The Board of Directors of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, met in an adjourned
session from the regular meeting of October 18, 1971, in the Directors Room in

of Mayor Starr.
Assistant Mayor Lancaster reported that the purpose of the meeting was to consider
a Resolution approving the Center Square Urban Renewal Project.
The City Attorney read, at the Assistant Mayor's request, a proposed Resolution 1-279
entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,
ARKANSAS, APPROVING THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AND THE FEASIBILITY OF RELOCATION
FOR PROJECT NO. ARK. R-105.
Director Purdy commented that he was basically and generally opposed to Federal
programs of the type proposed. Director Purdy expressed the view that the
Federal Government could not continue to incur budget deficits to fund programs
of the type proposed without disasterous results. While noting his opposition
to this program Director Purdy indicated his willingness to approve the Urban
Renewal Plan because of the commitments by previous members of the Board of
Directors. Director Purdy further noted that he preferred the money to be
spent in Fayetteville rather than some other locality which he assumed would
result if the Urban Renewal Plan for Fayetteville were not approved. After
further discussion, Director McFerran moved that the Resolution be adopted.
The motion was seconded by Director Stanton, and upon roll call the following
vote was recorded:
"Aye", Orton, Purdy, McFerran, Lancaster, Utley and Stanton.
