City Attorney Bamburg recalled that at the previous City Council meeting the Ordinance proposing a sewer rate increase that included a 1.5 rate for outside the City users and the step increase that had been proposed by the Wastewater Utility going to the rate of $6.50 in the year 2016 had been approved on second reading. He related that this version is the first agenda offered in the agenda packet, explaining that the second version was a recommendation from a committee addressing the rate increase.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. Wastewater Manager Thea Hughes concurred that it was the committee’s recommendation to stay with the present structure starting with a 2,000 gallon minimum. She noted that version one is the structure that begins with the 1,000 gallon minimum user. She related that the first 2,000 gallon rate is $12.95 with an additional $4.54 for every 1,000 gallons thereafter. In response to a question from Alderman Sansing, Wastewater Manager Thea Hughes explained that version one is based on every 1,000 gallons, while version two begins with 2,000 gallons being the minimum followed by $4.54 per 1,000 for all users. She stated that everyone will pay the same for the first 2,000 even if they only use 1,000 gallons. In response to a question from Alderman Robinson, City Attorney Bamburg clarified that even though it is a step increase over three years, the study was performed for a five year period, so the years are included with no rate increase for the two final years.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. GENERAL: ORDINANCE 1438 (#26-2011) AN ORDINANCE WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE PURPOSE OF PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT FOR THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE’S 911 COMMUNICATION CENTER; AND, FOR OTHER PURPOSES. 911 Director Tabby Hughes stated that the current radio system is obsolete, explaining that replacement parts are no longer manufactured. She related that Grace Communications can no longer acquire spare parts. She stated that Motorola has offered a zero percent financing option to purchase the equipment. She added that they are asking to waive competitive bidding for that purchase. She explained that the City of Jacksonville has been accepted to AWIN (Arkansas Wireless Information Network), the State radio system, adding that AWIN requires this equipment. She continued saying that the pricing that Motorola is presenting comes from a State contract that has already been competitively bid. Mayor Fletcher noted that North Little Rock and Little Rock are also considering avenues for acquiring the equipment for the AWIN system. He pointed out that North Little Rock’s tax proposal to raise the funds to purchase the equipment did not pass and the Mayor still has to convert to the digital system. He stated that if the current radio system fails, the City of Jacksonville could be operating on walkie talkies for up to four months. 911 Director Hughes pointed out that if the current system were to fail and Motorola could not repair it, then they would have to come in and install the proposed system but it would take months. She stated that they would only be able to use the portable radios, which is on a MAC channel through the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. She explained that by being on the MAC channels they would lose a lot of the functionality, such as paging out the Fire Stations. She further explained that the Stations would have to be called on a phone line to let them know there was a call for them. She pointed out other difficulties regarding communications with Fire and Police on portable radios. Mayor Fletcher related that the zero interest financing is only being offered through December 24th. Director Hughes concurred, explaining that they have worked on this project for well over a year. In response to a question from Alderman Smith, Mayor Fletcher answered that the contract would consist of four payments. Director Hughes explained that the first payment of $87,413.43 would be on 1/1/2013, and then $602,528.26 would be due on January 1st each following year through 2017. CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. Director of Administration Jim Durham related that there is a State law that requires Motorola to work with cities regarding the incorporation of the system. He stated that if the City proceeds with the contract and then revenues cannot support the payment, Motorola would have to work out a new set of terms that might charge interest. He stated that the City would still owe the debt, pointing out that the proposed plan stages out the payment as far as possible. He added that once Jacksonville becomes an AWIN site, the State of Arkansas will take over the maintenance of the system, which could save the City up to $60,000 annually. He stated that this option appears to be the best available for the City without being forced into other terms if the current equipment fails. He noted that currently Grace Communications is using old parts to try and repair downed systems. He went on to say that this is Government mandated by the FCC. In response to a comment from Alderman Stroud, Director Hughes stated that the project has been in the works for over a year. She explained that the new building was just approved for the equipment, adding that the money was the holdup but now that Motorola has offered zero percent financing it is worth looking at. City Attorney Bamburg stated that the mandate was being worked on prior to the time that Director Hughes took office. He stated that Jacksonville is one of many cities that Motorola is dealing with regarding a payment plan to satisfy State law without the City being put into a position of having to do a bond issue to come up with the funds. He stated that the cost factor with any system such as this is obviously multi-million. Mayor Fletcher stated that it is like other things that happen that are not planned for, such as with the pool roof. A year ago, no one would have thought we would have to deal with replacing the roof. He stated that Motorola is offering an opportunity before the system fails. Alderman Sansing stated that while there is no doubt the City needs a new system, the $600,000 payments represent 5% or 6% of an annual budget. He stated that the City needs to make sure it can meet those obligations, even if the Fire and Police have to contribute part of their budget. Mayor Fletcher stated that the City could pull from the Capital Improvement fund, adding that he is sure the City will be able to make the payments. He related that if the City does not act tonight and the system fails, the City will be forced to address the issue without the opportunity of zero interest. Director of Administration Jim Durham stated that if something happens and the City cannot make the first $602,000 payment, there are alternatives. He explained that just like the financing of the balance of constructing the building, the City could do a fifteen year bond if it has to be done. CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. 911 Director Tabby Hughes offered that they will continue to research grant opportunities to help defer costs. Director Durham the offered that the State will help out once the City becomes an official Arkansas Wireless Information Network site, it will probably open doors for some grants. He noted that any grant funds could be put into escrow to help make the annual payments. In response to a question from Alderman Traylor, Director Hughes answered that Grace Communications services the Motorola radios, adding that they are the authorized dealer in the central part of Arkansas. She noted that the City of Jacksonville already has maintenance contracts with Grace Communications. She further noted that Kirk Miller from Motorola and Bill Clay from Grace Communications are present to field any specific questions City Council may have. She then answered that Grace Communications already maintains the radios, but when the new equipment is installed AWIN, the State network will take over the RF site maintenance, which is the transmitter and tower. Director Durham concurred that the radios would be maintained through Grace Communications, but added that there will be a one-year warranty. He stated that the City has a maintenance contract with Grace Communications to perform certain maintenance. He added that the equipment would belong to the City. Director Hughes clarified that the City would be responsible for the maintenance on the portables, mobiles, and the dispatch consoles. She then answered that all payments would be made directly to Motorola and the annual maintenance with Grace Communications is an additional contract. She explained that the contract with Grace Communications would be less because AWIN would be taking over a portion of the maintenance contract. She stated that it would be a savings of approximately $24,000 annually plus more because AWIN would handle any upgrades for this site. Director Durham related that the City of Jacksonville is very fortunate to be able to obtain the AWIN status. He explained that it is not offered to every city, adding that the purpose is to create “dots” with coverage areas that overlap across the State of Arkansas. They do not need or want every city on it. He stated that this system would take us into the future with voice over I.P. He noted that he and Director Hughes have attended all the seminars in Little Rock. Director Hughes offered that this system and AWIN would offer statewide communications for our Officers, as well as increase coverage in the City. She noted that there have been issues with some areas getting coverage and this system will correct that problem. CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. Director Durham offered that if the system were wiped out by a tornado, the City of Jacksonville would still be able to communicate since North Little Rock would be on AWIN. He stated that is the whole purpose of having a wireless information network. He then answered that Motorola is accepting the old radios as trade-in. Mayor Fletcher noted that the radios would be used for smaller communities who need the parts. He stated that the City is fortunate that Motorola is helping to make this possible. He then answered Alderman Sansing that the 2013 payment could be drawn from the Capital Improvement Fund. Director Durham offered that it could be put in with the building if there are some funds left. Alderman Stroud moved, seconded by Alderman Ray that Ordinance 1438 be placed on FIRST READING. ROLL CALL: Aldermen Smith, McCleary, Sansing, Ray, Rinker, Traylor, Stroud, Robinson, and Howard voted AYE. NAY (0). MOTION CARRIED.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. Mayor Fletcher noted that City Council had received a preliminary budget at the previous City Council meeting. He reported that General Fund revenues are projected at a slight increase over the original 2011 budget, which was amended due to the slow recovery of the economy. He stated that the 2012 budget expenditures are projected at a slight increase over the amended 2011 budget but still lower than the original 2011 budget. Included in the budget is an employee increase of 2% raise with a cap of $1,000.00 per employee. He stated that it is important to manage the resources so that appreciation could be shown to the hard-working employees. He added that all Departments worked hard to keep this budget as low as possible. He related that all Departments showed a slight increase over the amended 2011 budget, the Finance Department showed a large increase due to replacement of accounting software estimated at approximately $170,000. He then added that the IT Department is due to replace several servers at $75,000. He then related that the Street Fund gasoline tax turnback remains this year at $47.50 per capita however, our population had decreased after the 2010 Census to 28,364 as compared to 29,916 from the 2000 Census. He went on to say that as is the nature of the Street Department, capital project activity is often deferred by either weather conditions or a change in priorities and there were drainage projects and asphalt overlay that had to be carried over from 2011. He related that the overall expenditures declined by 21% and this is mainly in the capital construction category. This decline is mainly the result of the completion of Main, James, and Dupree intersection. He reported that revenues in the Sanitation Fund have increased to $15.50 from $11.00 monthly for each resident and to $26.00 from $20.00 per month for commercial users. He then reported that expenditures rose less than 11% for the year with the majority of increases due to the annual loan payment for the sanitation equipment that was purchased for the automated system. He noted that revenues projected regarding Emergency Medical Services is higher for 2012 due to the base rate of an ambulance run being increased from $395.00 to $495.00 along with an increase in the number of runs. He stated that expenditures increased approximately 4% from 2011 with the majority of increase being due to the increase in the cost of ambulance supplies and the depreciation expense on the new ambulances. He stated that personnel is always the higher portion of a budget, which is approximately 70% of this budget. Contract services are approximately 16% and supplies/materials approximately 5%. He offered the 2012 budget for consideration by the City Council, thanking the Department heads for their commitments and sacrifices. He stated that priorities were reset when the City was hit hard by a decrease in collections. CITY OF JACKSONVILLE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 15, 2011 7:00 P.M. – 7:57 P.M. Alderman Traylor questioned what is included in Contract Services. Finance Director Cheryl Erkel answered that it would include ClearPointe who handles the maintenance on the City’s software, as well as the annual audit and CAFR report. She stated that Contract Services is any service that is hired out and not performed in-house by the City. She then answered that the audit is mostly paid from the Finance Department’s budget, explaining that a small amount is allocated to the Pension Funds, CDBG, and the A&P Commission.
