A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE FAYETTEVILLE SCHOOL
BOARD'S CAREFUL STUDY AND CONSIDERATION OF OPTIONS
FOR THE FAYETTEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas appreciates the hard work and
careful study by the Fayetteville School Board of Directors of the options for the Fayetteville High
School; and
WHEREAS, the Fayetteville City Council has long endeavored to assist the Fayetteville School
District by building or enlarging city streets like Rupple Road (north and south), Mount Comfort, etc. in
efforts to access new schools and alleviate school traffic congestion; and
WHEREAS, The City Council's adopted long range planning document, the 2025 Plan, urges
increased density in the central area of Fayetteville and discourages sprawl and moving large traffic
generating facilities toward the outskirts of Fayetteville; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of Fayetteville have approved a sales tax and street bond program to
help alleviate present traffic congestion, but this program does not have funds available to build or
enlarge city streets to properly and safely access a distant site of the proposed new or replacement
Fayetteville Senior High; and
WHEREAS, maintaining FHS's current central location would be advantageous to the City of
Fayetteville and more compatible with the 2025 Plan and its goal of discouraging sprawl.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
Section 1: That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby commends the
Fayetteville School Board of Directors for their hard work and careful study of the options concerning the
Fayetteville Senior High. Further, the City Council of the City of Fayetteville recognizes that any new
school building and especially a senior high school would be a major traffic generator and therefore
should be located not only where infrastructure already exists to handle the traffic load, but where
Fayetteville citizens can more easily and quickly access the school, its stadium, fields and arena.
PASSED and APPROVED this 17th day of July, 2007.
