February 27, 1973 meeting:

"...total dues paid for Department Heads' memberships in civic organizations for
1972 was $270.05."

inserted: "Director Carlson reminded the Board that both the City Manager and
Mayor had emphasized that the 1973 Budget adoption was subject to whatever
specific amendment any Director should raise thereafter. Her motion to strike
City memberships in private -interest groups was promptly made as a matter of
immediate business to the Board."
3. On page 153, that the last line in paragraph two be stricken from the record.
Director Carlson explained that she feels the statement recorded in the minutes on
page 153, last line in paragraph two, is inappropriate in the minutes since she feels
it is a derogatory remark. Mrs. Carlson said if a Board member wants to make a
comment like this in the minutes he must make it in the form of a motion.
Director Orton moved that the last line in paragraph two of page 153 be stricken
from the minutes. Director Carlson seconded the motion. Upon roll call the
following vote was recorded:
"Ayes" Orton and Carlson.
"Nays" Purdy, Noland, Utley, Murray and Stanton.
There being two "Ayes" and five "Nays" the motion did not pass.
Director Carlson moved that Mayor Purdy make a motion making his intention clear
and in accord with parliamentary rules to censure Director Carlson.
Director Purdy replied that he preferred to not do so because "...my feelings are
very strong in this matter and I feel this Board has consumed much time while
important things are left undone. I think this Board ought to get on with its
business."
Director Orton requested that the minutes of the February 20, 1973 meeting be
amended as follows:
Page 149, last paragraph, second sentence, to read, "Director Orton stated that
she was in favor of reducing the requirements for the area but was questioning
the amount of the reduction."
Director Carlson moved that the minutes of the February 20, 1973 meeting be amended
as follows:
Page 146, that the following statement be inserted before the paragraph beginning
with "Ron Woodruff...": "In response to a question from the audience, 'Do we
enforce the ordinance or don't we', Mr. Malone responded that letters were being
written to the cab company."

Director Carlson explained that the above comment should be placed in the
minutes because "...this instance about the taxicab company is a perfect
example of nonfeasance in office." Director Carlson quoted that, "Elected
officials may be removed from office for knowingly failing, refusing or
neglecting to enforce the laws or ordinances in their jurisdiction."
Director Carlson added, "It is the elected directors, not the employees of
the City or the employed City Manager, who are liable for indictment under
that state law."
Director Utley seconded the motion made by Director Carlson to amend the
minutes. Upon roll call vote the motion passed unanimously.
Director Carlson remarked, "I would like the minutes to reflect that the
Directors know and know very well that there are problems in the enforce-
ment of the ordinances."
Director Utley replied, "I move that the minutes further reflect that the
Directors know there is a problem in the enforcement of the taxicab
ordinance."
There being no further additions or corrections to the minutes, the minutes
of the February 20, 1973 and February 27, 1973 meetings were approved as
amended.

other than the transporting of passengers.
Add the underlined portion of the following phrase: "Any holder
who shall refuse to accept a call anywhere in the corporate limits

and the certificate granted to such holder shall be revoked at the
discretion of the City Manager.
John W. Hall, president of the Black/White Taxicab Company in Little Rock, was
present at the meeting to answer questions of the Board members and audience.
Mr. Hall stated that metered taxicab transportation will usually cost twice as
much as the zone rate.
Ron Woodruff, local attorney, commented that taxicab drivers are required by the
state to have a chauffeur's license and he felt the City would be overburdening the
City Police Chief and the potential cab driver by requiring a city taxicab driver's
license. Mr. Woodruff also said that this requirement would give a lot of discretion
to the Chief of Police as to who might drive a cab and who might not.
City Attorney Malone explained that Section 11 requires some information not required
by state statutessand also requires a photograph and the license to be displayed in
the taxicab.
Walter Niblock, attorney representing Fayetteville Transportation Company, said that
John Warren, president of Fayetteville Transportation Company, felt he might have
difficulty getting drivers of the type who would meet the requirements for a city
taxicab driver's license. Mr. Warren said the drivers had to pay a $5.00 fee for
a state chauffeur's license and he felt they would balk on paying the fee for a
city driver's license.
John Hall suggested that the City put the burden of responsibility on the cab company
owner by making the owner carry the information required for a city taxicab driver's
license in his files so it would be available to the City at any time.
161
City Manager Grimes commented that the information called for could be filled
in on a form in a very few minutes.
Mr. Woodruff expressed concern that Section 9 would result in the violation of
due process of law and asked if a probationary period clause could be included
in Section 9.
City Attorney Malone pointed out that the holder shall be given notice of the
proposed action to be taken and shall have an opportunity to be heard.
Mr. Woodruff asked if the Municipal Court could not suspend or revoke a
license of a taxicab driver rather than the action being taken by the Chief
of Police.
Director Stanton commented that in the interest of the public the Chief of
Police should have the authority to suspend the license.
City Attorney Malone said Section 17 and Section 18 go together and he did
not feel there was danger of violation of due process of law.
Director Carlson suggested that Section 18 be allowed to remain as written.
Mr. Woodruff asked how "clean and sanitary" would be defined.
Assistant Mayor Orton stated that the criteria for determining whether a
taxicab were clean and sanitary would change depending on the weather.
City Attorney Malone said he would recommend a definition of "clean and
sanitary" at the next regular meeting of the Board.
Director Noland asked if a family would be charged one fare for taxicab
service or would there be a reduction in fare for additional passengers.
Mr. Niblock said it is standard for persons who get in at one location and get
off at one location to be charged one fare.
The Assistant Mayor called for dismission regarding meters or zones.
Mr. Warren stated that he felt the best method for Fayetteville would be
taxicab meters because Fayetteville is so hard to zone,
Mr. Hall suggested that the Board delay action on the proposed Ordinance and
appoint a committee of taxicab company representatives, taxicab passengers,
and Board members to further study the proposed Ordinance.
Director Utley commented that it would be good that any committee have the
guidance of whether the Board wants meters or zones.
Ernest Lancaster asked if the Board were considering an ordinance for the
citizens of Fayetteville or an ordinance solely for business. Mr. Lancaster
went on to ask, "What would be wrong if the cab company said how they want
to charge?"
Mr. Hall replied that too much competition makes both companies go broke.
The Assistant Mayor said this item should be placed on the agenda for the next
regular meeting of the Board.
City Attorney Malone said he would update the ordinance by making the changes
suggested at this meeting.
The Assistant Mayor introduced Ken Riley of Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning
Commission who explained that the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission
is attempting to establish a two-county land resource management plan which is a
set of policy statements regarding the development activities in Northwest
Arkansas.
Mr. Riley asked the Board members to review the comments as they relate to the
City of Fayetteville and to provide comments to the Northwest Arkansas
Regional Planning Commission before the public hearing date.
Mr. Riley pointed out that the plan was not intended to supersede any local
regulations already in existence.

Walter Niblock, representing John Warren who is president of Fayetteville
Transportation Company, Inc., reported that Mr. Warren would like to have favorable
action taken on the application for a certificate of public convenience and
necessity which has been pending since September, 1972.
Mr. Warren stated that Fayetteville Transportation Company would go along with the
rates set by the proposed ordinance, whatever they might be.
City Attorney Malone said that a section regarding taxicab companies presently
holding certificates would have to be added to the proposed ordinance regulating
taxicabs
Director Noland moved to table the application for a public convenience and
necessity certificate submitted by Fayetteville Transportation Company until the
next regular meeting of the Board. There was no second to the motion.
Director Carlson moved to accept the application for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity submitted by Fayetteville Transportation Company and
issue them a certificate of public convenience and necessity. Director Noland
seconded the motion.
Director Utley proposed that Mrs. Carlson's motion be amended to state that the
application submitted by Fayetteville Transportation Company be accepted and that
it be held in abeyance pending the finalization of the proposed ordinance under
consideration.
Director Carlson pointed out that Fayetteville Transportation Company has said
they will be prepared to operate under the new ordinance or the old ordinance.
City Attorney Malone advised that if the Board issues a certificate to Fayetteville
Transportation Company he does not feel another application for a new certificate
should be necessary under the new ordinance in the event a new ordinance is
adopted. Mr. Malone said, "All the things that are police power in nature can be
made applicable to someone who has a certificate."
Director Utley withdrew his motion to amend.
Mayor Purdy commented that we hear nothing but criticism of the cab company but we
never hear one complain that he cannot get a cab when the weather is good. Mr.
Purdy said, "I think the people of Fayetteville are overly critical for the amount
of business they give the cab company when the weather is good."
Assistant Mayor Orton called for a vote on the motion made by Director Carlson.
Upon roll call the following vote was recorded:
"Ayes" Orton, Purdy, Noland, Murray, Carlson and Stanton.

There being six "Ayes" and one "Nay" the motion passed.
City Attorney Malone asked if the Board wished to consider Yellow Cab Company as
a new applicant for a certificate or as a holder of a certificate.
Tom Pearson, attorney representing Yellow Cab Comapny, stated that Yellow Cab
Company would be happy to comply with the regulations of the new ordinance and
asked the Board to consider Yellow Cab Company as having been granted a certi-
ficate under the old ordinance.
Director Noland moved that the Board recognize Yellow Cab Company as an existing
taxicab company with a certificate of public convenience and necessity. .Director
Utley seconded the motion. Upon roll call vote the motion passed unanimously.
Bob Harlan of the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission was present at
the meeting to show slides and answer questions of the Board regarding planned
unit developments.
Mr. Harlan stated that he felt the 20 -acre area requirement for planned unit
developments was limiting the developers in the area. The standard city block is
about five acres, Mr. Harlan said, and he felt that would be a reasonable piece of
land for a person to work with fbr a planned unit development.
163
Mr. Harlan added that a developer could produce multi -family units cheaper
than he could produce single family dwellings.
Director Carlson stated that she did not approve of a planned unit development
becoming less than 20 acres in an R-1 zone. "If we don't have enough places
to put nice five acre units we could increase the amount of R-2 and R-3 zonings
we have," Mrs. Carlson said.
There was some discussion about the protection afforded property owners in an
area who would object to a planned unit development in their immediate
neighborhood. Director Stanton stated that the recommendation could be made
to the Planning Commission that any planned unit development must be compatible
with the neighborhood in which it is placed
Mayor Purdy moved that the proposed Ordinance be amended to set the area
requirements for a planned unit development in all three residential zones at
five acres. Director Stanton seconded the motion, Upon roll call the
following vote was recorded:

"Nays" Carlson.
There being six "Ayes" and one "Nay" the motion passed.
The matter of whether to place height restrictions on planned developments in
the residential zones was discussed.

be placed on planned unit developments in an R-1 zone, Director Stanton
seconded the motion. Upon roll call the following vote was recorded:
"Ayes" Orton, Purdy, Noland, Utley, Murray and Stanton.
"Nays" None.
