CITY BLOCK DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION Public Information Officer, Pam Spencer, offered the following summary of the presentation: “City Block Development Agreement (vote August 11) The Paducah Board of Commissioners introduced an ordinance to approve a development agreement between the City and Weyland Ventures Development, LLC for the City Block project. This project includes the development of a hotel, parking, open space, and mixed-use residential buildings located on the 2.88-acre city-owned block bounded by Second Street, Broadway, North Water Street, and July 28, 2020 Jefferson Street. Bill Weyland and Barry Alberts with Weyland Ventures provided an overview of the company and its various projects including several projects completed in Louisville, Kentucky, and Dayton, Ohio. Alberts stated that Weyland Ventures likes Paducah and would like to do more projects after investing $21 million in the City Block project. In April 2019, the City and Weyland entered into a pre-development agreement for each party to undertake various site due diligence for the project including numerous stakeholder meetings, market and financial analysis, project development and design, environmental review and geotechnical analysis, and parking analysis. Under this development agreement, the project is divided into two construction phases. The city- owned block is divided into three tracts with Weyland purchasing the two smaller tracts (Tract 1 and Tract 3). The middle tract (Tract 2) is the largest which will remain under city ownership for parking and open space. The first phase includes Weyland purchasing Tract 1 for $141,000 for the construction of a 4 ½ story boutique hotel, with the final site plan showing 84 rooms, along Jefferson Street. Weyland will invest a minimum of $12 million in the hotel. The City will review the design of the hotel to ensure the design fits the fabric of the historic downtown. Also, during this first phase, Weyland will provide improvements to Tract 2 (the middle tract) to create green space, open space, and parking with the final site plan depicting 172 parking spaces. At this time, this parking lot offers 213 spaces. The City will retain ownership of Tract 2 and will reimburse Weyland for the development expenses. The second phase of this development is the construction of two mixed-use commercial and residential buildings along Broadway on Tract 3. Weyland will purchase Tract 3 for $155,000 and will invest a minimum of $9 million into this phase. Phase 2 could include approximately 18,000 square feet in commercial space with up to 48 upper-story residential units.” CITY BLOCK DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC COMMENTS Dujuan Thomas and George Bray offered comments opposing the project.

Under the CARES Act, the fund is to be used to make payments for specified uses to States and certain local governments. Governor Beshear is apportioning $300 million of the state's Coronavirus Relief Fund allocation for local government reimbursements. The maximum amount that the City of Paducah could receive is $1,786,875. Cities can seek compensation of COVID-related costs such as the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other medical and protective supplies, costs of COVID-19 testing, emergency medical response expenses, amounts spent on communication and enforcement of public health orders, costs of disinfecting public areas, and payroll expenses for public safety and health employees who have been dedicated to responding to the pandemic. The City desires to apply for reimbursements for the salaries of Police officers and firefighters beginning March 1 for the entire allotment. This a reimbursement which is for assumed COVID related expenses associated with the duties carried out by police and fire. These funds will be directed back to the General Fund (G/F).

The CARES Act established the Coronavirus Relief Fund (the “Fund”) and appropriated $150 billion to the Fund. Under the CARES Act, the Fund is to be used to make payments for specified uses to States and certain local governments; the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories (consisting of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands); and Tribal governments. The CARES Act provides that payments from the Fund may only be used to cover costs that— 1. are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19); 2. were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date of enactment of the CARES Act) for the State or government; and 3. were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020.2 The guidance that follows sets forth the Department of the Treasury’s interpretation of these limitations on the permissible use of Fund payments. Necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency The requirement that expenditures be incurred “due to” the public health emergency means that expenditures must be used for actions taken to respond to the public health emergency. These may include expenditures incurred to allow the State, territorial, local, or Tribal government to respond directly to the emergency, such as by addressing medical or public health needs, as well as expenditures incurred to respond to second-order effects of the emergency, such as by providing economic support to those suffering from employment or business interruptions due to COVID-19-related business closures. Funds may not be used to fill shortfalls in government revenue to cover expenditures that would not otherwise qualify under the statute. Although a broad range of uses is allowed, revenue replacement is not a permissible use of Fund payments. The statute also specifies that expenditures using Fund payments must be “necessary.” The Department of the Treasury understands this term broadly to mean that the expenditure is reasonably necessary for its intended use in the reasonable judgment of the government officials responsible for spending Fund payments. Costs not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 The CARES Act also requires that payments be used only to cover costs that were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020. A cost meets this requirement if either (a) the 1 This version updates the guidance provided under “Costs incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020”. 2 See Section 601(d) of the Social Security Act, as added by section 5001 of the CARES Act. 2 cost cannot lawfully be funded using a line item, allotment, or allocation within that budget or (b) the cost is for a substantially different use from any expected use of funds in such a line item, allotment, or allocation. The “most recently approved” budget refers to the enacted budget for the relevant fiscal period for the particular government, without taking into account subsequent supplemental appropriations enacted or other budgetary adjustments made by that government in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. A cost is not considered to have been accounted for in a budget merely because it could be met using a budgetary stabilization fund, rainy day fund, or similar reserve account. Costs incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020 Finally, the CARES Act provides that payments from the Fund may only be used to cover costs that were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020 (the “covered period”). Putting this requirement together with the other provisions discussed above, section 601(d) may be summarized as providing that a State, local, or tribal government may use payments from the Fund only to cover previously unbudgeted costs of necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID–19 public health emergency during the covered period. Initial guidance released on April 22, 2020, provided that the cost of an expenditure is incurred when the recipient has expended funds to cover the cost. Upon further consideration and informed by an understanding of State, local, and tribal government practices, Treasury is clarifying that for a cost to be considered to have been incurred, performance or delivery must occur during the covered period but payment of funds need not be made during that time (though it is generally expected that this will take place within 90 days of a cost being incurred). For instance, in the case of a lease of equipment or other property, irrespective of when payment occurs, the cost of a lease payment shall be considered to have been incurred for the period of the lease that is within the covered period, but not otherwise. Furthermore, in all cases it must be necessary that performance or delivery take place during the covered period. Thus the cost of a good or service received during the covered period will not be considered eligible under section 601(d) if there is no need for receipt until after the covered period has expired. Goods delivered in the covered period need not be used during the covered period in all cases. For example, the cost of a good that must be delivered in December in order to be available for use in January could be covered using payments from the Fund. Additionally, the cost of goods purchased in bulk and delivered during the covered period may be covered using payments from the Fund if a portion of the goods is ordered for use in the covered period, the bulk purchase is consistent with the recipient’s usual procurement policies and practices, and it is impractical to track and record when the items were used. A recipient may use payments from the Fund to purchase a durable good that is to be used during the current period and in subsequent periods if the acquisition in the covered period was necessary due to the public health emergency. Given that it is not always possible to estimate with precision when a good or service will be needed, the touchstone in assessing the determination of need for a good or service during the covered period will be reasonableness at the time delivery or performance was sought, e.g., the time of entry into a procurement contract specifying a time for delivery. Similarly, in recognition of the likelihood of supply chain disruptions and increased demand for certain goods and services during the COVID-19 public health emergency, if a recipient enters into a contract requiring the delivery of goods or performance of services by December 30, 2020, the failure of a vendor to complete delivery or services by December 30, 2020, will not affect the ability of the recipient to use payments from the Fund to cover the cost of such goods or services if the delay is due to circumstances beyond the recipient’s control. 3 This guidance applies in a like manner to costs of subrecipients. Thus, a grant or loan, for example, provided by a recipient using payments from the Fund must be used by the subrecipient only to purchase (or reimburse a purchase of) goods or services for which receipt both is needed within the covered period and occurs within the covered period. The direct recipient of payments from the Fund is ultimately responsible for compliance with this limitation on use of payments from the Fund. Nonexclusive examples of eligible expenditures Eligible expenditures include, but are not limited to, payment for: 1. Medical expenses such as: COVID-19-related expenses of public hospitals, clinics, and similar facilities. Expenses of establishing temporary public medical facilities and other measures to increase COVID-19 treatment capacity, including related construction costs. Costs of providing COVID-19 testing, including serological testing. Emergency medical response expenses, including emergency medical transportation, related to COVID-19. Expenses for establishing and operating public telemedicine capabilities for COVID-19- related treatment. 2. Public health expenses such as: Expenses for communication and enforcement by State, territorial, local, and Tribal governments of public health orders related to COVID-19. Expenses for acquisition and distribution of medical and protective supplies, including sanitizing products and personal protective equipment, for medical personnel, police officers, social workers, child protection services, and child welfare officers, direct service providers for older adults and individuals with disabilities in community settings, and other public health or safety workers in connection with the COVID-19 public health emergency. Expenses for disinfection of public areas and other facilities, e.g., nursing homes, in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Expenses for technical assistance to local authorities or other entities on mitigation of COVID-19-related threats to public health and safety. Expenses for public safety measures undertaken in response to COVID-19. Expenses for quarantining individuals. 3. Payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID- 19 public health emergency. 4. Expenses of actions to facilitate compliance with COVID-19-related public health measures, such as: Expenses for food delivery to residents, including, for example, senior citizens and other vulnerable populations, to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions. Expenses to facilitate distance learning, including technological improvements, in connection with school closings to enable compliance with COVID-19 precautions. Expenses to improve telework capabilities for public employees to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions. 4 Expenses of providing paid sick and paid family and medical leave to public employees to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions. COVID-19-related expenses of maintaining state prisons and county jails, including as relates to sanitation and improvement of social distancing measures, to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions. Expenses for care for homeless populations provided to mitigate COVID-19 effects and enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions. 5. Expenses associated with the provision of economic support in connection with the COVID-19 public health emergency, such as: Expenditures related to the provision of grants to small businesses to reimburse the costs of business interruption caused by required closures. Expenditures related to a State, territorial, local, or Tribal government payroll support program. Unemployment insurance costs related to the COVID-19 public health emergency if such costs will not be reimbursed by the federal government pursuant to the CARES Act or otherwise. 6. Any other COVID-19-related expenses reasonably necessary to the function of government that satisfy the Fund’s eligibility criteria. Nonexclusive examples of ineligible expenditures 3 The following is a list of examples of costs that would not be eligible expenditures of payments from the Fund. 1. Expenses for the State share of Medicaid.4 2. Damages covered by insurance. 3. Payroll or benefits expenses for employees whose work duties are not substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. 4. Expenses that have been or will be reimbursed under any federal program, such as the reimbursement by the federal government pursuant to the CARES Act of contributions by States to State unemployment funds. 5. Reimbursement to donors for donated items or services. 6. Workforce bonuses other than hazard pay or overtime. 7. Severance pay. 8. Legal settlements. 3 In addition, pursuant to section 5001(b) of the CARES Act, payments from the Fund may not be expended for an elective abortion or on research in which a human embryo is destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death. The prohibition on payment for abortions does not apply to an abortion if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or in the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed. Furthermore, no government which receives payments from the Fund may discriminate against a health care entity on the basis that the entity does not provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions. 4 See 42 C.F.R. § 433.51 and 45 C.F.R. § 75.306. 1 Coronavirus Relief Fund Frequently Asked Questions Updated as of June 24, 2020 The following answers to frequently asked questions supplement Treasury’s Coronavirus Relief Fund (“Fund”) Guidance for State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal Governments, dated April 22, 2020, (“Guidance”).1 Amounts paid from the Fund are subject to the restrictions outlined in the Guidance and set forth in section 601(d) of the Social Security Act, as added by section 5001 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). Eligible Expenditures Are governments required to submit proposed expenditures to Treasury for approval? No. Governments are responsible for making determinations as to what expenditures are necessary due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID-19 and do not need to submit any proposed expenditures to Treasury. The Guidance says that funding can be used to meet payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. How does a government determine whether payroll expenses for a given employee satisfy the “substantially dedicated” condition? The Fund is designed to provide ready funding to address unforeseen financial needs and risks created by the COVID-19 public health emergency. For this reason, and as a matter of administrative convenience in light of the emergency nature of this program, a State, territorial, local, or Tribal government may presume that payroll costs for public health and public safety employees are payments for services substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency, unless the chief executive (or equivalent) of the relevant government determines that specific circumstances indicate otherwise. The Guidance says that a cost was not accounted for in the most recently approved budget if the cost is for a substantially different use from any expected use of funds in such a line item, allotment, or allocation. What would qualify as a “substantially different use” for purposes of the Fund eligibility? Costs incurred for a “substantially different use” include, but are not necessarily limited to, costs of personnel and services that were budgeted for in the most recently approved budget but which, due entirely to the COVID-19 public health emergency, have been diverted to substantially different functions. This would include, for example, the costs of redeploying corrections facility staff to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions through work such as enhanced sanitation or enforcing social distancing measures; the costs of redeploying police to support management and enforcement of stay-at-home orders; or the costs of diverting educational support staff or faculty to develop online learning capabilities, such as through providing information technology support that is not part of the staff or faculty’s ordinary responsibilities. Note that a public function does not become a “substantially different use” merely because it is provided from a different location or through a different manner. For example, although developing online instruction capabilities may be a substantially different use of funds, online instruction itself is not a substantially different use of public funds than classroom instruction. 1 The Guidance is available at https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/Coronavirus-Relief-Fund-Guidance-for- State-Territorial-Local-and-Tribal-Governments.pdf. 2 May a State receiving a payment transfer funds to a local government? Yes, provided that the transfer qualifies as a necessary expenditure incurred due to the public health emergency and meets the other criteria of section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. Such funds would be subject to recoupment by the Treasury Department if they have not been used in a manner consistent with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. May a unit of local government receiving a Fund payment transfer funds to another unit of government? Yes. For example, a county may transfer funds to a city, town, or school district within the county and a county or city may transfer funds to its State, provided that the transfer qualifies as a necessary expenditure incurred due to the public health emergency and meets the other criteria of section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance. For example, a transfer from a county to a constituent city would not be permissible if the funds were intended to be used simply to fill shortfalls in government revenue to cover expenditures that would not otherwise qualify as an eligible expenditure. Is a Fund payment recipient required to transfer funds to a smaller, constituent unit of government within its borders? No. For example, a county recipient is not required to transfer funds to smaller cities within the county’s borders. Are recipients required to use other federal funds or seek reimbursement under other federal programs before using Fund payments to satisfy eligible expenses? No. Recipients may use Fund payments for any expenses eligible under section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance. Fund payments are not required to be used as the source of funding of last resort. However, as noted below, recipients may not use payments from the Fund to cover expenditures for which they will receive reimbursement. Are there prohibitions on combining a transaction supported with Fund payments with other CARES Act funding or COVID-19 relief Federal funding? Recipients will need to consider the applicable restrictions and limitations of such other sources of funding. In addition, expenses that have been or will be reimbursed under any federal program, such as the reimbursement by the federal government pursuant to the CARES Act of contributions by States to State unemployment funds, are not eligible uses of Fund payments. Are States permitted to use Fund payments to support state unemployment insurance funds generally? To the extent that the costs incurred by a state unemployment insurance fund are incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, a State may use Fund payments to make payments to its respective state unemployment insurance fund, separate and apart from such State’s obligation to the unemployment insurance fund as an employer. This will permit States to use Fund payments to prevent expenses related to the public health emergency from causing their state unemployment insurance funds to become insolvent. 3 Are recipients permitted to use Fund payments to pay for unemployment insurance costs incurred by the recipient as an employer? Yes, Fund payments may be used for unemployment insurance costs incurred by the recipient as an employer (for example, as a reimbursing employer) related to the COVID-19 public health emergency if such costs will not be reimbursed by the federal government pursuant to the CARES Act or otherwise. The Guidance states that the Fund may support a “broad range of uses” including payroll expenses for several classes of employees whose services are “substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.” What are some examples of types of covered employees? The Guidance provides examples of broad classes of employees whose payroll expenses would be eligible expenses under the Fund. These classes of employees include public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Payroll and benefit costs associated with public employees who could have been furloughed or otherwise laid off but who were instead repurposed to perform previously unbudgeted functions substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency are also covered. Other eligible expenditures include payroll and benefit costs of educational support staff or faculty responsible for developing online learning capabilities necessary to continue educational instruction in response to COVID-19-related school closures. Please see the Guidance for a discussion of what is meant by an expense that was not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020. In some cases, first responders and critical health care workers that contract COVID-19 are eligible for workers’ compensation coverage. Is the cost of this expanded workers compensation coverage eligible? Increased workers compensation cost to the government due to the COVID-19 public health emergency incurred during the period beginning March 1, 2020, and ending December 30, 2020, is an eligible expense. If a recipient would have decommissioned equipment or not renewed a lease on particular office space or equipment but decides to continue to use the equipment or to renew the lease in order to respond to the public health emergency, are the costs associated with continuing to operate the equipment or the ongoing lease payments eligible expenses? Yes. To the extent the expenses were previously unbudgeted and are otherwise consistent with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance, such expenses would be eligible. May recipients provide stipends to employees for eligible expenses (for example, a stipend to employees to improve telework capabilities) rather than require employees to incur the eligible cost and submit for reimbursement? Expenditures paid for with payments from the Fund must be limited to those that are necessary due to the public health emergency. As such, unless the government were to determine that providing assistance in the form of a stipend is an administrative necessity, the government should provide such assistance on a reimbursement basis to ensure as much as possible that funds are used to cover only eligible expenses. 4 May Fund payments be used for COVID-19 public health emergency recovery planning? Yes. Expenses associated with conducting a recovery planning project or operating a recovery coordination office would be eligible, if the expenses otherwise meet the criteria set forth in section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance. Are expenses associated with contact tracing eligible? Yes, expenses associated with contract tracing are eligible. To what extent may a government use Fund payments to support the operations of private hospitals? Governments may use Fund payments to support public or private hospitals to the extent that the costs are necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, but the form such assistance would take may differ. In particular, financial assistance to private hospitals could take the form of a grant or a short-term loan. May payments from the Fund be used to assist individuals with enrolling in a government benefit program for those who have been laid off due to COVID-19 and thereby lost health insurance? Yes. To the extent that the relevant government official determines that these expenses are necessary and they meet the other requirements set forth in section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance, these expenses are eligible. May recipients use Fund payments to facilitate livestock depopulation incurred by producers due to supply chain disruptions? Yes, to the extent these efforts are deemed necessary for public health reasons or as a form of economic support as a result of the COVID-19 health emergency. Would providing a consumer grant program to prevent eviction and assist in preventing homelessness be considered an eligible expense? Yes, assuming that the recipient considers the grants to be a necessary expense incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and the grants meet the other requirements for the use of Fund payments under section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance. As a general matter, providing assistance to recipients to enable them to meet property tax requirements would not be an eligible use of funds, but exceptions may be made in the case of assistance designed to prevent foreclosures. May recipients create a “payroll support program” for public employees? Use of payments from the Fund to cover payroll or benefits expenses of public employees are limited to those employees whose work duties are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. May recipients use Fund payments to cover employment and training programs for employees that have been furloughed due to the public health emergency? Yes, this would be an eligible expense if the government determined that the costs of such employment and training programs would be necessary due to the public health emergency. 5 May recipients use Fund payments to provide emergency financial assistance to individuals and families directly impacted by a loss of income due to the COVID-19 public health emergency? Yes, if a government determines such assistance to be a necessary expenditure. Such assistance could include, for example, a program to assist individuals with payment of overdue rent or mortgage payments to avoid eviction or foreclosure or unforeseen financial costs for funerals and other emergency individual needs. Such assistance should be structured in a manner to ensure as much as possible, within the realm of what is administratively feasible, that such assistance is necessary. The Guidance provides that eligible expenditures may include expenditures related to the provision of grants to small businesses to reimburse the costs of business interruption caused by required closures. What is meant by a “small business,” and is the Guidance intended to refer only to expenditures to cover administrative expenses of such a grant program? Governments have discretion to determine what payments are necessary. A program that is aimed at assisting small businesses with the costs of business interruption caused by required closures should be tailored to assist those businesses in need of such assistance. The amount of a grant to a small business to reimburse the costs of business interruption caused by required closures would also be an eligible expenditure under section 601(d) of the Social Security Act, as outlined in the Guidance. The Guidance provides that expenses associated with the provision of economic support in connection with the public health emergency, such as expenditures related to the provision of grants to small businesses to reimburse the costs of business interruption caused by required closures, would constitute eligible expenditures of Fund payments. Would such expenditures be eligible in the absence of a stay-at-home order? Fund payments may be used for economic support in the absence of a stay-at-home order if such expenditures are determined by the government to be necessary. This may include, for example, a grant program to benefit small businesses that close voluntarily to promote social distancing measures or that are affected by decreased customer demand as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency. May Fund payments be used to assist impacted property owners with the payment of their property taxes? Fund payments may not be used for government revenue replacement, including the provision of assistance to meet tax obligations. May Fund payments be used to replace foregone utility fees? If not, can Fund payments be used as a direct subsidy payment to all utility account holders? Fund payments may not be used for government revenue replacement, including the replacement of unpaid utility fees. Fund payments may be used for subsidy payments to electricity account holders to the extent that the subsidy payments are deemed by the recipient to be necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and meet the other criteria of section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance. For example, if determined to be a necessary expenditure, a government could provide grants to individuals facing economic hardship to allow them to pay their utility fees and thereby continue to receive essential services. 6 Could Fund payments be used for capital improvement projects that broadly provide potential economic development in a community? In general, no. If capital improvement projects are not necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, then Fund payments may not be used for such projects. However, Fund payments may be used for the expenses of, for example, establishing temporary public medical facilities and other measures to increase COVID-19 treatment capacity or improve mitigation measures, including related construction costs. The Guidance includes workforce bonuses as an example of ineligible expenses but provides that hazard pay would be eligible if otherwise determined to be a necessary expense. Is there a specific definition of “hazard pay”? Hazard pay means additional pay for performing hazardous duty or work involving physical hardship, in each case that is related to COVID-19. The Guidance provides that ineligible expenditures include “[p]ayroll or benefits expenses for employees whose work duties are not substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.” Is this intended to relate only to public employees? Yes. This particular nonexclusive example of an ineligible expenditure relates to public employees. A recipient would not be permitted to pay for payroll or benefit expenses of private employees and any financial assistance (such as grants or short-term loans) to private employers are not subject to the restriction that the private employers’ employees must be substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. May counties pre-pay with CARES Act funds for expenses such as a one or two-year facility lease, such as to house staff hired in response to COVID-19? A government should not make prepayments on contracts using payments from the Fund to the extent that doing so would not be consistent with its ordinary course policies and procedures. Must a stay-at-home order or other public health mandate be in effect in order for a government to provide assistance to small businesses using payments from the Fund? No. The Guidance provides, as an example of an eligible use of payments from the Fund, expenditures related to the provision of grants to small businesses to reimburse the costs of business interruption caused by required closures. Such assistance may be provided using amounts received from the Fund in the absence of a requirement to close businesses if the relevant government determines that such expenditures are necessary in response to the public health emergency. 7 Should States receiving a payment transfer funds to local governments that did not receive payments directly from Treasury? Yes, provided that the transferred funds are used by the local government for eligible expenditures under the statute. To facilitate prompt distribution of Title V funds, the CARES Act authorized Treasury to make direct payments to local governments with populations in excess of 500,000, in amounts equal to 45% of the local government’s per capita share of the statewide allocation. This statutory structure was based on a recognition that it is more administratively feasible to rely on States, rather than the federal government, to manage the transfer of funds to smaller local governments. Consistent with the needs of all local governments for funding to address the public health emergency, States should transfer funds to local governments with populations of 500,000 or less, using as a benchmark the per capita allocation formula that governs payments to larger local governments. This approach will ensure equitable treatment among local governments of all sizes. For example, a State received the minimum $1.25 billion allocation and had one county with a population over 500,000 that received $250 million directly. The State should distribute 45 percent of the $1 billion it received, or $450 million, to local governments within the State with a population of 500,000 or less. May a State impose restrictions on transfers of funds to local governments? Yes, to the extent that the restrictions facilitate the State’s compliance with the requirements set forth in section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance and other applicable requirements such as the Single Audit Act, discussed below. Other restrictions are not permissible. If a recipient must issue tax anticipation notes (TANs) to make up for tax due date deferrals or revenue shortfalls, are the expenses associated with the issuance eligible uses of Fund payments? If a government determines that the issuance of TANs is necessary due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the government may expend payments from the Fund on the interest expense payable on TANs by the borrower and unbudgeted administrative and transactional costs, such as necessary payments to advisors and underwriters, associated with the issuance of the TANs. May recipients use Fund payments to expand rural broadband capacity to assist with distance learning and telework? Such expenditures would only be permissible if they are necessary for the public health emergency. The cost of projects that would not be expected to increase capacity to a significant extent until the need for distance learning and telework have passed due to this public health emergency would not be necessary due to the public health emergency and thus would not be eligible uses of Fund payments. Are costs associated with increased solid waste capacity an eligible use of payments from the Fund? Yes, costs to address increase in solid waste as a result of the public health emergency, such as relates to the disposal of used personal protective equipment, would be an eligible expenditure. May payments from the Fund be used to cover across-the-board hazard pay for employees working during a state of emergency? No. The Guidance says that funding may be used to meet payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Hazard pay is a form of payroll expense and is subject to this limitation, so Fund payments may only be used to cover hazard pay for such individuals. 8 May Fund payments be used for expenditures related to the administration of Fund payments by a State, territorial, local, or Tribal government? Yes, if the administrative expenses represent an increase over previously budgeted amounts and are limited to what is necessary. For example, a State may expend Fund payments on necessary administrative expenses incurred with respect to a new grant program established to disburse amounts received from the Fund. May recipients use Fund payments to provide loans? Yes, if the loans otherwise qualify as eligible expenditures under section 601(d) of the Social Security Act as implemented by the Guidance. Any amounts repaid by the borrower before December 30, 2020, must be either returned to Treasury upon receipt by the unit of government providing the loan or used for another expense that qualifies as an eligible expenditure under section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. Any amounts not repaid by the borrower until after December 30, 2020, must be returned to Treasury upon receipt by the unit of government lending the funds. May Fund payments be used for expenditures necessary to prepare for a future COVID-19 outbreak? Fund payments may be used only for expenditures necessary to address the current COVID-19 public health emergency. For example, a State may spend Fund payments to create a reserve of personal protective equipment or develop increased intensive care unit capacity to support regions in its jurisdiction not yet affected, but likely to be impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic. May funds be used to satisfy non-federal matching requirements under the Stafford Act? Yes, payments from the Fund may be used to meet the non-federal matching requirements for Stafford Act assistance to the extent such matching requirements entail COVID-19-related costs that otherwise satisfy the Fund’s eligibility criteria and the Stafford Act. Regardless of the use of Fund payments for such purposes, FEMA funding is still dependent on FEMA’s determination of eligibility under the Stafford Act. Must a State, local, or tribal government require applications to be submitted by businesses or individuals before providing assistance using payments from the Fund? Governments have discretion to determine how to tailor assistance programs they establish in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. However, such a program should be structured in such a manner as will ensure that such assistance is determined to be necessary in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency and otherwise satisfies the requirements of the CARES Act and other applicable law. For example, a per capita payment to residents of a particular jurisdiction without an assessment of individual need would not be an appropriate use of payments from the Fund. May Fund payments be provided to non-profits for distribution to individuals in need of financial assistance, such as rent relief? Yes, non-profits may be used to distribute assistance. Regardless of how the assistance is structured, the financial assistance provided would have to be related to COVID-19. May recipients use Fund payments to remarket the recipient’s convention facilities and tourism industry? Yes, if the costs of such remarketing satisfy the requirements of the CARES Act. Expenses incurred to publicize the resumption of activities and steps taken to ensure a safe experience may be needed due to 9 the public health emergency. Expenses related to developing a long-term plan to reposition a recipient’s convention and tourism industry and infrastructure would not be incurred due to the public health emergency and therefore may not be covered using payments from the Fund. May a State provide assistance to farmers and meat processors to expand capacity, such to cover overtime for USDA meat inspectors? If a State determines that expanding meat processing capacity, including by paying overtime to USDA meat inspectors, is a necessary expense incurred due to the public health emergency, such as if increased capacity is necessary to allow farmers and processors to donate meat to food banks, then such expenses are eligible expenses, provided that the expenses satisfy the other requirements set forth in section 601(d) of the Social Security Act outlined in the Guidance. The guidance provides that funding may be used to meet payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. May Fund payments be used to cover such an employee’s entire payroll cost or just the portion of time spent on mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency? As a matter of administrative convenience, the entire payroll cost of an employee whose time is substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency is eligible, provided that such payroll costs are incurred by December 30, 2020. An employer may also track time spent by employees related to COVID-19 and apply Fund payments on that basis but would need to do so consistently within the relevant agency or department. Questions Related to Administration of Fund Payments Do governments have to return unspent funds to Treasury? Yes. Section 601(f)(2) of the Social Security Act, as added by section 5001(a) of the CARES Act, provides for recoupment by the Department of the Treasury of amounts received from the Fund that have not been used in a manner consistent with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. If a government has not used funds it has received to cover costs that were incurred by December 30, 2020, as required by the statute, those funds must be returned to the Department of the Treasury. What records must be kept by governments receiving payment? A government should keep records sufficient to demonstrate that the amount of Fund payments to the government has been used in accordance with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. May recipients deposit Fund payments into interest bearing accounts? Yes, provided that if recipients separately invest amounts received from the Fund, they must use the interest earned or other proceeds of these investments only to cover expenditures incurred in accordance with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act and the Guidance on eligible expenses. If a government deposits Fund payments in a government’s general account, it may use those funds to meet immediate cash management needs provided that the full amount of the payment is used to cover necessary expenditures. Fund payments are not subject to the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1990, as amended. May governments retain assets purchased with payments from the Fund? 10 Yes, if the purchase of the asset was consistent with the limitations on the eligible use of funds provided by section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. What rules apply to the proceeds of disposition or sale of assets acquired using payments from the Fund? If such assets are disposed of prior to December 30, 2020, the proceeds would be subject to the restrictions on the eligible use of payments from the Fund provided by section 601(d) of the Social Security Act. Are Fund payments to State, territorial, local, and tribal governments considered grants? No. Fund payments made by Treasury to State, territorial, local, and Tribal governments are not considered to be grants but are “other financial assistance” under 2 C.F.R. § 200.40. Are Fund payments considered federal financial assistance for purposes of the Single Audit Act? Yes, Fund payments are considered to be federal financial assistance subject to the Single Audit Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 7501-7507) and the related provisions of the Uniform Guidance, 2 C.F.R. § 200.303 regarding internal controls, §§ 200.330 through 200.332 regarding subrecipient monitoring and management, and subpart F regarding audit requirements. Are Fund payments subject to other requirements of the Uniform Guidance? Fund payments are subject to the following requirements in the Uniform Guidance (2 C.F.R. Part 200): 2 C.F.R. § 200.303 regarding internal controls, 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.330 through 200.332 regarding subrecipient monitoring and management, and subpart F regarding audit requirements. Is there a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number assigned to the Fund? Yes. The CFDA number assigned to the Fund is 21.019. If a State transfers Fund payments to its political subdivisions, would the transferred funds count toward the subrecipients’ total funding received from the federal government for purposes of the Single Audit Act? Yes. The Fund payments to subrecipients would count toward the threshold of the Single Audit Act and 2 C.F.R. part 200, subpart F re: audit requirements. Subrecipients are subject to a single audit or program- specific audit pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.501(a) when the subrecipients spend $750,000 or more in federal awards during their fiscal year. Are recipients permitted to use payments from the Fund to cover the expenses of an audit conducted under the Single Audit Act? Yes, such expenses would be eligible expenditures, subject to the limitations set forth in 2 C.F.R. § 200.425. If a government has transferred funds to another entity, from which entity would the Treasury Department seek to recoup the funds if they have not been used in a manner consistent with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act? The Treasury Department would seek to recoup the funds from the government that received the payment directly from the Treasury Department. State, territorial, local, and Tribal governments receiving funds from Treasury should ensure that funds transferred to other entities, whether pursuant to a grant program 11 or otherwise, are used in accordance with section 601(d) of the Social Security Act as implemented in the Guidance.

During the performance of this agreement, the Contractor agrees as follows: The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or age. The Contractor further agrees to comply with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Public Law 101-336, and applicable federal regulations relating thereto prohibiting discrimination against otherwise qualified disabled individuals under any program or activity. The Contractor agrees to provide, upon request, needed reasonable accommodations.

Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following; employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensations; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, Document Description Page 21 2100000433 Paducah Center Point 20-006 available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause. In all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, the Contractor will, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or disability. The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he/ she has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising the said labor union or workers' representative of the Contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. The Contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance. The Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965 as amended, and of the rules, regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor. The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended, and by the rules, regulations and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations and orders.

Procurement transactions, regardless of method or dollar value, will maximize open and free competition. The Grantee/Subrecipient shall not engage in procurement practices that may be considered restrictive in trade. Purchases will be reviewed by the Treasurer to prevent duplication and to insure that costs are reasonable. 1. Methods for Procurement Procurements shall be made by one of the following methods: (a) small purchase procedures, (b) competitive sealed bids, (c) competitive negotiation, (d) non-competitive negotiation. A. SMALL PURCHASES For purchases of less than $50, efforts will be made to get the lowest and best price, but written records of such efforts are not necessary. Purchases that cost more than $50 but less than $20,000 require quotations of rate, price, etc., but no legal advertisement is required. The Grantee/Subrecipient will solicit responses from at least three vendors. If written responses are not available, a statement explaining the procurement will be prepared and filed. If quotations are obtained via telephone, a memorandum will be prepared setting forth the date the calls were made, parties contacted, and prices obtained. The Grantee/Subrecipient will make the award to the lowest responsive and responsible source, and enter into a contract formalizing the scope of work and terms of compensation. B. COMPETITIVE SEALED BIDS Bidding will be employed when detailed specifications for the goods or services to be procured can be prepared and the primary basis for award is cost. When the cost of a contract, lease or other agreement for materials, supplies, equipment or contractual services other than those personal or professional exceeds $20,000, an Invitation for Bids (IFB) notice will generally be prepared. Per KRS 424.120, this notice will be published at least once in a qualifying official newspaper 2 of general circulation within the community. This newspaper notice will appear not less than seven (7) days and not more than twenty- one (21) days before the due date for bid proposals. In addition, the Grantee/Subrecipient must solicit sealed bids from responsible prospective suppliers by distributing a copy of such notice to them. The IFB will include a general description of the goods or services to be procured, the bid deposit and bond performance required (if applicable), the location where bid forms and specifications may be secured, the time and place for opening bids, and whether the bid award will be made on the basis of the lowest bid price or the lowest evaluated price. If the lowest evaluated price is used, the measurable criteria to be utilized must be stated in the IFB. The newspaper notice must also contain language that calls to the attention of bidders all applicable requirements that must be complied with such as Section 3 of the 1968 Housing Act, Section 109 of the 1974 Housing and Community Development Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 11246 and the Davis-Bacon Act. Sealed bids will be opened in public at the time and place stated in the IFBs. The Grantee/Subrecipient will tabulate the bids at the time of bid opening. The results of the tabulation and the bid documents will be evaluated by the review committee, which will make recommendations to the Grantee/Subrecipient. The Grantee/Subrecipient will make a firm fixed-price contract award in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. After the Grantee/Subrecipient makes the bid award, a contract will be prepared for execution by the successful bidder. After the contract is signed, all bid deposits will be returned to all unsuccessful bidders. The Grantee/Subrecipient may cancel an Invitation for Bid or reject all bids if it is determined in writing that such is in the best interests of the Grantee/Subrecipient. The Grantee/Subrecipient may allow a vendor to withdraw a bid if requested at any time prior to the bid opening. Bids received after the time set for bid opening shall be returned to the vendor unopened. Bid Overages: The following options are available for awarding a bid following an overage: 1) Obtaining additional funds from another source and continuing with the original IFB. 3 2) Rejecting all bids, revising project scope and bid specifications, and issuing a revised IFB (competitive sealed bid) open to the entire public; or 3) Conducting competitive negotiations with all bidders. (Grantees must seek pre-approval from DLG for this option). Competitive negotiations under option (3) must take place under the following criteria: 1. If discussions pertaining to the revision of the specifications or quantities are held with any bidder, all of the bidders shall be afforded an opportunity to take part in such discussions. 2. After discussions with the bidders, the grantee shall revise the scope of work accordingly and issue an RFP open to all bidders, providing for expedited proposals. No advertisement is required, but the grantee shall allow at least seven days for bidders to submit proposals. 3. The RFP shall be awarded on the basis of lowest bid price. C. COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION The Grantee/Subrecipient may utilize competitive negotiations, regardless of contract amount, upon a written determination that: 1. Specifications cannot be made specific enough to permit the award of a bid on the basis of either the lowest bid price or the lowest evaluated bid price (in other words, bidding is not feasible). 2. The services to be procured are professional or personal in nature. The use of the competitive negotiations procurement method for contracts other than architectural, engineering, planning or administrative services must be pre-authorized by DLG. With the exception of procurement of certain professional services (principally engineering services), competitive negotiations will proceed as follows: 1. Proposals will be solicited through a qualifying official newspaper advertisement; additionally, a Request for 4 Proposal (RFP) may be prepared and mailed to qualified vendors. The newspaper advertisement must be published at least seven (7) days and not more than twenty-one (21) days before the date for receipt of the proposals. The RFP will describe services needed and identify the factors to be considered in the evaluation of proposals and the relative weights assigned to each selection factor. The RFP will also state where further details regarding the RFP may be obtained. The RFP will call attention to the same regulations discussed in the bidding process. Requests for proposals will always include cost as a selection factor except for engineering services. 2. Award must be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined by the review committee to be most advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered. Evaluations must be based on the factors set forth in the Request for Proposal and a written evaluation of each response prepared. The review committee may contact the firms regarding their proposals for the purpose of clarification and record in writing the nature of the clarification. If it is determined that no acceptable proposal has been submitted, all proposals may be rejected. New proposals may be solicited on the same or revised terms or the procurement may be abandoned. For the procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services, an alternative to RFPs may be used. The Grantee/Subrecipient may publish a Request for Qualifications. RFQs are handled in a similar method to RFPs with the exception that cost is not a factor in the initial evaluation. A review committee will evaluate the responses and rank them by comparative qualifications. The highest scoring person or firm will be contacted and the selection committee will negotiate cost. If the committee is unable to negotiate a satisfactory cost arrangement, the second highest scoring person or firm will be invited to negotiate. The committee will maintain a written record of all such negotiations. D. NON-COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATIONS Non-competitive negotiation is procurement through solicitation of a proposal from one source, and is often referred to as sole source procurement. A contract may be awarded by noncompetitive negotiation only when the award is infeasible under small purchase procedures, competitive sealed bids, or competitive negotiations and one of the following circumstances applies: 5 1. There is some public emergency that will not permit delay resulting from competitive solicitation (the grantee must declare an emergency as authorized by law); or 2. The results of the competitive negotiations are inadequate; or 3. The product or service is available only from a single source. Caution: The use of the non-competitive negotiations procurement method must be authorized by DLG. The following requirements apply to the non-competitive negotiations procurement process: 1. Negotiations must be conducted with the selected company regarding a scope of work and price; and 2. Preparation and signing of a contract formalizing a scope of work and the terms of compensation is required. II. CONTRACTS Generally, all procurement in excess of $500 will be memorialized and supported by a written contract. Where it is infeasible or impractical to prepare a contract, a written finding to this effect will be prepared and a purchase order regarding the transaction will also be prepared. The contractual provisions required by "The Common Rule" will be included in all contracts and purchase orders. III. DOCUMENTATION All source documents supporting any given transaction (receipts, purchase orders, invoices, RFP/RFQ data, and bid materials) will be retained and filed in an appropriate manner. Where feasible, source documents pertinent to each individual procurement shall be separately filed and maintained. Where it is infeasible to maintain individual procurement files, source documents will be filed and maintained in a reasonable manner (examples include chronologically, by vendor, by type of procurement, etc.). Whatever form of documentation and filing is employed, the purpose of this section is to insure that a clear and consistent audit trail is established. At a minimum, source document data must be sufficient to establish the basis for selection, basis for cost (including the issue of reasonableness of cost) and basis for payment. IV. LOCALLY OWNED, MINORITY OWNED, FEMALE OWNED AND SMALL BUSINESSES The Grantee/Subrecipient shall make and document efforts to solicit participation of locally owned, minority owned, female owned and small businesses. Where 6 feasible, evaluation criteria will include a factor with an appropriate weight for these firms. A list of locally owned, minority owned, female owned and small businesses and also minority businesses located within the trade region shall be maintained and utilized when issuing IFBs, RFPs and RFQs. The Grantee/Subrecipient shall also consult this list when making small purchases. VI. SECTION 3 Grantee/Subrecipient shall abide by its Section 3 action plan and shall, to the maximum extent feasible, as required by 24 CFR Part 135, award contracts to businesses that provide economic opportunities for low and very low-income persons residing in the project area. VII. CODE OF CONDUCT A. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST In addition to the prohibitions set forth in 24 CFR 570.489(h) and 24 CFR 85.36(b)(3), the following prohibitions shall apply: It shall be a breach of ethical standards for any employee with procurement authority to participate directly in any proceeding or application; request for ruling or other determination; claim or controversy; or other particular matter pertaining to any contract, or subcontract, and any solicitation or proposal therefor, in which to his knowledge: (a) He, or any member of his immediate family has a financial interest therein; or (b) A business or organization in which he or any member of his immediate family has a financial interest as an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee, is a party; or (c) Any other person, business, or organization with whom he or any member of his immediate family is negotiating or has an arrangement concerning prospective employment is a party.

(5) It shall be a breach of ethical standards for any public employee or former employee knowingly to use confidential information for his actual or anticipated personal gain, or the actual or anticipated personal gain of any other person. B. PENALTIES Any elected official, employee or designated agent of the Grantee/Subrecipient who knowingly and deliberately violates the provisions of this code will be open to civil suit without the legal protection of the Grantee/Subrecipient. Furthermore, such a violation of these procurement standards is grounds for dismissal by the Grantee/Subrecipient. Any contractor or potential contractor who knowingly and deliberately violates the provisions of these procurement standards will be barred from future transactions with the Grantee/Subrecipient.

On March 13, 2020, HDR Engineering on behalf of the City of Paducah issued a stop work order to Huffman Construction for work on the Pump Station #2 Rehabilitation project due to non-responsiveness on the part of Huffman Construction to inquiries regarding non-payment of vendors. On May 6, 2020, the City notified Huffman Construction of a declaration of default through letter prepared by David Kelly as legal counsel to the City. The City subsequently terminated the contract with Huffman Construction through ratification by the Paducah Board of Commissioners of Ordinance 2020-05-8638 on May 26, 2020. On July 28, 2020, the Engineering Department opened bids for the Flood Pump Station #2 Rehabilitation project. Three (3) bids were received as follows: CJ Mahan Construction Company, LLC: $4,392,300.00 Pace Contracting, LLC: $4,500,000.00 Crowder Construction Company: $4,743,000 CJ Mahan's bid was rejected after being considered non-responsive due to an exclusion statement being included in their bid proposal on a lump sum bid. Pace Contracting's bid was the next lowest and as such is considered the lowest responsive bid. It is imperative that the City finalize the construction contract and get the project moving forward as quickly as possible. Pump Station #2 is currently at 50% of its maximum capacity and the lead time for the replacement pumps is 32-36 weeks. Work must be performed during July-August of 2021 due to Ohio River stages. HDR Engineering, the Design Engineer of Record, vetted each bid for responsiveness and compliance with grant authorities and to ensure all bid components were accurately submitted. After careful consideration, HDR Engineering recommends Pace Contracting, LLC be awarded the project on the basis that Pace Contracting is the lowest responsive bidder as well as has similar project experience, capacity to perform the project scope and the necessary resources to deliver a successful project. Does this Agenda Action Item align with a Strategic Plan Action Step? Yes If yes, please list the Action Step Item Codes(s): I-2: Continue implementation of the USACE/City of Paducah $32M Local Flood Protection Project (LFPP) Restoration Funds Available:Account Name: Pump Station #2 Rehab Account Number: FW0014 Staff Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor to execute a contract with Pace Contracting, LLC in the amount of $4,500,000.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents that correspond to the contract.

Supplemental Information CJ Mahan Construction Company, LLC provided a supplemental attachment within their bid. Include in this document were “Assumptions” and “Exclusions” they made in preparation of their Lump Sum Bid. Of specific concern is Item 1 under Exclusions detailed below: “Contractor has excluded repair of concrete roof from pricing. Once the existing roof is removed and field measurements are taken, pricing will be submitted to the City for approval.” It is the Engineer’s opinion, based on this statement, that any work for the concrete roofing repair is not included in their Lump Sum Bid and its cost inclusion will be requested at later date through a Change Order request. This type of corresponds is not customary nor consistent with Lump Sum Bidding practices. hdrinc.com 401 West Main Street, Suite 500 Louisville, KY 40202-2936 T 502.909.3234 F 502.909.3235 Recommendation Under Section III. Information for Bidders Item No. 5 Contractors are directed “to provide a lump sum bid for work consisting of Rehabilitation of Flood Pump Station #2 and associated levee/discharge piping work.” By definition a Lump Sum Bid shall include the cost for the project in its entirety based on plans and specifications, unless noted or designated differently by the Owner/Engineer. The repair of the concrete roof was never noted for exclusion from the Lump Sum Bid. In fact, the following Q&As were provided during the bidding period further cementing that associated costs should have been included: Q#15: General Note #7 on Sheet X004 says, “The costs associated with concrete repair and sealing of exposed rebar repair shall be included in the contractors bid. No additional payment will be made for these items.” Will there be unit price items for specific concrete repair methods on the Bid Form? A#15: No. Q#59: From our site visit pictures, it appears that the concrete ridge beams have been removed at the one roof opening where the corrugated skylight was removed and replaced with a temporary cover. Is the Contractor expected to form and pour new ridge beams and if so, please provide details of what is required? A#59: Yes As Builts of the PS depicting this beam have been supplied on OneDrive. If the Contractor has another idea they may bring this forward upon Notice of Award. By clearly stating that the Lump Sum Bid omits a portion of the required scope or work outlined in the Contract Documents, and inferring that the Contractor will seek it’s inclusion at a later date through a Change Order is grounds for deeming this Bid Non- Responsive. For this reason the Engineer’s recommendation it proceed with awarding the Contract to the second (2nd) lower bidder, Pace Contracting, LLC in the Lump Sum amount of $4,500,000.00. Please let me know if you have any questions comments or need additional information. Sincerely, Kyle Guthrie, P.E.

ADDRESS 401 Walter Jetton Boulevard CASE NO. ZON2020-064 & VAR2020-065 OWNER The Jetton Schoolhouse Limited Partnership APPLICANT Marian Development Group AGENT --- REQUEST Zone change from R-3 Medium Density Residential Zone to B-3 General Business Zone & variance of parking standards STAFF REPORT (continued) page 2 of 2 Vicinity Map Zone Map STAFF REPORT (continued) page 3 of 3 CONSIDERATIONS The Petitioner requests to rezone the 89,061 square foot (2.04 acres) lot from R-3 Medium Density Residential Zone to B-3 General Business Zone to adaptively reuse the historic school building. The building is proposed to contain 60 apartment units, a venue for the Paducah Symphony Orchestra and artist set-up, intermittent retail and studio space. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS KRS 100.213 “Before any map amendment is granted, the planning commission or the legislative body or fiscal court must find that the map amendment is in agreement with the adopted comprehensive plan, or, in the absence of such a finding, that one or more of the following apply and such finding shall be recorded in the minutes and records of the Planning Commission or the legislative body or fiscal court: (a) That the existing zoning classification given to the property is inappropriate and that the proposed zoning classification is appropriate; (b) That there have been major changes of an economic, physical or social nature within the area involved which were not anticipated in the adopted comprehensive plan and which have substantially altered the basic character of such area. “ The proposed rezoning to B-3 General Business Zone is in compliance with the City of Paducah Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Map STAFF REPORT (continued) page 4 of 4 SITE DESIGN The building is proposed to house 40 one-bedroom apartment units and 20 two-bedroom apartment units. Symphony Auditorium and the former library would be renovated into a community service facility providing administrative offices, education and training spac es, and performance space for two arts organizations. Symphony Auditorium currently contains approximately 1,020 seats; however the number of seats will be reduced upon renovation and to create other spaces. The Paducah Symphony Orchestra (PSO) would be one of the arts organizations, using space for their administrative offices and the hall as a secondary performance space. The Carson Center would still be the PSO primary performance venue. A second arts organization is also proposed to occupy and program the space. The purpose of the zone change petition is to allow this unique combination of uses. These types of land uses are all permitted in the B-3 General Business Zone, of which the east side of Walter Jetton Boulevard is zoned. This is an example of an adaptive reuse: reimagining a historic property as a new use to fit the modern business climate and housing needs. With the change to a modern business climate and housing needs comes the need to accommodate modern parking demands as well. In the past, students would walk to school. However, parking is now required for the aforementioned uses. PARKING VARIANCE REQUEST VAR2020-065 The Planning Commission has the authority to hear and decide variances when submitted as part of a rezoning request, pursuant to Section 126-176 (e) of the Paducah Zoning Ordinance. Further, in Section 126-71(j), the Planning Commission is authorized to adjust requirements for mixed use projects to take advantage of differences in the timing of parking demand. The petitioner has submitted a parking variance for the Commission’s consideration. Staff has calculated the off-street parking requirements to be 471 spaces needed for the tenant spaces, performance venue and artist space. The petitioner, who has significant experience in adaptive reuse of historic properties, has submitted a parking analysis supporting the request to reduce the number of off-street parking spaces required to 179 spaces. This is a total reduction request of 292 parking spaces. Based on one space for every three seat, the Symphony Auditorium would require 340 spaces. Symphony Auditorium currently contains 1,020 seats. The Petitioner has requested a reduction of 240 spaces to 100 spaces provided. This equates to approximately one space for every 10 seats. The PSO indicates they would need approximately 300 seats three times a month. However, there is the possibility of Symphony Auditorium selling out twice a year. The Petitioner would be willing to seek a shared use agreement with the McCracken County Courthouse two blocks away in the event of Symphony Auditorium selling out. Based upon STAFF REPORT (continued) page 5 of 5 their staffing and programming activities, the PSO has indicated that 11 spaces would be needed on a daily basis. PARKING DEMAND Required Off-street spaces by Ordinance Petitioner’s Analysis Community Service Facility Performance area 1 space/ 3 seats = 1,020/3 = 340 Regularly scheduled use 300 seats / 3 = 100 Administrative offices 1 space / 222 sf = 2 Arts educational area 1 space/300 sf = 2,600/300 = 9 1 space/300 sf = 2,600/300 = 9 60 residential units 2 spaces / unit = 120 1 sp / 1BR unit = 40 x1 = 40 1.5 sp / 2BR unit = 20 x1.5 = 30 Total 471 spaces 179 spaces The artist space would require nine spaces based on one space per 300 square feet. The artist space would contain 2,600 square feet. However, for daily operations, in conjunction with the PSO, the Petitioner has also determined that 20 spaces would be needed for both the PSO and the artist space: eleven spaces would be required for the PSO operations described above and nine spaces for the artist space. The apartments would by ordinance require 120 spaces, based on two spaces per unit. The building is proposed to contain 40 one-bedroom apartments and 20 two-bedroom apartments. The Petitioner has requested the number be reduced to 70 spaces, based on one space per each one-bedroom apartment and 1.5 spaces for each two-bedroom apartment. The Petitioner has drawn upon their experience in metropolitan areas and best practices to determine that 70 spaces would be sufficient. The Petitioner has further stated public transit is available and is currently being utilized by the existing residents. The Jetton Schoolhouse is currently on the Green Line of the Paducah Area Transit System. The PATS trolley currently stops at the Jackson House, which is one block away. The Petitioner reasons that many of the current tenants will move back into the Jetton Schoolhouse after renovation and the new tenants will have similar incomes and transportation needs. Bike racks are also being proposed in support of an alternative method of transportation. There is a discrepancy in parking shown on the site plan and on the parking proximity map. For the purposes of discussing the parking waiver, staff has utilized the parking proximity map as it references lots and the number of potential parking spaces. Nine ADA spaces are proposed to be constructed on-site. The Petitioner is proposing parallel parking on one-side of the street along Clark Street and Bronson Avenue that surround the site, and both parallel and perpendicular parking along Gould Avenue yielding 44 spaces. STAFF REPORT (continued) page 6 of 6 PARKING SUPPLY Notes Off-street spaces within 400’ of site 42 spaces On-site 9 ADA spaces Gould Lot (by agreement) 33 spaces Off-street spaces over 400’ away City Park lot (by agreement) 47 spaces On-street spaces 174 spaces Walter Jetton Blvd 71 spaces Gould Ave 27 spaces Reduce by 10 for maneuverability Bronson St 7 spaces Clark St 10 spaces Other streets in area 59 spaces Reduce by 18 for existing residents Totals 263 spaces Net 245 spaces A total of 130 spaces are identified on Walter Jetton Boulevard and surrounding streets. However, staff has some initial concerns. Residents living on the west side of Walter Jetton Blvd on the next block north, have no rear access to their properties. Neither do the residents on the north side of Clark Street across from the school or the one home on South 11 th Street. On-street parking is necessary for a total of nine homes in these three blocks. This proposed plan does not consider existing residents parking needs. If each residence has two cars, a reasonable reduction of 18 on-street spaces can be made. Further, Staff has concerns regarding the parking on Gould Avenue. Gould Avenue has a 50’ Right-of-Way and both parallel and 90-degree parking is proposed. Seventeen spaces are proposed. However, in accordance with the zoning ordinance, the 90-degree spaces must be a minimum of 18’ long with a 24’ back up space. This only leaves 8’ for the parallel parking, which does not meet the minimum width of 10’ as required by 126 -71 (g) (8) (c) (4). Therefore, approximately 10 spaces would be lost, bringing the number of on-street spaces to 146. The Petitioner has reached an agreement with the Paducah City Schools Board of Education to utilize the lot known as the Gould lot. This lot contains approximately 33 spaces. A total of 106 spaces can be utilized for on-site parking, parking along Gould Avenue, in the Gould Avenue lot and in the Parks Department lot. As a note, the Parks Department lot is outside of the 400’ radius as required by the Paducah Zoning Ordinance; however, this is a unique situation which would need special attention to reasonable, available parking opportunities. With the aforementioned reduction in spaces, a total of 2 45 parking spaces can be accommodated with street parking, on-site parking, the Gould Avenue parking lot and the Parks parking lot. This number is above the parking demand number of 179 parking spaces. STAFF REPORT (continued) page 7 of 7 Notable considerations include the fact that the everyday usage of the site under the proposal would generate parking demands that are easily accommodated. It is the special event element that would potentially strain parking supply to which the applicant has demonstrated a reasonable response. Secondly, the site regardless of any use can only provide a token amount of parking on-site. Staff acknowledges and appreciates the adaptive reuse of this historic structure. Staff also understands that for a feasible project to work with available funding sources, sometimes standards must be deviated from so long as the project will not have a dramatic negative impact to the neighborhood. Because of the structure’s historical significance to the City of Paducah , the fact that most of the nearby homes have alley or street access to the rear of their properties or can be afforded on-street accommodation, and the PSO programming of only two potentially sell-out events, staff recommend approval of the parking variance. PADUCAH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan shows not only this parcel, but the parcels around it as well, to change to commercial uses over time. Goals of the City of Paducah Comprehensive Plan are:  Increase the rate of population growth above those of projections and trends analysis.  Provide for adequate land to support more than 30 years of residential development. Ensure a wide range of community character types that provide attractive residential opportunities for a full range of life styles and incomes.  Manage growth to reduce the cost of supporting new development with costly infrastructure and services. The proposed apartments are supported by these goals, in addition to being supported by the Future Land Use Map. Infill development would further these goals by utilizing more fully our existing infrastructure (streets, sewer, drainage, etc.), provide a unique housing choice and it provides housing close to downtown which enhances the downtown core economy. The return to Symphony Auditorium by the PSO would be an event filled with nostalgia. The PSO was founded in 1979 and a return to their original venue, in a secondary capacity, would enhance and solidify this facet of Paducah’s history by providing much needed space for practice, lessons and administrative functions. As an arts community, the retention and expansion of the arts is paramount to the culture of Paducah. A goal in the Comprehensive Plan, with supporting objectives, speaks to this aspect: Goal: Link economic development initiatives and quality-of-life initiatives together.  Sustain and enhance existing community character. STAFF REPORT (continued) page 8 of 8  Continue leveraging character to expand the tourism sector.  Encourage the use and adaptive reuse of historic and other buildings for both commercial and residential use. EXCERPT FROM THE PADUCAH ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 126-109. GENERAL BUSINESS ZONE, B-3. The purpose of this zone is to provide an area for high intensity commercial activity of a wholesale nature and to ensure easy highway access for such uses. (1) Principal permitted uses. a. Any use permitted in the B-2 zone b. Wholesale establishments c. Automotive equipment sales and repair d. Laundry and dry-cleaning establishments e. Light industrial operations (as approved by the Planning Commission according to degree of objectionable smoke, noise, odor, glare, vibration and heavy freight traffic generation). (2) Minimum yard requirements. None. (3) Minimum area requirements. None. (4) Maximum building height. None. (5) Screening requirements. See section 126-72. (6) Parking requirements. See section 126-71. STAFF REPORT (continued) page 9 of 9 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Because parking can be reasonably met and the Comprehensive Plan supports the rezoning of the property, staff is recommending approval. However, as properties change over time, the protection of this area of Paducah is important as it is on the edge of a single-family neighborhood and makes a transition to the commercial uses along Kentucky Avenue. For this reason, staff would further recommend a condition be placed on the rezoning to not allow automotive uses at any point in the future, due to outdoor display, light spillover and potential noxious uses next to the neighborhood. Looking northeast into the site Looking northwest into the site Looking northeast into the site Looking northwest into the site STAFF REPORT (continued) page 10 of 10 Based upon the above, staff recommends the following motion: I move that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Commission case ZON2020-064 pertaining to 401 Walter Jetton Boulevard be rezoned to the B-3 zoning classification. I further move the following findings of fact be adopted:  The use of multi-family; symphony venue and artist space are found in the B-3 Zone;  The proposed rezoning to the B-3 Classification is in compliance with the City of Paducah Comprehensive Plan.  The parcels around this site are proposed to change to commercial uses over time as shown on the Future Lane Use Map;  The uses proposed in the building are supported by the City of Paducah Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives.  The school building is proposed to be adaptively reused, thereby providing infill development, enhancing the downtown economy and adding population to the City of Paducah as a whole. I further move that a condition be placed on this rezoning to not allow automotive uses of any type in the future; and I further move that a parking waiver variance be granted to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 471 spaces to 179 spaces based on the following findings of fact:  Reasonable on-street parking can be provided 400 feet from the property;  Nine homes that require on-street parking can be accommodated;  Most existing homes are served by existing alleys or streets to the rear of the properties;  The Parks Department has entered into an agreement to allow the usage of the Midtown Golf Course parking lot as overflow parking;  The City of Paducah Board of Education has entered into an agreement to allow the usage of the Gould Avenue parking lot as overflow parking;  The Paducah Symphony Orchestra anticipates only requiring 300 seats for most of it’s performances;  The apartments consist of 40 one-bedroom apartments and 20 two-bedroom apartments, thereby reducing the need for vehicular parking;  The site is on the Green Line PATS route and also the PATS trolley stops at the Jackson House, one block away Jackson HouseSchool Soccer FieldMaint.Annex City ParkLot (47)Soccer LotBus Maintenance Staff Lot (33)GRAVELGRAVELMidtown Park Golf & Disc GolfGarageCourthouse Lot (300+/-)SITESITE400 FEET400 FEET400 FEETWB SandersGould Lot(33)7 ADA 2 ADAClark StAdams StWashington StOscar Cross AveSouth 9Th StSouth 8Th StWalter Jetton BlvdSouth 11Th StSouth 12Th StWalter Jetton BlvdStaff Exhibit: Parking in Nearby Area200 0 200100 Feet4Document Path: R:\Planning\55 GIS\Land Use\Base Map -- Exhibits.mxdTime: 5:21:52 PMSolid Red outline = available by parking agreementDotted Red outline = public parkingBrown Dotted line = 400' distance from edge of site Tan = buildings Agenda Action Form Paducah City Commission Meeting Date: August 25, 2020 Short Title: Amend Code of Ordinances Section 26-31 and Section 26-34 related to Oak Grove Cemetery - L PARISH Category: Ordinance Staff Work By: Claudia Meeks, Lindsay Parish Presentation By: Lindsay Parish Background Information: The City Clerk's office (in collaboration with the Paducah Parks Department) oversees the creation of deeds for plots in Oak Grove Cemetery. This ordinance cleans up certain wording in the ordinance to clarify the definition of a deed within this context. In order to align with best practices and to clarify wording, this ordinance defines the word "deed" as a document or instrument which conveys a license use and access for sepulchre only, and does not convey a fee interest in the land of the lot. This change is part of a larger initiative to update the process of plot sales for Oak Grove Cemetery. Does this Agenda Action Item align with a Strategic Plan Action Step?
