RESOLUTION NO. 8,998
A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR EFFORTS
TO RELOCATE A MEDICAL WASTE
INCINERATOR ON DIXON ROAD TO AN AREA
THAT WOULD OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH THE
CITY'S MEDICAL WASTE FACILITY SITING
ORDINANCE; DIRECTING THE CITY
ATTORNEY TO COOPERATE WITH EFFORTS
TO OPPOSE THE LOCATION OF THIS
FACILITY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSE.
WHEREAS, the City has carefully considered the issue of
whether medical waste incinerators should be located in close
proximity to occupied structures within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted an ordinance, consistent with
recently promulgated state law, that sets siting requirements a
minimum distance from such structures; and
WHEREAS, a medical waste facility is currently proposed for
Dixon Road which is close to three public schools in the area;
and
WHEREAS, the City cannot enforce its extraterritorial
zoning and siting jurisdiction at this time since a plan for
this area has not been developed; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney has gained some expertise in
this area by working on this ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. The Board of Directors of the City of Little
Rock goes on record as opposing the present siting of a medical
waste incinerator on Dixon Road and formally opposes any
location of such a facility that does not meet the spirit or
letter of the medical waste facilities ordinance.
SECTION 2. The City Attorney is directed to take whatever
actions possible, including but not limited to intervention into
any litigation or the preparation of amicus briefs on any
appeal, to make the views of the Board of Directors known.
ADOPTED: Septauber 7, 1993.
