RECOGNITION
PADUCAH GOLF COMMISSION

thanking him for serving on the Paducah Golf Commission since 1975. The Mayor also
presented Mr. Mitchell with a "Duke of Paducah."
REPORTS
PAXTON PARK GOLF COURSE FUNDING UPDATE
Danny Mullin, gave an update for the renovations of Paxton Park. The Park started
renovations in 2002. Turf grass has been upgraded, tees have been added, fairways have
been reconstructed, etc. Since that time the Board has been trying to get the Park to be
self-sufficient financially again but due to having purchased some equipment in the
winter they are requesting $36,000. This money will go back to their line of credit since
they borrowed the money to pay for the equipment.
The Commission will review the request and get back to Mr. Mullins.
CITY INTERN'S RECOMMENDATIONS ON MAKING PADUCAH
ATTRACTIVE TO YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
Carla Tabeling, City Manager's Intern, .offered recommendations for attracting young
professionals to Paducah. She pointed out that one of the City's goals, "Goal 5 -Great
Place to Live—A Fun City to Enjoy", is important in that attraction. According to Ms.
Tabeling's research young professionals are looking for a place to live first then finding a
job. She said the new skatepark, greenway trail, disc golf course, etc. will help in
drawing the younger professionals to our area. Other successes the City is doing or have
done are the Four Rivers Center, Art School Plans, Law School and others. Some of her
suggestions to the Commission to make Paducah more attractive is to continue to
promote Paducah as an Art Community, promote a young adult lifestyle, celebrate young
entrepreneurs and civic contributors, create opportunities for civic involvement. Other
interns who contributed to the information presented were Kevin Schreckengast,
Courtney Amos, Ehi Akojie, Brad McClellan, Meagan Fuller and Kevin Klepeis.
DISCUSSION: Draft Ordinance—Smoking Regulations in Public Places
Mayor Paxton reiterated the history of the proposed smoking ban ordinance. One of the
actions taken by the Commission in 2005 was to form a Voluntary Smoke Free Task
Force. The committee was created to try to get restaurants to go smoke free. The
committee has had some success but not enough. The proposed ordinance does ban
smoking in all public places and does not have any exemptions. The Commission
discussed exempting truck stops and bars. The Commission will hold a public forum on
August 22, 2006, and plans on introducing the ordinance on September 12th. (A copy of
the proposed ordinance is in the minute file.)
Commissioner Smith gave the following statement because he will abstain from the vote
on the smoking ban.
"I've served on this Commission for 10 years and during this Commission I've
never really avoided a controversial issue at all, I've embraced them, I've felt it
was my duty to. This particular issue is a very difficult one for me because I am a
sales manager for a food service distributor and all of our customers are
restaurants and bars. What it does is it ties me to the situation in a very economic
sense and which is the definition for a conflict of interest so I think as much as I
hate to do it I am going to have to abstain and pull myself from this issue because
it's the right thing to do."
