&Kimball will evaluate whether the following have been completed by the vendor:
• Punch list items have been resolved or are resolved to the satisfaction of the City project
staff
• As -built system documentation is received by the City
• Maintenance policies and procedures are developed as necessary
• Current training material is received for future training sessions
• City project staff is provided with a recommendation for system final acceptance

(collectively referred to as the "Work"). FE shall perform the Work subj ect to the terms,
conditions, warranties and covenants contained in the Contract Documents.
While the Technical Proposal Amendment deletes McCracken County, Kentucky as a user of the
systems, other Users are located in McCracken County, Kentucky, thus all deletion references
contained in the Technical Proposal Amendment shall be to McCracken County, Kentucky as a
user and site surveys and analyses of current McCracken County systems, and shall not apply to
other Users located within the geographic area of McCracken County, Kentucky.
FE shall perform as part of the Work (and as part of the fixed price compensation identified in
Section 3 below) all work identified or described in the Technical Proposal. This shall not
include all work described in the Technical Proposal as an "option" or "optional". FE warrants
that the "option" or "optional" tasks excluded from the Work are not needed to develop the
functional and performance specifications for the City to acquire systems that meet the City's
needs. This shall also include all work involving the collection of information, observations and
data that is described in the Technical Proposal as "typical" or "typically collected" as required
to develop the functional and performance specifications for the City to acquire systems that
meet the City's needs.
FE shall not be obligated to conduct an interactive workshop described in Section 2.4.1.
However, FE shall be obligated (as part of the Work compensated as part of the fixed price in
Section 3 below) to address the needs and issues described in Section 2.4.1 of the Technical
Proposal as part of the Work described in Section 2.1 of the Technical Proposal.

Fixed price for work related to the Radio System: $132,236
Fixed price for work related to the Computer Aided Dispatch: $ 69,966
Total: $252,172
Because FE is an experienced professional consulting services firm specializing in the subject
matter of this Agreement, because FE has engaged in an on-site visit to ascertain existing
conditions, and because FE was selected largely due to its fixed price proposal, its compensation
for the Work shall be fixed as identified in this Section 3, without any equitable or other
adjustment(s). Because the parties contemplate both a phased approach and an approach that
separates the Work in time with respect to each of the three components of the New Systems,
there shall be no adjustment to the fixed price as a result of such phased approach or separation.
FE shall separately invoice the City for the Work for each completed phase for each separate
component. The separate components are the 9-1-1 Telephony System, the Radio system and the

ceiling price or amount of the order including all charges and travel authorizations, if any; and
(e) any other terms, conditions, warranties or covenants. Any Task Order issued by the City
shall be subject to review and acceptance by FE, which shall document its acceptance by signing
the Task Order in the space provided and returning a copy to the City. FE shall not perform any
additional work described in a Task Order prior to signing such Task Order and returning a copy
to the City. Except as expressly provided in any Task Order, the terms, conditions, warranties
and covenants contained in the Contract Documents shall apply to any work performed pursuant
to any such Task Order. FE acknowledges that only the City's Mayor or City's Manager has
authority to issue any Task Order.

In the event of termination prior to completion of any additional work described in a time and
materials Task Order, FE shall receive compensation for the work performed at the time of FE's
receipt of the City's notice of termination. In the event of termination prior to completion of any
additional work described in a fixed price Task Order, FE shall receive a portion of such fixed
price prorated by comparing the completed portion of the work described in such Task Order
with the portion of the work described in such Task Order not complete, both at the time of FE's
receipt of the City's termination notice.
6. CONFLICTS BETWEEN DOCUMENTS: Any conflict between any of the Contract
Documents or any Task Order issued by the City shall be resolved using the following order of
precedence:
a. this Agreement; then
b. the RFP; then
c. Addendum No. 1 to the RFP; then

assistants to help FE perform the Work. The management of the Work, including but not limited
to the order or sequence in which it is performed, shall be under the control of FE subject to the
terms and conditions in the Contract Documents. Except to the extent that FE's work must be
performed on or with the City's computer or software, all materials used in providing the Work
shall be provided by FE. FE shall provide any insurance coverage that is required in the normal
course of business as well as any specialized insurance that is specifically called for in this
Agreement. The City acknowledges and agrees that as an independent contractor, FE does not
have any authority to sign contracts, notes, or obligations to make purchases, or to acquire or
dispose of any property for or on the behalf of the City.
8. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS: FE
provides the following additional representations, warranties and covenants to the City:
