The Hopkinsville Committee of the Whole voted to send a budget amendment ordinance to the full Council to provide additional funding to Pennyrile Allied Community Services (PACS) to cover transit system shortfall for the remainder of this fiscal year.
As previously reported by the News Edge, council members requested at the March 16 meeting to hear from PACS representatives after learning from City Financial Officer Robert Martin the transit system would be over budget by the end of this fiscal year. He explained that Council would need to make a budget amendment of around $25,000 for this fiscal year and approximately $150,000 for next year if they wanted to continue the transportation in the city at the same level.
There was a revision to the executive order that was posted on the City of Hopkinsville’s website late last week. The change was the addition of Tom Glover’s name to the Committee in place of former Chamber president, Kelli Pendleton.
In other action, the Council approved incentives for Kindred Holding, LLC to purchase and make improvements to property located at 2230 Pembroke Road, the Tobacco Services/Industrial Storage building. The company estimates an investment of $2 million toward the industrial investment, which will result in the creation of at least 79 new jobs.
The Council also unanimously authorized Mayor Lynch to sign a Grant Agreement between the City of Hopkinsville and Kindred Holdings, LLC and Homecare Products, Inc. in the amount of $316,000.
