City Hall — 500 W. Markham
April 14, 2009
4:00 PM
The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, met in a Reconvened
Meeting with Mayor Stodola presiding. Nancy Wood, City Clerk, called the roll. The
following Directors present: Hendrix; Richardson; Adcock; Wyrick; Cazort; Hurst;
Wright; Kumpuris; Vice Mayor Fortson; and Mayor Stodola. Director Keck was absent.
Mayor Stodola announced that due to the replacement of the elevator system at City Hall,
all Little Rock Board of Directors Meetings would be held at Robinson Center through
the end of July.
Mayor Stodola stated that he had received communication from Director Keck that he
would be out tonight attending to a family illness, and would like the Board to defer the
evaluation of the City Attorney due to the fact that he would like to participate in the
evaluation.
Director Hendrix asked if this would be fair to Mr. Carpenter to keep delaying the
evaluation.
Mayor Stodola stated that if it is a salary issue and a salary increase is recommended then
it would be retroactive, and would not affect the delay.
Director Kumpuris made a motion to take a poll of the Board to find out what date all
Board Members could be in attendance, and call a special meeting for that date to
conduct the evaluation. Director Cazort seconded the motion. By unanimous voice vote
of the Board Members present, the motion carried.
Director Cazort asked as a procedural matter, would this meeting be deferred, or would
this meeting be adjourned. Mayor Stodola stated this meeting would need to be
adjourned.
Director Kumpuris asked if the Board could go into Executive Session to discuss a
procedural matter. Mr. Carpenter advised that it in order for the Board to go into
Executive Session, the issue had to be a personnel matter. Due to the fact that the issue
was a procedural matter, Director Kumpuris withdrew his motion.
Director Cazort made a motion, seconded by Director Richardson to adjourn the meeting.
By unanimous voice vote of the Board Members present, the meeting was adjourned.
APPROVED:
lerk Mark Stodola,
