For a considerable period of time it has been a matter of common knowledge that the salary level of municipal employees is rather low compared to similar positions, not only in industry in Little Rock but as compared to the salary levels of municipalities of cities of approx- imate size throughout the United States. April 29, 1957 - Cont'd. Likewise for a considerable period of time, it has been the request of the Administration that proper consideration be given and adequate studies be made which would result in proper legislation on behalf of the Council which would make it possible to raise the salary level to a more reasonable basis in comparison with that in industry locally and municipalities of equal size throughout the country. Furthermore in view of the above facts, it would be to the best interest to the public to discontinue the granting of individual raises to employees without the possibility of greatly disturbing the efficiency and morale of the entire personnel throughout the City. I. therefore, in the best interest of the public veto Ordinance No. 10,505. Very truly yours, Woodrow W. Mann Mayor" Filed in connection with the ordinance was a communication from the Pulaski County Dental Society requesting the City Council to grant the increase in salary to Mrs. Catherine Hidy, Public Health Educator, in recognition of her program in the field of public health education in the City of Little Rock: Dr. Maurice Friedman of the Dental Society and representatives of other groups being in attendance also spoke in her behalf. Alderman Griffey, Chairman of the City Council Finance Committee then stated that the City at this time was not financially in position to grant salary raises that had been ' requested from various City employees and that until such time that the Revenues would warrant salary increases it was the recommendation of the Finance Committee that this increase be denied at this time with the pledge that it would be considered in the budget for 1958.

I - Contt d. recommended value of each building. There was a question in my mind as to whether or not this schedule and such values would be binding on the Board of Public Affairs in placing such insurance. I requested an opinion on this matter from the Assistant City ' Attorney, Joseph C. Kemp, and his reply is attached hereto, whereby he states that the schedule would bind the Board of Public Affairs. both as to buildings and values. In view of a substantial discrepancy in one particular instance, nemely, the City Hospital and Nurses Home, it is my opinion that it would not be sound business to enter into a contract for insurance. We have on file with the Board of Public Affairs signed appraisals on the entire City Hospital property, both buildings and land. Such appraisals were made by competent professional appraisers. The difference between these appraisals and that included in the recom- mended insurance schedule amounts to in excess of $350,000 and this does not take into consideration the fact that the insurance schedule includes values for buildings only and the appraisal includes not only buildings but also land. It therefore is apparent that there is an unusually large difference in these values and before entering into a contract for insurance for specified city property it would seem that we should properly evaluate such property and purchase insurance accordingly. I For the reasons outlined above I have no choice but to veto Ordinance No. 10,556. Very truly yours, i Woodrow W. Mann WOODROW W.

ATTEST: 1141*40_�, City Clerk. APPROVED: /f' ,I r" Council Chamber, Little Rock, Arkansas, September 10, 1957 - 8:00 A The City Council of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas met in regular session with Mayor Woodrow W. Mann presiding, and Jack Murphy, Acting for the City Clerk, and the following Aldermen present: Hollis, Loy, Hood, Winder, Evans, Griffey, Reid and Parris - total 8; Absent - Miller and Corley - total 2. There being a quorum present and it being so announced, the following proceed- ings were had: The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with upon motion of Alderman Hood, seconded by Alderman Griffey. There was again presented the communication from Chief of Police Potts in regard to overtime pay in the Police Department as a result of the request by Mayor Mann on September 3, 1957 to cancel all days off for uniformed employees in the Little Rock Police Department during the emergency situation arising in the City as a result of the proposed integration at Central High School at the beginning of the Fall term on September 3, 1957; together with the Financial Analysis submitted by the City Clerk's Office, as presented on September 9, 1957, which remained on the calendar. Alderman Loy then stated that this meeting was for the purpose of giving the Mayor the opportun- ity of attending, so that he would be informed of the financial crisis facing the City at this time, since he had not attended the previous meeting on Monday, September 9, 1957• He also stated that the members of the Council felt that they should have been informed of the meeting held by the Mayor, Chief of Police Potts and School Superin- tendent Virgil Blossom on September 3, 1957, at which time the Mayor ordered Chief Pott to maintain a.full time uniformed force, causing the additional expenditure of overtime J 1 September 10, 1957 - Cont'd. pay, and that the Finance Committee and the City Council should have been given notice of the meeting and of any emergency existing. Mayor Mann stated that, after the meetin on September 3, 1957, he had no alternative other than to place the uniformed employees in the Little Rock Police Department on full time duty, after discussing with Chief of Police Potts and Superintendent of Schools Virgil Blossom the conditions arising in the City of Little Rock as a result of gradual integration as proposed by the Little Rock School Board at the beginning of the 1957 School term at Central High School. Alderman Loy then asked Chief Potts his opinion as to the need of maintaining a full time force at this time. Chief Potts stated that in his opinion that with the National Guard and State Police on duty as ordered by Governor Orval E. Faubus, it might be possible to operate at the present time without the full time force, but thatlhad the department not been operating at full strength the past week, they would not have been able to cover the important terminals as they had. Alderman Griffey then moved, seconded by Alderman Loy, that the Council public ly commend Governor Orval Faubus for his protection of the citizens of Little Rock, ' their life and property and that a wire commending Governor Faubus be sent to the Governor and United States Attorney General Herbert Brownell, stating that it is the (wish of the City Council that the Arkansas National Guard and State Police remain on duty at the Little Rock Central High School until the situation is settled. Said motior was adopted by the following roll call: Ayes - Hollis, Loy, Hood, Winder, Evans, Griffey, Reid and Parris - total S; Noes - none; Absent - Miller and Corley - total 2. (Copy of this wire also sent to President Eisenhower and United States District Judge Ronald N. Davies as directed by Aldermen Griffey and Loy). Alderman Griffey also requested, seconded by Alderman Loy, that the full time duty order to Chief Potts by the Mayor be rescinded, with the provision that if an emergency arises and it becomes necessary to call the police for overtime duty, the Council be notified and advised on the matter by the Mayor. Alderman Loy then stated that there should be a liason between the National Guard, and State and Local Governments, in order that all law enforcement bodies would ' be informed as to what actions were being taken on the matter of preventing violence and protecting the citizens of Little Rock during the present crisis. Chief Potts stated that all authorities were being advised on all orders issued. Alderman Griffey moved, that the Finance Committee call a meeting for 4:00 o'clock p.m. on this date to discuss the financial situation of the City, and determine what action should be taken at this time. As a substitute to this motion, Alderman Loy, moved that the Council recess immediately to a Committee of the Whole and that Deputy City Clerk Jack Murphy review the financial report with the Council, which motion was seconded by Alderman Evans, and adopted by unanimous viva voce vote of the Council. Whereupon, the Council recessed, after which they re- convened with Mayor Woodrow W. Mann presiding, and Jack Murphy, Acting for the City Clerk, and the following Aldermen present: Hollis, Loy, Hood, Winder, Evans, Griffey and Parris - total 7; Absent Miller, Corley and Reid - total 3. There being a quorum present and it being so announced, the following proceedings were had: Alderman Loy then stated, that the Council, after meeting as a Committee of the Whole, together with the Mayor and Chief of Police Potts, finds that an unusual condition has existed in the City of Little Rock since Monday, September 2, 1957 when the National Guard was called on duty at Central High School by Governor Faubus. The September 10, 1957 - Cont'd. City Council concurs with the Mayor and Chief Potts that precautionary measures should have been taken to provide a full time police force as ordered by the Mayor after the meeting held by the Mayor, Chief Potts and School Superintendent Virgil Blossom on Tuesday, September 3, 1957, and finds it necessary to approve the expenditures of any additional funds to provide a. full time police force as ordered by Mayor Mann and Chief Potts. Alderman Loy moved, that the Council approve the expenditures of any additional funds as approved by Mayor Mann and Chief of Police Potts, which motion was seconded by Alderman Griffey, and adopted by unanimous viva voce vote of the Council present. Alderman Loy also stated, that the Council recognizes that the additional expense of maintaining the full time police force during this emergency could mean cutting off of employees in other departments due to the acute financial condition of the City at this time. (Communication from Chief Potts and Financial Report received and filed). There being no further business presented or to come before the meeting, upon motion of Alderman Griffey, seconded by Alderman Evans, Council adjourned to meet again on Monday, September 301 1957 at 8:00 o'clock p.m. ATTEST: I� . City Clerk. APPROVED: Mayor. Council Chamber, Little Rock, Arkansas, September 30, 1957 - 8:00 P.M. The City Council of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas met in regular session with Mayor Woodrow W. Mann presiding, and Jack Murphy, Acting for the City Clerk, and the following Aldermen present: Miller, Loy, Hood, Winder, Evans, Griffey and Parris. - total 7; Absent - Hollis, Corley and Reid - total 3. There being a quorum present and it being so announced, the following proceed- ings were had.: The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with upon motion of Alderman Hood, seconded by Alderman Griffey. Alderman Loy presented the following declaration signed by Aldermen Franklin E. Loy, William C. Hood, Jr., Lee H. Evans, E. B. Miller and James-A. Griffey; to -wit: LE DECLARATION WHEREAS, The Honorable Orval E. Faubus, Governor of the State of Arkansas, publicly stated he had information which led him to believe that violence would break out in and around Central High School on the opening day of the present school term; and WHEREAS, The Governor, charged under the State Constitution with the responsibility of preserving the peace, called out the Arkansas National Guard to insure the peace and safety of the citizens of this Community; and WHEREAS, The Honorable Ronald N. Davies, Acting Judge of the 8th 1 September 30, 1957 - Cont'd. District United States Court, issued an injunction restraining Governor Faubus from using Arkansas National Guardsmen around Central High School; and WHEREAS, This Federal Court action made it mandatory for an under- manned Little Rock City Police Force to attempt to preserve the peace and safety of school children and adults in and around Central High School; and WHEREAS, The inability of this undermanned Little Rock Police Department to preserve the peace and safety of our citizens paved the way for the President of the United States, the Honorable Dwight D. Eisenhower, to order out the 101st Airborne Infantry to be transported to the City of Little Rock and to surround the area of Little Rock Central High, and further, the President of the United States ordered that the Arkansas National Guard and the Arkansas Air National Guard be federalized and placed under the command of the Commander -in -Chief of the United States; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, By the members of the Little Rock City Council, meeting in regular session in the Council Chambers in Little Rock City Hall, at 8 :00 P.M., this 30th day of September, 1957, believe that the following statements reflect the majority will of the citizens and taxpayers we the undersigned Aldermen were elected ro represent: 1. Governor Orval E. Faubus used sound judgement in calling out the Arkansas National Guard to preserve the peace and safety of our citizens; 2. We believe that the order of the federal court removing the ' National Guard and ordering immediate integration of Central High was not in the best interests of heretofore good relations between the races in our City and State; and further, that the judges decree should have been tempered by understanding and consideration for the mores, social customs and deep- seated convictions of the citizens of our Community and State; 3. The members of the Council deplore the ill- advised judgement of President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his effort to force integration in Central High in view of the outstanding progress made in this direction by elected representation of the citizens of this City and State; 4. It is the further judgment of the Council that the use of armed troops of the United States Army to enforce opinions of the United States Supreme Court is not compatible to our American way of life whereby the several States of the United States were endowed with certain inalienable rights to promote the economic and social welfare of its Citizens 5. The answer to Little Rockls problem is not force but time and understanding. Education begets intelligence; intelligence begets understanding, and understanding will succeed in peaceful and co- operative solution to any problem whether it be in the field of race !` relation or elsewhere; ` 6. The federal government has elected to choose a course of force in Little Rock's school crisis. History will judge whether this decision resulted in bringing the members of the races closer together or further apart in our City 'and State. The Little Rock City Council believes the president's action was not in the best interest of the race relation in the City and hereby respectfully requests Governor Faubus to forthwith call the Arkansas General Assembly into special session to consider the action taken by the federal government, and we further suggest that State aid to primary, elementary and State - supported Colleges be withheld from any school which is forced to integrate its pupils by the armed might of the federal government. s/ Franklin E.

The Chamber of Commerce who advocated and endorsed parking meters did so on the basis that such revenue would be used for street and traffic improvement purposes only, and would not be diverted into the General Revenue of the City. The Chamber is pleased with the progress which has been made in street improvement since the advent of parking meters. At the same tittle, the Chamber believes that considerable work still remains to be done and consequently any diversion of parking meter revenue to General Fund at this time is not justified and is not keeping faith with the citizens who were asked to vote parking meters. The Committee, therefore, requests that the City Council ' dissolve any effort that would result in a diversion of parking meter revenue for any purpose that is not otherwise provided for in the ordinances.

I wish to express my appreciation to all the people who have labored for the past twelve months to make the city manager form of government possible in our City, particularly do I want to mention the members of the Good Government Committee and the many people who have given of their time and talents in this connection. In entering upon the duties of a City Director and upon assuming the curtailed responsibilities of the Mayor's office, I wish to express my personal feeling that the Board should and will make necessary changes only after thoughtful and full consideration. Further, I believe that the customs and traditions of our way of life will continue & I have no plan or inclination to suggest any changes that are not the will of the majority of our citizens. I know the intent of your Board of Directors is to give this City the finest possible administration and services, and I am happy to pledge my efforts to do whatever is within my power to bring about the kind of administration that will make Little Rock a better place in which to work and live."

The City Manager explained that the purpose of this ordinance was to correct the method of collecting fees for the examination and licensing of Boiler Operators in the City; that the State Boiler Inspection Department ' inspected boilers for the operation of same but did not license the operators, and unde the existing ordinances the person examining operators for license of boilers received fees so collected. He recommended the hiring of a man by the City, and the license fees collected to be paid into the City's General Fund, whereby an accurate record would be had of the amount collected; and that a proper ordinance be drawn to establish same.

Mr. Dauley then . recommended that the City retain this Police Matron, at a salary not to exceed $200.00 per month and discussed a proposed ordinance to establish said salary, to be retroactive to February 1, 1958, as the person so employed had served since that time only on the portion of salary paid by the City, and it was only fair that she be advised as to her status. Dr. Lawson then reported that he was working with a committee of which Frank Holt, Prosecuting Attorney for Pulaski County was a member, and they were to meet with ' Judge Campbell with the hope that a joint merger might be worked out whereby Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County would share in the payment of salary for this position. The Board of Directors then requested Mr. Dauley, City Manager, to convey assurance to Mrs. Stannard, the present Police Matron, that her position would be retained; and consideration of a proposed ordinance to establish her salary was deferred until after the meeting with Judge Campbell of Pulaski County. Director Langford then stated that in regard to the appointment of a Civil Defense Director for the City of Little Rock, the State and Federal Governments would recognize the City Manager as such, thus making it possible for the City to benefit by participating in Federal matching funds for certain improvements. Director Langford then moved, seconded by Director Blankenship, that a resolution be adopted to appoint Dean Dauley, City Manager, as said Civil Defense Director, which was adopted by unani- mous viva voce vote of the members of the Board of Directors present. The following bills and payrolls for the month of February, 1958, were then , approved and allowed paid, on request of the Acting City Clerk, upon motion of Director Winburn, seconded by Director Blankenship, by the following vote: Ayes - Directors Baldwin, Winburn, Mrs. Dixon, Blankenship, Griffin, Mayor Knoop, and Langford - total 7; Noes - none; Absent - none.

Ac i ity J APPROVED: M Ae �I -J i Council Chamber, Little Rock, Arkansas, March 17, 1958 - 7 :30 P.M. The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas met in regular session with Mayor W. C. Knoop presiding, and Acting City Clerk E. Jack Murphy and the following Directors present: Baldwin,..Blankenship, Griffin and Langford - total 4; Absent - Directors Winburn and Mrs. Dixon - total 2. There being a quorum present and it being so announced, the following pro- ceedings were had: The meeting was opened with a prayer by Director G. W. Blankenship. The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with and said minutes approved, upon motion of Director Baldwin, seconded by Director and by unanimous viva voce vote of the members of the Board of Directors present. Director Winburn was enrolled. There was again presented the petition from Samson, Inc., by Sam J. Storthz, President, and David Wayne Courtney, John V. Bracey and Mildred H. Bracey, representing themselves to be.the owners of all property abutting upon a portion of Arthur Street proposed to be closed, asking the City to vacate and abandon a portion of Arthur Street between "H" and "I" Streets; together with communications from the Little Rock Planning Director and City Engineer approving the proposed closing. Public hearing was held on said petition on February 17, 1958, and a proposed ordinance to close said street was read the first time and placed on the calendar with petition for same. The petition and proposed ordinance were again presented on March 3, 1958, the ordinance read the second time and both placed on the calendar. Director Langford stated that he had studied the proposed closure and disapproved because he felt the area needed access for fire protection, but if it should be approved for closing, it was his opinion that it would serve a better purpose as a playground area than to revert to property owners, thus allowing real estate developers to subdivide and annex to the property. Thomas R. Burleigh, Planning Director, and James Larrison, Chairman of the Little Rock Plannin Commission, then reiterated their approval of the proposed closing of the narrow right- of-way as originally platted, thus making it possible to replat the old subdivision for better development of the area, saving the City the cost of developing and maintaining this dedicated right -of -way.

We are gravely concerned that the forces of lawlessness be apprehended before a situation might arise comparable to that which caused the citizens of Phenix City to live under a lawless reign of terror. March 31, 198 - Cont'd. We deplore the assult upon Little Rock's city manager in open defiance of law and order. We wish to commend City Manager Dean I. Dauley and the Board of Directors for their forthright stand for law enforcement and their avowed determination to bring violators to justice. We are urging Mr. Otho Cook, the foreman of the Pulaski County Grand Jury, and Mr. Frank Holt, Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney, to make a thorough investigation of the conditions which have led to flagrant violation of the law. We urge the Board of Directors to see that those who are responsible for the enforcement of the law use every means at their disposal to keep order and decency in Little Rock. We know that you join with us in commending Little Rock's daily newspapers, the Arkansas Democrat and the Arkansas Gazette, for bringing to light the conditions which exist, and for their rallying support for strict enforcement of the law. We personally pledge our wholehearted cooperation to you as we work together for creating a more wholesome community. Very Sincerely Yours, s/ Dunbar H. Ogden, Jr. Dunbar H.

Brown, speaking on behalf of the group, stated that the privilege license in Little Rock on gasoline pumps in retail service stations was the highest in the State, being $17.50 per pump; and asking a decrease to $10.00 per pump. Mr. Ray Manor, Executive Secretary of the Association said this would be an approximate reduction of,$7,500, based on an estimate of 225 service stations in the City with an over -all average of five pumps each. Assistant Mayor Blankenship advised the members that the Board of Directors had considered this request in a prior meeting, and that due to the fact that the present budget for the remainder of 1958 was based on figures of estimated revenue currently in effect, a reduction in this privilege tax at this time would cause a deficit in operating expenses. Director Griffin stated that the Board of Directors had agreed that the privilege tax charged on retail service stations was too high and it was their intention to revise the entire privilege tax ordinance due to the fact that the tax on some businesses was too high and some too low; and proposed that the Board of Directors go on record that due consideration would be given the retail , service station operators in this study and that the tax would be reduced when the budget was considered in December for the following year, which proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the members of the Board of Directors present. He further advised the members of the Association to present full details of their request to the City Collec- tor so that the members of the Board of Directors would have this information available when this study was made. There was again presented a proposed Ordinance, entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 10,807 SAME BEING, "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISH ING STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS, BOTH PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL, CURBS AND GUTTERS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY; PROVIDING FOR PERMITS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY BUILDING INSPECTOR UPON WRITTEN APPLICATION AND A FEE; ADOPTING STANDARDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS, CURBS AND GUTTERS IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK; PROVIDING FOR THE LOCATION AND GRADE FOR SIDEWALKS, DRIVE- ' WAYS, CURBS AND GUTTERS TO BE ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY ENGINEER; PROVIDING FOR APPROVAL BY THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER; PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING EXCEPTIONS; PROVIDING FOR THE VALIDITY OF THIS ORDINANCE; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES "; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES; which proposed ordinance was read the second time, having been read the first time on June 16, 1958 and placed on the calendar.

There being a quorum present and it being so announced, the following pro- ceedings were had: The meeting was opened with a prayer by Director Blankenship. The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with and said minutes approved, upon motion of Director Baldwin, seconded by Director Blankenship, by unanimous viva voce vote of the members of the Board of Directors present. There was again presented a proposed Ordinance, entitled: II AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING MINUMUM STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SUB- ' DIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LAND WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK; III PRESCRIBING PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS THEREFOR; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES; which proposed ordinance had been read the first time on July 21, 1958, and placed on the calendar to be presented for second reading at this date and time, and all persons interested to be given an opportunity to be heard. Whereupon, all persons so desiring were then heard on the matter. III DeMatt Henderson, Attorney, representing members of the Little Rock Real Estate Board, stated that it was the understanding of this group at a meeting of representatives from various groups and from the City, held in June, 1958, that a Committee from the Real Estate Board would meet with the Little Rock Planning Commissio 11 to revise some provisions of the proposed ordinance before it was presented to the Board of Directors for consideration, and that this meeting had not been held. He said I I! it was the opinion of the members of the Real Estate Board that some provisions of the ' proposed ordinance were impractical, restrictive, and regulations contradictory in part and that it would make it prohibitive for people in low income brackets in the City or within the three to five -mile radius outside the City Limits to build homes by having to conform to the same regulations and restrictions as those building homes costing as high as $50,000 to $100,000 Dollars. He brought to the attention of the Board of (Directors i that the proposed three to five -mile radius outside the City Limits would cover an area of approximately 127 square miles and that by passage of this ordinance I the Board would be legislating for people in about 100 square miles who have no voice in the local government, and who would not benefit from Police or Fire protection; and (particularly cited Sections 6.3.2 (size of lots), 7.1.2.1 (Street name signs, Fire i Hydrants, Sidewalks and Street pavements beyond the three -mile limit), and 7.1.1.7 (placing of Fire Hydrants). He further stated that the rules made no distinction in requirements for the area west of the Airport or the area west of Hall High School, or on property costing $6,000 an acre or $60 an acre, and would increase the cost of sub- ' dividing and developing of lots in the $1,000 to $1,200 price range. He used as an example a twenty -mile tract off Chicot Road and presented Blue Prints showing that II under the present regulations the tract could be subdivided into 64 lots at.a cost of Ilapproximkte•ly $932 per lot, whereas under the proposed regulations, it would reduce to July 28, 1958 - Cont'd.. 36 the number of lots, and that the cost of development would be approximately $2,000 within the three -mile radius and $1,800 in the five -mile radius. He further noted that provisions requiring developers to dedicate up to 100 -foot right -of -way for major ' streets and to reserve property for civic developments such as parks, was confiscatory. He also stated that to his knowledge the Little Rock Planning Commission had not com- pleted or filed a major street plan to this date giving detailed locations or widths as required by Act 186 of 1957, which gives the City jurisdiction over a five -mile radius outside the City Limits. He said that members of the Real Estate Board were not opposed to set rules and regulations on subdivisions, and realized a basic need for same and presented at this time a resolution adopted by the Little Rock Real Estate Board as follows, to -wit: "At a duly held meeting of the Little Rock Real Estate Board held on July 25, 1958, the following resolution was adopted: "BE IT RESOLVED, That the Little Rock Real Estate Board composed of realtors actively engaged in the sale and development of properties in the Little Rock area and as such recognizing the desirability ' for orderly development of properties and concurring with the objects sought to be accomplished by the proposed Subdivision Ordinance wishes to cooperate in the preparation of a realistic ordinance regulating the subdivision of property and to that end will designate appropriate representatives to meet with persons to be designated by the Board of Directors of the City but that it is the opinion of the Little Rock Real Estate Board that the proposed ordinance, in its present form, fails to take into.consideration the needs of this community, and until realistically revised to meet local conditions would work unnecessary and undue hardships upon both developers, owners and purchasers." We, therefore, request the Board of Directors of the City to designate representatives to work with - representatives of:- thi's'Board,rand.: other interested agencies, in the'revision of, the proposed ordinance, and that no action be taken until such revised ordinance can be presented for adoption. sl C Buchanan Clyde Buchanan, President, ' Little Rock Real Estate Board" Mr. James H. Larrison, Chairman of the Little Rock Planning Commission then stated that the requirement of 20,000 'square feet as the minumum lot area where septic tanks are used, was based on the requirements set out by the County Planning Commission Mr. Larrison further stated that at this time there were no Subdivision plans pending IIIbefore the Planning, Commission that were being held up awaiting the passage of this proposed ordinance; but that a proposed Subdivision by Mr. Elbert Fausett of Fausett I Realty Company was approved by the Little Rock Planning Commission subject to the dedication of 100 feet for the purpose of widening West 8th Street. Mr. Thomas Burleigh, former member of the Staff of the Little Rock Planning Commission and now Chief Planner for the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, then reviewed the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Little Rock and Metroplan, which gives the Little Rock Planning Commission the combined services of the Metroplan Staff on Zoning and Planning. Mr. Burleigh also stated that provisions of Act 186 of 1957 , had been complied with by the filing and recording of a Land Use Plan with Maps by the i Little Rock Planning Commission in 1957• Mr. Dean Dauley,City Manager, upon question by Mr. Henderson as to the origin of the proposed ordinance, stated that the first draft of the proposed ordinance was July 28, 1958 - Cont1d. taken from one now in effect in North Little Rock with the exception of a number of changes made as suggested after meetings with various groups of Realtors and Home ' (Builders, and that the regulations had been modified to a great extent; and that in his opinion the requirements would not substantially increase the cost of a lot and that buyers would be getting more for their money. He also stated that the regulation requiring the placing of fire plugs within a certain distance from houses would be only enforced on property adjacent to the City Limits. Mr. Gerald McLindon, former Director of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commis and now associated with a private Real Estate Developer, expressed the opinion that the proposed regulations were premature, and that Master Plans for streets, recreation Illfacilities, sewers and Capital Improvements were being made by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission and would be completed within the next year; and that it would be to an advantage for future years to postpone passing new subdivision rules regulations until this was completed. He also said this would give the general public an opportunit to become more familiar with the proposed regulations governing subdivisions and have a better understanding, which was essential before acceptance. Mr. E. L. Fausett of Fausett Realty Company, that stated present regulations with a few minor changes were adequate if enforced and that FHA requirements were being met in all of his.developments. Mr. Jack Tucker of Tucker Realty Company, expressed the same opinion as previous j ly stated in the Resolution of the Little Rock Real Estate Board, and requested that a Committee be appointed from the various groups affected to revise the proposed ordinance t a form acceptable to all concerned. I i , Mr. 0. D. Lon streth Jr., representin g propert y owners in general, and people I in the lower income bracket who would be most affected by the proposed ordinance, said that the proposed regulations would prevent this group from owning homes due to the increase in cost of development. I� Mr. Cecil-White, member of the Little Rock Real Estate Board, represented jproperty owners in the Southwest area of the City, and requested that representatives 'from this group be included in a Committee to meet with the Little Rock Planning Com- mission on a possible revision of the proposed ordinance. After due deliberation by the Board of Directors on the question of placing the Ilproposed ordinance on second reading,or re- referral to the Little Rock Planning Commis - �sion, upon motion of Director Winburn, seconded by Director Mrs. Dixon, and by unanimous (viva voce vote of the members of the Board of Directors present, the proposed ordinance was re- referred to the Little Rock Planning Commission, with the recommendation and request that a Committee be appointed from members of the Little Rock Real Estate Board, I I Arkansas Home Builders Association, and Property Owners in the Areas affected, to thoroughly study the proposed ordinance for possible revision; and to present their ,recommendations on said proposed ordinance at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors to be held on August 18, 1958. There was then presented the appointment by the Mayor, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, of Mr. Herman Bamberg, Sr., as a member of the Little Rock (Planning Commission, to fill the unexpired term of Mr. James B. Finley, resigned, said term to expire on November 1, 1958. Upon motion of Director Baldwin, seconded by Director Mrs. Dixon, said appointment was approved by unanimous viva voce vote of the fflimembers of the Board of Directors present.

J. Raney and Sons. Director Griffin stated that in his opinion this was not necessary as the City could not accept this bid and would re- advertise for bids. He further stated that the City could not afford to pay more than 3.50 per cent for these bonds. Mr. Jack Stephens of Stephens, Inc., then stated that since his firm had recommended the sale of the bonds on auction rather than sealed bids, and desired to have the City receive the best bid they could make, he would lower his bid to 3.595 cent, which was the figure his firm would have submitted had the sale been on the sealed bid basis. He said that in his opinion this was a very good bid as bonds in the same "A" rating as the Little Rock bonds had just been sold in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 3.601 per cent.

Mr. Stephens then agreed to again lower his bid to 3.50 per cent in order that the City could sell the bonds at this time. Director Langford then withdrew his motion that the meeting be adjourned, and Director Griffin withdrew his second to the motion. Director Winburn then questioned the matter of the legality of the Board re- opening the bidding after all bids had been rejected. City Attorney Joseph Kemp, l i stated that he desired to confer with Mr. Wallace Townsend, and Mr. William Nash, Bond Counsel on this question before giving an opinion.

In I view of those facts the recommendation of the City Attorneyts Office is that the Board not take any action at this time ".
