Police Chief Louie Caudell gave a briefing on the Community Policing Program, stating that the 1992 Budget provides funding for 15 community policing beats. The 15 police officers will patrol neighborhoods on horseback, foot and bicycle beginning June 1, 1992. There will be 3 additional horse mounted officers, 4 bicycle mounted officers, and 8 additional footbeat officers. There will be at least one beat officer at each neighborhood alert center area. Upon question by Director Hollingsworth, Chief Caudell stated that the community policing concept is one of returning officers to personal interaction with the citizens they serve. Mayor Priest introduced Boy Scout Troop 59 members Jerry Franklin, Rodney Conley and Douglas Harpole, with Assistant Scout Master Eric Francis. Mayor Priest presented a Certificate of Appreciation to Jawanda LaKrisha Powell, age 15, a graduate of the A -Team Student Life Guard Training Program. LaKrisha saved the life of a child who panicked while swimming in Jackson, Mississippi. At the time allotted for Citizens Communication, Mr. William H. Hill, 2509 Bishop Street, addressed the Board of Directors regarding the sidewalk condition in the 2500 block of Bishop Street. He stated he had appeared before the Board of Directors in years past asking that the sidewalks be repaired, because trees have uprooted the sidewalks. He stated that in 1989 the streets and sidewalks were supposed to be repaired beginning in the 2500 block of Bishop Street. Instead the contractor started in the 2600 block and went south. Mr. Hill came to the Board of Directors then (1989) and asked why the work began in the 2600 block and the 2500 block was eliminated when the 2500 block was much worse. Upon question by Mayor Priest, City Manager Tom Dalton stated that the work done in 1989 was probably the old Block Grant Program, which was stopped because repairing damaged sidewalks was using up all the funds. Mr. Dalton stated that the City has no program to pay the cost for repairing sidewalks; the property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks. Mayor Priest asked that the records be reviewed to see if a commitment was made to Mr. Hill, and that Mr. Hill be notified in writing. (A search of the Minutes revealed that Mr. Hill appeared before the Board of Directors May 6, 1986 and February 21, 1989, and the City Manager and Director of Public Works were asked to investigate Mr. Hill's complaints.) Director Hollingsworth asked for a clarification of who owns the trees between the sidewalk and the curb and who has the right to remove them. The next speaker was Mr. Leander Surratt, 2600 S. Tyler Street, who addressed the Board regarding the new War Memorial Fitness Center. He stated the rates are too high for lower and 2 Minutes May 19, 1992 moderate income families to use the facility daily and asked that the rates be lowered. Director Dailey noted that the policy decision was that the Fitness Center would generate enough revenue over a period of time to be a self- sustaining facility. Director Hollingsworth asked for a report on what plans the Parks & Recreation Department has for facilities and activities in the Oak Forest area, particularly when children are out of school during the summer. Mr. John Bradford, 2724 West 7th Street, again asked for more time to make repairs to a house he owns at 2022 West 16th Street, which has been scheduled for demolition by the City. He still has not been able to obtain financing to make the necessary repairs to meet housing code requirements. (See Minutes of 10 -15- 91 and 1- 21 -92.) Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of the Department of Neighborhoods and Planning, stated that the bid has been let to demolish the house. He also stated that the approximate cost of making the necessary repairs is $25,000, and that people in the neighborhood might be interested in purchasing the house to avoid demolition. He recommended an extension of 72 hours to allow time for the neighborhood to purchase the house if desired. During the discussion, Board Members generally agreed to grant a 72 hour administrative extension to give the Central High Neighborhood an opportunity to purchase the condemned house, and if it does not, then proceed with the demolition. Mayor Priest announced that there would be a five minute recess. When the Board of Directors reconvened, Mayor Priest presided and the following Directors were present: Directors Roy, Hollingsworth, Lewellen, Dailey and Catlett - total 5; Absent - Director Shackelford - total 1. Mr. Ari Merretazon, recently appointed to the Museum of Science & History Board of Trustees, stated he had been appointed by the Museum Board to chair a committee to save the Mosaic Templars of America Building at 9th and Broadway, which at one time served as the hub for black social and commercial life downtown. The property is scheduled to be purchased for a fast food establishment (Backyard Burgers) . He asked the City of Little Rock to assist the Museum in acquiring and saving the historic building to be used possibly as an African - American History Museum. Following a brief discussion among Board Members, Mr. Merretazon agreed to provide Board Members with a report after the committee did further research on the cost of acquiring and renovating the building and made its recommendations. Mr. Merretazon also expressed concern for the community policing program for the inner city neighborhoods of Little Rock. Consideration was then given to Zoning Application Z -5556, filed by Melody Parsley, to rezone 46.5 acres at the southwest corner of Crystal Valley Road and Col. Carl Miller Road from 11R- 2" Single - family District to "AF" Agriculture and Forestry District. The reclassification was approved by the Planning Commission on April 21, 1992.

Mayor Priest asked City Attorney Tom Carpenter to explain the provisions of the Ordinance and to discuss some of the other issues that have been raised. Mr. Carpenter stated the purpose of this ordinance is to clarify and fill a void. There is no state statute dealing with cities calling a curfew in a necessary situation. This ordinance sets up a process or procedure to be followed by the City in the event a curfew for minors is deemed necessary because of circumstances that are not subject to control under the use of normal police_ practices. Upon question by Director Hollingsworth, Mr. Carpenter reiterated that this is not a general curfew, but a procedure to limit the ability to call a curfew. Mr. Carpenter also explained the two major issues which are the notice provision (Section 8) and the penalty provision (Section 10). Citizens speaking on the curfew ordinance were as follows: Mr. Kim Bertram, 1503 Woodland, stated he did not support the 7 092 Minutes May 19, 1992 Ordinance and it should go to an ad hoc committee or something that takes it out of the hands of the Board. Representative Irma Brown said this sends a terrible message across the country. Mr. John Walker said this ordinance sends a negative message to the black community because it will only be applied to black youngsters. He also stated the City should have a civil rights bill, a gun control bill, and a youth employment bill. Mr. Craig Rains, 2301 Vernon Ave., was in favor of the ordinance, but said it does not go far enough; we've got to have a tool in our hands if we need it in case of emergency and this is a start; also parents need to get involved. Mr. Austin Porter, Jr., #6 Woodwind Dr., said the City needs to send a message of healing and of promoting racial harmony in the City. Mr. Melvin Moss stated he was opposed to the ordinance; we need to have people come together to work out this type of problem. He asked the Board to take the time to sit down with concerned citizens and find a way to impose a community curfew; let the community decide its own mechanism. Mr. Dale Charles, NAACP, was very concerned about the curfew as it relates to juveniles and the black community and said the black community should have more input into what will effect them. Mr. C. E. McAdoo, 1113 S. State Street, pastor of Wesley United Methodist Church, gave 15 seconds of his time to commemorate the birthday of Malcom X. He then said the City had the right to cordon off any area of the City it needs to and asked that the Board not pass this ordinance. Ms. Vanessa Bradford (Teen Talk Member) spoke against the ordinance stating it is not detailed enough because it does not tell what time. Mr. Ari Merretazon asked the Board not to pass this ordinance. During the lengthy Board discussion, Director Lewellen stated he was not in favor of the Ordinance. There was a motion by Director Dailey, seconded by Director Hollingsworth, to amend the Ordinance to replace Section 8 (Notice) and Section 10 (Penalties) with the language provided by City Attorney Tom Carpenter as follows: "SECTIONS. Notice. Notice of the declaration of a curfew shall be given as soon as possible after the curfew is declared or extended. Notice may be accomplished by the law enforcement officer giving actual notice, by publishing a notice in a daily local newspaper, or by issuing appropriate public statements to local radio and television stations for immediate release. Notice shall also be run on City operated public access cable television channels. "SECTION 10. Penalties. Any person, not exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of the sate juvenile court, convicted of a violation of this ordinance, or of the provisions of an ordinance extending a curfew as authorized by Section 7 of this ordinance, shall be punished as provided in section 1 -9 of the Little Rock, Ark., Revised Code of Ordinances." The motion to amend the Ordinance was adopted by a vote of 5 ayes, 1 no (Director Lewellen), and 1 absent (Director Shackelford). The Ordinance, as amended, was then read the second time, having been read the first time on April 21, 1992 (see Minutes of 4 -21 -92 and 5- 5 -92). There was a motion by Director Dailey, seconded by Director Catlett, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was adopted by a vote of 5 ayes, 1 no (Director Lewellen), and 1 absent (Director Shackelford). There was a third and final reading of the Ordinance, as amended. The question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, was submitted to an Aye and No Vote, which is recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Dailey, Catlett, Mayor Priest, Directors Roy and Hollingsworth - total 5; Noes - Director Lewellen - total 1; Absent - Director Shackelford - total 1. 8 I� Minutes May 19, 1992 The Emergency Clause contained in Section 12 of the foregoing Ordinance was then adopted by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Dailey, Catlett, Mayor Priest, Directors Roy and Hollingsworth - total 5; Noes - Director Lewellen - total 1; Absent - Director Shackelford - total 1. Therefore, the Ordinance, as amended, together with the Emergency Section, was declared PASSED. The last matter to be considered was Ordinance No. 16,220, with the title being: AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE SUSPENSION OF SPECIAL ACTIVITIES DIRECTED TOWARD MINORS; TO PROVIDE FOR A PERMIT TO RESUME SUCH ACTIVITIES IF A SUSPENSION SHOULD RESULT; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. City Attorney Tom Carpenter recommended that the Ordinance be amended to correct the language in Section 2. A motion was made by Director Catlett, seconded by Director Hollingsworth, to amend Section 2. "Cessation of activities contributing to the need for imposition of a curfew for minors." to include on line 27 the language "engage in commercial activities specifically directed primarily toward minors." The motion was adopted by a vote of 5 ayes, 1 no (Director Lewellen) and 1 absent (Director Shackelford). The Ordinance, as amended, was then read the second time, having been read the first time on April 21, 1992 (see Minutes of 4 -21 -92 and 5- 5 -92). There was a motion by Director Dailey, seconded by Director Hollingsworth, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was adopted by a vote of 5 ayes, 1 no (Director Lewellen), and 1 absent (Director Shackelford). (Director Lewellen was excused at 8:41 o'clock P.M.) There was a third and final reading of the Ordinance, as amended. The question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, was submitted to an Aye and No Vote, which is recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Dailey, Catlett, Mayor Priest, Directors Roy and Hollingsworth - total 5; Noes - None; Absent - Directors Lewellen and Shackelford - total 1. (Director Lewellen was re- enrolled at 8:46 P.M.)

Therefore, the Ordinance, as amended, together with the Emergency Section, was declared PASSED. There being no further business to be presented, the Board of Directors recessed at 8:55 o'clock P.M. to reconvene on Wednesday, May 27, 1992, at 1:30 o'clock P.M. to consider appointments.
