The past year has been one that, in my opinion, showed the value and support of the Lake Cumberland Area Development District

(LCADD) to the people in all our counties. After eight months of what had developed as a business as usual or normal year, our

lives and work was changed drastically with the COVID-19 pandemic. With this pandemic came complete closure of the LCADD

office, Senior Citizen Centers, Workforce Career Centers and other programs that moved from in home visits to only being able to

continue their work through phone calls. Many staff was moved to teleworking from home. Daily temperature checks, 50% capac-

ity in the offices, one way hallways, was the new norm as we continued on as an essential service provider.

After receiving Federal funding to offer meals to individuals ages 60 and over, LCADD being the provider for Senior Citizens Services

and with the Senior Citizen Centers closed faced the enormous task of what eventually would be tripling the amount of meals

served. First, each person had to call LCADD and request the meals, ARDC staff then had to complete a short assessment on each

person that called and enter it into the state system. Hundreds of calls were made to and from LCADD staff so that meals could be

delivered. Second, there had to be sources found to help supply the meals, cold storage located since the meals were frozen,

methods and supplies to handle the meals to insure quicker delivery and people to help deliver the meals to the homes. All LCADD

staff involved with making this happen, along with numerous volunteers are to be thanked for doing such a fantastic job.

The pandemic also caused many people to be laid off or lose their jobs. The Unemployment Insurance system was totally over-

whelmed and asked for support. Nine LCADD staff took on the task of support. While they were not trained properly and support

was hard to get, they continued working each day to help the people in our counties receive their benefits. Under the circumstanc-

es they worked under, they only with other staff that continued Workforce activities are to be thanked for the effort and work they

did.

With many staff teleworking, they have to be commended for the continued work to serve their clientele while not being able to

make in person visits with them. Services continued to be delivered for those most vulnerable. To be able to make the quick tran-

sition from an office setting and in person contacts to working from home and phone contacts is a big transition. I appreciate and

thank all who made that transition and continued the great work.

With a large number teleworking from home, access to the internet and our access to our server was critical. A huge thank you to

our IT department for making this a very seamless and very workable situation.

As our counties, cities and others continue to pursue grants that have an economic and personal impact for our citizens, work nev-

er stopped on completing and submitting many applications. With the Cares Act it brought even more work and applications to be

completed. Working on these applications from home was and is difficult but the staff overcame these obstacles and completed

their work. Many thanks for their commitment.

We have all heard of many heroes that have emerged from many different sectors during this pandemic and truly they are heroes

and have saved and helped many lives while placing themselves in a vulnerable position. While writing this I did not mention any

names but hoped to cover as many actions that staff at LCADD has done to continue to serving our area during this difficult time.

This being said I have one more item to mention.

LCADD staff, you are all my HEROES.

Respectfully,

Darryl McGaha Lake Cumberland ADD Executive Director

LCADD History

In 1969, the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, Inc. (LCADD) was established and an office for the agency opened in the basement of the old Doctor Lawrence Hotel building in Jamestown, Ky. A professional staff was hired and a Board of Directors, composed of locally-elected officials and citizens from Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor and Wayne counties, was put into place to govern the agency.

This new regional planning agency paved the way for an important long-term cooperative effort among local civic and governmental leaders within the 10-county area. The agency provided a forum for officials to discuss and deal withcommon problems affecting their counties, to set and accomplish majorobjectives and to take advantage of opportunities that could not be achievedalone. In short, the agency enabled local leaders to plan for both the growth oftheir communities and the region as a whole. By 1983, the growing agencyneeded more office space so it moved to its current location on Lakeway Drive inRussell Springs.

Today, the LCADD staff continues to work hard to achieve the goals and objectives set down each year by the agency’s Board of Directors. Staff and local officials work together in a multitude of areas from planning and development of infrastructure projects to the expansion of employment training and elderly services.

LCADD also remains committed to economic development. Many jobs have been created and millions of dollars invested in the 10-county area because locally-elected officials, agency staff and the private sector have worked together with the common goal of improving the opportunities within the region.

Throughout its 50-year history, the agency has experienced great success, thus proving that a united effort to pursue community and regional improvements does create growth and development in an entire region.

What is an ADD?

Area Development Districts (ADDs) in Kentucky have existed for more than 50 years. They grew out of the efforts of locally-elected officials and citizens in the Commonwealth to find collaborative means with which to deal with community problems.

The combination of federal programs and state-enabling legislation provided a national strat-egy and funding mechanism that allowed the concepts to become reality in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

ADDs now serve as regional planning agencies, forums, clearing-houses, technical centers and as conveners for the region while administering numerous federal, state and local programs. Unlike many other organizations structured along multi-jurisdictional lines, ADDs have both federal and state statutory authority.

ADDs share the following common characteristics with other regional councils throughout the United States: extensive program and service delivery experience; fiscal accountability; tech-nical and professional staff; non-partisan approach; flexibility; broad-based partnership de-velopment; established capacity.

While they do share the traits listed above, the regional approach in Kentucky has also been tailored to the needs of the Commonwealth.

The ADD network is best characterized by the following distinctions, unique among regional organizations:

The 15 ADDs provide a system of complete coverage to all 120 counties;

ADDs provide systematic linkage between local leadership, the Governor’s office, state and federal agencies, and private organizations and serve as extended staff for local government officials;

ADDs deal with all program areas within the Commonwealth.

The Community and Economic Development Division has provided technical assistance to units of local government upon request. The following are examples of the type of assistance provided this past Fiscal year.

Assistance provided to local units of government who were preparing State Homeland Security Grant and 911 Board applications. Researched potential funding for numerous requests received. Staff prepared numerous applications for USDA-RD, RTP, LWCF Grants. Staff will be available to advise and assist as needed. Planned, presented and/or coordinated training for elected officials, their staff and other community officials. Staff attended City Council and Fiscal Court meetings to be available to provide technical assistance as needed.

The Revolving Loan Fund

The Revolving Loan Fund, since its creation in 1987, has been utilized to aid businesses in the development, expansion and location within the Lake Cumberland Area Development District. These funds have assisted in the leveraging of other funds, the creation of new job opportunities, and the diversifications of local economies and the stimulation of economic initiatives. Staff is available to assist in the preparation of loan applications on an as needed basis in areas such as pro forma statements; income statements; balance sheet; loan packaging; interaction with other lending agencies; and business plan formation.

This assistance is in keeping with the overall objective of the RLF to aid business development, diversify the economic base, gener-ate interaction with other lenders and stimulate economic initiative. The continued success of the RLF program is due in large part to its RLF Committee. The donation of these individual’s time and expertise, as well as those who have previously served, has made the program the valuable economic tool that it is today.

During FY20 there were no loans paid off and four (4) new loans closed. The RLF program currently has eleven (11) open loans.

To date, RLF funds have leveraged over $98.0 million and assisted in the creation of 1,650 jobs.

Public Administration

The Lake Cumberland Area Development District is responsible for providing technical assistance to local governmental members within the district’s ten (10) Kentucky Counties. The main objective is to provide elected officials with technical assistance in the areas of training, personnel, finance, and purchasing. We strive to provide assistance and access to services in a manner which will enhance independence and autonomy of local governments. Below are several programs and services provided:

Training - One of the main areas of support provided is under the umbrella of training. Each year the Area Development District serves as host and co-sponsors for numerous training services for the local elected officials and staff. Training events such as newly elected officials workshops, budget workshops and IRS compliance workshops are some examples.

Personnel Assistance – We offer services to assist in the field of personnel. These services will help local officials to update and maintain personnel policies, job descriptions and also help with keeping county administrative codes updated and current with the Kentucky Revised Statues.

Financial Assistance - This area entails the gathering and disseminating of information relating to budget formulation and admin-istration; assisting in financial record keeping, hosting of workshops relative to all facets of local government budgeting; providing assistance in calculation of city tax rates; and assistance with the Municipal and County Road Aid and Local Records Grants.

The Planning Department offers a wide range of planning services to the counties and cities of the

Lake Cumberland ADD. The Planning Staff works with local governments, non-profits, and many

other groups to provide comprehensive planning and zoning, GPS and cartographic services, and

other specialized planning services. Along with local and regional assistance, the LCADD is involved

in the following activities.

Economic and Community Development Planning

The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is an annually updated planning doc-

ument that examines both economic and community development on a countywide and regional lev-

el. The CEDS document is designed to examine the region’s economic and socioeconomic situation,

create local and regional development strategies, and to track the progress made in the region over

a five-year period. The CEDS is funded through a joint funding agreement with EDA. The full CEDS

document is available at the following web link:

http://lcadd.org/comprehensive-economic-dev-strategy

Water and Wastewater Planning

The water management planning process was formed under Senate Bill 409 to promote water plan-

ning throughout Kentucky. Water and Wastewater Planning is a cooperative effort between the state

government agencies, local government, and the LCADD. The process involves the development of

long-range plans for water and wastewater expansions, upgrades, and improvements, as well as the

development of project profiles through the LCADD Regional Water Management Planning Council

for possible funding.

Transportation Planning

Planning staff works with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to provide regional transportation

planning to the ten-county Lake Cumberland area. The Transportation Planner effectively acts as a

liaison between the Cabinet and the local communities in an effort to provide long-range planning for

the development and maintenance of the region’s transportation network. The Planner also assists

the Lake Cumberland Regional Transportation Committee in prioritizing needs and helping move

projects into the Kentucky Six-Year Plan.

Local Road Mapping

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contracts with the Lake Cumberland ADD to maintain the

state’s digital map and local road inventory. GIS staff work closely with local officials to collect infor-

mation and GPS city and county roads on an annual basis.

Geographic Information Systems

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) deals with the art of developing computer based mapping

files to create a statewide base map. GIS services include the collection of road features and utility

features, the production of paper and electronic maps, as well as many specialized mapping ser-

vices to meet local community needs. Staff is constantly striving to improve its GIS database, as well

LCADD serves as the Fiscal Agent, One-Stop Operator and Direct Service Provider for the Cumberlands Workforce Development Board. These contracts require serving the individuals in a regional area of 13 counties to provide qualified workers that fit the needs of existing employers and economic development activities.

Mission of the Cumberlands Workforce Development Board

We partner to serve employers and employees to develop a skilled workforce for the prosperity of our communities.

Supporting Business - Area Career and Job Events

LCADD has three Business Services staff that covers the 13 counties that works to be the conduit between local businesses and their needs. A Business Service Team (BST) has been established to work to be responsive to all business needs. The BST has worked with many employers to hold both hiring events and job fairs throughout the region.

LCADD through its BST, offers On-the-Job Training program. A business may be reimbursed for 50% of an employee’s wages up to $2,000 for new hires. On-the-Job training allows an individual the time to train while working while the employer cost is being supplemented. LCADD served 98 participants through this program for the program year and paid employers $46,232.00.

Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs

LCADD through Individual Training Accounts (ITA’s) are designed for customers that are unemployed, making low wages or unskilled to find a self-sufficient paying job. During this program year the Cumberlands WIOA served 264 adults through ITA’s using WIOA formula funds with expenditures of $517,499.70. A total of $1,391,964.11 was expended through all adult programs.

The Dislocated Workers program provides services to eligible workers that lose their jobs due to a business or plant closing or a major layoff. During this program year the Cumberlands WIOA served 45 dislocated workers through ITA’s using WIOA formula funds with expenditures of $128,741.99. A total of $723,542.75 was expended through all dislocated worker programs and co-enrolled Trade participants. A total of 9 Career Managers were moved to supporting Unemployment Insurance for over three moths which lead to higher career services under Dislocated Workers.

Total cost for all staff for Adult, Dislocated Workers and co- enrolled Trade amounted to $1,077,118.55.

Training Providers must be qualified through a Request for Information process that is now main-tained by the state, to create an Eligible Training Provider List for adult and dislocated workers to use.

Trade Adjustment Assistance Program

On July 1, 2005 the Cumberlands WIOA became responsible for the training portion of the Trade Adjustment Assistance program (TAA) that helps trade-affected workers who have lost their jobs as a result of increased imports or shifts in production out of the United States. Trade Adjustment Assistance services and benefits are provided to help eligible workers get back to work through the One Stop Career Centers. Our Workforce Area experienced one large Trade eligible plant closing during the past year. During the program year the Cumberlands WIOA served 94 Trade participants with expenditures of Trade funds being $321,758.18 for ITA’s and $66,307.07 for supportive services. $75,000.00 of Rapid Response funds were received and expended for case management for these programs.

Youth Programs

Under WIOA, the law requires 75% of the funds to be expended for out-of-school youth. LCADD works with most of the local high school to offering services to in-school youth. Many in school youth were identified as candidates for the out-of-school program upon graduation for both occupational training and work experience. Upon graduating, the out-of-school can be placed into work experience. The WIOA law required that 20% of youth funds be spent for Work Experience and at the end of June 191 youth have been put into the work experience component with $485,938.58 being spent on wages and salaries for career managers. Other Youth were placed in OJT contracts with expenditures of $39,872.37. Many continue working into the new program year and others are still being enrolled and entered into work. The CWDB also set funds for out-of-school youth ITA’s that would allow them to continue occupational or technical training after graduation. $249,192.80 was expended on 81 youth for ITA’s during the program year. At the end of June 278 out-of-school youth had been enrolled.

Work Ready Communities

Through initiatives of the KWIB and now the Economic Development Cabinet the strategy of counties becoming a “Work Ready Community” has become a viable option for many of our counties. New criteria has been established with benchmarks to obtain this designation. If a county falls short of the benchmarks they pursue and receive the status of a “Work Ready Community in Progress” with a plan put in place to raise the benchmarks to the level of Work Ready Community within three years. To date 3 counties have been certified as being a Work Ready Community, Pulaski, Adair, and Taylor. Eight (8) counties have been certified as Work Ready Community in Progress, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Laurel, Russell, Wayne and Whitley. Other counties are now working toward applying for certification and recertification. Our goal is to have all 13 counties become certified. Staff have and will continue to offer resources to assist in any way possible.

Kentucky Career Centers

The emphasis of the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area is finding employment for individuals with their present skills, education and abilities through core services at the One Stop Career Centers. If local partners in the One Stop Career Center and Affiliate sites cannot find employment for their customers through the core services, then the partners will refer their customers to a Cumberlands WIOA Career Manager for career services with employment still being emphasized. After career services if self-sufficient employment is still not established and the need for training is determined, the WIOA customer may be trained based on their individual career plan and within a sector of high demand employment as determined by the CWDB.

Locations of all WIOA Kentucky Career Centers and information pertaining to WIOA can be found on the website:

Workforce Development

Cumberlands Workforce Development Board

The Cumberlands Workforce Development Board (CWDB) has developed and amended a Strategic Plan to guide its actions. This is a valuable platform to bring together individuals from business, edu-cation, economic development and other sources to seek out and establish goals and implement plans and proposed outcomes. Actions are now taking place to meet the goals that were established by the strategic plan.

The Regional Plan adopted between the Cumberlands and South Central Workforce areas also includes three areas that are felt to be consistent needs between the two areas. Work continues in collaborative effort way to meet goals and outcomes that will be of benefit to both areas. A new

Regional Plan will be put into effect in August 2019.

Performance

WIOA also provides increased accountability, with states, localities and training providers being monitored against performance standards and goals set by the Act. Those performance standards and goals include employment rates, median earnings, employment retention, credential, measure skills gain and a new employer measure. The CWDB was not held accountable for performance for PY19 but worked against projected numbers. Performance for the state and each local area will be negotiated for PY20.

Workforce Development

Re-entry Efforts During the summer of 2019, we approached two local jailers regarding expanding the opportunities for inmates similar to a program that was already being used at Warren County Regional Jail. A visit was made by Jailer Bobby Dunbar, Executive Assistant Alana Reynolds, the County Attorney of Russell County, Kevin Shearer, along with Myra Wilson to learn more regarding the re-entry meetings that occurred 90 days prior to release. As a result of the visit, two programs were initially launched in Russell County as the pilot. The first program launched was CONNECT, Centering On Needs Now Expecting Confident Tomorrow, at the Russell County Detention Center. This re-entry meeting is a 2 hour meeting that has a broad group of speakers. An example has been included.

The goal of the re-entry is to ensure there is an awareness of all resources available when released and to ensure each person has a plan upon exit. Photo ID’s are provided upon release and follow up contact with re-entry coordinator, Aaron Poynter, continues in an effort to ensure success. We have participants that are relocated to other areas to avoid having the same issues. This is willing relocation and thus far, we have great success stories from this. We have continued to work through referrals without pre-release meetings. Russell County, Wayne County and Pulaski County jails have our packets of information that are provided prior to release. We have communicated with participants via phone to ensure they are aware of resources and have plans once released. County Attorney of Russell County, Kevin Shearer, had another idea on how to expand the reach. In September of 2019, Myra Wilson began attending District Court with County Attorney of Russell County, Kevin Shearer, in an effort to provide opportunities for employment for those in need. The results prior to Covid-19 were extremely positive. Both Judge Lawson and Judge Latham provided positive feedback on how well things were working. The South Central Kentucky Workforce Board and the Cumberlands Workforce Board applied for Governor’s Reserve Funding in November of 2019. The funding was awarded which allowed a position to be created for a Re-entry Coordinator. After posting the position and conducting interviews, Aaron Poynter began working in this role in March of 2020. Re-Entry Efforts since 03/02/2020 From a new intake perspective, Aaron has personally taken on 100 new intake clients as of 07/17/2020. These new clients have been referrals from: jails, County Attorneys, other agency case management and word of mouth. Their needs range from employment, identification, housing, food/commodity, clothing and any other barriers an individual may possess to employment. Pushing the program throughout the region Aaron has made contact via email/ letters to all county attorneys in the 13 counties. Prior to his arrival, relationships were already established with three of the 13 County Attorneys.

A survey was created by Myra during the Covid pandemic, in an effort to reach employers and those job seekers. Aaron has contacted and met with various employers throughout the region that have requested employees and have been providing members of their respective communities to their workforce. In addition, Aaron has been working with local car dealerships in assisting individuals in getting transportation.

Aaron has participated in USDA commodity distribution and led the organizing and distribution of dairy commodities to 4 counties within our region. Through this, Aaron has been able to build a relationship with the Kentucky Dairy Council leadership, as well as, the community leaders within the counties of distributions. Aaron has met with county/city government leaders and have built rapport while representing the Cumberland Workforce Board.

Aaron has partnered with local extension offices (Adair, Casey) and some local libraries. We have a commit-ment from Russell and Aaron has spoken with Adair County’s Library Director but she is not taking meetings until August 2020.

Outside the region, Aaron has made and utilized contacts in Barren County (Next Steps) Metcalfe County (Bowling Park) and Warren County utilizing resources for needs and relocations.

As of July 13th , Aaron will assume responsibility for the entire 23 county region. Through his contacts and referral sources, the goal is to work with all County Attorney’s and Jailers in an effort to ensure we are supplying information to make them successful as well as being the initial point of contact. We are looking forward to continuing this program and developing it throughout other regions within the State.

The Bridges to Hope-Recovery Home recently purchased a 12 unit apartment complex in Jamestown, KY. After a complete rehabilitation of the building, they will be creating a home like community for women in recover to heal, learn and grow together as they walk the path of recovery. We will be working with them to ensure all resources and employment opportunities, are available.

Senior Citizens Centers

Senior Citizens Centers

LCADD oversees the management and operation of the

ten Senior Citizen Centers within the District. Senior

Citizen Centers serve as a gathering place for services

and activities, including nutritional education,

recreation, health promotion, transportation, and

congregate meals. This year 69,902 meals were served

to senior adults at our centers. Senior Citizen Centers

also serve as a distribution point for CSFP commodities

providing nutrients typically lacking in seniors’ diets,

and play an important role in combatting senior hunger.

During Fiscal Year 2020 approximately 280,000 pounds

of food were distributed to senior adults.

Home Delivered Meals

LCADD Senior Services prides itself in continuing to

provide hot nutritious meals to eligible senior citizens in

their homes. Meals are prepared each day at the

Central Kitchen in Russell Springs and transported to

each county within the district. Center staff pack and

deliver hot/frozen meals to eligible individuals in their

homes daily. During Fiscal Year 2020, 85,240 meals

were delivered to homes.

Health Promotion and Disease

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

includes evidence based programs such as: Walk

with Ease, and Bingocize. These vital programs

help increase mobility, and aid in a prolonged

independent lifestyle. This year LCADD Senior

Service staff provided 3,165 units of Health

promotion to senior adults in our district.

LCADD Senior Services COVID19 Response

On March 13, 2020 all Senior Citizen Center

across the Commonwealth were closed due to

the COIVID19 pandemic. This required LCADD

Senior Services to develop new meal referral and

distribution systems. A hot curbside to-go meal

service was established to provide meals for

adults 60 years of age and older. During the last

quarter of FY2020, 25,412 curbside meals were

given to Lake Cumberland Area residents. Many

older adults did not have transportation or

elected to stay in and safe during these uncertain

times. LCADD Senior Service developed new

practices; contracted new providers; and

employed new staff and volunteers to ensure this

population of valuable citizens would receive

meals in their homes. LCADD Senior Service staff

delivered 71,353 meals to homes during the last

quarter of FY2020.
