PRESENT: Mayor David Malone, Directors Noland, Phil Colwell, and Ann City Clerk Angie Medlock, and McWethy. ABSENT: City Manager Don Grimes. Ernest Lancaster, John Todd, Paul Henry; City Attorney Jim McCord, Administrative Assistant David OTHERS PRESENT: Members of the audience and representatives of the news media. CALL TO ORDER 86.1 Following a moment of respectful silence and roll call, the Mayor called for consideration of the first item of business. OPEN CHANNEL PRESENTATION 86.2 Fayetteville Open Channel representatives made a presentation showing how the Open Channel program proposed for Fayetteville would work and showed examples of programs which had been recorded, both in Fayetteville and in other cities. 86.3 Doug Wilson, Northwest Arkansas Legal Services, was present representing Fayetteville Open Channel. He said they had elected a coalition of 15 citizens, and have been working with Warner Cable to set up the program. Wilson said they hope to go on the air by August of this year if things can be worked out. 86.4 Director Todd asked if the City would have any responsibility in the program and Wilson said the Open Channel group is trying to proceed with Warner Cable on a direct basis with no governmental activity. 86.5 Director Todd asked if the Open Channel plans to film public meetings, such as the Board of Directors, and Wilson said they might. He said, how- ever, some of the agencies which want to be filmed may have to bear a portion of the cost of filming. Director Todd asked if there would be any cost to the cable subscribers and Rip Lindsey said the cable company has agreed to furnish cable facilities for transporting the video to the tape at no cost; however, if Warner Cable is asked to provide other services, the charge would work back into the rate base. REZONING APPEAL / Clifford Moyer 86.6 The second item for consideration was an appeal of a decision by the Planning Commission regarding rezoning of property located on the west side of Coach Road, 700 feet north of Sunrise Mountain Road, requested by Clifford & Harriet Moyer. The proposed change was from A-1 to R-1, Low Density Residen- tial District. 86.7 Mayor Malone asked if the property is located below the water pressure pump and Moyer said it is. Moyer said they would not have to go through the pressure pump to get water to the property as there is a 1" and a 11/4" private line to the property and he has purchased water rights to both of his properties. He commented that the water situation has not caused any problems. 86.8 Mayor Malone noted that the City could not provide fire protection from the existing water lines, but Moyer had said they could pump water from a 1 1 1 6-19-79 nearby pond if fire protection were needed. Malone commented also that sewer is not available to the property. Mr. Moyer explained that a few years ago the City gave permission for a 2" water line to serve the property. Mayor Malone noted that this was in an effort to get water to all existing residences within the City limits and the lines were not designed for expansion. Mayor Malone stated that one reason the Planning Commission gave for denying the rezoning petition was that the property lacks the necessary public facilities. Mr. Moyer stated that electricity and gas are available to the property. Director Todd said streets and sewer are not in place, and he feels these improvements are essential for development. Mr. Moyer said the street was accepted by the City a few years ago. Q) He said Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones had shown him a note from the 0 city manager saying that the City did approve the road. CO Administrative Assistant David McWethy clarified that there was a 1971 letter from former City Manager Wesley Howe accepting the streets and con- firming that building permits would be issued. McWethy pointed out, however, C that the owner could get a permit to build a structure under the present A-1 C zoning. +le said the question now before the Board is proper zoning of said property. Director Todd said that with only limited facilities in place, the property could support "a building" in A-1. Director Todd asked if the property owner would be required to install sewer and Mr. Moyer said the lots would be on peptic tanks --the subdivision was platted in 1969, thus the lots are exempt from the 11 acre requirement for septic tanks. Director Todd moved the appeal be denied. Director Henry seconded the 'motion. Director Osborne asked when Mr. Moyer had purchased the property and Moyer said he had bought Lot 2 in 1977 and Lot 3 in 1969. The recorded vote on the motion was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Malone. Nays: Noland, Osborne. The mayor declared the motion passed and the rezoning appeal denied. REZONE PROPERTY / Washington Mountain Estates David Powers and Jim Vizzier were present to represent the rezoning petition submitted for Washington Mountain Estates from A-1, Agricultural District to R-1, Low Density Residential District, for 138.8 acres located south of East and West farmers: Avenue and south and east of Finger Road. The rezoning had been recommended by the Planning Commission by a 7- 0-1 vote. Jim Vizzier explained that the property owners plan to develop the property as a Planned Unit Development as they are limited to what they can do with the property on top of the mountain due to the FAA tower which is there. Vizzier said they are estimating 102 acres will be useable. Jim Vizzier stated that approximately 55 acres located to the south is outside the Fayetteville city limits and said the owners do plan to proceed with annexation of this property. The mayor said he would prefer the property be annexed before plats are submitted to the Planning Commission so the Commission may look at the property as a whole, and it would not have to be presented to both the .City and County planning boards for approval. Mr. Powers indicated this is their intent. Director Lancaster questioned accesses to the property and P1r. Vizzier said they are looking at five different accesses Mr. Powers noted that some additional property has been purchased which would provide access to Finger Road. 87 87.1 87.2 87.3 87.4 87.5 87.6 87.7 87.8 87.9 87.10 87.11 87.12 87.13 88 6-19-79 88.1 Director Noland said it is questionable if the present water system would meet the subdivision requirements for water and Vizzier said they may have to work something out on this --possibly a booster pump to provide service. Vizzier said water and sewer are both available to the property. 88.2 City Attorney McCord read the ordinance rezoning the property from A-1 to R-1. 88.3 Director Henry, seconded by Colwell, moved the rules be suspended and the ordinance placed on second reading. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Osborne, Malone. Nays: None.

LOT FRONTAGE WAIVER / Hattie Bass 88.6 The mayor acknowledged a letter submitted by Attorney Truman Yancey explaining the request for a waiver of the tandem lot ordinance requirements to allow a 15 foot easement to be used as access to a .21 acre parcel of property located near the intersection of E. Meadow and N. Washington Avenue. 88.7 Mr. Yancey commented that this lot is served by sewer and has been checked for compliance with the flood plain regulations. He noted that the flood plain is present on a portion of the property but would not affect the building site. 88.8 Director Lancaster asked if the 15 -foot drive would include a turn- around and Yancey said it would not. 88.9 Mayor Malone asked if the property could be served by fire and sanitation trucks and Yancey said "no". He said however, the distance from this property to the road is only 60 feet. Yancey suggested an emergency vehicle could use the drive, but sanitation trucks would not be able to. He said trash would have to be picked up at the street line. 88.10 Mayor Malone asked if the easement is "legal" and Yancey said he was not able to find a deed or easement to the property. He said the lots were deeded off by metes and bounds descriptions excluding the 15 foot strip. 88.11 Director Colwell asked where visiting cars would park and Mr. Yancey said they would have to park on the street. Yancey pointed out that many lots in the neighborhood do not have drives and thus have to park on the street. 88.12 Mr. Yancey said Ms. Bass would like to widen the easement but the adjoining property owners are not willing to relinquish any additional property to be used for the driveway. 1 1 1 6-19-79 19 Mr. Yancey said visiting cars could park in the 15 -foot drive. Director 89.1 III Colwell said he felt gravel could be put on the drive and it would be suitable for vehicular traffic. The directors suggested a turn -around should be provided so cars would not have to back out onto the street. Director Henry moved the waiver be granted on the condition a driveway 89.2 be constructed to take care of the off-street parking problem. Marion Orton asked if it would be detrimental to the adjoining property 89.3 owners to have the 15 -foot driveway right next to their property. Ms. Orton said the adjoining property owners might have cars parked all along the side of their lot. Director Colwell seconded Henry's motion. 89.4 The recorded vote was: 89.5 Q) Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Osborne, Malone. O Nays: None.

Body Company, regarding the issuance of an additional $100,000 in "Act 9" industrial development revenue bonds. Director Lancaster asked if this bond issue would carry the same 89.7 stipulations as the original issue and Mayor Malone said it would. He said these are not general obligations of the City, but are backed by -lease payments which will be received from Hackney Bros. Body Company. Director Todd questioned the need for the additional money and David 89.9 McWethy said it is needed to finish the project. Director Todd, seconded by Lancaster, moved the resolution be approved. 89.10 The recorded vote was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Osborne, Malone. Nays: None. The mayor declared the resolution passed. RESOLUTION N0. 5i-70 APPEARS ON PAGE Rol OF ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION BOOK VII. SIGN APPEAL / Jefferson Bus Lines Attorney John Unger explained that due to the City needing to take additional right-of-way for the widening of Highway 71 South, Jefferson Bus Lines must move their existing sign from its present location. Mr. Unger said the request submitted by Jefferson Bus Lines is that they be allowed to move their sign back to 20 feet from the street right-of-way and the sign ordinance requires a 37 foot setback from the street right-of-way. Unger explained that at 20 feet back, the sign would be directly in front of the building --at 37 feet back it would be in the middle of the building. Mayor Malone said the right-of-way agent for the City has indicated the sign would have to be moved as it is presently located within the area which will be used for widening Highway 71 South. Director Henry questioned if the sign would,when moved, conform with the provisions of the sign ordinance which take effect in 1980 and Sign Inspector John Dietzen indicated the signat the 20 foot setback line, would be considered conforming with a variance from the Board of Directors. He noted that a smaller sign could be allowed at 20 feet back without requiring a variance. 89.11 89.12 89.13 90 6-16-79 90.1 Mr. Unger pointed out also that it is not any of the bus station's actions which have caused the problem of needing to move the sign. Mayor Malone asked how far back the building sits and Unger said it 90.2 is is -t4 ft. fror the riht-of-way. In response to the directors, Sign Inspector Dietzen said the bus company could have approximately a 28 sq. .ft. sign at 24 feet back, which would be in conformance with the sign ordinance. 90.3 The mayor said he would be in favor of the City buying a sign for the bus lines which would conform to regulations. rather than granting a variance for the present non -conforming sign. 90.4 Director Lancaster pointed out that construction of the new highway on 71 South would probably not begin until after January 1980 and in January 1980 the existing sign would be non -conforming and would have to come down. 90.5 In response to the directors, John Unger said he had been told the easement for highway right-of-way across the bus lines property should have been cleared up some time in May, but the bus company has not yet returned the easement to the City, pending the outcome of the sign variance. 90.6 Mr. Unger indicated he felt Jefferson' Bus Lines would be agreeable to the City's purchasing for then a new sign which would meet sign ordinance requirements. 90.7 Director Henry moved the appeal for a variance from the sign ordinance be denied. Director Todd seconded the motion. 90.8 The city attorney asked Mr. Unger to contact him to try to work out something concerning the sign. 90.9 The recorded vote on the motion was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Osborne, Malone. Nays: None. The mayor declared the motion passed. PARKS GRANT AUTHORIZATION 90.10 Administrative Assistant David McWethy explained the proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager to apply for a Bureau of Outdoor Recreation grant for park improvements in Walker Park and in Lake Fayetteville Park. 90.11 McWethy reviewed that Bryan Walker had said he would relinquish the deed to Walker Park to the City when the City had completed certain things, such as opening up Block Street, which they have done. McWethy said the grant application proposed would provide money to do some of the things stipulated in the agreement between Walker and the City, as well as a ball field at Lake Fayetteville. 90.12 McWethy said the City has, at the present time, $191,000 available for the matching grant ($170,000 to come from Community Development). He said they are hoping to obtain matching funds through the grant to have a total of grproximately $380,000 for park improvements. He pointed out that the Community Development money plus the matching amount, will have to be spent for improvements to Walker Park and not Lake Fayetteville. 90.13 Mr. McWethy stated that the City still does not have the deed to Walker Park and must own the park before they can apply for the grant, using Community Development funds. He said the deadline for applying for the BOR grant is June 29. Director Henry, seconded by Lancaster, moved the city manager be 90.14 authorized to apply for a parks improvement grant. The recorded vote was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Osborne, Malone. Nays: None. The mayor declared the motion passed.

Green said they have received the following bids: $4,787 for waterproofing the leaking planter; $250 for recaulking leaking windows on the first floor; and $1,245 for providing a parking space for physically handicapped people. 92.5 City Attorney McCord said $200,000 was provided for library expansion in the 1978 General Obligation Bond Issue and the bid received for construction was approximately $10,000 less than estimated. He suggested this remaining money be used for improvements which Green had outlined. 92.6 The Mayor asked that the city attorney check with bond counsel to determine if the remaining bond money could be used for this purpose. 92.7 Director Lancaster asked that they have a firm contract and a bond to back up the waterproofing work which will be done. 92.8 Director Henry moved to approve the allocation of $4,787 for waterproofing the planter, $250 for caulking around existing windows, and $1,245 for providing a parking space for physically handicapped persons, provided the money can be taken from the remaining GO bond money.

She said they would readvertise those committee vacancies. Henry said Census Tracts 107, 110, and 111 need representation so the committee will be in compliance with regulations. WAGE RATE REQUEST Director Todd said the Finance Committee had asked the city manager to review the employee's request for a 5% raise, particularly in regard to the Wage and Price Stabilization Board regulations. Director Todd stated that throughout discussions on the request, there has never been any indication that more than 7% raise was actually given, when in fact about 10% was given. Administrative Assistant McWethy said it has been mentioned that some employees, particularly in the lower categories, did receive more than 7%. Director Todd stated that the unclassified employees received 7% plus they are eligible for a $20 merit raise on their anniversary date. Todd asked if almost every employee gets the merit raise and McWethy said it is not an automatic raise --employees get them for meritorious service. David McWethy said the city manager is asking the Board for permission to request a variance from the Wage and Price Stabilization Board and at some later time, assuming the variance is granted, and the City Board is inclined to consider the raise request by the employees, the Board could decide how much, if any, raise could be given and to whom. 93 93.1 93.2 93.3 93.4 93.5 93.6 93.7 93.8 93.9 94 94.1 94.2 6-19-79 Director Todd asked if this would mean revoking the $20 merit raise and David McWethy said he would assume it would be in addition to the merit raise. Mayor Malone suggested the city manager write a letter to the Wage and Price Stabilization Board explaining that the city employees have requested a 5% raise and explaining the facts --employees had received a 7% raise at the beginning of the year, plus they are eligible for a $20 merit raise on the anniversary date of their employment. Malone said they could also ' point out that based upon a recent salary survey, Fayetteville city employees make 14% less than city employees in comparable jobs in other cities, and ask the Board if based upon these facts, would the Board permit an increase above the 7%. 94.3 Director Todd stated that he feels the City "is asking for something totally out of line when you are talking about 15% increase. I think that is irresponsible on anybody's part, particularly a public body like this." 94.4 Todd asked if they are talking about 12% or 15% total raise. Todd said the City has already exceeded the 7% limitations. Mayor Malone said as he understands the regulations, they will permit merit increases. He said the provisions allow further for, some slots vacant during the year which result in salary savings. He said the 7% is figured on the overall budgeted amount for its salaries. 94.5 Director Colwell said he feels they should communicate with the Wage and Price Stabilization Board. Director Henry noted that the Finance Committee had decided the raise would not be given under the present guide- lines so the determination from the Board would be the only alternative to further consideration of the wage request. 94.6 Director Todd said he would like the letter to reflect a ceiling of 12% total increase which would include everything. Director Lancaster pointed out that merit raises have never been considered in the percentage. 94.7 Mayor Malone moved to authorize Mr. Grimes to submit an appeal to the Wage and Price Stabilization Board as requested in the letter. Director Henry seconded the motion. 94.8 Director Todd moved the request be amended to include an indication that the total maximum raise would not exceed 12%. Director Noland seconded the motion. 94.9 Director Lancaster stated "if you can't pay they can live, let the ones you don't need . . . they can make the money". He said if you had to fewer people. 94.9 Todd stated that the wage increases have bee years and have averaged 10%. 94.10 The recorded vote on the amendment was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Nays: None. The mayor declared the motion passed. 94.11 The mayor then called for a vote on the motion authorizing the city manager to correspond with the Wage and Price Stabilization Board concerning the requested wage increase, as amended. The vote was: Ayes: Colwell, Henry, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Osborne, Malone. Nays: None. The mayor declared the motion passed. people a decent wage where work for someone else so cut projects, you would need n above par for the last five Noland, Osborne, Malone. 1 1 1 6-19-'79 PLANNING FEES Director Todd acknowledged the memo in the agenda from Inspection Superintendent Harold Lieberenz on fees analysis for the Planning Office. The Board -instructed David McWethy to include this as an agenda item for the next meeting. 95 95.1 STOP LIGHT REQUEST David McWethy asked the Board if they would like to take any action on the request for a "mechanical stop sign" at Highway 71 South and Highway 71 95'2 Bypass submitted by area residents. Following a short discussion, Mayor Malone moved to forward the request 95.3 Q) to the highway department and ask them to look into the possibilities. Director 0 Noland seconded the motion.
