Community Development Director Carlisle stated that she had received several requests for assistance, both in person and by letter, and that several of these individuals were present at this meeting. 1 435.4 Request by Children's House and SCAN Mr. John Boyle, Director of Children's House, addressed the Board to request, along with the representative of SCAN, CD funding for a two-year program and the 435.5 435.6 435.7 435.8 435.9 4:36 acquisition of 5,256 feet of space to serve both entities. Mr. Boyle stated that Children's House is a therapeutic day care center serving LMIF and their children with diagnosed handicaps, special education problems, emotional disturbances, and hearing and vision impairment, and to help these children 436.1 in family crisis situations. Their staff provides support to the parents separately and gives those parents an opportunity to express their frus- trations, fears and anger. The children are referred by Arkansas Social Services or by SCAN (Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect). Children's House received the bulk of its $70,000 budget from Title XX and has 12 1/2% matching funds from United Funds (Fayetteville -Springdale), and the Quorum Court. 436.2 Ms. Janet Richardson, Director of SCAN, addressed the Board and stated that the institution has been in operation in Washington County for nine years and its chief function is to investigate complaints of child abuse and severe neglect in families with children 12 years and under. She stated that once the abuse is confirmed, their trained volunteers provide in-home service to those families, in an attempt to avoid foster home placement, which she feels is costly and detrimental. Their funding is 65% Title XX and State, with current local support of 35%. She added that the alliance with Children's House would afford the groups better opportunity to coordinate their efforts. She said that at any given time about 50% of the children in Children's House will be under the supervision of SCAN. This request for space would enable SCAN and Children's House to combine their efforts towards consultations on these problems. Ms. Richardson stated that SCAN has 15 volunteers who work with 30 families, about 30 hours per month, in addition to the normal staffing and report writing duties She stated that their total budget is $50,000, with the local share being $15,000. (Copy of their joint proposal is attached). 436.3 The Board commended these individuals for their efforts and would consider their proposal. Request by Representatives of Stonebridge Road/Street Paving Mrs. Elizabeth Becker spoke to the Board and requested street paving on 436.4 this road in that it is heavily traveled and causes excessive dust. She added that a survey had been made previously and the area was determined eligible for CD funding. Mayor Noland stated that the Board would consider this request and realized that the need exists for the paving. Request for Street Paving/Sandra Street (One Mile Rd. -Old Farmington) 436.5 Mr. Larry Lomis addressed the Board and requested that Sandra Street, One Mile Road, Velda Court, and Old Farmington Road be scheduled for paving and drainage improvements as soon as funds permit. He presented a petition signed by the residents of these streets. The Board would consider this request. (Copy of petition on file in City Clerk's office). Request by Senior Citizens Center 436.6 A representative of the Senior Citizens Center requested additional lighting to be placed at the parking lot for the Center, as well as some additional parking spaces. The Mayor stated that this would be considered by the Board. Mayor Noland outlined numerous requests and called for citizen input 436.7 but there were no representatives on these requests. The complete list of requests is attached. Mayor Noland stated that the Board would rank these items in priority order and the Community Development Director would assign cost estimates to these individual requests to be discussed at a forthcoming meeting of the Board. 1 REZONING APPEAL 437 Petitioner Jim House, addressed the Board to appeal a decision by the Planning Commission which denied his request for a zoning change from R-1 "Low 437.1 Density Residential" to C-1 "Neighborhood Commercial." Mr. House wishes to have this change so that he can build a retail business building, probably a gas - grocery store. The location is south of Highway 16 East, between Lake Sequoyah Drive and Lewis Woods Lane. Mr. House distributed photographs of the area to the Board. He stated that a petition requesting rejection of this request for rezoning had been presented to the Planning Commission by residents of the area who, he felt, feared he might build a liquor store in the area. He said that the zoning he is requesting would not permit such use. He added that the residents feared traffic would increase considerably, but he felt that would not be the case. The residents o f the area feared that crime would also increase, but his feeling is that the CO store would be within City limits and would involve protection of the City Police. He stated that it was also felt that the area was unsightly and he pointed out that he has done improvements on the property, including replacement of fences, and maintenance of the highway easement, as well as keeping the pastures clean (.) and weed free. He said his petition was denied because the Commission felt that CO it was in conflict with the General Land Use Plan and could tend to encourage strip commercial development. He stated that there is an existing vacant commer- cial property (1/2 mile to the west) and that all the property on the north side o f the highway has already been developed as residential. The property on the south is owned by Mr. Bill Brooks and Mr. Jack Master, and, in that they are o pposed to commercial development, he doubted they would consider further commercial development. Speaking in opposition to this rezoning was Mr. Bill Brooks, whose property 437.2 adjoins this proposed development area. He requested the Board's rejection of this appeal and reiterated the wishes of the other residents in the area. He asked that the Board uphold the decision of the Planning Commission. Director Johnson, seconded by Director Lancaster, made a motion to uphold 437.3 the action of the Planning Commission and deny the rezoning appeal. There being no further discussion, upon roll call, the motion to deny the appeal passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Director Bumpass abstaining. i LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT Mayor Noland indicated that the City Attorney had presented the Board with 437.4 correspondence concerning the proposed settlement offer by the City's computer consultants. In order to afford the Board an opportunity to consider this information, Mayor Noland, seconded by Director Bumpass, made a motion to table this item until the meeting of the Board on March 22, 1983. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. In further discussion, City Attorney McCord indicated that he had not 437.5 received a response to the demand letter his office had sent to Microdata Corporation, which requested a response by March 1, 1983. He asked authorization to issue another demand letter to Microdata, setting a final deadline for response, and if no response is received by that date, he suggested the Board then take whatever action they deem appropriate. Mayor Noland, seconded by Director Johnson, made a motion to authorize this 437.6 second demand letter to Microdata Corporation. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. 437.7 43S SIGN APPEAL/KING PIZZA The Board heard an appeal from the literal provisions of the Sign Ordinance made by Mr. William Sherwood, of King Pizza, located at 850 North Leverett. 438.1 Mayor Noland stated that the Sign Ordinance calls for a 25 -foot setback of such a sign from residentially zoned property. In discussion, Mayor Noland stated that if this were done, that would place the sign in the middle of the current parking area. 438.2 Mr. Sherwood asked that he be granted this waiver in order to place the sign a distance of 19 feet from the residentially zoned property. He stated that he would prefer relocating a lighted sign used by his company at another location. He felt the lighted sign would hinder vandalism. Director Orton questioned the need for an additional sign on the property, in that there was one sign adjacent to these general offices, used for the delivery service of the restaurant. 438.3 Director Osborne, seconded by Director Lancaster, made a motion to grant this variance from the literal provisions of the Sign Ordinance. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6-1, with Director Orton voting in the minority. SIDEWALK WAIVER 438.4 A request was made for a variance from the literal provisions of the Master Sidewalk Plan, by Hackney Bros Body Co., for property located on Armstrong Avenue. Mr. Arthur Piemont, Plant Manager of Hackney Bros. Body Co., addressed the Board and stated that at the present time there is very little pedestrian traffic at this location and he requested Board authorization to enter into a Bill of Assurance which would require the company to uphold this sidewalk requirement at some later date when the sidewalk may be required. He further asked that his company be given one-year notification in order to budget this expenditure. 438.5 In discussion, Director Bumpass asked Mr. Piemont if his company would be willing to contribute some amount of money towards the building of a longer length of contiguous sidewalk on either side of Armstrong Avenue (one currently exists on the American Air Filter side of Armstrong). Mr. Piemont said he could agree to this in the name of his company. 438.6 Director Osborne, seconded by Director Bumpass, made a motion to grant the request of Hackney Bros. Body Co. for a variance from the Master Sidewalk Plan, and to authorize the execution of a Bill of Assurance that a sidewalk would be built at the call of the City. Director Sharp pointed out that this matter had not been before the Street Committee for discussion and he agreed with Director Bumpass that the possibility of building contiguous sidewalks of greater length should be discussed. Director Osborne then withdrew his motion; Director Bumpass withdrew his second. 438.7 Director Osborne, seconded by Director Bumpass, made a motion to refer this matter to the Street Committee, with the provision that Hackney Bros. Body Co. be issued its pending building permit, to expedite their expansion process at Armstrong Avenue. 438.8 There being no further discussion, the motion to refer this matter to the Street Committee passed by a vote of 7-0. 1 1 UTILITY EASEMENT VACATED Mayor Noland called for an ordinance abandoning and vacating a 20 foot utility easement along the southern boundary of Lot 36, Block 6, in Hyland Park, Phase III Subdivision. 439 439.1 City Attorney McCord read the ordinance for the first time. Director Osborne, seconded by Director Johnson, made a motion to suspend the rules and place the 439.2 ordinance on second reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed unanimously, and the City Attorney read the ordinance for the second time. Director Osborne, seconded by Director Orton, made a motion to further suspend the rules and place the ordinance on third and final reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed unanimously, and the City Attorney read the ordinance for the final time. Upon roll call, the ordinance passed by a vote of 7-0. COMayor Noland stated that this action has been approved by all the utility 439.3 companies and the City Engineer, Sanitation Superintendent, and Street Superintendent. U ORDINANCE NO. 2902 APPEARS ON PAGE ,3a 7 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK XIII CO Q BID AWARDS 1 Bid Award #509 - Automotive Parts Purchasing Agent, Sturman Mackey, recommended the award of this bid in its 439.4 entirety to Auto Parts, Inc., and he noted that the prices are average cost prices for 25 selected items. The method used to compile these prices has been used in Kansas and Southern Missouri and was adapted to the needs of - the City for parts inventory. The contract would apply to all City Departments for only these items, and the Purchasing Agent stated that the City reserves the right to purchase from the next low bidder, should this overall low bidder not have the parts when requested by the City. The contract calls for delivery on an as needed basis. Mr. Mackey added that this method of computation and compilation is a very complex one and he suggested that when this contract expires the City select approximately 50 differentparts for specific items and determine the least cost for each specific item. When Director Bumpass asked Mr. Mackey the amount expended in the past year 439.5 for these parts, he stated that parts for passenger type vehicles and light pickups amounted to $52,874.00, covered by local Fayetteville parts houses. This amount does not include any Springdale parts houses which handle specialty items for trucks. He concluded that his investigation had covered parts for which he thought the City would get competitive bids. Four companies had bid on this specification. There being no further discussion, Director Lancaster, seconded by Director Orton, made a motion to approve the recommendation of the Purchasing Agent and 439.6 award Bid #509 to Auto Parts, Inc. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. Bid Award #512 - Purchase of Three Sanitation Trucks/Packer Bodies Mayor Noland stated that three companies had submitted bids on this purchase and Purchasing Agent Mackey made the recommendation that the bid be awarded to the low bidder, Lewis Ford, for a total amount of $104,600.70. There being no further discussion, Mayor Noland, seconded by Director Lancaster, made a motion to award this bid to Lewis Ford. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. 439.7 440 BILL OF ASSURANCE/SIDEWALK/NORTHWEST CENTER Mr. Jim Lindsey addressed the Board concerning a request for a Bill of 440.1 Assurance to build a sidewalk at Northwest Center at the intersection of Stearns Road and North College Avenue (Highway 71 North). Mr. Lindsey is finalizing a sale of this property and has been in written communication with the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department concerning the resolution of the question of the location of this sidewalk. He added that he is willing to build a sidewalk in whatever form the AHTD deems appro- priate. He is requesting the Bill of Assurance to expedite the finalization of the Certificate of Occupancy on this property. Mr. Lindsey stated that he would draft a document, with the assistance of the City Attorney, which would assure the building of the sidewalk at the call of the City, and such document would make the property owner a party to this contract. 440.2 There being no further discussion, Director Sharp, seconded by Director Orton, made a motion to authorize the execution of a contract or form of Bill of Assurance for this purpose. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. AIRPORT SUBSIDY 440.3 Mayor Noland called for a resolution cancelling the debt that the Airport Fund received from the General Fund. Director Osborne, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that this is the recommendation of the Finance Committee. 440.4 Director Osborne, seconded by Director Lancaster, made a motion to authorize the execution of this resolution. 440.5 In Discussion, Finance Director Linebaugh stated that the loan amounts to $717,396, of which the Airport Fund was paying 10% interest. He recommended that the loan should be written off due to the Airport running at a loss, and there being no foreseeable change to allow the Airport to generate the funds necessary to pay back the loan. He added that all future transfers from the General Fund to the Airport Fund should be treated as a subsidy transfer instead of a loan. Mr. Linebaugh added that the loan is generating $70,000 worth of interest per year. 440.6 Director Bumpass and Mayor Noland stated that they would like to see the dollar amount of actual funds that were transferred kept apart from any accrued interest. Mr. Linebaugh said that this could be done. 440.7 Director Osborne revised his motion to state that the amount be listed separately showing the actual amount and the amount plus interest. He said this could be done by footnoting it by year of investment. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. RESOLUTION N0.36-83 APPEARS ON PAGE MQ OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK XVI WAIVER/TANDEM LOT ORDINANCE 440.8 Mayor Noland stated that Mr. Bob Middleton and Mr. Clifford Councille had requested a waiver of the permanent garbage container provision of the Tandem Lot Ordinance. The petitioners are residents of Cliffside Drive, Hyland Park Subdivision. Their property is located at the end of the cul de sac 1 1 o n Cliffside Drive. The petitioners had stated that this request is made in that they would be willing to bring their garbage containers to the street twice weekly and felt there is no need to build this container to hold the garbage cans. 441 441.1 Director Sharp suggested that a Bill of Assurance could be arranged that the petitioners, or future owners of the property, would build this container on the 25 foot easement leading to the tandem lot, at the call of the City. Mr. Jim Lindsey who was present stated that he is building a house on the adjoining property and felt that if the petitioners would take the responsibility to collect the garbage cans and bring them to the easement when needed, he could not conceive of any violation. He also felt that the permanent garbage con- tainer could prove unsightly in that garbage could build up in it. 441.2 Director Sharp, seconded byDirector Johnson, made a motion to 441.3 p grant this a) request for a waiver of the permanent garbage container privision of the Tandem CO Lot Ordinance, and to enter into a Bill of Assurance that the container would be built at the call of the City.

City Manager Grimes stated that the dock fees have not generated sufficient funds to operate and maintain the docks. He added that the low fee is causing some persons to use the docks to store their boats. Director Lancaster proposed keeping the dock fees at Lake Sequoyah at the current rate, in that there is less useage at that dock, and there is disruption o f the fishing and boating whenever there are low flows in the West Fork of the White River. 441.8 441.9 4412 After discussion, Mayor Noland, seconded by Director Johnson, made a motion to keep the dock fee at Lake Sequoyah at the current rate and increase, 442.1 by ordinance, the dock fee at Lake Fayetteville from $40.00 per year to $10.00 per month.

It also does not contain figures for the CD 443.1 Block Grant Program. Director Lancaster pointed out that this budget includes two foot patrolmen for the Central Business District and Dickson Street, and Mayor Noland stated that many of the special projects mentioned could not have been undertaken without the use of sales tax revenues.
