Board of Directors Room
City Hall - 500 W. Markham
Little Rock, Arkansas
August 27, 1996 - 4:30 P.M.
The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, reconvened from the
August 20, 1996, regular meeting with Mayor Jim Dailey presiding. City Clerk Robbie
Hancock called the roll with the following Directors present: Directors Sharp, Mason,
Kumpuris, Hinton, Hodges, Keck, Joyce and Wyrick - total 8; Absent - Directors Adcock
and Wilson - total 2.
With a quorum present, Mayor Dailey declared the Board of Directors in session
and stated the purpose of the reconvened meeting was to consider the Valley
Drive/McClellan CDC and to make appointments to the Commission on Domestic
Violence. Also added to the Agenda was a Resolution approving the connection of a
sanitary sewer line in Alexander to the Little Rock sanitary sewer system.
Mr. Bill Bunten, Director of Parks and Recreation, was presented a Certificate of
Appreciation by the Arkansas Department of Human Services for the Summer Youth
Nutritional Program.
(Vice Mayor Adcock enrolled at 4:35 o'clock P.M.)
Consideration was then given to Resolution No. 9,782 entitled:
A RESOLUTION TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 17, 1996,
TO CONSIDER A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN
THAT DEFINES AFFORDABILITY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. (Re: Valley
Drive/McClellan CDC Project.)
Mr. Tim Polk, Director of Housing and Neighborhood Programs, explained the proposal.
The City's definition of affordability is housing expense which does not exceed 30% of a
tenant's gross income. The McClellan CDC and the local LISC Program Director
maintain that for the benefit of the Valley Drive Project and other tax credit projects the
definition should be amended to allow total housing expense to consume up to 40% of
tenant income. Staff stands firm on the 30% affordability. Changing the definition of
affordability requires amending the City's Consolidated Plan, which in turn requires a
public hearing. The Resolution will set the public hearing for September 17, 1996, to
consider the amendment. The Resolution was then read in full. There was a motion by
Director Keck to adopt the Resolution. The motion was seconded by Director Sharp, and
the Resolution was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present.
The next presentation was Resolution No. 9,783, described as:
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONNECTION OF A SANITARY
SEWER LINE AT 13521 SECOND STREET IN THE CITY OF ALEXANDER,
ARKANSAS TO THE LITTLE ROCK SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM.
Mr. Norris Wallace, 13251 Second Street, Alexander, Arkansas, had submitted a letter
asking the Board of Directors to allow him to connect to the sewage line in Alexander.
Assistant City Manager Cy Carney explained that the City of Little Rock does not have
an agreement with the City of Alexander for connection of sewer lines, as with other
cities. Without an agreement with Alexander, the Board of Directors must approve the
connection. The Resolution was then read in full. There was a motion by Director Keck
for adoption of the Resolution. The motion was seconded by Director Hinton, and the
Resolution was adopted unanimously by the Board Members present.
