The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, met in regular
session with Mayor Jim Dailey presiding. City Clerk Robbie Hancock called the roll
with the following Directors present: Directors Pugh, Hinton, Lichty, Cazort, Keck,
Stewart, Wyrick, Kumpuris, Kelly, and Adcock - total 10; Absent - none.
With a quorum present, Mayor Dailey declared the Board of Directors in session
and the proceedings of the meetings are recorded as follows.
The Invocation was given by Director Lichty, followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Director Adcock moved to add to the Agenda the items listed on the Agenda
Modifications plus one item requested by City Attorney Tom Carpenter, and a
presentation. The motion was seconded by Director Kelly and unanimously adopted.
(See Ordinance No. 18,004, Resolutions No. 10,539 and 10,546.)
Mayor Dailey read a proclamation which proclaimed May 3 -7, 1999, as National
Flood Awareness Week in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. The proclamation was
presented to Mr. Bob Turner, Assistant Director of Public Works.
Mayor Dailey read another proclamation which proclaimed May 16 -22, 1999, as
National Public Works Week in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. This proclamation
was also presented to Mr. Bob Turner, Assistant Director of Public Works.
Director Kelly read a proclamation which proclaimed the month of May, 1999, as
Mental Health Awareness Month in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. The
proclamation was presented to Karen Flake of the Centers for Youth and Families.
Director Kelly also read a proclamation which proclaimed May 4, 1999, as
Prevention, Intervention and Treatment Day in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas.
There were a number of people present who represent the various agencies that
participate in the PIT programs. (See Resolutions No. 10,534 through 10,538 below)
Mr. Haskell Dickinson gave an update on the Boys and Girls Clubs of Little
Rock. There are four units located in the City. Mr. Dickinson expressed thanks to the
Board for its help. (See Resolution No. 10,538 below.)
At the request of Mayor Dailey, Assistant Police Chief Stuart Thomas reported on
the joint meeting of the Little Rock School District and Little Rock Police Department
regarding terroristic threats by students. A joint statement was issued to the media
which reiterated the commitment to provide security at the schools. They have been
unable to confirm the rumors of something to happen on May 5, 1999. (The shooting at
the school in Columbine, Colorado has raised concerns throughout the nation)
The last presentation was by Lewis - Burnett Employment Finders regarding Job
Placement and Training Programs. Ms. Lottie Keaton, Minority Economic
Development Manager, introduced Darlene Lewis and Essie Ragler. The ladies
explained their program which is taking applications, doing reference checks, training,
and assessment, etc. to help people find jobs. They also assist with transportation. This
is not just welfare -to -work citizens. They have been doing this since 1994. They do
everything an employment agency does except charge a fee. They presented the Board
with a copy of their business plan and a monthly activity report, and asked the Board to
help any way it could — with facilities, equipment, etc. Director Stewart said she had
talked with the ladies about their program and hoped the Board will support it. Director
Kelly said there are several venues for Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Ragler to offer these services
to welfare recipients through the Welfare -To -Work initiative in which the Community
Programs Department is involved. Another venue is the Pulaski County T- Coalition.
Director Adcock said she had also visited with these ladies. She said there are going to
be seven (7) family development centers in Pulaski County, and she suggested they
contact those centers. Mrs. Lewis said they are working with the T- Coalition now
through the Department of Human Services (DHS). The people fill out applications at
448
Minutes

DHS, then DHS sends them to the Lewis - Burnett Agency and they put them to work.
Director Kelly said they need to talk to the T- Coalition, because money is available and
that is where it is coming from.
Consideration was then given to Ordinance No. 18,004, which was added to the
Agenda at the request of City Attorney Tom Carpenter, with the title being:
AN ORDINANCE TO DISPENSE WITH THE COMPETITIVE
SELECTION PROCESS FOR LEGAL COUNSEL; TO AUTHORIZE AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND H. WILLIAM ALLEN, ESQ., TO
HANDLE LITIGATION CONCERNING THE EXCELSIOR HOTEL; TO
DECLARE AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
City Attorney Tom Carpenter explained that for several months the City of Little Rock
and its Advertising & Promotion Commission have been engaged in negotiations with M.
S. Green - Little Rock Corp. which operates the Excelsior Hotel and currently has the
concession agreement for the Statehouse Convention Center. As explained by Director
Kumpuris at the Board of Directors meeting on April 27, 1999, an agreement has not
been reached and negotiations have halted. M. S. Green has filed suit to prevent the City
from contracting with any other entity for concessions in the new portion of the
Statehouse Convention Center. Since the case may require testimony by Mr. Carpenter
and by Mr. Hal Kemp, attorney for the A &P Commission, there is a need for outside
counsel. The Ordinance was then read the first time. The rules were suspended to
provide for the second and third readings of the Ordinance by unanimous vote of the
Board Members present, being eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members
of the Board of Directors. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance
Pass, with the vote recorded as follows: Ayes — Directors Pugh, Hinton, Lichty, Cazort,
Keck, Stewart, Wyrick, Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock and Mayor Dailey — total 11; Noes —
None; Absent — None.
The Emergency Clause contained in Section 4 of the foregoing Ordinance was
read and adopted by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Pugh, Hinton, Lichty,
Cazort, Keck, Stewart, Wyrick, Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, and Mayor Dailey - total 11;
Noes - None; Absent - None. Whereupon, the Ordinance, together with the
Emergency Clause, was declared PASSED.
Items 13 through 17 on the Agenda related to Prevention, Intervention and
Treatment Programs. At the request of Director Adcock for the benefit of those in the
audience, Mayor Dailey read the list of organizations receiving funds for summer youth

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH JIMMY A. PATTON CONTRACTOR INC.
AND ROGERS AND DILLON CONTRACTING COMPANY FOR DEMOLITION
OF TWENTY -FOUR (24) TORNADO DAMAGED STRUCTURES.
Upon a motion and second by Directors Adcock and Keck, respectively, the Consent
Agenda was adopted by unanimous voice vote of the Board Members present.
(Directors Kelly and Stewart re- enrolled at 7:05 o'clock P.M.)
At the time allotted for Citizen Communications, the first speaker was Rev.
John C. Collins, 1600 S. Arch Street, who spoke in support of Item #8 to amend the
Land Use Plan in the Central City District.
The next speaker during Citizen Communications was Mr. Hyatt Lee, 120
Vernon Street, whose concern was the direction the City is taking. He referred to Mayor
Dailey's statement a few months ago that he hoped Little Rock would be a small Atlanta
in a few years. Mr. Lee said he didn't believe that was the sentiment of the majority of
the residents of Little Rock. Another point of concern was that it seems some have taken
the position of divide and conquer in order to pass the proposed tax increase. Several
weeks ago he addressed the Board of Directors to express his concern about cutting trees
to expand Hindman Golf Course. The question was framed in an "either -or" way: teach
black children to play golf or save the trees. Mr. Wyatt felt a multi - million dollar soccer
complex is well beyond the reach of most black children geographically and financially.
Mr. Lynn Davis (former State Police Director) was the next speaker during
Citizen Communications. He referred to an article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette
on May 4, 1999 by John Ellis of the Boston Globe " CBS should fire Howard Stern."
Mr. Davis was concerned that a person could get on television and say something like he
said about the recent Columbine High School shooting. Mr. Davis was also concerned
that Comcast Cable would show programs like World Wide Wrestling in which a girl was
strapped to a gurney screaming "Don't kill me, " while the announcer was saying "We
are going to send her to hell. " He asked the Board to view that segment of the program
and do something about the morals clause in the franchise with Comcast Cable.
Consideration was then given to Ordinance No. 18,005, described as:
AN ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE AN AMENDMENT TO THE TERMS OF
CHAPTER 31 OF THE LITTLE ROCK, ARK., CODE OF ORDINANCE TO
PROVIDE FOR MASTER STREET PLAN RIGHT -OF -WAY REQUIREMENTS
FOR LOT 1, BRADY HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUB ADDITION LOCATED
AT 8313 WEST MARKHAM STREET; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
City Attorney Tom Carpenter explained that a new Ordinance had been distributed to the
Board that provides for Master Street Plan right -of -way requirements that will permit the
issuance of necessary building permits without ROW dedication until such time as the
City needs the dedication. The new title needs to be amended to delete the words
"waiver of ". The U.S. Postal Service is leasing the property and is not in a position to
4

dedicate right -of -way, and the property owner is unwilling to do so. Mr. David
Taliaferro, representing the U.S. Postal Service, said the lease runs until 2010 and the
Postal Services wants to expand its dock and canopy. Director Cazort moved to amend
the title of the new Ordinance as requested by Mr. Carpenter, and to substitute the
new Ordinance for the previous Ordinance that had been read the first time on
April 20, 1999, and the second time on April 27, 1999. The motion was seconded by
Director Lichty and unanimously adopted. The substitute Ordinance, as amended, was
then read the third and last time. A roll call vote was taken on passage of the Ordinance
as follows: Ayes — Directors Pugh, Hinton, Lichty, Cazort, Keck, Stewart, Wyrick,
Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock and Mayor Dailey — total 11; Noes — None; Absent — None.
Whereupon, the Ordinance was declared PASSED. (In response to Director Cazort's
question about a permanent Ordinance for this type situation, Mr. Carpenter said his
staff is trying to work through that.)
Item 8 on the Agenda was a proposed Ordinance titled:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE LAND USE PLAN (16,222) IN THE
CENTRAL CITY PLANNING DISTRICT FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MIXED;
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
(LU99 -08 -06 - Portion of block bounded by Roosevelt Rd., Battery, 24th and Wolfe
Streets.)
Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Planning and Development, said there is no Central High
Plan at this point. This is a request to change the Land Use Plan; the zoning request will
come back to the Board as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with three residential
units and an office for her business as a bail bondsman. (See Minutes of April 20, 1999.)
Director Kumpuris felt having an office in a 4 -plex tilts automatically. Mr. Lawson said
staff is trying to encourage reinvestment. Director Lichty encouraged redevelopment and
supported the Ordinance. Director Cazort said at some point the Board is going to have
to address the issue of in -home businesses. Mr. Gary Brown, 4217 West 17"' Street,
spoke in support of the Land Use Plan amendment. (See Citizen Communications for
comments by Rev. Collins who spoke in support) At the request of Director Adcock,
Mrs. Janet McDonald, a member of the Wright Avenue Neighborhood Association,
addressed the Board, and presented four letters in opposition to having a bail bondsman
in the neighborhood. Director Kumpuris was opposed to the Ordinance, saying this is
changing the character of a piece of property that is an active unit. Director Adcock
asked the Board to consider the children, since this is across the street from an elementary
school. The applicant, Mrs. Linda Charles, said this is an office only, there is absolutely
no traffic. A bail bondsman is required to have a place to house records outside of the
home, and that is the reason for this request. She is a special educator, and is a volunteer
at Mitchell Elementary School. The Ordinance was then read the second time, having
been read the first time on April 20, 1999. The rules were suspended to provide for the
third and last reading of the Ordinance by unanimous vote of the Board Members present,
being eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors.
A roll call vote was taken on passage of the Ordinance as follows: Ayes — Directors
Lichty, Cazort, Stewart, and Kelly — total 4; Noes — Directors Pugh, Hinton, Keck,
Wyrick, Kumpuris, Adcock, and Mayor Dailey — total 7. Whereupon, Mayor Dailey
announced that the Ordinance had FAILED.
Consideration was then given to Ordinance No. 18,006, with the title being:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 31 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, PROVIDING
FOR DEFERRAL OF MASTER STREET PLAN RIGHT -OF -WAY
REQUIREMENTS FOR LOT 12, BLOCK 333, ORIGINAL CITY OF LITTLE
ROCK, LOCATED AT 300 S. PULASKI;
and the Ordinance was read the first time. The rules were suspended to provide for the
second and third readings of the Ordinance by unanimous vote of the Board Members
present, being eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of
Directors. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the
vote recorded as follows: Ayes — Directors Pugh, Hinton, Lichty, Cazort, Keck, Stewart,
Wyrick, Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, and Mayor Dailey — total 11; Noes — None; Absent —
None. Therefore, the Ordinance was declared PASSED.
Item 10 on the Agenda was a proposed Resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO
ACQUIRE RIGHT -OF -WAY FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT AT THE
INTERSECTION OF MARKHAM AND MISSISSIPPI STREETS.
452
Minutes
May 4, 1999
Following the reading of the Resolution, which had been deferred from April 20, 1999,
Mr. Bob Turner, Assistant Director of Public Works, explained that the City made an
offer on the property on the northwest corner which was declined. The property owner
on the southwest corner has refused to negotiate. Director Adcock said that with the
additional ROW this property will be set back only 17 ft. from the street rather than the
required 25 ft. which will make this property out of compliance, and asked how the City
can do that. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Planning and Development, said there is an
Ordinance that says that the taking of right -of -way for additional street cannot make a use
non - conforming. No action of the Board in condemnation of right -of -way can make a
use non - conforming. Responding to a question by Director Lichty, Mr. Turner said that
the property has not been appraised by an appraiser. The actual damages that would be
incurred will be determined by the condemnation action, regardless of the appraised
value. Mr. Bob Robinson, attorney for Suzanne and Danny Oldham at the northwest
corner of Markham and Mississippi, asked the Board to reject this project for three
reasons. (1) There is no need for this project. (2) The impact that this taking will have
on the home will be very adverse and unfair. This will unduly restrict access to this
home. (3) A cost benefit analysis does not justify this project. Director Keck asked staff
to once again talk through the different options with the property owners. He then moved
to defer the vote for two weeks. The motion was seconded by Director Adcock, and
unanimously adopted. Therefore, the vote on the Resolution was deferred to May 18,
1999. (Director Cazort asked staff to provide a plat survey of the property with the
proposed project so he could see what is being done and an estimated value of the entire
property. Director Adcock asked for traffic counts.)
Introduced next was Ordinance No. 18,007, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDS AND AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT WITH
HEWLETT- PACKARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $83,246 FOR THE PURCHASE
OF A GAS CHROMATOGRAPH/MASS SPECTROMETER (GCIMS) FOR THE
LITTLE ROCK POLICE DEPARTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
ARKANSAS STATE CRIME LABORATORY;
and the Ordinance was read the first time. The rules were suspended to provide for the
second and third readings of the Ordinance by unanimous vote of the Board Members
present, being eleven in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of
Directors. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the
vote recorded as follows: Ayes — Directors Pugh, Hinton, Lichty, Cazort, Keck, Stewart,
Wyrick, Kumpuris, Kelly, Adcock, and Mayor Dailey — total 11; Noes — None; Absent —
None. Therefore, the Ordinance was declared PASSED.
Consideration was then given to Resolution No. 10,547, entitled:
A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 10,092 (OCTOBER 7,
1997) AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO UTILIZE FEDERAL
FUNDING ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDE FIFTY PERCENT (50 %) MATCHING
MONIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RECREATIONAL TRAILS WITHIN
BOYLE PARK. (TO INCREASE MATCHING FUNDS FROM $20,000 TO $40,000.)
Following the reading of the Resolution, Director Cazort moved for its adoption. The
motion was seconded by Director Keck, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted.
The next presentation was Resolution No. 10,548, described as:
A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE BYLAW AMENDMENTS OF THE
LITTLE ROCK EDUCATION COMMISSION.
Following the reading of the Resolution, Director Cazort moved for its adoption. The
motion was seconded by Director Keck, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted.
Item 18 on the Agenda was a proposed Ordinance entitled: "AN
ORDINANCE TO AMEND LITTLE ROCK, ARK. REV. CODE SECTION 18 -52
(1988) TO LIMIT THE HOURS OF COMMERCIAL GARBAGE PICKUP
WITHOUT VIOLATION OF THE CITY NOISE ORDINANCE; TO DECLARE
AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES ". The Ordinance had been read
the first time on March 16, 1999, and the second reading scheduled for April 6, 1999 was
