EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AWARDS
Mayor Todd made presentations to five "Employees of the Month" for the
month of June. Each received a check for $100 and a certificate. Mayor Todd
read the following comments about each employee.
Vivian Koettel is the City Clerk in the Finance Department. She has worked
for the City for a period of ten months. Her mayor duties consist of transcribing
minutes for the Board of Director's meetings, maintaining city records, assisting
the public in obtaining information, and also performing as secretary to the
Finance Director.
Lisa Mims has worked for the City for four years and one month. She began
as a Clerk I in the Business Office of the Finance Department, and was promoted
to her current position of Accounts Receivable -Payable Clerk because of the excellent
job she did and her willingness to improve. When Lisa took over the Accounts
Receivable -Payable Clerk position, many of the duties were far behind and Lisa
willingly worked these duties up by putting in both extra time and effort. Lisa
has done an excellent job in both positions she has filled at the City.
James Mounce is a general maintenance man in the Public Works Department.
He ha n eoyed by the City for six years and three months. Mr. Mounce
was originally employed under the CETA program, and has been transferred from
one department to the other due to changes in the CETA program. Throughout
these transfers he has kept a positive attitude and made contributions to every
crew project he has been assigned. James' supervisor states that James has been
an excellent addition to the Street Department and does any and all tasks assigned
with a good attitude.
Gary L. Shreve is a process controller for the Water and Sewer Department.
He has been employed by the City for six years. Gary developed a very successful
process control program which has been implemented for use. He has also implemented
a slide staining procedure which enables the department to more easily locate and
identify filamentous micro-organism. Alto, Gary has assumed responsibility for
operator training and is willingly available nights or weekends to assist them
with any questions or problems.
Carlson S. (Buck) Turneris groundskeeper in the Parks Department. He has
worked for the City for twenty eight years. He began with the Sanitation Department
in 1953 After working therefor 11 years he transferred to the Street Department
for five years, and began working as groundskeeper when the Buildings and Grounds
Department was established. Buck is responsible for mowing, maintenance, and cleanup.

SALES TAX
214-1 Director Osborne gave a report of the Board Finance Committee meeting regarding
spending priorities for the revenues from the proposed one cent city -county sales
tax. (Recommendation attached)
214-2 Mayor Todd called for comments from the audience and Mr. Tom Lavendar
addressed the Board. He requested that part of the revenue from the sales tax
be pledged toward an ambulance service. He stated that since the citizens of
Fayetteville would be using the ambulance service, he felt that Fayetteville should
contribute toward the cost of the service. Mr. Lavendar advised the Board that
the County had pledged 25% of the revenue it would receive from the sales tax toward
this cause.
214-3 Mayor Todd stated that it was his understanding that 25% of the County's
revenue from the tax ($300,000) would be enough to fund the ambulance service.
214-4 Upon further discussion, it was pointed out by the Board that the City is
actually sacrificing revenue by going with a county -city sales tax instead of
a city sales tax, and that they feel the City is doing their part or more.
214-5 Mayor Todd asked the Board if there was a motion to pledge part of the
revenue to the ambulance service, and no such motion was received.
214-6 Mr. David Lashley of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board asked the
Board if they would consider leaving the 15% pledged to Parks & Recreation in that
department after the new swimming pool project was completed, instead of transferring
it to Streets and Public Safety.
214-7 Upon discussion, Director Osborne, seconded by Todd, moved that the recommendation
he amended to reflect that the Parks & Recreation money remain in that department
after the pool project instead of being transferred to Public Safety and Streets.
Upon roll call the motion passed by a 5-1 vote, with Director Lancaster voting in
the minority.iII/214-3 CityyAt
torney McCord pointed out that these pledges could not be bound upon
any future board.
214-9 There being no further discussion, Director Lancaster, seconded by Henry,
moved that the recommendation as amended be approved. Upon roll call the motion
passed unanimously.
214-10 City Attorney McCord advised the Board that he had consulted with Jim
Butrey by phone, and that they were of the opinion that sales tax revenues could
legally be used to pay off revenue bonds issued by the Public Facilities Board
to construct improvements to the Fayetteville City Hospital, but that any pledge
would have to be on an annual basis and that the bond documents would have to reflect
that the pledge was subject to an annual appropriation by the City Board. This
would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the bonds to be sold on the open
market. However, if the bonds were placed through the cooperation of local
financial institutions, this could be a feasible project.
SIDEWALK WAIVER/HWY 264 N & HWY 45 E
214-11 Mayor Todd introduced a request by Mr. John W. Purtle for a waiver of the
Master Sidewalk Plan requirements, for property located at the southeast corner
of the intersection of Highway 265 North and Highway 45 East.
214-12 Mr. Ervan Wimberly, representing Mr. Purtle, told the Board that Mr. Purtle
was not actually requesting a waiver, but only a postponement of making the
improvements. He stated that Mr. Purtle would be willing to enter into a bill
of assurance running with the land, stating that the improvements would be made
upon demand from the City, and at a location specified by the City.
214-13 Mr. Wimberly explained that conforming to the Master Sidewalk Plan would be
difficult because of a drainage ditch which was rerouted and occupies the part
of the property where the sidewalk should go.

Recommendation passed by the Board Finance Committee on June 24; subject to confirmation by
the City Board on July 7:
If the city -county sales tax passes on July 23 the City Board will commit, for at least two years,
that the revenues will be spent on the categories and programs listed below, in the approximate
respective percentages:
PUBLIC SAFETY
Additional police and fire personnel and equipment
STREETS
New street construction, paving of unpaved streets, street maintenance,
sidewalk installation and additional streetlights
PARKS & RECREATION
Funding for a new swimming pool at Wilson Park and city-wide park
land acquisition, maintenance, operations, and equipment
CITY HOSPITAL
Funding for a revenue bond issue for City Hospital renovation and
expansion
CITY HALL
Renovation and remodeling of the present City Administration Building
ARTS CENTER 4%
Funding to establish a Performing Arts Center
OTHER PROJECTS - 16%
Additional potential projects of public benefit needed in the next two
years including city library support, salary adjustments, public
transit, and supplemental payments on new sewage treatment plant
to reduce the amount of monthly sewer bill increases
*When the swimming pool is completed this portion will be
allocated to the Public Safety and Street categories
"When the City Hall renovation is completed this portion
will be allocated to the Public Safety and Street categories
It is our intention to spend the City's share of revenues generated as stated above. However,
we ask the public to please understand that the City must have some flexibility because of the
following:
---Uncertainty of the final cost of the sewage treatment alternative' selected, as
well as the cost of some of the stated priority projects;
- --Uncertainty of the status of Revenue Sharing funds (money sent to the city by
the federal government) and Turnback funds (money sent to the city by the
state government); and
2c
20%
15%

- --Uncertainty about the exact amount the city will receive in sales rax revenues.
The Board has reaffirmed, however, that the City will cancel the occupation license tax and 1%
of the utility franchise tax for residential and commercial accounts if the city -county sales tax
passes.

City Board of Directors

that we could not imagine that by now such a small total area would be
signed up. Who could believe that people would rather let their homes
burn than pay a part of the cost of their neighbor who wouldn't sign up?
We did not realize that endangered lives would be such a potential problem
because we were confident that there would be so few unprotected houses.
But 20/20 hindsight is easy. The fact remains that it is only a matter
of time --whether days or months --before the Fire Department dispatcher,
shift captain, or chief must decide "do I let someone die or do I knowingly
back the Board into a corner by violating the policy the Directors set?"
To avoid this confrontation, therefore, I propose that the Board
consider amending its policy on outside -city fire service along the
following lines:
While realizing the city's direct and basic
obligation to the taxpaying residents of
Fayetteville, we nevertheless recognize
a higher, humanitarian duty to protect the
lives of our fellow human beings who do
not live in the city.
As a consequence, while reaffirming the
Board's policy that the Fayetteville Fire
Department will not protect against the loss
of outside -city property or material possessions
except where such is covered with a rural fire
contract, the Fire Department may take what-
ever steps deemed appropriate by the Fire Chief
or his designee when lives are, or appear to be,
in jeopardy.
This latitude specifically includes the right to
make outside -city runs to property not under
contract to save lives, or to coordinate with
other fire departments for this purpose.
The Board expects, however, that once the Fire
Department has rescued the lives in jeopardy,
or has determined that no lives are at risk, the
firefighters will take no further steps to protect
against the loss of structures, property, or
j material possessions, but will immediately leave.
Two other modifications of less consequence are also presented here
for your consideration:
Proposed rate formula for outside -city, non-residential land uses:
Value of property' X .1% X Fire rating2 = Yearly fee
Where:
'Value of property is determined by county
tax records (5 times assessed value) or
insurance coverage; and
2Rating by Fire Department that takes into
account the likelihood that a structure will
catch fire and,the difficulty in extinguishing
it:
1. Little likelihood of fire. If fire
starts, can quickly be put out.
Example: 7-11 Store
2. Some danger of fire, but can be put
out by two trucks if reached in
time. Example: Auto garage
3. Significant danger of fire. Will
require immediate response of
Department to contain it and
substantial number of trucks &
personnel. Example: Handle
factory
EXAMPLES:
1. Quick -service grocery store with as assessed value of $60,000:
$60,000 X 5 X .1% X 1 = $300 per year
2. Lumber company with an assessed value of $150,000:
$150,000 X 5 X . 1% X 3 = $2,250 per year
3. Nursery with an assessed value of $20,000:
$20,000 X 5 X .1% X 1 = $100

REZONING APPEAL/W HAPPY HOLLOW ROAD
Mayor Todd introduced an appeal of a decision by the Planning Commission 215-3
regarding rezoning petition R81-9. He explained that the appeal had been filed
one day late, and the Board would need to vote on whether or not to hear the
appeal.
City Attorney McCord stated he had spoken with the petitioner's attorney 215-4
and was informed that the reason the appeal was received one day late was due to
the attorney being in court all day on the 23rd of June, the deadline for filing
the appeal.
Director Henry, seconded by Sharp, moved that the Board hear the appeal. 215-5
Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Todd stated that the petitioner had requested that this item be tabled 215-6
until the next meeting.
Director Sharp, seconded by Henry, moved that the item be tabled until the 215-7
next meeting. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
SWIMMING POOL GRANT
Mr. David Lashley of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board addressed the 215-8
Board. He explained that the grant application for a pool at Wilson Park had
been prepared in a rush because of a filing deadline, but that the Parks &
Recreation Board was requesting approval of the grant application. He pointed out
that the pool committee is continuing to study possibilities for the pool at Wilson
Park.
Ms. Beverly Melton, a member of the committee, told the Board that the committee 215-9
has reviewed the Master Plan for a new swimming complex at Wilson Park and still
feels the overall idea is good, and would be good for future years. However, she
stated that at the present time, a swimming pool is the first and top priority.
Director Henry, seconded by Sharp, moved that the grant application asking 215-10
for $200,000 in federal funds against a local share of $477,000 be approved. Upon
roll call the motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 65-81 APPEARS ON PAGE_3 (12.5 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK )1
FIRE I
Mayor Todd stated that the Police and Fire Committee had referred ttefollowing
questions to the Board without a recommendation:
1. Whether outside -city fire service will be offered on a per household
basis under any circumstances,
2. If so, what the per household fee will be; and,
3. Whether such service will be restricted to property outside an
unincorporated area, that is, excluding anything inside the City of
Greenland.
Director Osborne, stated he was in favor of offering this service on a per
household basis because it would be fair to the City and would offer protection
to more persons.

21E;
216-1 Director Lancaster explained that the Police and Fire Committee did not make
a recommendation on this because the full City Board had originally voted not to
offer fire service outside the City on a per household basis, and only two
board members who are on the Police and Fire Committee were at the meeting.
216-2 Director Osborne stated he would support this concept as long as it does
not affect Fayetteville's fire rating and the property owners are paying for the
service.
216-3 Mayor Todd stated he felt each house to be covered under a fire contract should
be approved by the Fire Chief.
216-4 Director Osborne, seconded by Henry, moved that the Fire Chief and administration
establish a procedure for contracting for outside the city fire service on a per
household basis at a price of $190 per year. Upon roll call the motion passed
unanimously.
216-5 Director Lancaster stated that he did not feel Fayetteville should go
inside any incorporated City to provide fire service unless invited to do so by
that City's governing body.
216-6 Director Todd agreed.
216-7 Mr. Grimes stated that it was possible that correspondence on this matter was
forthcoming from the City of Greenland.
216-8 Director Noland, seconded by Henry, moved that if written authorization is
received from the City of Greenland, then Fayetteville Fire Department would be
authorized to provide the service to residents of that City,}EL.
FIRE II
216-9 Mayor Todd stated outside -city fire service was terminated an June 1,
except to properties under fire service contracts with the City. The Police & Fire
Committee had met and recommended that the attached policy amendment be approved.
(Amendment attached)
216-10 After a brief discussion, Director Henry, Seconded by Sharp, moved the
amendment be approved. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
FIRE III
216-11 Mayor Todd stated that earlier this year the Board established a per year
st.andby fee of $95 per household for rural properties under a neighborhood fire
contract. Additional charges would be levied if actual fire runs were made.
However, no provision was made for an outside -city commercial industrial or
institutional rate.
216-12 A recommendation from the City Manager (attached) that a rate formula be
adopted for outside nonresidential standby fire service which takes into account
property value, the likelihood of fire, and the difficulty in extinguishing
it, was presented to the Police and Fire Committee with their recommendation.
216-13 Director Osborne suggested that the assessed value not be used, but that
the insured amount be used instead.
216-14 Assistant City Manager McWethy stated it had been suggested that a minimum
amount of $200 be established, since the per household rate is $190.
216-15 Director Osborne, seconded by Sharp, moved that the recommendation be approved
and the insured value be used. If no insured value was available, then the
appraised value would be used. The minimum amount to be charged is $200.00.
216-16 Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
216-17 City Manager Grimes presented a letter from Greenland Head Start requesting
free fire protection. After discussion, it was the concensus of the Board that
everyone must pay for the outside -city service, including both schools and churches.
PROPERTY SALE/LAKE SEQUOYAH
216-18 Mayor Todd introduced a request for authorization to advertise for bids
for the sale of a city owned house on Lake Sequoyah.

Director Sharp stated that this acreage touches a City Park, and he would
like a recommendation from the Parks & Recreation committee on their future
needs before the property is sold.
Sturman Mackey advised that a 60 day notice was required, and the lease
expires on September 21, 1981. He explained that the lease is a one year lease.
City Attorney McCord stated that notice to terminate the annual lease could
be given, and the lease then extended on a month to month basis.
Director Osborne, seconded by Henry, moved the annual lease be terminated
and extended on a month to month basis, and that the request to advertise for
bids be tabled until a recommendation was received from the Parks & Recreation
Board.
CBID ADDITION
0 City Attorney McCord explained that the CBID was formed about one year ago
for the purpose of providing financing to developers of a retail mall on the
south side of the square and other property owners are requesting to be annexed to
this improvement district to obtain financing for commercial development on the
7 east side of the square. McCord pointed out there will be no assessments levied
Q in connection with the original territory or the property annexation.
Q Mayor Todd called a public hearing to session to determine if the petition 217-6
for annexation had been signed by two thirds of the assessed value of property
owners within the territory proposed for annexation. No comments were received
from the audience or board on the sufficiency of the petition, and Mayor Todd
declared the hearing closed.

EASEMENT ABANDONMENT
City Attorney McCord read an ordinance abandoning and vacating a utility
easement east of the CEC for the third and final time. The ordinance was
read twice at the previous meeting.
Mr. Grimes explained that the City paid $5200 to the hospital auxiliary
for the entire original easement, and now the City is being asked to vacate
about half of the easement. He stated it would appear the City should ask to
be reimbursed for about $2000. However, upon discussion, it was decided by
the Board and Mr. Grimes not to request reimbursement because all of the money
of the auxiliary is channeled directly back into the hospital funds.
Mayor Todd called for a vote on the ordinance which passed unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO. 2734 APPEARS ON PAGE /1 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK X//
AIRPORT DISPLAYS

was determined that the case should be shortened and narrowed.

David Lashley of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board addressed the Board.
He stated that bids for Walker Park were lower than had been expected, and that
Parks & Recreation would like to be considered for that money when it was distributed.
He explained that more soccer fields are needed, and this area would be an adequate
one for a soccer complex.
Mr. Lashley asked for Board permission to clear enough of the brush to make
a survey and develop a plan to be presented for consideration. He stated that the
Seabees would do a considerable amount of the work.
Upon further discussion, Director Osborne, seconded by Noland, moved that the
Parks & Recreation Board be authorized to pursue the idea of a soccer complex
as discussed, and that the underbid amount of money on the Walker Park project be
reserved for Parks & Recreation, assuming it qualified under the CD guidelines.
Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Grimes explained to Mr. Lashley that City street equipment would be tied
up and would not be available for the Seabees to use. Mr. Lashley stated that
this equipment could be found from another source.
FB0 BID AWARD
Director Lancaster stated it was the recommendation of the Airport Committee
to award the Drake Field Airport Fixed Base Operation and attendant lease agree-
ments to Fayetteville Flying Service, a division of Skyways.
Director Lancaster, seconded by Noland, moved the award of the bid.
Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously, with Henry absent upon roll call.
PARKING DECK
City Attorney McCord stated that he was recommending that the bids received
for the parking deck be rejected and readvertised. He stated it was his opinion
the bid specifications were violative of the competitive bid statute. McCord
explained that Mr. McAllister, representative of Brennon-Boyd (the only alternate
bidder) disagreed with that opinion.
Mr. McAllister addressed the Board and stated he was not in agreement with
McCord, and did not feel the bids should be readvertised.
After discussion, Director Noland, seconded by Osborne moved that the bids be
rejected and the bids readvertised under terms worked out by the City Attorney
and the architect.
Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
INSURANCE
Mayor Todd explained that the following were recommendations made by Dr.
Bob Hall on the City insurance:
1. Use the all-risk peril
2. Use $1,000 deductible on buildings and contents, except glass and computer
(these would be $250 deductible)
3. Add coverage on boiler machinery
McKinney Agency was the low bidder, the company Northwestern National, at
an all risk premi.wm of $10,223 plus $745.00 for coverage on air conditioners, 5 ton
or more, and electrical switch gears
Director Osborne, seconded by Henry, moved that the bid be awarded to
McKinney Agency and the above recommendations approved. Upon roll call the motion
passed unanimously.
METAL PIPE
Purchasing Agent Mackey recommended that the award of corrugated metal pipe
and fittings for the Rosemont Drainage Project go to Armco of Little Rock for
$12,331.85.
Director Osborne, seconded by Lancaster, moved the bid be awarded as recommended.
