I drafted a new ordinance reflecting the Bill of Assurance and attached it as an exhibit to the ordinance. Rather than reading the old ordinance without the Bill of Assurance, I ask that the City Council amend the current ordinance to the one I supplied to you on September 7, 2016. Alderman Marsh moved to amend the ordinance to reflect the attachment of a Bill of Assurance. Alderman La Tour seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman Gray was absent. City Attorney Kit Williams read the entire amended ordinance. Therefore, no motion was made to suspend the rules and go to the Second Reading. Jeremy Pate, Director of Development Services gave a brief description of the ordinance. City Attorney Kit Williams: At Agenda Session, Alderman Gray requested this to be left on the Second Reading. This afternoon we heard from the applicant that he was not going to be able to attend the meeting. There are some questions I would like to ask him to make sure I understand what his Bill of Assurance is intended to mean. I don't think we should go to the third and final reading without him being here to be able to answer those questions. Alderman Marsh: I have some concerns about the lack of clarity in the Bill of Assurance. If the landowner does intend to limit this to just 400 single family homes, I suggest he say that those zones will be limited to single family homes with the maximum number of 400. As it is written now it would limit us to 400 single family homes, but an unlimited number of multi -family homes. City Attorney Kit Williams: I agree it is a vague Bill of Assurance. It would be helpful to have the drafter here so he can tell us clearly what the intent is. Alderman Marsh: After seeing the ambiguities in the Terminella land agreement, we need to be careful on these so we don't run into that same situation again. Alderman La Tour: I understand if we need to wait for questions to be answered for more clarity in any agreement we enter into as a city. I am hoping this isn't just another delay technique. This has been in the works for about a year and a half. We need to move this project to completion appropriately. Alderman Long: We will be able to discuss this next Monday night at the Ward 4 meeting. It will be good to hold it until the next Council meeting. This ordinance was left on the Second Reading RZN 16-5500 (335 E. 7th St./Niederman) Appeal: An ordinance to rezone that property described in rezoning petition RZN 16-5500 for approximately 0.23 acres located at 335 East 7th 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayefteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2016 Page 5 of 13 Street from NC, Neighborhood Conservation to DG, Downtown General. At the September 6, 2016 City Council meeting this ordinance was left on the first reading. City Attorney Kit Williams: During the interim from last meeting to this meeting, the applicant has submitted a Bill of Assurance. I have redrafted the ordinance to reflect the Bill of Assurance and provided a copy to you all. I ask that the ordinance be amended to reflect a Bill of Assurance has been offered. Alderman Petty: The applicant is a business partner of mine on some other projects, but I am not involved with this project. I will be recusing from the discussion.

Zara Niederman, Applicant stated he spoke with Jeremy Pate and Quin Thompson in the Planning Department and came to a reasonable agreement. Alderman Marsh: I like what the developer has proposed. He has limited it to what it was previously designed to handle, but made some accommodations to deliver some accessory dwelling units on non -owner occupied lots. This is going to give us appropriate infill in that area as well as provide some affordable housing options. I support this. Alderman Marsh moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Alderman Kinion seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 6-0. Alderman Petty recused. Alderman Gray was absent. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance Alderman Tennant: This is a creative thing this developer is doing in an area that will benefit from it greatly. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2016 Page 6 of 13 Alderman Kinion: I endorse the way this was handled. We didn't have an appropriate category to meet the needs of the developer to fit in the neighborhood with the appropriate infill, size and scale. Thank you to the developer for willing to work with our staff to come up with a creative solution. This will move us forward in looking at a new zoning category. Alderman La Tour: I am supporting this rezoning because I support development and growth in our city. I don't think the correct criteria is what I prefer or don't prefer. What is important is that we grow our city within the regulations we have established for that growth. Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed 6-0. Alderman Petty recused. Alderman Gray was absent. Ordinance 5902 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk Public Hearing: Condemnation and Possession for Water and Sewer Relocations: A resolution to authorize the City Attorney to seek condemnation and possession of certain lands owned by Drake St Property, LLC, 1155 properties, RPM1 properties - Fayetteville, LLC a/k/a RPM1 Properties, LLC, and Nelms, LLLP for the water and sewer relocations associated with Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department project BB0414 - Interstate 49 and Highway 112 Interchange, and to approve a budget adjustment. Mayor Jordan opened the Public Hearing. City Attorney Kit Williams: We have been able to settle with Nelms, LLLP for a very small easement we needed on the north side of the road, so we do not need to seek condemnation there. We are continuing to seek condemnation for the south side of the road over fairly long easements because we need to obtain legal possession of this easement. We need to move our water and sewer lines out of the way of the Highway Department who are about to begin the multi-million dollar improvement to that intersection. They are on a short time frame and asked us to move quickly. I. have been in contact with the owner and his attorney. They realize why we are doing this and we are going to continue negotiating in the future with them. I don't anticipate a trial, but in order to get possession legally, we have to seek this condemnation. I ask you to amend the current resolution. Alderman Marsh moved to amend the ordinance by removing Nelms, LLLP from the condemnation. Alderman Long seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman Gray was absent. There was no public comment. Mayor Jordan closed the Public Hearing. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayefteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2016 Page 7 of 13 Alderman Marsh moved to approve the resolution.

Resolution 172-16 as recorded in the office of the City Clerk New Business: Library Improvement Bonds: An ordinance authorizing the issuance and sale of the City's Public Library Improvement Bonds for the purpose of financing a portion of the costs of Capital Improvements to the Fayetteville Public Library; authorizing the execution and delivery of a Trust Indenture pursuant to which the bonds will be issued and secured; authorizing the execution and delivery of an Official Statement pursuant to which the bonds will be offered; authorizing the execution and delivery of a Bond Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of the bonds; authorizing the execution and delivery of a Continuing Disclosure Agreement; and prescribing other matters relating thereto. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. Paul Becker, Chief Financial Officer gave a brief description of the ordinance. Alderman La Tour: At the beginning of this project, there was a cloud hanging over the old City Hospital property. There was a lawsuit. There was a question as to whether or not ownership would revert back to the family or if the city library could buy it. Has that been ruled on? Paul Becker, Chief Financial Officer: That has not been ruled on and Kit has been carefully following that. We should have a ruling by the end of the year. We have every reason to believe the heir contention will be turned down, but we don't know that for sure. Improvements will be made to the library whether it is on that property or other property. This would pay for the bond issue for those improvements. The architecture work will start once we know for sure where the location will be. Alderman La Tour: We are going to sell the bonds now, raise the $26 million, and we aren't sure we have the property yet to build on. The director of the library assures me they will spend the $26 million whether we have the property to build on or not, right? Paul Becker, Chief Financial Officer: That is not exactly what I said. This authorizes the issuance of the bond. The issuance of the bond we expect to be early next year. By that point we will have a ruling by the court. We won't issue the bonds until we know where the location is going to be and at that point move ahead with the project. We won't issue the bonds until that has been cleared up. The architectural plans would be contingent on precisely where it is. This authorizes the issuance of the bonds. It doesn't issue the bonds at this point. Alderman La Tour: The voters approved this. Do you remember what the vote count was? Paul Becker, Chief Financial Officer: I do not have that off the top of my head. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2016 Page 8 of 13 Alderman La Tour: I think it was around 3,000 people of the 20,000 registered voters in Fayetteville.

It will be a very important connection.

The commercial development that could be built would benefit greatly if there was a way to those commercial developments other than getting in traffic and sitting at stoplights. I appreciate this and it will be very good for the area. Alderman Petty: I read some emails that went back and forth between city staff and the Highway Department. I was impressed with the way the issue was handled. I don't think anything differently could have been done about this situation. I'll support it because it is a need. I'm disappointed with the way our state agency has handled it. If the agency is relying on the guidance set by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, I want to remind them that at the very beginning of those guidance documents there's a section on how they are able to do things that are different than the tables and diagrams would suggest. When you have 20,000 people who live west of the interstate whether out of necessity or preference and would like to walk or ride their bike, they deserve a safe way to do that. I don't think there is anybody who studies this issue anywhere that thinks the side path we are proposing and asking for is less safe than the Highway Department's proposal for bike lanes. I want to appeal to their better nature and ask them to please use their engineering judgment and do what is right for the people of Fayetteville and for the people of the State of Arkansas. As a taxpayer I expect them to be more judicious with our tax dollars. Mayor Jordan: My job is to make sure that people stay safe in the city. Putting an overpass in and striping off a line where bicyclist can practically clean a mirror on a car as they go by, I didn't feel was safe. We have spent a lot of time negotiating and this is the best I can do. One way or the other we need to put the side path in to keep everyone safe. Alderman Long moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Tennant seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed 7-0. Alderman Gray was absent. Resolution]73-16 as recorded in the office of the City Clerk Announcements: Jeremy Pate: Bikes, Blues & Barbeque starts on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 and goes through the rest of the week.
