MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
A regular meeting of the Fayetteville City Board of Directors was
held at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, August 7, 1984 in the Board Room of
the City Administration Building, 113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville,
Arkansas.
PRESENT: Assistant Mayor Lancaster; Directors Bumpass, Johnson,
Orton and Sharp; City Manager Grimes; Assistant City
Manager McWethy; City Attorney McCord; City Clerk Kennedy;
members of the press and audience
ABSENT: Mayor Noland; Director Martin
CALL TO ORDER
154.1 Assistant Mayor Lancaster called the meeting to order, with five Directors
present, and asked for a moment of respectful silence.
EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH
154.2 Lancaster announced the "employee of the month" awards for July, noting
comments made about the outstanding performance of the employees by
their supervisors. Certificates and checks for $150.00 were presented
to Raymond E. "Todd" Bohannon, Water and Sewer Department; Darrell
Lackey, Sanitation Department; and Daryl Mounce, City Shop.
SANITATION CONTRACT
154.3 A resolution was introduced authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute a contract with Northwest Arkansas Waste Management which
wishes to provide private collector service for American Air Filter.
154.4 City Attorney McCord explained this request is for a private collector
contract authorized by city ordinance; that the request is being opposed
by Sunray Sanitation which has a private collector contract to service
American Air Filter and which also operates the landfill used by the
city. McCord stated there is a dispute among counsel for each party
concerning whether authorizing the contract would constitute a breach
of the city's landfill contract with Sunray, and whether it would
also be in violation of the city ordinance. McCord stated that Tom
Hughes, Plant Manager for American Air Filter, has advised that an
agreement has been reached with Sunray to continue sanitation service.
McCord stated the issue appears to be moot and could be resolved by
approving the request.

Director Bumpass, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to approve the
contract.
Bill Clark, counsel for Harold Parsons of Northwest Arkansas Waste
Management, addressed the Board, stating he appreciated the action
to approve the contract but wished to address the broader issue.
Clark stated the contract is actually a "license" rather than a contract
because its wording allows Wase Management to negotiate. Clark gave
(.0 the Directors copies of a resolution and contract approved by the
Board for Sunray Sanitation in April of 1984, authorizing Sunray to
negotiate with American Air Filter and other companies. Clark noted
W paragraph one of that contract gives Sunray "...a non-exclusive right...".
Clark asked the Board "to give us the same deal that you've given
Sunray". Clark stated his client is "at a competitive disadvantage",
Q as Sunray "has been given a blanket right" to deal with other companies.
Lancaster noted the issue before the Board at this meeting is a contract
with American Air Filter.
William Jackson Butt, counsel for Sunray Sanitation, addressed the
Board. Butt stated his client has no objection to the proposed ordinance
"to do away with the city dumping ground". Butt stated he now realizes
the ordinance does not apply to commercial and industrial waste.
Butt stated if the city grants a contract to Parsons, Parsons can
presumably use his own landfill. Butt noted points of concern to
him: (1) when the contract was negotiated with the Sunray landfill
there were no other competitors and it was understood "this was going
to be the only landfill"; (2) if Parsons is granted a contract he
has a competitive advantage over Sunray because he is not required
to carry $2 1/2 million in liability insurance, is not required to
post a $50,000 bond, nor has he agreed in writing to indemnify the
city, as Sunray has been required to do; and (3) Sunray believes it
has entered into an exclusive contract with the city and believes
the city is bound to that. Butt urged the Board not to vote in favor
of issuing a contract to Parsons.
Director Bumpass asked the City Attorney to address the question of
liability insurance and indemnification. McCord explained the city
has two contracts with Sunray and the one for the landfill into which
the city disposes its solid waste is the contract which contains an
indemnification provision; that the city also has a private collector
contract which authorizes Sunray to serve American Air Filter and
other businesses and that contract has no such indemnification provision.
McCord stated he could not foresee any potential liability to the
city by authorizing a private collector contract; that the State regulates
landfills very stringently.
Director Bumpass asked what steps the city can take to assure that
landfill permits are "current and up to date". McCord stated since
landfills are regulated by the State the Board of Directors would
become aware immediately if there are any problems or danger of revocation

AMENDMENT TO CODE/SANITATION LOCATION
156.5 An ordinance was introduced amending the City Code by deleting the
requirement that private haulers deposit their garbage and trash at
the City's disposal grounds. The City Attorney explained the existing
ordinance is old and was written at the time the city operated its
own disposal site; that repealing it would not preclude the city from
enacting an ordinance (if the Resource Recovery facility becomes operable)
requiring that all solid waste be disposed in that facility.
156.6 The City Attorney read the ordinance for the first time. Director
Bumpass, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to suspend the rules and
place the ordinance on second reading. Upon roll call, the motion
passed, 5-0. The ordinance was read for the second time. Director
Bumpass, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to further suspend the
rules and place the ordinance on third and final reading. Upon roll
call, the motion passed, 5-0. The ordinance was read for the third
and final time.

Lancaster asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against
the ordinance. There was no response. Upon roll call, the ordinance
passed, 5-0.

INFORMATIONAL SIGNS
OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION
156.8 An ordinance was introduced amending the City Code by allowing "identifi-
cational and informational signs" to bear advertising.

August 7, 1984
The City Attorney explained the amendment was recommended by the city's
Inspection Department and its purpose would be to enable the many
existing identificational signs (which advertise the business) to
continue in existence without becoming non -conforming and requiring
removal. McCord stated there had been discussion regarding limitation
on letter -sizing to differentiate between advertising and non -advertising
but, according to a U.S. Supreme Court decision, any restriction on
the size of lettering should apply to all lettering.
The City Attorney read the ordinance for the first time.
Director Sharp asked if the ordinance would limit the advertising
(on the sign) to the business which is located on the property. The
City Attorney suggested wording might be used to reflect that adver-
tising is prohibited but identification of the business at that location
is permitted.
Director Johnson raised a question about an identificational sign,
bearing the name of the business, located on a parking lot not owned
by the business. Johnson also asked if there is a limitation on the
number of signs which can say "customer parking". McCord noted the
ordinance stipulates only one sign at each entrance and at each exit
of a lot.
The City Attorney suggested this item be tabled in light of the many
questions which had been raised regarding the wording of the ordinance.
The City Attorney recommended meeting with the Inspection Department
to design a more comprehensive ordinance which would address all possible
ramifications.
Director Orton, seconded by Bumpass, made a motion to table. Upon
roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.
FOURTH LOT SPLIT/BASSETT
A request was introduced for a waiver of the literal requirements
of the Subdivision Ordinance, regarding the fourth lot split of a
parcel located on the south side of Highway 16 West. Ronnie Woodruff
was present, representing Airways Freight Corporation, which intends
to purchase the 8 acre split. Woodruff explained that Airways Freight
Corporation intends to build a national headquarters on the property
now owned in trust by the heirs of Johnie Bassett. Woodruff explained
the original tract encompassed 185 acres and the Planning Administrator
has stated the property has been split three times. Woodruff stated
the present owners have no interest in pursuing a subdivision in the
near future. Woodruff stated the present zoning is A-1, Agricultural
and the intention is to develop an office operation only, with no
warehousing or freight terminal uses intended.

that a rezoning petition and a large scale development plan must be
filed with the Planning Commission, at which time drainage and sewage
problems would have to be addressed.
158.2 Director Johnson, seconded by Orton, made a motion to approve the
lot split.
158.3 Director Sharp asked what factors the Board should be considering
when considering approval of a fourth lot split. The City Attorney
noted consideration should be given to whether the request is consistent
with the spirit and intent of the subdivision regulations and whether
there is intent to avoid platting requirements or to circumvent any
regulations.
158.4 Upon roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.
PROPERTY CLEANUP/620 S. LOCUST
158.5 An ordinance was introduced ordering the removal of an unsafe structure
and the abatement of unsightly conditions on property located at 620
South Locust.
158.6 The City Attorney read the ordinance for the first time. Director
Bumpass, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to suspend the rules and
place the ordinance on second reading. Upon roll call, the motion
passed, 5-0. The ordinance was read for the second time. Director
Bumpass, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to further suspend the
rules and place the ordinance on third and final reading. Upon roll
call, the motion passed, 5-0. The ordinance was read for the third
and final time.
158.7 Lancaster asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against
the ordinance. There was no response. Lancaster stated the Directors
had viewed the location and Director Bumpass noted the property owners
were notified.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL/N.COLLEGE & MEADOW INTERSECTION
A resolution was introduced authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk
to execute a Highway Department permit agreement for the installation
of a traffic signal at the intersection of North College Avenue and
Meadow Street.
Director Bumpass asked what effect this action would have on the current
push-button stoplight at the Center Street intersection. City Manager
Grimes explained the Meadow and Mountain Street intersections would
be timed together so that pedestrians can cross. Director Bumpass
brought up the concerns which have been expressed in the past by courthouse
personnel about what effect the new light will have on pedestrian
traffic. City Manager Grimes stated, since the County's construction
plans are not yet finalized, adjustments can be made if they are found
to be necessary.
Director Orton, seconded by Sharp, made a motion to approve the reso-
lution. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.

Engineering Proposals/Obstruction Removal
160.4 A request was introduced for approval of the Airport Committee's recom-
mendation to seek proposals from engineering firms to identify the
scope of work involved in off -airport obstruction removal, as required
by the Federal Aviation Administration and determine estimates for
the project and complete an Airport Improvement Project application.
160.5 Dale Frederick, Airport Manager, noted this would be eligible for
90/10 match; that 50% of the city's match can be recouped from the
State. Frederick explained the federal government has lowered the
minimum visibility from one mile to 3/4 of a mile, which has changed
the primary surface area (from 250 feet each side of the center line)
to 500 feet each side of the center line, creating new obstructions.
Frederick stated because it is not known how many obstructions there
are or what they consist of, he recommends going through the selection
process to obtain staff which can identify the scope of work and prepare
an application.
160.6 Director Sharp, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to approve the
recommendation of the Airport Committee. Upon roll call, the motion
passed, 5-0.
Airport Improvement Project/Terminal Ramp Expansion
160.7 A request was introduced for approval to submit an Airport Improvement
Project application for terminal ramp expansion.
160.8 Frederick explained that, since the ramp was built in 1980, Scheduled
Skyways and other airlines have greatly increased the size of their
fleets, causing a need for expansion.

C/F/R Vehicle
Dale Frederick explained there has been a change in C/F/R equipment
for airports nationwide; that the district office has advised there
be an update to the application (with a budgetary figure of $250,000).
The City Manager recommended the city's purchasing officer, fire chief
and shop superintendent review final specifications before pursuing
competitive bids.
Director Bumpass asked about the notation for an additional $25,000
for small tools. Frederick explained this would be separate from
the $250,000 budgetary figure and would be included in a separate
application.

Director Bumpass, seconded by Sharp, made a motion to upgrade the 161.8
application for fire equipment at the airport. Upon roll call, the
motion passed, 5-0.
Bid Award/Siding for Old White Hangar Building
Lancaster explained four bids were submitted for siding the old white 161.9
hangar building, one of which was rejected because it was not bid
according to specification.
Director Sharp, seconded by Orton, made a motion to award the bid 161.10
to the low bidder, B & B Enterprises, for $18,355.
162
August 7, 1984
162.1 There was brief discussion concerning the problem of adjusting the
budget because the bid amount is $5,355 over budget. City Attorney
McCord noted this agenda item reflects a request for a budget adjustment.
162.2 In answer to questions from Directors, Purchasing Officer Mackey stated
there is no time limit specified on how long the bid is good, but
that a tine limit on completion of work would be specified in a contract.
162.3 Upon roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.

SEWER LINES/VANDEVENTER AVENUE
162.4 A request was introduced for authorization of construction of sewer
lines on Vandeventer Avenue and on Maple Street, at an estimated cost
of $12,000, to replace certain private lines which have failed. Lancaster
explained this is the recommendation of the Water and Sewer Committee
which met on July 19th.
162.5 Director Orton noted discussion has taken place concerning budgeting
funds in order to take care of other such private line replacement
throughout the city.

of Highway 45 East, on Fox Hunter Road, at an estimated cost of $21,000;
and a waiver of the Professional Selection Policy for the employment
of an engineering firm for the project. Lancaster stated this is
a recommendation of the Water and Sewer Committee.
162.8 Director Orton, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to approve the
authorization.
162.9 Director Sharp questioned the lump sum amount of $500 for moving and
replacing a rail fence, which was included in the estimated cost of
the work submitted by McClelland Engineers. Engineer Johnny Quinn
explained this amount was only an estimate and includes taking down
the fence, moving it out of the way and replacing the fence. It was
1

the consensus of the directors that this lump sum amount was excessive.
Quinn pointed out this job will be bid and if the work can be done
more cheaply, it will be bid lower.

Director Bumpass asked why the bid prices were so different. Purchasing
Officer Mackey stated he checked the bids out and the Jimmie Jones
Company was found to be "in a much more competitive position".
VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS
Consideration was given to specifications for various vehicles to
be advertised for bids.
Director Lancaster asked if the specifications were written so that
all three local motor companies would be able to submit bids for all
items; and specifically if all the local motor companies sell a V-6
engine. Purchasing Officer Mackey replied that he was not sure but
he thought that they could all meet the specifications.

Director Sharp asked why the specifications for Fire Department vehicles
require cigarette lighters and push-button A.M. radios. Shop Superin-
tendent Van Bell explained the cigarette lighters are used for other
plug-in accessories used by the Fire Department. City Manager Grimes
explained it has been found that the cost of the A.M. radios is recouped
at auction. Mackey stated he thought the A.M. radios increase resale
value of the auto. Mackey stated the inclusion of the lighters and
radios is not intended to exclude any bidder and is a requirement
which could be waived if it were to discourage a bidder.
Director Bumpass asked for the range of prices received at the last
auction for models of the same year. Mackey stated, depending upon
condition and mileage, prices received ranged from $550 to $2600 for
models of the same year.
Director Lancaster asked if the proposed vehicle purchases would be
replacements or additions. Mackey stated the vehicle for the Parks
Department would be an addition to be used for the Horticulturist
and is a budgeted item. City Manager Grimes stated all other vehicles
would be replacements.
Director Lancaster asked City Manager Grimes if he was satisfied with
the specifications as they are. Grimes explained he had originally
asked that the specifications be sent back for further review by the
Purchasing Officer and Shop Superintendent because he had thought
there were a lot of special items which he did not feel were necessary
and he pointed out the specifications have been amended.
the motion was seconded by Director Bumpass.
After further discussion, City Manager Grimes asked Mackey to schedule
a pre-bid conference.
Upon roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.

very confusing and Lamar Pettus is out of town.

Fire -Rated Wire Glass Storm Windows
Lancaster noted that no bids were received for the installation of 165.2
fire -rated wire glass storm windows and the recommendation is that
the windows be built and installed in-house.
City Manager Grimes suggested a sample window be constructed. Assistant
City Manager McWethy stated a sample window could be constructed.
He stated that, in checking with the Inspection Superintendent, what
is proposed would meet the intent of the Code. McWethy, in answer
to Director Bumpass, explained the intent of the Code is to protect
the building should the adjacent KHOG building catch fire, since the
windows on the second floor of the City building are just above the
roof of the KHOG building. McWethy explained the heat from a fire
could break out the city's present windows and cause flames to enter
the city building; that wire glass gives a one-hour fire rating and
keeps flames from entering the building. McWethy stated, according
to the Inspection Department, wire glass windows should have been
installed along the east side of the second floor.
Director Bumpass questioned why no bids were received. McWethy suggested
there may not be enough demand, perhaps because there are probably
not many instances of new construction immediately adjacent to the
roof of another structure.
Director Bumpass asked about the cost of the project being

Removal of Low -Water Dam
City Manager Grimes referred to his memo to the Directors concerning 165.6
the removal of a city -owned low-water dam located on the West Fork
of the White River. Grimes explained that this dam serves no useful
purpose and actually constitutes somewhat of a nuisance during periods
of high water flow when its presence encourages erosion along the
west bank of the main river channel and through some adjacent property.
Grimes recommended the adjacent property owner, Mr. Goff, be permitted
to remove the low-water dam.
Director Orton, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to approve the 165.7
recommendation of the City Manager and that the city wort with Mr. Goff
on the removal of the dam. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.

their proposal for an ordinance concerning sales of pornography.
Request for Rehearing/"Chicken Country"
166.4 Lancaster stated that, in discussions with a representative of Chicken
Country Restaurant, he was told there was an error in the request
for a variance for a sign located at 1889 North College Avenue; that
the petitioner states he was not notified that his appeal was on the
agenda for July 17. Lancaster stated the petitioner requests a rehearing.
166.5 Lancaster, seconded by Johnson, made a motion to grant the request
for a rehearing.
166.6 Director Bumpass stated the petitioner should submit a specific request
and the petitioner should be notified of the date of the appeal.

Utility Relocation/SWEPCO
166.8 City Manager Grimes stated $20,000 has been budgeted for SWEPCO to
relocate utility lines on Dickson Street from West Avenue to Gregg
Avenue. Grimes stated SWEPCO has submitted a payment request of $18,943.16
and Grimes recommended this payment be authorized before work is started.
166.9 Director Johnson, seconded by Bumpass, made a motion to approve the
request. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 5-0.
Flyers on Dickson Street
166.10 Director Bumpass distributed a letter from Ray Jones, President of
a merchants' group, "Pride In Dickson Street, Inc." Bumpass explained
that, in an effort to eliminate the practice of posting flyers on
buildings, lamp posts, etc., all along Dickson Street, a proposal
has been made to construct and install ten 4' x 4' bulletin boards
on Dickson Street. Bumpass stated in the past, the use of a "kiosk"
was proposed but it was thought to be too costly. Bumpass stated
1

Assistant City Manager McWethy stated, if the Board approves the use
of the bulletin boards, he thinks it would be preferable if the city
were to install and maintain them rather than the private sector,
so that they can be kept well-maintained.
Director Sharp suggested the possibility that one or two kiosks might
be less expensive than ten bulletin boards. David McWethy was asked
to obtain cost estimates for a kiosk.
