Board of Directors Room
Little Rock, Arkansas
October 13, 1993 - 1:00 P.M.
The Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas
reconvened from the October 5, 1993 regular meeting with Mayor
Jim Dailey presiding. City Clerk Robbie Hancock called the roll
with the following Directors present: Directors Priest, Roy,
Lewellen, Mason, and Adcock - total 5; Absent - Director Sharp -
total 1.
With a quorum present, Mayor Dailey declared the Board of
Directors in session and stated the purpose of the reconvened
meeting was to continue the discussion regarding the proposed
annexation of 6.43 square miles to the City of Little Rock and
the special election set for November 16, 1993.
Mayor Dailey read a prepared statement concerning
annexation, stating it was in the best interest of the City to
withdraw the annexation election set for November 16, 1993, and
to determine if a different process should be followed in the
future. The Board wants Staff to catalog the various concerns
raised about the city's annexation policy during the past month
and present the report to the Board of Directors. The Board will
then determine the future annexation policy. Following the
comments made by Directors Roy, Adcock, Lewellen and Mason in
support of the statement, Mayor Dailey cancelled the public
hearing that had been scheduled for that date and time.
Consideration was then given to Ordinance No. 16,508, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE TO REPEAL LITTLE ROCK, ARK. ORDINANCE NO.
16,482 (SEPTEMBER 7, 1993) ; CANCELLING AN ELECTION TO BE HELD
NOVEMBER 16, 1993; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES;
(On the question of annexing 6.43 square miles to the City of
Little Rock, Arkansas.)
and the Ordinance was read the third time, having been read the
first and second times on September 29, 1993, and October 5,
1993, respectively. The Aye and No Vote taken on passage of the
Ordinance is recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Priest, Roy,
Lewellen, Mason, Mayor Dailey, and Director Adcock - total 6;
Noes - None; Absent - Director Sharp- total 1.
The Emergency Clause contained in Section 3 of the foregoing
Ordinance was then read and adopted by the following roll call
vote: Ayes - Directors Priest, Roy, Lewellen, Mason, Mayor
Dailey, and Director Adcock - total 6; Noes - None; Absent -
Director Sharp - total 1. Therefore, the Ordinance, together with
the Emergency Section, was declared PASSED.
Appearing on the Agenda as Item 3 was a proposed Ordinance
entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF INTENT CALLING FOR A REFERENDUM ON THE
ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY SQUARE MILES AT THE DECEMBER 14,
1993 SPECIAL ELECTION; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES. (This would have been the same areas included in
Ordinance No. 16,482, with the exclusion of the County Farm Road
area.) The proposed Ordinance was withdrawn and no action was
taken, due to the Board's desire to review the City's annexation
policy. (See Mayor's comments above.)
Appearing on the Agenda as Item 4 was a proposed Ordinance
described as: AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING TO THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK,
ARKANSAS, CERTAIN LANDS SITUATED IN PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS,
WHICH ARE CONTIGUOUS AND ADJACENT TO THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK;
AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE SUBMISSION OF THE QUESTION OF SAID

(Annexing square miles.) (This would have been the same

County Farm Road area.) The proposed Ordinance was withdrawn and
no was action taken, due to the Board's desire to review the
City's annexation policy. (See Mayor's comments above.)
The last matter to be considered was Resolution No. 9,015,
with the title being:
A RESOLUTION TO DECLARE THAT IN 1993 HALLOWEEN WILL BE
CELEBRATED IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS ON SATURDAY,

and the Resolution was read in full. There was a motion by
Director Roy, seconded by Director Mason, to adopt the
Resolution, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted by the
