City Attorney Tom Carpenter explained his memorandum dated
September 25, 1995, which he distributed to the Mayor and Board
of Directors, regarding permission for the Mitchell Law Firm to
handle real estate matters before the Planning Commission while

Attorney Tom Carpenter if the appointment to the Airport
Commission could be a staff person of the City of Little Rock,
even if that person did not have an aeronautical rating. Mr.

has an aeronautical rating, but it is not current.
