Consideration was then given to a proposed Ordinance, entitled: AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR SCHOOL FLASHER SIGNALS; and the Ordinance was read the second time, having been read the first time on February 18, 1997. Director Adcock moved to amend the Ordinance to provide that the City will fund the six elementary schools with a grade over 11 (Chicot, Brady, Wakefield, Western Hills, Fullbright, and Mabelvale) with the schools being required to form a partnership with the school PTA and Neighborhood Association to help fund these; the junior high (Mann Magnet) and high schools (McClellan) will be given bumper strips or zebra stripes; and the rest of the funding to come from the street lighting fund. City Attorney Tom Carpenter had some concerns about the legality of entering into a partnership with the PTA, but stated if that is the desire of the Board, then leave the Ordinance on second 12 • Minutes March 18, 1997 reading and he will try to work out something.

Whereupon, the Ordinance was declared PASSED. Consideration was then given to Item 33 on the Agenda, which was a proposed Resolution described as: A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN OBJECTIVE STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED MERGER OF THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK WATER DEPARTMENT AND THE LITTLE ROCK WATER DEPARTMENT; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. Mr. Jim Harvey, Manager of Little Rock Municipal Water Works, introduced North Little Rock Water Department officials and stated that the Resolution has already been presented to the North Little Rock City Council and has been approved. Director Adcock suggested that a consultant look at the proposal and see if the merger is in the best interest of the City of Little Rock. Director Cazort felt the Board should have a plan and proposal to consider before adopting the Resolution; he wanted to know the pros and cons. Director Hodges suggested modifying the language to explore the possibility of establishing a metropolitan public drinking water system. Director Kumpuris suggested that Directors Cazort and Hodges work with City Attorney Tom Carpenter to write a Resolution to be considered next week. Therefore, the proposed Resolution was deferred until the reconvened meeting on March 25, 1997, or at a future meeting. Introduced next was Ordinance No. 17,438, with the title being: AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH PULASKI COUNTY UNITED WAY FOR LEASE OF THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE MCFADDEN BUILDING (615 WEST MARKHAM STREET) FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS; 13 Minutes March 18, 1997 885 and the Ordinance was read the first time. Assistant City Manager William Hunter responded to questions by the Board as to this being revenue neutral. Mayor Dailey asked if it was appropriate for the Board to direct the City Manager to present the Board with a master facilities plan. Responding to a question by Director Kumpuris about renovating and using Lee School for the Department of Housing & Neighborhood Programs, Mr. Hunter stated he had contacted HUD and was told that Lee School may not be an eligible site for the City's general operation.

The motion was seconded by Director Wilson and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the Ordinance was read the third and last time.

(Director Hodges re- enrolled at 10:00 P.M.) A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, which is recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Wyrick, 14 We • Minutes March 18, 1997 Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, Wilson, Hinton, Hodges, Cazort, Keck, Joyce, and Mayor Dailey - total 11; Noes - None; Absent - None.

(All professional services contracts will be presented to the Board of Directors for approval) Following the first reading of the Ordinance, Director Cazort moved to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on second reading. The motion was seconded by Director Keck and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the second reading of the Ordinance ensued. There was a subsequent motion and second by Directors Keck and Cazort, 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 eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the Ordinance was read the third and last time.

CODE SECTION 2 -242 (1988) TO PROHIBIT ANY EXPENDITURE FOR LOBBYING SERVICES WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES." City Attorney Tom Carpenter stated the Ordinance was redundant upon the passage of Ordinance No. 17,440 above, therefore the proposed Ordinance was withdrawn from the Agenda. Consideration was then given to a proposed Ordinance, described as: AN ORDINANCE DECLARING THE 1999 SISTER CITIES INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE COORDINATOR A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE; and the Ordinance was read the first time. Director Adcock moved for the suspension of the rules to provide for the second reading of the Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Director Keck, and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the second reading of the Ordinance ensued. The Ordinance was left on the calendar for third and final reading on April 1, 1997. Item 38 on the Agenda was a discussion regarding the condemnation of the structure at 1112 -1114 Schiller Street. (Note: The structure was condemned by Ordinance No. 17,294 on February 4, 1997. Rev. James Morgan was granted a 30 day extension on February 18, 1997.) Rev. Morgan requested another three months to complete the job, stating he is a 71 year old disabled veteran and is trying to finish the house as soon as possible. Director Cazort questioned him about using licensed carpenters, plumbers and electricians and using illegal and unapproved materials. Director Cazort then questioned Mr. Tim Polk, Director of Housing and Neighborhood Programs. Mr. Polk stated the house suffered a severe fire on November 24, 1996, causing 70% to 80% destruction of the interior support elements and the work should be done by someone that has expertise in burnouts. Mr. Polk said he could not recommend 15 Minutes March 18, 1997 887 an extension. There was no action by the Board to grant an extension; therefore, Rev. Morgan's request was denied. At the time allotted for Citizen Communications, the only speaker was Mr. Richard Bell, a member of the Private Industry Council (PIC). Mr. Bell emphasized the importance of the JTPA Program of the City of Little Rock and asked the Board to continue funding that program. (He was not present when the presentation regarding JTPA was made at the beginning of the meeting.) The other issue he addressed was the bidding process. He is frustrated when he sees detailed specifications for computer equipment that are written for a particular company or brand of equipment. He was pleased that the City has funded the disparity study and asked the Board to monitor what goes on. City Manager Charles Nickerson distributed copies of House Bill 2187 entitled: "AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE ACTIVITY OF PROVIDING DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION BY A STATE AGENCY TO THE PUBLIC CANNOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY CITY OR COUNTY FEES OR TAXES; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES." Mr. Nickerson stated that City Attorney Tom Carpenter has some reservations as to what this does to the City of Little Rock in terms of meeting federal guidelines and franchises with other fiber optic companies. Mr. Carpenter stated the problem is that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has provisions that mandate that local governments treat all telecommunications providers the same. We need to try to get a finding in there that the purpose of this bill is simply to recognize that there is a rational basis for treating state government differently, and that no city should intend to make monies off of their use of the streets (for computer services, for example). The Addendum to the Agenda consisted of two items as follows. The Minutes of the Board of Directors regular meeting held May 21, 1996, and the reconvened meeting held May 28, 1996, were approved as written and distributed to the Board of Directors, upon a motion by Director Keck, which was seconded by Director Cazort and unanimously adopted. The last item was a proposed Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE TO DESIGNATE FINANCIAL ADVISOR, INVESTMENT MANAGER, AND ACTUARIAL SERVICES AS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, PURSUANT TO AUTHORITY GRANTED IN ACT 429 OF 1995. The Ordinance was read the first time and left on the calendar for second reading on April 1, 1997. At 10:35 o'clock P.M. the Board of Directors recessed to Executive Session to evaluate City Manager Charles Nickerson and City Attorney Tom Carpenter. The Board of Directors reconvened at 12:30 o'clock A.M. with Mayor Dailey presiding and eight (8) Directors present (Directors Adcock and Wilson were absent). Mayor Dailey stated that the Board had evaluated City Manager Charles Nickerson, and no action was taken. The Board will evaluate City Attorney Tom Carpenter on Tuesday, March 25,1997. There being no further business to be presented, the Board of Directors recessed at 12:35 o'clock A.M. to reconvene on Tuesday, March 25, 1997, at 4:00 o'clock P.M. to consider telecommunications bids and to evaluate the City Attorney. ATTEST: APPROVED: <:atvlx� City Clerk Robbie Hancock rayorm Dailey 16 Minutes March 18, 1997 7 3 Commission's approval of a Conditional use Permit for Pankey New Life Community Center was adopted; and (2 and 3) Resolutions No. 9,937 and 9,938 were read and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present. A public hearing had been scheduled for this time and place by Resolution No. 9,928, adopted March 4, 1997, on the 1997 Consolidated Planning Process for the projected uses of 1997 CDBG, HOME and ESG funding. At 6:45 o'clock P.M. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing open. Ms. Sara Moore, CDBG & Housing Program Manager, made the staff presentation explaining the process. (Director Wilson re- enrolled at 6:55 o'clock P.M.) Speaking in opposition to the proposal were Doris Jones, Chair of the 1997 Consolidated Planning Committee. She said the Committee did not vote for or against the $3,000,000 Section 108 Loan, but the consensus during the discussion was that the Committee did not favor this use of the funds because the $400,000 payment would just eliminate the CDBG process as far as the neighborhoods are concerned. The neighborhoods want to have some control over the projects that happen in their community. They are in favor of the projects listed but not the Section 108 Loan. Mrs. Kathy Wells, President of the Downtown Neighborhood Association, said the Association was very disappointed at the City Manager's recommendation to borrow $3,000,000 to be spent on infrastructure using the CDBG funds as the source to repay that loan in future years. Mr. Joe Meehan, President of the Woodruff Community Development Corporation, spoke in favor of the 1997 funding allocation, but expressed concern about using CDBG monies to pay back the Section 108 loan for ten years. Mr. Ed Stanfield, 6512 Westover Drive, spoke in opposition to the proposal to borrow $3,000,000 in Section 108 funds to be paid back with CDBG funds, stating it is grossly unfair to low and moderate income people. Mr. David Manley, Chairman of the Board of Advocates for Battered Women, spoke in support of the allocation. Ms. Nancy Sheehan, Chair of the Woodruff School Area Planning Committee, showed pictures of houses in the area of the Maple Street Model Block Project, stating the committee developed a project with four parts: (1) drainage; (2) sidewalks, (3) street lights; and (4) condemned houses. Mr. Herb Hawn, spoke in support of the Maple Street Model Block Program. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing closed at 7:15 o'clock P.M. and Resolution No. 9,939 was introduced, with the title being: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PROJECTED USES OF 1997 CDBG, HOME AND ESG FUNDS; AND SECTION 108 LOANS. Director Keck moved to add to the list of projected uses a category of assistance to victims of domestic violence at $50,000 and delete daycare services. The motion was seconded by Director Wilson. The motion failed by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Wilson, Hodges, Cazort and Keck - total 4; Noes - Directors Wyrick, Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, Hinton, Joyce, and Mayor Dailey - total 7. Following a lengthy discussion, there was a motion by Director Wyrick, seconded by Director Joyce, to remove Section 1 of the Resolution (the City Manager is authorized to approve the projected uses of the 1997 CDBG, HOME and ESG Funds and a CDBG Section 108 loan in the amount of $3, 000, 000 for infrastructure), and vote on Section 2. The motion failed by a roll call vote as follows: Ayes - Directors Wyrick, Hinton, and Joyce - total 3; Noes - Directors Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, Wilson, Hodges, Cazort, Keck, and Mayor Dailey - total 8. After further discussion, City Attorney Tom Carpenter noted changes that should be made to the Resolution: (1) In Section 2 change $2, 318, 000 for CDBG to $2,608,000; (2) under the list of Projected Uses the Section 108 Loan Repayments should be changed from $491,500 to $581,500; (3) under Projected Resources the Projected Program Income should be increased from $200, 000 to $290, 000 to take care of the Board's commitment for the Framer School loan that was to be paid with CDBG monies but the CDBG Program was to be reimbursed with that $90, 000 from City monies that can be used for those items that are listed in CDBG and fulfill a public purpose. Director Adcock moved to amend the Resolution as recommended by Mr. Carpenter. The motion was seconded by Director Kelly and unanimously adopted. The Resolution, as amended, was then read and adopted by the following roll call vote; Ayes - Directors 2 674 Minutes March 18, 1997 Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, Wilson, Hinton, Hodges, Cazort, Keck, Joyce and Mayor Dailey - total 10; Noes - Director Wyrick - total 1.
