ary expenses are less than in the 1982 budget. In regard to the
five departments with the Public Works Department, he said that
there had been exchanging of ideas and assistance to each other
at a high level. He said there had been money advanced from the
various departments along with money from the City Clerks office
to purchase a .computer terminal which will be beneficial to all
the departments. He pointed out various projects which had been
completed with regard to the Street Department. He presented a
map which showed a motion study and changes made in the Sanitation
Department which he said had made the workings of that department
more efficient. He mentioned that assis ·tance had been given to the
Code Enforcment Officer by an employee from the Street Department.
Concerning CDBG he made note of two changes in the program; the
first was moving the department as such from sunnyside to City Hall
and thus eliminating a sizable savings in utilities and reducing
the staff from three employees to two employees with the addition
of a part time consultant~ The report included a status report of
the CDBG projects for 1982. He said the work in the Street Dept.
had been excellent and newspaper headlines in the Jacksonville
Daily News on December 28, 1982, "Water Rises in City but Flood-
ing Not Serious" was a tribute to the department. He stated that
he felt the Dept. as it was set up was a tribute to the City of
Jacksonville and the Mayor and not ~ detriment.

He also noted that there were not a lot of capital improvements

Mr. Oskowis noted that the rate increase made ~y North Little Rock

SEWER DEPARTMENT:
FIRE DEPARTMENT:
POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Alderman Durham moved, seconded by Alderman Boyd to accept One
Moore Ford's bid for six police cars in the amount of $56,772.00.
Alderman Fletcher asked whether or not the Dodge Diplomat was
a full sized car, noting that said car was listed in the bid
submitted by Jacksonville Dodge.
There was a question of terminology with regard to the meaning
of full si:ze.
Mr. Bob Williams from Jacksonville Dodge presented a brief run
down of the different sizes of cars from other manufacturers in
comparison to the Dodge Diplomat.
There was discussion concerning ,inf:orm9-'tion from the North Little
Rock Police Department with the Dodge Diplomats used by their
Policemen concerning a possible structural fatigue problem. It
was noted by Capt. Randy Daily of the Jacksonville Police Dept.
that maintenance on the Diplomats used by the NLR Police Dept.,
amounted to seven hundred seventy-three dollars ($773.00) for the
first ten (10) months and that maintenance on a Ford automobile
for the same amount of time amounted to sixty-one dollars ($61. 00).
Alderman Durham noted that the NLR Police Dept., had problems of
the same nature with one (1) out of every five (5) Dodge Diplomats
used by said Dept.
Alderman Knight made mention of a previous lawsuit with regard to
bids. She and Alderman Smith requested fairness to local bidders
in the Councils selection of a bid.
It was pointed out by Capt. Daily that the light bars were too
large f~r the Diplomat and that the cages were not a proper fit
for the car as well. He noted that a possible cost of $3,500.00
for lights and $2,000.00 for cages would be needed to equip the
new cars properly.
He also made mention of a steel chasis versus the unibody con-
struction of the Diplomat which he said was one of the reasons
the Dodge Diplomat was not preferred by the Jacksonville Police
Department.
Mayor Reid made comment that the Dodge cars are being used all
over the country as Police cars and called for a vote on the
aforementioned motion. ROLL CALL: Aldermen: Smith, Lewis,
Boyd, Durham, Gray, Keaton and Williamson voted AYE. Aldermen:

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 616 WHICH RECLASSIFIED
VARIOOSPROPERTIES IN THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS (GEN.
LOCATION: STONEWALL SUBDIVISION; HIGHVJAY 161/CORNER OF E. MAR-
TIN STREET), AND WHICH AMENDED ORDINANCES NUMBERED 213 AND
238 OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS: AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
City Engineer Owens stated that in checking the zoning map he
found that there is an approximate three (3) acre site zoned
R-5 surrounded by acrea~e zoned R-3 in the stonewall Subdivi-
sion. He said that the request for the property CY revert back to
the R-3 zoning had been made too late to put a cover letter in
the agenda packet. He said that he explained to the petitioners
the normal procedures used in rezoning property, but that due to
money available from a bond issue there was a need for construc-
tion to begin as soon as the first of February.
Mr. Bozeman, an Architect in connection with the development of
the proposed 48 unit. apartment complex explained that a develop-
er had previously dealt with Savers on the property under discus-
sion and had come before the Planning Commission requesting the
R-5 zoning which now exists. He said that contact with Mr. owens
with regard to a pre-permit inspection had revealed the zoning
problem. He said that the developer making the rezoning request
had an option to buy which he did not exercise. He said the
action was taken without Savers knowledge.
He said that the original intent for the use of the land would
be fulfilled if this request is granted, and that all the origin-
al requirements would be met.
City Attorney Vaughan stated that passage of this Ordinance would
cause the property described therein to revert back to its
original zoned status of R~3.
Alderman Smith moved, seconded by Alderman Williamson to table
ORDINANCE 6 9 5 (#6-83) until the Planning Commission deals with
the item. By a unanimous voic vote, the MOTION CARRIED.
It was pointed out by Mr. Bozeman that in the original develop-
ment by Rector, Phillips, Morse for Savers that it was zoned
R-3 and that those people buying homes in stonewall were aware of
the zoning at that time, restating that what is being asked for
is the zoning that was legally held at that time.
General consensus was that proper channels should be followed
with regard to the request for rezoning.
Planninq Commfssion. Cha1rman Gray ·vo1ced that he felt a bad precedent would be set
if the request to repeal Ordinances 213 and 238 is granted with
regard to plans set up by the Council and Planning Commission
in dealing with such matters.
PAGE NINE CI'I'Y OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 20, 1983
There was discussion with regard to Savers knowledge about the
rezoning and a letter supposedly dated in the year 1980 from
Savers to the city offices stating their position as being nega~
tive with regard to rezoning of the property. Mr. Bozeman said
that through a telephone conversation with City Jing ;ii neer owens
he had been given information that the zoning of the property
being discussed at the corner of E. Martin Street and Highway
161 was R-3 which proved to be in error when the pre~permit
review was presented to Mr. Owens.
City Engineer Owens stated that he had not seen the legal descip-
tion of the property until the pre-permit review stating that he
regretted the problem but pointing out that there was other pro-
perty in the same general location of the acreage zoned R-3.
Mayor Reid stated that he was confident that if a letter had
been mailed to the city offices from Savers that there would be
a copy on file.

cars would need to be serviced twice as often as other city vehicles but that he
felt other useful things could be bought with the money that would be used for the
lathe. He said he was speaking for others in the business community concerninq
the item.

He said the residents desire that the home be removed from
voiced approval of the passage of the Ordinance.
Alderman Rick Gray stated that he felt definitions as per the Ordinance would
not be able to stand in court; that components should be considered as well
tj;n clarifying defin .i1tions.
City Engineer Owens stated that he did not agree with the Ordinance in that
quality of construct~on was not addressed therein. He said it allows mobile
and manufactured housing in the same area; that a distinction is made between
them in the Ordinance but that they have been put together in specifically
zoned areas. He said that he had contacted VA/FHA and they will make 30 yr.
loans on the manufactured home. He noted the slope of the roof stating that
asthetics is not a reason for exclusion from a given area. He said that his
department is concerned with structural integrity. He also noted that there
is a considerable difference in the price of mobile and manufactured homes
stating that the reason is the type of construction. He added that there are
very few houses in Jacksonville that could be moved ten (10) or fifteen (15)
miles without a lot of structural damage. He stated that he could see problems
with the 11 $ite built 11 house definition. He said that the competition is great
in the market place in that the modular/manufactured home does compete with
homes in R-0 and R-1 zoned areas.
Mr. Dan Shumate questioned whether or not Section 4 (R-0/R-1) prohibits Modular
homes even though they meet the building codes of the City and the Bills of
Assurance regarding specific subdivisions. Alderman Knight answered in the
a ffi rmat i ve.
His next question concerned Section 9; R-4 districts. He asked if this allowed
for the development of manufactured housing subdivisions where the lots could be
sold as any other subdivision. Alderman Knight answered in the affirmative. He
noted that it is stated mobile home parks and suggested that the wording reflect
what is mea~t with regard to the manufactured housing subdivisions.
City Attorney Vaughan said that zoning Ordinances themselves are for asthetic
pruposes adding that is one of the reasons for having them. He sa~d that he felt
it would have to be amended; setting up areas for manufactured housing. He said
he felt it would be upheld in court.
Alderman Smith said that he felt there ·m1ght need to be fur~her defining of
the words 11 Site built 11
• He said he thought it was a step forward and voiced
appreciation for any help Mr. Shumate had given the committee.
Alderman Durham asked the City Engineer at what point he considered a home to be
modular or manufactured in comparison to a 11 Site built 11 dwelling.
City Engineer Owens comments were that he s1aw the first Ordinance drawn up as
definitions and the the next time he saw the Ordinance presented at the Council
meeting it had them put in;specified areas. He said he had tried to decide just
how many pieces could be brought in put together but added that he thought
people like Mr. Shumate would be out of business.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING,
FEBRUARY 17, 1983
City Engineer Owens added that he felt the differentiation would be whether
or not the wiring and plumbing could be inspected by the city. He said such
would be considered a non-manufactured or modular home .
Alderman Knt~ht said that the committee had worked on the definitions for
approximately four months and added that she appreciated the input from Mr.
Shumate and Lane Kidd. She said th~t she felt inspections ~~ke a house a
11 Site built 11 dwelling and that the · City Engineer understood that being able
to make inspections on the wiring and plumbing during construction of a home
is what is meant by 11 Site built 11 •
Alderman Fletcher voiced that he felt there should be subdivisions set aside
for the manufactured homes and that he was not trying to put anybody out of
business .
Alderman Knight mentioned a committee made up of three Council members and
two planning commission members who are to study the zoning Ordinances adding
that this is not intended to finalize the housing problem but to aid in solving
it.
Dan Shumate stated that he had trouble with the definition of 11 site built 11 •
He said that he had no problems with the developer; no problems when he came to
the Engineering Dept., of the city adding that they were very cautious when
he asked for the permit; that the certification of electrical and plumbing was
done by persons licensed by the State of Arkansas, that construction meets the
SBC adhered to by the City Municipal Codes and that Bill of Assurance was complied
with. He added that he felt manufactured homes were b~ing zoned out. He said that
this housing is a more affordable house to the citizens of the city adding that he
felt the Council should put a lot more study into the matter.
Mr. Barrett was recognized by Mayor Reid and voiced that he and others in the
Woodbriar Subdivision had been told that their property would depreciate due to
the manufactured home befi11]'g in the area. He said he felt the reason for there
not !,being a problem with the developer was that he wanted to get .rid of the lots .
He said he felt the City Engineer was in error in issuing the permit for the
manufactured home.

PUBLIC REARI NG 8:04P.M.
Mayor Reid express ed his appreciation f or the interest shown con-
cerning the matter of chemical waste in the Jacksonville area
which he stated is a very serious matter. He said the purpose
of the meeting was to discuss recent media coverage of the waste
problem in the city. He recognized the following persons
considered experts in the field of chemical wasted control: Dr.
Morris Cranmer of Intox Laboratories, Dr. Lamb of Pollution Con-
trol, Dr. Lofton of State Health Dept., Davis Simmons of Vertac
Chern., Dick Karkkainen, Bob Fisher and Thurman Bennet alsoo f ~ertac.
Alderman Gray stated that he hoped the meeting would reveal facts
concerning the waste problem in Jacksonville area noting that the
industrial development of the future should be kept in mind. He
asked that the media give as much coverage for industrial develop-
ment as has been given to the Vertac situation. ·
Mike Abdin stated that he did not want any undue publicity for
the city regarding the waste problem but asked that facts be
made available to the general public. He noted that in 1979 he
l?AGE EIGHT CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1983
had been involved in addressing the issue.
Betty Moffitt, a resident on Carpenter Street, read a letter
that she had written to the Jacksonville Daily News that the
media did not print. She rela.ted the effects of pol:lution
from Vertac in her opinion upon plant growth and the health of
her family.
Dr. Cramer was recognized by Mayor Reid and said that he felt
that direct conclusions would require a medical study of persons
living close to Vertac and those living a distance from the
factory.
Mrs. Moffitts neighbor said that she had made a survey of per-
sons in the Vertac plant area and that all had said that they
would not have bought homes there had they known about the
pollution from Vertac. She voiced concern for loss of money
with regard to property values. She questioned whether or
not the pollution in the ground could ever be removed from the
area.
Alderman Durham related that he had lived here his entire life,
that his father has been a practicing physician in the area for
26 or 27 years and that he had not seen any epidemic with regard
to health problems in the Jacksonville area. He said that he
had worked in the dust of Dupree Park which is one of the areas
due for cleanup and had suffered no adverse health prob~ems.
He said that he did not know of a new spill of chemical waste.
He said that he felt that the "Arkansas -Democrat" -had hurt
Jacksonville in that they did not have· factual evidence concern-
ing the article that:has drawn·~ttention to the waste problems
in the City.·
David Simmons made reference to a study done in the Jacksonville
area by Mt. sinai Hospital of hundre~of people who worked at
Vertac as well as others in the area. He said that the data
regarding the employees at Vertac showed no scientifically
alarming health problems~ jast the common ailments of Che~ical
Plant employees. He said that he did not know of another
such study that had been done in the area.
It was noted by one ·of the experts from Vertac that Tollulene
would not have remained on site for a number of years. He
stated that since 1978 Vertac has spent about two roillion
dollars on enviornmental and safety problems. He said that
ground samples of 1982 from Vertac Plant area show no detectible
Dioxin at 50 parts per trillion, which is the detection limit.
He said that the plant no longer produces the product that
caused the Dioxin waste chemical. He noted that the Dupree Lake
site waste pollution started with the ownership of the plant in
the 1950's, ~:naming owners' of the plant ·to the ·presen:t time. He said
in the50's the waste was dropped into Rocky Branch Creek. He
explained that the dioxin substance had adhered to the bottom
of the branch and the relativity of ultra violet light to the
same. He speculated that in the time past there was flooding
from Rocky Branch into Dupree Lake even slightly before Vertac
PAGE NINE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1983
was owner of the plant. He said that there was detection of
over fifty (50) parts per trillion found in sediment samples
from Dupree Lake. He said the same laboratory did the analiza-
tion study for dioxin on the Vertac :site property.
He gave the following ownership of the presently owned plant by
Vertac; in th~ fiftys Reasor-Hill, the sixties Hercules, in 1971
Trans-Val and then Vertac.
one of the homeowners questioned the growth of vegetation in
the area of the plant with regard to the air pollution from
Vettac.
One of the experts explained that it was highly unlikely that
the air pollution would cause problems except in the area of
broad leafed plants. He explained the nature of chemical and
the effect of the same. He said it is designed for plants and
that animal and humans were not affected by it in any hazard-
ous way.
With regard to questions concerning the drums supposedly buried
in the area of Rebel Drive, David Simmons said that there was
a difference in aerial photos taken between the years 1952 and
1955 noting that the subdivision was built in 1960. He said
that the Department of Pollution Control bad done a field in-
vestigation which involved the use of metal detectors, followed
by a sampling of the soil compared with the on site soil samples
from Rebel Drive also showed no traces of dioxin. He said he
had received a letter from EPA giving permission for deeper
borings adding that he did not feel it was necessary to do the
borings which he said would cost several hundred thousand
dollars and questioned what would be done if in fact something
is found buried under the subdivision. He added that there
are 3,000 barrels of 2, 4, 5 Ton the Vertac Plant site now
with no place to be disposed of.
With regard to Rebel Drive, he said that aerial photos showed
the pit on Rebel where the supposed dump was made to be between
nine (9) and fifteen (15) feet. He said that the informer stated
that the barrels were stacked within six (6) feet of the surface
of Rebel Drive adding that the samples went down to that depth.
He said that a spring on Rebel Drive would be sampled.
It was noted that there are 180 sites in Arkansas with a chemi-
cal waste problem. A representative of Pollution Control said
that the City of Jacksonville is not being referred to but that
tne Vertac Plant site is in the EPA evaluations. He said at
this time evaluations are that the chemical waste on site at
Vertac is safely contained and that regular checks are made
to repair any leakage. He said that Vertac has not buried any-
thing off site. He said also the EPA super fund is to deal with
situations with no responsible owners and that no EPA funds had
been spent on clean up in connection with the Vertac plant. He
said that until EPA makes up their mind what can be done with
the 3,000 barrels of waste on site at the Vertac plant it will
remain on the list stating again that it is not ·Jacksonville
being referred to with a problem but the Vertac plant site. He
PAGE TEN . ' . CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1983
stated that Vertac has been owner of the plant for approximate-
ly twelve (12) years and could only make statements concerning
this time of ownership.
When questions were asked regarding previous dumping of chemical
waste, he ~st a t e d that Vertac had not buried any chemical waste
off site of th e plant.
It was pointed out that some of the distasteful odors come from
USS Chemical in the city and that strides are being taken by
the Company to improve it. Mayor Reid stated that air samplers
have been placed to aid in the clean-up.
Pollu.tion Control expert explained that air samplers are in tact
in north, south, east and west and that the highest measurement
of styrene was .002 parts per million. He said the standard
they have to follow is 100 parts per million noting the measure-
ment not hazardous. He said USS Chemical is under observation
by Pollution Control Dept.
A discussion of the toxicity of the odors and the effect on
human beings followed. The representat,ive from Pollution Con-
trol stated that the smell did not pose a health hazard as per
the sudies so far. . .
It was pointed out that the Mt. Sinai study is the only one
conducted in the area.
Hubert Burge a citizen of Jacksonville since 1945, related pro-
blems with one member of his family. He said his main concern
was whether or not the companies are complying with the law.
It was noted that the Mt. Sinai study did not show any epidemic
of health problems in the area by Dr. Cramer. He said due to
statistics concerning concurnption of the compound per person
that he saw no panic situation.
A chemical spill in Italy in 1976 was discussed. Dr. Cramer
stated that there was deths of small animals due to the spill
but that to date there is no evidence to indicate a specific
increase in birth defects, cancer, etc.
Mr. Parks made several observations concerning the Jacksonville
area, the Memphis area and of the dioxin pollution since 1979
to his knowledge. He said that he felt the public deserved to
know what the Chemical plants in the area are manufacturing.
Alderman Fletcher expressed concern with regard to cleaning up
the problem which is evident. He specifically mentioned Rocky
Branch.
Alderman Knight left the room at 9:30 P.M. returning at 9:34
P.M.
It was pointed out by Pollution Control representative that a
study of the Rocky Branch will come out in about six (6) months.
He pointed out that there is nothing being produced at Vertac
PAGE ELEVEN CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1983
that has the by-product of dioxin. He said that a grant was denied
by EPA regarding a patented process by Vertac to get rid of dioxin.
One unidentified resident mentioned that in 1962 plastic containers
had been dumped on her property. Pollution Control representative
said the site would be studied.
A representative from Vertac stated that the manufacture of
2,~4, 5 T which created the by-product, dioxin, was halted in 1979.
He said there has been no new incident regarding dioxin and the
plant since that time. He said the only change was clean-up which
had made the firm better.
Mr. Parks said that he felt a mixture of products from Vertac and
USS Chemical could be harmful.
Alderman Knight left the room momentarily at 9:49 P.M.
Mayor Reid noted that the 3,000 barrels of dioxin could not be
moved until a decision by EPA is handed down concerning a suitable
site location.
A discussion followed concerning the nArkansas Democrat" article
that indicated a dumping site on Rebel Drive.· It was questioned
why someone would wait forty (40) years and then come forward
concerning the dioxin possibility.
Alderman Fletcher stated that he felt the people on Rebel Drive
had been raped by the media with news that was not substantiated.
He expressed a desire for the clean-up of Rocky Branch, Dupree
Lake, and Bayou., Me to to begin immediately. He said that he felt
the City had unjust publicity. He stated that the citizens did
not need to let their emotions overrun logic in dealing with the
situation. He favored running test on Rebel Drive by Pollution
Control to determine whether or not the accusations are correct.
It was pointed out by Pollution Control representatives that some
of the data concerning studies of Rocky Branch, Dupree Lake and
Bayou Meto was handed down during the past week and that efforts
will begin for clean-up of the areas.
A Vertac representative stated that funding for the Lake Dupree
clean-up will be from Vertac. He said that Rocky Branch continues
to improve and that it is continually monitored through Pollu-
tion Control Dept. and Environmental Consultant hired by Vertac.
He said proposals concerning Rocky Branch Creek will be out in
about six months.
It was pointed out by Pollution Control Represerttative that a suit
could be filed by EPA against Vertac with regard to the clean-up
to recover costs incurred from super funds.
Alderman Fletcher questioned whether or.not tests by Pollution
Control will be used to speed the clean-up.
Pollution Control representative explained how tests are conducted
with regard to time element involved.
zoo PAGE TWELVE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1983
It was noted by Alderman Fletcher that the clean-up judging by
EPA actions in the past ·could take as long as twenty (20) years
and that their funds have been cut greatly.
A former employee of Vertac , Bobby Burney, stated that she had
not had any health problems with regard to being exposed to c
dioxin chemical waste. She said that to her knowledge there
have been no birth defects of children -born to employees of
vertac ..
It was noted by Mr. Karkkainen that prior to the clean-up of
Dupree Lake proposals by regulatory agencies would be presented
to the Council adding that a study of Rocky Branch would be com-
pleted in approximately six months.
There was discussion concerning what could be done by the Council
and the citizens of the commity with regard to litigation to get
the chemical waste removed from the Vertac plant.
One unidentified citizen asked that verified, certified reports
be made public.
Another citizen suggested that the industrial funding be used to
help with getting the clean-up done.
It was noted concerning Brushy Island that there is no problem
there as shown from a study of the area. It was pointed out
that USS Chemical had dumped hardened plastics there.
A drainage pattern of the area was asked for by a concerned
citizen.
Nelvin Crace stated that he felt property values had been ad-
versely affected and questioned whether the 3,000 barrels could
be contained safely on an indefinite basis at Vertac.
Mr. James E. Holt stated that he had trouble raising grapes and
fruit trees on McArthur Drive and added that his concern is the
phenol and carbolic acid from ·the Vertac plant.

made with regard to the areas with supposed problems of pollution
in Jacksonville and that the cemical plants are making efforts
to control present waste products of the different companies ,.
under the supervision of Pollution Control. He said he felt the
schedule in reasonable in addressing the problem. He said investi-
gations of things mentioned in the meeting would be made adding

DEVIATION IN AGENDA
Mayor Re1 d 1nt roduced Tony Ply who briefed the Council with regard
to bids, architectural fees, the purchase of more property in
connection with the proposed building and parking area as well .as
a request to accept the low bid from Jetco Construction Company of
$491,969.00 stating that $2,158.00 could be deducted from the
Kitchen deductive alternates.
He presented the Council with a financial data sheet pointing out
the total monies available as $523,835.12. He stated that Jetco
Bid of $491,969.00 and Architects Fees of $31,121.36 yet to be paid
leave a Contingency fund in the amount of $744.76. He pointed out
that a portion of the kitchen equipment is considered as ineligible
items according to HUD and asked that the Council underwrite the
cost of the items which can be installed near the end of construc-
tion. He said that a written committment from the Council to be
responsible for the purchase of the equipment is needed. He said
the Council does not have to have the money on hand at the time of
the committment. He said that he did get a verbal committment from
the State Agency on Aging and the Central Arkansas Agency regarding
payment for the equipment if the money becomes available.
He stated that the intent is to take $20,000.00 of the money that
was to be used for the ineligible kitchen equipment items and
purchase tract four (4) in the Victory Circle area thus improving
the parking area making sixty-four the minimum total parking spaces.
It was pointed out that the total architectural fees is approximately
$53,000.00 for the entire project by Mayor Reid.
A general discussion followed with regard to a contingency fund.
Mr. Ply pointed out that of the $22,876.00, $20,000.00 would be used
to purchase tract four (4) and $2,876.00 would be put in a contin-
gency fund bringing the approximate total of that fund to $3,620.76.
Mayor Reid stated that the money for the equipment could be budgeted
in 1984 in the event the State Agency on Aging and the Central Arkan-
sas Agency do not come up with the funds for the kitchen equipment.
Mayor Reid stated that the city is obligated to provide for adequate
parking for the facility.
Alderman smith moved, seconded by Alderman Boyd to underwrite the
$22,876.00 for kitchen equipment and accept the low bid from Jetco

gency fund and to improve on site parking not included in the
contracts.
City Engineer Owens stated that he was concerned with the amount of
the contingency fund. He noted that parking lot expenses supple-
mented by the city to the best of his knowledge would amount .to
approximately $22,000.00.
Alderman Keaton asked that more information regarding all monies
spent thus far and projected expenditures be supplied to the
Council before a decision be made.
Mayor Reid stated at present that the City has b~dgeted $25,000.00

ment to be waived by that there was no Council action approving

ing but did not see that a hardship would be placed on the Com-

anything against Mr. Dillard in that they desired to nominate Mr.
Kenny Elliott for the Planning Commission Appointment.

Discussion/Water Commissions proposed customers assessment of $1.00
per month.
Mayor Reid stated that he placed the item on the Agenda due to a
letter received from the water Commission adding that he was opposed
the $1.00 per month assessment and suggested that the monies due
from the Commission be considered for payment at the end of the
year or write it off altogether rather than have to collect addition-
al money in this manner.
Alderman Fletcher stated that after reviewing records at the water
Commission he is of the opinion that the assessment cannot be paid
at this time. He said that he was also opposed to the additional

in october adding that summer water usage could bring in enough
funds to settle the assessment.

a. Oakwood Apartments/Drainage Ditch/City Sharing 50%
Mayor Reid stated that the developers of the apartment complex have
agreed to share in the expense of improving the ditch which crosses
Gregory Street and has been in need of improvement for a long time.
He said a box culvert is proposed to be used in the ditch from Smith-
wick Street across Gregory proceeding on to the rear of properties
on McArthur Drive.
He said that the developers had agreed to share $10,000.00 of the
estimated $24,000.00 cost of the improvement adding that he felt
this was a good way to get help with the work needed on the ditch.
The developers of the apartments were stated to be Dr. Johnson and
Morris Justice.
City Engineer updated the Council concerning the ditch during h~s
seven (7) years with the city. He said that the· box culvert as
proposed in Phase III would allow improvements of the ditch with-
out movement of the water lines which had hindered previous
imp~ovements from being made several years ago.
There was discussion concerning the priority list as stated last
year with regard to Harold and Wright Streets.
Alderman Keaton stated that he felt the city would be sharing
development costs on ~private property. He stated that he felt
the box culvert was the responsibility of the city.
Alderman Gray compared thepropos.ed drainage improvements to those
proposed for ward II adding that he favored Phase III which pro-
poses the installation of a box culvert at the estimated cost of
$5,400.00 with grading and digging furnished by the city.
It was noted that one property owner has agreed to pay for tile
to improve the ditch to a point that the land use would be pro-
fitable and also that she had asked for reimbursement in the event
the city is able to complete like improvements of the ditch in
1985. Mayor Reid said he would agree to the request and put it on
her statment with regard to refunding the cost of the tile.
City Engineer Owens noted that the banks of the ditch cannot be
properly cared for by property owners due to erosion. He pointed
out that the ditch needs to be improved regarding the apartment com-
plex so that parking requirements can be met at the back side of
the apartments.
Alderman Smith moved, seconded by Alderman Durham to approve the
drainage ditch project and split the total true cost of Phase I
and II which is approximately 11,140 ft. of ditch area with the
developers of oakwood apartments.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Alderman Fletcher asked that an explanation be made concerning
improvements of the ditch in the a rea of Red oak and White Oak
streets. The City Engineer expla ined t ha t the ten ft. ri ght of
way cannot be contained without us ing tiLe due to the eros i o n of
the ditch. He said that originally plans were to tile seventy-five
(75) to one hundred (100) feet of the ditch at that point. He
said that work has been started on it and is included in the
schedule of the street and drainage work.
There was discussion concerning the purchase of tile by individ-
uals and installation on city right of ways and private properties
at the expense of the city. The City Engineer stated that it is
done in this manner.
Alderman Keaton stated that he felt the city is only responsible
for the right of way area and the rest or the expense should be
born by the developers. He said that he felt an additional
$2,000.00 to $3,000.00 would have to be spent by the city with re-
gard to grading, digging and use of city equipment. He noted
that he had asked considerations for streets that remain under
water for a long period of time after a rain.
Alderman Knight noted priorities already for drainage projects and
stated opposition to aid private developments.

work was earmarked for Harold and Wright Street areas in his opinion.
Alderman Francis asked to changed his vote.
City Attorney Vaughan stated that unless a two-thirds vote is
needed on the expenditure the Mayor's vote could be used to break
the tie. He said if the expenditure is not a budgeted item then
two-thirds vote is required.

of the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustment were
completely different creating no conflict between the two bodies.

two members.
It was stated by the City Attorney that according to State Statue ~
it is legal for a person to serve .on the Planning Commission and
the Board of Adjustment at the same time.
Lloyd Friedman, Chairman of the Board of Adjustment pointed out that

f. Discussion OAKWOOD APARTMENTS
Mayor Reid recognized Mr. Gary Stroud a resident of White Oak Cove who voiced
opposition to the construction .. of additional apartments to the Oakwood Apartment
complex. He .pointed out three major problems in his opinion with the additional
apa rtments: (1) traffic congestion (2) drainage problem increase and (3) increas-
ed sewer input that will continue to overlriad present system. He requested that
the Council halt the construction of the 96 new apartments.
Mayor Reid stated that on Jan. 19, 1975 the property was zoned R-3 residential
for apartment dwellings and that he did not feel the Council could stop the
construction of the apartments in that there is no violation with regard to
city codes. He said that the pr;esent O:ikwood Apartments are on the city sewer
system.
Mrs . Vasquez of #22 Red Oak voiced opposition to the construction of the
apartments mentioning that she feels the present drainage pro~ems will be
worsened with the additional apart'llents. She said that in her opinion additional
traffic will prove hazardous to the children of the area.
Alderman Knight said that she felt the citizens were not aware that the City
Engineer is following the construction with regard to the actions of the dev elopers
and the obligations of the city in the different areas of draina ge etc., a rtd ·
that con s iderations were give.n to dlrainage and i:ts effect on th_e area Befo re toe

Alderman Durham mentioned the problem of speeding in his area and Alderman
Fletcher mentioned an instance when confronted by a resident c011cerning raw
sewage in her bathtub. He voiced concern that sewer problems could be worsened
with construc.tion of the additional apartments, also mentioning traffic con-
gestion fer the residential area.
Mayor Reid said that guidelines in the issuing of building permits had been
properly followed with regard to the apartments.
City Engineer Owens explained plans to widen a ditch in the area to alleviate
part of th2 drainage problems.
i1r. Morris of the Sewer Department said that the sewer situation in the city
as a whole is serious but that plans ar e in them eking to correct sai.d problems .
He said that the sewer sy~tem is leaky and overcapacitated but questioned the
feasibility of not issuing any building permits due to said problems.
City Engineer Owens said that sewer specifications are tough and that the city
is probably way ahead of other citites in that there is a design with regard to
sewer and drainage in city planning.
Alderman Williamson questioned why a permit was issued due to the sewer system
being at capacity.
Mr. Morris explained theovalua.tions: of the sewer system with regard to usage
per year adding that there is no pro~em for the system to handle the additional
complex in dry weather. He said that plans are in the making to correct said
problems projecting a three (3) to five (5) year program. He mentioned that
the Sewer Commission favors acquiring a televised system to search out problems
and the hiring of additional crews to take care of those problems .
A discussion followed concerning what could be done by the Council in that all
codes have been followed with regard to the issuing of the building permit.
It was pointed out by the City Engineer that construction was begun almost
immediately upon issuance of the building permit. It was questioned whether
or not court action is the next alternative to halting the construction.
It was stated by Mayor Reid that the citizens could attend the informal Council

funding for a new sewer plant. It was stated that 2.7 million dollars is

Mayor Reid explained to some degree the use of federal monies by the state
board and their relation to the issue of funding for the Jacksonville facility.
It was stated that increased sewer rates would pose a real burden on many citizens.
There was concern expressed by Council members with regard to the reason for
the change in the priority 1 ist as such. ~·1ayor Reid was asked to contact the
Governor's office for an appointment with him to discuss the issue.
Mr. Morris said that the alternative proposal recommended by the Sewer Commission
is for a modified full project ~wsting apprtoximately 6.7 million dollars. He said
the projcet as planned would put the city in compliance with federal law. He
projected 1987 as a completion date if all goes as planned. A bond issue is
suggested in the proposal he said.
Mayor Reid informed the Council that a decision will need to be made in the near
future by the governing body with regard to funding the project.

perty.

owners involved and bear the expense of moving the fences approximately fifteen

GENERAL:
a. Dave Criner, an aide for Governor Clinton, will be at meeting to discuss
city Wastewater Utility Treatment Plant grant/funding problems
Mayor Reid introduced Mr. Cirner t.o the Council to answer questions as to why
Jacksonville was denied federal assistance with regard to a L'!astewater Utility
Treatment Plant.
Mr. Criner explained that the Commission had erred in that public hearings were
not held in accord with Federal law regarding the funding and that correction
of that error had caused the funding to be withheld; stating that he did not
feel the denial of funds had been a political move. He said also that a formula
change with regard to classifications of cities on a priority list had entered
into the denial of the funds for Jacksonville.
Several Aldermen voiced their opinions concerning the denial and requested more
considerations be given from the Governor 1 S office to the position of the City
in receiving funding for a treatment plant. The concern of several Aldermen
{

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JULY 7, 1983 7;40 P.M. -8;30 P.M.
was that the city had done as it was told in order to receive the funding
as promised by the director and former comission when funds were deobligated
with regard to the City of Hot Springs.
The decision of the Commission was reversed in January of 1983 at a meeting
which Mr. Dick Morrr is of the Waste Water-i.~Oepartmerit said he attended. He :·ex-
plained eve~ts leading up to that meeting and noted that the decision only took
a few seconds and that no representative from the city was given opportunity to
speak with regard to the funding for the city.
The question was raised as to why the same decision to grant funding to the
city was not made after all proper requirements were met with regard to the
public hearings etc.
It was stated by Mayor Reid that changes made by Congress with regard to stream
quality in Water Quality Act 208 had caused Jacksonville to drop on the priority
1 i st for the State of Arkansas.
Mr. Criner was asked to request that the Governor take a second look at why
the city was not funded and use his influence to aid the city in future fund-
i n g when m on i e s a r e a v a i 1 a b 1 e .
Mayor Reid and members of the Council thanked him for attending the Council
meeting.
b. Discussion/WATER THEME PARK
The committee to study the Water Theme Park reported that their recommendation
was to proc ede with a feasibility study.
A discussion followed concerning whether or not information had been compiled
that is available with regard to the location, cost and profits of like
facilities already in operation. Several Aldermen stated that the felt the
Chamber of Commerce should persue the feasibility study with funding from
anticipated funds of $15,000.00 as set aside to be used to attract industry
to the area for the Chamber of Commerce by the City Council.
It was pointed out by the City Attorney that any expenditure from said funds
designated for the Chamber should come before the Council for approval.
The same consultant considered in the feasibility study for Jacksonville is
doing a study for the .,City of North Little Rock Alderman Williamson pointed
out.
Annabelle Davis stated that the cost of the feasibility study for Jacksonville
by the Haralson Association is $8,000.00 in that the same firm is doing the
North Little Rock study.
Alderman Knight pointed p.ut the advantages that North Li.ttle Rock has with
regard to Burns Park.
Mayor Reri.d stated that he felt considerations should be given to the passing
of a one-cent hotel/motel tax to insure proper funding for the facility in
the event it materializes.
Alderman Durham moved, seconded by Alderman Lewis to approve the feasibility
study by the Haralson A.isociation and that funding for the study be taken

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
NOVEMBER 17, 1983 7:35 P.M.-9:20 P.M.
At this point, Mayor Reid asked that Mr. Gene Kelley, City Finance Director
explain the new proposal that the Mayor had presented to the Council for
their consideration as it relates to the rate increase Ordinance.
Said proposal is to use $300,000.00 of the proposed 1984 sales tax revenues
and give a credit of up to $5.00 on a customer•s monthly statement. Mr Kelley
explained that the actual amount of credit would be computed based on the basic
$4.10 being a minimum bill. He gave examples of how the credit amount would
be applied to the consumer showing that the amount would not always be $5.00
but up to that amount.
Mayor Reid 1 s proposal was that each customer would pay the planned monthly
minimum of $4.10 for the first 2,000 gallons after whic~ the customer would
receive a $1.00 rebate for each additional 1,000 gallons used, up to a maximun
of 7,000 gallons, and then pay the full $2.05 per 1,000 for usage above the
7,000 maximum.
Mayor Reid stated that said action if accepted could be done on an annual basis.
He said that the bond requirement is an approved rate schedule that will provide
(proof-Positive) for the annual payments of interest and principal, plus required
reserves and 1.4 coverage as well as regular operating expenses.
Jane Dickey of the Rose Law Firm said that she did not feel there would be a legal
problem with the proposal with proper wording.
There was discussion regarding mobile home parks and the manner in which they are
billed at present and how they would be affected by the proposal by Mayor Reid.
Mr. Morris said that billing is done according to water meters and that the park
would receive one bill and be given one rebate per the Ordinance as presented.
It was suggested by Mayor Reid that a water meter be installed at each mobile
home pad to gain the advantage of the rebate. He stated that the Ordinance
would be complied with.
Mr. Morris stated that with the new billing the amount of water going thru the
meter is used to base the billing on instead of the number of mobile home pads.
Mayor Reid stated that when the Ordinance was passed setting up the billing as
it is now that the parks were charged for ninety (90) percent occupancy allowing
a ten (10) percent unoccupied unit.
Alderman Knight moved, seconded by Alderman Keaton to table Ordinance 723 for
thirty days and to set up a committee to study other sources of funding. ROLL CALL::
Aldermen: Knight, Francis, Fletcher, Gray, Keaton and t~illiamson voted AYE.
Aldermen: Boyd, Durham, Lewis, and Smith voted NAY. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Reid stated that the matter is dead for thirty days.
Mr. Chuck Drummond addressed Alderman Kniuht relating that the $2,500,000.00
funding from LRAFB would not be available except for a certain time period.
He stated that at a public hearing a year ago the public had not wanted to
save the one cent sales tax money but desired that it be spent for other items
benefical to the city. He said that an about face had been taken by the public
per the public hearing November 15, 1983.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
NOVEMBER 17, 1983 7:35 P.M. -9:20P.M.
He noted that the possibility of gaining federal funding was the probable cause
of no funds being saved for the last five years toward the sewer project. He
said that he felt a delay in a decision regarding the Ordinance might cause the
city to loose the federal funding that is available thru the LRAFB at present.
Alderman Knight questioned whether the funding would be lost in thirty days.
Mr. Drummond stated that he felt the issue must be faced and that he desired
the cheapest amount of increase adding that an increase is inevitable.
One citizen asked if anything had been set for the industrial community regarding
standards to be met regarding the sewer system as it relates to them.
Mayor Reid stated that guidel-ines had been set for the industrial community
regarding standards to be met regarding the sewer system as it relates to them.
Dick Morris stated that with all the financial advise that could be obtained
by the Sewer Commission and the investigation of approximately fourty (40)
different plans the present proposal was reached and that he fears the delay
could cause loss due to a possible change in interest rates. He related that
there is much time involved with the contracts between the department and the
LRAFB with regard to their funding in the project adding that until the city has
funding the Air Force would not enter into a contract. He said the funds could
easily be stricken from a 1984 budget of government funding.
Alderman Williamson stated that he favored building the sewer plant but that he
.was not comfortable with the situation at present.
Alderman Fletcher said that he did not feel there had been time enough to study
the Mayor•s proposal of November 17, 1983.
Mayor Reid apologized that the proposal could not be given earlier noting that
the public hea1ll'ing was held on November 15, 1983 and that he had had to formulate
the proposal after that date.
Mayor Reid asked that Alderman Knight chair and form a ' committee and bring
back a proposal within thirty days regarding funding of the sewer plant project.
Alderman Fletcher questioned the original motion to table the ordinance for
thirty days and stated that if it was necessary for the Ordinance to ·be brought
back before the thirty day period he would make a motion to that effect.
After discussion regarding the question of Alderman Fletcher and the intent of
Alderman Knight, the Mayor asked if there was any objection to modifying the
original motion to read that within a period of thirty days the committee formed
could bring a proposal before the body.
Alderman Knight and Alderman Williamson stated that they would agree to said
modification of the motion. There were no objections from the Council.
MOTION AS APPROVED BY COUNCIL:
Alderman Knight moved, seconded by Alderman Williamson that a committee be
formed to study an alternate funding plan for the sewer plant project and
bring a recollliTlendation to the Council within thirty days. ROLL CALL: Aldermen:
Knight, FranciS, Fletcher, Gray, Keaton, and Hilliamson voted AYE. Aldermen:
Smith, Lewis, Boyd, and Durham voted NAY. MOTION CARRIED.

Several of the Aldermen stated tmat they appreciated the work of the Sewer

City Engineer Owens gave a visual presentation of the proposed drainage work
for the general area of Marshall Road and Braden Street in and around Dr. Smith•s
office. He presented a written study as well.
He said there was a need to put concrete box culverts underneath the driveways
at the apartment complex and Braden St. at the immediate intersection. He stated
the approximate cost to be around $24,000.00. He said that his thoughts were
that this could be given consideration with 1984 monies.
He noted Harold St., Drainage Phase 11 was given top priority by the Street &
Drain~g~_ committee at their last meeting adding that is has been completed but
that they have not placed the Marshall Rd., and Braden St., project as the top
priority in the 1984 budget. He said that $25,000.00 has been budgeted for
drainage projects in the budget.
Alderman Fletcher mentioned that there might be a hazardous problem with regard
to a bus stop in the Braden St., area mentioned for improvement.
City Engineer said that plans would be brought back to the Council in the near
future for their consideration.

b. DRAINAGE PROBLEM/1413 GRAHAM ROAD
Alderman Francis presented the item of business and introduced Mr. Matkosky
to the governing body. He stated that the city had obtained a 25 1 easement
from Mrs. Dennis just recently and that she desired that he ask the city to void
the contract _:for .:tbe .::e~sement.
Mr. Matkosky related a conversation between the City Engineer and Mrs. Dennis.
Mr. B .rry Brazil said that he had witnessed the conversation and that he felt
Mr. Owens integrity was being challenged. He said that Mrs. Dennis was not
misled by any in ormation concerning the ditch being closed as Mr. Matkosky
implied. Mr. Owens explained by map t me need for the additional easement; the
city does have an easement in the area of 15 1
• Mr. Owens said that it would be
very hard to keep the needed drainage work \tJithi n the fifteen (15) feet. He
presented a slide presentation of the area when flooded. He said that he had told
Mrs. Dennis that funds would not be available to close the ditch before 1985.
A discussion followed concerning how the problems in the Wright and Harold St.,
area could be eleviated. City Engineer Owens said that work including concrete
swells in the area might cost the city $40,000.00 with ditch eclosure by 1985.
Mayor Reid asked that the Council consider giving the easement back to Mrs.
Dennis noting that she had been to his office regarding the request.

Municipal Building, Jacksonville, Arkansas. The Special Session was called to
order by Mayor Reid who first delivered the Invocation then led the standing
audience in the 11 Pledge of Allegiance To The Flag 11
•
Mayor Reid stated that the pu·rpose of the meeting was to give consideration to the
Sewer Rate Increase Ordinance 7 2 3 (#34-83) which was presented to the Council on
November 3, 1983. He stated that he had called the Special Council Meeting due
• to the fact that there was a budget hearing and that he felt the Council might
be able to take action on the Ordinance after having the week-end to study the
rebate proposal that he had presented on Nobember 17, 1983 at the Regular Council
Meeting. He pointed out that the amount of rebate could be decided after passage
of the Ordinance in budget considerations.
ROLL CALL:
The City Clerk called the ROLL and the following members were present; Aldermen:
Knight, Smith, Lewis, Francis, Boyd, Durham, Fletcher, Gray, Keaton and Williamson.

Fire Chief Wilbur Smart, Asst. Chief Rick Ezell, City Engineer William C. Owens,
numberous Dept., Heads, City Employees, and approximately th.irty citizens of the
community. The press was also present.
GENERAL:
Mayor Reid recognized Bobbie Quinn who voiced that she felt the called meeting was
an insult to the committee selected to work on alternate plans for the rate increase
and funding with regard to the new sewer plant and that the general public had not
had a chance to give input in formulating any alternative to the Mayor•s proposal.
Alderman Francis asked that Mayor Reid give Mr. Paul Dugger the opportunity to
speak. Mr. Dugger was recognized by Mayor Reid to speak.
He stated that he was a registered chemical and environmental engineer with thirteen
years experience in his field. He presented three points of interest to the group
for their consideration~
1. Is there a need to build the facility?
2. Per Federal Law, industries must treat their own waste before it is dumped into
a sewer treatment system.
3. Industry, per Federal Law, must pay their fair share according to their usage
of a sewer treatment system.
He contended that nobody knows what the 1 imits are that wi 11 be placed on the new
sewer plant. He said that it may not meet those limits at its completion.
He said that USS Chemical and Vertac have filled up the treatment ponds over the
years due to what they have dumped in them.
He noted that Dr. Sidwell, a member of the Sewer Commission, may have a vested in-
terest in working for the construction of the new sewer treatment plant.
PAGE TWO CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
NOVEMBER 21, 1983 I 7:08 P.M.-8?05 P.M.
He said there was a facility behind the Animal Control Building not in use and
questioned building another plant when said facility is not being used.
He said that nobody knows what the standards for the new plant will be mention-
ing the city, the Department of Pollution Control, the Waste Treatment Facility
and EPA in Dallas.
Mr. Dugger stated that he had received information from EPA but would not dis-
close the name involved as a source for that information.
He contended that the present plant could be modified. He also gave examples of
requirements for industrial dumping into the sewer system. He said that he felt
the chemical companies should have to pay for the clean-up of the treatment ponds,
that it is not the responsibility of the citizens. He said that he felt court
action could force said clean-up.
Mayor Reid recognized B.J. Boroughs of the Sewer Commission to address the Council.
He stated that the industrial plants do pay their fair share for sewer treatment
service by the Jacksonville Wastewater System.
Dick Morris was recognized by Mayor Reid to address the Council. He stated that:
1. EPA has approved the plans for the new sewer treatment plant as well as the Dept.,
of Pollution Control.
2. Vertac does pay $100,000.00 per yr. for their usage of city sewer treatment
services.
3. Standards have been quoted to him to be 10-10-5-7 which the new plant will be
able to meet.
4. The city is operati ng under administrative order of EPA by permits at present.
5. Plans submitted to the different controlling agencies with regard to pollution
control both state cind federal have given approval for the sewer treatment
facility.
Mr. Morris explained that industries have to pretreat their waste if their chemical
waste causes a sewer treatment system not to be able to perform properly. He said
that one sample is not substantial proof in collecting data.
A mobile home park owner requested that the Council give consideration to making the
rebate applicable to them as well as the one family residences and not to the parks
as a whole.
The Mayor and Council gave assurance that satd consideration would be given when a
deci:sion is reached with regard to the rebate.
Mr. James Green questioned whether or not the city could possibly expect federal
funding before the deadline for meeting federal standards for the sewer treatment
system.
Mr. Morris explained that the city•s position with regard to possible funding stating
that it is not guaranteed in any wise.
There was discussion concerning the amount of money to be used from the one percent
sales tax monies in the sewer treatment plant as proposed. Alderman Fletcher said
that he felt $700,000.00 should be used and Alderman Knight stated that she felt
$800,000.00 should be used. She stated that a meeting of the committee requested
by Mayor Reid at the last Council meeting of which she is chairman would be held
at Ramada Inn on Tuesday Nov. 22, 1983 at 6:00 P.M. to work on the item of bus1ness .
Alderman Durham stated why he felt the Ordinance should be dealt with presently
PAGE THREE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
NOVEMBER 21, 1983 I 7:08P.M. -8:05P.M.
and moved that Ordinance 7 2 3 be placed on FIRST READING. Alderman Smith seconded
the motion.
Alderman Knight stated that she had a problem with passing the Ordinance before the
amount of money put into the project from the one percent sales tax money is de-
cided upon.
The general consensus of the Council was that due to the holidays, there would be
little work done over the holidays as far as the issuance of bonds, etc.
Comments were made regarding the seriousness of the decisions relating to the
Ordinance and related matters such as the rate increase, the rebate and the amount of
money out of the one percent sales tax monies toward the project.
Alderman Durham and Alderman Smith withdrew the motion and second respectively and
the Mayor as ked that the committee bring its recommendation ( s) to him so that he
can make a new proposal regarding the budget. He asked that considerations be made
in their decisions for the city as a whole giving consideration to things that are
necessary for the overall operation of tfue city.
Alderman Fletcher moved, seconded by Alderman Smtih to adjourn at 8:05 P.M. with the
unanimous approval of the Council the MOTION CARRIED.
