Projects"), up to $35,000,000 of the costs of which are presently expected to be refinanced by the

WHEREAS, it is expected that the refinancing of the Existing Projects by Baptist Health
will have a positive impact on the local economy and the delivery of hospital, health care, and
health-related services to the citizens of the City and the surrounding areas and, in particular, will
result in the provision of more efficient and effective hospital, health care, and health-related
services in the area; and

body politic and corporate within the Economic Development Cabinet of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, created and existing pursuant to the provisions of KRS Chapter 154, possesses the
legal authority to authorize and issue revenue bonds to provide for the refinancing of the Existing
Projects upon the request of the City as required by KRS 103.210(1); and
WHEREAS, such refinancing, when undertaken by KEDFA, will enable Baptist Health
to continue to provide substantial employment for residents of the area; and
WHEREAS, the City, for the reasons above stated, desires to renew its request for the
issuance of such revenue bonds by KEDFA (the "Bonds") for the purposes of refinancing costs
of the Existing Projects, and refinancing the costs of other projects for other hospitals, health
care, and health-related facilities owned or operated by Baptist Health in other Kentucky cities,
and it is appropriate that this Resolution be adopted in order to evidence such request;

Short Title: Resolution in support of the issuance by Kentucky Economic Development Finance
Authority of Revenue Bonds for the refinance of construction costs relating to the facilities of Baptist
Health Paducah located at in Paducah, Kentucky.
❑ Ordinance ❑ Emergency ❑ Municipal Order ® Resolution ❑ Motion
Staff Work By: Lisa Emmons, City Attorney
Presentation By: Mark Thompson, City Manager and Michelle Hayden and
Elizabeth Bird of Baptist Health
Background Information:
Recently, the City of Paducah received a request from Stoll, Keenon & Ogden, bond counsel for
Baptist Health, requesting support regarding the upcoming issuance of Kentucky Economic
Development Finance Authority ("KEDFA") revenue bonds that will be used to refinance
construction costs incurred by Baptist Healthcare System, Inc.in previous improvements to
the health-related facility of Baptist Health Paducah located within the City of Paducah,
Kentucky.
The KEDFA revenue bonds will refinance the costs of previous improvements to certain
hospital, health care, and health-related facilities currently constituting Baptist Health
Paducah in the City of Paducah, Kentucky, including without limitation the prior acquisition,
construction, or renovation of facilities for hospital inpatient services, cardiovascular
services, women's health services, diagnostic imaging services, cardiac rehabilitation
services, cancer treatment services, and chaplain services, administration, parking, central
plant improvements, safety system upgrades, and medical and office equipment and
furnishings up to $35,000,000.
The bonds will be repaid in their entirety by Baptist Healthcare System, Inc., and its affiliates.
The City of Paducah will in no way be liable for any repayment of these bonds. Under
Kentucky Revised Statutes § 103.210(1), however, the City is be required to pass a resolution
that indicates a desire on the City's part for the bond financing to occur. The revenue bond
financing is beneficial to the economy of the City of Paducah as it enables Baptist Health to
continue to provide substantial employment for residents of the area.
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed resolution and it appears to sufficiently fulfill
the statutory requirements under Kentucky law. If the City Council is so willing, a motion
and vote on this resolution would allow KEDFA to proceed with the revenue bond issue.
As a result, the City Attorney is recommending that the resolution be approved and adopted

and the City purchased this lot by deed dated March 24, 2015 and recorded in Deed Book
1294 Page 175 recorded on April 17, 2015 for $334.00. The City had no intended use when it
was acquired.
Disposition of the Property
It is in the best interest of the City to transfer ownership of this property to a responsible
citizen placing the property back on the tax rolls and eliminating the maintenance and
liability costs, provided the development would not destabilize or undermine property
values in the surrounding area or be counter to future land use goals.
Bid Information
In accordance with these regulations, a legal ad ran in the Paducah Sun on April 15, 2018
requesting interested parties to submit a sealed bid on or before 9 AM on May 1, 2018. Notice
was also posted on the property requesting sealed bids. Only one bid was received before the
deadline.
BID # 1
Randal and Carolyn Lofton
Bid Amount: $51.50 plus deed preparation costs
1($77)
They propose clear lot of debris; fill low spots and use in conjunction with
adjacent property. The total proposed investment on the property is $1,650.
The Bidders reside in Benton, KY. They own 6 other properties in Paducah, each with a
residence:
• 414 Elizabeth Street • 2305 Powell Street
• 611 Elizabeth Street • 2309 Powell Street
• 426 Joe Clifton Drive
Staff Recommendation
While the bidders do not have any plans for the property in the immediate future, if
development occurs, it must occur carefully so not to harm surrounding development, both
existing and future. Consequently, any new home should be compatible and uphold the
existing residential development pattern. The surrounding homes have front doors and
ample porches oriented toward Powell Street; the dominant roof pitch matches or exceeds
6/12; and the construction of existing homes uses traditional residential materials and
methods. These are the type of general characteristics that would be reviewed for
compatibility.
Therefore, it is recommended to accept Bid #1 and transfer the property to Randal and
Carolyn Lofton accepting the offer of $51.50 plus the cost of deed preparation ($60.00) and
recording fee ($17.00) subject to the review and approval by the Director of Planning of the
final site plan, elevations and construction plans of any home that would be constructed or
located on the property.

Presentation By: Tammara Tracy
Background Information: The Department for Local Government (DLG) is set to receive funding for the 2018
Funding Cycle from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. Funds are designated for various program areas including Community Projects, Community
Emergency Relief Fund, Economic Development, Housing and Public Facilities.
The CDBG program provides assistance to communities for use in revitalizing neighborhoods, expanding affordable

the participation of their citizens, communities can devote these funds to a wide range of activities that best serve
their own particular development priorities. All project activities must meet at least one of three national objectives:
• benefit to low and moderate income persons;
• prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and,
• meeting particularly urgent community development needs.
On behalf of Four Rivers Behavioral Health, the planning department is proposing the submittal of a CDBG
application for the Center Point Recovery Center for personnel expenses. The application will be in the amount of
$220,000 through the Public Services program. These funds will be matched by the Four Rivers Behavioral Health
with approximately $1,030,599 in other federal and state funds. Local matching funds will not be required from the
City of Paducah.
A fee of $2,500 will be paid to the city for maintaining and providing administration of the funding.

Short Title: Upgrade of City Core Switches
❑Ordinance ❑ Emergency ® Municipal Order [] Resolution [] Motion
Staff Work By: Greg Dowdy
Presentation By: Stephen Chino
Background Information: All city telephone and data functions run through two
Cisco 2960 data switches, housed at the Information systems office at 500 Clark
Street. These existing switches are greater than 7 years old and have been
declared end of life by the manufacturer. Further support is no longer available
for these old switches. The purpose of this action is to replace the two cisco
2960 switches with two new redundant Cisco model 3850 switches. The new
switches are faster and will exceed specifications for the new 911 system and
provide redundant data paths in case of disaster. The new switches will provide
greater throughput for all city users, due to increased memory and faster
processing speed. The cost of the project is currently budgeted in account
EQ0028-000-40000-40010 and the cost is $25,661.20. This project is part of an
overall systems retrofit and the estimated completion/installation of the
switches is July 20, 2018. Switch installation by this time is required for the 911
retrofit project to continue on schedule. Three quotes were obtained from
Pomeroy Networks, CDW Government and POS Global. CDW-G was the
lowest cost and priced the items from state contract AR -233 NCA 758
1400000876. Due to the highly critical technical nature of these switches and
time constraints, we have requested a written determination under City of
Paducah code 2-659(9) to purchase these items from state contract rather that
the bid process. There is no known local vendor for this equipment according to
Cisco's partner website.

SUBJECT: State Contract Purchase of Data Center Switches
The Information systems department intends to purchase 2 Cisco 3850 data
center switches from CDW Government. The equipment is critical to all phone and
computer operations. The equipment is required before the 911 implentation can take
place and is needed quickly. We have obtained 3 quotes from vendors and CDW-G
was the only vendor to provide equipment on the state contract and was the lowest
quote. Pursuant to Paducah code 2-659(9) we have chosen to forgo the bid process and
purchase directly from the state contract vendor CDW.

Background Information: The department needs to replace radios that are

have found radios that are a newer model that will both upgrade to the new
radio system as well as work on the old. The radios are reconditioned and are
of a significant savings to the department due to cost compared to the new
purchase price. The new purchase price for the radio identified is
$5,741.73/each. The price for the reconditioned radio is $2481.81/each from
Sunny Communications, a savings of $3259.92 per radio. This allows us to
replace more radios than originally planned. The total for 16 reconditioned

Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Written Procurement for Radios
DATE: June 6, 2018
This is a written procurement determination recommendation under ordinance 2-644 for the
purchase of reconditioned radios. The radios being recommended to be purchased are Motorola
APX6000XE 3.5. The new purchase price from the local vendor who does not offer
reconditioned radios is $5,741.73 each. The price from the recommended vendor for
reconditioned radios is for $2,481.81 each. These radios are P25 phase II compliant that will
allow them to work on the new radio system being proposed and they will also work on our
current system. This significant savings on the price of the reconditioned radio through the
reseller justifies the purchase using the noncompetitive negotiation process. This is authorized
where competition is not feasible under ordinance 2-659 item (13) where the contract is for a sale
of supplies at reduced prices that will afford a purchase at savings to the city.

Background Information:
As part of the Investment Fund Decision Items for FY2018 (current year), the Commission approved
appropriation to fund the American Quilters Society for the 2018 Quilt Show in the amount of $25,000. When
the City provides funds to any organization, we prepare a simple Contract for Services agreement that describes
the public services the organization will provide as a result of receiving the City funds. In order to expedite and
simplify the process, the Paducah -McCracken County Convention Visitor Bureau (CVB) has agreed to act as a
conduit through which local agency funds may flow. Therefore, the City will need to execute a contract with
the CVB to handle the $25,000 payment.
nistory - in July Zuu/, the City verbally committed to a cash incentive of $25, 000 for the spring 2008 American Quilter
Society (AQS) Show. Other local agencies also committed funds to the AQS show. The funds were to be used to market
and promote events and venues related to the 2008 show.
On March 18, 2008 the City Commission authorized a municipal order committing $25, 000 in Commission contingency
funds to the 2008 AQS show.
This process was repeated in 2009-2017. This payment request/contract is for Quilt Show 2018.

® Municipal Order ❑ Resolution ❑ Motion
Background Information: In July 2016, the City of Paducah entered into a contract agreement with Commonwealth Economics
Partners, LLC (CE) to advise the city regarding the feasibility and fiscal impact of establishing a Tax Increment Financing District (TIF).
Since that time, city staff has been working with interested parties on the redevelopment of city owned property along or near the
Riverfront. In August 2017, the City entered into a preliminary development agreement with CityVisionsMeyland Ventures to create a
preliminary development plan and market analysis for the former Executive Inn Showroom lounge structure and the former Executive
Inn site along the Riverfront. Staff expects to entertain a proposal from CityVisiosnMeyland Ventures in late June 2018.
The Planning Department is proposing, in concert with the TIF project, to submit a grant application to the Transportation Cabinet for
funding under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018, also known as the BUILD Act (formally known as TIGER Grants). The
scope of the project is tentatively identified as construction of the Paducah -McCracken Co. Riverport's Trans -loading Area
Development Project, the construction of a steamboat excursion dock/landing, and development of the Paducah "Commons" concept
at the former Executive Inn site. A future request for action by Board of Commissioner regarding the grant application submittal will be
made once the project scope and costs have been finalized. Applications are due July 19, 2018.
As part of the application process, the city must complete a Benefit Cost Analysis. Therefore, the Planning Department is proposing to
employ CE for the completion of this analysis and replace and supersede the current contract. CE is a competent firm with well-
respected expertise in this subject matter. The Contract cannot exceed $78,000 and expires June 30, 2019.

Our Finance people have raised a question that revealed an issue that needs clarification in the latest proposal
document.
The list of services under Section I includes a new A but the B does not match the April 2016 contract. This is
okay but the fees listed in Section II only mention Section I(A). With the change in services, we believe it
would be clearer to state the fees applicable to Sections I(B-D) and include a statement that this contract
supersedes the April 2016 document.

I't sounds like you and Casey had a good conversation. I am going to try to make it but my calendar is
filling up quickly. Holding 17th or 18th for Paducah if you want me there. Please let us know when

Mayor Harless-
It was nice speaking with you this afternoon. As discussed, I have attached an example of the type of
external/public impact report that we typically put together, which would accompany the envisioned
project through grant and incentive application processes.
The attached Downtown Owensboro analysis and state TIF application required a collaborative effort
with different parties (University/College, City investments, non-profit, and private developers)
combining to be viewed as one wholistic project.
If the City elects to approve our contract, we would want to get a meeting scheduled in Paducah to
begin to put a plan in action. Unfortunately, because of MSRB rules, we will need the contract approved
before we are able to meet.
We should be able to get down to Paducah on the 17th or 18th with John included, or could look at the
24th, 25th, or 29th, 30th, or June 1st, and although John may not be able to make those dates, we
would have at least 2 other partners present (Brett and myself) who are very familiar with the project.
Please let us know thoughts and feel free to call any time to discuss.
Thank you -
Casey

Mayor Harless-
I think the BUILD program is certainly something that we could assist the City in pursuing. The new
application has not quite been fully unveiled yet, but will require information regarding the Project's
economic impacts throughout the region and its financing plan, two sections in which I think we can be
particularly useful.
The application will also require information on project costs, readiness, and technical feasibility, which
we would need assistance from other parties to complete. If you will be looking for engineering firms
with experience in these types of projects, we have some good options we can recommend in that field,
as well.
The due date for final applications is July 19th, which is a fairly tight timeline given the likely amount of
work left to define project scope that will be required for a competitive application. If we want to put a
team together, we should start the discussion sooner rather than later.
Let me know when you would like to discuss and we can schedule a call at your earliest convenience.
For your reference, I have attached the NOFO for the BUILD program, which offers a fairly
comprehensive explanation of the program and its requirements.
Thank you -
Casey

Hi John,
Thank you for this. I will speak with the Interim CM this week.
I am curious if you think your firm has the expertise to help with our BUILD application. This is the
program replacing the TIGER grants through DOT. I am exploring the idea of combining our riverfront
development/TIF ideas with the Riverport Authority's infrastructure needs and creating an "inland
waterway hub" with various types of economic development potential from retail/offices to
commercial/logistics. We are hiring a new person in planning that has worked with NYC waterfront
development projects. I think the pieces are there if we can put them together in the right way.
Thoughts?

Staff Work By: Michelle Smolen, Assistant to the City Manager
Presentation By: Michelle Smolen, Assistant to the City Manager
Background Information:
The City's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software Request for Proposals in 2015
included options for on-going support services in the form of additional training for the
departmental software leaders. Tyler Technologies responded with 18 post implementation
training days for the entire project, but the City did not initially include these training days in
the contract. The organization has been processing financials and budget in Munis for
approximately one year. The software leaders have identified a number of critical areas for
follow up training related to these areas. Additionally, it is anticipated that each of the six
Munis phases will require post implementation training to maximize the use of the software.
Therefore, the Project Manager is proposing to amend the Tyler Technologies Munis contract
to include the 18 post implementation days from the initial RFP response to be shared across
all phases.
