Public and Board" on the ongoing progress of the reorganization, on .such issues as safety and other items of general interest. Acting City Manager Jim Murphy reported on those accomplishments made since the start of the budget process. Murphy stated the budget was prepared and completed in 48 !days -through a tremendous effort on the part of city employees. Murphy explained this year's budget was written .in a "program" format - the first step in attempting to fully implement a program budget in 1987. A program budget, Murphy explained, details out specific programs for each of the three new divisions, -along with goals, robjectives and strategies expected to :be.Terformed in order to accomplish the -1986 budget. Murphy said the budget has•been'brought to the* first step of:a. "full. services mode"- and into the mode' of the new reorganization. Regarding reorganization, Murphy .reported that to date it has been developed: and implemented. Murphy said resumes have been received for the three new major department head positions, and that. City Manage* Don Grimes has begun to review resumes and list his initial preferences. Murphy. stated that, based on the availability, of Grimes in late January, the resumes will -be narrowed down to four or five.candidates to bring beforea panel to be interviewed for final selection. 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 V V t.. • January 7, 1986 2.1 Murphy explained that the initial reorganization has been put into effect by appointing temporary department heads and that all departments are now functioning with new reporting relationships. 2.2 In the Public Works Division, Murphy explained the consolidation of the work force has started. Water and Sewer Departments have been combined at the Cato Springs Road Operations Center. Cross -training between the Street Department's and Water and Sewer Department's crews will begin shortly for maintenance work. Murphy stated the process has begun for developing procedures for the new Construction Division. Murphy reported that a retired executive, Robert Harris, working through a Retired Executive Program, has been engaged at no cost to the city, to assist in the development of those procedures. 2.3 Through the budget process, Murphy said emphasis is being placed on strengthening the needs of the Police and Fire Departments. Murphy said the city's strengths are being developed in the areas where per- formance should be at its best level -- those being services, maintenance and protection, at the least possible cost to the taxpayer. Murphy reported that employees are being trained daily in the expectations and what it will take to fulfill those expectations. 2.4 Murphy reported that supervisory training began today under a contract of courses taught by Lawrence -Leiter and Company and that results of today's session were outstanding. Murphy said there was very positive feedback from the employees. 2.5 Murphy said that the planning process has started with all supervisors, with input being obtained at all levels, as well as assistance from the supervisors in the development of the planning. 2.6 Regarding the performance audit, Murphy reported that implementation is proceeding with all the accepted performance audit recommendations. Murphy noted that, where reductions were recommended, these were cut out of the 1986 budget. Murphy reported that operational recommendations are being implemented on a daily basis. 2.7 Murphy presented an update of the sewer plant construction. He reported that construction is 26.6% complete, with about 2% of that work being completed in December. Construction progress slowed somewhat due to the holiday season and several short periods of very cold weather which prevented extensive concrete work. The majority of the work completed involved the following structures: the administration building, primary clarifiers, secondary clarifiers, aeration basins, chlorine contact tank, chlorination building and the belt press. 2.8 Regarding the Solid Waste project, Murphy reported that currently $22 million in financing has been obtained to approve, develop and start the project in 1986, through the purchase of tax-free municipal bonds. • January 7,-1986 Murphy reported'that the Public Works Division has begun t� determine their working needs in advance, getting organized better and getting people on the fob faster than ever before. Murphy reported that meetings are being held with Administrative Services to combine forms necessary for reporting scheduling needs and payroll and production =information. Murphy commerited=that the reorganization -is very f-ar'ahead of schedule and stated -that he had. never. 'seen such a level of effort coming from employees`•''who shave 'every right 'to feel insecure. --Murphy added that employees -have&-done a tremendous• :-job and a lot will, be accomplished in the next six months. MUSIC F.ESTIVAL,FUNDINCREQUEST The Mayor introduced a request from the Music Festival of Arkansas for funding for 1986, of $5500, to cover printing costs and audio taping 'the 1986 Music Festival for use in the Public Broadcasting Network. Dick Atkinson; spoke on behalf of. the request. Atkinsoh explained that the Music Festival of Arkansas is a non-profit organization which sponsors the Music Festival every year, for two weeks, in various locations in Fayetteville. Atkinson said at least_ 4,000 people attended the Festival last year.- He pointed out three things which characterize the Music:Festival = quality, ability -to operate on a stringent level, and the vision -that Fayetteville could become known as "the home of the Music Festival of Arkansas": • Atkinson noted that in 1986, in conjunction with the Arkansas Sesquleen- tennial the Music Festival has' commissioned'•air original compositioh by an'Lkfkarisas"L'compbsei`-torbe ptemiered:on •June 15.;.-•Atkinson'stated the Arkansas Arts Council"'has promised $5,000 ;to the' Music =Festival if the Music Festival can raise $10,000. Atkinson stated a contribution from the city of $5500 would help the Music Festival reach their goal of $10,000. Atkinson explaitned.that $5500 from the city would pay for audio -taping of the Music Festival for national public radio, and would cover the costs of printing programs. Director Orton expressed her disappointment 'that the. Advertising and Promotion Commission had not granted a request from the Music Festival for funding of $3,000 for advertising and promotion. Orton made a `motion that the Board recommend -that the Advertising and Promotion Commission reconsider and grant the Festival $3,000 5 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 gi January 7, 1986 4.1 and that the City Board grant $2500 for the audio -taping of the Festival. There was no second to the motion. 4.2 Orton added that $15,000 is included in the Advertising and Promotion Fund's budget for special projects. 4.3 Director Martin suggested the Board allocate the $5500 now, and contact the Advertising and Promotion Commission regarding the $3,000 request at a later date. Director Johnson made a motion to allocate $5500 to the Music Festival, with the proviso that, if the Advertising and Promotion Cosission should act on the Masse Festival's $3,000 request at a later date, they then would reimburse the city for that amount. Director Martin seconded the motion. 4.4 In answer to a question from the Mayor regarding from which fund the $5500 would be taken, Director Martin responded that the Finance Committee would make that determination. 4.5 Mayor Noland explained that, of the $15,000 in the Advertising and Promotion Fund's special projects' budget, about $12,000 is under contract to the Chamber of Commerce for advertising purposes. 4.6 Upon roll call, the motion passed, 6-0, with Director Bumpass absent.

Director Orton noted that money was included in the 1986 budget for some necessary repair work to the "old white hangar" but that beyond those repairs, additional money would have to be made as contributions to a non-profit organization which would operate the museum. Director Martin added that, although he thought the idea of a museum was a good one, the question should be addressed of whether there is an ongoing need for the business presently being operated in the hanger, and whether the museum is the highest and best use for the building. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 6-0. RESOLUTION NO. 1-86 APPEARS ON PAGE 207 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK xxIII UNSIGHTLY PROPERTY The Mayor explained that, at the December 17 meeting, an ordinance ordering the razing and removal of an unsafe structure, located at the northeast corner of South School Avenue and llth Street, was left on third reading.

Upon the advice of the City Attorney, the Mayor noted that no additional action was necessary at this time. Director Lancaster asked that a deadline be imposed by which time the razing of the structure must take place. The City Attorney advised that the ordinance could be tabled for a specified number of days. The Mayor suggested that, in light of cold weather, a deadline of 6-8 weeks be imposed. Director Lancaster commented that the property was a disgrace to the town, and he made a motion to leave the ordinance on the table and, if the razing and remoral is not completed according to specifications by February 4, the Board take further action. The motion was seconded by Director Johnson and, upon roll call, passed by a vote of 4-2, with Martin and Noland voting in the minority. SIGN APPEAL/715 N. COLLEGE The Mayor introduced an appeal sign ordinance for a sign to be R-0, "Residential -Office" zoning from the literal provisions of the located at 715 North College in an district. The Mayor explained that January 7, 1986 the petitioner, Kirk Johnson,' requests permission to install a 12 square.: foot,..:five foot_:liigh, free-standing sign .on' a'1 retaining wall which is appioximately :20 feet above _the street'. The Mayor noted the ordinance requires thatthe display _surface area of the.sign shall not exceed four square feet and should be set back a minimum of 15 feet from streetyright-of-way. . Dr. Kirk Johnson explained that:the proposed sign would be double-faced and that he makes the request because of the many complaints he has received from .patients regarding the lack of visibility' of his office from the -street. Johnson noted that. there is, no middle lane. at the point on the highway where •his office IS -located and that ..there have been many -accidents. Director Orton remarked that this was an unusual situation and stated that the 'request for a 'variance on. the height was propei. In answer to a ,question. from Ortoii,'Dr. Johnson stated..the railing is about 17 feet back from the highway. Orton questioned whether .the -:amount of , variance requested , on the setback and on the square footage was necessary. Dr..Johnson stated he thought the proposed locatiom..was "about the only place the -sign could be located" on his:property. He stated that the -area in front of the office is a parking lot and a drop-off fettle -top of '.a ;retaining wall, leaving the -only location for the sign to be up against the'edge'.'ofthe` railing. `Dr. Johnson stated that the size of the sign was recommended to him as necessary for visibility. Director -Johnson stated she thought the request was very°reasonable. DirectorcOrton:questioned whetherrthe.12-square-foot-size was necessary, notingg:that others 'in the R-0 zoning distri'ct-are subject to size restrictions. Director -Johnson noted:that all- a1'ong .the .highway :in that area is C-2 zoned property, with other signs which are 12 square feet in'size: • Director Hess stated .he did not think the request or the -size of:. the sign to be unreasonable, noting that .the rationale for the variance, wouldr:be to=allow: those :approaching the. office time to r see the sign and t-o:tprepare."to turn-off sthe 'hightday.,': Hess :added that he .did not think the petitioner was trying -to circumvent the intent ofthesign ordinance. Director Hess, seconded,.' bylMartin,•.made 'a .motion; to grant the variance to install a 12 -square foot sign approximately five feet high. Upon roll call, the motion passed,:6-0. . • LOT.SPLIT/HWY.16W,.&,HWY,71 The Board considered a request by Len Edens for Board approval of a fourth lot split, for property located at the southwest corner of U I 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 8.6 8.7 8.8 8.9 January 7, 1986 Highway 16 West and Highway 71. The Mayor noted that the Planning Commission would not review a request for a third lot split until January 13, and he questioned whether the Board should consider this request before'the.Planning Commission acts on the third lot split. Director Orton made a motion that the Board take no action on the request until the Planning Commission acts on the request for a third lot split. There was no second to that motion. Len Edens explained that he was requesting Board approval contingent upon approval by the Planning Commission. Edens explained the reason for making a request of the Board at this time is that he must post a sign for thirty days and advertise in the newspaper for two weeks before appearing before the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to request a transfer on February 19. Edens explained that, if he cannot appear before the ABC Board on February 19, he must wait until March 19 before that Board meets again, which he stated would "mean a lot of money out of my pocket". Mayor Noland stressed that for the Board to take action on a fourth split without any action by the Planning Commission on the third split would be pre-empting the Planning Commission. Noland pointed out that the Planning Commission's recommendation on the third split would guide him in making a decision on the fourth split. Director Lancaster agreed. Director Martin stated he thought it important the Board not pre-empt the Planning Commission but on the other hand he thought Edens' plans did not pre-empt the subdivision regulations. The City Attorney noted that, even if the lot split is approved, certain required improvements can be imposed as a condition of lot split approval. Edens explained that he owns all the property involved and that the only reason he is splitting the property is to fulfill Alcoholic Beverage Control requirements. After further discussion, Mayor Noland suggested this request be placed on the agenda of a special Board meeting already scheduled for January 14, one day after a Planning Commission meeting. Director Johnson, seconded by Orton, lade a motion to table the request until January 14. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 6-0.
