The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas,

Mayor Dailey presiding. City Clerk Robbie Hancock called the
roll with the following Directors present: Directors Priest,
Roy, Sharp, Mason, Hendrix, Scheibner, Keck and Joyce - total 8;
Absent - Directors Lewellen and Adcock - total 2.
With a quorum present, Mayor Dailey declared the Board of
Directors in session and announced the purpose of the reconvened
meeting was to consider a Resolution changing the name of Inez
Street and an Ordinance approving a water service agreement with
the City of Shannon Hills.
The first presentation was Resolution No. 9,097, entitled:
A RESOLUTION CHANGING THE NAME OF INEZ STREET TO J. L.
HAWKINS STREET FROM EAST 8TH STREET TO EAST 12TH STREET;
and the Resolution was read in full. There was a motion by
Director Priest, seconded by Director Roy, to adopt the
Resolution, and the Resolution was adopted unanimously by the
Board Members present. (Director Lewellen was enrolled at 1:32
P.M. before the vote was taken.) Director Hendrix stated that a
special presentation would be made on Sunday, February 13, 1994,
at 2:30 on Inez Street.
While waiting for City Attorney Tom Carpenter to arrive to
- explain the Shannon Hills water service agreement, Director Keck
asked Police Chief Caudell to answer questions regarding police
overtime hours. Chief Caudell stated that since December 23,
1993, there have been an additional 19 officers per day on the
street to supplement regular forces, primarily in the evening
hours. He will provide Board members with a written report about
February 15, 1994, on the first full month of the curfew
ordinance and the truancy program as well as the additional
police officers.
(Director Adcock enrolled at 1:37 P.M.)
Mr. Harold MacIntire, Mayor of the City of Shannon Hills,
responded to questions by Board Members regarding the water
service agreement. Mayor MacIntire stated that those residents
of Little Rock that are being provided water by Shannon Hills
will be turned over to Little Rock as part of the agreement. Mr.
Bruno Kirsch, Assistant Manager of Little Rock Municipal Water
Works, responded to questions by Director Priest regarding the
ability to provide water service to Shannon Hills now but not
previously. Mayor MacIntire added that the problem was with the
Shannon Hills Water, Sewer & Fire Protection Improvement
District, which is not a part of the City of Shannon Hills. It
is a suburban improvement district in Saline County which was
formed prior to the incorporation of the City of Shannon Hills.
The Improvement District owned the rights -of -way and would not
give access to them to the City of Little Rock. Under the
agreement the rights -of -way will be deeded to the City of Little
Rock.
City Attorney Tom Carpenter apologized for not having copies
of the Ordinance for the Board of Directors. Mr. Carpenter
reviewed the provisions of the agreement for the sale of Little
Rock water to the City of Shannon Hills and explained the two
major provisions. (1) Shannon Hills will have one year to connect

to the Little Rock Sanitary Sewer System and come into compliance
with regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency and the
Department of Pollution Control & Ecology. If so, the contract
will be for 20 years; if not, the contract will expire at the end
of that one year. (2) Imposed conditions about the growth of
Shannon Hills.
Mayor Dailey recessed the reconvened meeting at 2:00 o'clock
P.M. and the Board of Directors heard an Agenda Meeting
presentation (CATA) , while waiting for copies of the Ordinance
and agreement to be made and distributed to the Board of
Directors.
When the Board of Directors reconvened at 2:25 o'clock P.M.,
Mayor Dailey presided and all of the Directors were present.
Consideration was then given to Ordinance No. 16,592,
described as:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK APPROVING AN
AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF LITTLE ROCK WATER TO THE CITY OF
SHANNON HILLS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
City Attorney Tom Carpenter distributed copies of the Ordinance
and Agreement and explained that one of the conditions on the
sale of water was that if water consumption by Shannon Hills
increased because of density that was okay, but if water
consumption increased due to annexations, the annexations would
be at risk without further action by the Little Rock Board of
Directors. (Directors Roy and Sharp were excused at 2:27 o'clock
P.M.) The Ordinance was then read the first time. There was a
motion by Director Adcock to suspend the rules and place the
Ordinance on second reading. The motion was seconded by Director
Mason and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being
nine in number and two - thirds or more of the members of the Board
of Directors - elect, and the Ordinance was read the second time.
There was a subsequent motion by Director Priest, seconded by
Director Adcock, to again suspend the rules and place the
Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was adopted
unanimously by the Board Members present, being nine in number
and two - thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors -
elect, and the third and last reading of the Ordinance ensued.
(Director Sharp re- enrolled at 2:30 P.M.) A roll call vote was
taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the results
recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Priest, Sharp, Lewellen,
Mason, Mayor Dailey, Directors Adcock, Hendrix, Scheibner, Keck
and Joyce - total 10; Noes - None; Absent - Director Roy - total
