INFORMATIONAL: State of the City Address February 2001 It is with great pleasure I present to the citizens of Fayetteville our annual State of the City address. 1 am going to focus on the big picture of where we are and where we're headed. I will outline the changes the mayors office has implemented to improve the daily lives of our citizens and increase effectiveness when we spend the taxpayers money. I will also talk about the obstacles we must overcome if we are going to expand our local economy and enhance the quality of life we enjoy. The changes we have made at City Hall range from simple to complex, some taking minutes, others taking months to complete. These are some of the improvements we have initiated. The Mayors Office The administration office is now open during the lunch hour, making it more convenient for citizens to pick up and drop off information and material. We have developed a citizen complaint system that tracks which departments receive the complaints and how well the City resolves them. We've created a Public Affairs Office to handle those complaints, work with City committees and coordinate their efforts, disseminate information, spearhead special projects, and act as liaison with other private and public organizations. We've formed an ad hoc committee to design a first-class City web site to help citizens do everything from join sports teams to pay water bills and to be more informed about City business. We've created a second ad hoc committee that will research what other cities have done to promote communication between neighborhood organizations, citizen groups, and City Hall, gather public input, and develop a plan that will meet the needs of Fayetteville's citizens. In the near future, I will ask the City Council to approve the development of two standing committees. A City Beautification Committee would focus on programs to clean up litter and develop enhancement projects and a Fayetteville Arts Council that would promote a stronger music, art, literary, and film presence. We are expanding the physical space of the City Clerk's Office and the Business Office to accommodate those offices' needs and to better serve the public. We are building working relationships with the University of Arkansas, the Arkansas Highway and "Transportation Department, the Arkansas Parks and Tourism Department, Washington County, and the Fayetteville Public Schools. By fall, we should see the completion of a turn lane added to Highway 45 to ease traffic congestion in front of McNair and Vandergriff schools. We have increased the involvement of Division heads and staff members for the purpose of better communication and cooperation between departments. By the first of April, we hope to extend our public transportation system into other areas of town and reduce per-passenger costs. We are working with the Police Department and the neighbors of Fiesta Square Shopping Center to resolve the problems associated with that parking lot on Friday and Saturday nights. Parks and Recreation Department We are restructuring the Parks & Recreation, Public Lands Maintenance, and Sidewalk and Trails Maintenance division to promote coordination and cooperation and eliminate duplication of effort and expense and, at the same time, expand our landscaping and beautification efforts. We are separating trails and sidewalks into two coordinated areas with emphasis on increased productivity. This will require the addition of a Trails Designer/Coordinator. The added cost for this position will be offset by expediting the use of time-sensitive grant money and doing more trail design work and construction oversight in-house. Planning Department We have started requiring tree easements as part of the Tree Preservation Plan for new subdivisions and large-scale developments. We are providing zoning maps, the master street plan, and future land use planning information on the Fayetteville web page " faygis.org". We have begun notifying neighborhood organizations and citizen groups of all Planning Commission agendas. We have developed a bicycle parking rack ordinance to encourage alternative modes of transportation. We have begun working with the Ozark Regional Land Trust to show conservation easements on the Future Land Use Plan and will be cooperating with them on future easements. We will create a Tree and Trails Task Force to identify areas for natural resource preservation and trail opportunities. We are relocating the Tree and Landscape Administrator to the Planning Division to provide better review during pre-application conferences, to inform potential developers of preservation requirements, and coordinate between other City divisions that review development. Engineering Department In order to resolve our biggest problem in the Engineering Department, we have assigned a second staff engineer and plan to hire one additional staff engineer to help reduce the enormous backlog in the permitting and plan review process. Costs will be offset by doing more engineering work in-house after that backlog has been reduced. We have ended the practice of engineering projects that are not funded, or otherwise not supported, to expedite the completion of projects that are funded or time sensitive. To keep up with E.P.A. regulations and to further speed the design review process we will begin advertising to fill the vacant storm water engineering position. Research and Technology We are reexamining our R and T Park status for the purpose of finding the best, most efficient way to put Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas on the technology map by capitalizing on our under-recognized potential. We are beginning to assess the needs of local research and technology companies that would like to stay in Fayetteville but find our existing support infrastructure inadequate. You would be surprised at how many there are. We are introducing the cutting-edge research capabilities of the University to technology companies, government agencies, and State and Federal officials. This will help us continue accelerating the momentum that has developed since the City and University teamed up for our common good. This is, by no means, a complete list of the changes and improvements we have made in the first six weeks of this new administration and none of this could have been accomplished without the help and the insight of the excellent staff we have in City Hall. After most of these changes have settled in and we begin realizing the fruits of our efforts, we can set our sights on the next round of improvements that will help Fayetteville become the city we know it can be. While there is much to be encouraged and excited about when contemplating our future, we have to be aware of one serious problem on the horizon: Funding. All the changes we are implementing are done with the goal of increasing efficiency while decreasing costs. But there are some factors outside our control, such as skyrocketing fuel and materials costs, competition for higher salaries, and increased insurance premiums. Unfortunately, these increased costs are not accompanied by increased revenue. Our sales tax collection is projected to remain relatively Flat. Our General Fund Balance stands at about $8 million. A rule of thumb standard suggest we should keep a Reserve Balance of about $4 to $5 million, or about two months of operating costs. This year we will dip into our Reserve Balance by about $680,000. This is projected to increase to about $2.0 million by 2003 . While we may be in good shape now, this trend cannot continue. This is compounded by the fact we have some enormously expensive projects in our near future, such as our waste water expansion expected to cost $90 to $ 105 million, and police and fire staffing needs projected at $ 1 .8 million by 2003 . This means we have to reach a consensus concerning the priority of needed projects and how we are going to raise the funds to pay for them. My office will continue to look for ways to cut costs without sacrificing service, but as a Council, we will have to look closely at all projects that come before us. In closing, there is one more point I would like to add that's just as important as anything else we could talk about. If this government is going to be effective in helping Fayetteville unfold according to our potential, we are all going to have to work together for the good of our community and the only way to accomplish this task is to lead by example. While we do not have to agree with everyone all the time, we can discuss our differences in ways that do not create unnecessary divisiveness and controversy. Before we present a proposal that will require public support, such as a tax to pay for a new waste water treatment system, we have to show the community that we can transcend the politics of personality and work together for the good of our City. My office has extended the hand of partnership to the community and the positive response has been gratifying. We are already making progress toward healing old wounds and resolving old differences. It's up to those of us on this Council to extend the hand of partnership to each other and to the entire community and in doing so, we will be able to start working in earnest for the changes that the people of Fayetteville want and deserve.

NEW BUSINESS PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD: An ordinance approving an amendment to the Code of Fayetteville Section 33 .018 requiring the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to be composed of eight members appointed by the City Council. Mr. Rose read the ordinance. Alderman Thiel: When I was on the Parks Board, this was one of the last things that we addressed. We always found that it was important that we had members that had different areas of interest and expertise and this current ordinance kind of defeats that idea by requiring that we have members from the Youth Center. It certainly doesn't say that they can' t be members of the Youth Center, but by making it a requirement, it sometimes defeats the idea of us having a diverse group of Park Board members. Also, the Youth Center does not have the same requirement — there is not a requirement on the Youth Center Board to have a Parks member on that Board. Alderman Zurcher: Is that basically the only change that is proposed with this? Alderman Thiel: That is the only change. It's just that right now the ordinance requires two Youth Center members. City Council Mecbng Minu16 rcbn ry 20, 2001 Page 3 of 15 Alderman Trumbo: It is my understanding that the Youth Center has offered a position on their board to the Parks staff. I don' t know if they have accepted it. Just to keep the communications open. I understand the Youth Center has reciprocated in offering board membership on the Youth Center Board . Alderman Thiel : But it 's not mandated, whereas this would remain a mandate. I think there' s nothing wrong with a Youth Center Board member being on the Parks Board but I just think it is ill advised to make it mandatory. Mr. Wade Coldwell, Chairman of the Parks Board : We have talked about this and under the current situation, since we do not have current representation on the Youth Center Board, and the funds are donated to the Youth Center from the City, we don' t think there is reciprocity there. 1 think this change would be in the best interest ofeverybody involved. One thing we do want to do is keep the communication open and we have talked about that with annual meetings. A discussion followed on the ordinance. Alderman Santos moved to suspend the rules and move to the second reading. Alderman Davis seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Race read the ordinance. Alderman Santos moved to suspend the rules and move to the third and final reading. Alderman Zurcher seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Race read the ordinance.

We are still researching the project, ridership and routes. Wedo want to expand our public transportation program as much as we can. Alderman "Lurcher.

RZ 98-22 : An ordinance approving an amendment to the Bill of Assurance to provide for the use of a metal fence on that property described in RZ 98-22, approved in Ordinance 4175 and amended in Ordinance 4184, submitted by Richard Osborne on behalf of Littlefield Investment Company. Mr. Rose read the ordinance. Alderman Thiel asked if Planning Director Tim Conklin had any comments. Mr. Conklin told the Council that the applicant was present and that he had submitted a site plan showing the fence, and some photographs of a fence of the same type that is currently on Huntsville Road. This information is in the Council packet. Alderman Reynolds: As Alderman in Ward 1 I have had no objections. Alderman Thiel: The Planning Commission did recommend a wood fence and looking back at the City Council minutes of August 3 , 1999, 1 notice it was not a unanimous decision. What is the staff recommendation? Tim Conklin, Planning: The item passed at the City Council meeting with a 5-4-0 vote. There was some controversy with regard to this rezoning. They had requested C-2, staff recommended denial. From the Planning Commission, it was appealed to the City Council, at that time the applicant did offer a Bill of Assurance. The Bill of Assurance did state that he would keep the vehicles behind a six-foot high wood fence. There was some misunderstanding between the staff and applicant with the intent of that Bill of Assurance. We were trying to keep the cars he was working on screened from the residential neighborhood to the north. The applicant did not understand that the Bill of Assurance stated a six foot high wood privacy fence. Since the rezoning passed, a metal fence was installed. I contacted Mr. Johnson and explained to him that legally we have a Bill of Assurance that I can not ignore which requires a six-foot high wood fence. The applicant is going to ask the City Council to allow the metal fence to remain on Huntsville Road and that he be allowed to have a metal fence on Happy Hollow. My recommendation is to allow him to have the metal fence on City Cuurwrl Mttymg MIOUl6 February 2U. 2001 Page 5 of 15 Huntsville Road, but 1 do believe that a wood board fence, six-foot high is more appropriate on Happy Hollow Road, since it does adjoin residential to the north. It was clear to me that a wood fence was required in the Bill of Assurance, but since a metal fence has been installed it does not look that bad and it kind of fits in with the theme of the old time gas station. The only concern 1 have is the single family home that is adjacent to this property. It would be more in character with the residential neighborhood to have a wood board fence. The whole issue of the rezoning at the time was when we rezoned it to C-2 it allowed car sales which is what he intends to do. Used car lots are not something we encourage in Fayetteville next to single-family homes; therefore staff was trying to make sure it was compatible with the residential neighborhood to the north. Alderman 'rrumbo: I don' t have a problem with the ordinance; the owner has put a lot of sweat and equity into fixing up the property. Alderman Thiel: 1 don't have a problem with leaving what he has already built. 1 would like to sec: the wooden fence on the Happy Hollow side. How would we change this to reflect that requirement? Mr. Rose: We would have to have a new Bill of Assurance. A discussion tbllowed on a new Bill of Assurance. Mr. Conklin : The City cannot ask the owner for a Bill of Assurance, he has to offer that . He did offer one and signed the Bill of Assurance that stated he was going to build a wood board fence on Happy Hollow and on Iluntsville Road. Unfortunately, he did not build a wood fence along Huntsvil lc Road. This causes me some concern knowing that the rezoning was subject to that Bill of Assurance and now we have a Bill of Assurance that is not being complied with. 1 thought it was my duty to bring that forward to the City Council because you do rely on Bill of Assurance' s. When an applicant promises you something 1 think they should keep their promises. lam okay with the metal fence on Huntsville Road. I do believe that on the adjacent property to the north, which contains a single-family home, a wood board fence six feet high that would typically be found in a residential area would be more appropriate. Mr. Clem Johnson, property owner: The main thing that bothers me is to have two types of fences on the same property. 1 think the metal fence is attractive and 1 have put a lot ofeffort into it and its well built. Wood fences are nice when they are first built, but they age and change and they require a lot more maintenance. The misunderstanding was I keyed on the word "privacy" and not on the word '.wood". I built a privacy fence that is more in flavor with a nostalgic old gas station. 1 do not want a different type offence on the other side. I have already talked to my neighbors and they have no problem with anything 1 am doing. I think 1 have really done a good job out there so far. I would like to change the Bill of Assurance and go with a complete metal fence. Alderman Reynolds : I made a trip out to the property. I le has done a great improvement to that property. What he has done 1 am sure is more expensive than a wooden fence. If the neighbors have no problem with it, I think it looks nice and 1 have no problem with it. • . City Council Meeting Minutes February 20, 2001 Page 6 of 15 Alderman Thiel: I tend to agree with you. My concern is that we don't start making a habit of not enforcing these Bills of Assurance. But since there are no problems and the neighbors haven't complained, I don't have any problem with it. Alderman Young: One of the aspects of enforcing these is exactly what Mr. Conklin did. I would like to thank him for bringing this to our attention. After it is brought to our attention then we have to decide what to do. Alderman Reynolds: Tim did an excellent job. Alderman Zurcher agreed that the Council does not want to see a Bill of Assurance ignored. He said a couple had been brought to his attention but the situations were different. This issue has to do with materials, not a situation where what was promised did not happen Alderman Jordan also agreed that the Council cannot get into the habit of not enforcing Bills of Assurance. But in this case, he felt the fence looked very nice A discussion followed regarding this issue. Mr. Conklin : Keep in mind, the reason we were requiring the fence is to screen the vehicles that will be sitting behind it. Typically in a C- I zone you wouldn't have a need for this type of fence. That is why we are requiring a fence. Alderman Trumbo moved to suspend the rules and move to the second reading. Alderman Zurcher seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rose read the ordinance. Mr. Geary Lowery, a resident, questioned the legal ramifications of a Bill of Assurance without it being filed (dated and stamped) at the Circuit Clerk's office. He believes it is pretty useless and cannot be enforced. He spoke of instances of Bills of Assurance he felt had not been adhered to and which the City had not enforced. Mr. Rose: They do have to be recorded. About the only way we have of enforcing a Bill of Assurance, if somebody won't do it voluntarily, is to take them to court. It is not a criminal or a summary proceeding; we would probably get a mandatory injunction. It is a lengthy and expensive process, but it can be done. To my knowledge that is the only way that you can enforce it. Mr. Lowery: Why doesn't the City make an ordinance where it's mandatory that every Bill of Assurance is recorded at the County Clerk' s office? Mr. Rose: Yes, I think they probably should be recorded. I am not sure the one you have before you tonight would be any more enforceable if it were recorded. There is no reason why we could not pass • • City Council Mmung Minutes February 20, 2001 Pagc 7 of 15 an ordinance requiring all Bills of Assurance to be recorded. Alderman Trumbo moved to suspend the rules and move to the third and final reading. Alderman Zurcher seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rose read the ordinance. Mayor Coody asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed unanimously. ORDINANCE 4192 AS RECORDED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK, VA 01 - 1 : An ordinance approving a vacation request VA 01 - 1 , submitted by Steve Winkler for property located east of 607 Peach. The property is zoned R- 1 , Low Density Residential and contains approximately 0.08 acres. The request is to vacate the street right-of-way. Mr. Rose read rhe ordinance. Mr. Bunn : We have scheduled the maintenance on the road ditch there. We looked at the situation along the unopened street and feel what the applicant was talking about in terms of making a ditch there would work. 1 do not know if it will solve the gentleman's problem one house down or not, but it would certainly help. Alderman Reynolds : What bothers me on this project is when we met on site and we spoke to Mr. Winkler he had agreed it would take about two hours to cut a ditch and run the water off. This would solve the problems to the west. Before we left he had changed his mind and did not want to sign an agreement that he would cut the ditch and help his neighbors. He wanted the City to give him twenty-foot of property and the City cut the ditch too. I feel like if we are going to give up twenty foot of property then we need to get something from Mr. Winkler in the way of aid for his neighbors. 1 am in doubt of giving him twenty fbot without him putting a little effort into it. Alderman Thiel : What concerns me is us keeping the utility easement, because if there is further flooding we are going to be responsible for it. 1 am not sure if we really wanted or needed that utility easement. Mr. Bunn: We want the utility easement; the question was whether to also designate that as a drainage easement. I think if we put a ditch there then we would probably want to go ahead and make it a drainage easement also. Alderman Thiel: 1 agreed with Mr. Reynolds that if we are going to do that, why abandon the street . We arejust basically cutting ourselves off from that street. If we are going to keep the utility and drainage easement and be responsible for maintaining that, then 1 don't see any reason to abandon the street. Alderman Reynolds: If we arc going to be responsible for that easement and that ditch, then 1 don't • City Council Meeting Minutes C February 20, 2001 Page 8 of 15 think we have any reason to give up the street, or give up 20 foot of property. Alderman Santos : We have a staff recommendation and a 9-0 Planning Commission decision to vacate this? Mr. Conklin : Yes we do. The issue came up at Planning Commission from the resident to the west down the hill with regard to drainage. The big concern was if we do vacate this street right-of-way that the city would not have the ability to go in there and take care of the drainage. He is not opposed to vacating the right-of-way but he is concerned about the drainage issue. Alderman Santos : What about the lots to the east? Are these R- 1 lots that we are going to land lock? Mr. Conklin: They do have frontage currently on Peach. They would have to comply with our zoning ordinance with regard to lot area and lot frontage when they come in for a building permit. A discussion followed on the subdivision itself. Marvin Freeman, 2856 South School: Mr. Freeman said his property joins Peach Street. He commended the Planning Commission and City Council for coming out and viewing the property and speaking to both him and Mr. Winkler. He discussed the problem he is having with the water running down the hill and washing sand and gravel onto his property in great amounts. He says he has had water in his house 3 or 4 inches deep. He said he has replaced all the carpet and walls in his house twice. He further stated that he does not have any problems with Mr. Winkler or any of his neighbors but feels if the City abandons the street and no drainage ditches are cut through, he will continue to have the same problem. A discussion followed on the ordinance. The ordinance was left on the first reading. AD 00-45: An ordinance approving Administrative Request, AD 00-45, as submitted by Laura Kelly on behalf of the Fayetteville Sidewalk and Trail Committee for Bike Parking Ordinance. Mr. Rose read the ordinance. Alderman Young: This ordinance was presented to the Ordinance Review Committee and we made just a couple of minor changes to it and gave it to Jerry to put together. We have just received the ordinance tonight and I have skimmed through it. It appears the changes have been made. Alderman Davis: I looked at it also and the changes are in the ordinance. This originally started a year ago in May through the Sidewalk and Trails Committee. Laura Kelly is the one who helped put all this together and I would like to compliment her on all the work that she has done through that committee to bring this forward. It has also been through the Planning Commission, as well as Ordinance Review.
