the following Directors present: Directors Sharp, Lewellen,
Mason, Adcock, Hendrix, Scheibner, Keck and Joyce - total 8;

With a quorum present, Mayor Dailey called the meeting to

consider Zoning Case Z -5806 - Perkins PCD, the appropriation of
funds from the one -half cent sales tax revenues, and to evaluate
City Manager Charles Nickerson.
The first presentation was Ordinance No. 16,666, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND
ESTABLISHING A PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT TITLED PERKINS
SUBDIVISION, LOT 1, SHORT -FORM PCD (Z- 5806), AND LOCATED ON THE
EAST SIDE OF S. BOWMAN ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MILE NORTH OF W.
36TH STREET, IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AMENDING
CHAPTER 36 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK;
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
(Z -5806 - Perkins Subdivision, Lot 1, Short -form PCD located on
the east side of S. Bowman Road, approximately 0.5 mile north of
W. 36th Street.)
- and the Ordinance was read the second time, having been read the
first time on May 17, 1994. (See pages 8 and 9 of Minutes of May
17, 1994.) There was a motion by Director Scheibner, seconded by
Director Adcock, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on
third and final reading. The motion was 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
third and final reading of the Ordinance ensued. A roll call
vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with
the results recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Sharp,
Lewellen, Mason, Mayor Dailey, Directors Hendrix, Scheibner, Keck
and Joyce - total 9; Noes - None; Absent - Directors Priest and
Roy - total 2. Therefore, the Ordinance was declared PASSED.
(Director Roy enrolled at 1:53 o'clock P.M.)
Consideration was then given to the appropriation of funds
from the one -half cent sales tax revenues to fund various service
recommendations. 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. He also questioned whether there has
been a results evaluation of crime reduction of the present
Fighting Back programs. Mayor Dailey and City Manager Charles
Nickerson stated the program would be monitored and staff will
come back to the Board of Directors regarding an outside
evaluation. At the request of Assistant City Manager Brenda

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."
Directors Scheibner and Sharp then withdrew the motion and second
to remove the Ordinance from the Agenda. There was a subsequent
motion and second by Directors Adcock and Keck, respectively, to
add the phrase to Section 1 as recommended by City Attorney Tom
Carpenter, and the motion was unanimously adopted (see Ordinance
No. 16,674 below). Director Adcock then expressed concerns
related to Item #11 about the makeup of the Race Relations
Commission (see Ordinance No. 16,676 below) . During the brief
discussion, it was emphasized that this is the budget
appropriation only and the makeup of the Race Relations
Commission will come before the Board at a later date. 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. The
sum of $100,000 is hereby appropriated from the proceeds of the
one -half cent sales tax adopted in December, 1993, and
appropriated to fund a program under Organization No. 1033 set
out by the City Manager to create and implement a minority
economic development program," and the motion was unanimously
adopted. (See Ordinance No. 16,679 below.) Mayor Dailey then
called for the reading of the thirteen Ordinances.

being:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS ORDINANCE NO.
