He explained that crime is down 15.8%; the year prior, it was down 12.3% and from 2021 to 2025, it is down approximately 33%. When Council Member McCoy inquired, Finance Director Laura Collie replied that the City pays for the utilities at the Senior Center and the Jacksonville Elderly Program line item is also related to the Senior Center; the City gives them funds every quarter. She also explained that the Election Expense is due to the City’s cost in the election this year and Tourism and Promotion is anything the mayor spends for the tourism and promotion of Jacksonville. When asked about the Contingency line item, she confirmed it was funded in the past, but chose not to this year in order to keep the budget balanced. WATER DEPARTMENT: WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT: FIRE DEPARTMENT: POLICE DEPARTMENT: STREET DEPARTMENT: SANITATION DEPARTMENT: PARKS & RECREATION: PLANNING COMMISSION: ORDINANCE 1816 (#11-2026) AN ORDINANCE RECLASSIFYING PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS (10022 AR HWY 161); AMENDING ORDINANCE NOS. 213 AND 238 AND THE LAND USE MAP OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS; AND, FOR OTHER PURPOSES. Mayor Elmore opened a public hearing at approximately 6:07 p.m. Citizen Leo Meyers of 112 West Valentine Road stated he owns an acre of land beside this property and putting three houses on a .37 acre lot is not feasible. He mentioned increased traffic, decreased property values, and drainage concerns. Citizen Sheila Gray of 1603 Cloverdale Road told how she has lived in her subdivision for 38 years. She feels that three houses on less than an acre is unreasonable. She noted they will not be able to park on the street, people speed down it, and speed bumps need to be installed. She presented a petition signed by her and residents on West Valentine Road. When Ms. Gray inquired, Mayor Elmore replied that there is a process to request speed bumps through the Public Works Department. Director of Engineering and Public Works Adam Whitlow noted there was opposition to this request at the Planning Commission meeting where it was originally addressed. He told how others were curious, but once they found out it was still single-family, they were not opposed. He confirmed the Commission approved the rezoning to be forwarded to Council. He explained that an R-4 zone provides for zero lotline setbacks, however, these setbacks are showing 8’. He affirmed the side setbacks are similar to other lots, but the lots themselves are only approximately 40’ wide with higher density. He told how they will still have to comply with Fire Code. Representative Nick Tucker with Tucker Land Surveying brought up that these houses are going to be standard 25’ setback from the road right-of-way and have standard driveways capable of parking 2-3 cars. He noted there is a road ditch on Valentine Road as well, so there it is not feasible to park on the street and there is no intent to. He mentioned that drainage was addressed by topographic survey and the site plan will show positive drainage for all three houses that will drain into the road ditch, to the highways, and then to all of the appropriate drainage structures. He related that new construction raises property values and these will be priced higher per square foot. Council Member McCoy shared that citizens have complained about how they have been treated with properties Ryan Aclin developed. She detailed that they are all rentals with no opportunity for home ownership. She asked if he considers home ownership opportunities. Mr. Aclin pointed out that this property had a rental house on it that burned; they could have rehabbed the house, but it had foundation issues. When Mr. Tucker recalled there being two houses on the property, Mayor Elmore clarified that it was one house, plus an accessory building. Council Member Ray told how he lives in the area, noting there are all rental houses. He added that there are four outlets that can be taken when departing the area, so there will not be traffic issues. Mayor Elmore shared that there are twenty names on the opposing petition; some are couples from the same address. Citizen Becky Thomas of 115 West Valentine confirmed there are three rentals she owns that were built right after the War and are controlled by her. She told how when she sells, she wants to be sure they are maintained and not have houses built for rentals. She recalled coming to City Hall previously to ask for speed bumps, but was denied. She mentioned high speeds and wrecks in the area, where some have been fatal. Mayor Elmore closed the public hearing at approximately 6:20 p.m. Council Member Ray moved, seconded by Council Member Twitty to place Ordinance 1816 on FIRST READING. ROLL CALL: Council Member Dietz, Ruple, McCleary, Ray, LaBron, Kinman, and Mimms voted AYE. MOTION CARRIED with Council Member McCoy, Moss, and Twitty voting NAY. Whereupon City Attorney Friedman read the heading of Ordinance 1816. Council Member Ruple brought up that it is out of Council’s control of who buys property in the City and whether they sell it or rent it. He acknowledged that Jacksonville has a surplus of rental houses, but they are building brand new ones. When City Attorney Friedman clarified that this is concerning the Land Use Map, which is within the Council’s control, City Clerk Davitt concurred, noting the question is if an R-4 density fits in with the surrounding zones. When Mrs. Thomas reiterated her concerns, Mayor Elmore reminded Council that the issue is whether to rezone from R-0 to R-4; not the possible rental status. Council Member Ray moved, seconded by Council Member LaBron to APPROVE Ordinance 1816 on FIRST READING and SUSPEND THE RULES and place Ordinance 1816 on SECOND READING. ROLL CALL: Council Member Ray and Kinman voted AYE. MOTION FAILED with Council Member Dietz, Ruple, McCleary, McCoy, LaBron, Moss, Twitty, and Mimms voting NAY. COMMITTEE(S): GENERAL: a. PRESENTATION: CDBG Community Stakeholder Engagement (Consolidated Planning Assessment) CDBG Director Michelle Spencer read the following statement: “To kick things off I’ll share the community engagement process from start to now: Phase 1 involved meetings with organizations, non-profits, city and public housing administrators, and civic leaders in the community, which commenced in March. Phase 2, we met with the citizens and business owners of Jacksonville during 3 community input meetings that took place in April. Phase 3, consisted of the needs assessment survey, which was public for about 45 days and closed out this past weekend. We were able to collect valuable data from residents and business owners across the city that will be published a bit later during the final stages and provided within the plan. During this process, I was blessed with an extended team to assist me. Two highly experienced professionals from the Arkansas Community Dispute Resolution Center (ACDRC). Angelia Tolbert, Esq., Executive Director, has nearly 36 years of experience as a mediator, arbitrator, facilitator, and conflict-resolution trainer. She is widely recognized for her expertise in community coalition building, stakeholder engagement, and organizational development. Mr. Tauheed Salaam has close to 40 years of deep knowledge in workforce development, housing and neighborhood revitalization, youth services, and organizational training. Together, their combined expertise guided a thoughtful and inclusive assessment process for Jacksonville over the past few months.” Mrs. Tolbert recalled conducting many in-person interviews at various facilities and also had many telephone conversations between the 12 stakeholder groups. She noted that across all twelve groups, the consistent and recurring themes included: public transportation access, affordable housing and homelessness, workforce development and economic opportunity, food insecurity, mental health and substance use services, youth and senior services, infrastructure needs, and city communication and perception. She related the following priorities discovered for each group: Youth Organizations - food insecurity, early workforce exposure, and recreation spaces and technology. Senior Wellness Activity Center - transportation, ADA-compliant facilities, and expanded wellness programming. Faith-Based and Community Organizations (Ward 2) - literacy programs, tutoring, youth mentoring, and civic engagement. Public Housing Authority - housing affordability, availability, and quality, and self-sufficiency pathways. City Departments - challenges from a systems and policy perspective and increasing demand for behavioral health services. Parks & Recreation and Public Safety - youth disengagement, housing instability, food insecurity, untreated behavioral health needs, and public safety challenges and investment in community facilities and recreational programming. Chamber of Commerce, Library, and Community Advocates - workforce readiness, job training, and transportation access and centralized community resource directory. NAACP - equitable redevelopment and equitable reinvestment. School District - out-of-school factors directly affect student success and limited access to afterschool programs, tutoring, and enrichment activities. Senior Tower Residents - personal and housing safety, maintenance, and accessibility, affordability pressures, and social isolation. Faith-Based Leaders - homelessness, affordable housing shortages, vacant properties, and neighborhood disinvestment, and improved communication, transparency, and consistent follow-through from the City. Faith-Based Leaders (Youth Focus) - youth voice and leadership development and interconnected needs of youth and seniors within families require intergenerational approaches. She concluded by saying there is a need for coordinated, equitable, and community-driven planning that addresses stakeholder priorities collectively rather than in isolation. Director Spencer read the following statement: “During the data collection process over the past few months, narratives have started to form regarding the 5-year consolidated plan, during which you the citizens of Jacksonville, articulated the needs for the city which directly affects our low to moderate income individuals and families. Once all the information is calculated from the surveys, there will be another presentation in August where I will come before you with the final outcomes for our next 5 year plan. Note that the public comment period will commence in July from the 1st-30th. During that time, citizens are able to review the plan and provide feedback if needed. We will also host a community collaboration meeting to discuss next steps to accomplishing some of the goals and priorities moving into the next year. Be on the lookout for public notices that will be shared via city website, local newspapers and social media.” b. ORDINANCE 1818 (#13-2026) AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE MUNICIPAL PROPERTY OWNERS' MULTIPURPOSE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. __________ (MEADOW CREEK PROJECT); DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. Mayor Elmore opened a public hearing at approximately 7:04 p.m. Representative Attorney Lisa Ferrell stated she specializes in helping developers form improvement districts to put in infrastructure, such as roads, sidewalks, drainage, and utilities, noting one of the developers, John Kennon, is present. She detailed that the subdivision will have 120 lots of homes for sale at approximately the high $200,000.00s to the mid $300,000.00s. She noted that the formation of improvement districts are heavily governed by § 14-94-106, which states a municipality will form a district if two conditions are met: 1) all landowners have signed the petition and 2) that the mortgage/lien holder has been notified and does not object. She told how she provided a copy of the certified letter sent to the lien holder. She confirmed First Arkansas Bank and Trust’s representative Ashley Carper sent an email stating they do not object. City Attorney Friedman brought up concerns relating to the petition. Director Whitlow related his familiarity with improvement districts being formed to be used for the initial infrastructure since it gives the developer access to a low interest bond market for a financing mechanism, as opposed to a conventional loan. He mentioned the bond is paid back based on the difference in improvements between pre-appraisal and post-appraisal. He shared that he is less familiar with the maintenance aspect and the City has had a negative experience with an existing district. He told how this is being presented as a district intended to continue and does not have a sunset clause after the infrastructure is paid off. He noted that it specifies maintenance pertaining to the landscape of common areas and the dedicated streets; he did not see anything relating to water and sewer. He told how Wastewater Utility General Manger Thea Hughes and Water Works General Manager Jake Short have contacted him sharing concerns about the dedication of infrastructure. He explained that they want it to be dedicated, as it normally would be, via final plat once it is complete, adding that he requests the same with the streets. He then cited § 14-94-115 (c)(2): “No assessment shall apply against any pipelines or other improvements which are owned by any municipality, county, school district, or improvement district.” He reiterated that this funding mechanism is based on the value as the land sits, then the improvements against it gets assessed a value. He surmised this implies that once the infrastructure is dedicated, then that can no longer count toward the assessment, which turns into a property tax levy, so it may affect the funding mechanism they want to pursue. He noted the district the City has an issue with involved the continuation of maintenance, which is part of his concern. He brought up that the City of Bryant uses the improvement districts to maintain detention ponds, but was unsure of the specifics. When Mayor Elmore asked if the intent is to dedicate water, sewer, and streets to the City, Ms. Ferrell replied yes, explaining the way districts are in North Little Rock, Little Rock, and Maumelle is for the purpose of constructing infrastructure that then gets turned over to the City, once it meets City standards. She related that occasionally districts continue for the life of the bonds, at least for 30 years. She added that there is an opportunity to sunset a district after the bonds are paid off, but there is the option of continuing a district for maintenance of public areas that the City does not take over or want to own. Mayor Elmore mentioned a district in the City that did not turn over all utilities and has been a negative experience for the residents. When he inquired if all utilities will be turned over, Mr. Kennon confirmed they would. Ms. Ferrell explained that districts are being used more because it is very hard to develop housing at an attractive price point in this time of high interest rates and cost of construction. When City Attorney Friedman brought up the lack of a sunset clause, she replied that a district can be dissolved once the bonds are paid off, but they may issue separate bonds at different times, so it is dangerous to put in a sunset clause up front since they do not know how many times they need to issue bonds. She reiterated that the statute provides for a dissolution of the district once all bonds are paid off. She noted that improvement districts are heavily governed by Arkansas statute and there are transparency reports that are required to be filed every year that indicate the revenue and expenditures. She related that the ordinance is drafted like a typical ordinance is for an improvement district under this particular code. Council Member McCoy stated that declaring an emergency does not apply. Ms. Ferrell agreed to remove it, noting there was another district where there was a need. When she asked when an ordinance without an emergency clause goes into effect in Jacksonville, Mayor Elmore responded 30 days. After Council Member Ray told how he believes improvement districts should not be within city limits, a brief discussion ensued regarding amending the ordinance and petition. Mayor Elmore brought up that the final plat has not been approved yet, which would include water, sewer, and street dedication. Director Whitlow confirmed they have contingent approval of the preliminary plat, which approves them to proceed with construction. Mayor Elmore explained that they will put in the infrastructure and it will be dedicated to the City. City Clerk Davitt mentioned the common areas would need ongoing maintenance after the bonds are paid off and the district is dissolved. Ms. Ferrell noted that is typical of all neighborhoods, whether in an improvement district or not, and is generally handled by a property owners association. She confirmed both conditions in forming a district have been met; all property owners have signed the petition and the lien holder has not objected. City Attorney Friedman suggested narrowing down the last paragraph on page 1 of the petition and state the infrastructure will be dedicated to the City. Ms. Ferrell was unsure if that is the best way to do it because of Arkansas statutes governing improvement districts. She brought up that her clients would be willing to enter into a contract with the City saying they intend to dedicate. She asked if the City could refuse to approve the final plat until it is dedicated. Director Whitlow concurred, noting the difference in this proposed district and The Meadows is that the infrastructure of The Meadows was not constructed to City standards, but this one has submitted plans that are in accordance with City specifications. He brought up the statute and the possibility of changing commissioners. Ms. Ferrell confirmed the aforementioned code cited means the City would not have to pay a property tax assessment on City-owned property. She explained when bonds are first issued, whoever owns the land is going to pay the assessment, and then individual lot owners. She related that before bonds can be issued, a professional assessor does an assessment on benefits, who submits it to the City Clerk for review, and then there are public notices and hearings. City Attorney Friedman affirmed the statutory requirements have been met, but Council is asking for a step above bare minimum to narrow down the purpose. After a brief discussion regarding other options, Director Whitlow detailed that when the infrastructure is installed and inspected by Water, Wastewater, and the City, the final plat is submitted to the Planning Commission and they recommend approval to City Council. He confirmed when it comes to Council, it gets approval, which is the acceptance of maintenance of the infrastructure. City Clerk Davitt read from the petition stating “the cost of construction of various improvements for recreational purposes and the cost of maintaining the landscaping, the dedicated streets.” When she noted there is no cost to the district of maintaining dedicated streets, Ms. Ferrell agreed that “the dedicated streets” can be removed. Council Member Twitty moved, seconded by Council Member McCoy to TABLE Ordinance 1818 (#13-2026) to make amendments. MOTION CARRIED. c. ORDINANCE 1817 (#12-2026) AN ORDINANCE CONDEMNING STRUCTURES AND REAL PROPERTY AT THE LOCATIONS NOTED BELOW IN JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, FOR STRUCTURAL DEFECTS, DEFICIENCIES, AND PUBLIC HAZARD CONDITIONS; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND, FOR OTHER PURPOSES. The public hearing opened at approximately 7:37 p.m. Code Enforcement Supervisor Marissa Barger told how when the public hearing notice ran in the newspaper, she received contact from owners to request removal of a few properties for a 90 day pause. She explained that the owner of 212 East Hickory had died in a terrorist attack, the property recently got out of probate, and they now have a potential buyer that will not buy if it is condemned. She noted that the owner of 113 Hampton Cove lives in another state, was unaware of the damage to the roof, and plans to list it for sale after repairs are made. She related that the owner of 1302 King Street is present and she and her siblings are willing to work out a plan of action with Code to clean and restore the property. She mentioned that 1314/1316 South Highway 161 is pending a sale and the potential buyer would prefer not to purchase a condemned property. She added that 200 Overland Trail is also listed for sale and the owner requested a 90 day pause. Council Member Kinman recommended that progress be made and inspected every 30 days if a 90 day extension is granted. Supervisor Barger brought up that a few of these properties have consistent problems with unsheltered people breaking in and/or living under the carport and the homeowner refuses to respond to Code Enforcement notices, but reaches out to others. She stated the owner of 200 Overland Trail has not reached out to her and 212 East Hickory also has a problem with unsheltered people breaking in. Council Member Twitty shared her problem with owners not respecting the job that Code Enforcement is trying to do. She told how she visited 200 Overland Trail last year and was shocked. Supervisor Barger recalled it having a structure fire on the rear of the house, the windows are boarded, but there is a frequent person living under the carport with trash. She stated that Code has removed the trash multiple times at the owner’s expense because he refuses to answer any notices. When Council Member Ruple inquired, she listed 118 Burroughs Road, 0 East Valentine Road, 1124 Sorrells Drive, and 1 Tara Mount Drive are the properties that she would like to keep in the ordinance to condemn due to no progress or contact from owners. Council Member Twitty acknowledged that she did not list 200 Overland Trail. She noted that the owner has not complied or responded and suggested it stay in the ordinance for condemnation. When City Attorney Friedman inquired, Mayor Elmore replied that the owner contacted his office, but it is not a guaranteed pause. When Council Member Moss inquired, Supervisor Barger reiterated that her recommendations for condemnation include 118 Burroughs Road, 0 East Valentine Road, 200 Overland Trail, 1124 Sorrells Drive, and 1 Tara Mount Drive. The public hearing closed at approximately 7:44 p.m. Council Member Ruple moved, seconded by Council Member McCoy to AMEND Ordinance 1817 to only include 118 Burroughs Road, 0 East Valentine Road, 200 Overland Trail, 1124 Sorrells Drive, and 1 Tara Mount Drive and place Ordinance 1817, as amended, on FIRST READING.
