NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE
All interested persons may address the City Council on agenda items of New and
Old Business. Please wait for the Mayor to request public comment and then
come to the podium, give your name, address, and comments about the agenda
item. Please address only the Mayor. Questions are usually answered by the
Mayor, Aldermen or Staff after the public comment period is over. Please keep
your comments brief and respectful. Each person is only allowed one turn at the
microphone for discussion of an agenda item.
All cell phones must be silenced and may not be used within the City Council
Chambers.
Below is a portion of the Rules of Order and Procedure of the Fayetteville City
Council pertaining to City Council meetings:
Agenda additions: A new item which is requested to be added to the agenda at a
City Council meeting should only be considered if it requires immediate City
Council consideration and if the normal agenda setting process is not practical.
The City Council may only place such new item on the City Council meeting's
agenda by suspending the rules by two-thirds vote. Such agenda addition shall be
heard prior to the Consent Agenda.
Consent Agenda: Consent Agenda items shall be read by the Mayor and voted
upon as a group without discussion by the City Council. If an Alderman wishes to
comment upon or discuss a Consent Agenda item, that item shall be removed and
considered immediately after the Consent Agenda has been voted upon.

provided to the Aldermen. All remarks shall be addressed to the Mayor or the City
Council as a whole and not to any particular member of the City Council. No

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 3 to the Contract with Mitchell, Williams, Selig, Gates &
Woodyard, PLLC, for an additional $25,000, for the White River Water Quality
Standards Petition
RECOMMENDATION:
City Administration recommends approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Contract with Mitchell,
Williams, Selig, Gates & Woodyard, PLLC, increasing the compensation by $25,000 for legal
actions relating to the White River Water Quality Standards and negotiations with the ADEQ and
the Arkansas Pollution Control & Ecology Commission (APCEC) and approval of a budget
adjustment.
BACKGROUND:
The Noland WWTP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit contains
limits on Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and minerals, specifically chloride and sulfate. In that
permit, the City was required to complete a Petition to the APCEC to change the local stream
standards. If the APCEC does not approve our request, we might be required to complete a
very expensive modification to our wastewater treatment plant to comply with the very strict
limits of chloride, 20 mg/I; sulfate, 20 mg/I; and TDS, 160 mg/I. The estimated capital cost for
this modification is approximately $45 million. The City's team consists of CH2M HILL and the
Mitchell Williams law firm.
DISCUSSION:
The contract between the City and Mitchell Williams was originally set at $48,000 and was
amended in 2013 to $63,000 and again in 2014 to $83,000 to help cover un -anticipated costs
due to Act 954. However, additional complications have arisen requiring the Mitchell Williams
firm to spend more time on the TDS and minerals effort than the amended contract allows for.
There are still several tasks to be performed. Below is the list of items that still need to be done:
• Team conference(s) to deal with comments by ADEQ
• Arrange for and meet with ADEQ water and legal division seeking agreement on the
requested minerals numbers
• Prepare and file Statement of Basis and Responsiveness Summary (Response to
Comments) with the APCEC

This Contract Amendment No. 3:
1. Services to be Performed: Adds: Continued actions as required to obtain final approval from the Arkansas
Pollution Control and Ecology Commission (APCEC) to modify site specific water quality criteria in the White
River, to provide advice and guidance on what actions the City and its consultants need to take to successfully

actions:

numbers
