Therefore, the City Council needs to pass an Ordinance with the Ward Boundary Map as an exhibit rather than a Resolution in order to amend §32.03 to replace the old map with the new Ward Boundary Map. Attached is this new ordinance which bears a striking resemblance to the Resolution you wisely tabled to give us time to catch this mistake. Please add this Ordinance to your Agenda for the September 20 l City Council meeting, and, at the meeting, table the Resolution indefinitely so it can die honorably on December 31 st.

Therefore, we recalculated the charges for the BOD wastewater treatment. This ordinance adjusts the surcharge to reflect the actual cost of treatment. Alderman Lewis: This went before the Water and Sewer Committee. It is related to the industries that provide biological components to our wastewater. Unfinished Business: Amend § 51.137 Monthly Sewer Rates: An ordinance amending Section 51.137 Monthly Sewer Rates of the Code of Fayetteville by reducing certain extra strength surcharges to sewer rates, and providing for an effective date.

I would recommend that the City Council indefinitely table this item. Alderman Boudreaux moved to table the resolution indefinitely. Alderman Lewis seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 6-0. Alderman Tennant and Gray were absent. This ordinance was Tabled Indefinitely. New Business: Revised Ward Boundaries: An ordinance to approve revised Ward Boundaries to equalize ward populations after the 2010 Federal Census and to amend §32.03 of the Fayetteville Code. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Boudreaux: When will this go into effect? City Attorney Kit Williams: It will not be in effect until another election occurs based upon wards which will be in 2012. Alderman Boudreaux: Does that mean the representation of the people that have been moved changes? City Attorney Kit Williams: You represent all citizens. The wards will change now. Each one of you will remain in the same ward you were elected to. There will be a slight change with some of the citizens that once were in one ward and now are in another. The main affect will be during the election of 2012 when the voters will vote within the new ward boundaries. Alderman Boudreaux: I have had some questions about the impact of Mt. Sequoyah. As I recall that was in Ward 3 years ago. City Attorney Kit Williams: That is correct. This ward boundary map has been changed many times. These boundaries have been adjusted through the years to make sure that they always have an equal number of people living in each ward. Alderman Ferrell: I was under the impression that it would not be effective until the next election. Are we agreeing on that? City Attorney Kit Williams: It won't have any true legal affect until the next election. It is effective now. Alderman Boudreaux: I feel like we can go ahead with it. I have not heard any controversy about it. 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 September 20,2011 Page 5 of 12 Alderman Boudreaux moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Lewis seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 6-0. Alderman Tennant and Gray were absent. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Lewis: Ward 4 has monthly meetings and we base the topics at those meetings on things happening in Ward 4. Could there be language that says it is to be effective in the next election. What is the benefit of legally enacting it now? City Attorney Kit Williams: It would be possible for the Council to put an effective date on this but we can't wait until November because you have to file for election before that. I would say the effective date should not be any later than July Is' of next year to make sure that there is no question about how to conduct the election next year. Alderman Petty: Does our constitutional obligation to change the boundaries have any affect on the timeline for making this effective? City Attorney Kit Williams: Probably not because it is the election that counts. Maybe you should leave this ordinance on the second reading. That will give the Election Commission the opportunity to come to the next meeting and explain why they think it should go into effect earlier. Alderman Ferrell: Anybody can go to any public meeting at any time so I wouldn't think that anyone would feel prohibition about attending a public meeting. Alderman Lewis: Making it concrete will help people make the transition and know who their representatives are. Mayor Jordan: We are going to hold it for two weeks then. This ordinance was left on the Second Reading. AEP/SWEPCO & Ozarks Electric: An ordinance waiving competitive bidding for this payment and all future payments to or contracts with AEP/SWEPCO and Ozarks Electric Cooperative for the relocation costs for electric utility poles and power lines necessitated by road reconstruction or widening projects within AEP/SWEPCO's or Ozark Electric's area of service, to approve this payment in the amount not to exceed $142,953.21 and to approve a budget adjustment.

City Attorney Kit Williams: No, when one of those comes through I plan to do the same ordinance and ask you to waive that now and in the future. Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed 6-0. Alderman Tennant and Gray were absent.

City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. David Jurgens, Utilities Director gave a brief explanation of the ordinance. Alderman Petty: I think this is the best thing we can do with this material. I want to make sure, that when we are designing this program, we are aware of some of the criticisms that other communities have had with their biosolids programs. 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 September 20,2011 Page 7 of 12 David Jurgens: We are aware of the criticisms that are out there.

Ordinance 5440 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk RZN 11-3866 (2013 E. Mission Blvd./Ruskin Heights): An ordinance rezoning that property described in rezoning petition RZN 11-3866, for approximately 28.93 acres located at 2013 East Mission Boulevard from R-PZD, Residential Planned Zoning District (R-PZD 06-2299 Ruskin Heights), to CS, Community Services; NC, Neighborhood Conservation; and RSF-4, Residential Single Family, 4 units/acre, subject to a Bill of Assurance. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Jeremy Pate gave a brief explanation of the ordinance. The Planning Commission recommended approval with a vote of 8-1. Jeremy went over the bill of assurance that runs with the property. Staff is recommending approval of three new zoning districts on this property. Mayor Jordan: How do you amend a bill of assurance? City Attorney Kit Williams: Actually it is not our document so the applicant would have to amend it. I would suggest that on Exhibit B to the bill of assurance that they remove number 3 under Neighborhood Conservation and add that to the RSF-4 section. 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 September 20,2011 Page 8 of 12 Justin Jorgensen with Jorgensen's Associates: Yes, that sounds good to us. Thank you Jeremy for catching that and we would be glad to do that. City Attorney Kit Williams asked Justin Jorgensen to go ahead and make the change and submit it to Jeremy. Alderman Petty: Neighborhood Conservation and RSF-4 are very similar zoning designations so I was wondering why, in your negotiations with the surrounding neighborhoods, you chose to put RSF-4 on those two corners rather than Neighborhood Conservation across that entire tract. Justin Jorgensen: The reason for that is to have flexibility in the lot design. Alderman Petty: I think you described why you chose Neighborhood Conservation but I was asking why you chose RSF-4. Justin Jorgensen: In that area it is going to be hard to develop. There is a lot of surrounding property owners that wanted to see that as RSF-4. Jeremy Pate: In the Ruskin Heights project this was the tree house area. This area has a lot of ravines and significant tree canopy. We felt the lower density would be a much better option in this particular portion of the property. Alderman Petty: We received an email in regards to a traffic requirement that existed for Ruskin Heights to make a portion of that a boulevard to direct traffic out of this area onto Highway 45. They stated you guys responded and told them that would be a conversation for the large scale development approval, is that right? Jeremy Pate: That is correct. Generally we look at street improvements or access to streets at the time of the development proposal. With Ruskin Height we were looking at both zoning and development because it was a planned zoning district. When or if a street connects to Greenview we would look at the same factors we looked at originally. Joann Kvamme, a resident near the property thanked the applicant for meeting with the neighbors. I appreciate the bill of assurance. My concern is, with the economic times what they are, if it sells again and the next developer does not want to abide by these rules, they could come back and have this nulled. Mayor Jordan: They could I think. City Attorney Kit Williams explained the options that a new developer would have. Mayor Jordan: There wouldn't be any guarantees that it would stay forever. Joann Kvamme: One of the things that will keep Fayetteville strong is the stability of our neighborhoods. If neighborhoods are in constant question as to what is going to happen around them you are going to deteriorate our neighborhoods. We worked hard with the applicant to get 113 West Mountain Fayetteville,AR 72701 (479)575-8323 accessfayetteville.org Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDD/TTY(479)521-1316
