He stated that the Water and Sewer Committee had asked the City Attorney to prepare a resolution incorporating the Water and Sewer Committee's recommendation. The City Attorney read the resolution. 171.2 Director Noland, seconded by Lancaster, moved that the resolution be 171.3 adopted. Mayor Todd called for discussion fromthe audience. 171.4 Mr. Frank Delmonaco of Chester addressed the Board. He told the Board 171.5 that Clear Creek runs through Mountainburg and the Howard Branch runs through Mountainburg. Mr. Delmonaco told the Board that he had spoken with the Mayor of Chester and was informed that there would be an injunction against the City O of Fayetteville if the City did decide to transport their effluent into 01 Howard Branch. He stated that he had also spoken with the Mayor of Mountainburg and had been informed that Mountainburg would do the same. 171.6 Mr. Clovis Bryant, Senator of the 8th District of Arkansas, addressed the Board. He stated that he was present in opposition to the Clear Creek proposal. He stated that it would cost more to use Clear Creek than the first Q proposal to use Lee Creek. He said that the only reason he could understand for this change was in order to lose Fort Smith opposition. However, he stated that there would be just as much opposition to Clear Creek. Mr. Bryant read a resolution passed by the City Council of Alma expressing their opposition. Mr. Bryant stated that he had talked with Mayor Gene Bell of Van Buren, and that he had been authorized by Mr. Bell to state that his opposition was just as great to Clear Creek as it was to Lee Creek, and that the City of Van Buren will assist in any way possible to prevent the pollution of Clear Creek. Representative Ed Thicksten of District #13 addressed the Board. He stated 171.7 that the people of Crawford County are very much in opposition to Fayetteville's plan. Mr. Thicksten asked the Board to look at some questions raised by some members of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). They stated that enough data had not been furnished. Mr. Thicksten stated that the Board should concern themselves with .what these people think. Director Noland pointed out to Mr. Thicksten that the information he was 171.8 discussing did not come from the full committee, but only a portion of the members on the committee. Mr. Leslie Mack addressed the Board members and told them that he was 171.9 sympathetic with their problem. He stated that he felt the Board should go with their second alternative, that of upgrading the existing treatment plant on White River. 171.10 Director Noland read from an April, 1981 report from the environmental consultant, Comprehensive Planning Institute in Dallas. The report stated, "With regard to a discharge site alternative, the City should select the Arkansas River alternative. This is the only real choice the City has as far as the environmental impacts are concerned." Representative Bill Ramsey from Prairie Grove addressed the Board. He 171.11 stated that he felt with the existing state laws, it would be impossible for Fayetteville to go with the proposed alternative because of the ten mile limi- tation. He stated that he was opposed to Lee Creek and is also opposed to Clear Creek. He told the Board he would be in favor of upgrading the existing treatment plant on the White River. 171.12 Mr. Herb Krei of Prairie Grove told the Board he was representing the Illinois River PropertyCWners Association. He stated that he wanted to commend the CAC for their work, but that he would like for the Board to seriously consider the White River alternative rather than the Arkansas River. 171 13 Patrick Hoyt of Fort Smith addressed the Board and stated that he supported the White River Alternative. He stated that the proposed sewage effluent discharge would prevent future use of the lower Lee Creek as a potential water supply to the growing towns and cities below Winslow, Arkansas. 5-5-81 172 172.1 Marion Orton addressed the Board. She stated that in order to protect the water supply, a Beaver Water Management Plan needed to be adopted immediately. Also, that an extension of time should be requested from EPA. Ms. Orton also pointed out that the possibility of obtaining right-of-ways to the Arkansas River needs to be settled. 172.2 Mark Clark of the University of Arkansas addressed the Board. He stated that he is a Research Assistant in the Agronomy Department. Mr. Clark stated that he felt the Board should look at the possibility of utilizing municipal waste for crop production. He stated that wastewater can be tertiary treated and used for irrigation purposes. 172.3 Mr. Gerald Price, property owner along the Clear Creek, addressed the Board. He stated that the issue is one of 'what kind of neighbors are we.' He stated that northwest Arkansas has grown and prospered because the citizens have worked together. He told the Board that the alternative proposed by the City of Fayetteville is not very neighborly. 172.4 Mr. Gary Fields of Crawford County presented some petitions to Mayor Todd opposing the resolution proposed by the Board. He stated the only reasonable solution would be for Fayetteville to develop their own wastewater and sewage treatment facility. 172.5 Director Bumpass read a letter from the Arkansas State Department of Health The letter stated that after a review of the alternatives, the consensus of the reviewers was that the first priority of alternatives would be to discharge into the Arkansas River, the second priority would be to discharge into the Illinois River, which would very likely necessitate the City of Siloam Springs to seek a new water source. The third priority would be to discharge into Beaver Lake which could very likely present public health problems in the quality of water in the public water supply furnished by the Beaver Water District. 172.6 The letter from the Arkansas State Department of Health stated that it was recommended that an investigation be made of routing the effluent line to a point near Winslow, at the head water of Clear Creek. 172.7 Mr. Bumpass stated that he would rely on this letter in making his decision. 172.8 The Mayor of Alma addressed the Board. He stated that he was in agree- ment that the alternative being proposed would create less problems for Fort Smith and Van Buren, but would create problems for Alma, Chester, and Mountainburg. 172.9 Mr. Roger Millstead of Rudy addressed the Board. He stated that he had moved to Arkansas and had selected the location of his home partly because of the Clear Creek. He stated the residents of Rudy are prepared to circulate a petition opposing this if the resolution passes. 172.10 Mr. Jack Carney of Rudy also addressed the Board and expressed opposition to Clear Creek proposal. 172.11 Director Henry stated that she felt she should explain her vote before she voted. She stated that she has struggled with this decision for along while. She stated that even though a lot of studies have been done on this, she does not think that you can ignore common sense. She stated that the City of Fayetteville has ethical responsibilities to deal with their own waste. She told the Board and the audience that she understands that the Beaver Reservior is the drinking water for 200,000 people, but that any nation that can put a man on the moon can surely develop a technology of making it satisfactory to put sewage into a river. 172.12 Director Henry stated that she is concerned about the Beaver Water District, but that she is just as concerned about the people who sit on the lake with leaky septic tanks and farmers who put their pesticides into the water. 172.13 Director Henry stated she felt valuable time would be wasted in pursuing the Arkansas River Alternative because of the litigations that would be filed, and for this reason she could not vote for the resolution. 1 1 5-5-81 173 Director Sharp stated that he had discussed this subject with a lot of 173.1 different people for long periods of times. He stated that he had to make his decision based upon the fact that the consultant says that the City has no choice. Mr. Mike Mashburn addressed the Board. He stated that just because a report says something does not mean that any other decision cannot be made. He stated that the Board owes it to the citizens of Fayetteville and to Washington County to treat its wastewater to the highest and best level that technology will allow. Director Osborne stated that he has a lot of trouble supporting the proposal of the Arkansas River, and that his gut feeling was that the City would be better to keep it in their watershed and go with the White River. However, he stated he did not think he would vote that way. He pointed out that many people did not understand that raw sewage would not be dumped into the river. Director Osborne stated that he could not help but consider the statement by the consultants stating that the only real choice the City has is to go with the Arkansas River alternative. Director Noland stated that a preliminary decision had to be made tonight, but the last date to change this decision would be in August in order to comply with the established time table. City Attorney McCord pointed out that the first alternative is the Arkansas River, and does not make a commitment that sewage should be disposed of in Clear Creek, as opposed to being piped all the way to the Arkansas River. After further discussion, Director Henry suggested that perhaps a time period should be set for getting all the necessary work done for the Arkansas River alternative, and if things could not be accomplished by that date move on to alternative number two, the White River. Mayor Todd replied that the deadline was set by EPA. After further discussion, Mayor Todd called for a vote on the resolution, which passed by a 6-1 vote, with Director Henry voting in the minority.

The change requested was from R-1 "Low Density Residential" to C-2 "Thoroughfare Commercial." The Board of Directors had heard an appeal of a Planning Commission denial on August 19, 1980, and voted to uphold the denial by a vote of 6-1. Since that time representatives of the petitioners have reportedly negotiated a satisfactory agreement with the Historic District Commission on the proposed use of the land, and, in exchange for a favorable zoning decision, have offered to enter into a Bill of Assurance to this affect.

ORDINANCE N0. 2720 APPEARS ON PAGE 2.5 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK X % BALLFIELD REQUEST Mayor Todd introduced a request by the Fayetteville Babe Ruth Association and the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board for funding for parking, traffic control, and other capital improvements for the Babe Ruth ballfield in the Industrial Park. Mr. W. P. Waite of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board addressed the Board. He explained that the Babe Ruth Association had come to the Parks and Recreation Board and asked for some assistance in upgrading the facilities at Industrial Park. He stated that most of the funds of Parks and Recreation are already committed to finishing on-going projects. Therefore, Georgia Haridopolos, President of the Senior Babe Ruth Association was appealing to the Board for some help in getting improvements made to the ballfield. Ms. Haridopolos addressed the Board and briefly explained the Babe Ruth program. She stated that in July of this year the state tournament for the older Babe Ruth teams would be held in Fayetteville. Ms. Haridopolos presented a sketch of the ballfield as it would look after proposed improvements were made. Ms. Haridopolos stated that if the work was completely contracted out for the grading work on both lots #1 and #2, it would total $25,350. If the labor was provided by the City and gravel was used, the total cost for the grading of the two lots would be $8,445. The cost of fencing would be $1,200 (labor by Parks Department), the cost of trees transplanted from Walker Park would be $1,000, and eight picnic tables would be $300 each. The total cost of these items would be $13,045 if the work on grading the lots was done by City crews, and $29,950 if contracted out. George Blackwell, a member of the audience, asked if any roads would be blocked with the fencing being discussed and was assured that no public roads would be blocked. Director Osborne asked if this was the recommendation of the parks board and was advised that it was. Director Henry pointed out that she felt Ms. Haridopolos has done an outstanding job in working for the Babe Ruth Association, and that without volunteers such as Ms. Haridopolos, the Babe Ruth Assocation would not exist. Director Osborne asked City Manager Grimes if the City crews could perform the work being discussed. Mr. Grimes stated that the work was being done in phases, and that the work was definitely needed. He suggested that work be started by the City crews and hope that it could be completed by the tournament in July. Director Bumpass stated that if the City made a significant contribution toward the $13,045 cash outlay needed, then Ms. Haridopolos probably could raise the remainder needed from local businesses. Director Bumpass, seconded by Henry, moved that the total amount remaining in the 1978 G.O. Bond Construction Fund (approximately $9,000) be spent for the work reqeusted, and that City crews do as much of the work as possible. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. 1 1 5-5-81 NAMING BALLFIELDS Mr. Waite addressed the Board and stated that the Parks Board was requesting approval by the City Board of Directors fields at industrial park after Jim Gibson and Orby McClellan Director Osborne, seconded by Henry, moved that the fiel road would be named for Orby McClelland, and the other would Jim Gibson.

The change requested was from R-1 "Low Density Residentthal" to C-2 "Thoroughfare Commercial." The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning.

Director Sharp stated that he disagreed with the Planning Commission becausel75.12 he feels that that particular piece of property would be anatural buffer between single family and commercial. He suggested that perhaps an R-0 zoning might be more appropriate. 175.13 Director Sharp, seconded by Henry, moved that the ordinance be amended to change the R-1 to R-0. After further discussion concerning where the C-2 property began, Director 175.14 Noland, seconded by Osborne, moved that the item be tabled until the next meeting where the zoning map would be readily accessible.

LEWIS BROTHERS PLANTER 176.11 Ms. Lewis addressed the Board, concerning the decision of the Board to postpone the work to be performed on the planter in front of the Lewis Building until November. She stated that the basement wall is slowly washing away with all the rains, and that the sooner the work is completed the better. 176.12 Director Osborne stated that this matter had been discussed at the Finance Committee Meeting, and that he felt the Board should discuss the possibility of having a professional engineer examine the planter and determine whose fault it is that the planter is leaking. 176.13 Director Osborne moved that McWethy and/or Grimes contact an engineer to negotiate a contract to determine exactly why water is seeping through the basement of the Lewis Brothers Building, and in as far as is possible determine whether there is a defect in the design or construction of the planter. The motion died for lack of a second. 176.14 Director Lancaster, seconded by Todd, moved that the drain be plugged in the planter, and see if the water ceases to enter the basement. 176.15 Ms. Lewis pointed out that when the planter was flooded to see if water entered the basement, this would kill the roses. 176.16 Assistant City Manager McWethy expressed a concern about this test working properly unless the soil was allowed to dry out completely. 176.17 Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously with Director Bumpass absent upon roll call. 176.18 Director Noland stated that he felt like this would not solve the problem, and that this matter would be before the Board again.

The site must be specified. He recommended that the beautification funds and the funds for the unspecified park be placed in the contingencies category. At some later time, the Board may pull these funds for any eligible item. He also pointed out that the Street Committee would need to meet to specify sidewalks for the CD program. McWethy stated that there were also some eligibility problems with 177.8 the Asbell gym and with Washington Mountain. He suggested taking those funds and reprogramming them for some item that is eligible (such as streets) and amend the program so it could be approved.
