February 7, 1995
The last matter to come before the meeting was a proposed
Resolution, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO ENTER INTO THE PRIVATIZATION OF
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAMS WITH THE PULASKI COUNTY REGIONAL
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
City Attorney Tom Carpenter advised Mayor Dailey that he
understood the Board only wanted to adopt a Resolution of Intent
to enter into an agreement for privatization at this time. In
the event the Board wishes to enter into an agreement at this
time, Mr. Carpenter said additional language would need to be
added to the Resolution. Director Keck then made a motion that
the Resolution be tabled until February 21, 1995. The motion was
seconded by Director Wilson, and was adopted by the following
roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Adcock, Wilson, Hinton, Keck,
Joyce, Wyrick and Mason - total 7; Noes - Directors Sharp,
Hodges and Mayor Dailey - total 3; Absent - None; Position No.
6 Vacant. Therefore, the proposed Resolution was tabled until
February 21, 1995. Several members of the Hillcrest Property
Owners Association were present to ask questions about which type
of refuse collection would provide the best service. Mr. R.
Sloan Wilson, 120 N. Woodrow Street, Ms. Joan B. DuBois, 204 N.
Woodrow, Street, Mr. John Ed Chiles, 127 N. Woodrow Street, and
Ms. Sarah Jane Newland, 5114 �iF" Street, complained about the
current service and unsightly refuse cans. Ms. Newland strongly
supports alley pickup to eliminate the unsightly green garbage
cans seen on the curbs of the City. Mr. Tom Choate, General
Manager of Waste Management of Arkansas, spoke to the Board and
stated his company has employees that are former long term City
Employees, former members of AFSCME, and offered to meet with
employees to answer any questions or problems they may have with
his company. Mr. Choate answered questions from various Board
Members. City Manager Charles Nickerson, referring to the safety
issue in the Statement of Management Policy, said "we are trying
to reduce Workers Compensation." Ms. Paula Edwards of Local 994
of the City Employees Union, spoke in opposition to
privatization. She noted that Waste Management of Arkansas had
lost several lawsuits elsewhere in the country; and that the
company is not located in the City of Little Rock or even the
State of Arkansas. Ms. Edwards questioned whether it would be
fair to give the City's business to an out -of -state firm when all
City Employees hired after January 1, 1994, are required to live
in Little Rock. City Manager Charles Nickerson said he would
recommend a no- layoff policy so no current sanitation workers
would lose their job, in the event the Board of Directors adopts
the privatization policy in the future. Current City Sanitation

privatization method of waste disposal where, Kyle Wolfe, 44

Ms. Mollie Wiseman, 11136 W. Baseline Road, speaking on
behalf of ACORN and The New Party, said the organizations were
opposed to privatization of the garbage collection.
Mr. Richard Brittain, 503 E. 6th Street, Apartment 309,
addressed City lobbying on "any willing provider" bill. Mr.
Brittain referred to an advertisement in the Arkansas Democrat
Gazette on Sunday, February 5, 1995, urging citizens to call
their state senator to express opposition to S.B. 299, known as
"Any Willing Provider" legislation, which listed the City of
Little Rock and Little Rock Municipal Water Works among the many
sponsors of the ad. Mr. Brittain said it is inappropriate for a
public agency to allow its name to be used in such manner, and
asked the Board of Directors to adopt a policy to prohibit the
City's name from being used in this type of lobbying in the
future.
Mrs. Ruth Bell, representing the League of Women Voters of
Pulaski County, was the last speaker at Citizens Communications.
Mrs. Bell's subject was the Chenal Parkway Traffic Study, and
said although it is admirable that Director Keck is going to work
with a study group made up of people impacted in that immediate
area, the League of Women Voters of Pulaski County would like to
see the Board of Directors set up an advisory committee drawn
from residents city wide and charged with developing an action
plan to implement the traffic study recommendations. Such a plan
would include, but not be limited to: a time line for plan
implementation, a recommendation for sources of funding to carry
out the recommendations, and establish criteria to be met before
the City's Master Street Plan is redrawn.
Resolution No. 9,328, was the next presentation, containing
the following title:
A RESOLUTION MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE COMMISSION ON
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE;
(Appointing Connie Parker to a five year term, expiring 11 -1 -99;
Dr. Charles L. Lewis to a five year term, expiring 11 -1 -99; and
Director B.J. "Brenda" Wyrick to a two year term, expiring 11 -1-
97.)
and the Resolution was read in full. There was a motion and
second by Directors Keck and Adcock, respectively, to adopt the
Resolution, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted by the
Board Members present.
At this point in the meeting, a motion was made by Director
Sharp and seconded by Director Joyce, that Dr. Dean Kumpuris be
appointed Position No. 6 Director, to fill the vacancy created
when Mayor Dailey resigned as City Director, Position 6,
effective January 1, 1995, before taking his oath as Mayor of the
City of Little Rock. The motion was adopted by a voice vote of 9
ayes with Director Wilson voting no.

proceedings to acquire Kramer School property, and appropriates
$150,000 to pay just compensation to Dr. Hampton Roy, the owner,
and commence eminent domain proceedings. Mr. Richard Brittain,
503 East 6th Street, Apartment #309, supported the demolition,
saying Kramer School is too far gone to preserve. Ms. Linda
Caillouet, 1900 S. Broadway, expressed her opinion that the
school should be saved until it can be restored. Mr. John Bush,
resident of the area and Chairman of the Historic District, urged
the Board to consider and pass an Ordinance that supports
preservation of the City and the City's fabric. Mr. Mark
Stodola, 1923 North Tyler, in his presentation, urged the Board
to defeat this Ordinance and support the substitute Ordinance.
Ms. Judith Faust, 1508 Louisiana Street, stated that historic
preservation makes good economic sense and opposed the proposed
Ordinance. Ms. Jamye Landis, a member of the Historic
Preservation Alliance of Arkansas, urged the Board to support the
authority of the Little Rock Historic District Commission, and
spoke in opposition to the proposed Ordinance. Following the
lengthy discussion, a roll call vote was taken on the proposed
