PRESENT: Mayor Noland, Directors Johnson, Lancaster, City Manager Grimes, Assistant City Manager McWethy, Clerk Kelly; members of the press and audience. ABSENT: Director Bumpass of Fayetteville was held nuing Education Center, 381 381.1 Osborne, Orton, and Sharp; 381.2 City Attorney McCord, City • CALL TO ORDER Mayor Noland called the meeting to order and asked for a moment of respect- 381.3 ful silence. LAND APPLICATION Mr. Charles Pound, Regional Vice President, Metcalf & Eddy, Inc., Consulting 381.4 Engineers, made a presentation to the Board of the results of their study on the land treatment of municipal wastewater for the City. He stated that land appli- cation can be a cost effective alternative to use of advance wastewater treat- ment plants but would require a high degree of farmer participation. Land treatment would yield a zero direct discharge to either or both of the White or Illinois Rivers. The study concluded that 75% of the flow would be applied in the west (Illinois River basin), and 25% would be applied in the east (White River basin). He stated that secondary treatment effluent, when applied to dairy or pasture land, would be disinfected, to comply with State Health. Department requirements. Mr. Pound stated that the key to the system would be management by a third party, separate and distinct from the City and the farming community. This entity would work with the farmers to schedule the water application, where the pipelines would be installed, how to overcome the problem with fences, and the scheduling of cultivating and harvesting activities, cattle moving, mowing, baling, etc. There would be no cost to the farmer for water or equipment. He added that once the rate of application is determined, it will be fixed as such. He stated the Health Department would not permit the use of this water on food crops for human consumption. It would be limited to use on feed, seed or fibre crops. With regard to limitations in placing the water on land, Mr. Pound stated that this study had used 200 feet for a buffer zone between the application of water and road and farm ponds, and 400 feet as a buffer zone between the appli- cation of water and buildings. With regard to the possible land being considered on the east side, Mr. Pound stated that only 800 acres of the 1400 acres identified as useable could be irrigated because of the set back requirements. He added that the tentative Two Phase layout of the Plan would be as follows: On the east side (White River) the water will be treated at the existing treatment plant, then discharged to a storage reservoir, and then from the storage reservoir to a series of pipelines, to the application sites. On the west side (Illinois River) he proposed aereated lagoons to be constructed to provide the secondary treatment of sewage and from there the wastewater would be pumped into a storage reservoir and from there would be distributed to the irrigation system. 381.5 381 .6 382 Mr. Pound stated that approximately $38.4 million would be needed for capital costs (sewer improvements, treatment plants, reservoirs, 382.1 pumping system/irrigation system, contingencies, and land costs), based on 1981 dollars. The comparison being $37.1 million for the advance wastewater system, and $38.4 million for the land treatment system. Mr. Pound outlined two phases of funding which could be utilized 382.2 in conjunction with grant monies. In Phase I, the construction of the west side system would take place. If funding were available, the local share would be $7.2 million; if no funding were available, the local share would be $13.8 million. He added that since this type of system is con- sidered Innovative Alternative Technology, it would be subject to a 10% bonus -premium in the grant, so that 85% funding is a possibility for the portion pertaining to cost of reservoirs, pipelines in the irrigation system and irrigation equipment. The portion pertaining to lagoons, the pipes leading to the lagoons, and the pumping stations would be subject to 75% grant funding. He added that if the grant has not been offered and accepted by the City by October 1, 1984, the grant automatically drops from 75% to 55%. The State has until September 30, 1985 to make this money available; if it is not utilized by the City, it can then be diverted to someone else, or back to the Federal government. Therefore the City needs to have a project underway by October, 1984. 382.3 With regard to farmer benefit in participation, he stated that there would be an increase in pasture yields (the irrigation would produce from 1 1/2 to 3 tons per acre per year more than previously produced), and he stated that hay, particularly, could be improved from 3-4 tons per acre per year to 6 tons per acre per year. He stated that because of the nature of the wastewater, there would be reduced fertilizer costs (from $40.61 to $4.21 per acre per year), and reduced lime costs, and he stated that if livestock were raised on the land, there would be a benefit of $36 per acre per year, and hay would yield somewhere between $60 to $92 per acre per year. He also spoke of the added flexibility to farmers by increasing crop options. 382.4 The initial application rate would be 29 inches of water per year, and if the farmer group were not expanded, it would gradually increase to 49.5 inches of water per year, over 20 years of life. 382.5 In conclusion he stated that if the City should elect to adopt land treatment, the following criteria should be implemented: (1) Institutional studies should be conducted to evaluate, define and characterize the third party management to benefit the City as the wastewater disposal entity and benefit the farmer as a contributor to the economic aspects of their farming operation. This organization should be comprised of members from both groups, and should be undertaken as early as possible in February; (2) Initiate a series of educational meetings with the farmers; (3) Set up a demonstration system. This would consist of a single irrigation rig, which the farmers could view and ascertain the benefit of land application to their land; and (4) A field report would be prepared for the State and would be done toward the beginning of May. At this point the Plans and Specifications could be prepared and the first grant application and Plans and Specifications could be submitted by October -November, 1983. 1 1 Mr. Pound stated that the net irrigated acreage for the total project, over a 20 -year period, would be 3200 acres. They would utilize 800 acres east- 383 side (White River), and 2400 westside (Illinois River). He stated that two 383.1 types of terrain had been looked at -- rolling valley floor and hillside. Wood- land irrigation had been discounted because it was too expensive. He added that approximately 55 acres would be utilized for holding ponds during the winter months, which would hold 90 days of storage on the west and an equivalent amount on the east. Certain sites would be preferred for the reservoirs but nothing specific has been determined. The State would monitor the reservoirs, which would be lined with clay with special compaction arrangements at the bottom to limit the amount of leakage. The location of the reservoirs would be in the county, rather than city limits, preferably in the area of the irrigation system so that it would be conveniently pumped directly into the pipeline system. CO Mayor Noland suggested that the Board might wish to have a proposal of CO the financial estimate involved with the implementation schedule outlined by Mr. Pound, and may wish to consider it at the meeting of the Board on February N 1st. 0 CO Director Johnson, seconded by Director Sharp, made a motion to instruct Q Mr. Pound to prepare a proposal and financial estimate of these items. 383.3 Director Orton stated that the Board was prepared to hear another proposal from another firm on February 15th, and Mayor Noland stated that all the alternatives needed to be explored, but he felt that the Board should know by February 15th if land application is a feasible alternative. 383.2 1 There being no further discussion, upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. SEWER RATES Prior to a presentation of a detailed analysis of the rate structure and discussion of implementation to be made by Mr. Joe Brown of Black & Veatch, City Attorney McCord stated that Arkansas law requires that the Board hold a public hearing on the proposed rate increase, and provide notice of that hearing, reflecting the proposed rate increase. This notice must be published at least ten days before the hearing. An ordinance could be introduced at this meeting but could not officially be acted upon until the public hearing is concluded. Mr. Brown stated that the Black & Veatch report recommends an average rate increase of 78% to be effective January 1, 1983, with increases for 1985 and 1987 of 80% and 50°%, respectively. His analysis projected over a five-year period, reviewed certain growth patterns, volume of sewage experienced at the sewage treatment plant, volumes of water used by customers, and customers who have high strengths in excess of those associated with domestic sources. The firm used information compiled from bill tabulations provided by City Staff for this analysis. In reaching the rate structures, Black & Veatch had gone through allocation procedures, computing the volumes anticipated in an average period, and the pounds of BOD, the pounds of suspended solids, and the number of customers, and determined a unit cost per each item. They then determined schedules of charges to recover from each of the parties in an equitable manner. Mr. Brown stated that the main concern, as he sees it, is the issuance of bonds in the future, in order to qualify for the federal grant in October, 1984. The City would have to show the ability to provide matching funds. The City must have enough net revenues so that they will be 1.3 times the maximum future debt service that would be paid on existing and proposed bonds. The average increase anticipated for minimum users is 110%; increases 383.4 383.5 383.6 383.7 383.8 383.9 384 384.1 mg -93 for median customers (residential), using 6,000 gallons per month would be 21.7%; customers using 40 million+ gallons per month would increase 135%, or approximately $29,000 per month. In discussion of a possible "Lifeline" rate, Mr. Brown stated that in some cases tax revenues were used to offset some of the bills for low income and elderly customers, but because some of the low income rental units were metered services billed to landlords, the result often was that the landlords passed the increase on to the tenants. Thus the people intended to be helped were often the ones least benefited. City Attorney McCord stated that he had drafted an ordinance which 384.2 incorporates the recommendations of Black & Veatch, as approved by the Water & Sewer Committee. Director Orton, seconded by Director Osborne, made a motion to introduce 384.3 the ordinance and set the public hearing, following published notice, for February 15, 1983. 384.4 There being no further discussion, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. SANITATION RATES 384.5 Mayor Noland introduced an ordinance amending the City Code by raising the sanitation charges for commercial establishments requiring bulk pick- up service or more frequent service. The ordinance would increase the fees for the bulk pick-up of cartons, crates, baskets, or other loose items, from 404 per minute to 504, and the per -can charge from 44d per can to 504, for commercial establishments requiring sanitation service more frequently than twice a week. 384.6 384.7 City Attorney McCord read the ordinance for the first time. Director Osborne, seconded by Director Lancaster, made a motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on second reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. The City Attorney read the ordinance for the second time.

Mayor Noland stated that the contract would run from April 15, 1983 until April 15, 1985, with an option to extend for an additional year. 384.9 384.10 Director Johnson, seconded by Mayor Noland, made a motion to authorize the execution of this resolution and contract with Sunray of Springdale, Inc In discussion, Director Orton questioned the disposal of hazardous 1 1 1 waste and City Manager Grimes stated that the generators of the waste are to contract with those who handle such waste, monitored by the State Department of Pollution Control & Ecology. Director Orton asked that Paragraph lA of the contract include the exception of hazardous waste. 385 385.1 Director Johnson agreed to amend the motion to include this provision. 385.2 Director Orton noted that the new fees would make disposal costs $5.62 385.3 per ton and City Manager Grimes stated that a survey taken by City Staff showed that Siloam Springs charges $7.20 per ton; Fort Smith $8.00 per ton, and Ferguson, Missouri $12.00 per ton.

To date he has received written responses from counsel for Microdata Corporation, and counsel for one of the principals of Mid -South (vendor), which has been presented to the Board. Counsel for Microdata has requested more time to familiarize himself with the case and respond. City Attorney received telephone response from counsel for two of the consultants and counsel for the other principal of the vendor, requesting additional time to respond. City Attorney had originally recommended litigation be filed by February 1st, in view of the three year limitation period on actions for misrepresentations. After further research, he determined that the statute would not begin running for a few more months, and he therefore would not recommend against the Board allowing these individuals additional time to respond. He felt that 30 to 45 additional days would be sufficient under the circumstances. In discussion the Board members weighed the prospect of granting this 385.7 additional time for response, with Director Orton stating that she felt ten days was a very short time to ask for a response. City Attorney McCord stated that the safest course of action would be to 385.8 file the lawsuit before the earliest possible date that the statute could be construed as running -- that date would be the date the bid was submitted, which was February 1, 1980. Director Lancaster, seconded by Director Sharp, made a motion to proceed 385.9 with the filing of the lawsuit against all parties concerned, City Attorney McCord stated that if he received settlement offers prior to filing the lawsuit, he would relay them to the Board and a special meeting could 385.10 be called to consider those offers, if the Board is so inclined. Upon roll call, the motion to proceed with the filing of the lawsuit 385.11 passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. 386 WATER LINE/BRIDGEWATER LANE Mayor Noland indicated that the City Engineer had requested a resolution authorizing the City's participation in the cost of oversizing 386.1 a water line on Bridgewater Lane. Under this proposal an individual property owner will pay the $3,000 cost of a 2" water line -- sufficient to meet his needs -- and the City will pay $4,000 to increase the size of this line to 6". 386.2 Director Orton, seconded by Director Johnson, made a motion to authorize the execution of this resolution to participate in the cost of this oversizing of the water line on Bridgewater Lane. 386.3 Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote.

(� City Manager Grimes had recommended reimbursement to SWEPCO and Southwestern CO Bell of $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, for the placement of these utilities underground. City Staff would devise a plan to recover $67,000 of this amount, relating to relocation of private security lines run from individual properties to the police alarm board panel. It was noted that other towns charge security firms a monthly fee of $5 per customer served by the firms and such a charge would allow firms to pay out the expense in about five years. Director Osborne, seconded by Director Lancaster, made a motion to authorize the reimbursement to SWEPCO and Southwestern Bell, in the amounts of $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, and the City Manager's office was directed to devise an equitable method of recouping the costs associated with phone lines of private alarm firms, in the amount of $67,000. There being no further discussion, upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote.

Don Froning, of Hailey-Powers-Froning confirmed this to the Board. 388.3 Washington Mountain/Land Acquisition The Board discussed the prospect of acquiring from Washington Mountain Properties the pinnacle portion of the property and the pursuit of purchase of the remaining 10 acres of the Walter Grimes tract. 388.4 With regard to the pinnacle portion of the property (10.709 acres), Assistant City Manager McWethy stated that the appraised value of the pro- perty was $37,750, with the owners of the property asking $100,000. After negotiations, the owners and the City reached a proposal of $82,500. Director Sharp stated that he felt the pinnacle portion would be a 388.5 unique area for a park and felt there was a need for one, if the City could purchase it for the appraised value. Community Development Director Carlisle stated that the appraisal was valid until February 15, and she added that CD funds could only pay the appraised value, plus 10% over that amount, or would pay an amount determined by the Court to be just compensation. 388.6 388.7 City Attorney McCord stated that once the land developer puts the City on notice the City either has to acquire or release the land being reserved for acquisition within one year from the date of that notice. Upon expiration of that time if the City does not proceed with a negotiated condemnation or a full adversary condemnation proceeding to acquire the property, the City cannot prohibit the developer from developing the area. He added that a condemnation proceeding could be abandoned if there was no bad faith involved. Mayor Noland suggested tabling the discussion of the acquisition of the pinnacle portion of Washington Mountain until the Board meeting of February 1, to enable the Board additional time to consider the prospect. 388.8 Director Osborne, seconded by Director Sharp, made a motion to table this matter until the meeting of February 1st.

This was due to the fact that PVC pipe had been quoted, rather than asbestos cement pipe. Director Lancaster, seconded by Mayor Noland, made a motion to authorize the approval of this expenditure. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. Mission Boulevard Sidewalk 389 389.1 389.2 389.3 co Mayor Noland stated that the location of sidewalks on Mission Boulevard 389.4 had been discussed in the Street Committee and no determination had been made. The Board decided to put this item on the agenda for the Board Meeting 0 of February 1, and would review estimates comparing placement on the east or CO west side prior to that meeting. Assistant City Manager McWethy stated that an income survey of the area 1 proved the area ineligible for CD funding. He requested authorization from the Board to delete this item from the 1981 CD budget. The funding for construction of these sidewalks would be allocated from the General Fund. Director tancaster, seconded by Director Osborne, made a motion to delete this item from the CD budget of 1981. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. Masonic Emblem/City Administration Building Director Sharp stated that the removal or retention of the Masonic Emblem on the City Administration Building had been discussed with the attorney for the Masons, and it was determined that the Masons desired to retain the emblem. Assistant City Manager McWethy suggested that the 1869 keystone from the old County Courthouse, currently on the east side of the building, replace the Masonic Emblem. Director Osborne, seconded by Director Johnson, made a motion to authorize the removal of the Masonic Emblem, at the expense of the Masons, with the keystone of the Courthouse replacing the emblem. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass being absent for this vote. James T. Calabria et al v. City of Fayetteville With regard to the letter from the City Attorney regarding the Calabria decision (page 13.55 of the agenda), Director Osborne, seconded by Director Johnson, made a motion to refer this matter to the Planning Commission for consideration.

He added that if judgment is rendered against the County, the County would seek reimbursement from the City of between $8,000-$10,000. McIntosh/Norris Industries/Act 9 Bonds 390.2 City Attorney McCord stated that the Board issued Act 9 bonds in 1979 to finance improvements to the Industrial Park for Norris Industries' subsidiary, McIntosh Corporation. There has been a corporate reorganization and the corporation is now requesting that the Trust Indentures be modi- fied to reflect the new corporate entity, which is Norris California, and to authorize the shortening of the maturity of the bonds. The City Attorney recommended the approval by the Board of a resolution authorizing the substitution of the new lessee and the authorization of the amendment to the Trust Indenture and the bonds to shorten the maturity of the bonds.
