May 28, 1996 - 4:10 P.M.
The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, reconvened from the
May 21, 1996 regular meeting with Mayor Jim Dailey presiding. City Clerk Robbie
Hancock called the roll with the following Directors present: Directors Sharp, Mason,
Kumpuris, Adcock, Hinton, Keck, and Wyrick - total 7; Absent - Directors Wilson,
Hodges, and Joyce - total 3.
With a quorum present, Mayor Dailey declared the Board of Directors in session
and stated the purpose of the reconvened meeting was to consider an Ordinance regarding
the River Market Design Overlay District, which had been deferred from May 7, 1996
and May 14, 1996.
Mayor Dailey announced that the proposed Ordinance entitled: "AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING LITTLE ROCK ORDINANCE NO. 17,136 TO ADD
DESIGN GUIDELINES TO THE RIVER MARKET DESIGN OVERLAY
DISTRICT, TO CODIFY IN CHAPTER 36 OF THE LITTLE ROCK CODE OF
ORDINANCES, TO ADD LANGUAGE CONCERNING PURPOSES AND INTENT
AND APPLICATION OF DISTRICT REGULATIONS; DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES" would be deferred until June 4,
1996.
(Director Hodges enrolled at 4:15 o'clock P.M.)
Dr. Roy Bland, 5111 "B" Street, had attended the Board of Directors regular
meeting on May 21, 1996, and turned in a card to speak during Citizen
Communications. However, his card was misplaced and he was not given the
opportunity to speak. Assistant City Manager Cy Carney had written a letter of apology
to Dr. Bland and invited him to address the Board of Directors at the reconvened meeting.
Dr. Bland spoke to the Board on the issue of applying the leash law to cats. He named
a number of cities that do have cat leash laws and requested that the Little Rock Code of
Ordinances be amended to include a cat leash law. Director Adcock stated that the local
Veterinarian Association is currently working on a cat leash law to present to the City of
Little Rock. Public Works Director Chandra Russell stated that staff proposed a cat leash
law about three years ago, but the Board of Directors and the general public were not
agreeable at that time. She suggested that the Veterinarian Association work with the
Little Rock Animal Services Division to come up with the best possible cat leash law.
There being no further business to be presented, the reconvened meeting was
adjourned at 4:20 o'clock P.M. to meet again in regular session on Tuesday, June 4, 1996,
at 6:00 o'clock P.M.
