CITIZENS FROM ROCKCLIFF Dan Ferritor, Rockcliff Drive, stated a group of people from Rockcliff have come to talk about roads. Sue Madison, Bernard Madison, Dan Bennett, and he represent three families that live on Rockcliff. They came to thank the City for an extraordinary job of putting in what must be the finest street in the history of fine streets. The City takes a certain amount of criticism and deserves thanks for a lot of things that are going on. They also wanted to publicly thank McClinton Anchor, the construction company. This was a long job, two and a half months. Ferritor stated he has never seen a group of people more considerate of the inhabitants of the street. They would inform the residents of anything that would affect them. Particularly, John Grober, a foreman of the job, seemed to be everyplace and was always at the job.

OLD BUSINESS AMEND BICYCLES ORDINANCE Mayor Hanna introduced for consideration an ordinance amending Section 73.05 of the Code of Fayetteville to allow the riding of bicycles upon sidewalks running along collector streets and minor and major arterial streets. July 2., 1996. Mayor Hanna stated this ordinance was -left the June 18 Council meeting. on the. second .reading .at Alderman Miller moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Alderman Daniel :seconded... Upon -roll call the motion passed on a vote of 8.to 0. City Attorney Rose read the ordinance for the third time. • Alderman Miller pointed out to the Council that the term "when so designated and marked as a bicycle route" has been added in here. He will soon bring another ordinance to be amended because as of right now it is illegal to mark a sidewalk in Fayetteville. If this is passed tonight, he will bring within the next month an amendment to allow for marking on the sidewalk. The bicycle silhouette and the universal diamond silhouette will be used on. these routes. City Attorney Rose informed. Miller that, we have not actually amended yet. To clearthings up; we need.a motion to add the words "when so designated and marked as a bicycle route" to the -first sentence of the ordinance. Alderman Miller moved to make that amendment. Alderman Young seconded. Upon roll call themotion passed on a vote. of 8 to 0. Mayor Hanna asked for comments fromthe audience. There were none and no further comments from the Council. He called for the vote: Upon roll call, the ordinance passed on a vote of 8.to 0. ORDINANCE 3983 APPEARS ON PAGE OF ORDINANCE BOOK CONDEMNATION Mayor Hanna stated he was asked to table item B of the agenda.. It is just about worked out with the property owner. Part of the signal we are concerned about will be put.on the southeast corner rather than the northeast corner. The City Attorney is talking to the property owner, and it may be worked out so we don't have to do a condemnation. RAZE & REMOVAL ORDINANCES Mayor Hanna stated items C, D, E,.and F are all raze and removal, ordinances. The Council has correspondence from Mike McKimmey, the City inspector, regarding these four, properties. Evidently, all have been addressed satisfactorily. One is still in the process but is pretty well cleared up. The Mayor asked for comments, suggestions, or motions. 283 July 2, 1996 Alderman Schaper stated the Council did not go on tour and the only one he definitely knew about was the one on Hughes, which he concurred is totally gone. Alderman Miller stated he could talk about the ones on Government. 416 is pretty well cleared up. 414 still has a bit of foundation, and there is some debris within the foundation but nothing outside it; it has been cleaned up quite a bit. Mayor Hanna asked for a motion to leave these on the table. Alderman Daniel so moved. Alderman Miller seconded. Alderman Williams suggested taking the ones that have been completely fixed off and tabling the ones that still need to be looked at. Mayor Hanna asked if Williams wanted to remove 1024 Hughes, 113 S. University, and 416 S. Government. Alderman Parker stated he would second this. Mayor Hanna stated we will remove 1, 2, and 4 and leave 3 on the table until the next meeting. Upon roll call, the motion passed on a vote of 8 to 0. AMEND PARKING ORDINANCE Mayor Hanna introduced for consideration an ordinance amending Section 72.99 of the Code of Fayetteville to increase the cost of parking violations to $5 which would rise to $10 if not paid within 72 hours and establishing other penalties for habitual violators. This ordinance was left on the first reading at the June 3 Council meeting. Alderman Miller moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Young seconded. The vote was partially taken, then Alderman Schaper asked if the point of the motion was so the Council could talk about it. Several aldermen, including Miller, responded that it was. City Attorney Rose stated it is on its second reading automatically. He will read the whole thing unless the Council suspends the rules, in which case he would only read the title. Upon roll call, the motion failed on a vote of 5 to 3, with Schaper, Daniel, and Williams voting no. City Attorney Rose read the whole thing for the second time. 284 July 2, 199.6 Ben Mayes,- Administrative Services Director., explained .this ordinance was brought as a resultof several things. One was the' City had conducted a study. which was put, into a. document back .in March, 1994, after a couple of years of hearings, meetings, and study. Secondly, -theFayetteville Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Fayetteville Unlimited group took that study and held their own meetings and put forth recommendations in March, 1995. There were more public hearings in March, 1996,. as a result of gating the lot behind the E. J. Ball Building. This seemed to be the one area that was a consensus of all that, . to increase the fine.' Mayor Hanna asked for comments from the Council. Alderman Miller was not sure he supported raising the $2 to $5. His major concern is people that never pay them. He agreed with .the provisions on people who don't payandaccumulate lots of them -but;was not sure about raising the fine for the guy who misses the meter by a couple of minutes and gets one ticket. Alderman Williams agreed with Miller. We should not raiSe the initial fine of $2 We can, if we want to, increase the penalty up to $8; so if.they don't pay within 72 hours, we are at $10. To make it mote clear, we need to substitute or add between the last two words, "each violation", the word "subsequent." We need --to say "each subsequent violation": where it says "if five ormore violations occur in the same calendar month, an additional fine of. not less $25 nor more than $500 may imposed for each violation." That would seem to imply you can go back to the first violation and he would not be in favor of that. He would be in favor of a substantial fine for every one beyond live violations. Alderman Daniel agreed the initial fine should stay at $2. Alderman Parker agreed with the idea that we do not want to go back and increase the. fines for the earlier tickets but the.subsequent tickets could be raised to a higher level. Alderman Parker relayed to the Council some .thoughts given.tohim by a citizen. The main problem is keeping the parking open for those,who want to come down and utilize the merchants downtown. Often:theproblem arises from..people who work around the'square going out and putting money in the meter every two hours, sometimes getting tickets but often not. An efficient solution would be to treat theentire downtown where we have metered parking like we:do the square, enforcing the two-hour parking limit bymarking the tires. Instead of plugging, the meter they would have` to move their car or risk getting ticketed. If we pulledout the meters altogether, we would be converting .it all to two hour parking. They could chalk .the tires. We would eliminate parking there all day and make provisions off the immediate area for longer.parking. This solution came from folks who work around the square. tF. July 2, 1996 285 Alderman Daniel stated she had also seen this recommendation and we do need to do something about downtown employees using time and space. She would like to see something added to address that. Bob Kelly, Chamber of Commerce, stated he was not here to complain but to give encouragement. There was a very good study done in 1994. He was present to give a historical perspective of what has happened with that. When that report came out, two groups reacted to it: the Chamber of Commerce with their subcommittees and Downtown Fayetteville Unlimited. Both reactions were published and were slightly different. At that time, the Mayor said that until the two groups came together, the City would not do anything. It took a year to get the two groups together with a document that all would agree with. Recommendations were submitted. Kelly provided the Council with copies of these. He also passed out cancelled three cent stamps to illustrate when the City of Fayetteville had a ten cent parking meter and a two dollar fine. The post office has increased 11 times and 6400 since then. Alderman Daniel stated she did not like to think of parking as a fund raiser. She agreed with some of the points in the report. Kelly stated the new meters can receive different coinage. It can be tokens which would encourage merchants to give tokens to customers. The problem is not the customers. It is the owners and employees. It is economics. Alderman Schaper stated this is one package and another is where we would remove the meters completely and do it strictly by time enforcement so it would make it impossible for folks to park all day in what would now be free spaces available for customers. Kelly stated the problem is perception of parking. There is a perception that there is not enough parking. In fact, there are a lot of parking places. What this attempts to do is encourage the permanent parking away from the square. Alderman Parker stated the idea is if they have to get in their car and drive around every two hours, it is enough of an inconvenience. Kevin Crosson, Public Works Director, stated most of the repeat violators are paying $4 a day for parking. The biggest problem is habituals who just pay $4 a day to park. Alderman Schaper stated if we have the provision about the repeat offender, that won't work anymore. It won't be $4 a day. It will go up a whole lot. Ben Mayes pointed out that provision is already in the ordinance. The City Prosecutor has the ability to levy additional fines. 286 July 2, 1996 Alderman Williams stated it says "additional fine of not less than $25 may be imposed.'.' Maybe we need to change that to. -"shall be imposed" and make it mandatory. City Attorney Rose stated you will always have prosecutory discretion. Mayor Hanna stated this is one of the problems that arose years ago. Judges and police and some attorneys did not see this as being as important as other crimes you get fines for and over a period of time started ignoring it. When he first got involved in this, the police chief was concerned that parking laws could be enforced a better way.. They are all good ideas used in different cities. Yet someone will not like it. You just have to arrive at a decision. This is pretty moderate. Bob Kelly stated they were asked to get the two organizations together. These recommendations are slightly watered down from the City's report. Both organizationshave reaffirmed this is the correct direction. It will succeed in freeing up parking spaces around the square and encourage employees to park away from the square. Alderman Schaper commented they are increasing the parking rate for short-term parking, which may influence the decision to shop downtown or the mall. Part of the goal is to encourage downtown as a place to shop and a place to eat. Kelly agreed: The mall has all that parking out front. They never intend to fill it up. It is so you always have in your mind there parking place, even if it is three blocks from the door. The ;perception is it is there. If we can clear the square of owners and employees, there will always be a place there and .it ;won't bother anyone to plop a quarter in to run into the business. The beauty of the meters you have now is that merchants can give a token to customers so when they come back it won'tcost them a thing. Alderman Schaper thought it seemed ironic that they are advocating both a test period of no meters on the square, which would make the square totally free parking, and then just off the square the short term parking would be 25 cents an hour. That does not totally make sense. Kelly stated there was a lot of people who were concerned: whether it would ever work without meters. Alderman Schaper agreed. What we are saying is if we go to strict enforcement of the two hour limit, we clear up thisambiguity that ,you can go out and stuff dimes in a meter and park there all day: We want to discourage that. A mandatory increase in the fines would do that for the repeat offenders. Then we need to provide in 287 July 2, 1996 reasonably convenient areas enough long term meters at a reasonable rate for the folks who work downtown. Kelly said if you want to get them off the square, you'd put a free parking lot somewhere then they would park there. Now it is the reverse. You give them free parking on the square or a reduced rate. What they tried to do was go through the report and come up with a recommendation that would encourage a healthy downtown. Alderman Schaper stated a logical thing would be that passes for the long term lot for employees and owners would be reasonably priced so that buying in is a no-brainer. Crosson stated the City is continually faced with the scenario of people who will buy a monthly parking pass at $20 and still park in front of their business because it is more convenient for them and cheaper in the long run anyway. Alderman Parker stated it looks like the problem is the particular application of prosecutorial discretion in not increasing the fines for subsequent offenses. We may need to redress the language of the statute. City Attorney Rose stated he did not know that there was a problem. He was not aware of anything that was not being prosecuted. He stated he was going to assume that the prosecutor is doing a good job. He would talk with him about that and whether or not he seeks an enhanced penalty for people who receive over five tickets a month. He would be pleased to do that and get back to the Council and have the prosecutor report on what he routinely does. Alderman Williams again stated that if we change the "may" to "shall" it will give our prosecutor more power and make the statute stronger. City Attorney Rose was not sure we don't have that. What we currently have says, ". . . the penalty for each violation of 72.13 in excess of 5 but under 11 in any calendar month shall be a minimum of $25 and a maximum of $500 and the penalty for each violation of 72.13 in excess of 10 in each calendar month shall be a minimum of $50 and a maximum of $500." Answering a question from Alderman Williams, Rose stated he does not know that this has not been enforced. He does not know one way or the other. Ben Mayes stated one case has made it to court, two weeks ago. City Attorney Rose stated this is different than a traffic ticket. Mayes asked if someone is routinely getting tickets and routinely paying them, are you asking the prosecutor to arrest him off the street. His discretion typically comes in once it reaches a summons and makes it to court. If someone gets a ticket once a day July 2, 1996 and pays it, we don't have a reason to go and drag him'off the street and arrest him. Ten dollars a day may make..a statement: City Attorney Rose stated you are talking about an enhanced penalty that has to come directly;frott the prosecutor's office. It is not a ticket you receive. for this. It is the prosecutor. having to issue his own summons and prosecute someone under that law. It is much different than a traffic ticket. He hopes.'his 'prosecutor gives priority to wife beating and Child abuse above whether or nbt someonegets a $5 ticket. - • Crosson stated the ticket writer -is not -able to tell on the street how many violations thatpersonhasfor that month. Alderman Williams stated the University has solved the problem by towing cars. • Alderman Schaper stated the problem Crosson raised is different. The person who regularly gets a coupleof tickets.a day and::pays them is still taking up a:spac'e'we want to .free forshoppers..They are happy to pay $4 a.:day and there is nothing We can do about it. They never hit the provision that says they get an additional -fine because they are never delinquent:. Alderman computer Alderman directed budget. Williams stated it is a bookkeeping situation :and a situation and couid,be handled with the proper technology. Parker stated the revenue generated :by fines could be to pay for that so it would not be burdensome.on.the City Attorney Rose .reiterated it is .very different than a traffic citation. Under the enhanced penalty, you do not receive a traffic ticket. It would take our City Prosecutor determining that certain people had violated this in excess of five or eleven .times. At that time, he would issue a warrant for those people:. They would be arrested. Alderman Williams '-stated. there are lotsof things we can do that affect their -car which would be a strong enforcement tool and we wouldn't be arresting people. City Attorney Rose agreed saying we havethat in our current We have immobilization''of illegally parked vehicles; we impoundment procedures; we have hearings and hearing officers are required under due process-. C. law. have that Mayes state the merchants have repeatedly said they do not want to give the impression that this is a bad place tocome.;,Towing booting and arresting habitual offenders would send the.. wrong message. .We are only tryingto open up parking for retail customers. - 289 July 2, 1996 Alderman Bassett stated there is no perfect solution for this. This comes up periodically. He is very intrigued with the proposal offered by Gary Tucker in which he proposes keeping the tickets at $2 then have a repeat offender bump up. Then he goes on to suggest eliminating the two hour meters all together but we would enforce the two hour limit in the same manner on the square itself. Finally, he proposes we increase the numbers of all day meters in the parking lots for workers. Basset would like to find a way to get rid of all the parking meters downtown. We need to do something and solve this. A three story parking garage downtown would eliminate all the problem. In the long run, discouraging people from coming downtown would be worse than having a parking problem. The towing of cars would have a negative impact. Mayor Hanna asked for comments from the audience. Gary Tucker stated he works downtown and reminded the Council that people who work downtown often shop and eat downtown. He wondered if we are prepared to penalize the rest of the city for a small percentage of people who cause the problem. If we do enforce the two hour limit, the cost would result in a pretty steep nuisance factor and would substantially abuse the system. He advised the Council to be careful of sending the signal that we don't want people to come downtown to work and shop. Mayor Hanna asked for further comments then asked if the Council would like to let this go to the third reading next time if there is no motion now. Alderman Williams agreed with Tucker about being careful not to overreact. He still did not understand why ticket providers could not have two different tickets, one for the $25 fine. This does not say the prosecutor decides there are five or more violations. It says if there have been five or more that's what the fine is. We may not want to say up to $500, which seems extreme; but we could bump it to $25. City Attorney Rose agreed these are good ideas but wondered if we have the capability to have the enforcement folks know who has received more tickets per month. Alderman Williams stated if a ticket is already on a car, the second ticket should be for more. City Attorney Rose stated you can have enhanced penalties for a number of tickets given in any one day and if you have the capabilities it can be done as Williams suggested. Ben Mayes stated the interpretation has always been unpaid violations. 290- July 2, 1996 Alderman Williams stated it .should dust be -violations pure and simple, whether they have been paid or not.-- do not want people. to habitually over -park on the square. Rose stated it would_ be much better if we could do it at the enforcement level. We currently have on the books. enhanced penalties. It is just a matter of working with the enforcement people. He did not hear that the Council wanted anything additional from the prosecutor by way of arrest warrants or anything. Aldermah Schaper said there is a different-iation between tickets =that° are paid and scofflaw tickets: The interpretation.has.been that the additional fines were for scofflaws.. Thesense of the discussion is the additional fines are needed even if people regularly pay those tickets. Mayes stated staff would get back to the Council on that. They. have enforced it to mean unpaid. Mayor Hanna stated this would be left on its second reading.

NEW BUSINESS TOWN CENTER/EXHIBIT HALL PROGRESS REPORT Richard Alderman, of Wittenberg, Deloney & Davidson Architects, brought an update on where we are with the work he's been doing with the A&P Commission on the Town Center. He gave background. There were four goals when this project started: Will this project be used? Can we afford it without a tax increase? Can we provide proper parking to go with it? Can we make it with the proper image of Fayetteville and with a proper relationship to the square? A study has been set up that looks at this project in three phases. The first phase is a market study survey sent all over the region. This study was used to help size the building and tell what should be built to capture the market. About 15,000-18,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space will capture about 65-80 per cent of the type of people we want to come to the facility. That will satisfy most of the people we are after. Second was the design phase, which is where we stand now. He brought with him the design that has been refined from working through this process. It is not finished. It was presented to the A&P Commission as a preliminary design. It is not meant to be the final building. Alderman Williams asked how many square feet is in the Springdale convention center. Mr. Alderman stated he believes it is about 28,000 sq. ft. 3 292 July 2, 1996 Mr. Alderman went on to say the last part is the.feasibility analysis,how much the building willcost and how .muchfinancing. will be needed, how much it costs to maintain and. staff the building. It will tell us if we can afford it.or.not afford.it. Also, it will tell us the economic impact .to Fayetteville. Alderman Schaper asked what the market study showed in terms of use of building. . Mr. Alderman replied there are two different types of uses. There is the out-of-town people related to exhibition and convention type uses. The other group is local use like corporations. .Weddings, Rotary meetings would be included here. We have a very large pool of potential users for this building. Alderman Parker asked if there was any consideration being given to folks parking there now, some sort of alternative parking So when this is built and takes away the parking spaces it won't dust be dumped on the downtown area. Mr. Alderman replied he has determined we need about 250 parking places. There are about 80 there now.. If me had about'250 within the facility, not including all. the parking around,,that is the amount that would take up for those spaces'and'allow-the functions we want in the facility and have extra parking for the area. Alderman Parker asked about a remote lot ,for the folks -parking there now to use when the facility is being built. Mr. Alderman replied this has not been considered at this time. ;. Alderman Young .asked Mr. Alderman to expand on the feasibility study a little more. His concept of a feasibility study is more than asking if we can afford it.. He would ask if 'it will.be.used. In a market study someone will tell you they will come', .but.a feasibility study will analyze it ih light of other convention centers; in town. Mr. Aldermanstated this is exactly what the market study did. 'It said we have convention centers in Hot Springs, Little:Rock, Tulsa, and Joplin. It took those factors:into account regarding -a pool of possible events we could have, other facilities that. are competition. 3 Alderman Young said this would be the fourth convention center in. this immediate area. Mr. Alderman stated this facility is meant toaugment what we.have at the Continuing Education Center 'and the. feasibility study did analyze this. The survey took into consideration where' they could go and what we would have available. It showed that of the pool that's out there, 70% said they would come to Fayetteville and 293 July 2, 1996 make use of our facility. Seventy percent of the events and sixty percent of the corporations said they would come to Fayetteville. We are using those to base the numbers for the feasibility study. We have to design a facility they want to come to and that is economically competitive with the other facilities. Alderman Daniel asked what was offered in the survey. Mr. Alderman replied the survey asked what was wanted. They were told exhibition space, meeting spaces and breakout spaces would meet requirements. The design was tailored to the responses. This facility meets 90% of the survey respondents' needs. Mr. Alderman presented conceptual drawings of the building. He stated it was apparent that the facility had to have a direct connection tothe square and also take advantage of the views. These drawings are a model to run the feasibility study on if the A&P Commission decides to go forward. They are not meant to address details. JEFFERSON SCHOOL/PARK BID WAIVER Mayor Hanna introduced consideration of an ordinance approving a bid waiver to accept bids received by the Fayetteville Public Schools to purchase playground equipment for Jefferson School/Park.
