FEBRUARY 7, 1980
1. ITEM 5c. Agenda: (CONSENT AGENDA: STREET LIGHT PLACEMENT -N. BAILEY - MONROE DR)
Alderman Abdin questioned the possible closeness of existing street lights
in relation to the request placed on agenda. Maycr Reid said he would make
sure, through the Engineering Department, that present ordinance would not
be violated in this respect.
2. ITEM 5 g. Agenda: (CONSENT AGENDA: NON- AGENDA: POLICE DEPT ANNUAL REPORT)
The unanimous consensus of opinion reached was to take Mayor Rei d'' s rec-
ommendation and place on the formal agenda for official action the 1979
Police Department Annual Report as the document had been forwarded to
membership at an earlier date for study.
3. ITEM 10 a. Agenda: (STREET DEPT: SIDEWALKS - NORTHLAKE SUBDIVISION)
A map depicting sidewalk locations in Northlake Subdivision was reviewed by
membership. Petition was also reviewed that was forwarded in agenda packet
revealing 16 signatures of homeowners, residents of the 500 block of Ricky
Raccoon Drive. Said document requested that the City of Jacksonville NOT
install a sidewalk along the East side of said street from Northlake Drive
South to Oneida Drive. Their objections l i s t e d were that such a sidewalk
along either side of the street would be unnecessary and would detract
from the aesthetic beauty of the lawns which have been installed along
with their proposal that said street would not become a thoroughfare.
Unanimous consensus of opinion reached was that the sidewalks w i l l be in-
stalled as per present subdivision regulations with the item of business
not to be discussed in open, official session.
4. ITEM 12 a. Agenda: (SANITATION DEPT: REQUEST TO ADV. FOR BIDS)
Alderman Wilson requested more information be provided covering a request
by Mayor Reid to advertise for bids for one trash loader; boom type, 16-ft.,
and 2 dump trash trailers, 18 -ft.; plus mounting cost to mount loader on
a 1974 Ford Truck. Alderman Wilson requested, in particular, cost estimates
be provided and possibly the amount of savings involved insofar as switching
costs for a trash crew that had been dismissed in place of purchase of afore-
mentioned new equipment. Mayor Reid reported he would submit specifications,
as requested, at next regular scheduled council meeting.
5. ITEM 13 a. Agenda: (PLANNING COMMISSION: BELLEVUE SUBDIVISION REZONING)
Developer, Mr. Doug Wilkinson, was present at proceedings. Final consensus
of opinion reached was to discuss item of business in formal session.
6. ITEM 14 a. Agenda: (CITY COUNCIL ORD. REGULATING WRECKER SERVICE COMPANIES)
Alderman Hughes noted a typographical error in printed agenda that was
corrected at this time. Approved by membership: Change "City Council Ord.
#6 -79 to City Council Ord. #6 -80." Alderman Abdin reported regulations
had been requested by the Jacksonville Police Department. City Atty.
Groce said it would be proper to amend ordinance, if council so chose,
to the effect that companies operating in the city in aforementioned cap-
acity shall pay privilege tax fee each year. Wrecker service availability
for large vehicles was discussed. Chief Shepherd reported the city presently
had only one wrecker service that would be qualified to operate.

received by city clerk's office or mayor's office to place item of

(Purchase of vehicles was authorized by city council at council meet-
ing held on January 17, 1980 through acceptance of bid received from
Gwatney Chevrolet, Jacksonville, Arkansas) City Attorney Groce said
he had no objection to purchase order being issued. Council member-
ship voiced no objection to issuance of aforementioned purchase order
requested by Mayor Reid.
9. ITEM 16 b. Agenda: (ANNOUNCEMENTS: FIRE & POLICE COMMITTEE MEETING)

would like to finalize placement of the ambulances, if possible, at
Feb. 14th meeting. He reported that according to his information only
three firemen wanted to train as E . M . T' s , even realizing their pay would
be increased for performing said task. Alderman Knight wanted to know
where the city stood insofar as holiday pay for uniformed personnel was
concerned. Finance Director Kelley reported the State law was modified
recently to 11 holidays, although the city's ordinance allows for 13.
He further reported the city was presently paying double time on 10
and straight time on the l l th with the City of Jacksonville paying uniformed

to amend present city ordinance as above referenced.

Mayor Reid reported there had been a threat of a law suit against the
city concerning the non - payment of 10% of fines and forfeitures collected in
years past, previous to 1975, that was supposed to have been placed in
Police Pension Fund. General consensus reached was the city would have
to "back" the pension fund any way if money problems become a reality for
the fund and the city has a moral obligation, also, in this regard.
Aldermen Abdin and Fletcher, city council's Police Dept. committee, re-
ported they would attend the next Policemen's Pension Board meeting and
discuss the question of who should legally serve as chairman of said board.

SANITATION DEPARTMENT:
Mayor Reid announced that his request to advertise for bids /trash loader,
dump trash trailers plus mounting cost to mount loader on 1974 Ford Truck
had been discussed in Agenda Meeting with council membership requesting
more information be provided. He reported the information required would
be compiled and request be placed back on agenda.
PLANNING COMMISSION: (REZONING ORDINANCE #3- 80 - -R -1 and R -1A to R -3)
Mayor Reid recognized Mr. Doug Wilkinson, developer, Bellevue Subdivision.
Mr. Wilkinson stated the reason he was requesting rezoning of aforementioned
development was the Jacksonville Housing Authority was looking for placement
of 100 units of low-income housing, and they asked that said property be
put up for consideration. He further stated that at first he didn't go
along and then he changed his mind. He reminded membership property was
presently zoned for single - family dwellings, Mayor Reid updated member-
ship by stating that when item first came before the council in January
the biggest question was the improvement of Northeastern Avenue and if it
could handle the increased traffic that would be generated if aforementioned
housing project was to be built. Mr. Wilkinson reported, in his estimation,
that there wouldn't be any additional traffic generated with none of the
dwellings facing said street. (Aforementioned ordinance failed on 1- 17 -80)
Dedication of Northeastern Avenue was the next topic of discussion with no
positive knowledge being expressed by city department heads that said street
was dedicated to the city. Mr. Wilkinson stated he would be willing to pay
for his portion of the street improvements/300-400 feet.
Mr. Robert Walker, resident of Heritage Park Subdivision, was recognized by
Mayor Reid. Mr. Walker stated he had in his possession a petition signed
by the residents on Northeastern requesting that membership deny request
for rezoning citing bad condition of Northeastern Avenue.
At this time, two questions arose: (1) legality of bringing back a rezoning
ordinance to council table before a year had elapsed (2) cost of improvements
to Northeastern. Addressing item (1) City Attorney was requested to ascertain
the legality of considering rezoning ordinance and bring answer back at later
date. Addressing item (2) City Engineer was instructed to draw up cost es-
timates for improving Northeastern Avenue and see what property owners would
be interested in participating in said project.
