Systems and Jackson Purchase Electric assisting with reconnecting the citizens to
electricity after the January 2009 ice storm. Workers came from over 10 different states

PRESENTATION: City of Paducah Tree Voucher Program
Steve Ervin, Planning Director and Ben Peterson, Planner, distributed a draft of the Tree
Ice Storm Recovery Tree Planting Guide and Tree Voucher Program that Planning is
proposing the City initiate. This program would allow citizens a one- time voucher of
$25 toward the purchase of a tree to plant on private property. A request was made for
public funds and hopefully private funds will be donated to help offset the costs. Any
funds left over would be used for reforestation of public property.

specific proposal.
