PRESENT: Directors Ernest Lancaster, John Todd, Paul Noland, Al Hughes (arrived 8:00 P.M.), David Malone, Philip Colwell, and Ann Henry; City Manager Don Grimes, City Attorney Jim McCord; Administrative Assistant David McWethy; and City Clerk Angie Medlock. 331 ABSENT: None. N OTHERS PRESENT: Members of the audience and representatives of the news media. CALL TO ORDER QThe meeting was called to order by Mayor Lancaster. Following roll call 331.1 and a moment of respectful silence, the Mayor called for consideration of the Q first item of business. 1 TAXI REQUEST The Mayor declared open a public hearing on a request submitted by 331.2 Willis F. Rose III and Josie Rooney for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to operate a taxi -cab business. The applicant was proposing to purchase the existing Fayetteville Transportation Company assets. Attorney Marshall Carlisle was present representing Mr. Rose. He 331.3 explained that at the present time there are two certificates of public convenience and necessity granted in Fayetteville --one to David Miller and the other to Randall Barnes, Fayetteville Transportation Company. Mr. Carlisle stated that Mr. Rose has an agreement with Randall Barnes to purchase the assets of the Fayetteville Transportation Company. Carlisle said Mr. Rose would be required to take over the operation in its present form, but there are some plans which they will be able to bring before the City in 60-90 days to improve the existing service,. Carlisle said Mr. Rose has had several years experience as a cab driver. u Carlisle explained that Mr. Rose is conducting a study of the cab business 331.4 in Fayetteville and intends to use two new ideas to improve the business: 1) change the present operation of running cabs on a rate schedule which is calculated on a zone basis as provided by City ordinance and install meters in cabs; and 2) to do away with the full-size vehicles and purchase smaller, economical vehicles that could carry 2-4 people in comfort. Carlisle said in order to do that, Mr. Rose would probably have to ask that the City make a study which would allow him to use meters in the cabs. Carlisle noted that Mr. Rose's study reflects many people use a taxi daily to go to and from the same places at the same time and Rose may propose to set up a system of scheduled vans that would carry 12-15 people and would make those appointed rounds at the given times for those people who ride the cabs on a regular basis. Carlisle . said Mr. Rose is hoping that this will allow those persons a lesser fare. Mr. Carlisle said they realize the cab service in Fayetteville has been 331.5 marginal, has not been satisfactory with the passengers, and has not been what many citizens desire. Carlisle said anyone running a cab business must 9/19/78 332 332.1 be allowed to make enough money to make a living without running the risk of overcharging passengers when the opportunity arises and without having to take on extra activities of marginal legality. 332.2 Carlisle said they are asking for approval to buy the existing taxi cab service and come back at a later date with a proposal to improve the cab service. 332.3 Director Todd noted that if the Board approves the franchise, it does not mean they will approve the change in cab service. Todd said he is impressed by Mr. Rose's ideas. Todd questioned why Mr. Rose did. not just come in and ask for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and Carlisle explained that Mr. Barnes wants out of the taxi cab business and to start from scratch would be more complicated and expensive than to buy the existing company. 332.4 Anne Hauser said it seems Mr. Rose is asking permission to run a bus company in addition to a taxi service and asked if they would be under the same type of franchise. She said if there would only be central pickup points, some older people could not walk to those pick-up points. Ms. Hauser said she feels the studies should be completed before the Board makes a decision. 332.5 City Attorney McCord said the capacity of the small bus would fall outside the definition of a taxi cab and may need other approval. He said he would check on this. He stated that the only issue tonight is approval to operate the existing taxi franchise. 332.6 In reply to Ms. Hauser's concern that there would only be central pick-up points, Marshall Carlisle said the passengers would still be picked up at the same place as they are now. 332.7 David Miller, granted a franchise earlier this year, said he plans to open his taxi cab business when the new telephone book comes out, and stated that he has no objection to another cab service. 332.8 Mayor Lancaster said he would hate to consider someone buying over an operation of the same category as whatis operating now. He said he has seen some cabs recently in Fayetteville which shouldn't even be driven. 332.9 Marshall Carlisle said they will guarantee the Board that those cabs will be replaced, hopefully so the operator can make a good impression and still make a return on his money. Carlisle said he feels the Board has bent over backwards to oblige the cab operators in Fayetteville. Mr. Carlisle said he feels confident Mr. Rose will put what he says into being. He noted that this will change the structure of the cab business, but said you cannot operate a full-size automobile in the City in a cab business and break even. 332.10 Director Todd questioned if the City had any experience with Mr. Rose when they were checking the cab companies and Mr. Grimes said "no". 332.11 David Malone stated that this would cause a lot of changes in the City ordinance which would also affect the other cab operation. Mr. Miller said he would not object to the changes and only requested that Mr. Rose not use the same color cab as he uses. 332.12 Director Malone moved that the franchise transfer be granted. Noland seconded the motion. 332.13 Anne Hauser said she feels the Board should tion the metering of the cabs. 332.14 David Miller said he does not object to the you could only carry one passenger at a time. 332.15 The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Nays: None. Absent: Hughes. The motion was declared passed. seriously take into considera- metering, but pointed out that Henry. 1 1 1 1 9/19/78 EXTENSION OF WATER LINE The City Engineer had requested authorizatfion to participate in the cost of extending a water lineonCounty Road 649, south of Highway 16 West. City Manager Don Grimes explained that this is an 8" water line which would be extended for 500 feet and the estimated cost of the extension would be approximately $4,500. He explained that it is being proposed that the City pay $3,500 and the owner's cost would be $1,000, which it would cost him to extend a 2" water line to his home. He noted that if the line is extended all the way through, it will eventually make a tie between Highway 16 West Highway 62 West at Farmington. Director Noland, Chairman of the Water and Sewer Committee, said this extension was in the plans to do at some time in the future, but they do not have the money at the present time. Director Hughes, seconded by Noland, be authorized to participate in the cost County Road 649. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None.

DISPOSAL OF OLD RECORDS 334.2 The City Clerk had requested authorization to dispose of certain old records consisting principally of cancelled checks, paid bills and invoices, and miscellaneous receipts from the period 1964-1974. All have been microfilmed for permanent records. City Attorney McCord explained that these are supportive documents and have to be maintained for only three years. 334.3 Director Hughes, seconded by Malone, moved that authorization be granted to dispose of these records. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. The motion was declared passed. CONTINUING EDUCATION CENTER 334.4 Director Malone gave the Board members a copy of a memo from Boyd London, with First Southwest in Dallas, who is working on the bond package and making recommendations. Malone said Mr. London is making a recommenda- tion that the City involve an underwriter, primarily because the underwriter can help in the sale of the bonds. He said Mr. London is suggesting Stevens Inc. as the mayor underwriter. 334.5 Director Malone moved that Stevens Inc. be authorized to serve as the major underwriter for the bonds for the Continuing Education Center and parking facility. Hughes seconded the motion. 334.6 Director Todd questioned if there is anyone locally who could handle this and Malone said there is not anyone locally, but there are some firms in Little Rock. Todd asked how the underwriter would get compensated and Malone explained he would get a percentage of the sales. Malone explained that the recommendation here is that these bonds are not the type which could be sold at an advertised bid. He said the underwriter will go around and find buyers for the bonds. He said the primary reason for engaging the underwriter at this time is to get his suggestion on how the bonds should be packaged for sale 334.7 Director Todd questioned how they would know Stevens price is competitive and Malone said there are standard commissions. 334.8 The recorded vote on the motion to authorize Stevens Inc. as the major underwriter for the bonds for the Continuing Education Center and parking facility was: Ayes: Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. Abstain: Todd. The Mayor declared the motion passed. 1 1 9/19/78 335 PARKING FACILITY Director .Malone explained that Young, Hadawi, and DeShazo, as well as 335.1 the Hilton people, the Continuing Education Center architects, and the utility companies need to know the layout of the parking facility Malone said before completion of the feasibility study, they need to get on with the schematic design. Malone distributed a copy of a proposal from Young, Hadawi, and DeShazo and said they indicated if they do receive the final design job, they will credit the $6500 toward their fee. If they do not receive the project, all the work done thus far will be the property of the City of Fayetteville. Director Malone said Mr. Hadawi had called and indicated he would work with a local architecture firm, Hailey -Powers. (v Director Malone moved to authorize Young, Hadawi, and DeShazo to proceed 335.2 with the schematic design stage of the parking structure for a fee of $6500 LO and with the understanding they will associate with Hailey -Powers architects. Director Hughes seconded the motion. The recorded vote was: O Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Q Nays: None. Q The motion was declared passed. STREET MEMORANDUM City Manager Grimes explained that he is proposing a resolution be passed 335.3 authorizing the Mayor to execute agreements and contracts necessary to expedite the construction of improvements on city streets. Mr. Grimes explained that in the Urban Systems projects the State has had some problems with other municipalities and the State wants to be sure Fayetteville is serious about their Urban Systems projects. He noted that it is proper under the statutes and code for the Mayor to have the contract authority but in some instances there may be several small change orders in a short period of time and .it is good if the engineers can come in and discuss these changes with the City Manager and he can go out and look at them and approve them, to keep the contractors moving. Director Hughes moved that the Mayor be authorized to execute agree- 335.6 ments necessary to expedite construction on city streets. Director Noland asked if there have been any cost figures submitted on 335.7 relocating the water/sewer lines on South School and Mr. Grimes said the City Engineer's office is working on these figures, but do not have the cost yet. Mr. Grimes said all utility companies have received a set of the plans. Director Malone suggested they amend Sections 1 and 2 of the resolution 335.8 to reflect that the Mayor is authorized to execute agreements on city streets "located on the Federal Urban Systems". Director Hughes amended his motion to add that the mayor is authorized 335.9 to execute agreements on city streets "located on the Federal Urban Systems". Malone seconded the amended motion. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. The mayor declared the resolution passed. RESOLUTION NO. 58-78 APPEARS ON PAGE 247 OF ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION BOOK VI. 1 336 9/19/78 OTHER BUSINESS YOUTH CENTER 336.1 City Manager Grimes said he had distributed copies of the proposed youth center facility to be constructed utilizing general obligation bonds. He said the Youth Center people had not realized it is necessary to obtain Board authorization to advertise for bids. He said they are asking for authorization to advertise for bids for construction of the multi-purpose facility. 336.2 Director Hughes questioned who owns the Youth Center property and Grimes said the City Attorney and he have met twice with the school board to work this out. Grimes said the Youth Center structure itself is owned by the Youth Center, constructed by donations and possibly with some school money. Grimes said the land is owned by the school system. Grimes said they are in the process of getting the land leased to the City so they will be legal to expend bond funds to construct the expansion. He said the lease provides they will continue the operations as in the past. 336.3 Director Hughes asked why, if the City doesn't own the building, they should pay for the roof repair to the structure. Mayor Lancaster asked if the roofing company who roofed the building shouldn't be responsible for the leaking and Director Henry said the roof has been leaking for several years. 336.4 Malone said what bothers him is the Board needs to be more informed and involved on what happens because if there are problems, people will come back before the Board. He noted that the original design plans showed two floors and the drawing submitted only shows one. 336.5 Grimes noted that this is the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board's project, but they have been working in conjunction with the Youth Center Board. 336.7 Anne Hauser said she feels Fayetteville should have a better business bureau. She noted that there was a roofer working in Fayetteville who gave a written guarantee, but now no one can find him. Director Malone said the Better Business Bureau is not a public organization, but is supported by memberships of businesses. Mayor Lancaster noted that there was a branch of the Better Business Bureau opened in Fayetteville 10-12 years ago, but the people did not support it. 336.8 Malone said the Chamber of Commerce has some sort of organization of people in the community who have agreed to a standard form of ethics and suggested Ms. Hauser talk to them about expanding their efforts. 336.9 Malone moved to authorize the City to take bids for the Youth Center. Hughes asked if the Board should act on this since it is the first time they have seen the plans. Director Todd agreed that they should have seen the plans before the meeting but noted that the Youth Center is ready to advertise for bids as soon as the Board authorizes advertising for bids. He said the Board may need to think about separation of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Youth Center Board. 336.10 Director Malone said he would like to ask the City Manager to communicate with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Youth Center Board to clear up any misunderstanding and explain that the City Board will award the bid and they need to be fully aware of what is happening. He said if this is to be a City owned building, they need to operate on the same basis as other city buildings and need to be fully informed before making decisions. 336.11 Director Malone, seconded by Colwell, moved to authorize the Youth Center to advertise for bids for the construction of the Youth Center multi-purpose gymnasium. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Mays: Hughes. The Mayor declared the motion passed. 6-3 la 9/19/78 ACT 9 BONDS - Arkansas Best Freight • 337 IIICity Attorney McCord explained that for a number of reasons, the underwriters 337.1 and Arkansas Best Freight are requesting the name on the bonds be changed from Arkansas Best Freight to Arkansas Bandag Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Arkansas Best Freight. He noted the reasons for the change being 1) all of Arkansas Best Freight's terminals are owned by the subsidiary rather than Arkansas Best Freight, 2) to have Arkansas Best Freight as the leasee would require Interstate Commerce Commission approval, and 3) the proposed change has been approved by all 11 bond purchasers and the trustee, First National Bank of Fayetteville. He said the net worth of the subsidiary is approximately 5 million dollars. Director Malone, seconded by Henry moved rules be suspended and the 337.2 N ordinance placed on second reading. The recorded vote was: co Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. [f) Nays: None. (0 Director Hughes, seconded by Malone, moved rules be further suspended 337.3 Q and the ordinance placed on third and final reading. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Q Nays: None. Todd was concerned if the City would be liable if the corporation goes 337.4 defunct and McCord explained that this is a special obligation payable solely from the proceeds of the lease and is not a general obligation of the City. He said the only recourse of the bond holders is toward the mortgage of the land and the assets of the company. Malone explained if the company went out of business the City would get 337.5 the property and could sell it to satisfy any remaining balance. McCord said if there was a deficiency in satisfying the remaining balance, the bondholders would have no recourse against the City. The Mayor asked if the ordinance should pass. The recorded vote was: 337.6 Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. The mayor declared the ordinance passed. ORDINANCE NO. 2471 APPEARS ON PAGE 116 OF ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION BOOK VI. 1 FIREMEN & POLICE PENSION FUNDS Malone said the firemen and police pension funds are troubling because the State establishes the rates and prescribes hours of work, vacation time, etc. and he feels this should be the function of the local government. He said if the State is going to work in these areas, it is very important that they look at the financial stability of the pension and relief boards. He agreed with City Controller Tobin that the State should provide a means of making these pensions actuarily sound. The Board discussed the possibility of sending a recommendation to the State legislature. 337.7 337.8 BIRTHRIGHT, INC. Anne Hauser, founder and director of Birthright, Inc. of Fayetteville, 337.9 was present and read a statement explaining the functions of her organization 9/19/78 333 which is an emergency pregnancy organization which offers alternatives 338.1 to abortion for any person who finds herself in an unplanned pregnancy. She said they provide professional counseling, medical and ministerial assistance, food, clothing, and a place to live. Ms. Hauser said they have an office at 1212 South Duncan, Apartment 12 and have a telephone line which is answered 24 hours a day. TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AT THE MALL ENTRANCES 338.2 Todd noted that correspondance from the Highway Department indicates that they feel the City should close off left turn lanes in two places and in effect, increase the traffic at Stearns Road, which hopefully will result in a traffic signal. After a discussion, Grimes said if the Board would like to recommend it, they could write back to the Highway Department that there is justification for a traffic signal at Stearns Road, on the basis of what is happening now at the mall entrances and what would happen if they close two of the left turn lanes. He said the City Board 'could ask the Highway Department to approve the traffic signal in advance, so they don't have to move all the traffic through the one entrance while they make traffic counts. 338.3 Malone noted that General Growth Management Corporation has granted leases at the mall on the basis of the layout as it now is and they may be opening themselves up to suits from the lessees. He felt this may open the City up to an argument that they are taking property without compensation if they cut off some of the accesses into the mall. Malone said he feels this should be explored fully by the City attorney. Malone also asked if the City has the authority to close the entrances, because the Highway Department takes the position that they have control over Highway 71B. 338.4 City Manager Grimes said he had received a letter from the Highway Department which indicated they have nothing to add to Mr. Barnett's recommendation which was send out in the agenda. Grimes noted that from the outset, there has been talk about closing some of the left -turn accesses, but he feels they should request a signal before closing any of the accesses. 338.5 Malone said he feels the Highway Department has not undertaken what they should for their part of this problems or paid any of the cost. He said they should try to help solve the problem. He noted that the grades of the highway furnished to the developer of the mall did not match the finished grade of the highway and this has caused some of the problem with sight distance. He noted also that the highway department put in the left -turn lanes but have not been willing to share in the cost of improvements for the change. 338.6 Director Todd said the next step should be to talk about closing the south entrance in exchange for a traffic signal at Stearns Road. Malone said he would like to ask the highway department if they will let the City close an access point, since they put those in originally. Grimes noted that the City would probably be expected to buy the signal. He said the only one the highway department has put in on Highway 71 is at North Street. 338.7 Malone suggested that they respond to the letter from the highway depart- ment saying the Board does not feel this will completely solve the problem, but will be a partial solution, and the Board feels 1) it is the highway department's responsibility to close the access points and take the action 1 1 1 9/19/78 • which they think is appropriate, and 2) the Board feels a signal is necessary at Stearns Road and since it would seove a large number of property owners, the highway department should'install the signal. Malone moved that City Manager Grimes write a letter to the Highway Department saying they agree with their recommendations, but do not know that the City has the authority to make such decisions with regard to Federal highways and if they wish to implement their recommendations, please proceed with all of them, including closing the left turns and ation of the traffic signal at Stearns Road first, the City encourages to do so. Todd seconded the motion. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. The motion was declared passed. Malone also asked that they ask the Highway Department to take new counts on the Frontage Road after the completion of the expansion of the mall, and take these counts on Saturdays and at a time which would include closing times of the shops in the mall. 339 339.1 install- them PICKUP OF NEWSPAPERS Todd questioned if there has been an update of prices on newspaper and said it appears the market is better now/than it has been and he would like to see an update of the prices. COMPUTER INSTALLATION 339.2 339.3 339.4 Todd said the Finance Committee feels they need someone who is experienced 339.5 on reviewing the feasibility of computer installation. He read a resolution which would authorize the City Manager to engage the services of a consultant to assist in the evaluation and acquisition of electronic data processing equipment. Malone asked if Todd is thinking of asking for funds if they do not 339.6 get a grant and Todd indicated they probably would. Todd said the number of needs they have to meet and how they meet the 339.7 needs is critical in the specification writing and he doesn't feel the City wants the vendors writing the specifications. Director Hughes said he feels they should talk to some cities who are 339.8 already automated to the degree which Fayetteville wants to be or beyond. He said he doesn't feel the City needs to spend any more money on consultants until they see what other cities have done. Malone said he feels these are two different problems and said possibly they should consider sending the Controller and Finance Committee to a seminar concerning this. He said he feels a consultant could tell the City what they could afford and basically what equipment will do what. Malone said he is inclined to believe they could find a consultant in Fayetteville who would have enough expertise to give them a recommendation. Directors Noland and Malone agreed with Todd's resolution and Noland said 339.9 he feels spending this money now may save a lot of trouble in the future. Grimes said they could put together information on what they think they want and invite proposals. The recorded vote on Todd's resolution was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. The resolution was declared passed. RESOLUTION NO. 59-78 APPEARS ON PAGE 248 OF ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION BOOK VI. J 340 9/19/78 CABLE TV - Little Rock Stations 340.1 Director Todd read a resolution directing the City Manager to pursue means of having the FCC reconsider their decision refusing Fayetteville accessibility to Little Rock stations. Malone seconded the resolution. 340.2 Director Hughes said he is not sure they want to get Little Rock stations, but said he felt they would have a better chance of trying to obtain only news and informative programs from the state capitol. Todd said he would not object to this. 340.3 The recorded vote was: Ayes: Todd, Noland, Hughes, Malone, Lancaster, Colwell, Henry. Nays: None. The resolution was declared passed. RESOLUTION NO. 60-78 APPEARS ON PAGE 249 OF ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION BOOK VI. GARLAND & MELMAR INTERSECTION 340.4 Director Hughes pointed out that the intersections of Garland and Melmar and Garland and Bel Air are so grown up that you cannot see to get out onto the highway. He said he had brought this up at the July 5 meeting and nothing has been done to clear visibility for vehicular traffic. MINUTES 340.5 Director Noland said Paragraph 316.8 should be amended to read that the parent company paid about "35%" rather than "70%". Noland also noted that there was a typing error on 316.1. 340.6 Director Todd noted on Paragraph 317.12 it should say there 18% "return" rather than "increase". 340.7 Director Colwell said on Paragraph 329.4 it should say "my" rather than the "City's " concern about the parking problem. With these corrections the minutes were approved as mailed. The meeting adjourned at 9:40 P.M. ATTEST: 176 `iiicoikofc Angel Medlock, City Clerk APPROVED: was an concern Ernest E. Lancaster, Mayor 1 1
