PRESENTATION
Mayor Bray presented a Duke of Paducah to Jonathon Pendergrass, Regional Program Manager at
the Paducah Career Center.
Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summaries of additional
presentations:
"FY2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Presentation
Finance Director Jonathan Perkins and David Hampton of Kemper CPA Group, LLP provided an overview
of the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report which includes the City audit. The audit is required by
State law; however, the Report is a voluntary document that the City prepares to provide additional
information and transparency to the public. The report is for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2023. The
audit states that there are no findings of deficiencies related to the financial statements. For 32 consecutive
years, Paducah has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from
the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA).
To learn more about Paducah's finances, Perkins suggests reading the following two documents:
• Annual Comprehensive Financial Report — specifically pages 14 through 29 of the most recent audit
• Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) —this is the first year for this summary document.
Perkins added a comparison of revenues and expenditures from the City's main operating fund, the General
Fund, for the past three years to show the good financial management by the City and growth in revenue.
Perkins said revenues are solid and trending in the positive direction. For FY2023, revenue exceeded city
expenditures by nearly $4.5 million."
"Paducah Public Schools Community Schools Grant Presentation
Community Schools Director Allen Treece for Paducah Public Schools outlined the Community Schools
grant and his role in this new position for the school district. Treece was named Community Schools Director
late last year with the position funded through a grant from the Prichard Committee's Kentucky Community
Schools Initiative. The goal is to boost education and economic well-being outcomes. Treece said the
program will work to get the community involved, review current educational programs, and look at ways to
reduce or remove educational barriers for our students. Twenty school districts including Paducah
Independent and McCracken County are included in this initiative. Treece says Morgan Elementary and
Paducah Tilghman High School will be the focus schools for Paducah. Treece explained that the first in a
series of community meetings to help support both the McCracken County and Paducah Public schools will
be in February.
January 23, 2024
Treece also discussed a proposed partnership with the City to bring back work -based learning through the
summer youth program. David Anderson attended the meeting and talked about the impact the Summer
Youth Program had on him as a youth."

"Joint City and County Workshop for Comprehensive Plan Update
PADUCAH — The Paducah Board of Commissioners and McCracken County Fiscal Court held a joint
workshop this evening at City Hall to receive a briefing from planning consultant Kendig Keast
Collaborative on the project to create a joint comprehensive plan that will guide area development,
redevelopment, and enhancement efforts over the next 10 to 20 years. Kendig Keast President and Project
Manager Gary Mitchell led the presentation.
In February 2023, the City of Paducah and McCracken County approved a 20 -year interlocal cooperation
agreement to establish a City/County Comprehensive Plan. Currently, each government agency has its own
comprehensive plan which is required by the State to be updated every five years.
Over the past year, Kendig Keast has gathered community input including holding a Forum on the Future
open house in June 2023 and launching an online survey last August and September. Kendig Keast is using
in-person feedback and the 1154 responses to the 24 -question online survey to help Paducah and McCracken
County develop a meaningful and long-range plan that digs into topics including future land use,
transportation, economic development, housing, and quality of life.
Mayor George Bray said, "The whole goal of this joint Comprehensive Plan is to see how we can grow
together."
The first half of today's joint meeting focused on the online Community Survey results. To read the survey
report and learn more about the comprehensive planning process, visit
https://paducahkygov/comprehensive-plan.
After reviewing in-person feedback and online survey results, Kendig Keast provided six planning themes
that will be addressed in the plan as the City and County look toward the future. The themes are as follows:
1. Make the area more attractive to retain, or regain, youth who grew up here and to attract younger
individuals and families.
a. Continue efforts to diversify the area's economic and employment base, for long-term
economic sustainability, and to offer a wider range of job options to current and prospective
residents.
b. Increase the quantity and variety of housing options.
2. Safe community.
3. Infrastructure conditions particularly for stormwater management.
4. Neighborhood and corridor revitalization.
January 25, 2024
5. Take great economic advantage of area's location and transportation assets.
6. Build on area's tourism success including through sustained commitment to arts, crafts, and culture.
As input continues to be gathered over the next several months, the City and County government agencies
will hold their third joint workshop regarding the plan in either May or June with the expectation of
reviewing a preliminary plan draft. The Comprehensive Plan is expected to be adopted by both agencies later
this year.

EXHIBIT `A'
CITY OF PADUCAH, KY
INVESTMENT POLICY
GENERAL POLICY:
It is the policy of the City of Paducah to invest public funds in a manner which will
provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily
cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all state and local statutes governing
the investment of public funds.
SCOPE:
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Paducah. These funds
are accounted for in the City of Paducah's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
(ACFR) and include all those funds outlined in Paducah's Administrative Policy FIN -20.
Authority to Invest:
Management responsibility for the City's investment program is delegated to the Finance
Director. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under
the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director. The
Finance Director shall be ultimately responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall
establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and
employees. The controls shall be designed to prevent and control losses of public funds
arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, and unanticipated
changes in financial markets or imprudent actions by officers and employees. The
Finance Director shall maintain all records related to the entity's investment program.
Prudent Person Rule:
Investments shall be made with judgment and care --under circumstances then prevailing-
-which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of
their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety
of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person"
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment
officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and
exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual
security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are
reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse
developments.
Investment Obiectives:
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Paducah's investment activities
shall be:
Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City of Paducah shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to
ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective,
diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual securities do
not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
Liquidity: The City of Paducah's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently
liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be
reasonably anticipated.
Return on Investments: The City of Paducah's investment port -folio shall be
designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout
budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk
constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.
Conflicts of Interest:
Government officials and employees of the City of Paducah involved in the investment
process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper
execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make
impartial investment decisions. Any personal investment or loans in excess of $250,000
in or with any entity that the City of Paducah has declared as a depository or regularly
conducts investment business with shall be filed with the City Clerk.
Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions:
The Finance Director shall maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide
investment services to the City of Paducah. In addition, a list shall also be maintained of
approved security broker/dealers selected by credit worthiness who are authorized to
provide investment services in the State of Kentucky.
All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to provide investment services to
the City of Paducah shall supply the Finance Director with information sufficient to
adequately evaluate the institution and answer any and all inquiries posed by the Finance
Director or the Mayor and City Commission, including the following information:
• Audited financial statements.
• Regulatory reports on financial condition.
Written memorandum of Agreement for the deposit of public funds or trading
resolution, as appropriate.
Proof of National Association of Security Dealers certification and proof of state
registration.
• Any additional information considered necessary to allow the Finance Director to
evaluate the creditworthiness of the institution.
A current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial institution
and broker/dealer in which the City of Paducah invests.
Authorized & Suitable Investments:
Consistent with the GFOA Policy Statement and Kentucky laws and city policies
concerning investment practices, the investments as defined by KRS 66.480, are
allowed.
• U.S. government obligations and instrumentalities including obligations
subject to repurchase, if delivery of these obligations is taken directly or
through an authorized custodian. KRS 66.480(1)(a).
• U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government obligations that carry the full faith and
credit guarantee of the United States for the payment of principal and interest.
KRS 66.480(1)(b).
• Federal Agency or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (GSE)
obligations, participations or other instruments. KRS 66.480(1)(c).
• CDs issued by or other interest-bearing accounts of any bank or saving and loan
institution having a physical presence in Kentucky and that are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar entity or that are collateralized by any
obligations, including surety bonds, permitted by KRS 41.240. KRS 66.480(1)(d).
• Bonds or certificates of indebtedness of this state and of its agencies and
instrumentalities. KRS 66.480(1)(h).

66.480(1)(j).

investment manager regulated by a federal regulatory agency and are
included within the S&P 500 pursuant to KRS 66.480(1)(k).
• Individual high-quality corporate bonds managed by aprofessional
investment manager pursuant to KRS 66.480(1)(1).
Collateralization:
Where allowed or required by Kentucky law full collateralization will be required on all
demand deposits, including checking accounts and negotiable (as authorized by
respective state statutes) and non-negotiable certificates of deposits. Acceptable
collateral for bank deposits and repurchase agreements shall include only:
• Obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and Government Sponsored
Enterprises (GSEs), including mortgage-backed securities; or
• Obligations of any state, city, county or authority rated at least AA by two
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
Safekeeping and Custody:
All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by
the City of Paducah shall be conducted on a delivery -versus -payment (DVP) basis.
Securities will be held by a third -party custodian designated safekeeping receipt.
Diversification of Investments:
The City of Paducah recognizes that some level of risk is inherent in any investment
transaction. Losses may be incurred due to issuer default, market price changes, or
closing investments prior to maturity due to unanticipated cash flow needs.
Diversification of the City of Paducah investment portfolio by institution, type of
investment instrument, and term to maturity is the primary method to minimize
investment risk.
Maximum Maturities:
To the extent possible, the City of Paducah will attempt to match its investment with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow need, the
City of Paducah's funds should not, in general, be invested in securities maturing more
than five years from the date of purchase.
Reserve funds may be invested in securities exceeding five years if the maturity of such
investments is made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of the
funds.
Internal Control:
In connection with the audit of City funds conducted by an independent certified public
accountant, the auditor shall review the City of Paducah's investment program, including
internal controls and procedures, and the results of the review, including recommended
changes, may be included in the City of Paducah's annual management advisory review
letter.
Performance Standards:
The city's investment management portfolio shall be designed with the levels of risk
appropriate to conform to performance benchmarks while meeting cash flow
demands and comply with state law.
Reporting:
The Finance Director or his designee is charged with the responsibility of preparing a
quarterly market report on investment activity. This report shall include:
• Name of financial institution from which the investment was purchased or in
which assets are deposited.
• Type of investment.
• Certificate or other reference number, if applicable.
• Percentage yield on an annualized basis.
• Purchase date, purchase price, and maturity date.
The Finance Director and his designees, before entering their duties as outlined in this
policy, shall execute a bond, with a good corporate surety, and general liability insurance
coverage, with limits no less than the City's general liability policy limits. The cost of
the bonds and insurance required under this section shall be borne by the City.
Investment Policy Adoption:
City of Paducah's investment policy shall be adopted by municipal order of the City of
Paducah's Mayor and Commission and shall become effective on the date set forth in the
order. The policy shall be reviewed annually and revised, as appropriate. Any
amendments to this policy must be made by order of the Board of Commissioners.

buying and selling for his own account.
DEBENTURE: A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT: There are two methods of delivery of securities:

payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery
versus receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the
securities.
DISCOUNT: The difference between the cost price of a security and its value at
maturity when quoted at a lower than face value. A security selling below original
offering price shortly after sale also is considered to be at a discount.

issued at a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value, e.g., U. S. Treasury
bills.
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment fiends among a variety of securities offering

that insures bank deposits, currently up to $250,000 per deposit.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash

the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at
those quotes.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be
purchased or sold.
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: A written contract covering all future
transactions between the parties to repurchase -- reverse repurchase agreements that

sales have the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve's most
important and most flexible monetary policy tool.
PORTFOLIO: Collection of securities held by an investor.
PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard. In some states, the law requires
that a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected by

one, which would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who is
seeking a reasonable income and preservation of capital.
PRIMARY DEALER: A group of government securities dealers that submit daily
reports of market activity and positions and monthly financial statements to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York and are subject to its informal oversight. Primary dealers
include Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered securities broker-dealers,
banks, and a few unregulated firms.
RATE OF RETURN: The yield obtainable on a security based on its purchase price or
its current market price. This may be the amortized yield to maturity on a bond or the
current income return.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP or REPO): A holder of securities sells these
securities to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed
date. The security "buyer" in effect lends the "seller" money for the period of the
agreement, and the terms of the agreement are structured to compensate him for this.
Dealers use RP extensively to finance their positions. Exception: When the Fed is said
to be doing RP, it is lending money that is, increasing bank reserves.

more than ten years.
TREASURY NOTES: Intermediate term coupon bearing U. S. Treasury securities
having initial maturities of from one to ten years.
YIELD: The rate of annual income return on an investment, expressed as a percentage.
(a) INCOME YIELD is obtained by dividing the current dollar income by the current
market price for the security. (b) NET YIELD or YIELD TO MATURITY is the
current income yield minus any premium above par or plus any discount from par in
purchase price, with the adjustment spread over the period from the date of purchase to
the date of maturity of the bond.
UNIFORM NET CAPITAL RULE: Securities and Exchange Commission
requirement that member firms as well as nonmember broker-dealers in securities

Short Title: Approve the EPAD Program Financing Agreement and Notice of Assessment for the Blockware
Mining, Inc. PACE Financing - L. PARISH & CHRISTOPHER JONES
Category: Municipal Order
Staff Work By: Lindsay Parish, Jonathan Perkins, Daron
Jordan, Christopher Jones
Presentation By: Christopher Jones, Lindsay Parish
Background Information: In May 2023, the City Commission approved Ordinance 2023-05-8774 to
establish an Energy Project Assessment District ("EPAD") spanning the City's jurisdictional boundaries.
EPADs are a tool that allow commercial property owners to repay private loans for energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and water conservation measures through a voluntary assessment administered by the City
of Paducah in the same manner as a property tax bill. The program allows property owners to secure more
favorable financing terms than traditional financing mechanisms. The City also designated Christopher Jones
with Energize Kentucky as the Program Administrator for Paducah.
In November, the City was notified that Blockware Mining, Inc. was the first property owner to submit an
application to utilize the EPAD for a project completed at 5657 Commerce Drive. Since the project has already
been completed, the PACE loan is used for refinancing purposes and can only be used to pay down existing
debt that funded the PACE -eligible improvements. Blockware submitted a formal program application, which
has been reviewed by the City and the Program Administrator. The application met all the eligibility
requirements for the EPAD program under State Law and Local Ordinance. The lender has agreed to make a
loan for the project for a term of 30 years. In order to allow Blockware to move forward with the PACE
financing, the City must approve an EPAD Program Financing Agreement with Blockware Mining and the
PACE Lender. The City must also approve the Notice of Assessment and List of PACE Assessments. Energize
Kentucky will act as Administrator on behalf of the City. There is no cost to the City for this program. All
administration costs will be passed along to the property owner.

Short Title: Adopt an Ordinance Creating a Natural Gas Franchise - M. SMOLEN
Category: Ordinance
Staff Work By: Michelle Smolen, Daron
Jordan, Lindsay Parish
Presentation By: Michelle Smolen
Background Information: The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Sections 163 and 164, and
Chapter 96 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes authorize cities to require public utilities, including providers of
natural gas, to operate under franchise agreements and to grant them the right to use public right-of-way upon
certain terms. Construction, operation, maintenance, and utilization of a natural gas franchise over, across, or
under public right-of-way benefits the utility company and its customers but can also cause gradual degradation
of the City's streets and sidewalks.
This item creates a new chapter in the City's Code of Ordinances to enact a Natural Gas Franchise. The
ordinance requires approved natural gas franchisees to make quarterly payments to the City of two percent
(2%) of the franchisee's revenues. The ordinance also requires any franchisee to repair any damage that they
cause to the right of way and restore the right-of-way to substantially its condition prior to the work beginning.
Upon passage of this ordinance, the City will advertise for bids for natural gas franchisees and bring back any
franchise agreements for Board of Commissioners approval.

authorizes the City to exercise any and all powers within its boundaries that are not in conflict

effective date hereof, and the Grantee shall furnish to the Grantor quarterly a statement of
Grantee's Revenues.

customers located within the geographical boundaries or limits of Grantor, which surcharge may

water, sewage and garbage services provided by the Grantor to Grantee, and any applicable

obligated to pay to the Grantor and shall be in lieu of any and all other costs, levies, assessments,
fees or other amounts, of any kind whatsoever, that the Grantor, currently or in the future, may
charge Grantee or assess against Grantee's property. The Franchise fee herein contemplated shall
be uniformly and equally applied to all natural gas utilities, of like services or any other natural
gas service that compete with the Grantee, such that Grantee will be excused from collecting and
paying Franchise fees and/or taxes if Grantee's competitors are not also required to do so.
(D) The Grantor, through its duly authorized representative and at all times
reasonable, shall have access to, and the right to inspect Grantee's books and records that are
necessary to confirm the accuracy of the amount of Franchise fee being paid to the City.
Sec. 24-10. — Service To New Areas.
If during the term of any Franchise granted pursuant to this Ordinance, the boundaries of
the Grantor are expanded, the Grantor will promptly notify Grantee in writing of any geographic
areas annexed by the Grantor during the term hereof ("Annexation Notice"). Any such
Annexation Notice shall be sent to Grantee by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall
contain the effective date of the annexation, maps showing the annexed area and such other
information as Grantee may reasonably require in ascertaining whether there exist any customers
of Grantee receiving natural gas service in said annexed area. To the extent there are such
customers therein, then the revenue of Grantee derived from the retail sale of natural gas to such
customers shall become subject to the Franchise fee provisions hereof effective on the first day
5
of Grantee's billing cycle immediately following Franchisee's receipt of the Annexation Notice.
The failure by the Grantor to advise Grantee in writing through proper Annexation Notice of any
geographic areas which are annexed by the Grantor shall relieve Grantee from any obligation to
remit any Franchise fees to Grantor based upon revenues derived by Grantee from the retail sale
of natural gas to customers within the annexed area prior to Grantor delivering an Annexation
Notice to Grantee in accordance with the terms hereof.
Sec. 24-11. — Breach of Franchise; Remedies.
In the event of a breach by Grantee of any material provision hereof, the Grantor may
terminate the Franchise and rights granted to Grantee hereunder, provided, however, that such
termination shall not be effective unless and until the procedures described below have been
followed:
(A) Grantor must deliver to Grantee, by certified or registered mail, a written notice
signed by the mayor or other duly authorized member of Grantor's governing body, attested by
the Grantor's secretary, and sealed with the official seal of the Grantor. Such notice must (i)
fairly and fully set forth in detail each of the alleged acts or omissions of Grantee that the
Grantor contends constitutes a substantial breach of any material provision hereof, (ii) designate
which of the terms and conditions hereof the Grantor contends Grantee breached, and (iii)
specify the date, time, and place at which a public hearing will be held by the governing body of
the Grantor for the purpose of determining whether the allegations contained in the notice did in
fact occur, provided, however, that the date of such hearing may not be less than thirty (30) days
after the date of such notice.
(B) Within thirty (30) days following the adjournment of the public hearing described

written notice signed by the mayor or other duly authorized member of Grantor's governing
body, attested by the Grantor's City Clerk, and sealed with the official seal of the Grantor,
setting forth (i) the acts and omissions of Grantee described in the first notice that the governing
body of the Grantor determines to have in fact occurred and (ii) the specific terms and conditions
hereof listed in the first notice that the governing body of the Grantor determines to have in fact
been breached by such acts or omissions of Grantee.(C) The Grantor must permit Grantee the
opportunity to substantially correct all of the breaches hereof set forth in the written notice
described in Subsection (B) above within sixty (60) days after Grantee's receipt of such notice.
Sec. 24-12. — ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS; MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(A) Grantee shall at all times indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor from and
against any and all lawful claims for injury to any person or property by reason of Grantee's or
its employees' failure to exercise reasonable care in installing, maintaining and operating the
System. Provided, however, that none of the provisions of this paragraph shall be applicable to
the extent the Grantor, its officials, officers, employees, contractors, or agents, were negligent
and such negligence was the sole or contributing factor in bringing about injury to any person or
property. In such event, any liability shall be apportioned between the Grantor and the Grantee
based upon the percentage of fault assigned to each by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(B) Subject to the City's option under Sec. 24-12(D), Grantee may remove all or any
part of its System upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise and rights granted hereby.
M
(C) Grantee may transfer or assign the Franchise created by this Ordinance to any
other person, proprietorship, partnership, firm or corporation with written notification to the
Grantor.
(D) If any section, subsection or provision of this Ordinance or any part thereof is for
any reason found or held to be in conflict with any applicable statute or rule of law, or is
otherwise held to be unenforceable, the invalidity of any such section, subsection or provision
shall not affect any or all other remaining sections and provisions of this Ordinance, which shall
remain in full force and effect.
(E) Any Franchise subject to this Ordinance shall extend to, be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.
(F) To the extent that any other ordinances of the Grantor or portions thereof are in
conflict or inconsistent with any of the terms or provisions hereof, then the terms of this
