Gilmore, was so far below the other dept. heads, he had advanced him
in the same pay scale to bring him closer to other dept. heads. The
Parks & Recreation had lost one employee and another employee within
the department accepted her duties so her raise was adjusted for lack
of that employee. The Community Development Dept., secretary had
accepted more added responsibility, so her raise was adjusted .

Mr. T.P. White, Aclin Ford representative, addressed the council. He
stated the specs were not written correctly and because of this, he had
to bid a larger engine, therefore, a higher price. The specs asked for
a 305 cubic inch engine with a 4 barrel carburetor. Aclin Ford bid a
351 cubic inch engine with an injector type carburetor. Aclin felt

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

they were out speced because Ford no longer makes a 305 engine or a
4 barrel carburetor. He felt, however, the 302 engine was equivalent
but the specs did not specify 11 0r equivalent,'11 and could not bid the
302 engine. He asked the council to consider his company because
the vehicles offered meets or exceeds the specs.
Capt. Benny To~bert addressed the council and stated he wrote the
specs and did not mean to spec anyone out. He did not believe the
vehicles Ford had bid could do the job the Police Dept. needed in a
chase.

them but to buy them and repair them.

Mayor Reid introduced Mr. Mack McAlister, CPA, representing firm
accomplishing the 1980 Audit Report of the City. Mr. McAlister commended
Mr. Kelley and the Finance Dept. for their work with the computer and
work during the audit. He commented that records being on the computer
has helped a tremoundous amount. He stated the :city had an ·excess of
revenues of $21,685 over expenditures for the year.
Mistakes are made during the course of the year and these should not be
blown out of proportion. Some of the weaknesses found were listed with
corrective actions recommended, to alert the council so they might
PAGE FOUR
take action they see necessary.
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 19, 1981
He stated in the Ambulance Billings there was a total duplication in
accounts receivable. The Police Dept. and Finance Dept. were doing
the same job. He felt it was no longer necessary for both depts. to
be doing the same job, since Mr. Kelley has it on computer, the
Police Dept. could be freed of that responsibility.
Mr. McAlister felt the bank reconciliations should all be done by the
Finance Dept. under Mr. Kelley. Now, certain funds are being prepared
by other departments.
Mr. Kelley explained, there had been actually $14,083 gasoline that had
not been reported. There was no indication that fuel was missing, just
reports were not being filled out each time someone got fuel. It was
a matter of people filling out reports that were not used to filling
out reports. He had received information on a Keeguard electronic
fuel control system for monitoring gasoline he felt should be discussed
by the council.
Alderman Abdin moved, seconded by Alderman Knight to place on the
agenda for discussion, the Keeguard System for the gas pumps. Approved
by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Kelley stated this new system would provide an accurate record of
how many gallons each vehicle in each dept. is using, by using a
special key to activate the gas pumps. The unit could be attached
to the gas pumps we are now using. The cost of the entire system
would be under $4,000, including installation.
Alderman Abdin moved, seconded by Alderman Wilson to go out for bids
on the electronic system for the gas pumps. Approved by unanimous
voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
Alderman Wilson asked that a study be done on the diesel fuel and
report back to the council at the next regular meeting. After
discussion, the consensus reached was to include the diesel gas pump
in the bid for the electronic system.
Mr. McAlister expressed his appreciation to the council for acting on
a recommendation, especially this quickly.
Three requirements called for by Act 332, had been listed to be
incorporated into the Police Dept. and Municipal Court Clerk 1 s office.
NON-AGENDA ITEM: CIVIL DEFENSE SIREN REIMBURSEMENT:
Alderman Abdin asked the question, why the city was not reimbursed
the 50% for installation of the last Civil Defense Siren installed.
Mr. Kelley explained, the bid the city accepted was the high bid of
$2,000, and when the bid accepted is $2,000 or over there is a
requirement, when federa1 money is involved, to pay union wages, The
contractor that installed the sirens did not pay union wages or use
union workers. The city did not meet said requirement.

CALL TO ORDER: INVOCATION: P LE DGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
The Ci ty Counc i l o f the City o f Jack s onv i lle, Ark ansas met in special
session on Thursday, March 26, 1981, to discuss the proposed Slurry
Seal and H.M.A.C. Program for 1981. Mayor Reid called the meeting to
order then gave the Invocation. The standing audience particiapted
in the "Pledge of ALLegiance To The Flag".
ROLL CALL/ATTENDANCE RECORD:
The City Clerk call e d the ROLL and the following were present: Aldermen:
Knight, Smith, Hughes, Wilson, Durham, Fletcher, Abdin, Keaton and
Williamson. Alderman Brooks was absent. PRESENT: 9. ABSENT: l.
QUORUM DECLARED. Others present: Mayor Reid; Bertha Tipton, Mayor's
Secretary; Paul Groce, City ~ttorney; Dept. Heads; and interested
citizens.
STREET DEPT:
Mayor Re1d asked City Engineer, Bill Owens to discuss and answer any
questions the council had. Maps had been drawn showing specifically
where the slurry seal and hot mix would be placed. He explained this
program had been drawn up four years ago as a five year program, but
fo~ various reasons, had slipped into a six year program. The proposal
was not drawn up by ward or any other means, except strictly on the
need of the streets to be paved.
Alderman Abdin was concerned about the Tara Mount and .Jefferson Heights
area. There has not been any work in those areas in approximately
three years. A portion of one street in' Jeffer.son Heights (Adams St.)
had collapsed and he did not feel it would last another year. Tara
Mount and Jefferson· Heights are on the li~t to be paved next year.
The developer repaved Tara Mount in 1975. City Eng. Owens stated he
could add another area to be overlayed, but would have to cut a street
in the program in order to overlay a street not in the program. If the
council so desired, he would be happy to work it into the program. City
Engineer Owens and Jake Broadway, Contractor, stated the cost of overlay
for Tara Mount and Jefferson Heights would be approximately $13,000.
The cost of the proposals, without Tara Mount and Jefferson Heights,
is approximately $126,000. which is about $15,000. more than was budgeted.
Alderman Wilson asked City Engineer Owens where the extra $15,000 would
come from. He stated it could be shifted from other parts of the
budget that would not hurt as much, such as road materials, equipment,
traffic signals or street repair.
Alderman Keaton commented that he and other Aldermen did not have time
to be on the streets eight hours a day, because of their jobs, like the
Street Dept. or City Engineer to check on the streets and see where
the need for asphalt is. That is what we have a City Engineer for, to
determine our needs for us and r believe we should go with the proposal
he has drawn up.

Informal Meeting:
Alderman Knight introduced Mr. Carmen Breeding, Coordinator for the
Deaf in Jacksonville. With hi was Ms. Beckey Hartley, Asst. Co-
ordinator for the Deaf in Jacksonville and Mr. Carl Bowman, Director
of the State Office for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired. Mr. Bowman
is totally deaf but can talk. They wene requesting the councils
assistance in getting a TTY unit for the Police Dept.
Mr. Bowman addressed the council and audience, to briefly explain
the TTY unit. He stated there are .·approximately 3,000 deaf people
and 21,000 hearing impaired people in Pulaski County, and 136,000
hearing impaired state wide. The deaf and hearing impaired people are the
most misunderstood people because people cannot see their handicap.
They are trying to locate and identify these people in Jacksonville.
The TTY unit has a keyboard, much like a typewriter, that the person
types his message on to the party on the other unit. The phone is
usually connected to the lights (the lights will blink on and <J off)
to let the person know the phone is ringing.
Unidentified lady in audience: stated she has two sons and both are
deaf. She has a TTY unit in her home for her son~ use. ThJs un;it
has helped her sons to live a more normal life. She stressed the need
of a TTY unit in the Police Dept. because if a deaf person in Jacksonville
needs the Police or Fire Dept., they have to call the North L;ittle
Rock or Little Rock Police Dept. and they in turn call the Jacksonville
Police Dept. (The No. Little Rock and Little Rock Pol;ice Depts. have
a TTY unit.)
Mr. Breeding stated the price per unit ranges from $550. to $600.
He would like to work with the council on purchasing a unit, if they
decide to purchase one for the Police Dept.

SANITATION DEPT:
Mayor R e id expl a ined the city had closed the landfill on Loop Road at
the request of the owners. The city is in the process of obtaining
another sight to use as a landfill. We have found a place, on West
Main, and are waiting an okay from Pollution Control. Pollution
Control has started the paperwork and we anticipate in approximately 30
to 60 days we will have approval for the new sight. We are asking for
a permit to dump trash and not garbage. We have been asked by Pollution
Control to have more control over the new sight so there will not be
any garbage thrown in. (Garbage was being thrown in the Loop Road
landfill, no one was stationed at the gate to advise people they could
not dump garbage.) Mayor Reid said the new sight on West Main was
larger that the old landfill sight and felt we could use it for a
number of years. He went on to say the council needed to approve
approximately $5,000 from contingency, to temporarily cover expenses
of dumping trash until the new sight is approved. We are now having
to pay $15. per trailer load and $7. per dump truck load to dump trash
elsewhere.
Alderman Wilson moved, seconded by Alderman Keaton to approve the
$5,000 from contingency fund to continue the trash operation. Approved
by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
City Engineer, Bill Owens stated there were hidden cost dealing with
the Sanitation Dept. The Street Dept. had a bill for $2,000 for dirt
used to smother the fire out at the Loop Road landfill, use of Street
personnel and Street Dept. machinery. Alderman Wilson requested that
Finance Director, Gene Kelley, get a break down of the trash cost, such
as truck expense, dirt and any extras they might have, to see what kind
of expenses they have and report back to the council.
Mr. Grant Watters, of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Insurance addressed
the council to explain why the insurance premium was going up 75%.
He handed each councilman a booklet containing the present program
of benefits the city has now, and projected expenses had the city been
with Municipal League for the last three (3) years. He went over the
c~ty usage for the three (3} years the c~ty has been with Blue Cross
~nd :j3l.u,e Sh,ie;Ld. Whe last year t:Pe city paid in premiums of $85,013.13,
Blu,e Cross and Blue Shield paid out claims cost of $189,092.90. Mr.
Watters continued by saying the cost of providing services went up and
this ~ncrease (75%) would be used to offset increases.
D~scuss~on ensued over tne increase. Many Aldermen expressed that
for the first increase, 75 % was extremely high. Mr. Kelley, Finance
Director, stated he firmly objected to the fact that they based it on
the one bad year they city had.
Mr. Bill Phill,ips, of Blue Cross and Blue Shield, addressed the council
and said the rate held for three OJ years with0ut an increase. He
PAGE THREE

f~lt the benefits were excellent with this package and the increase
was competitive.
M~yor :Reid invited both gentlemen back for the insurance meetings to
present their program to the employees of the city. The consensus
of the council was to look at other insurance coverage and cost.
(Meetings are to be held at Park & Recreation Building, on Martin
St. and Hwy. 161, April ,6 and 13, beginning at 6:30P.M. both evenings)
Mayor Reid announced that in his talk with GTE Manager, Mr. Jerry
Crowley, GTE would provide the TTY unit to the Police Dept. as a
service to the commufiity. This umt is to aid the deaf and hearing
impaired citizens of the community in communicating with the Police
Dept. for emergency assistance.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Before council meeting, Mr. Kelley had handed out the monthly reports
to all aldermen and said they were all up to date reports. Mr. Kelley
and Mayor Reid are to meet with the Sewer Commission tomorrow concerning
obtaining their monthly reports each month. (4-3-81)
Mayor Reid asked that we notice the tulips all in bloom and looking
very pretty. He would like the public's opinion on if the city should
continue to buy them on an annual basis. Each year, after they have
finished blooming we pass them on to citizens on a first come basis.
Beginning April 22, Ms. Beckey Hartley, Asst. Coordinator for the Deaf
in Jacksonville will begin a class in Sign Language for persons that
would like to learn the language. The classes will be for eight (8)
weeks, from 7:00 P.M~ -9:00 P.M. each Wednesday night. A permanent
location has not been found but two possibilities are City Hall, Mayor's
Office and Police & Courts Building classroom. The cost for the course
is $15.00 and there is a book "Sign Language Made Simple" to purchase
which is about $10.00. These classes are to provide aid to the deaf
and try to service their needs.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50P.M. with consent from all present.

Mayor Reid presented the Audit Report for the Wastewater Utility
for 1980, and asked Mr. B.J. Boroughs, Sewer Commission Chairman,
to give the council an oral report for the year.
Mr. Boroughs stated the Wastewater Utility had had a good year in
1980. Their revenues were up but also expenses were up but revenues
had covered the expenses. They had increased the Wastewater Utility
by four (4) employees and were making progress on their new plant.
They should be ready to close the purchase of the land for the new
sight in a couple of weeks. They are in Step I of the three step
phase, and expect to have it approved by EPA in approximately thirty
(30) days. Step II will beg ,iri ndrawing of the specs and will take
about one year. Step III is the actual construction of the building.
The construction phase, from start to finish, is approximately
eighteen months to two years long.
Alderman Wilson asked Mr. Boroughs if something could be done about
the way the telephone is 1 isted in the phone book. It is 1 isted
under Wastewater Utility and most people look under 11 S 11 Sewer Dept.
It is confusing for a lot of people. Mr. Boroughs said he would take
care of it. Mayor Reid told Mr. Boroughs he appreciated the good job
the utility was doing and their cooperation in getting the monthly
reports over to the council this month.

DEVIATION IN AGENDA: PUBLIC HEARING:
It was not 8:00p.m. and time for the public hearing. Mayor Reid
opened the public hearing and explained reason for hearing. The
council had been asked to grant zoning variance authorization for
a prayer mission. Mayor Reid stated if anyone was there to speak
for or against the prayer mission,,the floor was now open.
The Bishop from the Church of Christ in North Little Rock, stated
this was an out growth of the Church and was to provide a nucleus
in this area. This mission would allow fo~ 12~15 people and allow
it to grow.
No one was at the hearing opposing the building. Mayor Reid closed
the public hearing at 8:05p.m.
Alderman Abdin moved, seconded by Alderman Smith, to approve the
building of a prayer mission on Ghoshen Street. Approved by voice
vote. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Reid gave an update on the proposed landfill sight on West Main
Street. He said Pollution Control had been out to take soil samples and
we will get a written report from them. They still say we need a full
scale engineering plan. City Engineer, Bi'll Owens, stated the
engineering plans with a topography map of the whole sight would be
about $8,000, to $10,000. The sight contains 80 acres. Alderman
Abdin stated he had received calls from several people tn the area
of the proposed landftll sight, and they are very concerned because
it will be so close to thei·r nei·ghborhood, Mayor Rei·d satd there
would be a public hearing held by Pollution Control on proposed sight
as part of the procedures, Our major drawback is the property being
in the 100~year flood plane.

/(9:
Alderman Abdin moved, seconded by Alderman Knight, to table landfill
discussion until next regular meeting date . Approved by voice vote.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Reid presented a letter from Alderman Steve Hughes concerning
the trash service. Alderman Hughes said he had talked with North
Little Rock and Little Rock Sanitation Dept. and both have discontinued
the trash pick up. He would like to see it c~t out or charge the
people that use the service so it can break even. Mayor Reid stated
he supports the trash service as is and would not support charging for
the seY.-vice.
Unidentified resident of Shady Lane, was opposed to the landfill at
the new sight because it was close to his neighborhood.
Discussion ensued concerning how to charge for trash pick up. It was
decided for Billy Gilmore, Sanitation Supervisor, Mr. Gene Kelley,
Finance Director and some one from the Water Dept. meet and m~ke a
study of the system and report back to the council. ·
Mayor Reid stated there had been two meetings : for Insurance Companies
to make proposals to the employees. Only four companies had made
proposals. The Dept. Heads met and voted to continue with Blue Cross
Blue Shield. Mayor Reid asked the council to consider a split in city
contribution and employee contribution of 80 for indiviual and 50 for
family to keep the premiums from going up so much.
Mr. Bill Tack of Tack & Todd Agency in Jacksonville, addressed the
council and said he did not feel his company was treated fairly.
All aompanies had been asked to present only a one (1) page proposal
and his company was the only one that presented one (1) page and he
could not do justice on one (1) page. He also felt there was not enough
time to prepare an alternate quote.
Mr. Bill Phillips, Blue Cross Blue Shield, addressed the council in
opposition of the 80/50 split. He did not feel the burden should be
placed on the employee. He felt if you grant the split, the good
risk drop out of the program and you have the bad risk covered. (The
good risk have good health and do not feel they need health insurance
or they have coverage through their spouse.) Alderman Wilson asked
Mr. Phillips approximately when next year would Blue Cross Blue Shield
know if the city would have an increase or not. Mr. Phillips replied
basicly ten months to one year time . ·
Mr. Larry Goddard, Metropolitan Insurance Co., felt they did not have
enough information on the coverage the city has with present company
nor all the census data on the employees. He too felt there was not
enough time to gather all information needed.
Alderman Abdin moved, seconded by Alderman Knight, to appoint a six (6)
member committee to study insurance proposals and tome up with a solution
that is fair to everyone, to prepare same coverage as city now has with
Blue Cross Blue Shield and to pay Blue Cross Blue Shield for one (1)
month coverage at new rate and go out for bids on insurance. ROLL CALL
and the following voted aye, Aldermen: Knight, Smith, Brooks, Hughes,
Fletcher, Abdin and Keaton. Aldermen : Wilson and Williamson voted nay.
Motion received 7 affirmative votes, 2 negative votes. MOTION CARRIED.
The committee will consist of one (1) member from each dept: Water,

Mayor Reid announced that HUD has accepted our second year funding as submitted
for review. We have a three year program established for Sunnyside Hills, but
have to go back on a yearly basis for approval.
DEVIATION IN AGENDA: UPDATE ON DIXION:
Mayor Reid deviated from published Agenda and introduced Mr. Jarrell Southall,
Arkansas State Dept. of Pollution Control and Ecology. Mayor Reid stated he
had asked Mr. Sout~all to present an update on his recent findings concerning
test that had been taken in Dupree Lake, Bayou t•1eta.! and Vertac ,,concerning
dhion.
Mr. Southall stated that this week, his department had concluded a survey of
Bayou Meta and Dupree Lake. It appears the concentration of dixion seen in the
past has degraded. What the department found a year ago in the lower reaches
of Bayou ~~eta they did not find this year when they tested. Concerning Dupree
Lake, the department found settlement of dixion in the same range in the fish
as last year. The Food and Drug Administration has not arrived at a sarfie 1 evel
of dixion. He stated in Lake Dupree we found about .8 parts per billion this
year compared to 480 parts per trillion found last year. Another area of concern
for the city would be the oxidation ponds, but we do not know exactly how they
should be treated. Samples collected from Rocky Branch just south of Vertac
showed 1 ow 1 evel of d i xi on in the soi 1 . Mr. Southa 11 stated~ as a genera 1 rule
dixion is tightly bound to clay particles amd not to water.
Alderman Fletcher expressed the concern of manyrJof the citizens in the area that
is affected, who had wanted to plant vegetable gardens this year but did not know
what the effect would be. Mr. Southall said he would be reluctant to have a
garden. Alderman Fletcher also questioned Mr. Southall on how often samples
were taken of the area. Mr. Southall replied, once a year. He went on to say,
that his office had not heard anything from the researchers that came down from
Mt. Sinai and tested the residents in the area and people from the Vertac plant.
Mr. Tracey McKay, a Vertac employee, addressed the council to say that everyone
tested had been contacted and "no r:one had anything. u The acne they were so
concerned with was found to have been brought with them from the time they were
teen-agers. He went on to say that Vertac is keeping the chemical area isolated,
the wa te~ , is being recycled 24 hours a day. The i system i's being monitored very
closely by the plant engineers.
Mr Southall stated, his department wanted to test in the low reaches of Bayou
Meta this year in the fall, if there is enough time. There is sampling done
yearly in the area where dixion was found before so we can see what it is doing.
Mayor Reid thanked Mr. Southall for coming and giving us thts informati'on, and
asked if i'rt would be possi:bl e for the council members to receive a copy of the
reports, semi'-annually or annually, from his department. He also said he would
like to receive updates from Vertac, if possible. Mr. Southall said he would be
glad to furnish the reports.
FIRE DEPARTMENT:
Ma.)l.or Reid asked Chief Smart to address the council on the improvements for the
department. Chief Smart stated the equipment 1 isted to purchase was a one time
purchase, this equipment will 1ast approxi'mately 15 -20 years. He went on to
say, two items from i:the 1 ist could be eliminated and we could still make class 4
rating. They were the portable radio and OxyAcetylene cutting unit. We could

NON-AGENDA ITEM: UPDATE ON FINANCIAL 'REPORT:
At this time, Mayor Reid asked Gene Kelley, Finance Director, to ur:Oate the
council on the financial report he had handed to each Alderman before the meeting.
Mr. Kelley stated there were three (3), depts. that were look;Lng rough. The
increase in the sanitation rate w:i:ll help the sanitation dept. sane. The city
mechanic budget is down due to gasoline, but we hope the new key systen that was
just installed this week. will help that problen. Cormty taxes are down 9% and
that is hurting us. In the street dept., we have $103,000 in cash, but we do not
have a sufficent ending l:E.lance in the general fu,nd and find it necessary to borrow
frcm street to make payro11 fran time to time. OVerall the budget looks pretty
gcx:x:l at this t.ime.

Chief Smart explained he would like the council to accept the alternate bid on
item #l fran Fire App. & Safety, who had the low bid. On items #2 and #3, Chief
Smart did not want to order because he is planning to exchange this equipuent
for other equipnent to attain a higher point score for the class 4 rating.

POLICE DEPAR'IMENI':
Mayor Reid recognized Mr. Wayne Lee, Attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police.
Mr. Lee requested the Mayor and council appoint a cc:mni ttee of br..D to meet and
discuss a contract for the Police Dept. Each council member had been given
a' copy of a contract drawn'.lllP by ,the Fraternal Order of Police for their review.
Alderman Wilson stated he felt the council as a whole should be in on any
discussion of the contract, to insure there are not problems down the road. He
stated we need to discuss whether we want a cmtract or not. Aldernan Wilson
requested the council study and review this contract until the next meeting to
see if we want to pursue a contract. Mayor Reid agreed, this is a major
decision for our ccmnunity. We have never entered into a contract with any
deparbnent. The consensus reached was for the council to read and study this
contract and cane back at the next regular meeting to decide on whether a contract
is called for or not.
STREEI' DEPT • :
Mayoc Re~d announeed that everyone was in agreement for the city to pay $1,900.00
of the $2,400.00 for phase II, and we will not pay for any in phase III. As of
nCM work in phase III has been tenninated.
Mr. Eddy L. O'Ma:r:y, 200 Harold Street, asked to address the council concerning
the drainage in the Harold Street area. He had brought pictures 0f his heme
that had been flooded during the recent rains we have had. He said every year it
canes heavy rains his house floods. He requested the council put more money into
drainage to correct this. Mayor Reid explained we were doing drainage work in
that area and are still working on drainage in that area. The city is t:r:ying to
eliminate the water problem in the whole area.
City Engineer, Bill ONens, said approximately 20% of water could be alleviated
with a pipe placed under Graham Road. With a pipe under Graham Road, the 3 1 or
4 1' ra.;i:ns would not flood tl"le houses. This will not guarntee that a 6 1' rain will
not flood the houses, but the pipe will help. It will cost about $2, 000. 00 to
install the pipe.

Alderman Knight moved, seconded by Alderman Hughes, to approve $2,000.00
to place a pipe under Graham Road to help the drainage in the Harold Street
area. Approved by unanimous voice vote. MOI'ICN CARRIED. (Funding: Street

CCMMUNITY DEVELOP:MENI':
Concerning the change in the CD Engineering contract, Mayor Reid said after
further engineering work HUD said the problem contributed to t!he target area.
We will still remove the $400.00 and proceed with full plans to finish this
work.
PARK & RB:FEATION DEPT:
SANITATION DEPT:
Mayor Reid stated he had read the ordinance on garbage and trash, and could
not find where he was violating the ordinance in regards to bundling limbs or
cutting than in certain lengths. He was still in favor of obtaining a 40 yard
dumpster fran Arkansas Waste Dis:posal, for the people that want to haul the
trash or cuttings themselves. He is requesting the council approve a dumpster,
on a trial basis, to be placed outside the fenced area off Industrial Drive by the
city warehouse.
Aldennan Wilson said he rode with Billy Gilmore, Sanitation Supervisor, one day
and it was inexcuseable the way sane of the trash is put out for the men to pick
up. He felt this is a resonable service, but would like to see that portion of
the ordinance rewritten to add a manner for the trash to be placed out for pick
up.
The consensus teached was for the sanitation ccmnittee _to war~ with _the sanita ...
tion supervisor and have .an ordinance for -the next council meeting, and to
contact Arkansas Waste for a 4.0 yard dumpster on a tr.i'al bas±s.

NON-AGENDA ITEM: HELP FOR THE HANDICAPPED:
Alderman Knight moved, secrmded by Alderman Wilson, to place on agenda for discussion,
a request to initiate more help for the handicapped that shop in JaCksonville, or
go into public offices. Approved by unanimous voice vote. MOI'ION CARRIED.
Alderman Knight is requesting that more spaces be made available for the handi-
capped and that there be a penalty for violators that park in these spaces. In
order for there to be a penalty, it would be necessary for the city to have
traffic control over the parking lots. We have only one parking lot in town that
has granted the city to have jurisdiction of traffic control. I would like for
us to contact the owners of the other parking lots and find out their feelings
on this rratter. Mayor Reid suggested that letters be sent to owners of the parking
lots asking for thetr responses.

Aldennan Wilson stated he was concerned alx>ut so many subsidized housing
projects for Jack!llonville. There are 298 subsidized housing units for
Jacksonville that HUD has a pproved and he questions if we really want that
many. It seems the request for this type houses is growing by leaps and
bourrls and I would like to see it slow down. Mayor Reid explained this is
haw the city qualifies for federal funding. There are 100 units to be built
but a location has not been found to build on.

Several citizens were present for the next item of business which was the discussion
of General Telephone's rate increase. Mrs. Ezell spoke to the council and asked
them to pass a resolution asking the Public Service OOmmission to remove General
Telephone's franchise. The increase they are asking for, in these times is insensitive
and callous and we do not want to be serviced by this canpany. She asked that the
council present the Public Service Commission with a stronger resolution against
Generral Telephone.
Cartrnents fran the Audience:
Judy Wilson stated at the public hearing, heil.ld by: the Pu)::)lic Service Carmission,
Mr. Norton of the Ccmnission asked for the people to go back to their City Council
and get a stronger resolution and bring it back to the carmission. We are asking

for a strong resolution asking the Public Service Commission to help in getting
the franchise changed or get it out and get another phone canpany in.
Aldennan Knight asked if this decision could be r::ut to the people by way of a
ballot in November.
Jerry Crowley, General Manager of General Telephone, said they had hired to
Public Service Commission to represent them in matters like this. This increase
hasn 1 t been passed, why don 1 t you wait and see if they are going to r:ass the
increase before you do anything like this. They might turn it down.
Veta Thanas said the people have been paying an increase fran 1978 that has not
been approved by the Public Service Cammission but we are having to pay it while
it is being fought in court.
City Attorney, Paul Groce said he VJOuld help to draft a resolution, but he did not
feel General Telephone would loose their franchise. General consensus was to
draw up a stronger resolution and bring it back to the council at the next regular
meeting.

Mayor Reid stated he would like to see the council table this Resolution until the
rate case is settled. Alde:rrnan Durham stated he had sponsored this Resolution
~ause the people had wanted it. Since he placed it on the Agenda, he has had
sane serious thoughts about it. General Telephone has provided better service to
people than they have in a long time and a lot has to go to the employees they have
now. This Resolution was to have been sanething for the people to take to the PSC
opposing the rate increase. hlderrnan Durham said he felt this Resolution was a
slap in the face of GTE 1 s service people and I am withdrawing this Resolution.
Alderman Fletcher said he agreeded with Alderman Durham and felt the rate increase
is outrageous. Alderman Fletcher then moved to place the original resolution he

carmot stand it. With A P & L and Arkla Gas you can turn them down and it will
help but you can't turn your phone off. Veta Thanas: A phone is a necessity,
you can 1 t turn it off. Judy Wilson: This increase is unjustified and unfair.
\"le do not want to hurt the employees. The original Resolution was a good one
until it was watered down. We need a Resolution that will do some good with
the PSC. E. Ray Smith: stated Jacksonville's rates were higher than any · · 1:'

CAIL TO ORDER: INVOCATION: PLEDGE OF A:LIB3:r.AN:E:
The City Council of the City of Jacksonville, Arkansas, met in Special Session,
Thursday, August 27, 1981, at 7:00P.M., in the office of the Mayor, City Hall,
Municipal Building, Jacksonville, Arkansas. The Special Session was called. to
order by Mayor Reid who first delivered the Invocation then lead the standing
audience in the "Pledge of Allegiance To The Flag".
ROLL CALL:
The City Clerk called. the ROLL and the following :rranbers were present: Aldermen:
Knight, Smith, Hughes, Wilson, Durham, Fletcher, Abdin, Keaton and Williamson.
PRESENT: 9. ABSENT: 0. QUORUM DEClARED. Others present: Mayor Reid; Paul Groce,
City Attorney; Billy GiJmore, Sanitation Supervisor; and several citizens interested.
in i tern being discussed.
NON-AGENDA:
Mayor Reid announced. that Finance Director, EUgene Kelley, would :qe leaving the city
SeptEmber 14 . An advertisement is going to the three papers, Democrat, Gazette and
Jackscnville Daily News advertising the vacancy. The cut off date for filing an
application is September 8. Applications and a job description may be picked. up
at City Hall for any one interested..
GENERAL: SANITATION DEPT:
Mayor Reid said he felt the sanitation dept. was doing a good job as they were. The
.50¢ increase in fees that was passed last December was to pay for the dumping of
trash. The department will over run in saue line items of the budget , but the over
all budget will still balance at the end of the year. I do not feel it is feasible
to go to a new system.
Alderm:m Hughes stated. the pacl<et and figures l3illy Gilmore, sanitation supervisor
had canpiled. told the expenses of the department. · More money has been spent on repairs
of the trucks than had been anticipated., such as last month when repairs were $4,000.
Cost of the present operatton ;ts $355,000 with trash picl<up and cost without ~trash
pickup would be $262,200. The projected cost of operation with two new diesel trucks
and no trash pickup is $231,000. 'savings with the diesel truck and no trash pickup
would be $120, 000. This does not inelude the cost of trucks.
Billy Gilmore, Sanitation Supervisor, sa;td the new system would consist of purchasing
three new diesel truc)<s and 5, 000 karts. The kart holds a weeks supply of garbage
and there is nothing setting outside the )<art ,for the animals to ,get into. · The karts
attach to a specially designed. vehicle that autanatically empties the karts. The
system takes only one man per truck. We now use three men per truck. The projected.
cost of the new system ;ts $439,425 for three trucks and 5, 000 karts.
Last year, some of the aldermen went to Springfield, Missouri, to see the operation
of this system. ,A,lde:rmen Durham and Knight agreed there was a difinite difference
on their streets on garbage picl<up day. The~ streets were c1ean as could be.
Alderman Knight said the system was worth looking into.
Aldenna.n Williamson arrl other aldermen questioned if the sanitation dept. was bringing
in more money than it was paying out. Finance Director, Gene Kelley, stated when
PAGE 'IWO
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL .MEETING
AUGUS'I' 27 1 1981
the budget was originated, it was never the intent to equate the incoming with
the dispersants of the sanitation dept. The sanitation dept. supports the general
fund it is not an enterprise fund. The . 50¢ increase was intended to help out the
dept. cost of the landfill fee. The department will over run their expenditure
budget by approximately $36,000. in salaries, overtime, vehicle cost, gas, oil and
repairs but, the Mayor is right the aver all budget is all right.
If the city converts to the new systan the sanitation dept. would loose 10 men.
Mayor Reid said he was not in favor of losing men who are making a living for their
family. Alderman Wilson said the tax payers cane first, if we can save than rroney
by going to a better systsn then it should be looked into.
Finance Director, Gene Kelley, said if the city goes to the new systsn they will
have to go to the enterprise systsn of bookkeeping to make it work.
Alderman Hughes moved, seconded by Alderman Wilson, to go to the enterprise systan
of bookkeeping starting January 1, 198 2. Approved by unanirrous voice vote.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Kelley advised the council that when the city goes to the enterprise fund
$35, 000 in receipts woold need to go to the general fund. Council agreed the
sanitation dept. could be assessed each year like the water and sewer depts.
Searcy, Ar.TkEmsas, is getting ready to present this new systsn to the council for
their consideration. Memphis, Tennessee, has already started this new system in
parts of the city. Discussion then turned to how they funded the systan. , J
Mayor Reid said he felt the 1¢ sales tax issue would be the answer. Alderman
Wilson said perhaps a capital improv!2ment bond might be the place to get the
money. After more discussion about the cost of borrowing the money and where they
could get the money, consensus' was to visit Searcy, Arkansas, and MEmphis,
Tennessee, to see how to fund the systan and how it is working in these cities.
Alderman Al::rlin moved, secorrled by Alderman Smith, to adjourn. Approved by
unanirrous voice vote. MariON CARRIED. Meeting adjourned at 8:14 P.M.

Mayor Reid introduced Mr. Jim Douglas of BPI Waste Systems. Mr. Douglas addressed
the council with a proposal for a residential franchise contract.
Mr. Douglas said the contract would be a two year contract. The cost to the
customer, per month, would be $4.50 for twice a week pick-up and this fee would be
guaranteed for two years. Their rules and regulations for garbage pick-up are as
follows: the garbage must be in plastic bags or 20 -30 gallon garbage cans with
nothing loose on the ground; the can or bags must be placed up to 3' from the curb
line; BFI does not put lids back on the cans and if a card board box is out and
gets wet and tears apart when we pick it up it stays on the ground.
The conditions for trash pick up is as follows: trash will be bundled in 5'
lengths and not over 6' in diameter; bundles should not be over 50 pounds per
bu nd 1 e.
The city would have the responsibility of billing. After the two years, the council
would set the fee for pick-up. We agree to use the 11 good 11 employees the Sanitation
Dept. a:]ready has, but we do not want to buy the Sanitation Dept. trucks.
Council asked Mr. Douglas about commercial pick-up. He replied he would not be able
to pick up commercial at the price quoted above. He said it would depend on the size
of their load, but he would negotitate with them. Counci'l requested Mr. Douglas

present them something in writing by next meeting time so they could study it.
Mr. Douglas said he would have them something by then.
PUBLIC HEARING: CI TI ZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN:
Mayor Re i d announced it wa s now 8 :00 P.M. and time for the scheduled public hearing.
This hearing was scheduled for the last council meeting, but was postponed until'
this meeting so that Comm. Development Director Jerry Lee could be present to answer
questions. This hearing is a requirement of H.U.D., in order to receive input
from citizens concerning this project and the work being done. This hearing is on
the second year funding for the Sunnyside Hills project. Mayor Reid then asked if
anyone would like to ask any questions or express their feelings and thoughts.
Dir. Lee stated the priorities would remain the same as in the first year, this
hearing was more in line with the funding of the administration. Two hearings per
year are held telling H.U.D. the details of the funding requirements, performance
reports and evaluation of what they are doing. These hearings are held on the
third Thursday of the month at 6:00P.M., at 128 Pike Avenue, and are open to the
public.
Mrs. Addie Ghoshen, Ray Road, asked if this was just for Sunnyside or was it open
to all of Jacksonville? Dir. Lee stated the Citizen Participation Plan was for all
of Jacksonville. There are provisions in the regulations to do work outside the
target area, on advise from the rehabilitation committee. The committee is
responsible :for deciding where spot rehabilitation will be.
Alderman Wilson asked Dir. Lee about the drainage CIDmmittee and rehabilitation
committee, he had not heard of them meeting lately. Dir. Lee explained because of
lack of attendance, these committees were combined into one committee. Alderman
Wilson was concerned if there is a supervisor to see the funds are operated as
they should be. He requested, if possible, for the entire council to obtain copies
of the minutes of this meeting. Dir. Lee said he would have them included in the
agenda packets .
Alderman Wilson remembered at the last meeting he had asked for reports containing
the number of applications for rehab. projects and various other things. He asked
if this report could be attached to the minutes. Dir. Lee said he would attach
the reports to the minutes.
After no further comments, Mayor Reid ruled Public Hearing closed at 8:15 P.M.

STREET DEPT: REALIGNMENT OF INTERSECTION/GREX;ORY ST. & NORTH FIRST ST. : :
City Eng. CMens stated he talkEd. with the highway department concerning realigning
Gregory Street and North First Street. The highway dep:1rtment agreed to do this work
for us using their funds if we provide the right-of-way. Abcut 4 , 000 sq. ft. of
right-of-way v.Duld be neErled. (Bible Baptist Church is owner of property needed for
right-of-way.) The proposed change is to put an island in the intersECtion,
rraking the traffic going north on North First Street stop to make a left turn cnto
North First Street. At present, North First Street traffic has the right-of-way
an::1 Gre:Jory Street traffic has to stop to turn left or right. The traffic count
shows the traffic flow is greater on Gre:Jory Street. The proposEd. change would
give Gregory Street traffic the right-of-way.
Alderman Fletcher asked if a stop light could be placEd. at this intersection instead
of this island. Eng. <Mens answered there has not been enough cross traffic to
warrant a stop light.
Alderman Wilson was conc:erned about how this change v.Duld effECt connECting
Vandenburg and Loop Road. City Eng. said when and if this does happen (connecting
Vandenburg and Loop) , the Gre:Jory Street and North First Street intersection would
be changEd. back to basically the way it is now. However, the state dept. has not
given me any encouragement as to the connecting of Van::1enburg and Loop Road or
to widening North First Street to a four-lane highway.
Consensu.s reachEd. was to go ahead with the proposEd. cha.nge if the church would
donate the right-of-way property.

DISCUSSION: PORCHASE OF PORrABLE SIGN:
CITY QF JACKSONVIlLE, ARKANSAS
REGUlAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
OCI'OBER 15, 1981
Mayor Reid said he would like to see the city purchase a portable sign to use in
advertising city wide corrmumi ty functions. It could also be usErl to advertise
civic club and church functions. This would eliminate the banners across Main St.
'Ihls sign would be located in the triangle on Main St. in fro:rnt of the Firestone
store.
Discussion then turned to a permanent sign versus a portable sign. A permanent sign
wwld be more attractive. Consensus reachErl was since this sign would be used to
advertise more than city functions, the city contact an organization to donate
materials and build a perrranent sign at aforementioned location. No city funds
will be usErl for this project.
