The next speaker was Mr. Noel Washington, 232 Ringo Street, who said people have been falsely told that the Federal Reserve Bank is governed by the federal government, but it is a privately owned corporation (members of the Jewish community in Europe). He said people should find out who controls their money. 2 761 762 Minutes November 1, 1994 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.

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.

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 766 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.

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: See discussion at the end of the meeting.) 7 Minutes November 1, 1994 7 6 7'y, At 9:00 o'clock P.M. the Board of Directors recessed to Executive Session to consider appointments to various Boards and Commissions.

Director Sheibner moved for the adoption of the Resolution. The motion was seconded by Director Keck, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present. 8 G 1 768 Minutes November 1, 1994 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 regular session on Tuesday, November 15, 1994, at 6:00 o'clock P.M.
