10 Ms. Walker said the ADDs would work with the Department for Local Government (DLG) to obtain approved training hours for local elected officials. Ms. Walker then shared with the Board that the ADDs took a small group of ADD Finance Officers and Auditors from the Pennyrile, Green River, KIPDA, and Kentucky River ADDs to meet with senior staff members of the Kentucky Auditor of Public Account s (APA) office. She explained that this was in reaction to the 2016 legislative session and in anticipation of the 2017 legislative session. She reported that the APA staff was comfortable with the information in the ADDs audits but has suggested standardization of formats and also a prerelease review. Ms. Walker explained that the pre-release review might create some timing issues with when completed and approved audits are due to the state Cabinets, but said conversations were continuing. Ms. Walker next updated the Board on the status of the Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) and Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) contracts. She explained that both these contracts come through the DLG and usually are among the first contracts received. Ms. Walker reported that DLG Commissioner Sandra Dunahoo had, in July, shared maps with the ADDs showing the Appalachian Regional Council (ARC) distressed counties in Kentucky, further stating that part of the state was doing well and part was not and that DLG was looking at reallocating resources to help the part of the state that was not doing well. Ms. Walker said that last Thursday, Mr. Darrell Link, KCADD Executive Director, and Mike Miller, DLG/KIA Committee Chairman, had met with Commissioner Dunahoo and she told them that DLG planned to take state general fund dollars and match all federal funds first, as done currently, and then divide the remaining unmatched state general fund dollars 15 ways. Ms. Walker then provided a brief explanation of the origin of the JFA, which began in She first noted that the JFA funding is the core funding the ADDs have to provide services to local governments, such as Public Administration and grant writing services. She said that the state general fund dollars provided through DLG match federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) funds and federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that all 15 ADDs receive, as well as ARC funds that 9 ADDs in the eastern part of the state receive. She further explained that the remaining unmatched state general fund dollars have been distributed amongst the 15 ADDs in a formula agreed upon by the 15 ADDs. Ms. Walker shared that the original formula has been lost and as there have been cuts over the years and as matching dollar needs have increased or decreased over the years, the formula has been backed into in an effort to continue to fund the same level of staff service each ADD historically has provided. Ms. Walker noted that the Purchase ADD receives the least JFA funding of all 15 ADDs and explained that this is because the ARC match means that a 5 county ADD in the east would have more JFA funds to provide local government services than an 8 county ADD in the west. She then informed the Board that dividing the remaining unmatched state JFA funds 15 equal ways Purchase ADD: November 21, 2016 Page 8

11 means a loss of approximately $20,000 or a 10% cut in funds to provide services to local governments in the Purchase ADD. After some discussion, Ms. Walker stated that the ADDs were asking the Commissioner to wait until FY18 to implement this change since we already are at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year. At the same time, the non-arc ADDs are working to create a datadriven, return on investment position paper to try to counter the current plan. Ms. Walker concluded the discussion by telling the Board she would keep them updated. Finally, Ms. Walker reminded the Board of the upcoming Annual PADD Fish Fry scheduled for Thursday, September 29 th at noon at Columbus Belmont State Park and of the Open Records/Open Meetings/Records Management Training scheduled for Thursday, October 27 th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the PADD.

The site for the siren is located on city owned property where the fire/police station is located. The physical address is 340 Browder Street. The siren is being installed on an existing pole where a siren is currently hanging. The existing siren will be removed and replaced with a new siren. STATE FUNDS: LOCAL FUNDS: OTHER FUNDS: PROGRAM INCOME: Reviews: TOTAL FUNDS: $13, Brad, Davis Comments KY City of Murray Jack, Rose (270) CALLOWAY DOT FEDERAL FUNDS: $799, Status: Complete CFDA #: APPLICANT FUNDS: $199, Project Title: Narrative: Reviews: Murray US 641 (North 12th Street) Sidewalk Improvements Project The project will begin near Murray State University at the intersection of US 641 and KY 121 and continue north along the west side of US 641 (12th Street). Major components of the sidewalk extension include extension of a 14'x7'x7' box culvert over a tributary of Bee Creek and construction of a 100-ft single span pedestrian bridge over Bee Creek. The sidewalk will continue to the north and turn to the west along the west side of Stadium View Drive before terminating at Diuguid Drive. Preliminary plans are attached to the application and labeled Exhibit A. The proposed sidewalk will provide safe connectivity from the Murray State University campus to the south and a residential neighborhood on the north end of the project to several commercial and special use properties including University Church of Christ, Wal Mart Supercenter, Lowes, Kroger, several restaurants, Apple Tree School, and Fern Terrace Lodge, an assisted living community. Pedestrians are currently forced to use the shoulder of US 641 when walking to reach any of these destinations. While US 641 has a 10-ft shoulder, vehicles often use this for a right turn lane or for refuge during an emergency. With traffic volumes in excess of 22,000 vpd, the shoulder is not a safe location for pedestrians. Moreover, the proposed sidewalk improvements are a vital component to providing future connectivity to residential areas north of the project. The enclosed Attachment A includes the City of Murray's Sidewalk Master Plan which shows the existing sidewalk network along with sidewalks proposed as part of this grant and other future expansion. The City's previous planning efforts helped to determine which project was a priority and will provide the most benefit to the community. This project will be a catalyst for future expansion of the existing sidewalk infrastructure and connectivity in the community.

They engage in these activities for both recreation and fitness but are reluctant to rely on cycling or walking as a primary form of transportation because most of our roadways aren t design for their use. We are working to develop a non-motorized transportation infrastructure that better accommodates their needs. The result will be a network of safe multi-use pathways where cyclists and pedestrians can commute through town without being exposed to motorized vehicular traffic. Our multi-use bikeway network will connect the County Fairgrounds in the north part of Mayfield GPS , ) with Kess Creek Park and the YMCA facility in the south (GPS , ). The network will join all of the public parks in town along with the elementary, middle and high schools, the county library, senior centers and major shopping areas. The bikeway will utilize widened sidewalks along city rights of way, marked bike lanes with permanent curbed planters as physical boundaries near landmark areas, marked lanes with flexible poles embedded in the pavement and, most importantly, protected crosswalks at major intersections. It will be well lighted and well patrolled so that citizens will feel safe while commuting at any time of day or night. It will be a social and economic benefit to our town as it attracts bicycle tourists along with people seeking a town with progressive transportation facilities in which to relocate a business or in which to retire. It will also help promote revitalization projects in semi-blighted areas through which part of the bikeway travels. This is a cooperative venture and appointees to our Mayfield Bikeway Commission will be selected from organizations throughout our town including the YMCA, the Kiwanis Club of Mayfield, the Laurel Oak Garden Club and the Mayfield Graves Tourism Commission. The coordinator for the project is Richard Watson, director of the Icehouse Gallery, home of the Mayfield Graves County Art Guild. The Icehouse Gallery sponsors numerous non-art activities including the Kiwanis Club s annual century bicycle tour called BAM! (Bike Around Mayfield), the club s annual fundraiser that takes place on the Fourth of July. Watson is also on the advisory board for the Mayfield Middle School s CARDS After School program that is designed to encourage academic and athletic pursuits among young children. He is also a permanent member of the Mayfield Graves Tourism Commission, an organization committed to promoting business and tourism in our community. Members of the garden club will maintain "green spots" along the entire bikeway.

61 Contact: Mary Anne Medlock Office: For Immediate Release November 17, 2016 Hickman-Fulton County Riverport Authority Welcomes New Crane On Wednesday, November 15 th, the Hickman-Fulton County Riverport Authority held a ribbon cutting celebrating the installation of its new duty-cycle PLM 1220 harbor crane. The $1.6 million crane replaces a 40-year old lift crane, which has been out of service since a boom failure occurred in November The new crane can clamshell 26,500 lbs of material and at a reach of 66 feet. In lift mode it handles 52,500 lbs of lifting capacity with 105 feet of boom. We have something here that most areas do not have, said Greg Curlin, Riverport Authority Director. Our slack water harbor is a gem, a diamond in the rough. We have a lot of businesses using the harbor, they are here because of the river. It means so much to this community to have this crane. We want everyone to know, we're back in business. The new crane was installed in September and has begun off-loading barges. When Curlin began his search to replace the broken crane, he and the Riverport Board considered the options. They knew that first and foremost, they needed a crane that could move materials quickly, without overheating which had often occurred with the old one. Most of a new crane operations would be bulk handling, transshipping, and lifting /hoisting operations. They soon realized that replacing their former lift crane with another wasn t the best solution, as lift cranes are lightweight with large counterweights designed for ease of mobilization and stability. They discovered that duty-cycle cranes are designed for stability with oversized components that can withstand the shock loads of starting and reversing a counterweight and payload without overheating. The port also needed capability to reach deep into barge holds when the river is low. While they had managed to make a lift crane work in the past, a duty-cycle crane could provide them the greater flexibility and operational reliability. The port purchased the crane from PLM. It took nearly 8 months to build and ship the structure from the Netherlands. Once it arrived in Hickman, it took four days to install. This port provides a lot of economic advantage for the agricultural community and the industrial community by creating barge traffic that we wouldn t otherwise have said City of Hickman Mayor David Lattus. This port is important to our future. There is $200 billion in revenue that goes up and down the Mississippi River every year and provides one million jobs. We intend to take advantage of the widening of the Panama Canal and container on barge shipping that is one thing this crane will do. We ll be ready growth comes. Funding to purchase the new crane came from a variety of sources including the Kentucky Water Transportation Advisory Board and from the Delta Regional Authority (DRA). The Purchase Area Development District assisted Curlin with the DRA State Economic Development Assistance Program application, which is the main investment program used by DRA to provide direct investment into community-based and regional projects.
