The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock,
Arkansas, reconvened from the November 7, 1995, regular

With a quorum being present, Mayor Dailey declared the
Board of Directors in session and the proceedings of the
meeting are recorded as follows.
The first item on the Agenda was a proposed Resolution,
regarding the Dunbar Branch Library at Chester Street and
Wright Avenue. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods
and Planning, explained that the Planning Commission
approved the Conditional Use Permit for the Dunbar Branch
Library at its meeting held earlier in the day; therefore,
no action was required by the Board of Directors. Dr. Bobby
Roberts, Executive Director of the Central Arkansas Library
System, was present and thanked the Board for agreeing to
consider the issue if necessary.
(Directors Wilson and Joyce were enrolled at 4:08
o'clock P.M.)
The next presentation was Ordinance No. 16,011,
entitled:
AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING AND REAPPROPRIATING FUNDS
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF AN ALERT CENTER AND AN ADJACENT PARKING
LOT; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS;
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
(South Little Rock Alert Center at 33rd and Ringo Streets -
contract with Phillips Construction in the amount of $64,500
for the construction of the Alert Center and with Nathaniel
Saine in the amount of $29,267.50 for construction of the
parking lot.)
At the request of City Manager Charles Nickerson, the Board
of Directors generally agreed to consider the Ordinance even
though it was not discussed at the time the Board agreed to
reconvene to consider the library issue. The Ordinance was
then read the first time. There was a motion by Director
Adcock, seconded by Director Sharp, to suspend the rules and
place the Ordinance on second reading. The motion was
unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being nine
in number and two - thirds of more of the members of the Board
of Directors - elect, and the second reading of the Ordinance
ensued. The rules were again suspended to provide for the
third and final reading, upon a motion and second by
Directors Adcock and Sharp, respectively, which was
