CALL TO ORDER
The Mayor called the special session to order and stated the purpose of the
meeting as being to consider approval of street thermal planing in the area of
the University of Arkansas; and, the consideration of an ordinance to waive formal
bidding requirements for the planing project.
The City Manager reported that the lowest quotation received is $10,077 with
the provision that the City assist by providing traffic control, material hauling,
and rolling. Proposed for planing were portions of Dickson Street from College
to West; Maple from Arkansas to Garland; and Lafayette from College to Highland.
Grimes proposed that, rather than use Revenue Sharing funds which would result in
delays because of required procedures, the City use money allocated for the Wyman
Road resurfacing project and apply Revenue Sharing funds to the Wyman Road project.
The price of the planing would not include adjustments to the manholes. Director
Hughes felt that the planing would be an immediate remedy but that he thought
the City should look at replacing the asphalt with concrete.

URGENT NEEDS FUNDS
60.3 The City Manager reported that the Department of Housing and Urban Development
had determined that the City needed to expend an additional $230,000 to be eligible
for the Urgent Needs funding for water and sewer projects. In order to be eligible
for the Urgent Needs grant, the City had committed an EPA refund to water and
sewer projects which the City staff had not counted. He said that HUD suggested
that additional funds be expended for sewer facilities in the Highway 16 East
area. Grimes recommended an additional $130,000 be expended for completing the
water main loop in the southwest section of the city near Eighteenth Street. The
Board would be requested to take formal action on the matter at its next meeting. II/STREETS
60.4 Director Hughes expressed concern about the streets in town and questioned
why the City seemed to waive some construction standards when developers could not.
He mentioned that recent paving work on College Avenue completed by the State Highway
Department is already deteriorating and felt the City should be able to take some
action to require that the Highway Department block streets while construction is
underway so that traffic is not allowed to travel the new pavement before it has
cooled. At the suggestion of Director Malone, the City Manager stated he would
try to arrange a meeting with the Highway Department District Engineer to allow
the Board to discuss several matters concerning the City. He said he would
attempt to schedule the meeting on or about September 13.
SPECIAL MEETING
60.5 At the suggestion of Director Todd, the Board agreed to schedule a special
meeting for August 23, 7:00 p.m., for the purpose of considering rezoning items
considered at the August 15 Planning Commission meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
60.6 Director Malone moved the meeting be adjourned. There being no discussion or
