Serving Our Region
The employees of the PADD live, work, and play right here in
Purchase Region. Because the Purchase is a region of small
communities, the citizens we serve are often our friends and
neighbors. The businesses we serve are also where we shop.
The local governments we assist, are our locally-elected
officials. Working here allows each of us to make a positive
impact on the future of the place we call home.

A Unique Organization
Designed to Serve
Since 1969, the Purchase Area Development District (PADD) has assisted
local governments in development and planning for their communities.
There is no doubt that this organization has helped to build the modern
Purchase Region we see today. Spend an afternoon in our archives, and
you’ll see a region changed by successful regional strategic planning and
public investment.
The PADD is unlike any other regional organization, as it was created
by both federal and state legislation. The Public Works and Economic
Development Act of 1965 laid the national framework for local
governments to work together; then in 1969, by Governor’s Executive
Order, the Comprehensive Planning and Development Agency was created.
On June 13, 1969, the PADD’s Articles of Incorporation were signed
creating an organization to promote economic development and to
establish a framework for joint federal, state, and local efforts to provide
basic facilities essential for the growth of the district. This included the
stimulation of business, manufacturing, and commercial activities as well
as welfare, education and human resource development of the eight-county
area.
Today, the PADD is still focused on the vision of our founders. The goals
and aims of the organization remain the same: to continually strive for area
growth and development through a partnership of local governments, while
improving the quality of life for those who call the Purchase home.
In this edition of PADD Perspectives, we’re kicking off our 45th
anniversary celebrations by highlighting the administrative division
and the work that they’ve accomplished to prepare for the upcoming
Kentucky General Assembly. You’ll see the completed Water Management
Council’s regional ranking process and KCADD legislative priorities for
consideration.
Most of all, I hope you’ll see the work of our committees and our board
members, as without them, we would struggle in our mission to serve this
region for the next 45 years and beyond.

PADD Board of Directors
Honored for their Service to the PADD Board
The Purchase Area Development District created the Distinguished Service Award to acknowledge the public service that individuals have contributed to the PADD Board of Directors. At the December 16, 2013, meeting of the Board, several members
were honored.
Hickman County Judge/Executive Greg Pruitt was honored for his 25 years of service. Joining the Board of Directors in 1988
after being elected, his tenure has included serving as an officer of the Executive Committee and serving as Chairman of the
Board from 1992-1994. Currently, Judge Pruitt is Chairman of the PADD’s Community & Economic Development Committee, which works to identify and address economic development opportunities in the Purchase Area.
Also during the meeting, five others were recognized
for their milestone years of service. We appreciate
the work that these members have provided through
their participation on the PADD Board of Directors.

“We are grateful for the years of public service these
members have provided to the region through their
participation and leadership on the PADD Board of
Directors,” said Jennifer Beck Walker, Executive
Director. “We are very fortunate to have an engaged
group of locally-elected officials and citizen representatives serving on our Board. These awards are a
small recognition of the value their commitment has
contributed to our region’s progress.”

The KY Council of Area Development Districts
(KCADD) was formed whereby the members of Area
Development District (ADD) Boards of Directors could
more effectively nurture regional collaboration and
advancement by focusing on the concept that local governments, along with businesses and community leadership, can accomplish more by working together than
individually. Kentucky’s ADDs were designed to be, and
function as, the focal point of a necessary Federal-StateLocal partnership for improvement of the quality of life
in the Commonwealth. Contained in that effort is the
elimination of, or certainly lessening of, parochialism;
establishment of a forum to discuss and deal with common problems among counties and cities; provision of
professional staff for units of government who individually cannot afford a staff; and to provide a vehicle for
the delivery of services in a consistent manner where no
other efficient system exists.
Spanning six decades of success, the ADD network is
more vibrant than ever and is recognized as a large,
powerful and diverse constituency given a constituency
comprising all 120 counties and 418 cities.
The Commonwealth is known for its innovation, vision
and generosity. We have a balanced economic structure
that reflects a significant global footprint, supported by
an energetic and resourceful workforce that is the envy
of other states who have experienced economic downturns during the recent recession. Unfortunately, there
still remain significant challenges in the public sector,
and is vital that we face these challenges, and many others, in order to maintain a dependable quality of life.
In the following, you will find the Council’s legislative
positions and priorities for the 2014 Session, representing the voice of Kentucky’s ADDs, Local Governments
and Citizen Members with the goal of ensuring a stronger climate for the Commonwealth.

Purchase Area Development District
Spotlight on the Upcoming KY General Assembly
2014 Legislative Prioritie
Transportation
Kentucky’s Area Development Districts (ADDs) have been
involved in transportation planning since our inception 45
years ago. As an integral part of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) planning process, the Cabinet
partners with the fifteen Kentucky ADDs to establish a comprehensive transportation planning program utilizing local,
regional and statewide input through a three-prong process:
• Conducting a public involvement process and serving
as a forum for public participation in the transportation
planning process;
• Involving local officials in multimodal transportation
planning through a structured transportation decision
making process; and,
• Evaluating and prioritizing Unscheduled Projects List
(UPL) projects for possible inclusion in the State Highway Plan.
As Kentucky’s regional economies continue to grow, there
is a commensurate impact on our state and local roads and
bridges. Obviously, Kentucky’s economic health and global
competitiveness are dependent on the state’s and regions’
ability to perform proper planning efforts in transportation. Through this ongoing investment in transportation
infrastructure planning it will result in reduced congestion,
improved safety and enhanced mobility for all users.
The ADD/KYTC planning relationship serves as a nationwide model for “Regional Planning Organization” (RPO)
processes. Yet historically, it is operational only by virtue
of annual, contractual agreements between the KYTC and
Kentucky’s ADDs.
We urge the Legislature to:
• Formalize the value of this coordinated effort between
KYTC and the ADDs, emphasizing public involvement
in planning, by officially designating the ADDs as the
RPOs in the Commonwealth. This designation will
allow Kentucky to remain the premier RPO program in
the nation.
• Allow the ADDs to maintain the Multimodal Planning
component, incorporated into ISTEA, TEA-21, SAFETEA-LU and MAP-21, at a higher level.
es of KY Council of Area Development Districts
Public Health & Infrastructure
Given Kentucky’s population growth, increasing demands
will be placed upon our environment and the ability to
maintain the proper level of infrastructure to protect public
health. In 2000 only 65% of Kentucky’s population had
access to safe drinking water. With a bipartisan effort, the
General Assembly passed SB 409 that encouraged regionalization, consolidation, and partnerships among governmental
agencies, and private parties when appropriate, with the goal
of making potable water and wastewater treatment available
to all Kentuckians through the maximization of financial
resources and the conservation of natural resources of the
Commonwealth.
Over ten years later through the cooperative planning of the
ADDs Water Management Councils over 97% of Kentuckians have access to safe drinking water. Now it is time to use
that successful model and apply it to wastewater planning.
We urge the Legislature to:
Amend current statute (KRS 224A and KRS 151) to formalize the regional wastewater planning process intended
by the original efforts initiated in the 2020 Plan in SB 409.
The Water Management Councils already consider wastewater issues in their quarterly meetings, but if Kentucky is
truly going to have a state-wide planning effort in wastewater (which affects economic development, infrastructure
growth, public health and safety) we need to accurately
promote the process through placing these requirements in
Kentucky law.
Retirement Reform
Kentucky’s public employee retirement system has become one of the most expensive in the nation. The ability
of Kentucky’s local governmental entities to meet financial
demands because of increasing pension costs is crippling
community service delivery. While revisions in 2012 helped
provide relief, Kentucky’s local governments remain poorly
positioned to weather this growing economic issue.
Public Safety & Technology
Today’s communications devices are wired, wireless, and
integrated into a host of other electronics such as computers,
automobiles and personal digital assistants that were nonexistent when the 911 system was developed over thirty years
ago. Technological innovations are expected to continue.
As communication systems, devices and regulations have
moved beyond traditional phone lines, so have the technologies, tools and resources needed to receive and respond to
emergency calls. The wireline customer base has been declining in Kentucky for several years while wireless customers have continued to grow.
We urge the Legislature to:
Review the findings from the 911 report mandated by SB
119 and consider an act to modernize and improve the administration of Kentucky’s 911 system through a statewide
911 board. Ensure all voice services contribute to the 911
system by providing parity in the quality of service and the
level of 911 charges across voice communications service
providers.
Local Government Revenues
The property tax represents an important revenue source
for local governments, but Kentucky’s local governments
rely on it less than local governments in most other states.
Nonetheless, the property tax is the second largest source of
local revenue in Kentucky.
We urge the Legislature to:
Take into consideration all tax structures that affect, or could
possibly affect, local governments when contemplating any
tax reform, including the possibility of a local option sales
tax. Further, while not directly impacting local government finances, we believe that allowing ‘angel investors’ to
qualify for tax credits under the Kentucky Investment Fund
Act would also enhance Kentucky’s ability to compete economically and add to our attractiveness for entrepreneurial
activity.
We urge the Legislature to:
Act in a manner to assure all components of KRS are fully
funded to actuarial suggested levels so as to honor the
inviolable contract the Commonwealth has with member
participants.

Spotlight on the Water Management Council
Regional Ranking Process Completed for FY2014
Bob Jost, GIS/GPS Manager for the PADD was the guest speaker at the November Water Management Council meeting. He
discussed a mapping project that the PADD is working on that will assist local utility companies.
In November, the Purchase Area Water Management Council completed the 2014 regional ranking process. The ranking results
were sent to the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) to be tabulated with regional ranking results of Water Management
Councils across the Commonwealth. From that statewide ranking list, KIA will recommend projects for funding by the Kentucky General Assembly.
The passage of Senate Bill 409 during the 2000 Kentucky Legislative Session changed the way Kentucky plans for the management of drinking water resources. The law required the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) to implement a program of
water management planning that would ensure the development of necessary infrastructure that would allow the provision of
public water service for all Kentucky households by the year 2020.
Senate Bill 409 also required Area Development Districts across the state to work with KIA to develop water management
planning areas that would encompass the entire Commonwealth. The ADD’s were charged with the coordination of multicounty planning councils whose primary responsibility was to develop a long range water supply plan for each of Kentucky’s
regions. These regional planning councils were given the responsibility of prioritizing all water and wastewater projects for any
available funding through the Kentucky State Legislature.
The Purchase Water Management Council meets each quarter to review new proposed projects. Its Chairman is Carlisle County
Judge/Executive Greg Terry who finds the process of the council’s work to be a positive part of regionalism.
“Prior to Senate Bill 409, each community and utility operated isolated in their own needs,” said Terry. “But now, Water Management Council members have a deep understand of the infrastructure needs of each community and have established strong,
networking relationships.”
James Smith, Water Management Coordinator, provides project administration services for water and wastewater infrastructure
construction projects, coordinates activities of the planning council, and serves as a liaison between local utilities, local elected
officials, and state and federal funding agencies. He works closely with project engineers, utility management, and funding
sources.
“I enjoy working with each local utility, learning their needs and helping them to outline potential projects that can improve
their community,” said Smith.

JFA Funds Provide Funding for Technical Assistance
By Brad Davis
PADD Associate Director
Community & Economic Development
Each year, PADD receives funding from the state through the Joint
Funding Administration Agreement.
Although it is small percentage of
the PADD’s budget, it has a large
impact on our ability to work with
local government, economic development agencies, nonprofits and other
groups in the region. This fiscal year,
the PADD received $206,826 in this
agreement, which represent 5% of the
ADD’s budget.

ment, technical assistance and public
administration services. JFA funding
allows the ADD to assist local governments with planning, development and ultimately the submission of applications for
funding related to emergency management, disaster, and homeland security/public safety.
ADD staff is able to provide technical assistance in the development of water and sewer projects, work with companies and
local economic development agencies to package funding for job creation activities, and other types of community investments
as a result of the JFA program. The workscope for the JFA allows staff to work on programs that provide no administration
fees such as, Recreational Trails, Land and Water Conservation Fund, Rails to Trails, and Renaissance on Main/Main Street,
USDA-Rural Development and other programs.
The Joint Funding Administration (JFA) originated in the 1970’s. All fifteen of the state’s area development districts received
funding from the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) and Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), who jointly funded the program. This cooperation between EDA and HUD is where the program received its name.
Based upon the program’s results, the Commonwealth began supplementing this funding by allocating general fund dollars to
help match the federal funding shortly thereafter. The ADDs have received this funding every year since. Like all government
funding, the amount has fallen over the years. In Fiscal Year 2010, the funding amount for the PADD was $231,143. The funding has fallen 10% over the last five years.
Over the years, PADD staff has assisted with writing grant applications to Federal Emergency Management Agency, Homeland
Security, Department of Local Government, Kentucky Infrastructure Authority and the KY Cabinet for Economic Development. We have prepared applications to USDA-Rural Development or helped with a review of water and sewer rates. Without
the JFA funding, many of the activities that our communities rely upon us for would be more difficult to accomplish.

Kentucky AG Mapping Project Launched
Kentucky’s Area Development Districts have partnered with the U.S. Economic Development Administration, Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Governor’s Office of Agriculture Policy, and Kentucky
Agricultural Council to launch the Kentucky Agricultural Development Information System (KADIS).
The KADIS will become the state’s first interactive agricultural asset map, designed to identify
agricultural trends within the state, plan for disaster
mitigation, and drive economic development efforts.
The project is being funded by the U.S. Economic
Development Administration and the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund and is being carried out
by the state’s 15 area development districts.
“As part of an effort to incorporate agriculture into
the area development districts’ current economic
development framework, a unified, comprehensive
catalogue of Kentucky’s current agricultural assets was needed,” Jason Vincent, executive director of the Pennyrile Area Development District and chair of the Kentucky Area Development District Agriculture Committee, said.
“The KADIS is the first of its kind in Kentucky and in the region,” said Phil Paradice, Jr., regional director for the Atlanta
Regional Office of the Economic Development Administration. “There is great potential for economic growth and disaster
planning and mitigation in this project, and we look to use this project as a model going forward in our work with other states
in the Southeast.”
The map will be interactive and regularly updated, allowing users to access data specific to their area as well as statewide data.
The map will feature a wide range of information, from crops and livestock to facilities and land zoning regulations, and more.
“I believe agriculture can and should be a major driver of economic development, especially in Kentucky’s rural communities,”
Agriculture Commissioner James Comer said. “This system will provide policy makers and businesses with the data they need
to make smart decisions that will promote economic growth through agriculture. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture is
pleased to participate in this project.”
The project kicks off today with Area Development District staff beginning to combine existing data and gather new data out in
the field using their existing GIS capabilities.
“In the Kentucky Agricultural Council’s most recent strategic plan, tying economic development to traditional agriculture
policy was a specific priority. This project perfectly aligns with that mission and we are excited to support this timely project,”
Dr. Tony Brannon, Chairman of the Kentucky Agricultural Council and Dean of the Hutson School of Agriculture at Murray
State University, said.
The Area Development Districts will incorporate the data from the project into their regular Community and Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) process as part of a sustainability plan for the project beyond the 18-month timeline.
“The KADIS will be a tool used over and over, as the Commonwealth plans for its future in agriculture We are excited about
the strong partnership that has developed between these groups,” said Roger Thomas, executive director, Governor’s Office
of Agricultural Policy. “I am particularly happy that that the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund could be a part of this
project.”

People & Places in the Purchase
Lee King, A Lifetime of Service
When the Purchase Area Development District was designated as the
Areawide Agency on Aging in 1974, Lee King was already actively
involved as a PADD Aging Committee member in her capacity as the
Regional Director for Social Services. As the longest serving PADD
committee member, King was here from the beginning. Little did she
know then that nearly 45 years later, she’d still be actively involved in
regional planning.
There is no adequate way to describe the impact she’s had in planning,
implementing, and advocating for senior services over the years. She’s
watched the ebb and flow of funding and helped to design programs
that have improved the quality of life for seniors and provided independence for those with disabilities.
“Back then, the hope was that we could establish a much better quality of life for seniors,” said King. “There were so many needs that we
wanted to address, but Senior Citizens Centers were created to provide a social outlet, provide meals, and create a place where resources
were available.”
In 1975, the Purchase had the third highest total number of seniors
Ms. Lee King has served on the Aging Committee
citizens in the state; in terms of percentage of population, the Purchase
from the early days of the PADD.
ranked first in the state with 20.3% of its total population being 60
years old or older. It was established as an impact area and served as a pilot region throughout the decade.
“Governor Julian Carroll designated the Purchase for a pilot program called Project Independence whose goal was to have people remain in their own homes as long as they possibly could. That’s where home-delivered meals were born,” said King. “We
were the first to have offer that along with friendly visitors and personal assistants to help with homemaker services or respite
care. Project Independence worked to provide anything that could help that person stay in their home.”
Project Independence was also able to build wheelchair ramps and made feasible home repairs. The state wanted the ADDs and
the Cabinet staff to work closely together to develop aging services.
“I practically had an office at the PADD because Charlie Ross (when he was the PADD Human Services Planner) and I were
working so closely together during those years. After we got everything going, he and I went across the state making presentations about what we were doing here in the Purchase.”
When asked whether or not the goals that were established have been met, King stated that Senior Citizens Centers are really
well organized and that they are providing opportunities for seniors that they never had before. She’s proud of the accomplishments that have been made but still sees continued need.
“I’d like to see more people utilizing and participating in the Senior Citizens Centers,” said King. “The centers have so much
to offer. I’d like to find a way to help promote what’s going on so that more could benefit.”
King retired in 1991, but continued serving on the PADD’s Aging Committee. In 2007, she became the committee chairperson.
When asked about what advice she would give to a new PADD committee member, she offered the following.
“They need to be willing to be vocal about what they would like to see happen. Be willing to speak up,” said King. “There are
some members that are reluctant to speak up or feel uncomfortable to speak. But they should be willing to actively participate
and share their thoughts as their voice represents the people.”

FY2014 PADD Committee Members
Since the earliest days of the Purchase ADD, committee members have been an intragal part of this organization. In FY2014,
over 200 community members, along with many of the regions local-elected officials actively provide input and guidance to
the eleven committees, boards, advisory councils, and task forces that guide PADD programs and services. We appreciate their
cooperation, hard work, and committment to improving the quality of life for all who call the Purchase Region home.
