CALL TO ORDER
240.1 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Lancaster. Following roll call and a
moment of respectful silence, the Mayor called for consideration of the first item of
business.
1
DRAKE FIELD AIRPORT TERMINAL
240.2 Architect Paul Young was present to present final plans for construction of the
proposed terminal building. Mr. Young recalled progress of plan preparation and
informed the Board that they had received approval of most state and federal agencies.
The final plans would require final approval of City Inspection. He said FAA had
presented him with a modification of the minimum wage rate which, he said, is currently
under appeal to the Federal Labor Department.
240.3 Young called the Board's attention to expansion of the south wing to accommodate
airline freight facilities. He said possibility of providing a truck well at the
freight facilities had been discussed. Insulated tempered tinted glass was proposed
for the building and would, Young advised, alleviate the necessity of providing a larger
heating and cooling system. He said design of the building had been accomplished with
all regards given to energy conservation and that all fire detection and warning devices
required by the building code would be included. The building is designed to accommodate
a maximum of 300 persons and he anticipated that the new building would meet the City's
projected needs for the next ten years. If expansion becomes necessary, Young said
the building could be expanded to the north, south, and in public lobby areas. Al-
though finishing work for the restaurant would have to be completed by the lessee,
Young said that utility connections would be provided. Revenue producing areas of
the terminal would be segregated by FAA and would not be eligible for FAA funding.
240.4 The City Manager advised that the projected cost of the building would be $912,240.
Exclusive use areas would cost $271,665 and would not be eligible for federal funding.
Public use areas would cost approximately $640,575 and would be eligible for 60% federal
funding. Total FAA participation would amount to $384,345 with the City's cost
being $256,230. Grimes said the City has some funds remaining from a previous bond
issue which could be applied to the project. An application to the Ozarks Regional
240
5/16/78
241
Commission for a $170,000 grant had been submitted but Grimes said it could not
be awarded prior to the new federal fiscal year commencing in October when the
Commission would then receive additional funds. He said he felt confident the grant
award would be made.
Grimes reported that the airlines would not be willing to negotiate leases 241.1
which would exceed $10 per square foot per year rental. Grimes felt the City could
put the project together, particularly if.the ORC grant is awarded, which would help
bring the rental rate down. He felt the City could hold down maintenance costs to
approximately $75,000. The project could be put underway at an earlier date, Grimes
said, if the City issued revenue bonds for the City's share of the project. He said
it appears bids could be received by mid-August with 60.days allowed for award of
a bid. By then, the City would have been advised as to the status of the ORC grant.
CO Director Hughes was concerned that delays to await final approval of the ORC 241.2
10 grant would result in increased costs which would exceed the grant amount. Grimes ad -
Q vised the Board that the grant could not be approved after the City has awarded a
Q contract. Hughes felt that the common carrier had caused unnecessary delays in the
project. Grimes said the project could not proceed until final FAA approval of the
Q grant application. Airport Manager Larry Palmer said some delay had been caused when
the airlines refused to commit themselves to the preliminary cost -per -foot rental
figures. He said the airlines assured they would again consider lease negotiations
when the City had decreased the rental rate.
Young advised that FAA would require a final coordination conference before 4 241.3
bids could be awarded. The conference would require two weeks' notice to FAA officials,
utilities representatives, and airline representatives.
II/Director Malone did not favor commencing the project early if it would result in 241.4
loss of a grant. He moved to accept the plans and specifications with the City reserving
the right to alter the plans to correspond with financial resources. He accepted
an amendment by Director Noland that efforts be made to receive bids by August 15.
The motion was seconded by Director Henry.
Mr. Paul Jones, President of Scheduled Skyways, stated that the plans were 241.5
acceptable to his company except that they felt they had not received proper considera-
tion in the amount of space provided for their freight activities. He said their
absolute maximum they could afford ($10 per square foot) would have to included main-
tenance. He said the project is badly needed and should be allowed to progress.
Young informed the Board that FAA required the construction contract include 241.6
a specific completion date and that a liquidated damage clause be added. He requested
the Board consider a 365 -day construction period with liquidated damages set at $100
per day for each day in excess of the construction period.
Director Todd was concerned that the Board was committing itself to inviting 241.7
bids on the plans as presented without knowing the source of financing. Malone said
the Board was attempting to express its desire to proceed with the plans if finances
allow. If sufficient financing cannot be found, then the plans would have to be amended.
Director Noland said he would like a target date of August 15 for receipt of bids.
Prior to receipt of bids, the Board could work on securing the necessary financing.
Director Todd stated he would desire a final check by the Board before the plans were
finalized. The Board advised Mr. Young that he should proceed with arrangements for
the final coordination conference and to return to the Board to report any plan altera-
tions and to discuss a bid date.
The Mayor asked if the motion should pass. The recorded vote was: 241.8
Ayes:. Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.

PARKING CONSULTANT SELECTION
242.1 Director Malone advised the Board that the City had invited proposals from
several parking consultants to study the parking needs to accommodate the Continuing
Education Center development. He said a number of proposals had been received.
242.2 He recommended the Board accept the proposal of Young, Hadawi, DeShazo, Inc.,
Dallas, Texas. That firm had proposed a work program consisting of three phases --
Phase One - Parking Demand Analysis; Phase Two - Economic Analysis; and Phase Three-
Engineering/Architectural Design. Although the firm would be extremely interested
in completing all three phases, Malone recommended the City retain their services
only for completion of phases one and two and that the City retain the option of
selecting a firm to complete the engineering and architectural phases. Malone felt
a Board subcommittee should consider proposals for the design and decide who the City
would like to design the structure. He said the firm proposes to complete the first
two phases at a cost of $8,500 which would include the preparation of the feasibility
study. He said the fee would be taken into consideration if the City decided to have
the same firm complete Phase Three. He said the firm would be willing to complete all
phases for a fee equal to 5.7% of the construction cost.
242.3 Malone said he had made it clear to the firm that the Board would not commit it-
self to that firm for Phase Three. He said the company is recognized as one of the
major parking analysts in the country and that their location in Dallas would provide
them easy access to plans for the hotel complex. He recommended the City enter into
a contract with Young, Hadawi, DeShazo for completion of Phases One and Two, at a
fee of $8,500, as outlined in their proposal letter of September 13, 1977. The motion
was seconded by Director Todd and the recorded vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.
242.4 Members of the Board commended Director Malone for his efforts in securing
proposals for the project.
HOUSING AUTHORITY COOPERATION AGREEMENT
242.5 The Fayetteville Housing Authority had requested the City execute a Cooperation
Agreement in conjunction with construction and operation of 54 additional public
housing units. Housing Authority Administrator Chad Kumpe said 38 conventional and
16 elderly units were being planned. Five other entities would be "bidding" for the
units, Kumpe said. He said the agreement would provide for payments in lieu of taxes
as well as management of the facility by the Fayetteville Housing Authority. He said
the agreement would require the City to remove a like number of substandard units.
He said the City would not have to demolish units necessarily since current housing
repairs being made under the CD program would help the City meet that requirement.
He said there would be no way to secure more housing for the elderly than what was
allotted. He advised the City to clarify its agreement with the County and school
district in regard to in -lieu tax payments.
242.6 The City Manager believed the project would be suitable for locations that are
not being maintained by property owners. Kumpe indicated that, if the City did not
approve the site selected by HUD, the units would probably be located in another city.
242.7 Director Malone, seconded by Todd, moved approval of the execution of the agree-
ment. The recorded vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.

III SALES TAX ORDINANCE REPEAL
Ordinance 2437, adopted by the Board on April 18, 1978, called for approval 243.1
of a one -percent sales and use tax by the voters at the May 30, 1978 election. Levy
of the tax was stipulated to be contingent upon the successful passage of the same
question by City of Springdale voters. Since adoption of Ordinance 2437, the City
of Springdale City Council decided not to place the question on the ballot for Spring-
dale voters. Director Todd moved the proposed sales tax question be removed from
the ballot for the Fayetteville voters. Director Henry seconded the motion.
The City Attorney, in response to Director Noland, advised that the City could 243.2
amend Ordinance 2437 to delete reference to approval by Springdale voters . Although
(V an emergency clause would allow the ordinance to become effective immediately, McCord
(Y) said he would be uneasy about it since the referendum period would not have expired
In prior to the May 30 election. He advised that repeal of Ordinance 2437 would not
hinder any future efforts to levy the tax.
0 The City Attorney read an ordinance, which included an emergency clause, to 243.3

ORDINANCE NO. 2440 APPEARS ON PAGE 70 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK VI
SIGN APPEAL - 2863 Old Missouri Road / Neal B. Albright, petitioner
The petitioner had requested variance from sign ordinance requirements that 243.6
no more than four wall signs be allowed per building, each not exceeding 16 square
feet, to allow him one wall sign per business for a twelve -office complex. Each sign
would be 3 square feet with one wall sign for the complex being 16 square feet.
Albright was present to speak in behalf of his request. He said he plans to 243.7
construct the complex in four phases but he did not want to exhaust sign space
allowances. Albright said his proposal would result in total square footage of less
than what is allowed and that the signs would be one standard design The City Attorney
clarified there would be a total of -12 small signs plus one sign of 16 squarefeet.
Director Malone thought the Board might consider the ordinance for amenment to 243.8
allow anticipation of such situations so that similar appeals would not have to be
necessary. He moved approval of the variance. The motion was seconded by Director
Henry and the recorded vote was:,
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.

ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY - R78-12 / Dickson Street / McClinton Investment
244.1 The petitioner had requested rezoning of a .93 acre parcel, located on the south
side of West Dickson Street between North East Avenue and North Block Avenue, from
R-0 Residential Office to C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial. Left on first reading at
the May 2 meeting, the ordinance to rezone the property was read the second time by
the City Attorney.
244.2 Mr. David McClinton was present to speak in behalf of the petition. He explained
that the rezoning would cause existing structures to comply with setback requirements.
He said he hoped to build an office building in the future which would also accommodate
small specialty shops on the ground floor. He was requesting the C-2 at this time so
that the future development would be permitted and he would not have to repetition
for another rezoning. He said a C-1 zoning would not create problems for the current
use but that there are some height restrictions which would hinder his plans for the
future construction. He said some of the uses for which he hoped to make of the property
were not included in the C-1 classification. He offered a bill of assurance which would
limit the uses to which he would make of the property under the C-2 classification.
244.3 Director Todd suggested that a C-1 classification be adopted as an interim classifi-
cation until future plans are more specific. Director Malone moved the ordinance
be amended to rezone the property C-1. The motion was seconded by Todd and the recorded
vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Henry, Todd, Malone
Nays: Colwell, Noland, Hughes
The motion was declared passed.
244.4 Director Todd, se pnded by Malone moved rules be suspended and the ordinance placed
on third and final reading. The recoraed vote was:

HIGHWAY 71 SOUTH WIDENING
The City Manager informed the Board of State Highway Department plans for 245.6
widening of Highway 71 South from South School Avenue to the Highway 71 Bypass. He
said the project would not cost the City much in utility relocation and that most of
the right-of-way acquisition expense would occur on the west side. He informed that
reimbursement funds from the Gregg and Garland projects had been received. He proposed
that the reimbursements, originally obtained from the Revenue Sharing fund, be
deposited into the Public Works fund and that Public Works funds be used on this
project. He said the project is a state project and that he wanted no federal
funds to be involved. He reported he had requested the Highway Department to include
plans for landscaping where right-of-way permits.
Director Colwell was interested in seeing that parking lots and accesses be 245.7
paved along the highway. Grimes said that, although the City could not require the
business owners to pave their lots, the local Chamber of Commerce appearance committee
might persuade them to improve their access. He said he would discuss the paving of
the areas with the Highway Department.
City Engineer Don Bunn said the utility relocations would probably be done 245.8
by a contractor. Director Malone, seconded by Henry, moved the City Manager be
authorized with plans for the widening of Highway 71 South. The recorded vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.

execute a contract with Dr. and Mrs. Thermon Crocker for installation of two water
meter taps. McCord said the contract stipulates that they would be able, in the
future, to make two additional taps to serve their property on Starr Drive at a cost
in accordance with the fee schedule in effect at the time the connections are made.
He said the property owners agree to dedicate property for an easement in exchange
for the contract. He said the City would not be losing anything but would acquire
an easement.
246.2 Director Malone, seconded by Henry, moved adoption of the resolution. The recorded
vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Henry, Todd, Noland, Malone, Colwell
Nays: Hughes
The resolution was declared passed.

STUBBLEFIELD ROAD SEWER
246.3 Discussed at the May 2 meeting andtabled, City Engineer Don Bunn had provided
the Board with additional data concerning estimated costs for extending sewer westward
on Stubblefield Road. He said the City could get more customers per cost by running
the sewer up Loxley but that the 40 acres of undeveloped property would not be serviced.
He said the area could be served in more than one way with no one way being substantia
costlier than the other. He recommended that Harold Street be sewered if Stubble-
field Road is provided service. Grimes suggested the project costs come from capital
construction account. Bunn said he would prefer to contract the project because of
rock formations.
246.4 Director Malone moved approval of sewer extension to serve Harold Street and
Stubblefield Road westward to serve the Farrish property as well as the existing
residences and 40 undeveloped acres. Director Todd seconded the motion and the recorded
vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.

247
of $22,529.71. Mackey said funds were budgeted in the 1978 Revenue Sharing Budget.
The City Manager explained that the equipment would provide for more efficient 247.1
service to the public and officials who request information regarding ordinances,
resolutions and other public records. The City Clerk informed the Board the equip-
ment would also be useful in establishing off-site storage of permanent records.
Director Malone, seconded by Todd, moved approval of the recommendation. The 247.2

Nays: None

U to B & B Sales and Installation in the amount of $3,202.89. He said 6 & B was the
only bidder.
Q The City Manager said the west side of the building is in good shape. When 247.4
Q asked if the City would be wasting money an an old building, the City Manager re-
called that the Board had committed itself to keeping the hangar at the time a new
roof was placed on the structure.
Director Malone, seconded by Hughes, moved approval of the recommendation. The 247.5
recorded vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone

The City Engineer recommended award of low bid to Jerry Sweetser Construction 247.6
in the amount of $72,338.75 for water line replacement from Lewis Street to Deane
Street and Mount Comfort Road. Bunn said the installation of larger lines in that
area would provide more adequate fire protection.

Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.

LAFAYETTE STREET REPAIRS
248.1 The City Manager reported that recent heavy rains had caused considerable
damage to West Lafayette Street. Rather than make interim repairs, the Street
Superintendent recommended extensive repairs and alterations to the storm drainage
system to provide better drainage Grimes said the Street Superintendent estimated
the cost of such a project to be $14,000 with materials costing approximately $10,000
and labor costing $4,000. Grimes suggested the funds be acquired from the street re-
surfacing account.
248.2 Director Todd agreed that the heavy traffic volume of Lafayette would ,justify
the expense. Director Malone, seconded by Todd, moved the recommendation be accepted.
The recorded vote was:
Ayes: Lancaster, Colwell, Henry, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed.
INCINERATOR BUILDING
248.3 Grimes reported that a cost of approximately $45,000 to ready the incinerator
building for use as a transfer station appeared to be prohibitive for a short-term
use. He recommended that the structure be used for location of Buildings and Grounds
department operations.
RAILROAD CROSSINGS
248.4 Director Hughes requested the Board's reaction to a suggestion that the Board
adopt an ordinance to prohibit any train or rail equipment being in the area to
block any crossing or have the lights operating without equipment approaching for
periods longer than 10 minutes. He cited instances in which warning lights operated
incessantly and of instances in which crossings were blocked for long periods of
time. He suggested the City Attorney research possibility of such an ordinance.
Lancaster agreed and requested the City Attorney also advise the Board of the City's
options in the matter.
EASEMENT ACQUISITIONS
1
248.5 The City Manager reported that the Department of HUD was questioning whether
the City's easements acquisitions for the EPA/HUD funded water improvement projects
had complied with the 1970 Property Acquisition Act. Although the Act had been
adopted in 1970, Grimes said the federal agencies had not enforced the Act immediately
following its adoption. He noted that most of the easements for the projects had
been donated.
248.6 Grimes recommended the City solicit assistance from various representative
delegates to try to determine when the Act was enforced on a uniform basis. He said
the City is in the process of accumulating information regarding easement acquisitions.
He said as -built plans will also be forwarded. Grimes said that cities of Farmington
and Greenland will be responsible for providing information regarding their acquisi-
tions. He asked if the Board would permit contact with representatives for their
assistance. Mayor Lancaster agreed that any steps necessary should be taken to avoid
having to expend a large amount of funds.
248.7 The City Attorney advised that HUD was merely requesting information regarding
the easement acquisitions. He said one way to assist the City would be an amendment
to the Act to provide that easement acquisitions would not be subject to the Act.

LEWIS AVENUE
Director Todd cited recent news media reports regarding requests by the 249.1
Southwest Community Organization for traffic signs in the area of the Lewis Street
housing project. Todd felt the Traffic Superintendent, who had been interviewed
without prior knowledge the interview would take place, had been placed in an unfair
situation and that City policy should be established to deal with such situations.
Directors Todd and Malone commended Traffic Superintendent Perry Franklin s conduct,
saying he did a very good job handling a difficult situation.
