An Ordinance was on the Agenda for the May 17, 1994, Board of Directors Meeting, but was deferred until the reconvened meeting. (See page 1 of Minutes of May 17, 1994.) The various service recommendations had since been addressed in individual Ordinances. Therefore, there were thirteen (13) Ordinances to be considered. Mr. Sterling Cockrill, President of the Board of Directors of Serenity Park, Inc. (a nonprofit treatment center for alcohol and drug abuse) read a prepared statement regarding Agenda Item No. 7 - crime prevention and public safety recommendations (see Ordinance No. 16,672 below) . He questioned the effectiveness of several suggested programs related to crime and drugs.

At the request of Assistant City Manager Brenda 1 635 Al e �w *� Minutes June 1, 1994 Donald, Mr. Steve Bradley explained the planning process of the Fighting Back programs. Director Sharp asked that for the next several years the Board get a "report card" to see where the money is going and if it is not working that it be dropped. City Attorney Tom Carpenter said the Board of Directors could adopt a Resolution directing the City Manager that a review of all the FUTURE Little Rock programs be done on an annual basis, and put some guidance in the Resolution as to what a "report card" means. Director Sharp reiterated that he wanted a review of No. 7 (Crime Prevention and Public Safety) . Mayor Dailey asked that the Resolution be prepared for consideration by the Board of Directors on June 7, 1994. Director Adcock asked for a report on where the Museum Board is on raising matching funds. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, explained that this Ordinance appropriates the money but it would not be spent until the Museum Board responds with matching funds. Director Scheibner was opposed to appropriating money until the Board knows if it will be spent and moved to remove Item #9 (the Ordinance appropriating funds for the Museum) from the Agenda. Director Sharp seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Mason reminded Board Members that the Board said it would deal with the sales tax appropriations in a package, and now the Board is picking and choosing. City Attorney Tom Carpenter recommended adding a phrase to the end of Section 1 as follows: provided no monies from this special account shall be spent without direct authorization by Resolution of the Board of Directors."

Director Adcock also had concerns about the hiring of an Assistant City Manager and other staff required to implement a minority economic development program (Item #14 - see Ordinance No. 16,679 below). During a lengthy discussion, City Attorney Tom Carpenter suggested that Section 1 be amended to delete the phrase "including the hiring and equipping of an Assistant City Manager and other staff required." There was a motion by Director Keck, seconded by Director Sharp, to revise Section 1 as recommended by City Attorney Tom Carpenter to read as follows: "SECTION 1.
