Sarah Lewis has been on the Council four years, Bobby Ferrell eight years and Brenda Boudreaux twelve years. Their service has been excellent for this Council. We passed a lot of ground breaking legislation the last twelve years. These three Council members along with this Council faced down probably the worse natural disaster this city has ever seen. This Council probably saw the worse recession since the depression. This Council passed the first balanced budget that I can remember since I have been an elected official. This Council passed the streamside protection ordinance, the first one in the State of Arkansas. These Aldermen were very important in those decisions. They have been a great service to this city. I will and I can speak for the rest of the Council, the staff and the citizens, we will certainly miss you. We wish you well. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 aocessfayetteville.org Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDD/TTY (479) 521-1316 City Council Meeting Minutes December 18, 2012 Page 2 of 15 Alderman Boudreaux: It has been an absolute pleasure and honor to serve the citizens of Fayetteville for the past twelve years.

We want to thank you for the rain gardens that you allowed us to install this year. We planted trees along creeks and streams. We are looking forward to our sixth year in March.

Ordinance 5552 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk C & L Landfill Site: A resolution to place deed restrictions in the title to city property that was the C & L Landfill site to comply with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality landfill closure regulations. Connie Edmonston, Director of Parks and Recreation gave a brief description of the deed restrictions. City Attorney Kit Williams: When we acquired this landfill, which has City of Fayetteville municipal waste in it, the landfill was studied. ADEQ looked at it and saw that it did not have any bad stuff in it but that the cap that had been put on was not a very good cap and that another cap needed to be put on. ADEQ indicated that if we did everything properly to obtain them access they would provide the engineered cap onto this landfill which should provide decades of protection for our citizens. This landfill was closed a long time ago. The landfill trust fund will be used to pay for this engineered cap. As part of that ADEQ said that we must put a deed restriction on the land that we own to not build houses on it. They also asked us to acquire a 100 foot buffer area around it which we where able to do. Alderman Boudreaux: This was a controversial issue at the time and not agreed upon by all the Council members as far as the City getting involved in purchasing this. If one good thing could come out of it I think it is a great thing that we were able to provide this at no cost to the citizens and it is being taken care of. I think this will turn out to be a good project. I am glad we are able to remediate this landfill. Alderman Ferrell: I think it is the right thing to do to try to protect what we have there. Is ADEQ going to continue to monitor the hydrology run off water coming out of there? City Attorney Kit Williams: There was a creek that went through there and that was one of the things they were concerned about. Hopefully when they engineer the cap they will figure out what to do with the creek. Don Marr, Chief of Staff: The city will have some monitoring requirements after the post closure fund completes the project as a part of the agreement. Connie Edmonston: I believe this is a wonderful opportunity for the city to receive these post trust closure trust fund at no cost to the city. We are ready for it to be fixed. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 accessfayetteville.org Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDDfTTY (479) 521-1316 City Council Meeting Minutes December 18, 2012 Page 9 of 15 Don Marr: The City of Fayetteville will be the first city to receive post closure funds. Because this project is over $2 million part of the movement to get the deed restrictions in place is so they can begin the project and fund part of it from one fiscal year and the remaining balance from their second fiscal year. That is the reason we are going forward with this now so they can begin work immediately. City Attorney Kit Williams thanked ADEQ for working with the city. Alderman Boudreaux moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Lewis seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 250-12 as recorded in the office of the City Clerk.

City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Connie Edmonston gave a brief description of the contract. Lea Ann Van Winkle -Gisler thanked the Council for their cooperation and good deeds. The center does not receive complete funding from federal and state so we are acutely dependent on support from the city and from independent donations and other organizations. We are charged with raising 51% of our operating budget each year. This is something we appreciate and we desperately need. We are so grateful. Thank you for your support. Alderman Boudreaux moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Kinion seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Boudreaux moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Alderman Gray seconded the motion.

Ordinance 5554 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk Amend Section 31.16 Aldermen Compensation: An ordinance amending Section 31.16 Aldermen Compensation of the Code of Fayetteville to alter the monthly compensation received by members of the City Council. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Lewis: Alderman Ferrell, Boudreaux and I brought this forward. Since 1999 the City Council representatives have not seen a compensation increase. Fayetteville is behind peer communities in Benton and Washington Counties as well as other Arkansas communities 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 accessfayetteville.org Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDDfFTY (479) 521-1316 City Council Meeting Minutes December 18, 2012 Page 11 of 15 especially as we relate to population. As a metric looking at the Mayoral pay since 1999, the 3.11 % is a way to compare what it would be had it increased. This is important to consider. Fayetteville has a very active citizenry with high expectations of our Council members and that is important. We need to recognize that and compensate and support that. It is important for everyone in the community to consider running for City Council and the lack of stipend should not be a barrier. There is the need often to take vacation and to take time away from work in order to fully achieve the objectives of being on the City Council. If one is not able to support oneself as a result of that loss of time in work then that creates a hindrance to being able to serve the community. An increase in the compensation possibly takes that out as a factor of whether or not one might choose to run. This is an important role and it needs to be recognized as such. It is a 24 hour position. Alderman Boudreaux: I agree with what Sarah said. It takes a lot of time and anguish. I appreciate the way the ordinance was worded. I think this is a good measure. Alderman Gray: I appreciate the action of these three Aldermen in bringing forth good well thought of ideas like this is one of the reasons we are going to miss them. Mayor Jordan: I also signed this. Alderman Adams: My initial reaction to this was not quite so positive. I am glad we have raised city employee's wages and I think we should get them up more. I did not get into this for the money at all. I am fortunate to have a job with fair wages and benefits. I do take vacation time. It is very hard to work full time and do this job. I hope if we pass this we will all consider ways we can give back to the city not only through our work but through part of the way the city offers us money to give back. Alderman Boudreaux moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Tennant seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Lewis moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Alderman Adams seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed unanimously. Ordinance 5555 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 accessfayetteville.org Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDD/TTY (479) 521-1316 City Council Meeting Minutes December 18, 2012 Page 12 of 15 Granicus, Inc Contract — Paperless Agenda: An ordinance waving the requirements of formal competitive bidding and approving a contract with Granicus, Inc. in the total amount of $32,325.00 for fully integrated web streaming and paperless agenda routing services. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Fritz Gisler gave a brief description of the contract. Granicus is the only company that can provide the breath of services that we are requiring and provide interface to their own services and systems. Don Marr thanked Fritz Gisler and Sondra Smith which have been working for some time to look at ways to reduce our paper, routing time and reduction of lost items. Alderman Kinion: I called Mr. Gisler and talked to him about this because it is a little bit out of the ordinary not to take bids. It seemed like the potential we would have, as far as add on services in the future with this specific organization, is something we will want to consider also. The transparency and efficiency for access for the public is going to be a lot easier. Alderman Lewis moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Gray seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Boudreaux moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Alderman Gray seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass.

Paul Becker, Finance Director gave a brief description of the resolution. Alderman Lewis: It is a pleasure to get to vote on this and to be a part of the process. This is an important addition to our community. Alderman Boudreaux moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Gray seconded the motion.

Garver, LLC - Dickson Street Entertainment District Parking Deck: A resolution approving a contract amendment with Garver, LLC in an amount not to exceed $675,000.00 for the design of the Dickson Street Entertainment District Parking Deck, and approving a project contingency of $20,000.00, all contingent upon the approval of the funding in the 2013 Annual Budget. David Jurgens, Utilities Director gave a brief description of the resolution. Alderman Boudreaux: I am proud of this parking deck and where it is located. I think it is very exciting and I am glad it is going forward. I am glad we were able to work with the Walton Arts Center and get their blessing on that location. I think they are going to do some exciting things in the near future. It assures us of their commitment to do more things and expand the center here which I think is very important. Mayor Jordan: We are going to have public input sessions. Alderman Ferrell: I have always been for this and liked the location. I did not like the add on's. Mayor Jordan: We will be keeping you up to speed on where we are at least monthly. Alderman Lewis asked if the design team has attended the new and innovative designs in storm water management and what the plan is for that with this team. David Jurgens: Yes we do have architects and engineers that are involved in innovative storm water design. Ron Petrie: We are very aware of your concerns. The storm water will be lead by Garver. I certainly had a lot of experience doing this type of design. Alderman Boudreaux moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Lewis seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 252-12 as recorded in the office of the City Clerk. Amend §31.17 Mayor's Compensation of the Fayetteville Code: An ordinance to amend §31.17 Mayor's Compensation of the Fayetteville Code to allow a Mayor to waive in writing the salary adjustment required by (B). City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Ferrell: We have someone that worked and worked to get the employees a raise and signed on tonight to get the Alderman a raise and I have a good notion to vote against this. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 accessfayetteville.org Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDD/TTY (479) 521-1316 City Council Meeting Minutes December 18, 2012 Page 14 of 15 Mayor Jordan: I have not been able to give the staff the pay plan that they should have. Until I can do that I am not going to take a salary increase. Don Marr: We believe everyone earns the money that they are being paid and puts in their time and that is how we get top professionals and the Mayor is certainly no different. When someone does not want to take an increase and the ordinance does not give them that opportunity we do not want them breaking our ordinance. The only way he is able to do that is to allow this change. This does not restrict future mayors from being able to get their increases. Alderman Boudreaux: I might point out it is at this time. If we start seeing the ability to increase the wages then it will be different. Alderman Petty moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Lewis seconded the motion.

City Clerk Sondra Smith: I agree. I think the Council gets along very well and it very pleasant to come to a City Council meeting and work with each and every one of you. You will be missed. Don Marr: I would like you to take the lead of your senior departing Council member Boudreaux who is now a board of trustee member for the library. We would love to have your service on a city committee and your expertise available to the citizens.
