BOARD COMMITTEES Mayor Johnson asked Directors to notify her of their preferences for service on Board committees.

Advertising and Promotion Commission and the Nomination Committee remaining intact. Hess proposed the Solid Waste and Wastewater Treatment committees be abolished, because of the existence of the Northwest Arkansas Resource Recovery Authority and the fact that the Wastewater Treatment Committee no longer needs to hold meetings. • 3 3.1 3.2 x.3.3 3.4 3.5 - 3.7 3.8 4 January 6, 1987 4.1 Director Lancaster suggested the Board take this proposal under advisement and act on it at the next Board meeting.

It was decided that a "committee of the whole" meeting would be scheduled to discuss the Board committee structure on Wednesday, January 14. APPOINTMENTS 4.2 Mayor Johnson asked the Board to ratify the appointment of Janet Richardson to the Fayetteville Housing Authority Board. 4.3 Director Bumpass, seconded by Martin, made a motion to ratify the appointment. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. REZONING 4.4 Mayor Johnson introduced an ordinance of Highway 16 West, about 500 feet "Agricultural" to R-0 "Residential Planning Commission recommended the explained this was tabled at the last Planning Commission minutes. rezoning 9.26 acres located south east of Rupple Road, from A-1 Office". Johnson reported the rezoning by an 8-0 vote. She Board meeting, pending receipt of 4.5 The City Attorney informed the Board the ordinance had been read three times at the last Board meeting. 4.6 Director Bumpass, seconded by Lancaster, made a motion to amend the ordinance to be in line with the recommendation of Planning Consultant Larry wood, to rezone a portion of the property to line up with the southern boundary of two R-0 zoned properties east of this parcel. 4,7 Director Martin expressed opposition, stating he supported the Planning Commission's recommendation. Martin commented that chopping the property in two would create an island inaccessible from the road 4.8 Director Johnson asked if anyone present wished to speak in favor of or against the rezoning. 4.9 In answer to questions from Director Hess, Ronald for the petitioner, Airways Freight Corporation) plans to build a small, approximately 80' x 60' Woodruff said plans have not yet been made as to would be located. He said the petitioner wishes parcel rezoned. Woodruff (speaking stated there were , office building. where the building to have the entire 1 • • January 6, 1987 Director Bumpass stated he would reconsider if there were a development scheme for the property, and he noted the plans as of now are for a 5,000 square foot building on five acres. Woodruff commented that the Board was using the zoning as a setback requirement, and he asked if the Board's intent in keeping part of the property "Agricultural" was to prevent the owner from building on that part of the property. Bumpass noted that the Planning Consultant's recommendation was for the remainder of the property to be R-1 if requested. Director Hess said he wished to maintain some consistency. He said he thought, if the entire property were rezoned to R-0, the Board would be committing themselves to increase the southern boundary of the other R- 0 zoned properties. Hess said R-1 zoning on the back of the lot would allow the owner to build residential structures. Director Martin asked Directors Bumpass and Hess if there were new standards which indicate conformity, of which the Planning Commission was not aware, or if the Board was trying to introduce such a standard at this time. Director Bumpass stated he was leaning more towards the recommendation of the Planning Consultant. Director Lancaster commented that the owner can always come back at a later date and request rezoning for the back of the parcel. Lancaster stated he would like to keep the whole area in conformity with the Land Use Plan. Director Marinoni stated he did not think the owner needed as much R-0 zoned property as he is requesting for his purposes. He said he thought the R-0 property to the east had set a precedent, and that 600 feet of R-0 zoning was adequate. Upon roll call, the amendment passed, 5-2, with. Directors Martin and Kelley voting in the minority. Upon roll call, the ordinance passed, 5-2, with Directors Martin and Kelley voting in the minority. ORDINANCE NO. 3235 APPEARS ON PAGE / 0 7 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTIONS BOOK )00V SUBDIVISION & LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Planning Commission Chairman Ernest Jacks stated a draft of proposed subdivision and large scale development regulations were presented to the Board for a "sounding out" of the Board's view, to see if the Board agrees with the substance of the regulations. Director Bumpass stated it might be appropriate for the revisions to be reviewed by a Board committee, with Commissioner Jacks in attendance, • 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 5.8 5.9 6 January 6, 1987 so that the changes can be explained to the Board item by item. Mayor Johnson commented that she hated for the Board to discuss this now if some members of the Board have not yet reviewed the material. She suggested this item be taken up next Wednesday at the Board committee meeting. [Note: It was decided at a later point in the meeting that this item would not be taken up at the committee meeting, but would be deferred until a later time.) 6.1 In answer to a question from Director Hess, Public Works Director Burch stated the staff was currently reviewing the material now and plan to meet with some of the engineers involved and with Commissioner Jacks. ALCOHOL SALES RESTRICTION 6.2 Mayor Johnson introduced an ordinance amending the City Code to restrict the sale of alcoholic beverages for off -premise consumption to retail liquor stores. 6.3 The City Attorney commented that this ordinance was requested by the City Board. He read the ordinance for the first time. Director Bumpass, seconded by Hess, made a motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on its second reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. The ordinance was read for the second time. Director Bumpass, seconded by Hess, made a motion to further suspend the rules and place the ordinance on its third and final reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. The ordinance was read for the third time. 6.4 Director Martin commented that the Board had already passed an ordinance imposing a severe financial penalty upon minors attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages. He asked what effect the proposed ordinance would have on minors purchasing alcoholic beverages and what evidence there is that it would reduce consumption of alcohol by minors. The City Attorney responded that this was a factual interpretation for the Board to make. He said the basis for the evidence would be public comments made by Directors proposing the ordinance. Director Lancaster suggested the wording of the ordinance might be changed from "the Board of Directors has determined that the issuance of such permits would increase the consumption of alcoholic beverages..." to "It is the opinion of the Board of Directors...". The City Attorney pointed out this was a draft ordinance submitted for discussion and is subject to amendment. 6.5 Director Martin asked what other counties in the State of Arkansas have determined that the issuance of such permits would increase consumption, and what other counties prohibit sales of beer and wine at retail establishments. Director Bumpass said he thought there were probably 40 "dry" counties in the State. 1 1 n January 6, 1987 Director Lancaster pointed out that when Fayetteville adopted an ordinance imposing a 2:00 a.m. closing time for private clubs, there were no statistics to justify the ordinance, but since that time the State has adopted a similar ordinance. Director Kelley stated there were no other "wet" counties in the State which prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in retail grocery stores. Kelley said he contacted the Alcohol Research Information Service in Lansing, Michigan whose research projects the consumption of minors can be increased by about 25% if such sales are permitted. 7.1 7.2 Director Marinoni stated he thought Fayetteville was a pioneer in 7.3 adopting the recent ordinance making it unlawful for minors to attempt to buy alcohol, and this ordinance would go further in that direction. Marinoni said the 22 existing outlets for alcoholic beverages in Fayetteville should be adequate. He said it was brought to his attention that the proposal by the "7-11" stores has been submitted to the Alcoholic Beverage Control and will be heard on January 21. He said the passage of the ordinance now would be timely and, in his opinion, necessary. Director Bumpass said he was of the opinion that "enough is enough" and if, in fact, the stores in question receive permits, he thought every place that sells milk will be selling beer. Director Martin said he thought the information Director Kelley had provided was helpful because, when the Board passes an ordinance that is going to significantly limit the economic rights of some merchants, there should be a fairly good reason for it other than intuition. Martin said he thought the staff should be providing such information rather than the Directors. Upon roll call, the ordinance passed, 7-0. ORDINANCE NO. 3236 APPEARS ON PAGE /Q i OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK xKIV , SANITATION RATES The Mayor introduced an ordinance amending the City Code to increase sanitation rates. Johnson told the Board the staff had proposed two alternative schedules for implementing increased rates. Administrative Services Director Linebaugh explained both alternatives would result in the same total revenues being collected over the same time period. He said Alternative 1 has a large initial increase of $1.90 per household with no other increase for four years - Alternative 2 has several rate increases throughout the years - and both alternatives result in rates in 1993 of about $11.00 per household. He 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7 7.8 7 8 January 6, 1987 pointed out that if the solid waste plant brings in more tonnage than expected the rates could be lowered in 1992 or 1993. Linebaugh said the schedules were designed based on the fact that there are to be significant cutbacks in the sanitation work force and trucks. 8.1 In answer to a question from Director Hess, Linebaugh explained that revenues would be invested to build up approximately $3 million. Director Hess asked if more returns would be yielded on the investment if a larger amount of revenue is collected in the early years. Linebaugh said that more interest income would be generated by the use of Alternative 1. 8.2 In answer to a question from Director Martin, Linebaugh said there was no urgency to pass the ordinance now. Martin pointed out there had been a question raised concerning the environmental acceptability of the present site for the solid waste facility. Martin said he was reluctant to proceed with any continued affirmation of the project because of this and moved to table the matter until there has been a response from the project engineers on the environmental acceptability of the site. Director Bumpass seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. UNSAFE STRUCTURE 8.3 The Mayor introduced an ordinance ordering the razing and removal of an unsafe structure located at 1102 South Dunn. 8.4 The City Attorney read the ordinance for the first time. Director Lancaster, seconded by Bumpass, made a motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on its second reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. The ordinance was read for the second time. 8.5 Director Bumpass asked if there had been any personal contact with the property owner. City Code Inspector Steve Johnson said that notice was sent to the last known address but was returned marked "address unknown". He added that a copy of the violation notice was posted on the property. He told Director Bumpass he did not know how long it had been since the structure had been inhabited. Director Bumpass asked if there was a informal policy of trying to search for an owner before proceeding with the ordinance. 8.6 Mayor Johnson said she noticed the property was listed for sale with a realty company in Rogers. She said she called the company and was told they did not know where to locate the owner. Director Bumpass suggested it might be appropriate to send a notice to the realty company. 8.7 Director Lancaster suggested the ordinance be left on its second reading until the next meeting. Director Bumpass agreed and suggested 1 January 6, 1987 the staff contact the real estate company and try to make some personal contact with the owner, to inform him that action will be taken at the next meeting. The ordinance was left on second reading. Mayor Johnson pointed out that the violation notice indicates this as a violation of the Sign Code and she suggested this be corrected. SHELTER LEASE The Mayor introduced a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an extension to a lease agreement between the City and the Project for Victims of Family Violence, Inc., for the shelter facility. She explained the original lease was for a two-year period with an automatic extension for another term, which extension expired on September 1, 1986. Director Hess, seconded by Marinoni, made a motion to approve the resolution. Director Hess stated he assumed the lease would be for two years, with a two-year option. Linda Brown, Project Director, said the lease appeared to her to renew automatically. Community Development Director Carlisle stated that the City Attorney had told her the lease must be renewed every two years unless the lessee or lessor agrees to terminate the lease. Brown thanked the Board for placing the Shelter second on its list for Community Development Block Grant funding for 1987. the Shelter had housed 395 residents in 1985 and 498 residents priority She said in 1986.

He asked how many persons, out of a total of 87 involved, had come to an agreement with the City on easements. He said the City is asking for 20 feet of his property, but is only asking for 10 feet from the adjoining properties. 10.3 Community Development Director Carlisle said the staff was in the midst of negotiations with Parish and therefore his name was not included among the 14 tracts under consideration. 10.4 Parish said he had talked with the project engineers who he stated could not give him the information he requested. He expressed concern about trees which might be removed as a result of the project. He admitted many of the houses in his neighborhood have flooding problems, but stated his property was not located in the flood plain. He said he understood the necessity for ditches in the lower parts but didn't understand why his property was part of the project. 10.5 The City Attorney suggested that, since an easement appears to be needed across Mr. Parish's property, perhaps a meeting could be scheduled with the engineers, and City staff, to answer The City Attorney asked Mr. Carlisle's office regarding a Parish, questions and come to some agreement.

Board tour, the Directors view the project site. stated that prices being 10.8 Dan Hudspeth, owner of property on Lawson Street, said he thought the channelization would benefit the neighborhood. He said he settled with the City on one piece of property on Holly Street. Hudspeth said the City wishes to take about 1/3 of this lot and a large portion of trees and it appeared to him the compensation being offered was not what it ought to be. 10.9 Fayne Gibson, owner of two pieces of property in the area, said he had settled on one piece of property but not on the other, which he said was a corner lot for which he was offered $550. He said the City wishes to remove shade trees and the amount to be taken would destroy the lot. He said practically no damage was done to the other lot for which he was offered $350. Director Hess asked Mr. Gibson if he had a 1 4 January 6, 1987 figure in mind which he thought would be equitable. Gibson replied that the lot measured 90' x 140' and is probably worth $5,000. He stated the City wishes to take about a third of the lot and he thought $1,800 would be fair. Hess suggested Gibson and the others with complaints meet with the staff and negotiate. Director Bumpass asked Hudspeth what price he thought would be fair. Mr. Hudspeth stated he had submitted that information to Sandra Carlisle. Director Kelley said he thought it would be a good idea for the Directors to visit the project area on Board tour and make their own assessments of property values, to be in a better position to discuss the condemnation of these properties. Director Hess encouraged the staff to meet with those persons who spoke at this meeting, and to re -contact the remainder of the persons on the list. He said the cost of condemnation may be in excess of the cost of settling the differences with the property owners. Director Lancaster made a motion to table this item until the next meeting and until the Directors, Ms. Carlisle and the project engineer can view the properties during the Board tour. Director Bumpass suggested the contractor be invited along on the tour. Director Martin asked if this meant that henceforth the Board would be responsible for negotiating easements. He stated the staff was paid to do this work and he did not want to be put in a position of viewing property and making a professional appraisal of its worth. He added that this was not his responsibility. Director Lancaster said that, with Director Martin's comments in mind, he wished to withdraw his motion. Kelley said he was concerned that there may be inconsistencies in the appraisal process, indicating that there may be like properties which have been unequally bid. He added that he did not want to get in a position of taking over staff responsibilities in negotiating with land owners. • Sandra Carlisle reminded the Board that there is very little negotiation possible in dealing with federal funds. She said the appraisals were done by Associated Appraisers. Director Hess said appraising is not an extremely scientific business and different appraisals can be obtained from different appraisers. He said the City may end up spending more to proceed with condemnations than they will spend trying to adjudicate compromises. The City Attorney noted that well over 90% of the condemnation cases filed by the City are settled out of court, thatthe purpose of initiating eminent domain actions is to get the project started on schedule. Director Kelley, seconded by Bumpass, made a motion to table the resolution. upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. 11.2 11.3 11.4 11.5 11.6 11.7 11 12 UTILITY EASEMENT January 6, 1987 12.1 The Mayor introduced a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to grant a 20' utility easement and a 20' temporary construction easement, on City property, to the City of Fayetteville, for sewer line improvements. 12.2 Director Bumpass, seconded by Marinoni. spade a motion to approve the resolution.

City Manager Grimes explained $39,000 would be included in the 1987 budget for this expense. In answer to a question from Director Bumpass, Grimes said this project would be done in three phases - engineering to be done in 1987, rights-of-way acquisition and bridge construction in 1988, and completion of street construction in 1989. He said the project was part of the Transportation Improvement Plan and was on the City's 1986 street priority list. 12.4 Director Bumpass, seconded by Martin, made a motion to authorize the expenditure. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 7-0. CITIZEN COMMITTEE APPLICATION FORM 12.5 The Mayor introduced consideration of approval of revisions to the citizen committee application form. 12.6 Director Marinoni asked if the residency requirement was new. It was explained that this requirement is now a formal policy but is currently not reflected on the application form. 12.7 Director Martin expressed no objections to the form but expressed his objection to the requirement that applicants be residents of the corporate limits of Fayetteville, particularly as this would apply to the Planning Commission. Martin commented that the Planning Commission has substantial jurisdiction over the "growth area" outside the corporate limits. Martin said he would vote against the form because it incorporates the policy. 1 January 6, 1987 Director Sampans, seconded by Hess, made a motion to approve the application form. Upon roll call, the motion passed, 6-1, with Martin voting in the minority. PETITION REGARDING CABLE SYSTEM Mayor Johnson stated a petition had been filed regarding the Warner Cable television system and she asked that this be submitted to the citizen's task force soon to be formed.

Department Director Burch, in answer to a question from Director Bumpass, stated the staff would prefer to have more time to review the Subdivision regulations. It was decided that consideration of the Subdivision regulations would not be take place at the committee meeting but would be deferred until another time.

D. CARDS January 6, 1987 14.1 The Mayor said she thought the Board had decided at the last meeting that all City employees should wear identification cards, including those working in City Hall. Director Bumpass agreed. The Mayor asked that the minutes be changed to clarify this fact. 14.2 Director Lancaster stated the Board might be going a little bit far, commenting that an employee digging a ditch may not need to wear identification, although a supervisor talking to a citizen might need to do so. 14.3 Administrative Services Director Linebaugh explained the staff's proposal was for a card to be made for every employee but the intent was not for every employee to wear one, but for some employees to carry a card in their wallet for when it is needed. MINUTES 14.4 The minutes of the December 16 meeting were approved with the following change: 14.5 461.1 Add at the end of the last sentence "...to wear identification cards."
