RE• Fayetteville/ Springdale Area Transit Authority
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been reminded that the Old Fayetteville/ Springdale Area Transit Authority has never been dissolved. As
you all know, it became defunct many years ago and the University of Arkansas no longer receives its funding
through the old authority.
I do not believe the Old Authority has any assets. Unless anyone thinks otherwise, I suggest that the Old
Authority be dissolved if for any reason just to clean up the records.
Please let me know you position in this regard as soon as possible.
The dissolution will require resolutions of the governing bodies of Fayetteville, Springdale, Greenland, and
Washington County and a tww *rds (2/3) vote of the Board.
Sincerely,
E. Butler, Jr.
Washington County Attorney
