CITY COUNCIL MEMO
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Chris Brown, Public Works Director/City Engineer
FROM: Paul Libertini, Staff Engineer
DATE: April 11, 2022
SUBJECT: Master Street Plan Amendment
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval to amend the 2040 Master Street Plan by adding N.
Hemlock Avenue, Millsap Road, and Futrall Drive as Collector (Neighborhood Link) Streets.
BACKGROUND:
As far back as 2016, the City has been looking at different alternatives for the Sain Street
Extension project to connect to the flyover, to improve the Millsap Road intersection, and to
provide a side street connection to Millsap Road to help improve the functionality of the existing
Millsap intersection with College Avenue. These concepts were presented at a Public Meeting
on February 14, 2017. In 2019, the 71 B Corridor Plan was approved which also illustrated a
side street connection from Sain Street to Millsap Road (see attachments). The construction of
the proposed side street (N. Hemlock Avenue) is critical in providing a better connection to
Millsap in order to improve the level of service at the College Avenue intersection.
Sain Street Extension is presently under construction with an anticipated completion date of July
2022. Design is presently underway for improvements to the Millsap Road and College Avenue
intersection as well the new N. Hemlock Avenue from Sain Street to Millsap Road. The City has
received 60% design plans for N. Hemlock Avenue and 30% design plans for the Millsap Road
and College Avenue intersection.
DISCUSSION:
The Sain Street Extension project has received federal -aid funding in the amount of 80% of
project costs with the City paying the local match of 20%. There is the possibility that the City
could receive partial federal funding for the construction of 2 projects referenced above. To be
eligible for federal funding, the candidate streets must be shown on the City's Master Street
Plan as a collector (neighborhood link) or above. They must also be shown on ARDOT's
(Arkansas Department of Transportation) Functional Classification Map as a collector or above.
Millsap Road and Futrall Drive were shown on the City's 2030 Master Street Plan as collectors,
but since then have been removed from the map. N. Hemlock Avenue was not shown on map
as it does not exist.

Millsap Road, Futrall Drive, Sain Street (existing portion) and Vantage Drive are currently shown
on ARDOT's Functional Class Map as Major Collectors. The Sain Street Extension which is
under construction is shown as a Major Collector on ARDOT's Proposed Functional Class Map.
In order to position the City to be eligible for Federal -aid funding, Engineering staff proposes the
following changes to our Master Street Plan:
• Add Millsap Rd west of College Ave as a Collector (Neighborhood Link)
• Add Futrall Dr from Millsap Rd west to Gregg Ave as a Collector (Neighborhood Link)
• Add the new N. Hemlock Avenue from Sain St to Millsap Rd as a Collector
(Neighborhood Link)
• Add Millsap Rd east of College to the new N. Hemlock Avenue as a Collector
(Neighborhood Link)

CC: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff

Chris Brown, Public Works Director
Terry Gulley, Asst. Public Works Director
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
Steven Dotson, Internal Auditor
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: May 2, 2022
RE: Mayor recuperating at home and performing essential duties
Kit Williams
City Attorney
Blake Pennington
Assistant City Attorrey
Jodi Batker
Paralegal
Mayor Jordan is currently recuperating at home, but is fully capable and
performing the essential duties of his office. One such duty was to clarify how
and when his approval through use of his signature stamp could be exercised.
Ordinances, Resolutions, Contracts and other documents approved by the City
Council may have the Mayor's signature stamp applied upon the unanimous
agreement of the Chief of Staff, Chief Financial Officer and City Attorney. A
similar procedure was used during a rare week or longer vacation for the Mayor
years ago where cell phone service at his vacation spot was not always reliable.
An initial draft of his authority for use of his signature stamp was signed
by Mayor Jordan on Friday April 29th and is attached. Mayor Jordan has just
signed an updated and more specific and complete authorization detailing what
the City Staff should do during this period when staff may speak with him for
any necessary decisions or instructions, but when City Staff is authorized to
perform housekeeping, ministerial, and uncontroversial actions on the Mayor's
behalf. This replacement authority dated today is also attached and supersedes
the April 29th authorization.
Mayor Jordan has also designated his Chief of Staff to handle most of his
normal meetings duties until his full time return to the office. The Vice Mayor
shall conduct all City Council meetings and Agenda sessions as the Mayor
recuperates. If any document proposed for the Mayor's signature has any
questionable aspect, the Chief of Staff shall inquire upon Mayor Jordan s decision
before his signature stamp is used or withheld.
Mayor Jordan remains able to perform his necessary official duties
although much of the noncontroversial, house -keeping measures will be handled
by his Chief of Staff and necessary signatures by use of his signature stamp so
the Mayor can get more needed rest. In the unlikely event that Mayor Jordan
would be deemed by a Circuit Court as being "unable to perform the duties of
office", Mayor Jordan has signed the attached Designation of Chief of Staff Susan
Norton to Perform the Duties of the Office of Mayor If and When Necessary.
