There was a presentation by Leanne Whiteside Manson ( ?) of Child and Family Evaluation Studies on the evaluation of the Women's Outpatient Treatment Program. Trends indicate a positive program impact. Assistant City Manager William Hunter made a presentation on the Information Master Plan and the Internet and showed a brief video. Director Keck recognized Volunteer Little Rock, a group of organizations coming together to help others. Representatives of Dorcas House, Stepping Stone, Arkansas Cares, UALR, Second Genesis Ministries, and Our House thanked the Board for being included in this project. Consideration was then given to the Consent Agenda which consisted of the following: (1) The Comparative Statement of Income Account of the Little Rock Municipal Water Works for the month of October, 1996.

At the time allotted for Citizen Communications, the first speaker was Mrs. Nellie Leonard, President of the East of Broadway Neighborhood Association, who thanked the Board for the Little Rock Beautification Program and the Neighborhood Enhancement Program. The next speaker during Citizen Communications was Mrs. Nancy Clark, who spoke in support of recycling. She was opposed to anyone having a second garbage cart for any purpose, because it defeats the recycling program. People should take more time to reuse, recycle, and reduce. Mr. Randy Boling, President of the Beverly Hills Neighborhood Association and former sheriffs captain, spoke about problems in the Little Rock Police Department and the bad attitude of some of the officers. The next speaker was Mr. Alan Morris, representing the Pennbrooke /Cloverhill Neighborhood Association, who addressed the problem with pedestrian and vehicular traffic on John Barrow Road between I -630 and West Markham. Explosive growth in 2 Minutes December 3, 1996 � 91. west Little Rock has added to the problem. There is excessive speeding in the school zone. Traffic signalization of this intersection is paramount for the safety and convenience of students, residents, and citizens who utilize this area. Why hasn't traffic signalization already been implemented? Vice Mayor Adcock asked the City Manager to provide a response to the Board. Mr. Don Crary, Director of New Futures, urged the Board to put children and youth high on the list of priorities during budget considerations. Mr. Fred Gray, Hathaway Group, said that several weeks ago he addressed the Board of Directors regarding a roof sign and PDI, and the Board discussed potential revisions to the sign: (1) what could be done to make the roof sign more historical, and (2) to voluntarily consider the review of the roof sign in five years. (Mr. Gray was referring to "The Edge" PDI (Z -6166) at 1010 East 3rd Street and the application for a roof sign by owners Dennis and Danny Martindill. See Minutes of November 7, 1996, page S.) Mr. Gray reported that since then he had met with heritage and preservation individuals with the State, the Quapaw Quarter Association, and a representative of the Planning & Development Office, and in that meeting found that neon and roof signs were prevalent in the early 1900's in Little Rock and throughout Arkansas. The height of the sign is two feet below the pitch of the roof. His client feels comfortable with the historical nature of the sign and will probably not be making any revisions. His client also feels the need for the roof sign will not be diminished in five years, but will cooperate with any group that would like to review roof signs in general. The last speaker under Citizen Communications was Mr. Jerry Bradley who addressed the Board regarding funding for Central Arkansas Transit Authority (CATA). He stated the low and moderate income community does not have access to get to where they need to go without the bus service. A cut of $430,000 is being proposed and he urged the Board to please restore the full $430,000 to the CATA budget and do not cut night and weekend bus service. Consideration was given to Item 18 on the Agenda, which was an Ordinance entitled: "AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR AND ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1997, AND ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1997; APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR EACH AND EVERY CLASS OF EXPENDITURE THEREIN PROVIDED; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY," and was discussed from 7:13 o'clock until 8:20 o'clock P.M. with a number of speakers making requests.

The proposed Budget Ordinance was not read. At 8:20 o'clock P.M. Vice Mayor Adcock declared a ten minute recess. The Board reconvened at 8:35 o'clock P.M. with Vice Mayor Adcock presiding and eight Directors present. Director Keck and Mayor Dailey were absent. Mr. Michael Aureli, Hospice Foundation of Arkansas, stated that Little Rock does not have a hospice home and asked the Board to consider a $50,000 grant as seed money to begin the process for opening a facility in Little Rock to provide end of life care for twenty patients. Item 4 on the Agenda was a motion to set the date for a public hearing on December 17, 1996, on the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a ki 592 Minutes December 3, 1996 Conditional Use Permit for Our House (Z- 5239 -C), located in the old VA Hospital facility at 302 East Roosevelt Road, which was filed by Nellie Leonard, president of the East Broadway Neighborhood Association. Director Sharp moved for the adoption of the motion, which was seconded by Director Joyce, and the motion was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present. The next presentation was Ordinance No. 17,330, with the title being: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, PROVIDING FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE CURRENT LANGUAGE FOR PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION; and the Ordinance was read the first time. There was a motion by Director Sharp, seconded by Director Mason, 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, and the Ordinance was read the second time. There was a subsequent motion and second by Directors Mason and Joyce, respectively, to again suspend the rules to provide for the third and final reading of the Ordinance. 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, and the third and final reading of the Ordinance ensued. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the vote recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Hinton, Hodges, Joyce, Wyrick, Sharp, Mason, Kumpuris, Wilson and Vice Mayor Adcock - total 9; Noes - None; Absent - Director Keck and Mayor Dailey - total 2. Whereupon, the Ordinance was declared PASSED. A public hearing had been scheduled for this time and place upon a motion adopted on November 7, 1996, on the appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a Conditional Use Permit for 19 multisectional manufactured homes within the Rolling Pines Subdivision, Phase II (Z- 6181), located at the east end of Woodland Drive. The appeal was filed by Mr. Thomas L. Hodges and the public hearing was scheduled for November 19, 1996, but was deferred until December 3, 1996 at the request of Mr. Hodges (see Minutes of 11- 19 -97). Vice Mayor Adcock declared the public hearing open at 8:45 o'clock P.M. The first speaker was Mr. J. D. Harper, Executive Director of the Arkansas Manufactured Housing Association, who spoke in support of the proposal and read a portion of a letter of support by Mr. Jim Vontungeln, Urban Planning Associates, and a former Little Rock Planning Commissioner. He concluded by urging the Board to overrule the Planning Commission's decision and approve the Rolling Pines CUP. The next speaker in support was Mr. Tom Hodges, representing the ownership of the lots and the applicant. He gave a brief history of Rolling Pines, stating that it was developed in 1974 outside the city limits, annexed to the City of Little Rock in 1982, and received City utilities in 1994. The idea of manufactured homes was a viable option for developing the remaining undeveloped lots, and manufactured homes must meet all City codes. This is an opportunity for low to moderate income families who qualify. (Director Keck re- enrolled at 9:00 o'clock P.M.) Speaking in opposition to the manufactured homes was Susan Myers and Rev. Roger Free. Rev. Free had a petition signed by home owners in the area who believed this would have a negative impact on their neighborhood. He also referred to the Bill of Assurance which prohibits mobile homes. Rev. Free made a lengthy presentation and also displayed pictures of mobile homes for the Board to see. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Planning and Development, responded to questions by the Board. He stated that manufactured homes do meet all code requirements. From a legal standpoint, these homes meet the code and ordinance requirements. The issue is whether or not these 19 houses should be allowed on this site. One compromise would be not to approve lots 18, 19, 20, 99 and 98, which are the first 5 lots that transition from the "stick built" homes, and allow Mr. Hodges to open up the remaining lots for manufactured homes. City Attorney Tom Carpenter responded to questions by stating that the Board of Directors does not enforce Bills of Assurance, and that the Board, some time ago, made the policy determination that a manufactured home (which is defined differently from a mobile home in the ordinance) could be allowed in "R -2" zonings with a conditional use 11 Minutes December 3, 1996 093 permit. The matter before the Board tonight does not list those conditions. The Board is not free to deny just because these are manufactured homes, but you are able to require that certain things be met - structural codes, foundation codes, etc. Following the lengthy discussion, Director Kumpuris moved to send this matter back to the Planning Commission, and the motion was seconded by Director Keck. The motion failed by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Kumpuris, Wilson, Keck, and Vice Mayor Adcock - total 4; Noes - Directors Hinton, Hodges, Joyce, Wyrick, Sharp and Mason - total 6; Absent - Mayor Dailey - total 1.

The motion failed for lack of a second; therefore, the Resolution failed to be adopted.
