Commissioners approve consent agenda, adopt CDBG budget amendment
Summary
Paducah commissioners unanimously approved a multi-item consent agenda and adopted an amendment to the 2024–25 annual operating budget to increase the CDBG fund by $200,000 during the April 21 meeting.
The Paducah Board of Commissioners voted unanimously April 21 to approve the meeting consent agenda and to adopt an ordinance amending the fiscal 2024–25 operating budget to increase Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) revenues and expenditures by $200,000.
The consent agenda bundled routine approvals and contract authorizations, including municipal orders to: contract with Temps Plus Inc. for temporary and seasonal staffing; hire Tesco Solutions to rewire data cabling in City Hall; initiate requests for proposals (RFPs) for repair and replacement of light poles and for custodial services in city parks facilities; initiate an RFP for recruitment services for the Hotel Metropolitan executive director position; and to pay Ackley Defense Inc. $123,450 for 220 Hesco Bastions to protect the Julian Carroll Convention & Expo Center during the 2025 flood.
Mayor George P. Bray asked the city clerk to call the roll before the consent vote. Roll-call responses recorded Commissioner Ray Henderson, Commissioner Smith, Commissioner Thomas, Commissioner Wilson and Mayor Bray voting “Aye.” The ordinance adopting the budget amendment — read by the city clerk as an amendment to ordinance 2024-O68815 — passed on the same unanimous roll call.
City staff did not identify separate debate on the individual consent items during the meeting; the commission moved and seconded the consent agenda as a single package. The budget amendment was a single-line adjustment described in the clerk’s reading as an increase of $200,000 to the CDBG fund’s revenues and expenditures for fiscal year 2024–25.
The ordinance introduction items that followed were read and scheduled for further consideration; they were not adopted at this meeting.
