Mrs. Betty Snyder, 4002 Walker Street, President of the John
Barrow Neighborhood Association, praised the Zero Tolerance Task
Force, which has responded to problems in that area. Mrs. Snyder
again expressed the need for park security, because there are
problems at some of the parks. There are no restrooms at Kiwanis
Park due to lack of park security, and she cited incidents at
Boyle Park. She urged the Board of Directors to help citizens
bring back the parks by providing park security.
Mrs. Dorothy Austin, 55 Rosemoor Drive, was the last speaker
at Citizen Communications time. She asked the Board of Directors
to get involved with the Little Rock School District. She said
she has taken two of her children out of Little Rock schools
because they cannot provide a safe environment for the children
and give them quality education. She said it is unfair that she
has to pay for them to attend a private school, because of the
situation in the public schools. She referred to a letter that
said her son was not attending school and had unexcused absences,
when in fact he was not even enrolled in the Little Rock School
District.
A public hearing had been scheduled for this time and place
by Resolution No. 9,253, adopted October 18, 1994, on the

The first speaker was Mrs. Kathy Wells, President of the
Coalition of Little Rock Neighborhoods, who read a four page
prepared statement, which urged the City to encourage
rehabilitation rather than demolition of abandoned buildings.
Mr. Tim Polk, Acting Director of the Department of Neighborhoods
and Planning, and Mr. Ed Stanfield, CDBG & Housing Programs
Manager, responded to questions by the Board of Directors. Mayor
Dailey declared the public hearing closed at 7:33 o'clock P.M.

(Note: Public hearing was held October 18, 1994, as scheduled by
Resolution No. 9,242, adopted September 20, 1994, and notice
thereof duly published in the Daily Record on September 20,
1994.) Mr. Charles Nestrud, an attorney representing BFI of
Arkansas, a landfill management and disposal company, questioned
the impact of the annexation on the BFI landfill (290 acres on
Mabelvale Pike just east of Asher Avenue, which is in different
stages of development) . At the time BFI purchased the landfill
from Worth James in 1991, 70 acres were developed into an
operating permit and BFI continues to operate that area of the
active landfill. An additional 270 acres were under a pre -
application approval from the Department of Pollution Control and
Ecology, and Worth James had received the go ahead to move
forward with operating plans for the remaining adjoining piece of
property. BFI purchased both those approvals from Worth James
and is continuing to develop the landfill. When this annexation
was considered about a year ago, BFI was told the landfill would
come in as a non - conforming use and no rezoning would be required
to allow BFI continuous operation and continuous planning for the
expansion project. Mr. Nestrud asked if that would be the same
with this annexation. He was told by Mr. Carpenter and Mr.
Lawson that it would, but was advised to present that to the
Board of Directors. City Attorney Tom Carpenter agreed, stating
that the major point is not that they intend to develop this to a
landfill facility, but that they have taken substantial steps
toward that development and have encouraged certain obligations.
Because of that, they can expand within the current boundaries
and not be in violation of the non - conforming use ordinance. Mr.
Nestrud stated that BFI has a lot of long range plans for this
landfill, including developing it into a wild life management
habitat. The Ordinance was then read the first time. There was
a motion by Director Scheibner, seconded by Director Lewellen, 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 or more of the members of the
Board of Directors - elect. Following the second reading of the
Ordinance, there was a motion and second to again suspend the
rules and place the Ordinance on third and final reading. The
motion was made by Director Lewellen, seconded by Director
Scheibner, 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 there was a third and last reading
of the Ordinance. A roll call vote was taken on the question,
Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the results recorded as follows:
Ayes - Directors Joyce, Lewellen, Mason, Mayor Dailey, Directors
Adcock, Hendrix, Scheibner and Keck - total 7; Noes - Director
Sharp - total 1; Abstentions - Director Hendrix - total 1; Absent
- Directors Priest and Roy - total 2.
The Emergency Clause contained in Section 3 of the foregoing
Ordinance was then read and adopted by the following roll call
vote: Ayes - Directors Joyce, Sharp, Lewellen, Mason, Mayor
Dailey, Directors Adcock, Hendrix, Scheibner and Keck - total 8;
Noes - None; Abstentions - Director Hendrix - total 1; Absent -
Directors Priest and Roy - total 2. Therefore, the Ordinance,
together with the Emergency section, was declared PASSED.
Consideration was then given to a proposed Ordinance
entitled:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ORDINANCE NO. 15,561 (THE 1994 BUDGET
ORDINANCE), APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR A VOICE MAIL TELEPHONE
SYSTEM; AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
Mr. Wendell Jones, Director of General Services, explained the
proposal to purchase a voice mail telephone system from Business
Communications System for $44,040, which the City would own and
maintain. In March, 1994, the City solicited bids for a voice
mail system and received 6 bids for the system with one bid for
services. Staff decided to enter into a pilot program with
R
J

Minutes
November 1, 1994
Voice -Tel to ascertain the interest and a survey showed that
users wanted to continue the voice mail services. Assistant City
Manager Brenda Donald explained that the pilot program allowed
the City to test the features and the practicality of obtaining a
voice mail system, without making an investment in the equipment.
Mr. Paul Oleson and Mr. Sam Custer of Business Communications
System responded to questions by the Board of Directors. Mr.
Bruce Branch of Voice -Tel explained that his company is a service
bureau and does not sell equipment, but he wanted to alert the
Board to the alternative means of providing a service rather than
purchasing a voice mail telephone system, which would soon be
outdated and obsolete. He then responded to questions by the
Board of Directors. City Attorney Tom Carpenter reminded Board
Members that the discussion should be whether to accept or reject
the bid to purchase the equipment. Director Sharp moved to defer
the Ordinance and the motion was seconded by Director Scheibner.
The motion FAILED by the following roll call vote: Ayes -
Directors Sharp, Lewellen, Hendrix and Scheibner - total 4; Noes
- Directors Joyce, Mason, Mayor Dailey, Directors Adcock and Keck
- total 5; Absent - Directors Priest and Roy - total 2.
Assistant City Manager Brenda Donald stated, "We are right up
against the door in terms of purchasing requirements. If the
Board opts not to approve this now, we will have to abandon the
service and then go out for bids at your direction." Responding
to a question by Director Keck regarding upgrading the system,
Mr. Jones stated: "We can purchase the software to upgrade our
equipment at any time." Following the lengthy discussion, the
Ordinance was read the first time. There was a motion by
Director Adcock, seconded by Director Keck, to suspend the rules
and place the Ordinance on second reading. A roll call vote was
taken on the motion to suspend the rules as follows: Ayes -
Directors Lewellen, Mason, Mayor Dailey, Directors Adcock,
Hendrix and Keck - total 6; Noes - Directors Joyce, Sharp and
Scheibner - total 3; Absent - Directors Priest and Roy - total 2.
The motion did not receive the required two - thirds vote;
therefore, the Ordinance was left on the calendar for second
reading on November 15, 1995.
The next presentation was Resolution No. 9,268, with the
title being:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT BIDS AND
AWARD A CONTRACT FOR ASBESTOS ABATEMENT AT 1924 SCHILLER STREET.
(Pickering EnviroRem, Inc. of Memphis - not to exceed $31,700.)
and the Resolution was read in full. There was a motion by
Director Sharp, seconded by Director Adcock, to adopt the
Resolution, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted by the
Board Members present.
Introduced next was a proposed Resolution, described as:
A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT SET FORTH IN
LITTLE ROCK, AR. RESOLUTION NO. 9,073 TO CHANGE THE DATE THE
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT APPLIES AND TO NOTE AN ADDITIONAL EXCEPTION
TO THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR PERSONS MARRIED TO LITTLE ROCK
EMPLOYEES; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Director Adcock requested that the Resolution be deferred until
the next meeting on November 15, 1994. Mr. Gene Tucker,
representing the Little Rock Firefighters, spoke in opposition to
the residency requirement. He said he would rather the Board
wait until January to review the residency requirement and look
at the entire picture; hear from Personnel, the City Manager,
employees and departments heads, and then hopefully rescind it
totally. The Resolution was deferred until November 15, 1994,
due to the absence of City Manager Charles Nickerson. (Note:

Director Adcock noted that the City would be without voice
mail the next day. (See proposed Resolution and discussion on
Page 7.) Assistant City Manager Brenda Donald said the contract
could not be extended because that would be in violation of
purchasing regulations. Director Adcock asked City Attorney Tom
Carpenter what steps could be taken to avoid discontinuing the
voice mail service. Mr. Carpenter said the Board could declare
it impractical to bid at this point and let the City Manager take
interim steps (he has the authority to allow purchases up to a
certain amount). Then, if necessary, the Board could adopt an
Ordinance memorializing the Board's intention to keep the service
from being disrupted. There was a general agreement by the
Board.
There being no further business to be presented, the Board
of Directors adjourned at 9:40 o'clock P.M. to meet again in
